Supreme Devouring God

Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Tearing Off the Facade!

With Chou Han’s words falling, the Ancient Hall was suddenly plunged into a moment of silence.

Chu Xun and Guo Chen’s expressions turned cold as well.

Now that Chou Han had shown his displeasure, neither of them would be inclined to give him any satisfaction.

”It seems Brother Chou is quite busy, with little time to spare.”

”If that’s the case, then please, Brother Chou, you may leave,” Chu Xun said evenly.

Chu Xun’s previous sentence already hinted at ushering someone out, albeit not bluntly.

Now this statement made the intention quite clear.

Upon hearing Chu Xun’s explicit order to leave, Chou Han’s face also darkened violently, and a flicker of anger rose in his heart.

According to what Chou Han had thought,

it should have been easy for him to obtain news about Qin Chen from Chu Xun.

After all, no one dared to confront the power of the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect and the Burning Moon Nether Sect.

But, today Chu Xun was clearly not acting as anticipated.

Chu Xun was not afraid and regardless of what Chou Han said, he did not take the bait.

At this point, even with an order to leave being issued, Chou Han was naturally displeased.

However, since the conversation had reached this point and faces had been torn,

Chou Han believed there was no need for further pretense.

”Chu Xun, are you sure you can bear the wrath of the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect and the Burning Moon Nether Sect?”

Chou Han narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as an eagle’s as he stared at Chu Xun, the threat in his words suffused with intensity.

Chu Xun, hearing Chou Han’s words, knew that Chou Han was ready to tear off the disguise.

And he was well aware of the consequences of doing so.

In fact, from the moment he issued the eviction, Chu Xun had been ready.

Chu Xun knew the political landscape of the Forest Demon World might undergo tremendous upheaval.

Nonetheless, Chu Xun had no other option.

Selling out Qin Chen was, of course, out of the question.

If Chu Xun feared trouble, then he would not have joined the Reverse Alliance in the first place.

And this day was bound to come sooner or later.

It was just earlier than Chu Xun had anticipated.

Therefore, at this moment, Chu Xun’s gaze was extremely calm as he said to Chou Han, ”Please leave.”

Seeing that his threats had no effect, the fury in Chou Han’s eyes was more evident.

With a venomous look, he locked eyes with Chu Xun and said, ”You will regret this.”

Chou Han had originally intended to force Chu Xun into betraying Qin Chen with his own strength alone.

But it was clear that this was not going to happen.

His power was comparable to Chu Xun’s, and moreover, this was the Reverse Alliance’s stronghold. He could not force Chu Xun into answering as he did with Ye Fang.

He could only return to Zone One and seek Kong Yi’s assistance.

Chou Han believed that when the time came, not only Chu Xun but the entire Reverse Alliance and everyone in the Seventh Zone would be doomed.

Chu Xun’s actions today had planted the seeds of anger deep in Chou Han’s heart.

After speaking, Chou Han was ready to turn around and leave.

Chu Xun and Guo Chen did not stop Chou Han.

After all, Chou Han was the third-ranked Heavenly Pride of the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect. Although Chu Xun was quite displeased with Chou Han’s threat, it was out of the question to kill him right there.

That would only worsen the situation.

”Vice Alliance Hierarch Chu Xun!!”

However, at that moment, noisy voices arose from outside the Ancient Hall, and faintly, someone could be heard calling for Chu Xun.

Chou Han, who had just been about to leave, also stopped in his tracks.

Chu Xun furrowed his brows and walked straight out of the Ancient Hall.

Soon after, Chu Xun saw that it was a member of the Reverse Alliance who was being stopped by a group of Reverse Alliance members, and the person who had been calling out for Chu Xun was also the one completely surrounded by many Reverse Alliance members.

”Gu Wu, calm down. Vice Alliance Hierarch Chu Xun is currently discussing matters inside the Ancient Hall. Can’t you wait until after the meeting to report your issue?”

These members who were stopping Gu Wu hadn’t noticed that Chu Xun had already left the Ancient Hall. While blocking Gu Wu, they tried to persuade him.

”I, Gu Wu, can wait for other matters, but this particular issue cannot wait!”

”I demand to see Vice Alliance Hierarch Chu Xun right now!”

Gu Wu was visibly agitated, even to the point of losing control as he shouted loudly.

Unfortunately for him, there were too many people stopping him, and he couldn’t break through.

”What is it that you’re looking for me for?”

Chu Xun looked at Gu Wu, who was seeking him out, feeling that he seemed somewhat familiar.

Then, Chu Xun remembered.

This Gu Wu was a member of the Old Reverse Alliance, where Ye Fang had previously been.

Seeing Gu Wu so out of control, Chu Xun also felt that something was unusual, so he spoke up at once.

Hearing the voice of Chu Xun, the originally noisy situation quieted down.

Gu Wu took the opportunity to break through the crowd and reached Chu Xun’s side, about to speak, but Chu Xun interrupted him.

”Come inside with me.”

Chu Xun nodded to Gu Wu and then led him back into the Ancient Hall.

”What’s the matter?”

After bringing Gu Wu into the Ancient Hall, Chu Xun then asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Wu’s eyes began to shimmer with unstoppable tears, his eyes turning entirely red.

He seemed to be struggling to control his emotions, but to no avail.

”Vice Alliance Hierarch Chu Xun, please look.”

Gu Wu fought back his tears, trying hard to stabilize his emotions. Then, with a thought, he took out a corpse bag stained with blood from his Qiankun Bag.

Then, Gu Wu’s hands trembling, he fully unzipped the corpse bag.

”This is... Ye Fang?”

Upon seeing the body revealed as Gu Wu drew back the corpse bag, Chu Xun made a quick identification and soon recognized that the corpse was Ye Fang.

As the Hierarch of the Old Reverse Alliance, Chu Xun naturally knew Ye Fang.

However, more than Ye Fang’s identity, Chu Xun’s gaze focused on the six Residual Thunder Blades embedded in Ye Fang’s body.

Residual Thunder Blades—Chu Xun was familiar with them.

He knew exactly what they were used for.

And it was precisely because he knew and recognized them that Chu Xun’s heart felt a surge of towering waves at this moment.

The sight of the six Residual Thunder Blades struck Chu Xun with an unprecedented sense of shock.

He could only imagine what kind of torture and agony Ye Fang had suffered before his death.

Ye Fang’s body was discovered by a Reverse Alliance member who had passed by chance.

Initially, this Reverse Alliance member didn’t pay much attention.

After all, in the Seventh Zone, dead bodies were very common and not an uncommon sight.

However, when this Reverse Alliance member saw the six Residual Thunder Blades inserted into Ye Fang’s body, he was immediately stunned, and he knew what the Residual Thunder Blades were used for.

Then, the Reverse Alliance member noticed the label with the words ”Reverse Alliance” on Ye Fang’s body, which revealed Ye Fang’s identity to the group.

The Reverse Alliance label—this was something only members of the Old Reverse Alliance would have. The new Reverse Alliance had been established too hastily, and they hadn’t yet had time to create labels.

This member of the Reverse Alliance wasn’t foolish; connecting that Ye Fang had been tortured to death with the six Residual Thunder Blades, he knew that Ye Fang’s death was not ordinary.
