Killing God - Chapter 305
Chapter 305 Objection
The next day, Shen Shi woke up early. After he finished his daily homework in the cave, he was somewhat restless. He finally saw that the sky was about to turn dark. He went straight out of the cave and quickly walked along the mountain path towards Guanhai platform.
At this moment in his mind, Of course, it was all about going to the Arts Hall today. Although Xu Yanzhi did not say anything yesterday, the meaning behind his words was already very clear. In addition to Elder Pu’s private instructions to him in the Five Elements Hall a few days ago, Shen Shi did not need to guess that today was the final and most crucial test of whether he could join Elder Pu’s sect.
However, he didn’t know what this examination was, and from Elder Pu’s words that day, it seemed that there would be other elders who would come to witness it, so he didn’t know who it would be.
With some uneasy thoughts in his heart, he unconsciously stepped onto the viewing platform. The seven enormous pillars that looked like they were standing upright in the sky were still the first to enter his eyes as usual. Afterwards, Shen Shi subconsciously looked in the direction of the Spiritual Medicine Hall in front of Guanhai platform.
There were still traces of the noise and excitement from yesterday. Although the crowd had already dispersed, the remnants of the campfire still recorded the heart-shaking pill gathering last night. They also described the most dazzling moment under the night sky. The tired but beautiful woman stood in the brightest spot.
Shen Shi stared for a moment before turning his gaze back. He walked in another direction. The hall was the most deserted among the seven halls. Not only was it ranked last, but even the Five Elements Hall was not able to find a single piece of land around Guanhai platform. Instead, it was built in a remote corner in the distance.
Along the way, There were also quite a few Ling Xiao Sect disciples passing by on the way, Occasionally, when he brushed past them, Shen Shi could vaguely hear a few words of discussion and chat, but what he said was almost all about the pill gathering last night, and Zhong Qinglu’s appearance was even more frequent. Obviously, one night later, Zhong Qinglu’s status in the Lingxiao Sect had soared with the performance of the pill gathering and the opportunity to immediately join Elder Yunni’s sect.
His words were like a breeze whispering in his ears. After a while, they quietly left. Shen Shi calmly continued to walk forward until he left the crowd and arrived outside the Five Elements Hall of the Arts Hall.
As usual, this place looked very deserted. However, there was already a figure standing at the entrance of the hall. It was Xu Yanzhi. The moment he saw Shen Shi appear, a smile appeared on his face as he waved at him, signaling him to hurry over. It looked like he was waiting for Shen Shi here.
Shen Shi didn’t dare to neglect it. He hurriedly ran over and said to Xu Yanzhi, “Senior Sister, why are you here so early?”
Xu Yanzhi smiled faintly and said, “Today is your important day. Of course, I will come over and watch for you.”
Shen Shi felt somewhat grateful and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister.”
Xu Yanzhi waved his hand and smiled, “Alright, don’t stand here. Let’s talk inside.”
As she spoke, she brought Shen Shi into the Five Elements Hall. At the same time, he said to Shen Shi as he walked, “You must have guessed it yourself. That’s right. I called you here today because Master wanted to test you one last time before accepting you as an apprentice. However, I have to test you out. I’ve been helping you to inquire about it several times in the past few days, but Master refused to say anything. I can only wait for him to come over and explain it to you later.”
Shen Shi nodded. Seeing that there were no other figures in the Five Elements Hall, he lowered his voice slightly and said to Xu Yanzhi, “Senior Sister, do you know which elder will come to witness today?”
Xu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment and whispered, “It should be Elder Yunni of the Pill Hall.”
Shen Shi was shocked, and his body trembled slightly. “How could it be her? Didn’t the Pill Hall just have such a fierce pill gathering last night?” He asked in shock.
Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, “That doesn’t make any sense. The pill gathering last night was naturally extremely heart-shaking and intense. However, it was all the disciples of the Pill Hall who participated in the pill gathering that were tired. Elder Yun himself was merely presiding over the pill gathering, so how could it matter?”
Shen Shi was silent. He also reacted in his heart. Perhaps the surprise from earlier was due to Zhong Qinglu. He had thought that the Pill Hall might hold a grand ceremony today, but he didn’t expect that Elder Yun Ni didn’t seem to care about such a thing.
He thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask Xu Yanzhi, “Senior Sister, there shouldn’t be anyone else besides Elder Yun Ni, right?”
“Nonsense.” Xu Yanzhi sneered, “Do you think that all the Origin Core Realm elders in Lingxiao Sect are very leisurely, “Oh, well, most of them are indeed quite relaxed … Actually, logically speaking, every Origin Core Realm elder has the qualifications to come and witness. However, all of the elders are respected and respected figures. Other than their own cultivation, they really don’t care much about the secular affairs of the sect, and they won’t pay special attention to the examination of a disciple of the Origin Condensation Realm.”
Shen Shi wasn’t angry after hearing this, because Xu Yanzhi’s words were the right one. However, he had some doubts in his heart. He said, “Senior Sister, why did Elder Yunni come over?”
Xu Yanzhi said, “Master invited him over.”
“Ah!” Shen Shi said, “So, Elder … Elder Pu, is his relationship with Elder Yunni very good?”
Xu Yanzhi curled her lips and said, “Not good.”
“…” Shen Shi was speechless for a moment, only looking at Xu Yanzhi.
Xu Yanzhi covered her mouth and smiled. Then, she said, “I’m telling the truth. Master is a bit strange and has a temper. Among the many Origin Core Realm elders in the sect, he doesn’t have any particularly good friends. That is to say, he has the deepest friendship with the Sect Leader because he is the direct disciple of the same Master.”
