The Divine Ship landed outside a Divine Palace.
Ji Tianxing followed the guards and left the Divine Ship.
Qian Zhan was the last to leave. He waved his hand and put away the Divine Ship. Escorted by the guards, he returned to the Divine Palace.
The guard captain ordered everyone to return to their rooms to rest. Only three guards were left to accompany Qian Zhan to report to the First Hallmaster.
When the guard captain called out his name, Ji Tianxing took a step forward and stood closer to the guard captain, in a more conspicuous position.
Thus, the guard captain didn't think much and called out his name.
Just like that, Ji Tianxing followed the guard captain and Qian Zhan into the sky, heading straight for the First Hallmaster's residence.
Ji Tianxing was keenly aware that the guards who weren't named didn't reveal looks of regret. Instead, they revealed looks of joy in their eyes.
As for the two guards beside him, they were also serious in speech and manner. Their expressions were solemn and dignified.
Ji Tianxing felt it. Accompanying Qian Zhan to report to the First Hallmaster wasn't a good job.
After all, the guards all knew that Qian Zhan's Seventh Hallmaster position had been snatched away. Qian Zhan was furious and angry.
If this hot-tempered Governor had a verbal argument or conflict with the Lord Hallmaster, they would suffer as well.
In addition, the results of Qian Zhan's investigation in the south weren't satisfactory.
After the First Hallmaster heard the results, he would scold and reprimand Qian Zhan.
Lowly guards like them wouldn't have a good time.
But Ji Tianxing didn't care. He just wanted to take this opportunity to understand the First Hallmaster's situation.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the First Hallmaster couldn't see through his disguise and see that he was possessed.
… …
Soon, Qian Zhan, escorted by four guards, flew to the First Hallmaster's residence.
The group descended from the sky and landed outside the most majestic and sacred gate of the Great Universe Divine Palace.
The resplendent palace exuded a solemn and dignified aura.
The twenty guards outside the gate wore bright silver armor and held golden spears in their hands. They looked very awe-inspiring.
Most likely, the guards guarding the Great Universe Divine Palace had a higher status than the other Divine Guards.
As for the guards under the Southern Patrol Governor, they were a motley crew that couldn't be compared to them.
Thus, when Qian Zhan stated his purpose, the silver-armored guard captain only nodded and expressionlessly entered the Divine Palace to report.
The other guards also remained motionless, not saying a word.
A moment later, the silver-armored guard captain returned to the gate and said, "Southern Patrol Governor, please go to the study to see the Hallmaster..
Qian Zhan didn't say much. He led Ji Tianxing and the others up the stairs and into Taiyu Divine Palace, heading for the study.
It was only at this moment that Ji Tianxing realized that the unmoving silver-armored guards were looking at them with complicated gazes.
There was 70% disdain and 30% scrutiny in his tone.
It felt like he was inspecting the guards of the Southern Patrol Governor to see if there were any violations of the rules.
Even on the way to the study, passing through the hall and the walkway under the eaves, they met a few groups of silver-armored guards. They all had the same look.
Ji Tianxing finally understood. It was no wonder the other guards were unwilling to come to the Great Universe Divine Palace.
How could a normal Desolate race young Godly King endure the condescending gazes of the silver-armored guards and their disdainful looks?
They were all guards and middle-level Godly Kings. How could they be looked down upon by others?
Furthermore, the danger had yet to come.
"Southern Patrol Governor Qian Zhan requests an audience with the Lord Hallmaster!"
Qian Zhan led everyone to the outside of the study. He bowed with his hands clasped in front of his chest and shouted loudly.
The eight silver-armored guards guarding the study were clearly the Lord Hallmaster's trusted guards. They were all high-level Godly Kings.
They appeared to be even more dignified and aloof as they looked down at Ji Tianxing and the others with condescending gazes.
Of course, the Southern Patrol Governor was an exception.
Following that, a deep and dignified male voice came from the study.
"Come in."
The silver-armored guards at the door opened the study. Qian Zhan's expression was calm as he carefully stepped into the study.
After he entered the study, the silver-armored guards closed the door again.
As for Ji Tianxing and the other three, they could only wait outside the study. They were not qualified to enter the study.
The other three lowered their heads and maintained a respectful and cautious posture.
Only Ji Tianxing took the opportunity to glance into the study when the door was open.
He glanced into the study. Behind the large desk, there was a white-haired old man in an exquisite purple robe sitting on a divine jade throne.
Unsurprisingly, the dignified old man with a square face and wide nose was not from the Desolate race. He was from the God race of the God world.
It was said that he was second only to the mysterious Patriarch. He was the most likely expert to obtain eternal life, the God Emperor.
Ji Tianxing also felt the aura of an upper level God Emperor. He confirmed the Lord Hallmaster's strength.
Thankfully, the Lord Hallmaster was leaning on the throne with his eyes closed. He was deep in thought.
As for the guards outside the study, as well as Ji Tianxing's gazes, he did not care.
The study door was closed, but the defensive array was not activated.
Hence, after Qian Zhan entered the study, he bowed to the Lord Hallmaster and reported the situation. Ji Tianxing heard everything clearly.
He even heard the Lord Hallmaster reprimanding Qian Zhan with a dignified and deep voice for not handling the matter properly.
After fifteen minutes, Qian Zhan finished his report. The Lord Hallmaster also issued an order to make the final decision on the matter.
After Qian Zhan acknowledged the order, he prepared to leave the study.
However, the Lord Hallmaster asked him to stay and took the initiative to mention the matter of the Seventh Hallmaster.
"Qian Zhan, everyone knows. Back then, I promised you that I would give you the position of Seventh Hallmaster.
And now, I have given the position of Seventh Hallmaster to someone else. What are your thoughts on this matter? "
Back in Green Heart City, Qian Gui had warned Qian Zhan that he would encounter such a situation. He also taught Qian Zhan how to deal with it.
Therefore, Qian Zhan responded unhurriedly and showed a guilty look. He replied, "Lord Hallmaster, you promised me this matter back then to motivate me.
I can only blame myself for being untalented and not being diligent enough in cultivation. My strength has stagnated and I am ashamed of the Divine Hall's cultivation.
As for your appointment of Seventh Hallmaster, you naturally have your reasons and considerations.
I am neither qualified nor dare to have any thoughts. "
The Lord Hallmaster seemed to be satisfied with this answer. After nodding, he continued, "It's best that you don't have any thoughts. Even if you are still a little unhappy, I still hope that you can maintain your rationality and restraint.
Don't be emotional when carrying out tasks and orders. Otherwise, I will punish you more than today. "
Qian Zhan acted as if he was treading on thin ice and repeatedly said that he did not dare to.
The Lord Hallmaster waved his hand and ordered him to leave.
Therefore, Qian Zhan left the study with his tail between his legs.
With a black face, he did not say a word and left with Ji Tianxing and the others.
The silver-armored guards guarding the door all revealed looks of disdain and schadenfreude.
