Killing God - Chapter 411

Chapter 411 Old Friendship

There was a moment of silence in Yunxiao Hall. Even with Daoist Huaiyuan’s self-restraint, he was caught off guard by Yuan Xiuyu’s sudden request. Yuan Xiuyu and Gong Xiaoshan clearly knew that this matter was no small matter. Therefore, they stood there respectfully and patiently, waiting without the slightest urging.

After a while, True Monk Huai Yuan slowly nodded his head and said, “I know about this matter. No wonder Cousin Feng sent you two over to inform me about this matter. Indeed … However, this matter is very important. I still need to discuss it with some other people in the sect before I can give you an answer.”

Yuan Xiuyu bowed and revealed a sincere expression. “Indeed, this should be the case. However, I’m sorry to take the liberty of telling you personally that the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm is only about a month away from opening after the mutation of the Mangu Mirage. Therefore, I beg the elders of the High Firmament Sect to make up their minds so as not to miss this rare opportunity.”

Daoist Huaiyuan nodded and said, “I understand. How about this, you stay on Golden Rainbow Mountain first. I will give you a letter within a day or two at the latest.”

Yuan Xiuyu and Gong Xiaoshan were overjoyed and said in unison, “Thank you for your understanding.”

Daoist Huaiyuan smiled and turned to Du Tiejian, who was standing beside him. “Tiejian, bring them down to settle down. The two martial nephews have come a long way. It’s been a long time to report the news. You can’t neglect them,” Daoist Huaiyuan said.

Du Tiejian laughed and said, “Master, don’t worry.”

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the two of them and smiled, “Guys, please follow me.”

Both Yuan Xiuyu and Gong Xiaoshan looked at him. Gong Xiaoshan’s beautiful face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Yuan Xiuyu’s expression did not change. He nodded with a smile and said, “Brother Tie Jian, this is troublesome.”

When Du Tiejian brought them down, the three Grand Daoist Primordial Core warriors of the Cloud Sky Sect looked at each other. After a while, Old Man Pu was the first to speak. He muttered, “What the hell is going on with the Primordial Wind Hall?”

Yun Ni glanced at the old man who didn’t hide anything, shook her head and looked at Daoist Huaiyuan. She frowned and said, “Senior Brother, what do you think?”

Daoist Huaiyuan pondered for a while and slowly said, “Daoist Fengtang of Yuanshi Sect is not an incompetent person. It seems impossible for him to conceal anything about this matter, so I’m afraid that the Primordial Mirage Pearl has really changed.”

Yun Ni said, “Should we go or not? The two Origin Sect disciples didn’t say anything about this change. I don’t think even they know what they mean. If they suddenly opened the secret realm half a day earlier, could it …” She paused silently and said, “Could there be any dangerous changes in the secret realm?”

Adept Huaiyuan fell silent again. This time, it was even longer than before. After a long while, he let out a sigh of relief and said, “Gather all the elders to discuss the matter. The time will be set for tomorrow morning in Cloud Sky Hall. Also, we need to inform Martial Uncle Huoye.”

When he said this, Yun Ni and Old Man Pu stopped talking and stood up to agree.

After leaving Yunxiao Temple with the two disciples of Yuanshi Sect, Du Tiejian led them down the stone path in the pine forest. As the palace gradually landed behind, the green shade of the pine forest blocked their view and the surroundings became quiet. Only their footsteps sounded softly in the forest. Yuan Xiuyu suddenly smiled warmly and said,

“I haven’t seen you for many years. Brother Tie Jian, you don’t seem to have changed at all.”

Du Tiejian chuckled. He looked at him and smiled, “What, do I look the same as before?”

“Yes.” Yuan Xiuyu smiled and said, “It’s exactly the same.”

Reading the card iron sword for some reason, he suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was hearty, as if he had thought of something happy. However, when he heard other people’s ears, it seemed to be somewhat ear-piercing.

Among the two of them, Gong Xiaoshan snorted. His expression was a little unhappy. On the contrary, Yuanshi Sect seemed to have some self-restraint and did not change his expression. He still looked at Du Tiejian with a gentle smile.

After laughing for a while, Du Tiejian pointed at Yuan Xiuyu and sighed, “You’ve changed a lot, kid. How did you become so refined? Back in Wentian Secret Realm, I remember that in order to snatch the Heaven Splitting Demon Sword, you rushed up and chopped at me randomly. You almost cut me into pieces and threw me into that secret realm.”

Gong Xiaofan’s expression suddenly turned cold. He frowned, but Yuan Xiuyu laughed. He shook his head and sighed, “Young and ignorant back then.”

“Oh!” Du Tiejian looked at him with great interest and smiled, “Young and senseless? Do you know that you shouldn’t fight me for treasures back then?”

Yuan Xiuyu smiled and casually brushed away a pine needle that had fallen from a large pine tree by his side. He was dignified and graceful. He smiled and said, “No, I hate my youth and ignorance. When I saw you so ruthlessly rushing over like a mad dog, I remembered that the two families were unwilling to fight each other to the death and retreat.” Now that I think about it, it’s really stupid … ”

Yuan Xiuyu revealed a look of regret as he sighed, “If I had known, I would have given you an arm that day. I would have cut off your feet first, then kicked you away and snatched away the Heaven Splitting Demon Sword.”