Shen Shi scratched his head and said, “Then why would he think of inviting Elder Yun Ni? I’ve heard of Elder Yun before. She seems to …” He didn’t say anything else, as if he was worried about something.
Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. Although Elder Yun’s eyes are usually cold and his relationship with her master is average, she has a good relationship with the Sect Master. She went to find the Sect Master first, then went to find her. Only then did she invite Elder Yun Ni over.”
After Shen Shi heard this, his heart suddenly warmed up. However, he did not expect Elder Pu to secretly use such a great favor. He could not help but feel even more grateful towards the goatee old man.
As the two of them were talking, Suddenly, he heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the hall. He turned around and looked, Two people walked in. The first one was Elder Pu, who had a goatee and white beard. Half a step away from him was a beautiful woman. Her expression was calm and her temperament was like snow. At first glance, she didn’t seem to have the slightest bit of fireworks. She really had the beauty of an immortal. She was Elder Yun Ni Yun, one of the five great elders of Lingxiao Sect, who was in charge of the largest hall.
Xu Yanzhi and Shen Shi hurriedly went forward to greet him. Yun Ni’s expression was faint and she nodded slightly without saying a word. However, perhaps because she had come specifically for Shen Shi today, her gaze stayed on Shen Shi for a while longer, as if she had observed him for a while, and then she turned her gaze away.
Compared to Yun Ni’s coldness, Old Man Pu had a smile on his face. He looked much warmer. He walked over and patted Shen Shi’s shoulder. He smiled and said, “Kid, are you ready? Today is the test!”
Shen Shi took a deep breath and nodded heavily. “Disciple understands. I’m ready.”
Old Man Pu laughed and said, “That’s good. Elder Yun is a busy person. Especially since he just accepted a proud disciple yesterday, he doesn’t have much time to spend with us. Let’s finish this matter as soon as possible, right?” As he finished his sentence, he smiled and turned to Yun Ni to ask.
Yun Ni’s expression was calm. However, when she heard the words of yesterday’s disciple recruitment, she could still see a trace of warmth flashing across her face. It seemed that she was quite satisfied with the result last night. Shen Shi saw her expression from the side and felt somewhat happy for Zhong Qinglu in his heart.
Seeing that Elder Yun Ni did not object, Old Man Pu grinned and called for everyone to walk outside the main hall. At the same time, he said to Shen Shi, “Today is the test for you. The people of our Hall of Arts are more or less different. Therefore, this examination is for you to go to a sea area called ‘Coral Isle’ at the foot of Golden Rainbow Mountain and find me three ‘Jade Corals’.”
Before they could finish speaking, when the four of them walked to the main entrance, another figure suddenly appeared from outside the hall. He was tall and dignified, and his gaze under his white eyebrows was like lightning. He didn’t seem to be angry, but had a mighty aura. He was actually Elder Sun Mingyang, who was extremely prestigious in Lingxiao Sect.
“Old Pu, I don’t think this exam is too good.” Elder Sun Ming Yang’s voice echoed as he stood at the entrance of the main hall. He laughed and said, “Coral Isle has three floors. How can a mere jade coral at the top see through Old Pu’s vision? In my opinion, we should at least go to the middle sea area and find a few Silver Sea Anemone Pearls to return?”
When he saw Elder Sun Ming Yang suddenly appear, Old Man Pu frowned. After hearing Elder Sun’s words, his expression immediately darkened. He looked coldly at Elder Sun Ming Yang and snorted coldly, “Old Sun, are you trying to cause trouble?”
Sun Ming Yang smiled, but he didn’t seem to care about Old Man Pu’s expression at all. He said gently, “Old Pu, I’m just going to visit an old friend in Qingyu Island. Before I left, I just remembered that the Coral Isle you’re going to today is on the same path, so I came to take a look.” “As for the rest, I think when we were discussing the matter that day, Old Pu, your loudest and loudest shout was actually the word’rules’, wasn’t it?”
He smiled and said, “I looked at my fellow disciples and thought that I should go and witness with you. Isn’t this the rule? I don’t think the jade coral is difficult enough. It’s also the rule to suggest switching to silver sea anemone beads, right? Is there anything that goes beyond that, Elder Yun?” As he spoke, he turned around and asked Yun Ni.
Yun Ni stopped and her expression was indifferent. However, her bright eyes flashed faintly, as if she was somewhat surprised. However, after a moment, she first glanced at Old Man Pu. Then, her gaze fell on Elder Sun Ming Yang’s face. After seeing the meaningful gaze in Sun Ming Yang’s eyes, she fell silent for a moment and then said indifferently,
“Yes, Elder Sun’s words are reasonable.”

In the inn, Liuyun City.
Xiao Hei lazily stood up and yawned loudly. Then, he shook his body forcefully. He looked as if he had not woken up yet and walked around the room a few times. On the bed, Ling Chunni gently hugged the bedding and rubbed his soft cheeks against the pillow, feeling a little warmth.
Another day.
Do you have to wait alone again?
She was somewhat dazed and seemed to be somewhat lazy and tired. She did not want to stand up at all. She gently stared at the branch outside the window, and looked at the slightly grown green buds. His figure floated past her heart again.
What day is this?
Just as she was thinking, on the ground not far from the bed, Xiao Hei’s ears suddenly curled up, as if he could feel something. Almost a moment later, two knocks came from the door of the room.
“Knock, knock …”
Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment before suddenly turning around and sitting up, a trace of joy appearing on his face.
Is he back?
