Killing God - Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Old Grudge
The fifty-five spirit materials were different, and their rewards were different. The lowest was a spirit crystal. The highest reward was a spirit material called “Veluriyam Bone”. It was a spirit bone from a ferocious ghost in the depths of the Demon Catching Cave. The reward was as high as two hundred spirit crystals.

Seeing the two hundred spirit crystals, Shen Shi subconsciously swallowed his saliva and his eyes lit up. However, a moment later, he shook his head and threw away this unrealistic fantasy. The ferocity of the demonic beasts and ghosts on the demonic island, It has been circulating for a long time in the Qingyu Island rookie disciples, Normally, I would often hear that some senior brothers and sisters who went to Demon Island to hunt demons encountered extremely powerful ghosts in the depths of Demon Island, including the Demon Island’s most central cave. They accidentally got injured and returned in a sorry state. They did not earn any spirit crystals, but instead delayed their cultivation. It could be said that the gains were not worth the losses.

Shen Shi was cautious. When he decided to do the task of capturing demons, he had already inquired about the situation on the demon island. Therefore, he had already made up his mind. He thought that there were only a few low-level demon beasts at the edge of the demon island. With the First Grade Five Elements Technique, he should be able to barely cope with it.

As for now, he had unexpected gains in the cultivation of the Five Elements Technique, so he naturally had greater confidence in his heart. However, even so, he had never thought of truly going deep into the Demon Island.

After carefully memorizing the spirit materials on the large piece of paper in front of the red board, Shen Shi turned around and walked out of White Crane Hall. Because it was a mission issued by many entrances, there was no need to specially go and register with any White Crane Hall’s senior brother. As long as they went to the south dock of Qingyu Fair tomorrow, there would be a regular ship to Demon Island every day. They would return in the morning and return in the evening. They would return once a day.

At that time, as long as the harvest was sent to a fixed hall entrance, they would naturally be rewarded with spirit crystals.

After hesitating outside the White Crane Hall for a while, Shen Shi decided to go to Red Clam Village first. Almost every day for the past three years had passed. Gradually, it had become a habit that he had to talk to Hai Xing.

Just as Shen Shi was about to walk towards Red Clam Village, a silhouette suddenly appeared on the road ahead. His expression was calm, only his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about it.

Shen Shi recognized this Senior Brother. For three years, Senior Brother Wang Gen had presided over the affairs of the Bluefish Islands. He did things fairly and honestly, winning the respect of many disciples on the island. As Wang Gen’s right and left hand, Senior Brother Zheng Zhe also frequently stepped forward to handle various affairs. He could be said to be the second-ranked person on the island, and his prestige was also extremely high.

Shen Shi hurriedly moved aside and respectfully nodded, “Senior Brother Zheng.”

Zheng Zhe turned his gaze to look at him. After a moment of hesitation, he recognized Shen Shi and said, “So it’s Junior Brother Shen. What, are you here to find some missions for White Crane Hall?”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “Exactly.”

Zheng Zhe had been helping Wang Gen deal with the storm three years ago. Therefore, they had an impression of Zhong Qingzhu and Shen Shi, who had been lost that day, and Shen Shi’s advancement in cultivation over the past three years was not bad. At least, he was ranked in the top 100 rookie disciples, so they would usually say a few words when they met. At this moment, they would casually ask, “Oh, did you choose any good missions?”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but still replied, “I want to do the demon hunt mission.”

“Huh?” Zheng Zhe was stunned. He looked at this junior apprentice-brother in front of him carefully. Then, he frowned and said, “Junior apprentice-brother Shen, that monster hunting mission is no different from other ordinary missions. The monster beasts and ghosts on the monster island are not human. If one’s cultivation is not strong enough, one can easily be injured or even have a life-threatening experience. Do you know that?”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “Senior Brother Xie reminded me that I have already thought about this matter, so I only plan to wander around the edge of the Demon Island to see if I can hunt down some low-level demonic beasts.”

