Killing God - Chapter 97
Chapter 97 Friends
At the same time, the place on Bluefish Island was still as calm as ever, and amongst the crowd of friends who had some friendship with Shen Shi, it seemed that everyone was doing their own things peacefully.
Behind the Bright Furnace Hall, in the stone room of the pill furnace, Zhong Qinglu’s fair cheeks were flushed by the blazing fire. Smoke floated up, and a deep rumbling sound came from inside the pill furnace. Invisible Spiritual Energy filled the entire stone room with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
This batch of Origin Cultivation Pills was about to start.
Zhong Qinglu knelt beside the pill furnace and silently stared at the red flames. She listened carefully to the sounds in the pill furnace and weighed them in her heart. She waited for the moment when she was most confident of starting the furnace to retrieve the pills.
It was at this moment that she seemed to be in a trance for a moment. She remembered the appearance of Shen Shi handing over the eighty spirit crystals to her last night. Although he had a calm expression, but …
Hmph, do you think I can’t see the pain in your eyes?
When I refine this batch of Origin Cultivation Pills, I’ll stuff them into your hands. Let’s see what your expression looks like at that time!
Zhong Qinglu thought in her heart. In this quiet room, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.

In this fifth year, which was the most crucial and decisive year for the fate of the majority of people, Gan Ze was of course the most noticed newcomer amongst the many disciples on Bluefish Island. Whether it was his ancient family background or his extraordinary talent that surpassed his peers, Gan Ze appeared to be so different from the rest of the world.
It was as if he was born to be superior to others.
At this moment, Gan Ze, Alone in his cave, He was practically completely immersed in his own cultivation. After many years of solid foundation, the spiritual energy in his body had already reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. His Qi channels were already filled with spiritual energy as thick as clouds and mist. At this moment, it was flowing nonstop. Seeing that the time to open up the Jade Mansion and break through to the Origin Condensation Realm was approaching.
His tongue rested on his upper jaw, and his hand formed a seal. Ganze calmly guided the spiritual energy in his body. At the same time, he thought of the demon island. Of course, he also thought of the demon trapping cave on the demon island, as well as the things he had seen inside.
A cold smile flashed across his face. When he truly broke through to the Origin Condensation Realm and learned a powerful Dao Art divine ability from the Lingxiao Sect Sect, it would be the time for him to return to the Demon Island’s Demon Catching Cave to avenge himself.

Zhong Qingzhu had a faint smile on his face as he walked past Qingyu Fair. Occasionally, people would recognize her and greet her warmly. She also smiled and responded one by one. In the past few years, her circle of friends in Qingyu Island had expanded greatly, and she had known many people. It was much better than Shen Shi who had only known less than ten people from the same group in five years.
Especially a few days ago, Zhong Qingzhu had unexpectedly succeeded in breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm as the second rookie disciple. He had leapt to become the second most influential figure on the island after Gan Ze, and there were even more fellow disciples who came to make friends with her.
A lot of friends is a lot of connections, There’s a lot of information, a lot of ideas, Zhong Qingzhu seemed to be born with long sleeves and good dancing skills. She was even much stronger than her cousin Zhong Qinglu, who came from a better background. In the eyes of many of her fellow disciples, the representative figure of the famous vassal clan of the Ling Xiao Sect was no longer Zhong Qinglu, who was somewhat arrogant and lazy enough to ignore idlers. Instead, she was Zhong Qingzhu, who was always smiling and looking at him warmly.
After breaking through to the Origin Condensation Realm in the future, the sect elders would accept him as their beloved disciple, and the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation with a bright future seemed to have already spread out in front of them.
Zhong Qingzhu also felt that she should be very happy, so along the way, she smiled kindly and nodded and chatted with those people she knew or didn’t know. It took her boss a lot of effort to return to her cave.
When the stone door closed, Zhong Qingzhu stood for a while, and then slowly let out a breath. Unknowingly, she seemed to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by everyone. This was something she had never experienced before. Most of the time, it was Zhong Qinglu’s treatment.
That feels good.
She put down her gentle and courteous appearance in front of others, stretched a bit impudently, and then sat down at the table. However, she suddenly felt that her heart was somewhat empty. She did not want to do anything, so she held her cheeks and leaned against the table in a daze.
Then, she thought of a boy, the boy who had experienced life and death with her in the dark cave five years ago.
But recently, even though everyone would chat and laugh when they met, they still felt that they were somewhat unfamiliar with each other …
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned and did not move for a long time.

