Killing God - Chapter 373

Chapter 373 Breathing
Beside the ancient teleportation array, many disciples of the Soaring Firmament Sect were silent. After a while, a voice suddenly came from the crowd. However, someone asked loudly,

“Elder Sun, since none of you can enter Black Crow Ridge, what if someone secretly snatches the spirit materials during the trial?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately stirred up. Apparently, there were almost no stupid disciples who could cultivate in Lingxiao Sect. Many people had already thought of this important place. Since it was impossible for Elder Lingxiao Sect to enter Black Crow Ridge within 15 days, it was equivalent to a situation where everyone was helpless. In this kind of environment, it was clear that the higher the cultivation level, the more advantageous the cultivators would be. Furthermore, without restraint, it seemed to be faster and more convenient to plunder the spiritual materials of weak people than to fight with ferocious demonic beasts and search for rare high-grade spiritual herbs in the mountains and fields.

Sun Ming Yang’s expression did not change at all. He seemed to have expected such a problem long ago. He said calmly without changing his expression, “I repeat, within fifteen days, apart from not harming people’s lives, no matter what happens in Black Crow Ridge, as long as there are many spirit materials on us, we will calculate everything else.”

The crowd of Ling Xiao Sect disciples was completely silent. After a while, Sun Ming Yang saw that the crowd had probably calmed down a little. “Have you forgotten that the situation in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm is only ten times harsher than it is now? If you can’t even cope with this difficulty, I don’t think you need to go to the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm anymore. Otherwise, you will die in the Secret Realm in a daze. Why bother cultivating for half your life?”

In the crowd, Shen Shi slowly nodded. Although he wasn’t very close to Elder Sun Ming Yang, he agreed with Elder Sun’s words. At the moment, in the Hundred Mountain Realm, Lingxiao Sect would at least restrict people from dying. Furthermore, according to what he said just now, if he felt that he couldn’t hold on, he should be able to withdraw early. However, when he went to Wentian Secret Realm in the future, he would not be so relaxed. Firstly, he had to stay in the secret realm for an entire month. When he was searching for opportunities, it was actually not simple for him to persist in living in the secret realm.

Similarly, the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm had severed its internal and external connections. In addition to its vast territory, all the disciples didn’t know where they would be. When the time came, it was common for any accident to occur in a secluded corner, and they would perish inexplicably.

Sun Ming Yang’s gaze was like lightning as he swept across the crowd. He saw that no one among the disciples had spoken out to ask any more questions. He nodded in satisfaction and turned to Sun Hong, who was standing beside him, saying, “Let’s begin.”

Sun Hong nodded in agreement. Soon after, more than a dozen high-level Divine Concept disciples led by him stepped forward one after another and led the several hundred Origin Condensation Realm disciples to the city gate.

The Black Crow Ridge was four hundred kilometers away from Lingxiao Sect. It wasn’t far, but it wasn’t close. Therefore, at the city gate, Lingxiao Sect had arranged a floating immortal boat. This was also a rare magic treasure and spirit artifact. It was extremely rare. In the world, perhaps only a large sect like the Four Great Families could own it.

Everyone boarded the Immortal Boat one after another, and then they saw that the Sky Soaring Immortal Boat’s entire body was dazzling with spirit light, slowly floating up, and it was actually extremely stable. Then, he turned the bow of the ship in midair and flew away in an instant.

On the flying ship, Shen Shi leaned against the side of the ship and looked down. He saw that riding on the floating immortal boat and the sea crossing immortal boat was completely different. The huge Ling Xiao City quickly turned into a small black dot beneath him, and the rolling mountain range constantly appeared in front of him.

There were mountain ranges everywhere. Looking around, there was practically no flat land where one could see it. Presumably, the name of the Hundred Mountains Realm came from this. After looking for a while, Shen Shi withdrew his gaze. However, he saw that Sun You’s expression seemed to be somewhat solemn. He frowned slightly and did not pay attention to the scenery outside the ship. Instead, he silently looked at the other side of the deck.

Shen Shi followed his gaze. A moment later, his brows furrowed.

On a corner of the deck, He Xiaomei and Sun Heng were standing there. Seeing that He Xiaomei’s expression was slightly better than before, her expression was still not very good, as if she was feeling a little depressed. On the other hand, Sun Heng’s expression was somewhat different from usual. He, who had always been proud of himself, was standing beside He Xiaomei with concern in his eyes. Although He Xiaomei looked ordinary to him and even seemed absent-minded, Sun Heng seemed to want to make her happy, so he had been whispering something to her.

