Killing God - Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Plead For Mercy
After Shen Shi left Red Clam Village, he found a secluded forest on his way back to Qingyu Fair. Seeing that there was no one left and right, he drilled into the forest and spread out his clothes to hang on the treetops in the forest. Although the island was wet, the sea breeze never stopped. Even at the edge of the forest, there was wind. After hanging in the air for a while, it quickly dried up.

Shen Shi shook these clothes a few times and put them back on. He immediately felt relaxed. Although he had been slaughtering shrimp and peeling shrimp in Red Clam Village for a day, there was still a scene of him almost drowning in the sea. Even now, he was still a little tired, but his spirit was not bad.

Walking out of the forest, he strode back. This path leading from the Green Fish Market to the Red Clam Village did not have any other forks, so after the youths who were heading to the Red Clam Village left, the road instantly became deserted. At this moment when the setting sun was about to set, only Shen Shi was left.

It was bustling with excitement when they arrived, but when they returned, they were lonely and lonely. The difference between the scene before and after was really quite big. However, it seemed that Shen Shi did not take it seriously as he walked along the road with light footsteps. When they walked back to Qingyu Fair, they saw that the sun in the western horizon seemed to be closer to the distant horizon, reflecting a brilliant sunset. At the same time, the sun reflected on the boundless sea, dyeing a large area of the sea red.

At this point in time, and no longer the bustle of the day, Many disciples of the High Firmament Sect seemed to have returned to their caves. Even the somewhat obstructive shops on both sides of the road were closed. It was as if everyone on Bluefish Island was accustomed to resting early. It was completely different from the bright lights in the bustling cities in the mortal world, even when it was dark.

Shen Shi originally wanted to find two shops to take a look, but then he thought that the days ahead were still long, so he wasn’t in a hurry for a moment. Seeing that the green fish were gathered in a cold place, he didn’t stay any longer. He directly walked back on the way and headed towards his seaside cave in White Fish Bay.

As he stepped out of the cold Qingyu Fair, he was wondering if Sun You, He Xiaomei, and Jiang Hongguang had found any suitable missions after leaving Red Clam Village.

When Shen Shi walked along the flat and wide seaside road back to the quiet and beautiful Whitefish Bay, the sky gradually darkened. The sun was shining on the bay, and waves gently surged on the calm sea surface. Waves of gentle hands that looked like lovers stroked the pure white sand beach.

At dusk, But to Shen Shi’s surprise, He had thought that this should be a quiet and lonely place, At this moment, it seemed to be much livelier than Qingyu Fair. Many rookies and disciples living in this bay came out of their caves and played on this long and beautiful beach. The afterglow of the sun fell on every young man and woman, revealing their happy smiles.

After all, the people who came here were still teenagers.

Running on the beach or jumping into the sea, countless white waves splashed out, splashing a few clothes and skirts wet. Laughter floated in the sea breeze, adding some extra vitality to the evening.

Shen Shi didn’t want to go back to the cave immediately. Instead, he walked to the edge of the beach and casually found a stone to sit on. He stared at the lively beach and quietly looked at the setting sun that was about to set in the depths of the ocean in the distance.

The sea breeze blew his hair, as if the exhaustion of a day had dissipated in the fresh wind at this moment.

The sound of footsteps suddenly reminded him of two figures walking past him. One of them suddenly turned around and looked at him. Shen Shi looked up. It was Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu. Zhong Qinglu walked in front of her with an unyielding attitude. She was holding a small bag in her hand and occasionally took out some snacks to eat. Her slightly plump cheeks were slightly flushed. It looked more pleasing to the eye than during the day. As for Zhong Qingzhu, she was still cautious and carefully followed behind her cousin.

Zhong Qinglu clearly recognized Shen Shi, and her gaze was not too friendly. However, the person who offended her the most in the day was still Sun You. Shen Shi was innocent, so it seemed that Miss Zhong did not intend to specifically target Shen Shi. She only glared at him fiercely, then shook her head like a proud little peacock and left. Zhong Qingzhu smiled apologetically at Shen Shi behind her and hurriedly followed.

Shen Shi rubbed the space between his eyebrows and shook his head with a bitter smile.

When the last glow of the setting sun finally dissipated as the sun sank into the sea, It was finally nightfall in White Fish Bay. Many youths left the beach and returned to their caves. Very quickly, peace returned to this beach. Only the sound of waves and tides surging in the darkness was left. Under the wind of the sea at night, they seemed to recall it endlessly.

Shen Shi also returned to his “Armor 41” cave. After opening the stone door with the Cloud Talisman, he thought that it would be pitch black. However, after he closed the stone door, four rays of light suddenly lit up from the stone wall at the top of the cave. They were as gentle as stars at night, sprinkling into the cave and instantly lit up the hall.

This shocked Shen Shi. Last night, when he was resting here, there wasn’t such an abnormal situation. He immediately walked to the cave and looked up. However, there were four fist-sized pearls on the solid stone wall. The light was emitted from these pearls. There was also a palm-sized Eight Trigrams Jade Disk on the stone wall in the middle of the four pearls. With the brilliance of the bright pearl, one could faintly see clouds rotating above.

Shen Shi suddenly remembered that when he entered the door, the Eight Trigrams Lock on the stone door. After pondering for a moment, he took out the Cloud Talisman on his body and tried to wave it towards the Eight Trigrams Jade Disk on the stone wall above his head. Sure enough, after a while, the clouds circulated and the Eight Trigrams Jade Disk reacted. The four bright pearls immediately darkened and the cave fell into darkness.

After a while, Shen Shi waved his hand again and the pearl light lit up again.

Could this be considered a miraculous cave art that had only just opened today? Shen Shi raised his head and looked at the miraculous pearl, his heart filled with admiration. With these four pearls, it would be much more convenient. At the very least, there was no need to light a candle at night to read a book.

