No one dared to imagine.
In an instant, the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm was filled with tension. This large-scale investigation made the remaining seven Hall Masters vigilant, and no one dared to handle such matters freely.
They could only wait for Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable to return before they could feel at ease.
Fortunately, after their continuous messaging, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable finally received the news. Upon hearing it, he was extremely shocked.
He immediately stated that he needed another three months, and within that time, he would definitely return to the Headquarters Secret Realm.
Such a big matter couldn't be ignored, no matter how important other matters were for Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable; he would surely rush back at the earliest opportunity.
Upon hearing the message from Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, Left Eye Venerable and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure was too great.
Even though they were vice hall masters, they couldn't make any decisions regarding such a significant event.
Now that they knew Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable was going to return, they felt a sense of relief. Although it would take around three more months, it gave them a feeling of having a backbone.
"Three months, as long as we wait three months, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable will return, and at that time, it will all be easier for us."
In the Council Hall, the seven vice hall masters all breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, before Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable returns, I propose we enforce martial law in the Heavenly Work, prohibiting anyone from going outside. The passages to the Headquarters Secret Realm will also be under strict control," Ancient Craftsman Venerable said solemnly.
This was a precautionary measure.
In three days, nearly sixty demon tribe spies had been identified. If this news reached the Demon Tribe, it would undoubtedly cause a stir. Who knew what actions the Demon Tribe would take?
"Additionally, I propose that the news of Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable's return in three months should be kept between us seven; there is no need to inform anyone else. Even other heavenly venerables must keep their mouths shut," Ancient Craftsman Venerable scanned the crowd.
"This...?" True Heaven Venerable frowned slightly.
"This is necessary to prevent the Demon Tribe from learning about Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable's movements," Ancient Craftsman Venerable stated, fixing his gaze on everyone.
"Very well."
"Agreed."
Since the discussion had reached this point, naturally no one objected.
Immediately, the entire Heavenly Work began to enforce strict supervision.
Considering the special circumstances, although many elders and stewards initially expressed confusion, ultimately everyone agreed to the plan.
In the Ancient Universe Tower,
Qin Chen was exhausted.
Having identified nearly sixty demon tribe spies, the attitude of the seven vice hall masters toward him had changed significantly, yet they remained vigilant.
"Qin Chen, you don't need to feel psychological pressure. Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable will return in three months, and your innocence will naturally be proven," Ancient Craftsman Venerable said, squinting.
Qin Chen felt a surge of joy; three months was a wait he could endure.
"No problem, but this time, I might need to rest for a couple more days."
There was no choice; the power of creation was so scarce on the first try that every time Qin Chen activated it, the consumption was significant. Moreover, repeatedly using the dark king blood power under the watchful eyes of so many powerful beings was not without risk.
"No problem, you can even return to your own residence to rest," Ancient Craftsman Venerable smiled.
Qin Chen immediately glanced deeply at Ancient Craftsman Venerable, "Then thank you, Ancient Craftsman Venerable."
Ancient Craftsman Venerable replied lightly, "No need to thank me; the other vice hall masters agreed too. At least for now, the likelihood of you being a demon tribe spy is much lower."
