Qin Chen looked at Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable with a look of shared resentment: “Our Heavenly Work has stood for billions of years in the human race and is one of the top forces in the Human Race Alliance. Ten thousand clans seek divine weapons from our Heavenly Work.”
“When our Heavenly Work disciples go out, they may not be revered by all the ten thousand clans, but at the very least, they should be respected. Yet, the Ji Family treats our Heavenly Work like this. If I were Tianzun, I might have hesitated, but Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, you are already a supreme warrior. Why would you let the Ji Family tarnish our Heavenly Work's reputation like this?”
“Regardless of whether you can endure it or not, I certainly cannot tolerate outsiders humiliating our Heavenly Work disciples like this.”
Qin Chen was filled with righteous indignation, his killing intent surging.
“Alright, stop…” Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable hurriedly interrupted. If this kid kept going, he would soon become a shameless hall master.
“I'll give you a chance. Convince me to stand up for you.”
Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable looked at Qin Chen with a smile in his eyes.
“If you don't stand up for me, I'll go rescue them myself. Besides, I don't want the position of hall master. You can find another hall master afterward.”
Qin Chen said.
“You…” Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable's face turned ashen, glaring coldly at Qin Chen.
Boom! Suddenly, a terrifying aura pressed down on Qin Chen, making him almost unable to move.
However, Qin Chen's gaze was icy and calm.
After a moment, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable smiled: “Interesting, alright, I agree to your request.”
Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable's expression became somewhat cold: “The Ji Family actually took my disciples away without informing me. Hmph, it seems that I, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, have been too much of a good guy for so many years. The Ji Family does not take my Heavenly Work seriously at all. If they truly respected my Heavenly Work, they would at least inform the owner before taking away even a dog.”
Qin Chen's eyes widened in anger.
Damn! Who are you calling a dog?
This guy is too arrogant. If it weren't for Qin Chen not being able to match him, he would have loved to slap him away.
“Are you cursing me in your heart?”
Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable frowned at Qin Chen: “I was using a metaphor. Don’t you understand metaphors? Do you still want my help?”
“Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, please speak freely.”
Qin Chen quickly replied.
“That’s more like it.”
Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable smiled and nodded, then looked at Qin Chen: “However, before that, I need you to do two things. After you finish, I will accompany you to the Ji Family.”
“What is it?”
“What I need you to do first is to find out the remaining spies in Heavenly Work. I know you didn’t identify them using the malice of the Ancient Universe Tower; you must have another way. Regardless of the method, I want you to uncover all the spies within two hours.”
Qin Chen frowned: “I can't identify all the spies, I can only find those I can detect. However, I can already narrow it down to about eighty to ninety percent.”
Finding the spies requires using dark power to perceive them, a point Qin Chen could not reveal at the moment.
“That works too.”
Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable nodded.
“What about the second task?”
Qin Chen asked.
“We'll discuss the second task once you find the spies. The quicker you are, the better. You must not exceed two hours; I will have Ancient Craftsman Venerable and the others cooperate with you.”
Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable said.
“One hour is enough.”
After Qin Chen finished speaking, he stood up abruptly and said to Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, “Also, you haven't told me the whereabouts of Qingqiu Ziyi.”
“Haha, I thought you had forgotten. Indeed, the Monster Race is just for warming the bed; their importance is a bit lower.”
