Supreme Devouring God

"Elder Huangfu!"

Hearing Huangfu Xuanming’s response, Huangfu Ming collapsed.

If even the Huangfu Family wouldn’t protect him, who else could he rely on?

What kind of doom awaited him?

Lord Ziran’s eyes fixed on Huangfu Ming, "You said earlier you wanted to explain. The Dao Village does things to convince the people, so I’ll give you the chance to explain."

Huangfu Ming desperately organized his words, "Although I carry this Daoist Origin Stone, I haven’t used its power."

"Do you think I’m senile because I’m old?!"

Lord Ziran erupted in fury.

For many, this was the first time seeing Lord Ziran so angry.

Usually, Lord Ziran was very peaceful.

Yet now, he couldn’t help but get angry.

This was enough to show how much Huangfu Ming had infuriated him.

"It seems the last incident of cheating with the Daoist Origin Stone didn’t serve as a lesson or warning."

"If so, waste his cultivation, hang him on Eagle Peak, let the sharp-beaked eagles peck at him, and give him a life-sustaining Dao Pill daily to keep him alive."

Lord Ziran spoke calmly, chilling the hearts of many.

Truly, a fate worse than death.

Huangfu Ming’s legs gave out, and he knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"No! Don’t! I know I was wrong, I admit, I admit I used the Daoist Origin Stone to cheat."

"But I just wanted to prove myself."

The sharp-beaked eagle was a type of eagle with an extremely sharp beak, whose pecking hurt more than being pierced by a sharp needle.

To let the sharp-beaked eagles peck him, bite by bite, Huangfu Ming couldn’t even imagine.

Most importantly, Lord Ziran would ensure he wouldn’t easily die, prolonging his life.

This was entirely a plan to make him feel like living a lifetime in just days.

"Is this how you prove yourself? Then today, let’s use this method to also prove just how foolish your methods are."

Lord Ziran waved his hand, and several members of Dao Village immediately stepped forward, first dragging Huangfu Ming out of the Dao Pond.

Punishing Huangfu Ming inside the Dao Pond was avoided to keep his blood from dirtying it.

"Bang!"

In front of everyone.

Xue Ningjun’s body transformed into a bolt of lightning, shattering Huangfu Ming’s dantian with a single punch.

As his dantian shattered, the Yuanhua within withered to the naked eye, followed by a rapid loss of elemental power.

"No!!!"

Huangfu Ming let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Feeling the power continuously leaving his body, he couldn’t accept it.

Decades of cultivation, destroyed in a day.

How could he accept this?

The most crucial thing.

What awaited him was still a future of hellish torment.

But no one present showed any sympathy.

This was the price to pay.

Some actions simply left no room for regret.

When Huangfu Ming cheated with the Daoist Origin Stone, he should have anticipated this day.

The most laughable part.

He could have originally gotten away with it.

But because he was too agitated, questioning Qin Chen, the Daoist Origin Stone eventually rolled out, leaving him in a dire situation.

No one harmed him.

He harmed himself.

Who else could he blame?

"Take him to Eagle Peak."

Xue Ningjun’s expression was cold, while Huangfu Xuanming kept his face down, not looking.

If he chose to protect Huangfu Ming today, not to mention the possible outbreak between Dao Village and the Huangfu Family,

none of them would likely leave Dao Village.

There was no reason for it since Huangfu Ming committed a serious taboo against Dao Village.

Several members of Dao Village immediately hoisted the now lifeless and hollow-eyed Huangfu Ming, leading him further away.

Lord Ziran spoke, "From today onwards, Dao Village will cancel all cooperation with the Huangfu Family."

"Everyone from the Huangfu Family, hand over everything you obtained at Dao Village and immediately get out!"

Huangfu Xuanming’s face turned pale.

Indeed, their Huangfu Family was implicated as well.

"Bastard!"

Huangfu Xuanming cursed Huangfu Ming in his heart.

This guy had ruined it for everyone!

Having one more friend was always better than one more enemy.

Prior to this, the Huangfu Family and Dao Village were friends.

But from this moment on, the relationship between Dao Village and the Huangfu Family became very delicate.

At the very least, the Huangfu Family wouldn’t get the slightest help from Dao Village in the future.

But what could Huangfu Xuanming do?

They could only obediently hand over everything they had acquired at Dao Village, resentful and angry but leaving Dao Village in disgrace.

As Huangfu Xuanming led the Huangfu Family disciples away,

Lord Ziran sternly declared, "From today, if anyone from the Huangfu Family dares to set foot half a step into Dao Village, our Dao Village will kill without mercy!"

Huangfu Xuanming shuddered; this meant the total severance between Dao Village and the Huangfu Family.

"After the Death God Hall, yet another force severed by Dao Village."

Someone remarked.

The previous Daoist Origin Stone incident involved a disciple from the Death God Hall, culminating in a similar conclusion.

Dao Village’s handling of such matters was extremely decisive and firm.

No room for negotiation.

Unless they could shake Dao Village.

However, putting aside other factors,

even a single great Dao God was enough to make many forces hesitate.

Not to mention top-level masters like Lord Ziran are present as well as legendary prodigies like Qian Ziyu.

"Thank you all for coming to Dao Village to participate in the Dao God’s ritual."

Lord Ziran adjusted his mood.

Many voices hurriedly responded with courtesy.

After these words, Lord Ziran then left the scene with Qian Ziyu.

Xue Ningjun immediately stepped forward and smiled, "Everyone, if you need anything, just tell me."

"Although the Dao God ritual is over, if anyone still wants to visit our Dao Village, we are very welcoming."

Evidently, no one planned to stay after the ritual.

Xue Ningjun’s words also conveyed that Dao Village was indeed very friendly and amicable to outsiders.

"Time to return to Saber Saint Cliff."

Qin Chen was very eager; naturally, there were Dao Pearls within the Cloud Group.

There were also other things that Su Jingchen temporarily hadn’t had time to ponder.

He glanced at Han Xinkui, still frozen by the Ice Flood Dragon King Blood within the God Devouring Crystal, thinking silently, Xinkui, you’ll soon be saved.

"Qin Chen."

Suddenly, a voice called out.

Qin Chen looked over.

It was Yuan Sha.

Qin Chen only glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, saying to Lin Songyun and Wang Houyun, "Let’s go."

Yuan Sha immediately said, "I’m preparing to return to the Sect right away, why don’t you join me to the Spiritual Beast Grassland to ride the Eight-winged Green Eagle?"

It was clear.

This was an olive branch extended to Qin Chen.

Moreover, he showed no emotions despite being initially ignored by Qin Chen.

Yuan Sha regretted it!

Very, very much regretted it!

Especially after seeing Qin Chen gain ten thousand strands of Daoist God Light and being personally chosen by the Dao God, the regret was even more intense.

However.

Does Qin Chen need Yuan Sha’s goodwill?

Clearly, he does not!
