Killing God - Chapter 406
Chapter 406 Siblings
Jinhong Mountain, Yunxiao Palace.
This place was extremely high up in Jinhong Mountain and was where the Sect Leader, Daoist Huaiyuan, usually cultivated and handled some matters within the sect. Ordinary disciples rarely came here. However, Shen Shi was no stranger to Yunxiao Palace. Back then, when he had just escaped from the Demon Realm and was brought back to Jinhong Mountain by Du Tiejian, the first place he came to was Yunxiao Palace. In the main hall, he saw two people with the highest status in Lingxiao Sect.
One was Sect Leader Huaiyuan, and the other was Ancestor Huoye, who was also the strongest and most senior disciple of the sect.
Yunxiao Hall stood in the green pine forest. The stone paths in the forest were clean and tidy. Some fallen leaves were carefully swept by the roadside. Clearly, there were people cleaning them every day. Looking from afar, the palace revealed a corner of the eaves in the ancient forest, giving off a thick and unadorned aura from afar.
Along the way, Shen Shi walked over. He was originally alone, but it didn’t take long for someone to walk the same path. When those familiar figures met each other, they all smiled in their hearts.
Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu, and Gan Ze. Finally, there was a young woman that she didn’t know. She seemed to be a few years older than the Zhong Clan’s Shuang Shu, and her appearance was also pretty. She should be the fifth ranked Kang You Ling in this trial.
When he walked up to the high ground of Jinhong Mountain, the clamorous sounds on the viewing platform had already been gradually thrown behind him. The sea breeze and white clouds, the sky and the earth were vast, and the waves of pines and pines were bursts, making people feel as if they had entered the Immortal Realm. The surroundings became quiet. Occasionally, there would be sounds, all of them were birds in the forest and immortal birds flying through the sky.
Walking all the way to Cloud Sky Hall, he saw two figures standing on the stone steps outside the hall. They stood side by side with a relaxed expression, as if they were chatting while waiting for something. When they got closer, they saw that the two of them were Du Tiejian and Kang Chen, the two disciples under Daoist Huaiyuan.
The prestige and status of these two people in the sect could not be underestimated. Furthermore, their cultivation was at the Divine Concept, especially Du Tiejian, the eldest disciple of Adept Huaiyuan. For many years, he had faintly gained the prestige of being the number one person below the Origin Core realm in the sect. Not only was he ranked first among the three swords of Ling Xiao, he was also one of the most popular candidates for the next Sect Leader Adept.
Therefore, Shen Shi and the other five people hurriedly went forward to pay their respects. Du Tiejian and Kang Chen did not have arrogant expressions, and their expressions were gentle. They walked over and greeted them with a smile. Du Tiejian smiled and patted Shen Shi on the shoulder. He smiled and said, “You’re not bad, kid. You didn’t waste my trip back then.”
Shen Shi nodded and smiled, “Thank you Senior Brother Du for taking care of me.”
Du Tiejian laughed heartily and waved his hand, “This trial is all based on your own abilities. How can I take care of you? Not bad, not bad anyway.” As he spoke, Kang Chen walked over from the other side, but he arrived in front of the woman who had been silent all along the way.
Shen Shi, Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu, and Gan Ze said, Back then, they were all the same group of young disciples who entered Bluefish Island to cultivate, There was also a layer of simultaneous friendship between the two of them, so they were naturally much more harmonious. Needless to say, even Gan Ze had known Shen Shi since a long time ago. Moreover, Gan Ze seemed to have a different view of Shen Shi, so everyone talked happily along the way.
Only Kang You Ling, who had obtained the fifth place, found out afterwards that she should be one round earlier than Shen Shi and the others, that is, the last batch of rookies who were five years earlier. Normally, she did not seem to be very famous in the Ling Xiao Sect, but this time, she was shocking and squeezed into the top five. However, after such a layer of separation, it slowly revealed itself on the road. After the initial greetings, Shen Shi and the other four obviously had much more communication with each other, while Kang You Ling was basically silent.
At this moment, when they saw Kang Chen walk in front of Kang You Ling, the others looked over. Kang Chen smiled and nodded at the young female disciple. He smiled and said, “Good job, Little Ling.”
Kang Youling smiled and called out, “Brother.”
Shen Shi and the others were stunned. They didn’t expect that Kang You Ling was actually Kang Chen’s younger sister. This was something they hadn’t thought about beforehand. It was just that neither Kang Chen nor Kang You Ling had purposely publicized this matter, so it seemed that not many people knew about this relationship.
However, the relationship between Du Tiejian and Kang Chen was obviously different, including Kang You Ling. He laughed and walked over. His sturdy body stood beside Kang Chen and Kang You Ling and said with a smile, “Little Ling, you did well too.”
Kang You Ling’s figure was slender. She only saw that Du Tie Jian’s shoulder was a little taller. She raised her head and looked at Du Tie Jian. However, her expression was slightly more nervous than when she saw her brother. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her gaze even had a faint look of admiration and respect. She smiled lightly and said, “Big Brother Du.”
