How could an ordinary earth venerable be so carefree and calm under the presence of the three great heavenly venerables?

Unheard of, unseen.

Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry and Left Eye Venerable exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of astonishment.

Boom!

As three vice hall masters surrounded Qin Chen in an instant, powerful auras descended from the palace above the Heaven-Piercing Extreme Fire Pillar in the distance.

Ancient Craftsman Venerable, Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry, soon-to-be Heaven Venerable, Blood Qi Heaven Venerable.

The four vice hall masters arrived simultaneously.

In addition, there were also three heavenly venerable experts that Qin Chen had never seen before, appearing outside the Ancient Universe Tower. They were all elderly figures, but their blood energy surged like a raging bull, vast and unmatched.

They were always monitoring the Ancient Universe Tower, and upon receiving news from Left Eye Venerable and the others, they rushed here immediately.

The nine heavenly venerable experts gathered together.

Qin Chen's gaze became focused.

The foundation of Heavenly Work was indeed beyond his expectations.

Even with Blade Perception Venerable dead, there were still nine heavenly venerables present, not counting Lingfeng Heaven Venerable, who was guarding the place of inheritance and had not shown up.

Moreover, there must be some ancient relics within Heavenly Work that had yet to reveal themselves.

No wonder Heavenly Work could become the top force of the human race, establishing dominance in one area and boasting a formidable reputation.

As Qin Chen scrutinized the nine heavenly venerables, they were also examining him.

Aside from Ancient Craftsman Venerable and a few others who had seen Qin Chen before, the other experts were surprised, having never laid eyes on him. They were all shocked, "Is this the Qin Chen?"

He was too young.

If their auras were heavy and laden, then Qin Chen’s aura was like the morning sun, vibrant and full of life, as if it had just risen at seven or eight o'clock.

Many were astonished because, in their imagination, the one who likely emerged alive from the Ancient Universe Tower should have been Blade Perception Venerable, while Qin Chen should have been the ambushed party.

However, the result left them all surprised.

Qin Chen's gaze swept across the nine heavenly venerables, and he couldn't help but frown.

The auras of the nine heavenly venerables were all very strong; even the weakest wasn't inferior to Falling Star Venerable or Melting Flame Venerable.

The stronger ones were on par with Golden Dragon Venerable.

In fact, two of their auras were even stronger.

But none could reach the level of Demon Spirit Venerable.

This made Qin Chen furrow his brows. Something wasn't right; had Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable not returned?

This... didn't make sense.

Such a big event had occurred, and he, the founder of Heavenly Work, wouldn't come? Was he so irresponsible?

Among the crowd, Ancient Craftsman Venerable stepped forward and approached Qin Chen, speaking in a deep voice, "Qin Chen, I believe you understand why we are surrounding you here. What exactly happened in the Ancient Universe Tower?"

Ancient Craftsman Venerable fixed his gaze on Qin Chen, his expression serious.

The other heavenly venerables also looked over. Although Qin Chen’s emergence surprised them, they still weren't certain if his identity was that of a demon tribe spy, so they couldn't take him lightly.

"Ancient Craftsman Venerable, I have a suggestion. Regardless of what Qin Chen's true identity is, we should capture him first to prevent any accidents," soon-to-be Heaven Venerable suddenly said solemnly.

"Reconsider."

"I agree."

Blood Qi Heaven Venerable and Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry both chimed in.

Now, everyone was in a fog. The immediate priority was to subdue Qin Chen to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Instantly, the other heavenly venerables looked at him with deep intensity.

So far, they had no information and were unsure who the demon tribe spy was; it could be Qin Chen or Blade Perception Venerable. Thus, to prevent any unexpected events, many believed that capturing Qin Chen was a reasonable idea.
