Supreme Devouring God

Spiritual Wood Mountain Range.

This was originally the residence of the Wood Clan.

When Qin Chen arrived here, memories of the past flooded his mind, recalling the time he came with Gu Xiaofeng and Ouyang Meng’er to carry out a mission, during which some misunderstandings occurred.

Alas, with time, things changed; Gu Xiaofeng was captured by Emperor Chu, and Ouyang Meng’er went to the Saint Thought Land with Wen Tengqi.

The Mu Clan was one of the Five Great Origin Clans, known as the Medical Saint Gu Clan, wielding significant influence in the Great Origin Dynasty’s medical world.

But now.

This place is deserted.

The air is filled with an aura of desolation.

The Mu Clan, with over ten thousand members, had been taken away entirely a few days ago.

Qin Chen even saw bloodstains on the ground, clearly indicating that some Mu Clan members died that day.

Qin Chen’s expression was icy.

The Reverse Shadow Sect, along with the Thunder Sky Sect, totaled at least forty thousand people.

Emperor Chu’s ambition was such that he intended to turn these forty thousand into dust with a single command.

”Bang!”

Qin Chen raised his hand and threw Qi Zhengyuan into BiDaolong Lake.

Originally, there should have been a Green Wave Dragon Tree in the lake, from which Qin Chen had once collected ’Qi of Yi Wood.’

But now, he only saw a broken stump barely afloat, clearly having been chopped down.

Qi Zhengyuan was, after all, a Tongtian Realm expert, so even though Qin Chen casually tossed him into the lake, he would not drown.

However, this manner was naturally quite humiliating.

Did Qin Chen really think of him as a dog?

Having witnessed Qin Chen’s brutal methods earlier, Qi Zhengyuan dared not make a sound, fearing further humiliation if he provoked Qin Chen’s displeasure.

He could only wait!

Wait for the royal family to avenge him!

The next day.

Ouyang Panxue arrived at the Spiritual Wood Mountain Range with Ouyang Panxia and others, including Chu Xun.

”Qin Chen!”

Seeing Qin Chen again after half a year.

Chu Xun and others were extremely excited.

Especially Chu Xun, who had once participated in the Ten Thousand Sects Peak Battle with Qin Chen and witnessed his growth.

Yesterday, upon hearing the news of Qin Chen’s deeds on Dumo Island, he was both shocked and thrilled.

”Little brother! You’ve gone too far, coming back and not seeing me.”

Ouyang Panxia pouted, showing her displeasure with Qin Chen.

Qin Chen chuckled, ”Little brother is busy, planning to see you after handling things first.”

Then.

Qin Chen briefly introduced Ouyang Panxia and the others to Wang Shishi.

Wang Shishi was a bit older than Ouyang Panxia. The two were about the same age, and hit it off right away at their first meeting.

Especially upon hearing that Wang Shishi was from the Dajing Dynasty, Ouyang Panxue was filled with curiosity, eagerly asking about the Dajing Dynasty.

”You knew to come back?”

Ouyang Panxue said coldly to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen awkwardly smiled, ”Of course I had to come back, this is my home.”

”Did you return to Demon Peak previously?”

Ouyang Panxue recalled feeling Qin Chen’s presence on Demon Peak before.

Qin Chen nodded.

”So were you just waiting for us to find you?”

Ouyang Panxue’s voice was icy.

Qin Chen quickly said, ”I didn’t want to disturb you or involve the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect in this matter.”

Why did he choose to question Qi Zhengyuan at the Spiritual Wood Mountain Range instead of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect?

Because he knew what he did might implicate the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, so he deliberately avoided it.

After all, his actions were due to personal reasons, and there was no reason to involve the entire Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.

”You are a disciple of our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, a fact known throughout the Great Origin Dynasty. You think you can get rid of that? Impossible,” Ouyang Panxue shook her head.

”What do you mean? Did the sect make any decision?”

With keen observation, Qin Chen immediately sensed the implications in Ouyang Panxue’s words.

Ouyang Panxue said, ”The Vice Sect Leader has decided that the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect will intervene in this matter. If the Demon God Palace and the royal family want to act against you, they’ll have to get past us first.”

Qin Chen felt touched.

Honestly, he never expected the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect would face the Demon God Palace and the royal family for his sake.

”So! Stop thinking about acting alone all the time. You are our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect’s senior brother, a role model for all disciples.”

”Don’t keep thinking about ditching us to act on your own, you can’t shake us off.” Ouyang Panxue said.

”Am I not part of a rogue sect then?” Qin Chen laughed.

”What? Unwilling? Too late to regret now!” Ouyang Panxue said.

Qin Chen felt warmth in his heart.

”Are you afraid?”

Ouyang Panxue suddenly asked.

Qin Chen was taken aback, then replied with a bright smile, ”If I were afraid, do you think I would have done those things?”

”What exactly is your strength now?” Ouyang Panxue asked.

”Guess?” Qin Chen smiled.

Ouyang Panxue rolled her eyes dramatically, ”Just don’t be too impulsive on the day of execution.”

”Do you think what I did was impulsive?”

Qin Chen smiled and asked in return.

”Wasn’t it? You crashed someone’s birthday celebration and killed them,” Ouyang Panxue said.

Qin Chen said, ”In my view, it wasn’t impulsive but a declaration, an attitude, a statement.”

”I was telling the royal family and the Demon God Palace through my actions that I, Qin Chen, fear them not. Dreaming of stepping on me to prove something is absolutely impossible.”

The young man’s gaze was firm and persistent.

He was someone with an attitude.

Always like this.

Emperor Chu dared to use forty thousand lives as stepping stones to demonstrate imperial might.

Then Qin Chen dared to give him a bloody warning.

Ouyang Panxue was attracted to the determined young man at this moment.

Perhaps this was where he differed from others the most.

Even in a chaotic and dirty world, he always held a persistent heart.

...

The day of execution came swiftly as time flew by.

In fact.

Although few showed up at the Spiritual Wood Mountain Range in recent days, Qin Chen could feel many eyes focused here.

The news of questioning Qi Zhengyuan had spread over three days, known by nearly everyone.

Many were speculating.

Would this matter become the fuse that ignites the entire Great Origin Dynasty’s situation.

”You all go somewhere safe.”

Qin Chen said to Ouyang Panxue and others, sensing a faint killing intent.

Today would definitely not be peaceful.

Ouyang Panxue nodded, originally not much of a talker, and now also said nothing, just nodded, glanced at Qin Chen, and then left the Spiritual Wood Mountain Range.

”Splash!”

After Ouyang Panxue and the others left.

Qin Chen grabbed through the air to lift Qi Zhengyuan from BiDaolong Lake.

Having been soaked in water for three days, Qi Zhengyuan, already injured, now showed signs of infection and decay in his wounds, looking extremely miserable.

Qin Chen looked at Qi Zhengyuan and smiled slightly, ”Are you ready?”
