Supreme Devouring God-Chapter 1364: Coerced Buying and Selling?

The Primordial Hall was built during the Star Summoning Dynasty.

It is divided into the Inner Hall and Outer Hall.

On ordinary days, the Inner Hall is not open to the public and hasn't been opened for a long time.

Only for this competition ceremony was it decided to open the Inner Hall.

The Outer Hall of the Primordial Hall has a large flow of people on a regular basis.

With the competition ceremony being held here, naturally, the flow of people increased significantly.

Its splendor is second only to the Chu Imperial City.

In the Outer Hall of the Primordial Hall, one of the Five Great Origin Clans, the 'Primordial Clan', is located here.

The Primordial Clan, like the Mu Clan, is an ancient clan with a thousand-year heritage.

Qin Chen and others arrived at the Primordial Hall via transmission array from the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect in no time.

From the outside, the Primordial Hall looks like a vast ancient relic, akin to the Sea Sky Divine Palace Qin Chen saw at the Blood Continent Islands.

Inside, there are ancient buildings of various sizes.

However, unlike the Sea Sky Divine Palace, the ancient buildings in the Primordial Hall are well-preserved due to the constant flow of people, making them appear grand rather than dilapidated.

"It's said that this place originally held countless opportunities and fortunes, but after years of exploitation and plundering, only these empty ancient halls remain!"

As Qin Chen and company entered the Primordial Hall, Li Linfeng remarked.

At the same time, Qin Chen and his group drew quite a bit of attention.

"That's the team from the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, one of the Four Great Legendary Forces!"

"The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect! That's a colossal force! I wonder how strong their combatants are this time!"

"You don't know? In the last competition ceremony, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect didn't even make it to the top ten!"

"Really? They didn't make the top ten? But the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect is a legendary force!"

...

Qin Chen and the others wore the robes of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, especially Qin Chen, Liuw Yifan, and Ouyang Panxue, whose Saint Son and Saint Maiden robes were extremely conspicuous.

"Wait a moment!"

"If I'm not mistaken, that person leading the group, wearing the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect's Saint Son robe, hasn't even reached the Primordial Flower Realm in cultivation?!"

Suddenly, someone's eyes were fixed.

Many people promptly looked over, and in no time, a dozen or so gazes were directed at Qin Chen.

"It's true!"

"Is this a joke? Someone with mere Heavenly Origin Realm cultivation can become the Saint Son of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect? In other legendary forces, that would at most qualify for a core disciple!"

"When did the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect's Saint Son standards drop so low? Can one become a Saint Son at the Heavenly Origin Realm?"

"In that case, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect's team might perform like the last competition ceremony!"

Because of the competition ceremony, many strong contenders have gathered at the Primordial Hall.

Though strong experts at the Primordial Flower Realm are rarely seen at the Primordial Hall, they are present.

As they have more cultivation than Qin Chen, they can easily perceive his level.

"Target locked."

At this moment, in a concealed dark area, a gaze was directed this way, and a message was relayed.

"Shut up!"

Hearing the chatter around, a cold intent appeared on Ouyang Panxue's pretty face.

The aura that could Ice Seal the World made those around feel a chill run down their backs.

Ouyang Panxue glanced coldly at this group before moving on.

It wasn't until after Ouyang Panxue left that they took a breath, shock apparent in their eyes: "Who was that woman? As beautiful as an immortal and with such terrifying strength?"

Even though Ouyang Panxue had released only a hint of her aura, it was enough to intimidate many.

"She should be the Saintess of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, named alongside the Saintesses of the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect, Yian Jingyao, and Yun Xianyi, as well as Feng Yuling of the Beast Taming Clan, as one of the Great Origin Four Beauties, the Saintess, Ouyang Panxue."

The informed ones said.

"It's her?!"

"No wonder she's as beautiful as an immortal!"

Upon hearing this, many couldn't help but focus their gaze.

The Great Origin Four Beauties, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect's Saintess Ouyang Panxue, is hardly unrecognized by anyone.

"The competition ceremony isn't a beauty pageant; being pretty is of no use."

Someone remarked sourly.

"When the competition ceremony starts, Senior Brother Qin will surely surprise those people!" Su Yun said.

The earlier voices around were excessively irritating.

Qin Chen chuckled, not paying much attention.

"Young master."

Suddenly, a beautiful and enchanting woman approached Qin Chen.

This woman was indeed attractive, but being in Ouyang Panxue's presence overshadowed her somewhat.

Qin Chen paused.

He noticed the robes she wore had the two words 'Primordial Clan' embroidered on them.

Evidently, she was from the Primordial Clan, one of the Five Great Origin Clans.

However, her cultivation was only at the Heavenly Origin Realm, so she likely wasn't a combatant in this competition ceremony.

The Primordial Clan is a local force of the Primordial Hall, and Qin Chen had seen them along the way.

But it was the first time a woman, like her, actively approached to greet him.

"What can I do for you, miss?"

Out of courtesy, Qin Chen stopped to inquire.

"Young master, my name is Yiu Bibai, just an ordinary member of the Primordial Clan. This is likely your first time at the Primordial Hall, correct?"

Yiu Bibai smiled warmly.

Qin Chen nodded.

"In that case, as a local from the Primordial Hall, I can show you around." Yiu Bibai said.

Qin Chen's eyes slightly narrowed as he said, "Thank you for the kind offer, Miss Yiu, but we appreciate the thought. We'll just wander around ourselves."

"Young master, isn't that a bit rude to a lady? I don't offer service for free, just a small fee." Yiu Bibai replied.

"How much?"

"Not much, just one person, ten million stone coins." Yiu Bibai said.

"Apologies."

Qin Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Ten million stone coins per person? That would be fifty million for five of them?

Just for a tour, it costs fifty million stone coins?

This woman might have some issues!

"Are you sure you're leaving, young master?"

Unexpectedly, just as Qin Chen was about to leave, Yiu Bibai suddenly transmitted a message to him.

Qin Chen paused and looked at Yiu Bibai: "What do you mean?"

Yiu Bibai's words carried a hint of subtle threat.

"If you hand over fifty million stone coins now, we can let this go, and I'll take you on a tour as promised."

"If you don't, believe me, young master, you will regret it."

Yiu Bibai smiled warmly on the surface but was transmitting this message to Qin Chen.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen's eyes slowly narrowed.

Is this... extortion?
