“YOU...” At this moment, many elders present felt a surge of fear and retreat deep in their hearts.
Originally, no matter how powerful Qin Chen displayed himself, they were shocked but not afraid.
Because this was the headquarters of the Wangu Tower. Although they were high-level elders managing many affairs, in fact, their cultivation levels were not top-tier. As a top force that shocked the Guanghan Palace, how could the Wangu Tower not have a dominant power at the peak of the Heavenly Saint?
In a crisis, as long as any Heavenly Saint level dominant figure appeared, it would be enough to suppress this group of people, and they wouldn't be able to stir up any waves.
But now, the identity that Qin Chen revealed made them feel both astonished and fearful.
The Holy Son of Tian Gong—such a figure, if truly captured by them over a trivial matter, would bring great trouble to the Wangu Tower. Tian Gong would never let it go easily, and by then, if the Grand Master was disturbed, none of them would come out unscathed; they'd all bear the consequences.
“What do you want...” The leading few high-level elders no longer had their previous bravado and spoke with fear and trepidation.
“Shouldn't it be me asking this?”
Qin Chen coldly smiled, “I was threatened by that butcher god in your Wangu Tower and even suffered an assassination attempt from him. Fortunately, I possess outstanding divine abilities and managed to slay that butcher. I thought your Wangu Tower would give me an explanation and apologize, but unexpectedly, not only did you not do so, but you also captured Tian Xing, who spoke on my behalf at that time, intending to behead him in public and even wanted to send a letter to Tian Gong to accuse me. Haha, you Wangu Tower really have guts, huh?”
This... Many elders instantly broke into a cold sweat. If this matter were to be taken seriously, their Wangu Tower would indeed be in trouble.
“Qin Chen... No, Chen Shao, you misunderstand, this is all a misunderstanding.”
Several high-ranking elders of the Wangu Tower jumped up suddenly. One of them hurriedly lifted the restrictions from Tian Xing and supported him.
“Chen Shao, Tian Xing, this is all a misunderstanding. The butcher god was rampaging in our Wangu Tower, attempting to harm Tian Gong's disciples. Tian Xing was not afraid of danger and stood on the side of justice; how could we judge him?
In fact, you misunderstood. We brought Tian Xing here not to judge him, but to reward him. Yes, to reward him. From today onwards, Tian Xing will be our internal affairs elder in the Wangu Tower. Any branch of the Wangu Tower in Guanghan Palace that he wants to go to, he can go to serve as the branch lord.”
These high-level elders repeatedly spoke, trying desperately to mend the situation.
“Tian Xing, quickly say something!”
The high-ranking elders kept signaling Tian Xing.
“Several elders, Tian Xing has nothing to say; Tian Xing can only act with a clear conscience.”
Tian Xing said lightly while standing by.
The expressions of the high-ranking elders suddenly turned awkward. They cautiously addressed Qin Chen, saying, “Chen Shao, what do you think...”
Qin Chen drooped his eyelids: “How you handle Tian Xing is your Wangu Tower's internal matter. I am an outsider and naturally will not interfere. However, I have been frightened by the butcher god in your Wangu Tower. It is somewhat unreasonable for you not to provide an explanation and compensation.”
This... The group of high-ranking elders looked speechless. The butcher god has already been killed by him, and he still claims to be frightened and wants compensation. This is really...
“What kind of compensation does Chen Shao want?”
The high-ranking elders asked simultaneously.
“Very simple, five complete ancient holy veins of mid-tier Heavenly Saint rank. And they must be intact, I don’t want the dilapidated ones that have consumed a lot of holy energy. If you take them out as my compensation for the shock today, we can let this matter pass.”
