Outside the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm, in the Fire Source Secret Realm, a flash of spatial power appeared, and Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable and others had already vanished.
Within the Fire Source Secret Realm, on various refiner stars, many external disciples of Heavenly Work were channeling the power of star flames to refine divine weapons.
Among them, several disciples occasionally lifted their heads to glance at a certain direction in the void.
That place was precisely the entrance to the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm.
"According to the intelligence, Lord Void Ancient Supreme should have already entered the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm. Why hasn’t there been any news at all?"
These disciples refining weapons for Heavenly Work furrowed their brows, but their faces showed no distinction; they even chatted and laughed with the other disciples as usual.
However, they were actually undercover spies for the Demon Tribe, stationed on the refiner stars outside the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm.
Because the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm was completely sealed off, no news could be transmitted out, and they could only observe with their naked eyes to check for any movements in the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm.
Yet, as they waited silently, they saw no fluctuations at all.
It wasn't just them; outside the Fire Source Secret Realm, in the vast and desolate starry sky, there were also some powerful beings lurking on barren planets, secretly monitoring the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm, quietly waiting for news.
At this moment.
In the territory of the Demon Tribe.
Yuanmo Ancestor squinted at the towering figure kneeling before him and said in a deep voice, "Void Ancient Supreme, hasn’t any news come in yet?"
The towering figure replied respectfully, "Returning to the Ancestor, there hasn't been any news sent back. The last message we received was half a day ago when Void Ancient Supreme informed us that he had infiltrated the Fire Source Secret Realm, and then there has been nothing since."
"Have any of the spies on the refiner stars within the Fire Source Secret Realm or our people in the Headquarters Secret Realm sent back any information?"
Yuanmo Ancestor frowned.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Returning to the Ancestor, everything is calm; there hasn't been a single word."
The towering figure continued, "According to the previous intelligence, the current Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm is under very strict lockdown. Even the entrance must be tended to by two vice hall masters in rotation. Currently, there are seven vice hall masters in the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm, so it’s possible our people haven’t had their turn at guarding the entrance yet, which is why Void Ancient Supreme likely hasn’t found an opportunity to act."
Yuanmo Ancestor nodded, "That is a possibility. What about the other forces within the human race?"
"From the intelligence returned by the Bone Tribe, Insect Tribe, and others, the human realm is currently calm, with no signs of any unusual activity."
The towering figure reported.
Yuanmo Ancestor nodded and let out a slight sigh of relief, realizing it seemed he had been overly concerned.
Moreover, with Void Ancient Supreme's means and divine abilities, even if he didn't succeed, he could still retreat safely. The only regret was that they might lose a vice hall master-level spy on their side.
However, if they could kill that Qin Chen and destroy Heavenly Work, it would all be worth it.
"Keep a close watch on any movements within Heavenly Work. Also, the Spatial Ancient Beast Clan should send someone to keep guard. If there are any changes, notify me immediately," Yuanmo Ancestor commanded.
"Yes, Ancestor."
The towering figure replied respectfully, then bent slightly and carefully withdrew.
What Yuanmo Ancestor didn’t know was that while he awaited news from Void Ancient Supreme, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable had already taken Qin Chen and six others to leave the human realm quickly, heading towards the Spatial Ancient Beast Clan.
