Killing God - Chapter 55

Chapter 55
The storm still had no intention of stopping. Dark clouds gathered in the sky and hung low. It looked like a ferocious beast roaring at the human world. The wind and rain filled the sky, causing stormy waves to sweep across the island of Immortal Mountain in the sea.

The Bluefish Six Islands were specially opened up by Lingxiao Sect for rookies, including former Qi Refining disciples, to settle down and cultivate. Normally, apart from a large number of Qi Refining disciples, there were also a large number of Ling Xiao Sect’s direct disciples stationed on the island. These direct disciples’ worst Dao Cultivators had also cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm. Among them, a few outstanding people had already cultivated to the Divine Concept Realm. Even within the Lingxiao Sect Sect, they were already people that could not be underestimated.

Amongst the many direct disciples, Wang Gen was naturally the most influential and ranked one of the “Three Swords of the High Firmament”. In fact, it was indeed Wang Gen who was entrusted with the important task of overseeing all the major and minor affairs on the six Bluefish Islands. Apart from Wang Gen, There were also many outstanding disciples of the Lingxiao Sect Sect on this Qingyu Island, Some of them assisted Wang Gen in dealing with all sorts of affairs, Some of them were assigned by the important halls under Lingxiao Sect to handle the rookies’ tasks, Others were appointed by the sect to guard some of the important places on the six islands with various purposes. However, at this moment, apart from a few important places that were truly inseparable from others, all the direct disciples on Qingyu Island had already been summoned by Wang Gen to Xuan Ri Hall in Qingyu Fair.

Apart from the direct disciples of the High Dao Gods, even the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm who had yet to break through in cultivation on the island were called over by the strong winds and heavy rain.

At this moment, the main hall of Xuan Ri Hall was already filled with people, and there were many personal disciples among them. This scene was extremely rare after Qingyu Island opened the island. Many Lingxiao Sect disciples that they normally knew but were separated from each other stood together in twos and threes. They looked around each other and whispered to each other.

At that main seat in front of the house, As the focus of everyone’s attention, Wang Gen’s expression was cold. His normally calm and mighty appearance today seemed to have a faint imposing aura. Many of the direct disciples were slightly shocked, not to mention the young disciples who weren’t at the Qi Refining Realm. In fact, Wang Gen had suddenly called these dozens of people over to Xuan Ri Hall. They still hadn’t figured out why.

Wang Gen was tall and sturdy, Standing there was naturally the focus of the crowd, His aura was imposing, At this moment, he was standing at a table that had been temporarily moved over. A large map was spread out on the table in front of him. It looked like a map of Qingyu Island’s location. At the same time, he waved his hand and called for people to come up. Normally, they were direct disciples of the Dao Walker above the Origin Condensation Realm. Then, he drew a range on the map and instructed them to search for people.

The personal disciples that were called all nodded their heads in agreement. Although the storm outside was raging, for them who were at the Origin Condensation Realm, as long as they didn’t really fall into the center of the storm that contained the legendary power of heaven and earth, the storms and waves in the outer regions wouldn’t pose much of a threat to them.

Apart from Wang Gen frowning coldly and carefully arranging everything, Zheng Zhe also stood beside him and occasionally warned his fellow disciples. Apart from that, there were two direct disciples standing beside them, but they didn’t say anything. Wang Gen didn’t pay any attention to their intentions and had them stand beside him from the beginning. It seemed that the expressions of these two disciples were very ugly.

Under Xuan Ri Hall, there were quite a few personal disciples who hadn’t yet been called over whispering and whispering to each other. One of them whispered, “Zhong Qingshan and Xu Baichuan of the Array Hall, what’s going on? They’ve been standing there all this time, and they look as if someone has died at home.”

Someone laughed coldly and said, “Nonsense, the person who lost this time is the new disciple of the Array Hall. Under Senior Brother Wang Gen’s fury, how can the two of them have good fruit to eat?”

The other Ling Xiao Sect disciple standing next to the two of them looked shorter, but he was the disciple surnamed Lin who made a mistake when he went to put up the storm notice. At this moment, he looked forward and clicked his tongue twice, saying, “It seems that they have been taught a good lesson by Senior Brother Wang Gen.”

