At this moment! Outside the Ancient Universe Tower.
The True Heaven Venerable, Left Eye Venerable, and Supreme Weapon Venerable, three vice hall masters, were stationed here.
It had been over three months since the last meeting. By now, almost all the elders and stewards in the Ancient Universe Tower had left, with only a few strong individuals remaining.
Every elder and steward who left the Ancient Universe Tower was subjected to questioning and was not allowed to leave the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm freely.
The entire Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm had been strictly monitored.
Since the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable had not returned, it was the responsibility of these vice hall masters to guard the headquarters secret realm before the Venerable returned, ensuring that no incidents like before occurred again.
As time passed, other powerful figures in the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm became aware of some matters, all secretly shocked, and they strictly obeyed the orders of the vice hall masters.
The Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm was now under full lockdown.
At the entrance of the Ancient Universe Tower.
This time, the True Heaven Venerable and the three vice hall masters were stationed here. As this was the first scene of the incident, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Work had not weakened their surveillance here. They required that anyone coming out of the Ancient Universe Tower be discovered and controlled immediately.
The three of them, the True Heaven Venerable, looked serious as they sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Ancient Universe Tower.
As vice hall masters, they dealt with countless daily affairs and had many matters to focus on. They never expected to find themselves guarding the entrance of the Ancient Universe Tower one day.
“Did you feel that? The Ancient Universe Tower seemed to have trembled again earlier,” the True Heaven Venerable suddenly opened his eyes and said solemnly.
The Supreme Weapon Venerable looked over, his expression grave: “You felt it too? It should be the murderous aura inside stirring up. The murderous aura of the Ancient Universe Tower erupts once every ten thousand years, and each time lasts only a few years. It’s a grand event for our Heavenly Work’s many powerful figures. I didn’t expect this time…” The Supreme Weapon Venerable shook his head.
The True Heaven Venerable and the Left Eye Venerable sighed as well.
The turmoil of the Ancient Universe Tower, occurring once every ten thousand years, was extremely precious. However, this time, they could not refine tools inside.
They could only wait until the truth was revealed or until the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable returned before they could possibly reopen it.
“I wonder who among Blade Perception Venerable and that Qin Chen is the demon tribe spy. Regardless of who it is, why have they remained hidden in the Ancient Universe Tower without coming out for so long?” The Supreme Weapon Venerable’s gaze turned cold: “Do they think they can safely hide inside?”
“Hmph, it’s just a matter of prolonging the inevitable. Once the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable returns, they won’t be able to escape death,” the True Heaven Venerable said solemnly.
The Left Eye Venerable’s gaze was dark, his tone icy, “All demon tribe spies deserve to die.”
As they conversed, inside the Ancient Universe Tower.
Qin Chen was making his way down.
At the same time, Qin Chen was also probing the Power of the Dao of other strong individuals within the Ancient Universe Tower.
Indeed, as Qin Chen had predicted, there were hardly any people present among the other powerful figures of Heavenly Work in the Ancient Universe Tower; he could not see a single person.
“The turmoil of the Ancient Universe Tower should be a grand event within the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm. Normally, countless powerful figures would gather here, but now it’s as empty as a desert. It seems that the situation here has been exposed,” Qin Chen’s expression tightened. Although he was prepared, there was a hint of hope. Now that the situation had been exposed in the Ancient Universe Tower, he knew that the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm had likely been locked down.
