Killing God - Chapter 400
Chapter 400 Handwriting
He took out the same spirit materials and placed them in front of Wang Gen. Regardless of whether it was the spirit herbs or the body of the demonic beast, there was a unique aura from the Black Crow Ridge. However, apart from the few spiritual herbs, the demonic beast shells that Zhong Qingzhu was constantly taking out were almost all broken pieces of flesh and blood.
Wang Gen frowned slightly and looked at Zhong Qingzhu inadvertently. The spirit materials she took out were almost all from the body parts of high-grade demonic beasts. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed to be extremely similar to the pile of spirit materials in front of Shen Shi, who was not far from her.
If one looked closely, one or two of their flesh and blood spirit materials were extremely similar, very similar to something that came from the same Fourth Grade demonic beast. At the last moment, Zhong Qingzhu also took out two round and bright Demonic Beast inner pills from his Ruyi bag and gently placed them on top of the pile of spirit materials.
Wang Gen’s face twitched slightly.
It was hard to believe that these two piles of spirit materials had nothing to do with each other.
Wang Gen was silent for a moment. He seemed to ponder for a moment, and then he quickly regained his calm. He smiled at Zhong Qingzhu, and then everything started to clear the things on Qingzhu as usual. After a moment, Wang Gen nodded and said to Zhong Qingzhu, “Junior Sister Zhong’s harvest is quite good. As expected of Elder Le’s proud disciple, it seems that this time it is the top five.”
Zhong Qingzhu looked at Wang Gen with her bright eyes and lowered her head gently, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Wang Gen nodded. He took out the register and entered it clearly. He then called the other Divine Concept disciples to verify it according to the rules, so as to prevent anyone from making mistakes or falsifying it. Only after everything was done did he tell Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu,
“Alright, you guys go back and rest first.”
“Yes.”
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu agreed, then turned around and left. There was a place to rest in the camp. However, the male and female disciples were naturally separated. Shen Shi bid farewell to Zhong Qingzhu. However, before they left, Zhong Qingzhu suddenly stopped him.
“Stone …”
Shen Shi turned around and looked at Zhong Qingzhu.
Zhong Qingzhu seemed to want to say something, but her lips trembled a few times, but she wanted to say nothing. A trace of gloom flashed through the depths of her eyes. After a moment, she whispered, “How is your injury?”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “Didn’t we walk back together? You also saw that I ate three Golden Tiger Pills alone. I’m almost fine now. As long as I return to the mountain and rest for a while, I think I should be fine.”
Zhong Qingzhu let out a “Oh” sound and slowly lowered her head. She pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else. She turned around and slowly walked forward. For some reason, Shen Shi felt somewhat sad as he watched her walk away and get farther and farther away from him. It was as if he suddenly felt a sudden impulse. He suddenly shouted at Zhong Qingzhu and said,
“Ah, Qingzhu.”
Zhong Qingzhu paused and turned to look at him.
Shen Shi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “Do you remember what you promised me earlier? Come to the Hundred Mountains Realm to explore again?”
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned. She took a deep look at Shen Shi. Gradually, there seemed to be a ray of light in her eyes that suddenly brightened. On her beautiful face, a faint smile flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Moments later, she seemed to be suddenly happy. She smiled and focused, throwing away all the haze. Even her smile became warm.
“Alright!” She smiled and clenched her hands.
“I will definitely accompany you!”

Liuyun City, Immortal Society.
In the bustling streets of the South Treasure Square, the branch building of the Divine Immortal Society was like the most dazzling gem in the bustling city. It opened its doors and welcomed the countless cultivators coming and going. On the other side, there were also vast amounts of spirit crystal treasures and cultivation resources of various spirit materials that were constantly being transferred in the hands of countless people, like an invisible river surging endlessly.
Gu Lingyun, this gorgeous, mature, calm and composed woman, was the ruler of this extremely prosperous shop.
Every day, at a fixed time, she would come out to patrol the shops, looking at her territory like a queen. Whenever the bustling scene of countless people appeared in her eyes, Gu Lingyun felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of her heart.
It was a very strange feeling. She had never told anyone about it, and of course no one else knew about it. Only a certain part of her heart would whisper to herself that it was the taste of power.
As the head shopkeeper of a branch of the Divine Immortal Society, this seemingly ordinary identity, perhaps only those in the bureau would know what kind of power was attached to this title. Power would cause fear in people’s hearts, and power would cause respect and courtesy. For example, Master Wu, the bald old man behind her, was still very cautious when he looked at Gu Lingyun, who was much younger than him.
The two of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, as if they were the two most ordinary cultivators. They passed through the shop hall of the Divine Immortal Society and looked at the bustling scene with satisfaction. When they reached the stairs, Master Wu took a step closer and whispered,
“Shopkeeper Gu, since yesterday, the Xu Clan has been attacking all the forces of the Beast Alliance in the city.”
Gu Lingyun’s footsteps paused slightly. Obviously, he was also slightly surprised by this news. After pondering for a moment, he said, “So fast? I thought they might have to wait for another half a month. However … the Beast Alliance is actually just like that. The Xu Clan will be fine if they really make a move. How is the situation outside?”
