The figures that appeared were all at the elder level, and among them was even a half-step heaven venerable expert. Elder Longyuan was also present.
These elders entered a rather magnificent palace.
"Elder Black Feather."
"Greetings, Elder Black Feather."
After entering the palace, these elders respectfully bowed to a powerful figure welcoming them inside, who was none other than Elder Black Feather.
"You all arrived just in time," Elder Black Feather glanced at the elders and immediately led them to a secret space deep within the palace.
Buzz! As these figures gathered in the palace, a black shadow suddenly appeared within.
"Master."
Upon seeing this black silhouette, the group immediately knelt on the ground in respect.
"Everyone, please rise."
The black silhouette said in a deep voice.
Elder Black Feather and the others stood up.
Although the black silhouette was established in Elder Black Feather's palace, the identity of this figure remained unknown to the elders; they only knew that within Tian Gong, there was a vice hall master who was their leader, directing their covert activities within Tian Gong.
In fact, the few elders present had only come to know each other’s identities through a previous collaboration, and they were aware that besides them, there were many spies from the Demon Tribe in Tian Gong.
The Demon Tribe had spent countless years and enormous resources to place so many spies, and they had achieved remarkable secrecy regarding these undercover operatives.
It had been a long time since the last summons from the black silhouette; this sudden call from above must indicate that a significant event was about to happen.
"What is Qin Chen doing now?" the black silhouette asked casually.
Elder Black Feather and the others' hearts tightened.
It was indeed about Qin Chen.
Qin Chen had recently caused quite a stir in Tian Gong, and it was evident that he had caught the attention of the Demon Tribe.
Is the master planning to take action?
Elder Black Feather immediately responded, "Reporting back to the master, Qin Chen just returned from the Treasury Hall and is now back in his palace. As for what he is specifically doing, we do not know. However, he entered the Treasury Hall with the true word earth venerable, who came out quickly, while Qin Chen remained inside for quite some time. We are unsure about what he exchanged."
The black silhouette sneered coldly, "What could he exchange? According to my calculations, this person has approximately twenty-one million contribution points, which can basically be exchanged for the majority of Heaven Venerable Treasures. He must have chosen a Heaven Venerable Treasure when entering the Treasury Hall, but whether he chose a defensive or offensive type, or perhaps both, is still unknown."
Immediately, a fiery look appeared in the eyes of Elder Black Feather and the others.
Twenty-one million contribution points could roughly be exchanged for about two Heaven Venerable Treasures. They had yet to see even one, let alone the fact that even Elder Black Feather, a half-step heaven venerable, possessed none.
The black silhouette seemed to understand their thoughts and coldly laughed, "Don't worry, soon these Heaven Venerable Treasures will no longer belong to this kid."
"Master, what do you mean..." Elder Black Feather and the others were taken aback.
"That's right, I have received news from that clan, requesting us to eliminate Qin Chen," the black silhouette stated.
Elder Black Feather and the others felt a heavy weight in their hearts, sensing an ominous turn of events.
The master wouldn’t want them to take action, would he?
Elder Black Feather immediately said, "Master, we must think this through. Qin Chen possesses the source of time and has extraordinary strength. Even if we all join forces, we may not be his match. Moreover, once we take action, it will surely expose us and attract the strike of the Heaven-Piercing Extreme Fire Pillar."
Elder Black Feather and the others were trembling with fear.
They were genuinely afraid that the black silhouette would order them to take action. They knew Qin Chen's strength and felt that sending them would be akin to seeking death.