Du Tiejian smiled heartily and nodded to her. Then, he turned to the five young Origin Condensation Realm disciples and said, “According to the rules of the sect, the top five people who have obtained the highest harvest will be rewarded by the sect after the Hundred Mountain Realm Trials. Follow me into the hall one by one, and the Sect Master will be in the hall.”
This was the time to pay their respects to Zhong Qinglu. All five of them had expressions of joy on their faces. They agreed in unison. After that, the first to step out was naturally Zhong Qinglu, the first in the trial.
Du Tiejian smiled and nodded at her, signaling her to follow him alone. Then, he turned around and walked towards Yunxiao Hall, while Kang Chen was still standing on the same spot, with the remaining few people. However, in his heart, when his gaze swept over these people, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
No one could have imagined that after this trial, four of the top five disciples would be from this batch of new disciples. Thinking back to the past few years, there had always been rumors that this batch of new disciples were talented and claimed to be the strongest batch of new disciples in hundreds of years. It seemed that what they said was true. However, they didn’t expect that they would stand out so quickly!
He was deep in thought. After watching Du Tiejian lead Zhong Qinglu into Yunxiao Temple, he immediately turned around and pointed at Kang You Ling. Then, he smiled at Shen Shi and the others and said, “You heard her earlier. Her name is Kang You Ling. She is my only sister, and she is now a high-level Origin Condensation Realm Dao Cultivator.” It was five years earlier than you, so you can be considered your Senior Sister. “This time, everyone is in the top five. In the future, we can’t say that we should enter the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm at the same time. It can be considered fate. In the future, everyone should be closer and closer to each other.”
As soon as he spoke, With his status, Naturally, it was different, Shen Shi, Zhong Qingzhu, and Gan Ze agreed with a smile. Kang You Ling was not a stingy and shy person. The two sides instantly became much more harmonious. After a while, they talked and laughed again. It wasn’t that Shen Shi and Gan Ze were men. Instead, Zhong Qing Zhu and Kang You Ling gradually walked together and talked with each other with a smile.

After Zhong Qinglu and Du Tiejian entered Yunxiao Temple, they didn’t come out very quickly. However, the people outside the temple weren’t anxious. Everyone knew the rules for receiving the reward beforehand. The sect would give out a total of five treasures. The exact details were still unknown. I heard that they were all magic treasures, spirit artifacts, and even high-grade cultivation technique manuals. As the first person to enter, he could choose one of the five treasures, the second person could then choose one of the remaining four treasures, and so on.
Normally, these five treasures were directly selected by the sect leader from the sect’s treasury. No one else knew about them, and the sect leader would not reveal what these treasures were. In other words, Apart from the fact that the first prize winner was able to get a complete picture of the five treasures, The treasures known to the others were gradually decreasing, and the rules of the sect did not strictly regulate this reward. It was equivalent to saying that as long as these people kept their secrets, no one else would know what treasures they had obtained in this reward. It was almost like adding a trump card that outsiders did not know about.
Seeing Zhong Qingzhu and Kang Youling chatting happily not far away, Shen Shi’s gaze also turned around. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He swept his eyes around the ground and discovered that Xiao Hei, who had been following him earlier, had disappeared since he arrived outside the Cloud Sky Hall. He didn’t know where he had gone to play again. Outside the main hall, there were mostly ancient pine forests. The trees were lush and verdant. Most likely, they had run into the forest.
Shen Shi shook his head and ignored it. Anyway, Little Black already had intelligence and would not get lost. He would naturally return after a while. Besides, this was in the center of Lingxiao Sect, so there was no way anything dangerous would happen. Almost at the same time, Gan Ze walked to his side and smiled, “Shen Shi, you are very powerful this time.”
Shen Shi hurriedly smiled and said, “I was just lucky. Actually, I always thought that with your ability, you would be the one to win the title.”
Gan Ze smiled, but he was somewhat helpless. He said, “Sigh, there are countless heroes among our disciples. I don’t know why there is such a situation now. It seems that no matter what I do, I have to be first.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment. Soon, a hint of sympathy appeared on his face. He looked at him and said, “Well, I didn’t think about this matter carefully before. From the looks of it, you really aren’t feeling well.”
“Isn’t that so?” Gan Ze shrugged and smiled. However, he didn’t seem to care about it. He didn’t have the feeling of bitterness and enmity. His expression was calm, making people unconsciously feel that he really had a gentle bearing like jade. Afterwards, he turned around and looked at the hall. He lowered his voice and chuckled,
“But no matter how desperate we are, it seems like we can’t compare to the lucky ones. Don’t you think so?”
Shen Shi laughed and nodded. At this time, some things had been confirmed and spread. Lingxiao Sect had basically done a fair and open ranking for this ranking, and there were no mistakes. Especially the most important quota for entering Wentian Secret Realm, he was extremely cautious. Of all the candidates, the fact that the top five were able to receive additional rewards was naturally even more eye-catching.
In the end, Zhong Qinglu was the champion of the crowd, and the things she had obtained were also spread out, causing others to have no choice but to admire her.
