Qin Chen came to the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm, not for training at all.
Instead, he came to deal with the Demon Tribe.
The Yuanmo Ancestor had been trouble for him, and naturally, Qin Chen couldn't keep defending himself. However, he didn't dare to directly confront the Yuanmo Ancestor either. But first, wasn't it fine to eliminate the arrangements you made within the Heavenly Work?
Heavenly Work?
This was a force that the Yuanmo Ancestor desperately wanted to conquer; it was like a thorn in his side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed so many spies here.
To arrange for a spy requires astronomical amounts of manpower, resources, and financial investment. Moreover, with so many spies laid out by the Yuanmo Ancestor, it was clear he had significant plans and purposes in mind.
What Qin Chen needed to do was to uncover all the spies the Demon Tribe had placed here, then uproot them entirely, rendering the tens of thousands of years of hard work by the Demon Tribe in vain.
And to find all the spies, he naturally couldn't miss out on those half-step heaven venerables.
Half-step heaven venerables were the elite below the heaven venerable level. The Demon Tribe surely wouldn't be unprepared, and Qin Chen was well aware that for the earth venerable elders, developing half-step heaven venerable spies might not be harder than dealing with earth venerable elders.
Because there wasn't a single half-step heaven venerable who didn't aspire to become a heaven venerable giant. However, becoming a heaven venerable giant was exceedingly difficult, requiring not just resources but also various opportunities.
With the dark power at his disposal, the Yuanmo Ancestor could certainly promise more to these half-step heaven venerables. After so many years of development, if it was said that not a single half-step heaven venerable was tempted to betray, Qin Chen wouldn't believe it.
"What I want is for them to come knocking."
Qin Chen sneered and flew back.
During Qin Chen's flight, numerous figures began to emerge from the distant palaces.
Earlier, many elders and stewards had gone to the arena area to watch Qin Chen, but compared to the numerous elders in the entire Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm, they were just a tiny fraction.
However, Qin Chen's bold declarations had drawn out all the hidden powerhouses within the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm.
At this moment, these figures who had faintly emerged felt Qin Chen passing by. They had just received the message and had finally come out of their secluded training.
"True Word Earth Venerable?
This must be the one who previously defeated thirteen elders consecutively in the arena, earning thirteen million contribution points, and is now challenging all the stewards and elders as the new acting vice hall master, Qin Chen?"
"He seems indeed young, but he's also quite arrogant."
"Today's youth are so fearless, daring to challenge all the elders, even half-step heaven venerables. I wonder where their confidence comes from."
The stewards and elders, each with different auras, looked over from a distance.
"As a newcomer, an earth venerable, relying solely on his cultivation level, comprehension of the laws, and secret techniques, it’s simply impossible for him to defeat half-step heaven venerables. If he dares to challenge them, he must have some backing; he probably has some extraordinary opportunities…”
"I heard he once came out alive from the ancient forbidden area of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion. He must have gained some exceptional techniques from there."
"Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion?
No wonder, that’s a top-tier force from ancient times, not weaker than our Heavenly Work Craftsmen at all."
Countless pieces of information were circulating among the various elders and stewards, giving many a substantial understanding of Qin Chen.
Many of them felt apprehensive about Qin Chen, but several elders were eager to try their luck. Of course, there were still many elders who remained quite furious.
