Killing God - Chapter 328
Chapter 328 Yang Mou
“Sun You, who is that? I don’t know him.” Old Man Pu shook his head and took another sip of wine.
Shen Shi smiled and said, “He is a good friend of mine. He joined the sect the same year. In addition, he is Elder Sun’s direct grandson. He is ranked second in the current generation of the Sun Clan. His father is also Elder Sun’s second son.”
Old Man Pu was stunned for a moment. The wine jar in his hand slowly lowered. He looked at Shen Shi and said, “Sun Ming Yang, that old bastard’s grandson?”
Shen Shi nodded and said, “Yes.”
Old Man Pu’s eyes flashed, but there was no change on his face. He said, “You know how to make friends, kid. What’s wrong? Is something the matter?”
Shen Shi said, “Oh,” and said, “The one who came to complain to me said that Elder Sun still has a personal disciple spot under his name. Just as the Four Great Meetings are about to arrive, Elder Sun decided to take care of his own children and intend to accept a member of the Sun Family into his sect. However, the last spot was for his eldest brother, Sun Heng. As a result, his future is bleak. He was disappointed and angry in his heart, and no one could say anything about it. That’s why he came to me to complain. ”
Old Man Pu chuckled and took a sip of wine. He shook his head but didn’t say anything.
Shen Shi continued, “This disciple also heard a piece of news, As you did when you took me as your disciple, Elder Sun was ranked among the five great elders. He also wanted to invite more than one Origin Core Realm elder to observe the examination. He heard that Elder Sun invited Elder Jin Zhan of the Spirit Beast Palace to participate in the examination. The opponent was Senior Brother Sun Heng, who was fighting on the mountain. “At this point, he suddenly stopped and revealed a strange expression.
Old Man Pu glanced at him and said, “What is your opponent?”
Shen Shi coughed and said, “I heard that the opponent Elder Sun arranged for Senior Brother Sun Heng is a black-striped turtle.”
Old Man Pu was dumbfounded. He seemed to be unable to react for a moment. He was stunned and said, “What?”
Shen Shi curled his lips. There was a hint of mockery on his face as he said, “A black-striped turtle. There are many of them under the Spirit Beast Palace.”
Old Man Pu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly jumped up and angrily said, “Why is this old bastard so shameless?”
The black-striped turtle was a common low-grade demonic beast raised by His Highness the Spirit Beast. Its temperament was gentle and its combat strength was low. Basically, when it encountered an enemy, its head and limbs would shrink into the hard shell. It would not be able to withdraw from the shell. It would allow others to toss it around and it would not be able to retaliate. The reason why the Spirit Beast Hall kept these black-striped turtles in captivity was because the shell of the black-striped turtle could be considered as a spirit material that could be used to forge weapons when it reached adulthood.
However, such a weak spirit beast would only be beaten and would not retaliate, yet it had chosen to be Sun Heng’s opponent. This implied that it was self-evident. Of course, it was just a casual formality. I have accepted this disciple’s intentions.
Originally, Elder Sun Ming Yang was supposed to take in his own disciple as he wished, so no one could interfere and there was no reason for him to meddle in other people’s affairs. However, when Elder Pu was planning to take Shen Shi as his disciple, Elder Sun came out and said a few words. He also said a test to find the Silver Sea Anemone Pearl in the Coral Sea.
The difference in difficulty between the previous two rounds was simply too great, and the contrast was too sharp.
Old Man Pu swung his wine jar and cursed for a long time. He looked very angry. However, after a while, his expression suddenly sank. He looked at Shen Shi and said, “I’ve never heard of this before. How did you know?”
Shen Shi’s expression was calm as he said calmly, “Sun You told me, and this matter has indeed not been made public. Elder Sun probably planned to do it in a few days when the examination was held. Naturally, no one had anything to say afterwards.” Perhaps Sun You was dissatisfied, and he was also a disciple of the Sun Clan, so he learned of this news from the people close to Elder Sun from the Sun Clan.
“Oh!” Old Man Pu suddenly smiled and said, “You are a friend of yours.”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “My friendship with Sun You is not bad. However, he should still want me to tell you these words to see if you will interfere in this matter. It is not certain if you will succeed or not, but he might still have such a chance.”
Old Man Pu’s expression was originally somewhat playful, but when he heard this, he was stunned again. His expression obviously froze for a moment. He frowned and said, “Brat, you … why are you speaking so straightforwardly and frankly? Shouldn’t you be trying to look at my mood from the sidelines and then try to encourage me to fight with Old Man Sun?”
Shen Shi shook his head. He pulled out a chair from the side and invited Old Man Pu to sit down. At the same time, he said, “Disciple is stupid, but doing things like that is equivalent to scheming against Master. I can’t do it. Furthermore, Master, you have always treated me kindly. If there is anything, then disciple will just open it up and say it. Why hide it?”
Old Man Pu glanced at Shen Shi and suddenly grinned. He pulled Shen Shi over and gently patted him on the head with his hand. He smiled and said, “Brat, you’re really smart.”
Shen Shi laughed and then said, “Then what do you plan to do about this matter, Master?”
Old Man Pu snorted and said, “Even though Old Man Sun is not a good person, his cultivation is at the Origin Core Realm. This is to make the old man shoulder an Origin Core Realm cultivator head on. Is there any benefit? Tell me about it first.”
Shen Shi shook his head and said, “It’s not good.”
Old Man Pu was furious. He patted the back of his chair and said angrily, “Bastard, if it wasn’t good, would you still have the nerve to let me go?”
Shen Shi thought for a moment, and then he probed, “Does that Elder Sun count as disgusting?”
Old Man Pu frowned and said, “What should I say?”