However … Shen Shi slowly sat down at the table. His joy subsided slightly, but his brows furrowed slightly. Why didn’t this restriction be released yesterday? Why was it that it was a day too late?

Qingyu Fair, Xuan Ritang.

Wang Gen sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and looked at Kang Chen, who was also sitting not far from him. His expression was not good and his face was as heavy as water. Kang Chen, on the other hand, had a guilty look on his face. He smiled dryly and didn’t dare to speak. The gazes he cast at Wang Gen were also dodging and unwilling to look straight at Wang Gen.

“Hmph” Wang Gen coldly snorted and stopped staring at Kang Chen’s handsome face. He casually went to the coffee table beside him to pour some tea. Kang Chen suddenly jumped up and rushed to the coffee table. He poured a cup of water like a dog leg and handed it to Wang Gen. He smiled apologetically and said, “Senior Brother, drink some tea.”

Wang Gen curled his lips and received it with an unhappy expression. After taking a sip, he sneered and said, “Say, what’s going on with all the Starlight Pearls in White Fish Bay?”

Kang Chen laughed dryly and said, “Senior Brother, I, I’ve forgotten to open the restriction …”

“Bah!” Wang Gen looked at him in disbelief and said, “You are much more noble, so it’s true that you have more ghosts in your heart!”

Kang Chen rubbed his hands. He secretly raised his eyes to look at Wang Gen, Seeing his cold expression, Coupled with his formerly tall aura, Chen Xiong’s might could be said to be calm and mighty. Kang Chen was usually afraid that Senior Brother Wang would not be able to dodge it. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave an honest explanation. “I’m going to find Senior Sister Gan and beg her to ask Senior Uncle Yunni to come out and plead for favor for Senior Brother Du. That’s why she delayed the matter in Qingyu Island.”

Wang Gen lowered his gaze and looked at the teacup in his hand. The hand holding the teacup tightened slightly without anyone knowing.

A moment later, he frowned and said, “It’s just you.”

Kang Chen smiled apologetically and said, “Senior Brother, I’m worried that Senior Brother Du will be locked up in the ‘Black Cloud Cave’. It will take too long for Yin Qi to invade my body. It won’t be good if my dao will be ruined.”

Wang Gen snorted and said, “Only you are a kind person. Other people like me are heartless and heartless people who don’t care about Senior Brother Du?”

Kang Chen immediately shook his head like a drum and said, “Senior Brother, what are you saying? I absolutely have no such intention!”

Wang Gen sneered and said indifferently, “Since you care so much about Senior Brother Du, what’s the result of begging Martial Uncle Yunni today?”

Kang Chen paused for a moment. His eyes seemed to be rolling as if he was about to organize his words when he heard Wang Gen directly say, “If I’m not wrong, does Martial Uncle Yunni not want to see you at all and directly chased you back from outside the Tianmi Cave?”

Kang Chen was dumbfounded and looked up at Wang Gen. Although he didn’t say anything, a surprised expression on his face clearly explained everything. Wang Gen shook his head, as if he was too lazy to talk to a fool. Kang Chen suddenly jumped up and leaned behind Wang Gen. He put his hands together and began to knead Wang Gen’s shoulders. He smiled and said, “Senior Brother, senior Brother, you have such a brilliant plan. Everything seems like you’ve seen it for yourself. Why don’t you …”

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Gen hurriedly waved his hand and knocked off both of his hands, angrily saying, “They are all men. Don’t be so disgusting.”

Kang Chen laughed heartily. He didn’t think much of it and only said, “Senior Brother, how did you know that Martial Uncle Yunni wouldn’t help?”

Wang Gen glanced at him and said, “Martial Uncle Yunni’s status in our sect is indeed different. Several elders, including Sect Leader Huaiyuan, will give her three points. But don’t forget, apart from offending Elder Sun, Senior Brother Du has scolded Martial Uncle and Ancestor a few times.”

Kang Chen’s body trembled. He looked at Wang Gen and frowned, “Senior Brother, are you saying that even Martial Uncle Yunni doesn’t want to cause trouble this time?”

Wang Gen said indifferently, “We both know the position of Martial Uncle and Ancestor in the sect. As the only ancestor who broke through the Origin Core Realm and reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm in hundreds of years, we also helped turn the tide during the Mysterious Turtle Rebellion 30 years ago, suppressed the evil spirits, and opposed the Sect Master …” He suddenly paused for a moment and did not continue. Instead, he took a deep look at Kang Chen. Kang Chen’s expression also changed slightly and he slowly nodded.

After a while, Wang Gen’s voice sounded again, “Although Martial Uncle is in secluded meditation and doesn’t ask about anything in the sect, his reputation is so high that he doesn’t think about it as a second person. Even someone like Martial Uncle Yunni is unwilling to interfere in matters related to this ancestor, let alone Senior Brother Du cursing Martial Uncle for some reason?” Senior Brother Du is usually loved by the Sect Master, and he is his most proud disciple. Why did he attack so heavily this time? Have you never thought of the reason for that? ”

Kang Chen’s expression was blank. After a while, he lowered his head and said dejectedly, “So Senior Brother Du is hopeless?”

Wang Gen slowly picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip. There was no expression on his face, but after a while, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He seemed to sigh lightly and said, “There is actually a way.”

Kang Chen jumped up, his face filled with joy. Wang Gen glared at him, and Kang Chen immediately shrank his head. However, the expectation in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Wang Gen shook his head as his gaze swept past the teacup in front of him. After a moment of silence, he gently placed it on the coffee table.

Under the slight light, one could vaguely see a thin crack on the warm porcelain edge of the teacup base.
