How to send message without @client.event in discord.py?

Question

I need a way to constantly check for the message 'kill' in discord.py. I have many while loops in my code so I need to create a new thread with the threading module. How can I send a message to a channel with that thread without the events.

You can use asyncio.get_event_loop().create_task(channel.send("example message")) . Use it like this:

import asyncio

client = discord.Client()

def funct():
    channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
    asyncio.get_event_loop().create_task(channel.send("example message"))
