Supreme Devouring God

”A disciple of Saber Saint Cliff?”

Yi Qian chuckled, his eyes fixed on Yuan Sha: ”Do you know what the Eight Great Legends signify in Qian State?”

He understood that Yuan Sha was obviously displeased with Ye Wutian, but Ye Wutian was far more than just a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff.

Yuan Sha said: ”The Eight Great Legends are the future of Qian State.”

”Then do you know what it means for Ye Wutian to squeeze into the Eight Great Legends? And for our Saber Saint Cliff, what does Ye Wutian mean?”

Yi Qian’s voice gradually became serious.

”But this person is somewhat arrogant; I don’t have high hopes for him,” Yuan Sha said.

Yi Qian chuckled again: ”Yuan Sha, do you think Ye Wutian needs you to have high hopes for him? The entire Qian State has high hopes for him, but you don’t?”

Yuan Sha didn’t expect Yi Qian to speak up for Ye Wutian and said: ”Palace Master, our First Palace is the strongest palace of Saber Saint Cliff, and Ye Wutian is a disciple of the Ninth Palace. What does it matter if you have high hopes for him?”

”I believe that in time, several of our top Heavenly Prides from the First Palace will surely surpass Ye Wutian.”

Yi Qian shook his head: ”You’re still not listening to what I said.”

”Ye Wutian represents Saber Saint Cliff.”

”He is the banner bearer of the younger generation of Saber Saint Cliff. Without him, do you think our Saber Saint Cliff could remain steadily among the top forces in Qian State?”

Yuan Sha felt a bit apprehensive.

”Palace Master, aren’t you exaggerating a bit? In other words, without Ye Wutian, would our Saber Saint Cliff be kicked out of the top forces?”

”I recall that one of the large dynasties, the ’Saint Green Dynasty’, doesn’t have a Heavenly Pride among the Eight Great Legends, yet who can shake the position of the Saint Green Dynasty?”

Yuan Sha retorted.

Yi Qian said: ”Do you think our Saber Saint Cliff can currently compare to the Saint Green Dynasty?”

”Over the years, the Cliff Master has been too stubborn, always insisting on considering the character of Heavenly Prides first before their talent, causing the overall level of Heavenly Prides at Saber Saint Cliff to rapidly decline.”

”Without Ye Wutian, do you think the other top forces would spare Saber Saint Cliff?”

Yuan Sha fell silent.

He only learned today that there was so much more to this.

Yi Qian said: ”You can underestimate anyone, but never underestimate Ye Wutian. He is now crucial to Saber Saint Cliff during this period.”

Yuan Sha’s face looked ugly: ”If he were to find out about me making a move against Qin Chen in Dao Village, wouldn’t I be doomed?”

Why didn’t Yuan Sha fear Ye Wutian before?

Because Yuan Sha felt that if Ye Wutian made a move against him, only Ye Wutian would suffer.

After all, he is a Daoist King.

But now the situation is special. Ye Wutian doesn’t necessarily need to make a move himself, he can leverage others, which has started to worry Yuan Sha.

Yi Qian pondered for a moment.

”It’s not that serious, after all, you are one of the Vice Palace Masters of my First Palace. Just stay here with me for the next few days.”

”Alright.”

Yuan Sha quickly nodded.

Yi Qian reminded: ”Remember, never underestimate Ye Wutian in the future, and also don’t provoke Qin Chen anymore.”

”At least, don’t provoke them openly.”

”After all, don’t forget, behind the two of them stands the Dream Saber Lord.”

Previously, during the settlement of the Cliff Entrance Battle, he had his share of friction with Qin Chen, so he actually didn’t have a great impression of Qin Chen either.

But he wouldn’t be as foolish as Yuan Sha to openly confront Qin Chen.

Yuan Sha nodded: ”I understand.”

...

Three days later.

Xue Ningjun rode the Wind Chasing Bird down at the mountain gate of Saber Saint Cliff.

