Supreme Devouring God-Chapter 1236: The Incident at Demon Peak

"Why is it that a new Sect Leader was changed within just a month? Isn’t this too hasty?"

Qin Chen frowned.

The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect isn’t a small sect!

And as the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, it’s an existence that attracts worldwide attention. Changing the Sect Leader in merely a month’s time seems rather frivolous, doesn’t it?

"I don’t really know the specific reason."

"I only know that the position of Sect Leader was voluntarily passed from Master Ouyang to Master Li."

"At that time, it caused quite a stir within the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect."

"Even because Master Ouyang had just held the enthronement ceremony, to change the Sect Leader a month later, Master Li is the only one in our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect’s history who hasn’t held an enthronement ceremony as Sect Leader."

Qin Chen could understand.

The enthronement ceremony of the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect must be a world-renowned event, attracting attention from all directions, but to hold it twice in a month is indeed not very good.

However, Qin Chen was still a bit surprised that the position of Sect Leader was voluntarily passed by Ouyang Zhou to the current Sect Leader Li Guangxuan.

He couldn’t understand why Ouyang Zhou would give up the position of Sect Leader and retreat to a place like the Blood Continent Islands.

"Does Elder Tang know why Master Ouyang passed the position so quickly?"

Although Qin Chen knew that Tang Cang might not know about such secrets, he still asked.

As expected, upon hearing this, Tang Cang shook his head.

"I’ve only heard a rumor that it has some relation to the Royal Family, beyond that, I don’t know anything."

"I’m even uncertain if Master Ouyang is still alive today."

"The time of the succession was the last time I saw Master Ouyang," Tang Cang said.

"The Royal Family?" Qin Chen’s frown deepened.

This is indeed somewhat chaotic.

But it’s apparent that this is a huge cauldron of confusion, with surely some earth-shattering secrets within.

Perhaps he should visit Blood Continent Islands.

After all, he promised Ouyang Zhou, but the specifics of what Ouyang Zhou wanted Qin Chen to do, Qin Chen was still completely unaware.

Qin Chen felt that since Ouyang Zhou wanted to use him, shouldn’t he be informed of something?

Otherwise, although Ouyang Zhou had been kind to Qin Chen, this favor alone couldn’t make Qin Chen exhaust everything.

Now having understood this far, Qin Chen felt like he was being used as a pawn by Ouyang Zhou.

If that really were the case, then Qin Chen naturally needs to quickly find a way to break this predicament.

The thing he detests most is being used as a pawn by others.

"You’re suddenly asking so many questions about Master Ouyang. Could it be that you’ve met Master Ouyang before?"

Tang Cang looked at Qin Chen with some confusion.

"I was just curious, it seems I’ve never heard anything about Master Ouyang at the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect before, while I’ve heard some things about the other Sect Leaders."

Qin Chen casually came up with an excuse.

Although Tang Cang might be a trustworthy person.

However, the matter involving Ouyang Zhou is far too significant, Qin Chen naturally cannot reveal it casually, otherwise, it might bring disaster upon Tang Cang, who knows.

Tang Cang, upon hearing this, either believed it or not, anyway, he didn’t continue asking.

"By the way, let me tell you something. I’m planning to participate in the Competition for Thrones and the Ranking Ceremony." Qin Chen said with a smile.

"Ah?" Tang Cang was instantly shocked.

"Qin Chen, although you’ve demonstrated extraordinary strength by defeating Dong Xiaotian and the other two, your current strength is still too weak."

"Someone with strength like Dong Xiaotian, in our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, any Golden Robed Disciple could compete with him."

"You’re the Saint Heir of our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect! If you participate, you will surely become a target for external forces!" Tang Cang said.

"So I plan to go through the process just like others."

"Moreover, the Vice Sect Leader has already agreed to my request to participate." Qin Chen said with a smile.

"But..."

Tang Cang’s face was full of worry, yet he didn’t know what to say, finally, he sighed heavily.

"Why are you so hasty?"

"With your potential, making a name for yourself is just a matter of time." Tang Cang said.

"Is there anything more precious than time?" Qin Chen countered.

"Uh—" Tang Cang was momentarily speechless.

"There’s still twenty days until the Competition for Thrones starts, during this time, I’m planning to cultivate intensively at Demon Peak," Qin Chen said.

"Demon Peak?" Tang Cang’s expression slightly changed upon hearing Qin Chen mention Demon Peak.

"What’s wrong?"

Qin Chen felt uneasy, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Some things have happened during your absence."

"Demon Peak is now occupied by certain individuals," Tang Cang said.

"What?!"

Qin Chen was utterly astonished, his eyes widened.

"What about Chu Xun and the others? And isn’t the Heavenly Blade Sect’s Law Enforcement Team dealing with this?"

The tone of Qin Chen carried hints of anger.

"Chu Xun and the others have returned to the worst area of the White Robe Peak, Bai Ming District."

"As for the Law Enforcement Team you mentioned, although this matter indeed violates the rules of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect."

"But the ones occupying Demon Peak are members of the Feather Alliance, and even if the Law Enforcement Team desires to enforce justice, it’s not that easy. At least as long as no one’s dead, the Law Enforcement Team absolutely doesn’t want to get enmity with the Feather Alliance."

"Feather Alliance? A force made up of numerous disciples from the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, and the Law Enforcement Team even fears them?"

Qin Chen found it perplexing.

"You have no idea about Yu TianQee’s status in the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect."

"Even I dare not offend him carelessly, otherwise if he schemes in secret, I might not even know how I died."

"That’s also why I haven’t intervened either."

"Although the Law Enforcement Team has immense power within the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, they also don’t wish to provoke the Feather Alliance over a few White Robed Disciples."

"In fact, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened, and many times, facing the Feather Alliance breaking the rules, the Law Enforcement Team has chosen to turn a blind eye." Tang Cang explained.

"Haha."

Qin Chen chuckled upon hearing this.

He found it somewhat amusing.

He finally understood.

This so-called Law Enforcement Team might just be a mere showpiece.

"What a Law Enforcement Team." Qin Chen sneered sarcastically.

Chu Xun and others were expelled, his own Demon Peak was occupied, the Law Enforcement Team turned a blind eye, but Qin Chen undoubtedly won’t!

Seeing the cold gleam deep within Qin Chen’s eyes, even Tang Cang involuntarily shivered.

"Although the fault is on their side in this matter."

"But after all, they’re the Feather Alliance, so you must be careful in your actions and not go overboard."

"Otherwise, things will be hard to resolve." Tang Cang advised.

"Don’t worry, Elder Tang."

"I will definitely handle this matter properly."

A hint of smile appeared at Qin Chen’s lips, but the teeth revealed an icy white frost!