Zheng Zhe said, His expression eased slightly. However, he still warned, “Even peripheral demonic beasts, “Although your strength is low, with your mid-Qi Refining Realm strength, I’m afraid you still have some difficulty in the past … If you have to go, I think it’s best to go to the Five Elements Palace to buy a Five Elements Spell, Fireball Spell or Water Arrow Spell. The Earth Element Rock Sting Spell is also acceptable. After you have mastered it, you might be more confident.”

Shen Shi hurriedly nodded and agreed, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. Actually, I have already bought water archery in the Five Elements Palace. I have been cultivating day and night these past few days and have achieved some small success. That’s why I want to go to Demon Island to try it out.”

Zheng Zhe smiled and nodded, “So that’s the case. Then you should go to the Demon Island to take a look. After all, the reason why the senior of the sect set up a restriction to create a Demon Island was to give the rookies a place to practice combat, so that they wouldn’t have to work behind closed doors all day long. They could only use 30-40% of their cultivation.” After pausing for a moment, Zheng Zhe finally felt a little worried and said, “However, you’d better be careful. Remember to only move around the outskirts of the Demon Island. You must not easily go deep into the depths of the island, especially near the Demon Catching Cave. Do you understand?”

Shen Shi nodded and respectfully agreed.

Zheng Zhe waved his hand and greeted him. Then, he walked all the way through White Crane Hall and looked inside. He saw many rookies wandering around White Crane Hall. Without paying any attention, he walked over to Wang Gen’s residence in Qingyu Island, Xuan Ri Hall.

Zheng Zhe was Wang Gen’s trusted aide. He had always been able to enter and exit Xuan Ri Hall freely. Along the way, he greeted some disciples with smiles. Zheng Zhe also smiled and responded. As he walked all the way to the quiet room where Senior Brother Wang Gen usually cultivated, Zheng Zhe paused slightly, adjusted his breathing, and knocked twice on the door.

A moment later, a calm voice came from the quiet room. It was Wang Gen, and he said, “Is that Junior Brother Zheng? Come in.”

Zheng Zhe pushed open the door and entered. The quiet room was simple and clean. A thin fragrance curled up and gently ignited. Wang Gen sat cross-legged on a futon on the ground, his eyes slightly closed as he slowly breathed.

Zheng Zhe walked over and sat down on the prayer mat opposite Wang Gen, waiting quietly. After a while, Wang Gen slowly exhaled a mouthful of long breath. His entire body seemed to relax a little. Only then did he open his eyes and look at Zheng Zhe, saying, “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong?”

Zheng Zhe nodded, but the expression on his face was one of hesitation.

Wang Gen’s eyes lit up. He did not urge or say anything else. He only looked at him and slowly lowered his eyes.

After a moment of silence in the quiet room, Zheng Zhe finally felt somewhat embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, “Senior Brother, it’s actually from the Demon Island …”

Wang Gen raised his eyes to look at him again. His expression was calm and his gaze was also calm. However, for some reason, Zheng Zhe felt that there was a faint sense of oppression in this Senior Brother Wang’s aura. He was unable to say what he had originally thought of.

Wang Gen waited for a moment. Seeing that Zheng Zhe still seemed to have some hesitation, he said, “But Lin Hu asked you to plead for mercy again?”

Zheng Zhe smiled bitterly and nodded.

Wang Gen snorted coldly and said, “Three years ago, he did not do a good job and caused me great trouble. Should I deal with him? Could it be that he is still dissatisfied?”

Zheng Zhe hurriedly said, “Senior Brother misunderstands. Junior Brother Lin definitely does not dare to have such thoughts. However, it has been three years since he was punished to the Demon Island. It is indeed a bitter job there. He has pleaded with me many times to get it back. I think it’s about three years.”

Wang Gen glanced at him indifferently. Zheng Zhe sighed and didn’t say anything else. Wang Gen closed his eyes and said, “If he truly repents and does things with sincerity, I will naturally not make things difficult for him. But don’t tell me that you know nothing about the matters on Demon Island for the past three years?”

