Killing God - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Warn
The room quickly quieted down. The father and son were speechless. Shen Tai looked better. Although Shen Shi, who was still a teenager, was more mature and calm than his peers, he couldn’t help but be excited when facing the fact that it was very likely that this was the moment of parting between life and death. He was twelve years old.

Seeing his son’s slightly trembling lips and tears flashing through his worried eyes, Shen Tai felt that there were thousands of words in his heart. When the words reached his mouth, he didn’t know what to say. He opened his mouth and closed it. In the end, he sighed lightly and pulled his only bloodline flesh and blood to his side, hugging it tightly.

When he thought of today, it might be the eternal separation between heaven and man. The memories of the years when he had been dependent on his father from childhood to adulthood instantly surfaced in his mind. Shen Shi clenched his teeth and forcefully suppressed his tears. However, his entire body started to tremble under the agitation of his emotions. Shen Tai felt the excitement of his son in his arms and silently patted his back. Then, he touched his head with his hand and said softly,

“Little Stone, you are a boy. You can never cry.”

Shen Shi clenched his teeth and stared at his father without blinking. His face was somewhat pale.

Shen Tai remained silent for a moment, as if he had also sorted out his emotions. Then, his expression became serious. He looked at his son and said in a deep voice, “Stone, the reason for this matter has never been concealed from you. You should know why the situation is like this today.” “Since the boat is done, there is no chance to turn back. Seeing that the two of us are going to separate, it’s hard to say if we can see each other again in the future. I have something I want to say to you. You must remember it firmly in your heart.”

Shen Shi lowered his head slightly and stood beside his father. “Yes,” he said softly.

Shen Tai took a deep breath and said, “If the matter is not exposed, then naturally, don’t mention it. But if this matter is successful and the deities will fulfill their promises, then the father will be arranged to change his name and go to a remote small state to work for the deities.” And the most important reward for our desperate efforts is that the Divine Immortal Gathering will arrange for you to obtain a place in Lingxiao Sect, one of the four great cultivation sects in the world. ”

Shen Shi quietly clenched his fists and nodded.

Shen Tai said, “The Ling Xiao Sect is famous. It is one of the most famous Four Righteous Sects. There is no need for me to explain it to you in detail. My father’s talent is low, and I don’t have much experience to teach you on the path of cultivation. Now, the only thing I can tell you is what I have learned in my heart since I lived for half my life.”

Shen Shi raised his head and looked at his father. Shen Tai’s expression was solemn, and he said with some seriousness, “First, no matter what achievements you have or what opportunities you have, don’t be arrogant. Just remember that there are countless heroes in this world, and the elites of the world gathered together in the cultivation world. There will always be people who are smarter and stronger than you.”

The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth twitched slightly and he whispered, “Yes, this child has memorized it.”

Shen Tai raised his gaze slightly and looked at the door that was still open in front of him. Gu Lingyun and Butcher had already left this place, and their figures could not be seen at the patio. He must have gone to the backyard to leave some space for the father and son who were about to separate.

Looking at the empty door, Shen Tai said indifferently, “You saw Gu Lingyun just now. What do you think of her?”

Shen Shi gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “She is a vicious and vicious woman.”

Shen Tai smiled and suddenly said, “You underestimate her.”

Shen Shi frowned and looked at his father in puzzlement. Shen Tai remained silent for a moment and said, “Five years ago, in Xilu City, the branch of the Divine Immortal Society was crushed to the point of being exposed by me, causing business to plummet.” However, after she arrived here, she did her best to turn the tide silently. Although she was unable to defeat the Heavenly First Floor under my control, she still managed to stabilize the situation. And now the situation is turning for the worse for us father and son, and she has already killed many birds with one stone. She must be the biggest winner. ”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, “What should I say?”

