“Can you activate this communication artifact? To relay the previous conversation?”
Venerable Wind Return’s eyes bulged out, blood vessels spreading. “What more can you argue now?”
The activation of this ancient communication artifact was indeed very complex and required special techniques. However, under Qin Chen's sky patch technique, any structure would be analyzed. After all, apart from its rarity and antiquity, the internal structure of this communication artifact was not that complicated.
“Venerable Wind Return, what is going on? How do you have Purple Crystals to trade?”
Venerable True Word and Radiant Light Saint Master were furious, their eyes blood red. Elder Yehe's gaze was also icy. Such an incident had occurred within the Heavenly Work Great Camp he managed, and he would bear responsibility and face punishment from headquarters.
“Gu…” Venerable Wind Return panicked and hurriedly looked towards the nearby Ancient Sun Earth Venerable.
“Bang!”
Ancient Sun Earth Venerable suddenly moved, and a terrifying earth venerable aura swept through.
In a flash, Ancient Sun Earth Venerable struck Venerable Wind Return on the forehead, instantly exploding his head, flesh evaporating. The terrifying earth venerable power spread, directly obliterating Venerable Wind Return's soul.
Before Venerable Wind Return's head exploded, Qin Chen clearly saw the look of disbelief in his eyes, seemingly unable to believe that Ancient Sun Earth Venerable would kill him.
After all, he was a human venerable expert, one of the elites in Heavenly Work. If he had been prepared, even if Ancient Sun Earth Venerable was stronger, it would have been impossible for him to be killed so easily with one strike, with his soul extinguished. Everything happened because he had not anticipated Ancient Sun Earth Venerable at all.
Not only Venerable Wind Return couldn't believe it, but even Venerable True Word and Radiant Light Saint Master were in disbelief, as Ancient Sun Earth Venerable did not have the authority to execute Venerable Wind Return. Normally, he would have to escort Venerable Wind Return to the Heavenly Work headquarters for interrogation by the elders.
“Ancient Sun Earth Venerable, what do you mean by this?”
Venerable True Word questioned angrily, and the other elders also had grim expressions. Even Elder Yehe’s gaze darkened, feeling shocked and furious inside. The fall of a core holy son at the human venerable level was something he could not escape punishment from headquarters for.
Qin Chen showed a cold smile to the side. Although he was also surprised by Ancient Sun Earth Venerable’s ruthlessness, with his strength, he could have rescued Venerable Wind Return earlier if he had wanted to. It was just that he was too lazy to act, after all, it would expose too much of his strength and reveal the time rules.
Ancient Sun Earth Venerable's expression was cold as he said, “Venerable Wind Return colluded with foreign races and stole strategic resources of the Human Race Alliance. He deserves to die a thousand deaths. Our Heavenly Work is one of the pillars of the human race. If I find out who dares to betray us and collude with foreign races, I will kill them personally. Venerable True Word, do you have any objections to my killing him?”
“Of course I have objections. First, Venerable Wind Return is a core holy son of our Heavenly Work. After breaking through to the venerable realm, he is at least a high-level attendant. Even if he colluded with foreign races, he must be brought back to the Heavenly Work headquarters for processing. Second, how did he collude with foreign races? There must be channels and contact methods, which I haven't inquired about yet. Third, he mentioned before colluding that there were high-level discussions with our Heavenly Work. The high-level person he referred to must be at least an earth venerable elder, not to mention, he called your surname before dying.”
Venerable True Word stared directly at Ancient Sun Earth Venerable.