“Ah” Young friend Sun yawned and lazily tossed the food in his hand into the beast cage. The black-striped turtle inside looked the same lazy look. Even its head seemed to be too lazy to turn around. Its sleepy eyes looked like it was lying motionless on the ground.
Sun You cursed and turned his head away from the animal. Five years in the beastlands, Ever since the child grew up into a youth, his days had been peaceful and his cultivation had been progressive. However, at this moment, he raised his head to look at the azure sky above his head. Suddenly, he felt envious of Shen Shi. That fellow did not have a background like his. He could not find such a stable and privileged mission, so he could only frequently take great risks to explore and hunt demons on islands.
However, that fellow seems to be much freer than him. Moreover, these past few days, he has always felt that there is a faint spirit on his body. I wonder if he has killed too many demonic beasts on Demon Island. Perhaps it’s killing intent …
Sun You shook his head and smiled bitterly. He casually clenched his fists and spread out his palms. After about five to six breaths of time, a fireball appeared in his hand.
Actually, he had also refined the Five Elements Minor Technique back then, but in the end, he still didn’t go to the demon island that had become extremely dangerous after the accident.
What was Shen Shi doing now?
Sun You raised his head to look at the sky and then looked at the distant sea. In the distance of the sea, where it was hard to see, was the direction of the Demon Island.
④
What was Shen Shi doing now?
Almost the same thought, in the seawater outside Red Clam Village, a beautiful figure roaming in the water spoke to himself in a soft voice.
Hai Xing stretched her body without any big movements, but her body floated easily on the sea water. Even though she looked like she was carrying a large clam shell, it didn’t seem to have any effect on her at all.
In Red Clam Village, an old voice sounded,
“Hai Xing, there are no fish in the water now. Even the Coral Sea can’t see them. Don’t run over by yourself again.”
Hai Xing frowned and said impatiently, “I know, I’m not a child.”
The old man on the shore chuckled. He seemed to have warned her, but he didn’t mean it seriously. After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked away step by step.
“The Coral Sea …” Starfish sighed. “I even said that I would take a stone to take a look, but he was so stupid. He didn’t know how to swim for so long. Otherwise, I would have taken him there a long time ago.”
“But speaking of which, I haven’t been there for a long time. Ever since there weren’t any fish in the sea …”
Hai Xing rolled over in the water, his fair skin sparkling in the waves like a beautiful fish.
Then, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end, she still smiled. She rolled over and dived into the water, quietly diving into the vast sea.
The scenery beneath the water was exceptionally beautiful. However, without the school of fish, the vast underwater world was empty, leaving behind only those strange rocks and strange walls. There was not the slightest bit of life in sight.
Starfish didn’t notice anything. She had seen much of the sea water around Bluefish Island in the past few years. There wasn’t anything strange about it. Soon, she swam deeper into the sea. The dark green and dark underwater world in the distance seemed to have also quietly surged towards her until her figure disappeared into the sea.

On the Demon Island, in the dense forest.
Shen Shi stared at the Blood-eyed Ferret in front of him. He held his breath and focused. He quietly raised his right hand that was grabbing the Earth Settling Talisman and aimed it at the little demonic beast that was still digging on the ground. Just as he was about to activate the talisman, the Blood-eyed Ferret suddenly raised its head as if it had been alerted by something. It looked towards Shen Shi’s direction.
Shen Shi’s heart sank. Just as he was about to activate the Earth Sinking Talisman, he discovered that the Blood-eyed Ferret revealed a trace of fear. With a scream, it instantly fled backwards like lightning.
“Ah!” Shen Shi rushed forward a few steps. However, the Blood-eyed Ferret’s movements were extremely agile. In the blink of an eye, it had actually leapt out of his spell range. This speed was truly astonishing. Shen Shi was shocked, but he also felt a burst of frustration.
If I had known earlier, I would have done it earlier.
Since the Blood-eyed Ferret was frightened and escaped, with its timid nature, it would most likely never return. Shen Shi could only sigh and give up the idea of catching it again. Just as he was thinking about whether to search the forest again, Shen Shi suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly.
Shen Shi’s expression instantly changed, but before he could make a judgment or react, a sharp beast roar sounded from behind him. Following that, a gust of fishy wind blew past, and the bull-shaped demonic beast that had always been strong rushed over.
Shen Shi was shocked. Why didn’t he discover this demonic beast when he came over earlier? Now that it had attacked him in a hurry, Shen Shi hurriedly reached out to retrieve the talisman from the Little Ruyi Ring.
He only reached out half of his hand, Suddenly, he saw that the demonic beast rushed towards him in a strange direction. A moment later, the sound of its hooves rushed over like a drum. This ferocious and strong demonic beast actually rushed over from his side and ran crazily into the depths of the forest like it was fleeing for its life. It did not even look at the weak human not far away.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He was unable to accept this strange thing at once. However, in the next moment, Suddenly, countless clamorous roars rang out in the forest. Behind the dense branches and leaves, countless kinds of demonic beasts suddenly appeared. Each of them looked extremely frightened. They all ran forward like crazy and turned into a flood of demonic beasts that flew past the dumbstruck Shen Shi.
A boundless mist slowly surged from behind these demonic beasts, blocking out all the light and gradually engulfing the forest as if it were devouring it. Within the thick fog, a strange and gloomy voice came from all directions like a ghost crying in the underworld. In the fog, countless illusory shadows faintly appeared, bringing with them an ice-cold and bone-piercing cold aura as they flew forward.