Shen Shi said, “The examination arranged by Elder Sun for his descendant’s grandson was originally a joke. Everyone could tell that it was just a formality.” Master, if you interfere, there are only two results. First, Elder Sun criticized this matter in the past, but in the end, Elder Sun did not dump you. It was certain that he would get angry and irritated in the middle, which could be considered disgusting to him. Secondly, Master, you are so skilled that you actually ruined this exam. If Sun Heng cannot become a teacher, then the second person in the younger generation of the Sun Family, Sun You, may have a chance of ascending to the top. In this way, the two houses within the Sun Clan would definitely be at odds with each other. There would probably be a lot of battles in the future, so Elder Sun would surely have an abnormal headache. This would greatly disgust him. ”
At the end of his sentence, Shen Shi pursed his lips and nodded his head as if he was drawing a conclusion. “Oh, it’s just that Elder Sun will definitely be disgusted anyway, so whether or not you do it depends on how Master sees Elder Sun Ming Yang.”
Old Man Pu glared at Shen Shi and said, “Brat, why are you so bad? Does that old man Sun Ming Yang have a grudge against you?”
Shen Shi shook his head and said, “There is no hatred. Moreover, compared to his old man, disciple’s cultivation level is truly different. How can we talk about any hatred?”
Old Man Pu smiled and said, “Then why do you want to help that Sun You?”
Shen Shi said indifferently, “First of all, Sun You is my friend. I really want to help him have a better future.” Secondly, Elder Sun is someone who deliberately made things difficult for us when Master accepted me as his disciple. It doesn’t matter to you, old man. I went to the bottom of the sea to get half-dead and almost died. “I can’t say that we have a grudge, but if the two of us are talking in private here, can I secretly look at him and find him unpleasing to the eye?”
Old Man Pu clapped his hands and laughed heartily. He pointed at Shen Shi and smiled, “You brat … Hahaha, not bad, not bad!”
Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying a word.

Liuyun City, Zhong Clan Mansion.
The Lingxiao Sect Clan’s four most famous vassal families in Floating Cloud City had already been destroyed, and their businesses had been divided up by other aristocratic families. It was needless to say that their former glory had been blown away by the winds of glory. As for the remaining three great families, the Sun Family had Patriarch Sun Ming Yang above them, and his momentum was unparalleled for a time. The Xu Clan seemed to be keeping a low profile, but the clan rules were solemn and heavy, and there were many strange people and geniuses under their command. Their hidden strength could not be underestimated, and they could faintly contend against the Sun Clan.
In contrast, the situation of the last Zhong Clan was much worse. The word’fall in the family dao ‘had already been planted on the Zhong Clan’s head many years ago. Only then did the family business shrink. It was until now that two daughters from the Zhong Clan had suddenly become popular in the Lingxiao Sect. Only then did they show some improvement.
However, the hopes of a large aristocratic family had all fallen on the two young girls. One could imagine the Zhong Clan’s current predicament. Furthermore, after all, Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu were only ordinary disciples of the Origin Condensation Realm. Even though they might have extraordinary talent and promising future prospects, there were many geniuses and heroes in the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World. However, over a long period of time, there were so few people who could truly obtain one out of ten thousand young trees.
His temperament, circumstances, opportunities, diligence, and even luck were all extremely difficult to become a high and mighty figure on the summit of all living beings. Thus, although there were the two daughters of the Zhong Clan, there weren’t many people in Floating Cloud City who were optimistic about the Zhong Clan right now.
Although the Zhong Clan had been in decline for many years, their skinny camels were bigger than horses, and they still had some property. For example, the Zhong Clan’s ancestral mansion was very large and dignified. It was one of the most decent mansions in Floating Cloud City. However, the world had changed, and the glory of that day had long since disappeared. Many parts of the Zhong Clan’s mansion had also revealed a shabby appearance, from inside to outside.
In a secluded place in the backyard of the mansion, there was a small two-storey building. There was also a wall around it, enclosing a small garden. It looked beautiful and quiet. It was a good place to live.
This was where Zhong Qingzhu’s mother lived in the Zhong Clan. Every time Zhong Qingzhu came back to visit her mother, she would always stay here. However, on this day, Zhong Qingzhu’s mother, Liu shi, was a little worried about her daughter. After Zhong Qingzhu returned two days ago, she broke the habit of staying here for at most half a day. She stayed here for a few days and still had no intention of leaving.
Over the past few days, Zhong Qingzhu did not have much of an abnormal expression in front of Mrs. Liu. He also chatted about everyday trivial matters, It was as if mother and daughter usually talked to each other, But beyond that, Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, saw her daughter sitting on the side with a cold expression. She was dazed and did not know what was on her mind. However, when she looked around, she felt that there was always a gloomy and gloomy aura in her daughter’s delicate brows. She could not get rid of it, and even her normally clear gaze seemed to have dimmed a lot.
Sitting in a small building, leaning against the window and looking into the distance, the garden flower path lingered alone.
These were perhaps the three things that Zhong Qingzhu had done at home in the past few days.
Mrs. Liu gradually became worried. She was originally a mortal, and her temperament was weak. Back then, she had brought Zhong Qingzhu to the Zhong Clan. She was only a lowly cook and had no status. However, in the future, Zhong Qingzhu would shine with brilliance and flourish in the Ling Xiao Sect, which allowed her to live a good life. However, in her heart, Qing Zhu was still her beloved daughter who needed to be cared for.
So on this day, when she saw Zhong Qingzhu sitting alone in front of the window on the second floor for an hour without saying a word, she finally couldn’t help but go upstairs and ask her. However, just as she was about to go upstairs, she suddenly heard a voice from outside the garden gate, saying,
“Sister-in-law, are you home?”
Hearing that voice, it was the Zhong Clan’s Clan Master, Zhong Liancheng, who had come here.
