“What person?”
Qin Chen abruptly turned his head, and the others also looked over in surprise.
In the endless void, a figure shrouded in darkness walked out. This person wore a cloak, emanating a terrifying heaven venerable aura. A series of powerful rules representing heaven venerable power swirled around him, oppressing everyone present. However, his face was obscured, making it impossible to discern his true appearance.
Heaven Venerable! Everyone immediately recognized that this person was a heaven venerable expert, and the aura emanating from him could only be released by a heaven venerable.
Elder Black Feather and the others took a deep breath, their hearts filled with wild joy.
“It’s our lord.”
In fact, although Elder Black Feather and the others followed orders from above, they were unaware of which vice hall master among the eight active vice hall masters was the one on top, as the identity of the Demon Tribe's spy within Tian Gong was secretive.
They had met this person individually before but had no idea about each other's identities. They never expected to meet today in the Ancient Universe Tower.
Elder Black Feather and the others were excited and shocked, their gazes turning toward Qin Chen. The venerable power within them began to circulate slowly, just waiting for a command from their lord to strike forcefully.
“It turns out to be an active vice hall master. I wonder which senior you are among the eight active vice hall masters?
I am Qin Chen, one of the newly appointed acting vice hall masters. I wonder if you have heard of me.”
At this sudden change, Qin Chen was initially startled, but then a smile gradually appeared on his face. His tense demeanor quickly relaxed as he walked forward, cupping his hands and smiling at the cloaked figure, greeting him.
“Is this guy an idiot?”
At that moment, Elder Black Feather and the others felt dizzy.
They all knew that the cloaked heaven venerable in front of them was their superior, the one who had ordered them to lead Qin Chen here and was a powerful spy of the Demon Tribe tasked with killing Qin Chen.
The other party revealed no face and came out in such an eerie manner that any expert should be cautious and alert. But what about Qin Chen?
He actually approached nonchalantly, not showing the slightest bit of vigilance. How… how did this guy cultivate to such a level?
Elder Black Feather and the others felt somewhat speechless and even a bit sorrowful.
Damn, how could an idiot with no sense of defense obtain the source of time and become so strong, while they, ancient experts who had worked hard and even willingly allied with the Demon Tribe to improve themselves, had spent so many years in arduous cultivation, were still not his match? Had they all lived their lives as dogs?
Not to mention Elder Black Feather and the others, the heaven venerable expert who had set up the Forbidden Heaven Mirror and was ready to launch a fierce attack on Qin Chen was also stunned.
“This kid seems a bit off?”
He had originally planned to act immediately to suppress Qin Chen forcefully, but now, seeing Qin Chen approaching without any defenses, a thought crossed his mind.
This… perhaps it was an opportunity.
It should be noted that Qin Chen possessed the source of time, which was an incredibly special treasure that could trap time, making it extremely terrifying in combat and escape.
In addition, Qin Chen had a remarkable record, having continuously defeated over 1,500 strong individuals from the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm, including many half-step heaven venerable experts.
Even the strongest half-step heaven venerable could hardly withstand a few rounds against Qin Chen. This made the spy vice hall master of the Demon Tribe exceedingly vigilant.
Although he confidently considered himself far superior to Qin Chen and believed it wouldn’t be difficult to kill him, he lacked certainty about accomplishing this quietly.
If during the attempt to kill Qin Chen, the latter escaped or alerted other active vice hall masters who entered the Ancient Universe Tower due to the violent demonic energy, that would create trouble.
