Supreme Devouring God

Qin Chen’s expression was grave.

He did not doubt Ye Wutian’s words at all.

Up until now, the Qian State Prefecture had not erupted into a major conflict with the Zen Heart Dragon Palace; it’s merely the calm before the storm.

Ye Wutian suddenly smiled and said, ”Little junior brother, I heard that when you went to Dao Village earlier, Lord Ziran wanted to invite you to become the Dao Son of Dao Village, but you refused?”

Qin Chen nodded.

Ye Wutian said with a smile, ”How prestigious the title of Dao Son is; once you become one, you can amass countless cultivation resources. Dao Village’s Dao Medicine is exceptional. Why did you refuse?”

Qin Chen replied, ”Cultivation resources are important, but one must resist temptation. Besides, isn’t it about not wanting to leave senior brother and senior sister?”

A smile appeared on Qin Chen’s face.

Su Yihuan also smiled and said, ”Little junior brother is great.”

The next moment, when she turned to Ye Wutian, her expression changed immediately, extremely cold: ”Learn from him.”

Ye Wutian looked despondent.

Qin Chen and Lin Songyun exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but laugh.

The way the senior sister and senior brother interact is truly unique.

However, they both know that they deeply love each other. Perhaps this is Su Yihuan’s unique expression of love?

The group waited outside the Nine Palaces Ancient Land.

After a night had passed.

On the morning of the second day.

Qin Chen’s Wind Sound Divine Ear twitched slightly, and his eyes turned to the Nine Palaces Ancient Land.

”Someone is coming out from the Nine Palaces Ancient Land.”

Qin Chen’s expression became tense.

Ye Wutian raised his eyebrows: ”Is it Yang Xiao?”

He looked over.

After a moment, the figure appeared in everyone’s view.

It was indeed Yang Xiao.

Only, Yang Xiao at the moment looked somewhat disheveled, clothes tattered, but no particularly serious injuries could be seen.

Zuo Qianhao was the first to approach him, urgently asking Yang Xiao: ”How was it?”

Yang Xiao seemed very tired, sitting down immediately and then said, ”There is some danger inside, but to you legends, it’s hardly worth mentioning, as even I could handle it.”

Zuo Qianhao asked again: ”Did you see the Nine Palace Key?”

Yang Xiao shook his head: ”I haven’t completely traversed the Nine Palaces Ancient Land; I reckon the Nine Palace Key is still deeper inside. I hurried out to inform everyone of the situation within the ancient land.”

Everyone slightly furrowed their brows.

This eerie Nine Palaces Ancient Land isn’t actually as dangerous as they imagined, were they overthinking?

Zuo Qianhao asked: ”What danger did you mention?”

Yang Xiao replied: ”Demon Beasts, mostly at the Tribulation Transformation Realm, occasionally Dao King level Demon Beasts.”

Zuo Qianhao pondered: ”Earlier, the one who entered from our Beiming Dynasty had only Tribulation Transformation Realm cultivation; it appears that he died at the hands of the Demon Beasts.”

Chen Tian said: ”Since that’s the case, there’s no reason to hesitate anymore. Even if there are Dao King level Demon Beasts, if we work together, we can handle them. Time is of the essence; I suggest we enter the Nine Palaces Ancient Land immediately to search for the Nine Palace Key.”

Qin Chen kept his gaze fixed on Yang Xiao.

For some reason, he always felt something was off about Yang Xiao.

He seemed too carefree.

Earlier, Yang Xiao had exhibited some apprehension facing several legends.

Zuo Qianhao looked at Ye Wutian and Qian Ziyu: ”What do you two think?”

Ye Wutian nodded: ”I agree.”

Qian Ziyu also nodded slightly.

Seeing this, everyone promptly expressed their willingness to enter the Nine Palaces Ancient Land immediately.

Ye Wutian’s gaze fell on Yang Xiao: ”Lead the way.”

”Alright.”

Yang Xiao agreed readily, stood up, and said to Ye Wutian and the others: ”Follow me.”

Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

If he felt Yang Xiao was off earlier, now he believed Yang Xiao was quite abnormal.

Earlier, when asked to enter the Nine Palaces Ancient Land, he had been very reluctant.

Now, having barely come out, he was asked to go back in, and he didn’t object, even readily agreeing.

However, upon carefully observing, Qin Chen found nothing wrong. It was indeed Yang Xiao.

”Be careful.”

Ye Wutian cautioned Qin Chen in a low voice.

Qin Chen realized that the senior brother also thought something was off about Yang Xiao.

But the arrow is on the string, and must be released.

Everyone followed Yang Xiao, gradually entering the Nine Palaces Ancient Land.

The ancient land was quite eerie.

Cold, chilling winds gusted constantly, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

Everyone was very cautious.

Instead, Yang Xiao seemed to move as if in his own home, familiar with the path, without a trace of fear on his face.

”Boom, boom, boom!”

Suddenly, a great gust of chilling wind surged from between a mountain path ahead, like a storm, roaring forth.

Qin Chen heard Ye Wutian’s voice ring in his ear: ”Watch out!”

Qin Chen held Lin Songyun’s hand, activating the Mystic Turtle Divine Armor Technique to protect himself while Lin Songyun activated the Earth Chaos Map.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

The extremely cold wind was indeed bone-chilling.

Even though Qin Chen used the Mystic Turtle Divine Armor Technique, he couldn’t help but shudder.

Suddenly, Little Fairy’s voice echoed in his mind: ”Quickly, leave! Don’t just stand there!”

Qin Chen was about to leave with Lin Songyun, but then he felt something was very wrong; Lin Songyun, who was standing next to him, was gone.

The chilling wind whistled like a harbinger of doom, causing Qin Chen’s scalp to prick with fear.

”What is going on?!”

Not just Lin Songyun.

Ye Wutian, Su Yihuan, and everyone else had disappeared as well.

Mysteriously, only he was left alone!

Little Fairy’s voice was urgent: ”Don’t linger, leave the cold wind!”

Qin Chen’s face looked exceptionally grim, but he trusted Little Fairy; perhaps time was pressing, and Little Fairy didn’t have time to explain.

”Small Movement Technique!”

Qin Chen’s figure flashed, attempting to withdraw from the eerie wind.

Yet Qin Chen felt as if his entire body was bound by thousands of hands; he found himself immobile, his limbs seemingly stiffening.

This reaction sent a shudder through Qin Chen’s heart.

”Boom!”

He immediately activated his Divine-level Dao Body, fully energizing the Flying Dragon Bloodline, and with a dragon’s roar, Qin Chen escaped the piercing wind.

He stood among the large trees, noticing that the surrounding scenery had inexplicably turned unfamiliar.

As if he had arrived in another place.

Moreover, his clothes were also somewhat torn, and Qin Chen even noticed inexplicable black claw marks, as if something had been clawing at him.

Yet, moments ago, there had only been an eerie wind, where could there have been creatures?

Most of all.

Now, only Qin Chen remained here!

Around, not a soul!

And it was exceedingly quiet, quiet to such an eerie and creepy extent.

The discovery made Qin Chen feel a chilling breeze penetrate his soles and ascend into his body, making his heart tremble.

”What...what exactly is happening?!”