“Lin Hu, didn’t you see Senior Brother Wang Gen this morning? Why is Senior Brother Wang so angry this time? And why did he create such a big battle? I think that most of the direct disciples on the island are called here to look for someone.” The first disciple in front of him shook his head and lowered his voice, “Lin Hu, didn’t you see Senior Brother Wang Gen this morning?”

Everyone else snorted and said, “Silly, don’t forget that in the past, it was all the eldest teachers and uncles in the sect who presided over the affairs of Qingyu Island. Only from this year onwards did the sect decide to let the outstanding disciples of our generation preside over the affairs of Qingyu Island.” “This is the first time I’ve made a mistake that I’ve never made before. If it was you, you wouldn’t be able to endure the fury!”

The person who spoke at the front suddenly came to a realization and nodded, “I see. I forgot about this.” After saying that, he seemed to have remembered something. He secretly glanced towards Wang Gen, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He whispered to the two people beside him, “Speaking of which, I still remember that a few days ago, several senior brothers and sisters of the sect had been fighting for this position for quite some time, right?”

Lin Hu chuckled with a hint of mockery on his face. “Who said no? I heard that all three of you, Ling Xiao’s Three Swords, are interested in this person. In addition, Senior Brother Sun Hongsun’s reputation is extremely high, let alone his family background. Not long ago, he was also very enthusiastic. In the end, he chose his personal disciple, Senior Brother Du.” “However, Senior Brother Wang Gen is lucky to have done such a wrong thing, but Senior Brother Du angered the Sect Leader, so this matter fell on Senior Brother Wang.”

The Lingxiao Sect disciple smiled and said, “who doesn ‘t know about it now, The Sect Leader valued his personality of doing practical things the most. In addition to his position of presiding over the affairs of Qingyu Island, if he had half-friendship with the outstanding junior brothers and sisters in the future, he would gain connections and fame. In addition, he would be the first to preside over major events in the younger generation. In the future, Senior Brother Wang’s status in the sect would definitely rise and no one would be able to stop him. But who would have thought that something like this would happen … ”

Lin Hu sneered. He was about to say something when Wang Gen suddenly shouted, “Lin Hu.”

Lin Hu’s body trembled, and his expression instantly changed to one of respect. He trotted to Wang Gen’s side with a cautious and respectful look. The two Lingxiao Sect disciples behind him were dumbfounded when they saw this. One of them said, “Obediently, Lin Hu’s face has become quite fast.”

Wang Gen didn’t waste any time talking to Lin Hu. He directly pointed out a beach on the map and told him to brave the wind and rain to immediately search. Lin Hu agreed. Wang Gen nodded and called for the next personal disciple. Lin Hu wanted to leave, but Zheng Zhe, who was standing beside him, caught him and carefully warned him.

With these instructions, Wang Gen dealt with them quickly and meticulously. Soon, all the personal disciples were arranged and sent out to search. A moment later, there were still dozens of people standing under the main hall of Xuan Ri Hall. They were practically all Qi Refining Realm disciples.

These people weren’t rookies who had just entered the island this year. They were old disciples who had entered the island to cultivate but hadn’t broken through yet. If one looked carefully, they would find disciples like Su He among them. It seemed that they were the same people that the Ling Xiao Sect had arranged for the rookies to be their senior apprentice-brothers when the rookies entered the island.

Wang Gen turned around and looked at the crowd. His expression was cold and his gaze was also stern. Everyone was actually intimidated by him and lowered their heads for a moment. No one dared to look at Wang Gen.

Wang Gen didn’t waste any words and directly said, “You are all senior brothers with supervisory responsibilities. Now go to the White Fish Bay newcomer’s cave and knock on the heads of the newcomers one by one. Investigate all the newcomers under your names. If anyone is missing, immediately come and report to me!”

At the end of his sentence, his tone was somewhat sharp.

Everyone hurriedly agreed, regardless of the heavy rain outside, they all rushed out and headed towards White Fish Bay.

In Xuan Ri Hall, everyone gradually dispersed. Including Zhong Qingshan and Xu Baichuan, who had been standing beside Wang Gen with gloomy faces, they also followed everyone out to search. At this moment, only Wang Gen and Zheng Zhe were left in the large room.