Shen Tai sneered and said, “Firstly, I created the Heavenly Floor by myself. I know exactly what kind of materials my subordinates are. After I leave, the Heavenly Floor will definitely be defeated by the Divine Immortal Society.” Secondly, I talked to her secretly that day. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Xuanyin Sect, I was forced to agree to work hard for the Divine Immortal Society after the completion of the mission. This is why she helped the Divine Immortal Society defeat their great enemy in Xilu City by poaching another general. Thirdly, the old monster Li that we plotted against this time is an Origin Core Realm Grand Daoist. His Dao Art is heaven-reaching, and those who dare to oppose this kind of person and can drive a branch of the Divine Immortal Association to work for him are definitely not ordinary people. They must be peerless experts with great backgrounds. “Once it’s done, Gu Lingyun will be able to get along better with such a big shot, which will be of great help to her future career.”

Shen Shi pursed his lips tightly. Obviously, he hadn’t thought that this seemingly simple matter would have such a superfluous smell. At the same time, he only heard Shen Tai say in his ear, “But the most important thing is that Gu Lingyun secretly plotted such a dangerous matter against a Grand Daoist at the Origin Core Realm.” Along the way, Gu Lingyun had practically no risks to speak of. “Everything is fine, and there is not much to lose. Just as she said, the most you can do is to hand me over to the Xuanyin Sect to cut me into pieces and extract my soul to refine my soul. And because they have you, I can’t tell them that the Divine Immortal Society is involved in this matter.”

At this point, his voice involuntarily paused. Shen Shi’s expression changed drastically. Shen Tai took a deep breath and bitterly smiled. “I didn’t think through this plan until not long ago.”

Shen Shi’s face turned even paler. However, Shen Tai seemed to have relaxed a little. He said, “Shi Shi, these words that I have said to you clearly point out the twists and turns within them. I want you to understand that there are too many intelligent people in this world. All sorts of scheming methods cannot allow you to be arrogant and conceited.” If you can really join Lingxiao Sect in the future, you must remember this. ”

Shen Shi slowly nodded and said, “Yes, this child has memorized it.”

Shen Tai nodded. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Apart from that, there is one more thing you need to remember. There are many geniuses in the cultivation path, and there are always people with extraordinary talents. However, you are not.” “However, if someone sees that you are twelve years old, yet you are proficient in painting and calligraphy of the five elements of yin and yang and ten complex runes, they will definitely exclaim that you are a genius and admire your extraordinary talent. Do you understand the reasoning behind this?”

Shen Shi frowned and revealed a thoughtful expression. Shen Tai gently patted his shoulder and said, “That’s the power of a drop of water. If you persevere, you can pierce through a stone.” Ever since you were five years old, I’ve forced you to practice calligraphy and painting. Seven years have passed without interruption. Only by accumulating time after time will you be able to achieve some accomplishments. “Although talismans are unfashionable paths, and their cultivation as fathers is low, and it is true that other than that, they can’t teach you anything, but I think the reasoning behind them is the same.”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “Yes, I understand.”

Shen Tai looked at his son in front of him and suddenly smiled. “Son, as a father, I really don’t have the ability. Everyone else’s family gives their children a lot of money. It’s my turn, so I can only say a few casual words. Don’t blame father.”

Shen Shi shook his head heavily.

Shen Tai laughed and rubbed the corners of his eyes casually. After a moment of silence, he said, “You will leave this place later. I think it should be the butcher who will take you away.” Although our father and son have some friendship with him, life and death are too big to be trusted. The cultivators, especially the rogue cultivators, looked at the direction of the spirit crystals very seriously, just in case … “Shen Tai pondered for a moment and reached into his arms to feel for it. He took out three sparkling spirit crystals and handed them to Shen Shi. He said softly,” You can’t have too many spirit crystals on you to avoid causing trouble. ”

Shen Shi silently put away the Spirit Crystal and looked up at his father. His heart trembled for no reason. From the tone of his voice, it seemed like Shen Tai was giving instructions for the future. However, in this situation, he had no other choice but to nod in agreement.

