Supreme Devouring God

Great Star Palace.

”Your Majesty, haven’t you found any news about Qin Chen yet?”

”That fellow is young, yet managed to escape from the palace. If allowed to develop, he is sure to become a major threat.”

The speaker was an elderly man with a sharp nose and monkey-like cheeks, named ’Zeng Hai’, the president of the Great Star Dynasty’s foremost commerce, ’Hongtu Commerce’.

On the day Qin Chen broke into the palace to rescue Lin Songyun, one of Hongtu Commerce’s vice presidents, ’Wang Xinxu’, had a significant conflict with Qin Chen.

After Zeng Hai learned of this, he severely reprimanded Wang Xinxu.

Wang Xinxu felt very aggrieved.

He truly didn’t expect Qin Chen would actually be able to escape the Great Star Palace that day.

Zeng Hai was worried Qin Chen would retaliate against Hongtu Commerce because of this.

Therefore, he had been wanting to unite with the Great Star Imperial Family to deal with Qin Chen in recent days.

However, Qian State is just too vast.

In the grand scale of Qian State, the Great Star Dynasty is but as insignificant as an ant.

They still don’t know where Qin Chen currently is.

Star Emperor said, ”According to the news I received, it’s possible he joined the Saber Saint Cliff.”

”What!”

Zeng Hai’s face darkened.

Saber Saint Cliff, to them, was nothing but a colossus.

But he immediately added, ”Your Majesty, we can’t wait any longer. Saber Saint Cliff is the number one sword cultivator sect in Qian State, and he himself is a sword cultivator. Given time, I’m afraid he will return to kill us.”

”Even if he is now a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff, we must eliminate him while he is still obscure.”

”To prevent any future trouble.”

Star Emperor understood that Qin Chen was now a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff.

But he didn’t grasp the full picture.

He didn’t know that Qin Chen was not only a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff but also its first ’Nine Rings Genius’ in history.

He was also the second disciple of Dream Saber Lord, the only junior of Ye Wutian.

Moreover, Qin Chen had acquired another new identity.

Inheritor of the Ancestor God of Wind Sound Ancient Clan.

If he knew all this, Star Emperor might announce unconditional submission to the Great Origin Dynasty on the spot.

Star Emperor said, ”Only knowing his identity doesn’t help in pinpointing his location. Furthermore, I have a feeling this young man is not simple.”

Zeng Hai raised an eyebrow, ”How does Your Majesty mean?”

Star Emperor said, ”After he escaped from the Great Star Dynasty, I wiped out everything connected to him, be it people or forces.”

”Even the Great Star Telekinesis Master Association became a part of history.”

”Yet only the Great Origin Dynasty has been so hard to take down.”

Zeng Hai questioned in surprise, ”From what I know, the Great Origin Dynasty is just a small dynasty. With a full-force assault, how could it withstand the Great Star army? Why has it been so difficult to conquer?”

Star Emperor said, ”That’s one of the suspicious points. It’s as if a large hand is protecting the Great Origin Dynasty. We’ve launched several campaigns to take over but all have failed.”

Zeng Hai squinted his eyes, ”Does Your Majesty suspect that this young man has a protector behind him? But even if he is a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff, they wouldn’t necessarily protect the Great Origin Dynasty, would they?”

Star Emperor said, ”That’s exactly what I can’t figure out, but indeed, he is truly a menace.”

”As long as he lives a day, my heart won’t be at peace for a day.”

”I am already prepared to contact my trusted friend.”

Zeng Hai couldn’t help but ask, ”Your Majesty’s trusted friend is?”

He just knew, being the master of Great Star, Star Emperor surely had ways to deal with Qin Chen.

Conversely, although Hongtu Commerce was as wealthy as a nation, its influence was limited within the Great Star Dynasty.

Star Emperor said, ”Saint Green Dynasty, Muv Bo, do you know him?”

Zeng Hai furrowed his eyebrows, recollecting carefully, and shook his head, ”Apologies, Your Majesty, I do not know.”

Star Emperor continued, ”Then what about Muv Yuan?”

Zeng Hai’s expression suddenly changed, ”Is Your Majesty referring to Muv Yuan, one of the Heavy Ministers under the Green Emperor of Saint Green Dynasty?!”

Star Emperor nodded.

Zeng Hai was somewhat astonished, then asked, ”Could it be that ’Muv Bo’ Your Majesty mentioned is related to ’Lord Muv Yuan’?”

Star Emperor said, ”Muv Bo is Muv Yuan’s younger brother.”

Zeng Hai couldn’t help but gasp.

He was truly shocked.

He expected Star Emperor to have significant hidden cards but never imagined them to be so grand!

To actually be acquaintances with Muv Yuan’s younger brother!

Saint Green Dynasty; that truly is the Great Star Dynasty!

To be the Green Emperor, master of the Saint Green Dynasty; what kind of person is that?

With a mere stomp, it could shake Qian State thrice.

Muv Yuan is one of the three Heavy Ministers under the Green Emperor, with immense authority.

In this way, even if Muv Bo is a wastrel, the leverage he could borrow is significant.

At least, killing an ordinary Saber Saint Cliff disciple would be child’s play.

Star Emperor said, ”I really don’t wish to use this connection, for accomplishing this would mean that I owe him a huge favor, which I will have to find a way to repay sooner or later.”

”But to solidify the foundation of my Great Star, there is no other choice.”

Zeng Hai was filled with joy, ”Your Majesty is extremely wise, eliminating a hidden threat in exchange for Great Star’s infinite future—it is very much worth it.”

If Qin Chen were to die, he could be at peace.

And he didn’t have to pay anything, just had to say a few more words.

Absolutely satisfying.

Star Emperor glanced at Zeng Hai, ”I heard your Hongtu Commerce has been doing quite well in trade lately?”

Zeng Hai immediately said, ”Responding to Your Majesty, it’s only minor achievements. If Your Majesty needs my Hongtu Commerce for anything, I, Zeng Hai, will do my utmost.”

Star Emperor shook his head, ”No need, no need, we’ve known each other for so long, we’re old friends.”

”But because our attack on the Great Origin Dynasty was unsuccessful, our treasury has been greatly depleted. I wonder, since President Zeng is so adept at commerce, do you have any ideas?”

Zeng Hai understood instantly, inwardly cursing this old fox.

This was because he hadn’t done anything, and it left the old fox feeling uncomfortable, wanting to extract some benefits from him.

He instantly said, ”Hongtu Commerce is willing to contribute ten billion Elemental Crystals to fill the treasury.”

Star Emperor waved his hand, ”That’s not what I meant.”

”Twenty billion,” Zeng Hai said.

Star Emperor finally showed a smile, ”Ah, I truly didn’t mean that, but seeing President Zeng’s sincerity and enthusiasm, if I don’t accept your goodwill, it would appear I lack manners.”

”Given that, I’ll leave it to President Zeng.”

Zeng Hai’s heart was bleeding.

Twenty billion Elemental Crystals is absolutely not a small amount.

This old fellow has certainly tricked him.

But thinking that twenty billion Elemental Crystals in exchange for Hongtu Commerce’s safety, Zeng Hai gritted his teeth and felt it was worth it.

After all, money could be earned again if lost.

The most terrifying thing would be if life is lost, then truly nothing remains.

At this moment.

Qin Chen and his companions, riding on the Wind Traveling Beast of the Wind Sound Ancient Clan, had already arrived above the Great Star Dynasty.

Looking down, there was a magnificent cluster of buildings.

It was precisely the Great Star Palace.

Four months have passed, now returning, everything seems so familiar.

”Great Star Dynasty, I, Qin Chen, have returned.”
