Supreme Devouring God

"To be honest, Huangfu Ming is going a bit too far."

"Yeah, he couldn’t beat someone, and now he wants to use power to crush people. What kind of skill is that?"

"Dao Village is in a tough spot now. If they drive him away, it’s equal to offending Saber Saint Cliff at the same time. I wonder what choice Dao Village will make."

"Sigh, sometimes it’s just like this. Huangfu Ming is blatantly bullying people."

...

Many people spoke up for Qin Chen.

Huangfu Ming really was bullying people a bit too much.

And it was blatant, out-in-the-open bullying.

A sliver of coldness flashed deep in Lord Ziran’s eyes.

No matter what.

Today was a ritual to worship the Dao God.

At such a solemn occasion, Huangfu Ming had undoubtedly shattered the solemn atmosphere.

But it had to be said.

Huangfu Ming’s result really did force Lord Ziran to think carefully.

Huangfu Ming was also very ruthless.

He directly gave Lord Ziran two extreme choices.

"Damn it."

Wang Houyun was filled with anger.

But Qin Chen’s expression remained calm from beginning to end. He didn’t refute anything; he simply waited quietly for Lord Ziran’s decision.

Although Qin Chen very much needed the Dao Pearl.

But it wasn’t as if he couldn’t live without it. If he couldn’t get the Dao Pearl, he could think of another way to exchange for the Eternal Bone Building Fruit.

Right now he represented Saber Saint Cliff, represented the Ninth Palace of Saber Saint Cliff. If Lord Ziran wanted to drive him away, then Qin Chen absolutely would not plead even a single word; he would turn around and leave on the spot.

This had to do with face and dignity.

Yuan Sha stood to the side.

Although he was currently the leader of Saber Saint Cliff, he showed not the slightest intention of stepping out to ease the situation for Qin Chen, as if this matter simply had nothing to do with him.

"Even if Yuan Sha just went up and made a statement, it would be something."

Someone shook their head repeatedly.

At the very least, speaking up would put pressure on Lord Ziran.

Dao Village was strong, and Saber Saint Cliff was no weaker.

Gu Xuexuo shook his head. "I really don’t know whether it’s Saber Saint Cliff that’s too rotten, or just this Yuan Sha. A junior has already stretched his hand over to slap him in the face, and he still remains unmoved."

Qin Qi was furious. "Mountain Master Gu, is there any way we can help my big brother?"

Gu Xuexuo shook his head again. "There’s nothing we can do. This concerns Saber Saint Cliff, Dao Village, and the Huangfu Family. It’s not appropriate for our Heavenly God Mountain to interfere."

Qian Ziyu looked at Huangfu Ming and said, "Huangfu Ming, why must you push things to such an extreme? Do you really think that just because you lost once, you’ll lose to Qin Chen for the rest of your life?"

"Besides, today is the worship of the Dao God, a very solemn occasion. It’s not suitable for conflict."

The implied meaning was: if you have the ability, then settle this score yourself; what does it mean to be borrowing power to crush others now?

And Qian Ziyu had already made it clear that what Huangfu Ming was doing today was somewhat inappropriate.

But Huangfu Ming simply didn’t listen to Qian Ziyu’s words.

"So Dao Village is planning to refuse me, is that it?"

Not only did he not back down, he continued to pressure Lord Ziran.

Qian Ziyu’s brows immediately furrowed.

Everyone was quite astonished.

Huangfu Ming was really going all out; relying on his result, he was already acting utterly unrestrained.

Even Huangfu Xuanming felt that Huangfu Ming had gone a bit too far.

He sent a voice transmission to Huangfu Ming. "Huangfu Ming, let this matter end here. Give Lord Ziran a step down."

Huangfu Ming replied, "It’s not that I won’t give him a step down, it’s whether he’ll give me one. If he can’t even make such a simple decision, then he can forget about getting even the slightest help from me in the future."

Huangfu Xuanming felt a bit of a headache.

"Village Chief."

Qian Ziyu suddenly looked at Lord Ziran; Lord Ziran, brows tightly knit, also raised his head to look at him.

Qian Ziyu said, "May I make this choice in your stead?"

Lord Ziran was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "You may."

He truly didn’t know how to choose.

Since Qian Ziyu already had an answer, he might as well let Qian Ziyu make the decision.

Qian Ziyu looked at Huangfu Ming. "I’m sorry. We of Dao Village cannot agree to your request."

"Saber Saint Cliff came here at our invitation. If we were to drive them away, wouldn’t that be burning bridges after crossing the river? Though Dao Village greatly hopes to obtain your help, this kind of thing is not in line with Dao Village’s will."

His words were reasonable and well-founded, already showing the bearing of a future great leader.

Huangfu Ming’s expression froze at once!

It was even obvious that he was somewhat enraged.

He had actually been refused!

He glanced at Qin Chen. There was a bit of unwillingness in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

"This choice is the right one. Although Huangfu Ming would be a very good investment for Dao Village in the future, Qin Chen is not just a Disciple of Saber Saint Cliff; he is a Disciple of the Ninth Palace."

"If Dream Saber Lord and Ye Wutian were to learn of this, Dao Village would have a hard time explaining it to them."

"Huangfu Ming really was making things too difficult."

...

"It’s fine, Huangfu Ming. With you as the starting point, once that guy goes up later, he’ll only end up embarrassing himself."

Seeing that Huangfu Ming was in a foul mood, Huangfu Xuanming tried to comfort him.

Nobody knew what Huangfu Ming was thinking, and he didn’t respond to Huangfu Xuanming.

In truth.

Huangfu Ming’s ability to obtain the descent of five thousand strands of Daoist God Light.

Was not his personal strength at all.

He had cheated!

In his hand was a "Daoist Origin Stone," which contained an extremely vast amount of Power of Great Dao. Its function was to help a Martial Artist enhance their Great Dao Affinity.

In other words, those five thousand strands of Daoist God Light just now weren’t actually given to Huangfu Ming.

They were given to the Daoist Origin Stone!

Originally, Huangfu Ming hadn’t planned on doing this.

Because once something like this was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But when so many people around him looked down on him, not even sparing him a glance, he felt extremely unconvinced and used the Daoist Origin Stone.

And he succeeded.

He fooled everyone, including Lord Ziran.

He even used this afterward to threaten Lord Ziran.

No one would have imagined that Huangfu Ming would dare to go this far.

This was precisely what left Huangfu Ming depressed.

He bore such enormous pressure, and yet in the end he still failed to get what he wanted; of course he couldn’t feel happy.

Fortunately, he hadn’t been caught using the Daoist Origin Stone.

And at the very least, he had won attention, hadn’t he?

"Saber Saint Cliff."

Xue Ningjun spoke.

Perhaps because of what Huangfu Ming had done to target Qin Chen earlier.

This caused many gazes to fall on Qin Chen.

This guy had almost been kicked out of Dao Village.

No one knew whether the decision Qian Ziyu had made would prove worthwhile.

Yue Lintao and Tian Jiahan were the first to walk toward the Daoist God Stone Statue, but not many eyes turned to them; everyone’s attention was on Qin Chen.

"Big Brother, good luck."

Qin Qi waved his hand excitedly to cheer Qin Chen on.

Qin Chen smiled and nodded.

"Qin Chen."

Just then, a voice rang out. Qin Chen turned his head, a bit surprised.

Qian Ziyu smiled and said, "Do your best."

Qin Chen was slightly taken aback, then nodded lightly.