The Wind Chasing Bird, being a flying demon beast from Dao Village, naturally couldn’t fly into Saber Saint Cliff like the Eight-winged Green Eagle, or else it would be killed by Saber Saint Cliff.

But even so.

The arrival of the Wind Chasing Bird still caused a stir.

Saber Saint Cliff immediately had figures rushing out to inquire about the situation.

Upon seeing it was Qin Chen and others, a conflict was avoided.

Qin Chen and Lin Songyun had performed remarkably in the Cliff Entrance Battle; many people knew of them.

”Thank you, Uncle Xue.”

Stepping down from the Wind Chasing Bird, Qin Chen said to Xue Ningjun.

Xue Ningjun waved his hand: ”There’s no need for thanks, I’ve stayed in Dao Village for too long, so it’s nice to get some fresh air, and besides, it’s the Wind Chasing Bird flying the entire way; I’ve been resting the whole time, so it’s not tiring at all.”

”Does Uncle Xue want to come with me to Saber Saint Cliff for a visit?” Qin Chen said with a smile.

Xue Ningjun thought for a moment, then shook his head: ”I would like to meet the Dream Saber Lord, but thinking that the Dream Saber Lord surely won’t see me, I’d rather not disappoint myself.”

Qin Chen didn’t persuade anyone.

Not to mention outsiders.

The Ninth Palace is forbidden even to other disciples of Saber Saint Cliff.

”Uncle Xue, take care on your return trip.” Qin Chen said.

Xue Ningjun nodded: ”Rest assured, I am a Daoist King; no one dares to stir up trouble in front of me. It’s you all who should cultivate well. I’m looking forward to seeing what strength you will have next time we meet.”

Watching Xue Ningjun depart, Qin Chen, Lin Songyun, and Wang Houyun headed to Saber Saint Cliff.

”Our Saber Saint Cliff is truly wonderful.”

Setting foot on the land of Saber Saint Cliff, Wang Houyun sighed.

The trip to Dao Village, though not long, was indeed very perilous, and Wang Houyun also suffered quite a bit.

”Junior Brother!”

Just as Qin Chen had reached Saber Saint Cliff, preparing to part ways with Wang Houyun, a familiar voice came over.

Qin Chen looked over and instantly smiled.

”Senior Brother, Senior Sister.”

The visitors were Ye Wutian and Su Yihuan.

Turns out, they’d always been having the guards at Saber Saint Cliff keep an eye on the movements of Qin Chen and the others, and once Qin Chen’s arrival at Saber Saint Cliff was reported, the news quickly reached Ye Wutian.

Ye Wutian promptly rushed over.

”Your strength seems to have improved quite a bit?”

Ye Wutian could sense that Qin Chen had grown stronger.

Qin Chen smiled: ”Indeed, Dao Village is certainly a good place.”

Lin Songyun then looked at Su Yihuan: ”Seventh Palace disciple Lin Songyun pays respect to Senior Sister Su, thank you, Senior Sister, for the Little Red Immortal Silk you gave me, I really like it.”

This was also the first time Su Yihuan met Lin Songyun. Seeing the pure and enchanting Lin Songyun, she also liked her and smiled: ”I’m glad you like it.”

”I now vaguely understand why Qin Chen likes you.”

”Your minty cool, spring water clarity-like temperament is truly rare, even Tang Haiyao and Kong Xinyue from the Seventh Palace can’t compare to you.”

Lin Songyun laughed: ”Senior Sister is also very beautiful; Senior Brother must be very fortunate.”

Su Yihuan glanced at Ye Wutian and snorted lightly.

Everything was understood without words.

Ye Wutian said: ”By the way, Junior Brother, why didn’t you return with Vice Palace Master Yuan Sha and the others?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen hadn’t reacted much.

But Wang Houyun’s face showed an angry expression.

Ye Wutian immediately felt something was amiss and looked at Wang Houyun: ”Tell me, what really happened in Dao Village.”