Master Wu smiled and said, “The Xu Clan should have been ready during this period of time. They should have used their decisive and ruthless methods. In just one day, they eliminated seventy to eighty experts from the Beast Alliance. The rest of them also scattered and fled for their lives, becoming a crushing force. After today, there will probably be no more Beast Alliance in Floating Cloud City.”
Gu Lingyun said indifferently, “Just extinguish it. Anyway, they’re all things that can’t get on the stage.” After taking two steps forward, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, “But how did the other aristocratic families in the city react? What does Lingxiao Sect mean?”
Master Wu shook his head and whispered, “Lingxiao Sect and the various aristocratic families in the city, including the Sun Family, which is the most influential in the city, didn’t have any reaction. It seems that the Xu Family had already greeted them beforehand.”
Gu Lingyun nodded and said, “Well, no matter what they say, they are all under the same sect. Forget it, don’t worry about it.”
Master Wu nodded in agreement. The two of them then walked up the stairs one after another. Along the way, they reached a tall building. The noise in the shop on the first floor gradually subsided and gradually quieted down. By the time they arrived at the large study room on the fourth floor where Gu Lingyun was dealing with daily affairs, the noise from below was almost inaudible.
Master Wu followed behind Gu Lingyun and continued to report various matters to her. Shortly after Gu Lingyun heard of it, he would directly make a judgment and explain how to deal with it. His expression had always been calm and unhurried, showing his extremely strong ability and confidence.
Gu Lingyun walked to the door of the study. Master Wu had just finished his words. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Gu Lingyun pushed open the door and smiled. “Master Wu, you’ve worked hard. Why don’t you come in and have a drink of tea?”
Master Wu smiled as he was about to decline, but when he inadvertently swept his gaze across the study room, his expression immediately changed. At the same time, Gu Lingyun raised his eyebrows and noticed something. He immediately turned around and looked into the room.
In the study room, behind the large desk, the black sandalwood chair that originally belonged to Gu Lingyun was sitting there, lowering its head to write.
Gu Lingyun and Master Wu’s expressions changed at the same time. This was the most important place in the branch of the Divine Immortal Association in Floating Cloud City. They were heavily guarded. Normally, even a fly would be difficult to fly in. They never expected that someone would barge in today.
Master Wu took a big step forward and stood in front of Gu Lingyun. He shouted in a deep voice, “Who are you? Why did you trespass on the important land of our Divine Immortal Association?”
The man behind the desk seemed to have turned a deaf ear to Master Wu’s harsh words and questions. He continued to write nonstop with his pen and paper. After a while, he waved his arm violently like a golden hook and iron scratch that had dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. His aura was astonishing. After a long laugh, he casually threw away the large sum of money and looked up.
This was a middle-aged man with an outstanding appearance. He was extremely angry and had a hidden immortal aura. Looking at him, his heart was broken. He stood with his hands behind his back, and he was even more outstanding. Beside the black sandalwood table, there was a green pole leaning against it. There was a white cloth hanging on it, and there seemed to be some words on it. It looked like the words “Immortal Guiding the Way”, and it looked like a Xiangshi walking in Jianghu.
Master Wu’s heart grew even angrier when he saw that this person was so arrogant. His expression sank, and he was about to teach this person a lesson. However, at this moment, a simple hand suddenly grabbed his arm from behind. It was Gu Lingyun.
Master Wu was stunned for a moment. He turned around with some confusion. Gu Lingyun shook his head slightly and said, “Don’t be rude.” After pausing for a moment, she glanced at the middle-aged Prime Minister and whispered, “This gentleman is a senior from the main hall of this association.”
Master Wu’s body trembled. When he turned to look at the middle-aged Xiangshi, his gaze was somewhat different. However, the middle-aged Xiangshi did not seem to care much about him. He only smiled at Gu Lingyun.
Gu Lingyun pondered for a moment before saying to Master Wu, “You can leave first.”
Master Wu was puzzled, but he didn’t dare to say anything else. He nodded and walked out. At the same time, he closed the door. After he walked out of the room, Gu Lingyun revealed a respectful expression. She quickly walked to the desk and bowed respectfully, saying,
“Lingyun greets Elder Zhou.”
The Prime Minister surnamed Zhou laughed and waved his hand, “There’s no need to be too polite.”
“Yes.” Gu Lingyun replied. Her face became more respectful as she smiled and was about to speak. However, her gaze inadvertently swept across the paper on the desk at this moment. She saw several large words on the large white paper. They were the words that Xiangshi Zhou had left behind with the slightest bit of ink. I didn’t look carefully before, but now I’m getting closer. The ink on the paper is criss-crossing, the strokes are vigorous, the strokes are different in weight, the strokes are floating like clouds, and the entanglement is like silk. It makes people feel …
Scrawling like a dog, miserable to see!
How could this word be written so unsightly!
Gu Lingyun’s smile stiffened. Just as he was stunned, he suddenly heard the Prime Minister surnamed Zhou beside him laugh. His expression was gentle as he pointed at the handwriting on the table and asked with a smile,
“Little Gu, come and take a look at my handwriting.”
