The brewing volcano was accumulating an incredibly intense rage.

Think about it, President Dongfang Qing had exhausted so much effort, painstakingly retrieving the latest bloodline instrument from the superior Ren Wang Bloodline Holy Land, and before he could thoroughly research it, a mere accident by a staff member allowed a young boy to break it. Anyone would be furious in such a situation.

This heartbreaking event, even if one were to cut the other into a thousand pieces, wouldn't be excessive.

In an instant, the air in the entire bloodline room became suffocatingly still, as if even breathing was a luxury, and each second felt like a century.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, Dongfang Qing, who was repressed to the extreme, suddenly sprang up. His booming voice sounded like thunder, rumbling throughout the entire bloodline area.

"Who was it? Who dared to mess with my bloodline instrument? Tell me, who?"

Dongfang Qing instantly appeared in front of Li Wenyu, grabbing his collar tightly, roaring like an angry lion, causing Li Wenyu's head to spin and spittle to splash all over his face.

Under Dongfang Qing's roar, Li Wenyu was completely dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment. He wanted to speak but was shaken by Dongfang Qing to the point where he couldn’t form words, his face turning as red as a pig liver.

"It was him, President, this kid did it. He broke your bloodline instrument, and this waitress let him in. They both deserve to die. They dared to sneak into your bloodline room while I was repairing the bloodline instrument for Master Chen Fan, breaking it. Even a thousand deaths cannot alleviate the hatred in my heart."

Liu Tong, who almost fainted, jumped up like a carp, angrily pointing at Qin Chen and Lin Xinrou, cursing loudly. His eyes were filled with anger and heartache, as if he was also a victim.

"It was him!"

Dongfang Qing's gaze instantly fell on Qin Chen, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes. With a flicker, he stood before Qin Chen, staring at him intently, and sternly asked, "Young man, was it you who entered the bloodline room and tampered with my bloodline instrument?"

"That's right!" Qin Chen met Dongfang Qing's eyes, his expression calm and composed, showing a maturity and steadiness uncharacteristic of someone his age.

"However, I didn't sneak in. When this waitress brought me here, the door was already open, and no one said the bloodline room was off-limits."

"Hmph, you dare to argue. Just because the door was open doesn’t mean you can enter freely. The bloodline instrument inside is so advanced; can a kid like you understand it? Since you don't understand, how dare you tamper with it? This is clearly intentional damage. I now suspect that you were sent by some malicious force to specifically sabotage the President’s bloodline instrument." Liu Tong, in self-preservation, pinned a huge accusation on Qin Chen.

"President, I now suspect this boy is likely a spy from the Blood Demon Cult." Liu Tong said grimly.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. The Blood Demon Cult was an infamous and terrifying force across the entire Northern Five Nations, known for their cruel methods and many crimes, yet their power was extremely vast, even overshadowing the Northern Five Nations.

Moreover, the Blood Demon Cult had always sought to infiltrate the Northern Five Nations and control them, but had been thwarted by the Ren Wang Bloodline Holy Land, the Artifact Hall, and other forces, preventing their success over the years.

If this young man before them truly was sent by the Blood Demon Cult to sabotage the President's bloodline instrument, then the issue was severe.

Qin Chen coldly chuckled, disdainfully glancing at Liu Tong, "Heh, a commoner from the great Qi country like me could actually be called a spy of the Blood Demon Cult by you. You really dare to say anything!"

"You..." Liu Tong was enraged by Qin Chen's gaze, becoming furious. He wanted to speak further, but before he could, a slap landed on his face, sending him flying like a ragdoll and crashing heavily to the ground.