It was at this moment that Wang Gen’s expression relaxed a little, revealing a somewhat exhausted expression. He rubbed his eyebrows and sat down on the chair, but the deep anxiety on his face still lingered.

Zheng Zhe walked to his side and whispered, “Senior Brother, did you send someone to White Fish Bay for fear that other rookie disciples would also get lost besides Zhong Qingzhu?”

Wang Gen nodded and said, “I was negligent at the front. I only looked at the entrances of the hall, but I forgot that most of them were descendants of aristocratic families. Some of the rookies had no background or background, so they might not be able to receive good missions on the island. If they missed a few …” His expression darkened again.

Zheng Zhe didn’t know what to say. He hesitated for a moment and comforted, “Anyone who can enter the sect and cultivate will not be a fool. Ordinary people will return to the cave early to hide when they see such a storm. Senior Brother, don’t worry too much.”

“I’m not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.” Wang Gen slowly let out a sigh of relief. His mood was a little depressed. He suddenly patted the back of his chair and said hatefully, “That Lin Hu is really trash. He couldn’t even do a single notice and caused such a big disaster. After this, he must be punished properly.”

The corner of Zheng Zhe’s mouth twitched. He thought for a moment of silence for Lin Hu. He wanted to beg for mercy for Lin Hu, but Wang Gen suddenly stood up. He seemed to have made up his mind. He said resolutely, “Wait here for everyone to report. I’ll search the outer seas of the island.”

Zheng Zhe was shocked. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Senior Brother, this is absolutely impossible. The storm is raging right now, and the rain and wind are mixed together. This island is fine. If you go out of the island, you will most likely accidentally enter the center of the storm. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger!”

Wang Gen paused for a moment, but he still said in a deep voice, “I have the magic treasure ‘Heavenly Dragon Cauldron’ to protect me, so I should be fine. Furthermore, the missing person …” He took a long breath, his gaze like a knife, and said coldly,

“No matter what, I want to see people alive, I want to see corpses dead!”

Chapter 58 Search (2)

In the cloudy sky, rainstorms had ravaged the entire night, but there was still no sign of stopping or subsiding. The wind and rain were heavy, and the stormy waves were still like endless waves that washed away Qingyu Island, who stood silently and bitterly in the sea.

And when Wang Gen decisively and resolutely cut it off, Under this seemingly calm exterior, The entire Qingyu Island had already started to churn. Disciples of Lingxiao Sect were everywhere searching for people. They flew into the water despite the wind and rain. In front of the White Fish Bay newcomers’ cave, there was also a lot of noise. The stone doors of the cave were called open. The grim-faced senior apprentices were similarly braving the wind and rain to carefully inspect and guide the crowd.

At the same time, at the bottom of a remote and deep crater, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, after their initial excitement, finally had no choice but to face a desperate situation that they might not be able to escape.

Clearly, he had chosen the wrong path.

Previously, in the darkness of the cave, the two of them had crawled all the way until they saw the fluorescent stone tunnel behind them. Although the terrain was uneven, there were no other forks in the cave. Basically, the two of them had walked all the way here, and it was obvious that they had chosen the wrong direction in the beginning.

The cliff was more than a hundred feet tall and towered into the sky. The cliff was smooth and steep. Given their current situation, they didn’t have any Dao Cultivation. After all, they were just rookies who had just started cultivating. No matter what, it was impossible for them to escape from this place. At the bottom of the pit, with the dim light in the sky, one could see a radius of more than ten zhang below. Apart from a pond that occupied about half of the area in front of them, it was surrounded by hard stone walls, that is, a cave behind them. Other than that, there was no other exit.

Seeing this scene in front of them, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were speechless for a long time. Their faces were all pale. The excitement and strength that they had thought they were about to be saved when they saw hope earlier dissipated from their bodies like a dejected ball of skin.

Tiredness and pain were like the darkness in the depths of the cave. They shouted from every corner of their bodies, swarming towards them, making them unable to support themselves.

