Supreme Devouring God

After leaving the C Character Dao Garden.

Many gazes fell upon Qin Chen and his companions, eyes filled with envy.

This is often the nature of humanity.

What one can’t obtain, yet others do, often causes a strong sense of imbalance in the heart.

”The sacrificial ceremony for the Dao God will commence the day after tomorrow. Everyone, take these days to rest well, or tour the sights of our Dao Village. I look forward to everyone’s performance at the ceremony.”

Xue Ningjun smiled as he spoke, then transmitted a message to Qin Chen: ”Do you need me to protect you on your way back?”

His mind was keen, noticing the many unfriendly glances.

Qin Chen shook his head, transmitting a message: ”No need, Uncle Xue. What is destined to come cannot be avoided.”

This group would always find a way to deal with him.

Seeing Qin Chen’s response, Xue Ningjun nodded and turned to leave.

And so, only Xue Ningjun actually left the scene.

All the Heavenly Prides who entered the C Character Dao Garden did not leave.

”Let’s go.”

Qin Chen stepped forward, preparing to return to his residence.

”Stop.”

Huangfu Ming’s voice was filled with an overwhelming sense of power, seizing Qin Chen in place.

Qin Chen snorted coldly, clenching his fists and releasing powerful energy from his physical body, shattering the force pressing upon him.

Huangfu Ming, Ming Han, and some disciples of the Huangfu Family and Void Sect, all approached Qin Chen and his group threateningly.

”What do you intend to do?!”

Qin Qi’s brows filled with a chill.

Huangfu Ming looked at Qin Qi: ”You can leave.”

”What do you mean I can leave? Why should I leave?!”

Qin Qi’s tone was filled with displeasure.

Ming Han looked at Huang Jue: ”Huang Jue, take your junior brother and leave. Today, we’ll give your Heavenly God Mountain some face; don’t let him get involved.”

Huang Jue remained silent, neither asking Qin Qi to return nor defending him.

”Thud!”

However, Qin Qi’s stance was extremely firm.

He stepped forward, causing the ground to tremble with a weighty sound.

His gaze was as sharp as a blade, staring at Ming Han and the others: ”If you want to lay a hand on my big brother, you’ll have to get through me first!”

Ming Han continued to disregard Qin Qi and kept his eyes on Huang Jue.

”Huang Jue! Make your Heavenly God Mountain person leave!”

Huang Jue glanced at Qin Qi and finally said: ”Whatever he does is none of my business, but remember, he’s a disciple of our Heavenly God Mountain, and a student favored by ’Senior Shimo’.”

Shimo!

The name caused both Ming Han and Huangfu Ming to change their expressions.

Shimo, a formidable and threatening presence indeed.

Many others looked at Qin Qi in astonishment, curious why he would receive such favor from Shimo.

Moreover, Huang Jue’s stance was resolute.

Qin Qi is a disciple of Heavenly God Mountain, and no matter his actions, he remains so.

Clearly, if Ming Han and others planned to target Qin Qi, Heavenly God Mountain would not stand by idly.

Huangfu Ming whispered to Ming Han: ”We need not conflict with Heavenly God Mountain. I’ll restrain this fellow while you lead people to seize the Human Pattern Golden Ginseng and Ksitigarbha Water Orchid from the three of them.”

The Void Sect and Huangfu Family combined could contend simultaneously with the Saber Saint Cliff and Heavenly God Mountain.

Yet, Huangfu Ming saw no need for such a clash.

He saw an opportunity to achieve his desires while minimizing losses.

”Alright.”

Ming Han nodded.

”Prepare for action.”

Some bystanders remained, eager to watch the spectacle.

”This is the fate of the standout.”

Some even showed a hint of schadenfreude.

Yue Lintao and Tian Jiahan stood aside, not a hint of worry in their hearts, rather a constant cold smile.

Wang Houyun wore a grim expression; earlier in the C Character Dao Garden, he sensed such events might unfold.

He looked at Yue Lintao: ”Hurry, notify Vice Palace Master Yuan Sha.”

Their forces were too weak to withstand the joint forces of the Void Sect and Huangfu Family; only Yuan Sha could mediate.

However, Yue Lintao merely smiled at these words, acting as if he hadn’t heard them, not moving a single step to notify Yuan Sha.

He crossed his arms, adopting a watching stance.

”Are they truly fellow disciples?”

Many understood why earlier Tian Jiahan sought Qin Chen’s help in selecting Dao Medicine, and why Qin Chen ignored her.

These fellow disciples were even colder than strangers.

”Bastard.”

Wang Houyun’s face turned terribly dark. He turned to Qin Chen and Lin Songyun: ”Junior Brother Qin, Junior Sister Lin, Dao Lake isn’t far; let’s head directly there.”

”Dao Lake is always crowded; they definitely won’t dare escalate matters there.”

Qin Chen shook his head: ”Brother Wang, we can’t escape.”

Wang Houyun understood as well.

But knowing it only made his heart more anxious.

”At least it offers a chance. These guys not only want the Human Pattern Golden Ginseng and Ksitigarbha Water Orchid from us, but they also want to do us harm.”

Wang Houyun knew that even if they surrendered the ginseng and orchid, they would not be spared.

And they might be humiliated further.

Of course, Wang Houyun wouldn’t do such a thing. Representing the Saber Saint Cliff, they couldn’t disgrace themselves while outside.

”Qin Chen.”

In this tense moment, a man in a python robe suddenly spoke.

”Bei Ming Dynasty, Zuo Yii.”

At the sight of the speaker, many were startled in their hearts.

Qian State has two large dynasties, Bei Ming Dynasty and Saint Green Dynasty.

The strength of a large dynasty is incomparable to a medium one; both Bei Ming Dynasty and Saint Green Dynasty contend with the top powers of Qian State.

Only Bei Ming Dynasty and Saint Green Dynasty boast such strength in Qian State.

The other dynasties, frankly speaking, can be obliterated at an instant by a top force’s command.

Moreover, the history of Bei Ming Dynasty and Saint Green Dynasty spans over five thousand years, with profound foundations.

Zuo Yii, a royal descendant of Bei Ming Dynasty, was born with a Golden Key in his mouth.

The enduring legacy of Bei Ming Dynasty surely has its reasons.

All royal descendants practice a Cultivation Technique known as ”Beiming Divine Skill,” granting them power from the first Emperor of Bei Ming, the Beiming Ancestor God.

”It’s rumored Zuo Yii has cultivated the Beiming Divine Skill to the Tenth Level Realm—true or false?”

”Likely so. Neither Huangfu Ming nor Ming Han could rival him.”

”Now I’m curious about Zuo Yii’s intentions. Does he intend to help Qin Chen?”
