Supreme Devouring God-Chapter 1309: Activating the Ruins!

Qin Chen's lips curled into a barely discernible smile.

"You might try to kill me."

"Let's see if I crush the Stone Seal first, or if you manage to kill me first."

"There's only one chance, anyone who wants to try can do so, I, Qin Chen, am game." Qin Chen said with a smile.

The people of the Twelve Families fell silent in an instant.

Nobody dared to act rashly.

Even Feng Xiqing, who harbored intense killing intent towards Qin Chen, quieted down, though he gritted his teeth and glared at Qin Chen with fury.

Ouyang Panxue glanced at Qin Chen with surprise.

Initially, they were in a highly passive position.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chen instantly reversed the situation, putting the Twelve Families on the defensive instead.

Particularly, Qin Chen's calm and unruffled demeanor truly startled Ouyang Panxue.

Shen Jing and Shen Yaxin, the brother and sister pair, were not surprised at all.

Compared to the Three Five-star Sects and even the Black Shadow, the Twelve Families were naturally inferior.

Even the Five-star Sects and Black Shadow were destroyed by Qin Chen; of course the mere Twelve Families would be thrown into chaos.

If they weren't currently in the ancestral land, Qin Chen could probably annihilate them all with a wave of his hand, one person suppressing the Twelve Families!

"Young Master Qin jests, the opportunity lies here before us, naturally we should work together."

"Young Master Qin might as well pretend he hasn't heard any of the others' words."

Finally, Chang Sijing broke the silence and spoke up.

"Sincerity."

A perpetual smile spread across Qin Chen's face as he uttered the two words lightly.

Chang Sijing's face darkened slightly.

Never did he imagine that one day he'd be intimidated by the aura of a twenty-year-old boy.

But now, their situation had become extremely passive, and it was nearly as if whatever Qin Chen said went.

"I can offer the Ancestor Seal of my Chang Family as collateral." Chang Sijing said. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After saying this, a dark stone seal appeared in Chang Sijing's hand, with a large 'Chang' character engraved on it.

Seeing Chang Sijing produce this item.

The members of the Chang Family's expressions changed, clearly aware of the significance of this item.

"The Ancestor Seal was left by our ancestors, connected to our Chang Family's Ancestor Hall."

"In the Ancestor Hall, the memorial tablets of our Chang Family's ancestors are arranged, concerning the inheritance of our family."

"As long as the Ancestor Seal remains intact, the Ancestor Hall will always exist."

"Conversely, if the Ancestor Seal is damaged, the Ancestor Hall will shatter instantly."

"This item is no less significant than a precious inheritance for our Chang Family."

"I am willing to hand this item to Young Master Qin to demonstrate sincerity." Chang Sijing said deeply, taking a breath.

Qin Chen squinted his eyes at the so-called Ancestor Seal in Chang Sijing's hand.

"He seems to be telling the truth,"

"There is an imprint of a distant protective array on this Ancestor Seal."

"This item serves as the center of a protective array, if the center remains intact, the array remains intact, unless the force destroying the array far exceeds the array's capacity." Little Fairy said.

Qin Chen nodded upon hearing this.

However, he didn't take the Ancestor Seal from Chang Sijing's hand.

"Not enough." Qin Chen said indifferently.

Since the Chang Family had this item, every family among the Twelve Families likely has one as well.

Holding the Chang Family's Ancestor Seal might intimidate the Chang Family.

But what about the other eleven families?

Upon hearing Qin Chen's words.

The small world quieted down again, many eyes turned towards Qin Chen, sharp and piercing.

"You're asking too much."

At this moment, the Shen Family Master, none other than Shen Jing and Shen Yaxin's grandfather, Shen Changwen, suddenly spoke up.

Causing Shen Jing and Shen Yaxin's expressions to change.

They understood Qin Chen's terror, and any confrontation with Qin Chen now could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Once they leave the ancestral land, in Qin Chen's eyes, the Shen Family is nothing but a weak chicken.

"Grandfather! Young Master Qin is not someone you can offend! Hold your tongue!"

Shen Jing quickly whispered to Shen Changwen.

Yet, Shen Changwen acted as if he hadn't heard.

In his heart, he might not dare provoke Ouyang Panxue.

But so what if it's just a mere Heavenly Origin Realm disciple from the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, why can't Shen Changwen afford to provoke him?

Furthermore, there's more than just his one Shen Family!

"So there's nothing to discuss then?"

Qin Chen glanced briefly at Shen Changwen, then turned his gaze to Chang Sijing.

He could tell Chang Sijing was the leader of the Twelve Families.

Chang Sijing's face darkened slightly, he also thought Qin Chen was asking too much.

He understood Qin Chen wanted the Twelve Families to hand over all their Ancestor Seals to him.

"Give them."

Finally, Chang Sijing gritted his teeth and spoke.

The others, Cheng Hangkong, Feng Xiqing, and the like, all exhibited expressions of utter surprise.

"He just wants us to change who holds the Ancestor Seals, are we really afraid he'd destroy all the Ancestor Seals of our Twelve Families?!"

Chang Sijing whispered in Elemental Power to Feng Xiqing and others.

"But what if he uses the Ancestor Seals to make more excessive demands?" Shen Changwen communicated to Chang Sijing using Elemental Power.

"Then let him die without a complete corpse." Chang Sijing replied coldly.

He's not someone without a temper!

On the contrary, anyone who pushes too far will meet a very dire end!

Ultimately, Feng Xiqing and all the Clan Leaders of the Twelve Families handed over their Ancestor Seals to Qin Chen one after another.

Qin Chen naturally accepted them with a cheerful smile.

"Rest assured, all of you. I, Qin Chen, always keep my promises."

"As long as none of you do anything out of line, I will surely return the Ancestor Seals in their original state to each of you." Qin Chen said with a smile.

Holding the Ancestor Seals of the Twelve Families in hand at this moment, he undoubtedly had control over a crucial safety guarantee.

"So, can we open this relic now?"

Chang Sijing was truly reluctant to engage in further chatter with Qin Chen; he now only wished to explore the relic, retrieve the Ancestor Seals, and part ways with Qin Chen.

"Naturally." Qin Chen nodded with a smile.

He then gestured subtly to Ouyang Panxue.

Together with those holding the Keys to Entry like Chang Sijing and Cheng Hangkong, they proceeded into the small courtyard before the great relic gate.

Others like Shen Jing followed behind them.

Chang Sijing, Qin Chen, and four others arrived under the Stone Gate, each standing below the five seal slots of Stone Gate Mountain, holding a stone seal.

"Let's begin." Chang Sijing nodded slightly to Qin Chen and the others.

Immediately, the five of them simultaneously pressed the stone seals entirely into the seal slots of Stone Gate Mountain.

Rumble!

As the stone seals were placed, the Stone Gate emitted a rumbling sound.

However, the Stone Gate did not open.

Instead, a deep vortex appeared on the Stone Gate, indiscernible by the naked eye regarding what lay within the vortex.

Yet, peculiar auras emanated from the vortex, belonging to Treasures.

Clearly, the Stone Gate must hold numerous Treasures.
