Supreme Devouring God

Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Fat Sheep? (Four more)

”You said before that the Trial Zone is divided into seven regions,”

”If Yuii Hong, Jang Chenglong, and others are there, doesn’t that make it difficult for disciples from low-level sects to get involved?” Qin Chen inquired.

”You’re right,” Huang Zheng admitted, somewhat helplessly.

”There are seven regions in total, and six of them are occupied by the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect, Burning Moon Nether Sect, and Spirit Heart Hall—the three Five-star Sects.”

”Only the smallest region remains, which is the Seventh Zone,” Huang Zheng said.

”They’ve directly taken six regions?”

Qin Chen frowned slightly. He had expected the Three Five-star Sects to be extremely domineering, but he hadn’t thought they would be so overbearing to leave only the smallest region for everyone else.

It was indeed a bit too aggressive.

”Nobody dares to compete with the Three Five-star Sects for resources in their zones, leading directly to exceptionally fierce competition in the Seventh Zone.”

”The three of us originally planned to enter the Seventh Zone to hunt Forest Demons, but we were accosted along the way and someone tried to take the Sect Tokens from all three of us.”

”That’s when the chase began, and fortunately, we ran into you; otherwise, we three might have been doomed,” Huang Zheng explained.

”From what you’re saying, it seems that the Seventh Zone is quite chaotic?” Qin Chen said.

”Actually, though the Seventh Zone may seem ownerless, there is, in fact, a controller,” Huang Zheng said.

”Who is it?” Qin Chen asked.

”The current eighth on the Heavenly Stele, from the Three-star Canglong Sect, Chu Xun,” Huang Zheng answered.

”Is it him?” Qin Chen nodded, not the least bit surprised.

After a month of competition, Chu Xun remained in the eighth spot on the Heavenly Stele and became the controller of the Seventh Zone. There was nothing surprising about that.

He was just wondering why Chu Xun didn’t unite everyone in the Seventh Zone instead of letting it continue in chaos?

There were so many disciples from low-level sects; their numbers combined would definitely dwarf those of the Three Five-star Sects.

With only one region to accommodate them all, the competition couldn’t help but be fierce.

”Perhaps I should meet this Chu Xun.”

Qin Chen pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

He knew well that the power of one person was limited.

So, he thought he could try to gather the strength of all the disciples from low-level sects.

Scattered sand, if compressed together, could be terrifying indeed.

Why should they, out of seven regions, be left with only the smallest one?

It still came down to an issue of strength!

The Three Five-star Sects didn’t even consider them, those from low-level sects.

Unless that force was strong enough,

Strong enough that the Three Five-star Sects couldn’t ignore it.

Now that Chu Xun was the controller of the Seventh Zone, and since Qin Chen was also very curious about him, he intended to visit the Trial Zone after hearing Huang Zheng’s account.

Fortunately, he would go and see this Chu Xun to understand his thinking.

He wanted to prove to everyone that what of Five-star Sects?

Even ants in great number can kill an elephant!

”Are you still planning to go to the Trial Zone?”

Qin Chen asked Huang Zheng and the others.

”We won’t go anymore; even if you could take us inside, we wouldn’t be able to survive there. We were too naive before.”

”That place is not for us,” Huang Zheng shook his head.

Qin Chen was not surprised by this; after all, Huang Zheng had almost died previously.

”Take care,” Qin Chen said to Huang Zheng and the others.

”With Brother Qin’s strength, a place in the top ten of the Heavenly Stele will soon surely be yours!” Huang Zheng said.

”I’ll take your kind words,” Qin Chen replied with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Huang Zheng, Qin Chen headed towards the location of the Trial Zone as directed by Huang Zheng.

The Trial Zone gathered most of the strong fighters and Heavenly Prides of the Forest Demon World today!

That place might become a critical spot in the current peak battle among the Ten Thousand Sects!

After traveling swiftly for an hour, Qin Chen arrived at a somewhat dilapidated field.

It seemed as if the area had endured the ravages of war.

In front of Qin Chen stood a huge yellow rock, which was conspicuously inscribed with the red letters ”Trial Zone.”

”The Trial Zone, here we are.”

Qin Chen slowed his pace and walked into this trial ground.

After entering, Qin Chen saw a signpost.

There were a total of seven signs, each pointing in the direction of a respective zone.

The Seventh Zone was in the northeast direction.

Following the signs, it wasn’t long before Qin Chen saw another rock with ”Seventh Zone” engraved in very noticeable red letters.

He had reached the Seventh Zone.

”Big brother, there seem to be a lot of people ahead.”

Little Strange hopped excitedly on Qin Chen’s shoulder, and after arriving at the Seventh Zone, Little Eye looked ahead.

Qin Chen’s gaze followed.

Indeed, as Little Strange said, there were quite a few people.

Although they were being quite stealthy, Qin Chen still spotted them at first glance; they seemed to be lurking there.

Qin Chen suddenly understood how Huang Zheng and the others had been chased; it turned out that someone was deliberately lying in ambush here.

”Don’t they fear that the newcomer might be a formidable figure, which could lead to their downfall?”

Qin Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.

What Qin Chen didn’t know was

that at this stage of the peak battle, almost all the outstanding individuals were well known.

Like Qin Chen from the Thunder Sky Sect, many people knew of him, they just hadn’t seen him and didn’t know what he looked like.

The people waiting in ambush at the entrance to the Seventh Zone were quite knowledgeable; they recognized most of the notable figures.

That confidence allowed them to lay in wait here.

”Brother Nan, a fat sheep has arrived.”

The ambushers had evidently already noticed Qin Chen.

One of the young men, who was sitting behind a rock, relayed this to a young man in a green shirt—one who seemed to be the leader of the group.

Upon hearing this, Zhuu Nan looked up at Qin Chen and automatically began searching his mind for everything related to Qin Chen. After a short while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

”This one, we can slaughter. Take his Sect Token and all his possessions, but leave him alive.”

Zhuu Nan told the other young men beside him.

Qin Chen had been in Ghost Valley for a month, and Zhuu Nan had never seen him.

Therefore, he regarded Qin Chen as a fat sheep ripe for the slaughter.

”It seems he’s noticed us.”

One of the young men hiding in the shadows looked towards Qin Chen and noticed that Qin Chen’s eyes were also directed their way, with a slight upward curve on his lips, which clearly meant he had discovered them.

”He’s noticed us?” Zhuu Nan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

”Since we’ve been spotted, let’s take the initiative and strike.”

Zhuu Nan spoke lazily.

The other young men were immediately ready to reveal their whereabouts and strike first.

”Wait a moment.”

The previously speaking young man suddenly shouted, causing those ready to take the initiative to halt in their tracks.
