Supreme Devouring God-Chapter 1472: Golden Buddha Temple

Following Jing Kong.

Qin Chen walked into the temple.

Inside the temple, an old man was sitting cross-legged on a grass cushion, meditating with his eyes closed.

At this moment, the old man had his back turned to Jing Kong and Qin Chen.

"Shh! Keep it down."

Jing Kong signaled Qin Chen to tread lightly.

However, just as the two passed by the old man.

The old man suddenly spoke: "Bringing guests to the Golden Buddha Temple, sneaky and hesitant, how disgraceful it is?"

Jing Kong's face immediately turned bitter, saying, "Master, I'm just concerned about disturbing your meditation, that's all."

Only then did the old man stand up from the grass cushion, turned around to face Qin Chen.

But throughout, his eyes remained closed.

"Qin Chen, this is my master, Master Zangqing."

Jing Kong introduced to Qin Chen.

"Such a rich Sword Intent, are you a disciple of that boy Li Guangxuan?"

Master Zangqing spoke.

That boy?

Qin Chen was at a loss for words.

However, looking at the old man's weathered face, he probably wasn't just pretending to be old and wise.

The Sect Leader of his Heavenly Blade Saint Sect was considered a junior in front of the old man!

"Disciple of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect Qin Chen, greets Master Zangqing!"

Qin Chen felt the old man before him was incredibly mysterious.

Master Zangqing said, "Your bones are round and smooth. That boy Li Guangxuan is quite lucky to have accepted such a naturally gifted talent like you!"

"Master, you flatter me!" Qin Chen said.

"Go ahead! There is a saying that goes, 'guests should be treated well,' but I don't have anything good to offer here at the temple. So, make yourself comfortable." Master Zangqing said.

"Sorry to have disturbed you, Master, please do not take offense!"

Qin Chen quickly cupped his hands and said.

Master Zangqing shook his head: "Jing Kong, take good care of our guest."

Jing Kong replied, "Absolutely!"

Then, Jing Kong hurriedly led Qin Chen into the back of the temple.

The back of the temple was equally desolate.

The stones laid on the ground were already cracked, with weeds growing in some of the crevices.

"Phew!"

Jing Kong suddenly let out a sigh of relief, surprising Qin Chen.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chen asked.

Jing Kong replied, "You don't know, my master has a strange temperament, and no outsiders have ever come to the temple."

"No, to be precise, some outsiders have come, but they were all driven away by my master."

"Just now, when I was trying to sneak you in while my master was meditating, I didn't expect to be discovered. I thought he would be angry, but surprisingly he wasn't, and I don't know why."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Back off!!!"

Suddenly.

Qin Chen seemed to have sensed something.

His face changed dramatically.

In a flash, he pushed Jing Kong forward while rapidly retreating himself.

"What are you doing?!"

Qin Chen's sudden action caused Jing Kong's face to change drastically, almost being pushed to the ground.

But.

The next moment.

Jing Kong saw that where he and Qin Chen had been standing, Elemental Power unexpectedly surged up from the ground.

Immediately after.

A figure appeared in Jing Kong's sight.

The person was cloaked and masked, their appearance unclear.

They emerged from the ground!

"Who are you?!"

Jing Kong's eyes widened; he could hardly believe that someone had suddenly emerged from underground.

"Swish!"

Unexpectedly.

The person snapped their fingers, and a wisp of green smoke rose into the air.

"Bang!"

Jing Kong only felt as if he had lost all consciousness, and his body suddenly fell to the ground.

Then, he looked at Qin Chen.

Qin Chen was now on high alert, his first instinct being whether this person was related to Yu TianQee.

But in actuality.

This person had absolutely nothing to do with Yu TianQee!

He was Qi Zhengyuan!

After receiving orders from Emperor Chu, Qi Zhengyuan began tracking Qin Chen's whereabouts.

He followed Qin Chen all the way to the Golden Buddha Temple!

What he had just used was merely a special Secret Technique, allowing him to traverse the ground as easily as clouds.

"The Chu Emperor sent me to discuss something with you."

Qi Zhengyuan lowered his voice.

After all, Qin Chen had seen him and heard his voice; if possible, he naturally did not want Qin Chen to recognize his identity.

Emperor Chu?

Qin Chen's heart skipped a beat.

The person belonged to the Royal Family!

"What is it?"

Qin Chen was extremely vigilant.

"Do you want an opportunity to change your destiny?" Qi Zhengyuan said.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Qi Zhengyuan's words left Qin Chen utterly confused.

"In the not-too-distant future, the Great Origin Dynasty's dynamics will undergo a massive change."

"Emperor Chu greatly appreciates you."

"So he specifically sent me to negotiate with you."

"As long as you are willing, you can name your conditions, but from now on, you will become a covert agent for our Royal Family within the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!"

"At the same time, the Royal Family will provide you with all the support they can, and even that which they cannot!"

Qi Zhengyuan was impressed by Qin Chen's clear-headedness at that moment.

Normal people would find it very difficult to stay calm like Qin Chen in such a situation!

Co-opt him?

To make him defect from the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect?

Qin Chen deliberated over the partial information Qi Zhengyuan's words seemed to reveal.

He couldn't tell whether the man's words were just a ruse or the truth.

"If what you are seeking is greater power and status, then believe me, choosing to join the Royal Family from this moment on will be a very wise and correct decision!"

"The era of the Great Origin Dynasty is about to change dramatically!"

"This is something not even your Heavenly Blade Saint Sect can contend with, nor can the Four Legendaries or the Five Clans!"

"And you are a fortunate one in this great wave."

"At this moment, the choice is right in front of you; how you choose is up to you." Qi Zhengyuan said.

For some reason, Qin Chen felt as if Qi Zhengyuan truly knew something important.

Or perhaps the Royal Family is secretly planning something!

Wait!

At this thought, Qin Chen's heart jolted.

If this were true.

The other party has already revealed so much information, if it's all true, then if he refuses, will they just let him go?

Definitely not!

Qin Chen instantly realized the gravity of the crisis he was facing.

He was being forced onto a difficult path!

Qin Chen knew very well that with the other party's capabilities, there was absolutely no hope if he tried to use force.

Clearly, Emperor Chu would not be foolish enough to send a weakling to negotiate with Qin Chen over this matter.

"I give you one minute to consider."

"After one minute, I will need your answer."

Even though Qin Zhengyuan had scanned the entire Golden Buddha Temple upon arrival, confirming only Qin Chen and Jing Kong were present.

But it's never good to prolong things.

He didn't have much time to waste with Qin Chen!

The one minute now felt faster than it ever had before.

"The minute is up, what is your answer?"

Qi Zhengyuan's gaze instantly locked onto Qin Chen.