Zhong Qingzhu was the first to lose support. She leaned against the stone wall and slowly sat down on the ground. She bit her lips tightly with her teeth. Her face was already pale. Shen Shi looked slightly better, but his expression was also extremely ugly. No matter who faced a life and death situation, it was difficult to maintain calm. Moreover, he was only a youth after all.

After a while, he slowly sat down beside Zhong Qingzhu. He lowered his head and did not say anything.

Zhong Qingzhu’s face was pale. He looked at him and whispered, “Stone, what should we do?”

Shen Shi slowly raised his head and looked at the towering cliffs around him. He shook his head and said, “There’s no way out of here.”

Zhong Qingzhu gritted his teeth and said, “Then let’s go back?”

Shen Shi looked at her and didn’t say anything. After Zhong Qingzhu asked this, he smiled bitterly and didn’t say anything else.

The two of them survived in the depths of the cave by luck. Both of their bodies were injured in many places. Although they weren’t fatal, they weren’t easy to deal with together. Among them, Zhong Qingzhu’s left hand was broken. Under such circumstances, the two of them supported each other, struggled in the darkness, crawled in the puddle for a long distance, and persisted until this point. It was truly a miracle that exceeded their age. Even if they did it again, or if they were the only ones in the darkness, it was still hard to say whether they would be able to walk out or not.

If he turned around now, would he be able to walk back to the entrance in the other direction? Not to mention, would there be any dangers or poisonous insects or monsters in that dark cave? If there were no forks in the road, then would there be no forks in the cave when he walked in that direction?

More importantly, the two of them had exhausted almost all of their strength to struggle to this point. If they turned around and walked again, could they return to the middle of the cave where they had woken up before? Not to mention, just how many long passages still needed to be crawled in front of the darkness? Could the two of them really hold out?

No one was a fool. At least Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu weren’t. The joints in this place were dangerous. Even if they weren’t young, how could they not think of it after thinking about it? How could they not understand it?

If he didn’t leave, he would most likely be trapped here and die. He was almost certain that he would die in the depths of that sinister and terrifying cave after taking the risk to turn around.

The two of them were faced with two paths of despair.

④

Shen Shi leaned against the stone wall. He stared blankly at the sky. The mountain pass that was sealed by the cliff only revealed a small area, The clouds were still dense, The wind and rain continued to blow. However, due to the obstruction of the mountain wall, at the bottom of their heavenly pit, the originally violent wind and rain had calmed down a lot. It turned into long drifting raindrops that slowly drifted down and soaked their hair and clothes. However, neither Shen Shi nor Zhong Qingzhu had the strength to pay attention to this little bit of rain at this time.

The bottom of the pit was quiet. Perhaps because there was a pond here, the stone wall at the bottom was very moist. Moss could be seen everywhere. Rain drifted down from the sky, causing ripples in the clear pond, intertwining with the silent sorrow of the drizzle.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Shi suddenly said, “Do you want to go back again?”

Zhong Qingzhu leaned her back against the stone wall. Her body seemed to feel a little cold, and she couldn’t help but approach Shen Shi. When the two of them leaned against each other’s shoulders, she seemed to feel a little relieved, and her expression relaxed a little. After hearing Shen Shi’s question, Zhong Qingzhu sighed softly and said, “If we go back, can we go out?”

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t know.”

He didn’t know, but he naturally wasn’t confident. Looking at his expression, he knew that even Shen Shi himself was pessimistic about the road back. Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, “If I have to die, I would rather die here than go back to the bottom.”

Shen Shi didn’t say anything else. He just leaned against the stone wall and felt Zhong Qingzhu’s shoulder leaning against it. He felt a faint warmth and an inexplicable fragrance. He suddenly felt better in his heart.

Then he thought of something. Suddenly, his body moved. Zhong Qingzhu quickly noticed his strange appearance and turned around to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Shi seemed to have some hesitation. After a bitter smile, he said, “I suddenly remembered the thing I wanted to ask you about before and then forgot about it.”

Zhong Qingzhu said, “What is it?”

Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, “Didn’t we talk about spirit crystals as food? At that time, I wanted to ask you, do you have spirit crystals with you?”

