The soon-to-be heaven venerable furrowed his brow and said, "No evidence? Then that's just your empty words. Do you know that the Blade Perception Venerable is the vice hall master of our Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm? How could we convict him based solely on your words?"
The Blood Qi Heaven Venerable added, "That's right, Qin Chen. You are also the acting vice hall master. You should understand that we cannot merely accept your one-sided claims to determine the guilt of the Blade Perception Venerable."
The Left Eye Venerable said, "Regardless of the truth, this is a matter of great importance. For now, we can only inconvenience you a little. Rest assured, if you are innocent, we will not take any action against you. Once the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable returns and clarifies the truth, you will naturally be allowed to leave."
Qin Chen frowned.
"When will that be?"
Qin Chen spoke in a low voice.
The Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry replied solemnly, "Perhaps until the Blade Perception Venerable and Elder Heiyu appear from the Ancient Universe Tower. You will confront the truth. If you can prove your innocence, we will naturally let you go."
"Qin Chen, since you are a disciple of Heavenly Work, you should understand that we are left with no other choice. I hope you can understand us," many of the vice hall masters said in unison.
Qin Chen was an unstable factor. Regardless of whether he was innocent or not, they could not allow him to leave freely.
An anxious look suddenly appeared on Qin Chen's face.
"This is impossible."
He shouted angrily.
Boom! Instantly, several terrifying auras descended.
The vice hall masters took a step forward, focusing their gazes on Qin Chen, and shouted, "Qin Chen, don't be stubborn. If you are innocent, we will naturally not do anything to you, unless you are a demon tribe spy. That would explain your urgency."
At this moment, the Ancient Craftsman Venerable stepped forward and sighed, "Qin Chen, it would be fine if you had evidence, but since you do not, we can only inconvenience you for a while. However, rest assured, I can guarantee that we won’t harm you; it’s just a temporary house arrest."
The Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry said in a low voice, "Qin Chen, stop resisting. Otherwise, we might really take action. Right now, Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable is dealing with important matters and may not return for some time. But you don’t have to worry too much. If the Blade Perception Venerable comes out of the Ancient Universe Tower, he will receive the same treatment, and if you can go to court and find the actual spy, we will naturally let you go."
Qin Chen was speechless.
Wait for the Blade Perception Venerable to confront him?
What a joke! The Blade Perception Venerable was in his Chaotic World, how could he possibly come out for a confrontation?
It seemed he could only wait for the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable to return.
But when would that be?
Qin Chen thought that after such a big incident, over three months had passed, and the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable should have returned by now. However, it turned out that the other party had other matters to handle—when would that be?
Furthermore, Qin Chen couldn’t be sure that there were no demon tribe spies among the powerful individuals present. If he were to be imprisoned, his strength would surely be restricted; if the demon tribe had other backup plans, once he was sealed, it would undoubtedly be dangerous.
If the demon tribe initiated the death interval plan, they would rather sacrifice another heaven venerable expert targeting him, wouldn’t that mean he would be doomed?
Buzz! At this moment, Qin Chen silently activated the Eye of Creation, focusing on the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm.
Boom! Suddenly, vast pathways surged through the heavens and the earth, all emanating from the pathways of heaven venerable experts. The sheer number made Qin Chen’s expression change, and he gasped in shock.
It was absolutely impossible to break out.
