Sensing Qin Chen's unsightly expression, the true word earth venerable said, "I also used my connections to investigate the outside of the Headquarters Secret Realm, but similarly, I couldn't find any news about Ji Wuxue and the others."
Boom!
Qin Chen suddenly stood up, a terrifying killing intent erupted from his body, sweeping like a vast ocean, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Step, step, step.
The true word earth venerable's face turned pale, looking at Qin Chen in horror.
Qin Chen was now suffused with killing intent, a cold murderous glint shining in his eyes.
His heart was filled with both shock and anger.
What was going on?
What on earth was happening?
It was clearly said that Wuxue and the others had gone to the Heavenly Work Headquarters, but when he arrived, the true word earth venerable couldn't find them at all. This made Qin Chen's killing intent churn.
Qin Chen's gaze flickered, countless thoughts racing through his mind. "Could it be that they are in some secret realm or secluded place, which is why you couldn’t find out?"
Under Qin Chen's intimidating gaze, the true word earth venerable swallowed hard and quickly said, "Don't be anxious. Although I couldn't find out where Ji Wuxue and the others are now, I have investigated, and they did come to the Headquarters Secret Realm, but they left soon after."
Qin Chen was taken aback, and the overwhelming aura he emitted suddenly retracted.
"They left? What's going on?"
The true word earth venerable breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I’m not sure about the specifics, but it’s said that this order was given personally by the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable. It seems that You Qianxue and Princess Ruyue were taken to another power's inheritance to receive training."
"Another power's inheritance?"
Qin Chen was even more bewildered. "Which power?"
The Heavenly Work Headquarters was so powerful that even heaven venerable experts could learn a lot here. Why would the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable send them to another power?
With Qianxue's cultivation level, it shouldn't warrant such concern from the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, right?
What was his purpose?
A warning sign arose in Qin Chen's heart; he could sense that the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable seemed to be constantly watching him.
Since he returned to the Heavenly Work Headquarters, it seemed that everything had been pre-arranged.
This was a feeling Qin Chen had after cultivating the path of fate.
"If I knew which power, I would have told you already," the true word earth venerable quickly replied. "However, the Ancient Craftsman Venerable might know something. You can ask him. From what I've heard, the power they went to is extremely mysterious."
"The Ancient Craftsman Venerable, huh?"
Qin Chen's mind moved. "Alright, I will visit the Ancient Craftsman Venerable's palace."
Just as Qin Chen was about to set off, he suddenly stopped, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
He raised his head, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the mansion, looking outside.
"Interesting, why have they come?"
"The Demon Tribe's spies are finally unable to restrain themselves and want to take action?"
Just as Qin Chen stood up, he immediately sat back down, yet a hint of mockery flickered in the depths of his eyes.
Seeing Qin Chen, who had just been furious and was about to leave, suddenly sit down again, the true word earth venerable was puzzled. Just then, a loud voice rang out from outside Qin Chen's mansion.
"Heiyu, here to pay my respects to Deputy Vice Hall Master Qin. May I ask if Deputy Vice Hall Master Qin is in?"
The booming voice echoed, attracting the attention of many powerful figures outside.
"It's Elder Heiyu, why is he looking for Qin Chen?"
"Those beside him should be Elder Longyuan and the others, right?"
"Elder Longyuan initially didn't submit to Deputy Vice Hall Master Qin and was severely taught a lesson by him. I guess his injuries have just healed? Why has he come again?"
"Is he looking to regain his pride? That can't be, right? Although Elder Heiyu is a half-step heaven venerable, he also challenged Qin Chen before, only to be defeated in an instant. Would he really come back for humiliation?"