Gong Xiaoshan turned around in shock. Looking at Yuan Xiuyu, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face. It was as if she had never known what Yuan Xiuyu had said in the past. Today was the first time she had heard of it.

Du Tiejian stared at Yuan Xiuyu for a while. Yuan Xiuyu smiled slightly and his expression was calm, not avoiding his gaze. Du Tiejian looked at it for a long time and suddenly laughed. He suddenly walked over and stopped Yuan Xiuyu’s shoulder. He smiled and said, “So I told you, you’re not too bad. You’re still much better than your big brother, who is full of bad water.”

Yuan Xiuyu was suddenly hugged by him. Even if he had cultivated himself, he was still stunned for a moment. He looked a little uncomfortable. A moment later, he bitterly smiled and said, “Brother Tie Jian, this is …”

Du Tiejian chuckled and hugged his shoulder. “Let’s go. It’s rare for us to come here. We’ve known each other for many years. I’ll treat you to a drink.”

Yuan Xiuyu shook his head with a smile. He did not seem to have any intention of refusing. However, at this moment, Gong Xiaoshan, who was standing behind him, coughed. The two of them turned to look at each other at the same time. Du Tiejian scratched his head and laughed dryly, “Junior Sister Gong, uh, I remember that you don’t seem to like drinking, right?”

Gong Xiaoshan snorted and said, “Are you saying that if I don’t drink, you’re going to leave me here?”

Du Tiejian immediately shook his head. He seemed to be even more polite to this petite woman than Yuan Xiuyu. He smiled and said, “How could that be? Of course I have to settle you down first. Come on, let’s go to the guest room.”

Gong Xiaoshan curled her lips and looked at Yuan Xiuyu first. Seeing that he had no objection, she nodded. However, after taking two steps, the corner of her mouth moved and she suddenly said to Du Tiejian,

“Senior Brother Du, there’s something I want to ask you.”

Du Tiejian nodded and said, “Speak.”

Gong Xiaoshan took a deep breath. His calm and firm gaze seemed to have softened for a moment. His voice became gentler as he said, “May I ask how senior apprentice-brother Baili Jue, one of the disciples of your sect who entered the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm with you, is doing now?”

Du Tiejian’s footsteps suddenly stopped. He seemed to be shocked. Suddenly, an inexplicable and complicated expression appeared in his eyes. He looked at Gong Xiaoshan and said, “Baili shi … brother? Why did you suddenly ask him? Do you know him?”

After a moment of silence, Gong Xiaoshan said, “Back then, in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, I had several encounters with him. We barely had a friendship, right? It’s just that I haven’t seen him for many years. It seems that I haven’t heard anything about him in the High Firmament Sect these past few years. How is he recently?”

Du Tiejian frowned slightly. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Junior Brother Baili has a solitary personality and is also obsessed with cultivation. He is wholeheartedly searching for the Immortal Dao of Longevity and never cares about external affairs. For so many years, he has only been cultivating quietly in his cave. That’s why his reputation is fading away. I didn’t expect Junior Sister Gong to actually remember him.”

Gong Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment and said, “For so many years, has he only been cultivating autism and bitterness?”

Du Tiejian nodded and said, “That’s right, I haven’t seen him in years.” As he spoke, he turned around and smiled at Yuan Xiuyu, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you down. I’ll find a jar of good wine later. Let’s have a good drink. Let’s see if your alcohol tolerance has improved over the years.”

Yuan Xiuyu laughed loudly as he strolled forward. However, as he walked, the corner of his eyes inadvertently glanced at Gong Xiaoshan, who was following behind him. He saw that she was speechless at this moment, and a faint look of disappointment appeared from her eyes.

Art Hall, Five Elements Hall.

After finding Little Hei in the pine forest outside Yunxiao Hall, Shen Shi brought him all the way down the mountain. When he arrived at the viewing platform, most of the disciples who had gathered here had already dispersed. However, there were still many people discussing in front of the banner. Of course, everyone was most concerned about the eighty spots that were qualified to enter Wentian Secret Realm.

Amongst them, those who were direct disciples of the Origin Core Realm Elders would take up about 30% of the spots. Thus, as they walked along the viewing platform, Shen Shi really heard a lot of private discussions about this. However, Shen Shi naturally would not dwell on this matter. Firstly, it was because this was the sect’s rule. Secondly, although he himself was an elder disciple, he was ranked third in the Hundred Mountain Realm Trial. Naturally, he had a clear conscience. Even if others had crooked their mouths, they wouldn’t be able to say anything about him. Lastly, if one really cared about it, Shen Shi had also seen the list. In fact, most of the people who had been admitted to the Wentian Secret Realm in advance because of their status as direct disciples of the elders had entered the top 80.

Originally, if it weren’t for the outstanding talents that could be cultivated, what kind of characters were those Origin Core Realm True Cultivators? How could they really choose trash as their disciple?

Shen Shi smiled and left the rumors behind. He walked all the way to the Five Elements Hall of the Arts Hall. As usual, this place looked very quiet and quiet. However, Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi actually appeared here today. The moment she saw Shen Shi, she laughed out loud. Obviously, she also knew Shen Shi’s ranking and was very happy.

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, “Wait here. Master told you to come back later. I have something to do with you.”
