Supreme Devouring God-Chapter 1248: Far From Enough!

"I have a few junior brothers who acted foolishly and were imprisoned by the Saint Heir on Demon Peak. I came here today hoping the Saint Heir could show leniency towards them for their ignorance."

Ning He said calmly.

"Wait a minute, this doesn't seem like Ning He's usual behavior."

"I also find it strange. Normally, Ning He wouldn't be this polite!"

...

Seeing Ning He being so courteous, the disciples watching nearby were astonished.

Ning He had a great reputation in the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, and many disciples were well aware of his character.

In fact, on the way here,

Ning He had received a message from Yu TianQee.

Instructing him to act low-key.

Although Ning He wanted to forcibly take Jiang Jian and the others from Qin Chen's hands and even teach Qin Chen a lesson,

he couldn't disobey Yu TianQee's words.

Hence, Ning He was being so polite at this moment.

Qin Chen heard this and chuckled lightly, then signaled to Chu Xun.

Chu Xun understood immediately.

Before long, Jiang Jian and the others were brought out by Chu Xun.

Hiss!!!

Seeing the miserable state of Jiang Jian and the others, everyone around involuntarily gasped.

The grievous injuries and their embarrassed appearance clearly showed what they had been through.

"Brother Ning He!"

"Brother Ning He, this bastard Qin is ruthless and unreasonable. He seriously injured us and made us suffer! Brother Ning He, you must seek justice for us!!!"

Seeing Ning He, Jiang Jian and the others shouted as if they had lost their parents.

Ning He's face also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Although he didn't care about the life and death of Jiang Jian and the others,

now the entire Heavenly Blade Saint Sect knew that Jiang Jian and the others were his subordinates.

Having Jiang Jian and the others beaten so miserably was indirectly a slap to his face.

Ning He's expression changed as he thought of Yu TianQee's instructions, forcing himself to suppress his anger.

"Are they the ones?" Qin Chen asked.

"Yes." Ning He nodded.

"You want me to release them, right?" Qin Chen asked again.

"Yes." Ning He nodded again.

"Okay."

Qin Chen said with a light smile.

Hmm?

Everyone around was taken aback.

Even Ning He was stunned, clearly not expecting Qin Chen to agree so readily, without hesitation.

"Didn't he tell Ning He to kneel to retrieve them? Now that Ning He is here, he just releases them?"

"I reckon he's afraid after seeing Ning He's aggressive presence."

"Isn't this just fooling around?"

...

The people around were somewhat speechless.

"Is this really how you handle things?"

In the shadows, Ouyang Panxue and Ouyang Panxia were present and upon hearing Qin Chen's words, Ouyang Panxue couldn't help but shake her head.

Doing so would surely invite endless gossip.

She really didn't know what Qin Chen was thinking.

Jiang Jian and the others felt extremely relieved.

Evidently, they thought Qin Chen was afraid of Ning He, leading him to release them.

Previously, they had been beaten badly by Qin Chen and were holding back their grievances.

"Brother Ning He, we can't let it go like this! Our injuries can't be in vain!"

"Yes, this bastard Qin is ungrateful. He dared to act despite knowing we were your men and even dealt heavy blows; he must be taught a lesson!"

"Now he knows to back down, but it's too late!"

Jiang Jian and the others shouted.

But Ning He frowned and then coldly shouted.

"Quiet!!!"

At the sound of his voice, Jiang Jian and the others instantly fell silent, like ducks with their necks squeezed.

Ning He felt irritated.

He expected some unforeseen events, but he didn't anticipate Qin Chen to cooperate so readily, which made Ning He increasingly disdainful of Qin Chen.

At the same time, he was very confused about Yu TianQee's orders.

He really wanted to suppress Qin Chen, embarrass him.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a suitable reason.

This naturally made him unhappy.

"Thank you, Saint Heir."

Ning He said with a stern face, although he thanked him with words, he didn't show any gratitude in his actions.

Jiang Jian and the others were anxious, anxious why it seemed it was just going to end like this.

But seeing Ning He's gloomy face, they didn't dare complain.

Immediately, they intended to rush to Ning He's side and leave with him.

"Wait a minute!"

But at this moment.

A voice came from Qin Chen, like a nail fixing Jiang Jian and the others in place.

Ning He raised his head, his eyes on Qin Chen: "I wonder if the Saint Heir has any other instructions?"

"Perhaps you forgot."

"My original condition was that I would release them, but you must kneel to retrieve them, only then will I let them go."

"Now that I'm agreeing to release them, are you planning to leave just like that?" Qin Chen said.

Silence!

When Qin Chen's words spread.

The people around were again taken aback.

Even Ouyang Panxue, who was about to return to Paanxue Peak, halted suddenly. A look of surprise spread on her face as she turned back to look at Qin Chen.

"Bastard Qin! Don't overplay your hand! Are you seriously intending to make Brother Ning He kneel before you?!"

"You must be out of your mind!"

Jiang Jian and the others, after a brief moment of surprise, suddenly shouted in fury.

The surrounding people were extremely surprised, only now realizing that from beginning to end, Qin Chen had not planned to release them just because Ning He arrived.

Ning He stared steadily at Qin Chen, a chilling gleam appearing in his eyes.

"Saint Heir, my few junior brothers were ignorant and trespassed into your place, which was wrong."

"However, imprisoning them unlawfully, and causing them harm, injuring them severely and putting their lives at risk."

"Today, I specifically came to humbly request the Saint Heir to release them."

"Does the Saint Heir think that this is still not enough?" Ning He said gravely.

The silver-robed disciples beside him could clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from him.

Though he was trying his best to suppress it, the horrifying aura was still gradually rising.

"Far from enough!"

"They intruded into my place, drove away my friends, and harmed them! Not taking their lives is already showing mercy!"

"Moreover, if subordinates make a mistake, punishment is expected, is it not?"

"As their senior brother, don't you bear any responsibility for their wrongdoings?"

"Today, if you kneel, I'll release them!"

"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to show no mercy and revoke their status as disciples of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!!!"

Qin Chen's voice grew increasingly cold.

As his words fell, Jiang Jian and the others' hearts trembled.

The things they'd worked hard to attain, they couldn't just fall apart instantly!

"It seems we all underestimated his assertiveness and arrogance."

"I fear this matter can't be resolved amicably today." someone said.