Zheng Zhe wanted to say something, but Wang Gen continued, “In the past three years, he has been guarding the Demon Island and the Demon Catching Cave with his Origin Condensation Realm elementary Dao Cultivation. Eleven serious injuries have occurred to Qi Refining Realm disciples on the Demon Island. The most serious injury was caused by the Scarlet Ghost Condensation Realm, and it took him three months to recover.” With such laziness, I had no choice but to send Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai to the Demon Island a year ago. This is the only way to control the situation. “Wang Gen sneered and said,” A person like this who likes to work hard and is arrogant has no right to feel aggrieved and dare to ask you to plead for mercy. ”

Zheng Zhe was speechless and retreated in embarrassment.

④

May 20, clear.

On this day, the weather was bright and sunny. It was almost June, and it was already gradually getting hot in Qingyu Island. However, all the people who cultivated on the island had Dao Cultivation. Their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people, and their resistance to the cold and hot heat was much stronger. Therefore, no one cared about this little hot sun.

On the south coast of the Green Fish Market was a dock built by the Ling Xiao Sect. At this moment, a large ship was docked. The sails were swaying and it looked like it was about to lift an anchor and set sail.

The six islands were all in the sea. Apart from powerful figures like Wang Gen who possessed extremely high cultivation and were capable of flying through the air with flying magical artifacts, ordinary Lingxiao Sect disciples had to rely on boats to travel back and forth between the islands most of the time. As for the large ship in front of him, it could be considered the most famous ship in Qingyu Island, because it was specially used to carry out demon hunting missions to Demon Island.

On the dock, Although it was still early in the morning, However, there were already about twenty people standing there, Most of them were young men in their twenties, In addition, There were also three people dressed differently from ordinary Qi Refining Realm disciples standing in front of the dock. Two of them had relaxed expressions, chatting and laughing with each other. The other had a short and fat figure. It was the same Lin Hu who had been punished back then. He looked at his fellow disciples who were both at the Origin Condensation Realm and didn’t speak much, but he kept looking into the depths of the island as if he was looking forward to something.

After a while, a figure walked over from that direction. It was Zheng Zhe. A trace of joy flashed across Lin Hu’s face and he hurriedly welcomed him. The two Origin Condensation Realm disciples behind him turned around and looked at him with a look of disdain on their faces.

Lin Hu trotted all the way to Zheng Zhe’s side with a flattering compliment on his face. He whispered a few words, as if he was greeting Zheng Zhe or asking him something. Zheng Zhe’s expression was calm, and he could not see any emotions. He only whispered a few words to Zheng Zhe.

The expression on Lin Hu’s face instantly became disappointed and depressed. He slowly lowered his head and muttered something, but Zheng Zhe suddenly frowned and glared at him. His expression sank. He waved his hand and slapped the back of his head heavily. He said two words sternly.

Lin Hu was shocked. He hurriedly nodded and bowed to apologize. How could he be so reserved as an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator? Zheng Zhe looked at him helplessly. Finally, he sighed and warned him before turning around to leave.

Lin Hu stood there respectfully and watched Zheng Zhe leave. Then, he turned around and walked back. His expression was already extremely ugly. He suddenly shouted at the Qi Refining disciples waiting on the dock, “What’s wrong with getting on the boat? Are you stupid?”

Many Qi Refining Realm disciples were greatly shocked by him. The two Yuan Condensation Realm disciples in front of them also looked sideways and slowly shook their heads. Their expressions of disgust became even heavier. They first turned around and walked towards the large ship.

Everyone didn’t dare to say anything after being scolded by Lin Hu. One after another, Lin Hu looked at his extremely bad mood and said, Along the way, he cursed. He wanted to curse whoever he saw was unpleasing to the eye. He suddenly saw that the Qi Refining Realm disciples were followed by a younger junior apprentice-brother. He looked somewhat familiar. Thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this person was the Shen Shi who was lost in that storm three years ago.

Lin Hu only felt that his mood was getting worse and worse. He glared at Shen Shi fiercely, his eyes revealing a hint of viciousness.

Of course, Shen Shi also sensed the hostility of this Elemental Condensation Realm senior brother, but at this moment, he was completely confused. He truly did not know when or where he had offended him …
