Martial Master

Although the Heavenly Work suffered heavy losses this time, with three vice hall masters either falling or being captured and imprisoned by Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, all the Demon Tribe spies within Heavenly Work have been completely cleared out. Now, Heavenly Work is unburdened and light.

Whoosh! Several figures rushed over, and Qin Chen and Ancient Craftsman Venerable arrived, respectfully greeting Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable.

"Greetings, Hall Master."

Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable nodded and then spoke to the Headquarters Secret Realm, "In light of this battle and the performance of acting vice hall master Qin Chen, I hereby declare that starting today, Qin Chen will be the official vice hall master of Heavenly Work. Furthermore, in my absence, everyone should listen to his commands as acting hall master."

What?

Boom! The entire Heavenly Work was in an uproar, shocked and shaken.

No one had any objections to Qin Chen being appointed as the vice hall master. Given the vacancies of the three vice hall masters and Qin Chen's strength and current reputation, it was indeed reasonable for him to take on the role.

However, the title of acting hall master caused everyone to change color.

"Hall Master, this..." Many people began to murmur.

Especially the five vice hall masters, who looked seriously at Qin Chen. Was Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable intending to pass the position of hall master to Qin Chen?

Were they cultivating a successor?

They had to think this way, as there had never been a position of acting hall master in the history of Heavenly Work, nor had there been a precedent for a vice hall master to serve as acting hall master.

Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable had been absent from the Headquarters Secret Realm for a long time, and matters had always been discussed collectively by the eight vice hall masters. But now, with the appearance of an acting hall master, Qin Chen's position had suddenly surpassed theirs.

Even the vice hall masters had to obey the commands of the acting hall master.

Why was that?

Of course, with Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable's great reputation in Heavenly Work, no one dared to voice this question. However, regardless, many hall masters and even several heavenly venerables held doubts and discontent in their hearts.

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable looked indifferently at the five vice hall masters, scanning all the powerful figures present.

"We have no objections."

Immediately, the five vice hall masters and countless strong individuals lowered their heads.

After breaking through to supreme, Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable's authority was even more intimidating—who would dare to contradict him?

Moreover, it was just an acting hall master; after all, Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable was still around.

Beside them, Qin Chen was speechless. He would rather not take on this acting hall master role; Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable was putting him on the hot seat.

This position was uncomfortable for anyone who occupied it.

"Besides that, we still have two vice hall master positions vacant. Um, if anyone wishes to take on the role, please perform well."

"At the same time, considering that the crisis has not been completely resolved, no one is allowed to leave the Headquarters Secret Realm, and entry into the Heaven-Piercing Extreme Fire Pillar area is also forbidden. Once anyone enters, they will be killed without mercy."

As soon as these words fell, Lord Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable raised his hand.

Boom! The seven-colored flames formed by the Heaven-Piercing Extreme Fire Pillar erupted violently, engulfing everything and obscuring the sky, even covering the vice hall master palaces, Treasury Hall, and other locations, not to mention the entrance, which was completely submerged in flames.

Anyone who intruded into that area, no matter how strong, even a heavenly venerable, would fall.

Given the previous events, no one voiced any objections.