Zhong Qingzhu’s expression changed. His eyes instantly shone brightly. The two of them were rookies who had begun cultivating. As long as they carried spirit crystals with them, they could recover their strength once they started cultivating. Even if they were trapped here and had spirit crystals to replenish their spirit energy, they would not be in danger of starving to death. After all, they had just started cultivating, and the amount of spirit energy required was extremely small. Even a single spirit crystal could sustain them for several days.

With this period of time, they might wait for reinforcements to arrive!

Thinking of this, Zhong Qingzhu was instantly delighted. His eyes were filled with wings and he said, “I, I didn’t bring any spirit crystals with me when I went out to pick up the shellfish. Did you bring any?”

Shen Shi held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, “I was also afraid that if I lost it with me, it would delay my cultivation, so I also put the spirit crystals in the cave and prepared to go back to cultivate at night.”

Zhong Qingzhu was stunned and speechless. After a long while, he finally lowered his head in disappointment. Shen Shi was also speechless. He looked up at the storm and felt that all the paths had come to an end. There was no longer any way to survive. He couldn’t help but sigh for a long time.

④

Below the precipice, the wind is not strong and the rain is falling.

The moss was dark green, the pond water was faint, and there were a few bushes of weeds beside the water, surrounded by three or two wild flowers. In this deep and secluded valley, there was a faint spring breath alone.

After sitting for a long time, the exhaustion on his body finally seemed to dissipate a little, and he could barely recover a little bit of his spirit. After the initial desperate blow, Shen Shi managed to regain his spirits. With one in ten thousand luck, he circled around the bottom of the heavenly pit, carefully inspecting it, hoping to find some paths to leave.

However, in the end, the stone wall was dense, and in the end, all his hopes were cut off.

Standing at the edge of the pond, he slowly turned around. At the entrance of the cave, Zhong Qingzhu also stood up on the stone wall and looked up at him.

Facing Zhong Qingzhu’s gaze, Shen Shi only shook his head slowly. A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhong Qingzhu’s face, but it was obvious that he had already predicted this outcome. He did not have much reaction and only walked over slowly.

Rain fell on her temples and face, taking advantage of her pale face.

Shen Shi frowned and said, “The wound on your hand is still not healed. It’s better to go back to the cave where there is no rain and rest.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s gaze fell on the pond beside the two of them. He looked at the clear pond water and whispered, “So what if we rest? Isn’t it the same as waiting for death?”

Shen Shi was speechless.

Zhong Qingzhu turned around and looked at him. His gaze was very gentle. After a moment, he said, “Stone, why don’t you go into the cave and come out later?”

Shen Shi frowned and said, “I’m fine. There’s no need to hide from the rain.”

A faint blush suddenly flashed across Zhong Qingzhu’s pale cheeks. Even in this desperate situation, he was still a little embarrassed, but he didn’t seem willing to blame the boy in front of him. He only whispered, “If I have to die here, I want to die cleanly.” Just now, I was crawling in the water, and my body was dirty to death. I want to wash myself in this water … ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that Zhong Qingzhu wanted to wash his body in this pool before he died. He felt extremely embarrassed for a moment, but at the same time, he felt a burst of sorrow in his heart. He took a deep look at Zhong Qingzhu and nodded. “I know, I’ll be there soon. You call me when you’re done washing up, and I’ll come out.”

Zhong Qingzhu blushed and nodded in response without saying anything.

Hearing the footsteps behind her slowly walk away, Zhong Qingzhu felt that her face was burning with fever. Looking at the clear pool of water in front of her, she seemed to be a little dumbfounded for a moment. After a while, she lightly sighed, raised her uninjured right hand, extended it to her chest, slowly unbuttoned the first button, and then reached out to undo the second.

Suddenly, right at this moment, Shen Shi suddenly cried out from behind her,

“Aiya!”

The sound of footsteps rang out. It was actually Shen Shi who quickly ran over from behind him. Zhong Qingzhu was shocked. Her face instantly flushed red and she subconsciously covered her chest with her hand. Although there was only one button that did not reveal her skin, her heart inexplicably crashed like a deer at this moment. At the same time, there was also a trace of anger and embarrassment. She turned around and stared at Shen Shi, wondering if this bad guy had any strange thoughts.