After everything was settled, Shen Tai’s expression relaxed. It was as if he had finally put down the heavy burden in his heart. Although there was still a trace of worry between his brows, after all, father and son had been dependent on each other for many years, and it was difficult to part with each other. When he thought about the years ahead, even if it was the best outcome, Shen Shi could only rely on himself. Even though he was still only a twelve-year-old youth.

However, he still hardened his heart and stood up. Shen Shi’s face immediately turned pale. Separation was imminent. After today, who knew if there would be another day? The corner of Shen Tai’s eyes turned slightly red. He wanted to say something but hesitated. After a moment of silence, he took out an item and stuffed it into Shen Shi’s hand.

It was a small jade hourglass. It was old and worn, but through the white and translucent jade surface, one could still see that the fine grains of sand were still flowing and sliding non-stop.

“This is the gadget your mother gave me for the first time back then. I’ve always kept it, so I’ll give it to you in the future. No matter what happens, it can be considered a remembrance …”

After saying that, he took a deep look at his son and walked to the door without hesitation. He said loudly to the outside,

“Shopkeeper Gu, are you still here?”

The sound of footsteps echoed and disappeared into the distance. Two figures, one big and one small, disappeared from this room. Shen Tai and Gu Lingyun stood at the edge of the patio and did not look back.

Butcher brought Shen Shi away. They did not leave through the gate, but went straight to a secret passage in the backyard. There was a secret passage leading to another secret location of the Divine Immortal Association in Xilu City. When they got there, there would naturally be a secret way to escape from Xilu City.

At this moment, in the past five years, the two top cultivators in the Spirit Materials business in Xilu City, men and women who were fighting like fire and water, stood side by side.

After a while, it was Gu Lingyun who spoke first. However, what she said was a bit strange. It seemed to carry a rare sigh and a hint of mockery. She said, “Speaking of which, I admire those vassal families of the Xuanyin Sect. There’s nothing decent about cultivating, but it’s really neat and decisive to exclude people.”

From the looks of it, the short, plump, and ordinary words usually gave the first impression that the very inconspicuous Shen Tai seemed to understand them very naturally. He smiled and said, “There’s no need for you to say it. I also know that they have not liked me for a long time.”

Gu Lingyun crossed his eyes and cast a glance at him. There seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes as he replied softly, “Oh?”

Shen Tai said indifferently, “For centuries, The Li Clan, the Wang Clan, the Xu Clan and the Song Clan, “These aristocratic families of the Profound Yin Sect have their own duties. Some collect spiritual herbs for Lingxiao Sect, some mine spirit ore, some concoct pills, and some mine spirit crystals exclusively. In short, it is as if they have divided their spheres of influence. This one is mine, and that one is yours. Everyone will not offend the river, and each of them will benefit from it. They will absorb blood from the Profound Yin Sect together.”

The corner of Gu Lingyun’s mouth curled up. He seemed to want to laugh and then restrain himself. However, his expression became more charming. He glanced at Shen Tai and said, “I can’t see that Boss Shen can actually say such harsh words.”

Shen Tai snorted and said, “Within the sect, who can’t see through such a thing?” However, these vassal clans’ seniority as elders was deep-rooted in the sect. Some of the high-ranking elders came from these great clans, so the entire Xuanyin Sect was too lazy to pay attention to them. Unfortunately, no one would have imagined that such a strange person like me would appear, and that such a freak like Tian Yilou would appear in Xilu City. I can handle all of their duties with a prosperous shop, and I can handle them several times better. Not only can I hand over more spirit materials every month, I can also hand over more spirit crystals to the sect, instead of letting the sect pay these spirit crystals to the aristocratic families like before. “Tell me, is this like taking their lives?”

Gu Lingyun originally had a smile on her face, but when she listened, the smile on her face gradually faded. After Shen Tai finished speaking, she was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something. Then, she looked at Shen Tai and said slowly,

“Looks like under the Xuanyin Sect, you are truly a wronged genius.”