It was just that a direct descendant of an aristocratic family like him had always been used to being rich and arrogant. Only others had ever flattered him. When had it been his turn to flatter others? Therefore, Shen Shi watched from the side for a while. He soon discovered that this Sun Clan’s eldest young master seemed to be somewhat slow in currying favor with girls. It could even be said that he was somewhat clumsy. However, Sun Heng did not know why, but his gaze towards He Xiaomei was always very gentle. He had always insisted on speaking to her, not feeling embarrassed.

Perhaps it was because of his hard work that he had achieved some results. He Xiaomei listened and looked up at Sun Heng’s appearance. She suddenly shook her head and smiled helplessly. However, with this laughter, her expression became much more relaxed.

Sun Heng looked at it and suddenly became happy. Both of them looked much more relaxed, but they didn’t notice anything from them. On the contrary, because of the angle they were standing at, Shen Shi and Sun You saw Jiang Hongguang staring at the two of them from behind them. Jiang Hongguang’s face was ashen and his eyes were about to spit fire.

Shen Shi slowly withdrew his gaze. It seemed that Young Friend Sun, who was beside him, had also sensed something. At the same time, he turned around.

The two of them exchanged glances and leaned against the ship’s side to look out. From time to time, there were a few mournful roars of unknown demonic beasts coming from the mountains and steep scenery. It made one’s hair stand on end.

Shen Shi whispered, “You saw it too?”

Young friend Sun nodded and said, “Yes, I saw it.”

Shen Shi said, “Should we go over and tell them?”

After a moment of silence, Sun You said, “Jiang Hongguang hasn’t done anything yet. We can’t just rely on conjecture to identify him. Furthermore …” He paused for a moment and looked at him with a self-deprecating bitter smile. “Let’s stay out of this,” he said.

Shen Shi glanced at him and said after a while, “Alright.”

After saying that, the two of them did not say anything for a long time. Seeing that, Young Friend Sun’s mood was somewhat depressed. After a while, he greeted Shen Shi and walked to the side casually.

Shen Shi looked at the back of his good friend and sighed in his heart. He thought that although he had been prosperous since childhood and his starting point was much higher than that of ordinary people, there was actually no peace in aristocratic families. There were always many troubles that were inseparable from each other. In contrast, Shen Shi naturally thought of the Xu Clan, which was also a famous clan in Liuyun City’s vassal world. The atmosphere of the Xu Clan’s family style seemed to be more comfortable, and he did not see any internal strife.

Of course, perhaps he didn’t have much in-depth contact with the Xu Clan, and he didn’t know about some things so clearly. But when he thought of this, he quickly thought of Ling Chunnie, who was still temporarily staying in the Xu Clan. He couldn’t help but miss her for a moment, and he didn’t know if she was well now.

After the Hundred Mountain Realm Trial is completed, we still need to go to Liuyun City as soon as possible to take a good look at her.

As his mind was spinning, Shen Shi suddenly heard a burst of commotion and cheers from the group of Lingxiao Sect disciples in front of him. His heart stirred as he peeked out of the ship and saw that the speed of the enormous floating immortal boat had suddenly slowed down, and then it slowly descended from the sky.

In front of them was a vast mountain range that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. A wisp of black that seemed to be distinctly different from the surrounding mountain ranges appeared before their eyes.

Black Crow Ridge.

Looking at the black mountain range, Shen Shi narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

④

A gentle, light, and long breath sounded in the somewhat dim room. The tightly shut doors and windows of the room seemed to isolate the outside world from this place.

Under Furong’s tent, Ling Chunni was sleeping in the soft mattress room.

The sky was already bright, However, she was still greedy for the warmth of the bed-curtain room. She felt sleepy all the time, especially when the man she was worried about was not around. She felt extremely fragile and sleepy. Even if she was awake for a moment, she was still unwilling to open her eyes. She curled up in the warm blanket with a sweet smile on her face.

In her dreams, she would sometimes see him.

Sometimes together.

His gentle gaze never left her body when he was dreaming, as if she was the only one in this world. Ling Chunni really liked that feeling. Although she sometimes felt that it was a bit strange and funny, she still liked it very much. She was reluctant to wake up from this dream.

So she continued to sleep, consciously or unconsciously, with her gentle arms around the soft pillow as if she were hugging his body. Under her thin clothes, between her plump snow-white skin, a black crystal was lying on her white chest, but it was slowly emitting a black and strange light.

There seemed to be some silver light in the black light. It was like the stars in the dark sky, flickering endlessly bit by bit. Gradually, the flickering frequency seemed to be somewhat similar to Ling Chunni’s breathing. It was as if the black crystal was also breathing quietly like her, like a human being.

Perhaps there was still a slight difference. Ling Chunni was sleeping peacefully, while the black crystal’s flickering light seemed to be trying to wake up from a dream.

Silver light flashed on her chest, echoing, flashing, flashing …
