Everyone knew that Qian Zhan was visiting the Second Palace Master to sound out his opinion.
He wanted to test the attitude of the other Palace Masters. He wanted to work together with them to go against the Seventh Palace Master.
However, his motive was obvious. The guard captain could not help but remind him, "Governor, isn't it a little rushed for us to visit the Second Palace Master today?"
Qian Zhan obviously understood the guard captain's intention. He waved his hand and said, "What are you worried about? Are you afraid that the First Palace Master will see through my intention and harm me?
You are thinking too much! I patrol the southern region all year round and can only return to the mystic realm once every few hundred years.
When I was cultivating in the mystic realm, the Palace Masters gave me a lot of guidance and help.
Since I have returned to report to the First Palace Master, isn't it reasonable for me to pay a visit to the Palace Masters?
If anyone spreads rumors behind my back, that person is narrow-minded and is slandering me and the Palace Masters! "
Qian Zhan spoke righteously and sternly. His voice was especially loud and dignified.
Obviously, he did not say this to the guard captain. He purposely let it out for everyone to hear.
He did this because the Qian Zhan Sect wanted him to say this to shut everyone up.
The guard captain quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Governor is right. The Palace Masters took good care of you back then. Since you have returned to the mystic realm, you should pay them a visit!"
After half an hour, the guard captain finished preparing the gifts.
Qian Zhan brought the guard captain and three guards and left his residence. He rushed to the giant peak where the Second Palace Master lived.
This time, Qian Zhan did not need to take attendance. He still brought Ji Tianxing and the other two with him.
Since the other guards were not willing to go, no one took the initiative to sign up.
These three guards had been following him since he returned to the mystic realm. He was already used to it.
…
The peak where the Second Palace Master lived was obviously more lively and solemn.
There were more than forty palaces and more than ten mansions on the peak with a radius of dozens of miles. More than ten thousand people lived there.
Among them were five thousand Immortal Guards, six thousand young geniuses and elite Divine Kings, and a few thousand servants and odd-job workers.
If one observed carefully, they would find that the guards in the palaces and mansions that were arranged in picturesque disorder were full of energy and confidence.
Even the servants and odd-job workers were calm and composed, and their hearts were filled with satisfaction.
After all, they were the Second Hall Master's subordinates. Their status in the Great Universe Mystic Realm was second class.
Leading Ji Tianxing and the other three, Qian Zhan landed outside the Divine Palace where the Second Palace Master lived, immediately attracting the attention of countless people.
The guards guarding the palace, the pedestrians passing by the square in front of the palace, and the servants and handymen all looked at Xian Zhan in surprise.
Back then, Qian Zhan was also a young genius selected from the various branches. He cultivated in the Grand Universe Secret Realm for more than ten thousand times before breaking through to the God Emperor realm.
He had lived in the Grand Space Secret Realm for a very long time, so most of the young geniuses, servants, and guards knew him.
Everyone was well aware of his deeds and rumors.
Now, seeing him outside the Second Palace Master's Divine Palace, everyone was surprised and curious.
This fellow's position as Palace Master had been snatched away. Instead of complaining to the First Palace Master or confronting the Seventh Palace Master, what was he doing here at the Second Palace Master's place?
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Qian Zhan walked to the gate of the Divine Palace without changing his expression and told the guards his purpose.
"Southern Patrol Commander Qian Zhan is here to visit the Second Palace Master. Please inform him."
The guards guarding the gate of the Divine Palace looked at each other. Some of the smarter ones had already guessed Qian Zhan's purpose.
One of the guards said, "Please wait a moment." Then, he turned and entered the Divine Palace to inform the Second Palace Master.
Qian Zhan did not say much. He stood outside the gate and waited patiently.
Not long after, the guard who informed him returned.
He looked at Qian Zhan indifferently and said, "Southern Patrol Commander, the Palace Master is cultivating in seclusion. It is inconvenient for him to receive guests. Please go back."
As soon as he said that, many of the guards and passersby in front of the palace could not help but want to laugh.
Qian Zhan also felt embarrassed, but he could not show it. He would not give up easily.
"Since the Second Palace Master is cultivating in seclusion, I will not disturb him.
However, I have benefited greatly from the guidance of the Second Palace Master and have always regarded the Second Palace Master as my teacher.
It is reasonable for me to come and visit my teacher today.
I hope this guard captain can accept this token of appreciation on behalf of the Second Palace Master. "
After that, Qian Zhan asked the guard captain to take out the Space Ring that contained a large number of treasures and handed it to the guard captain.
The guard captain had obviously been instructed by the Second Palace Master to guard against Qian Zhan's trick and decisively refused.
"Southern Patrol Commander, you don't have to leave the gift. The Palace Master said that he already knows the purpose of your visit and what you want to say and do.
The Palace Master asked me to give you a sentence. Endure what ordinary people cannot endure, and you will achieve what ordinary people cannot.
That's all I have to say. I hope the Southern Patrol Commander knows what to do. "
After saying this, the silver-armored guard captain returned to his post and didn't say another word.
Qian Zhan frowned and thought for a moment. He guessed that the Second Palace Master did not want to see him for the time being to avoid suspicion.
The Second Palace Master did not even want to accept his gift.
There was no point in continuing to argue. Qian Zhan, who had hit a wall, could only turn and leave with Ji Tianxing and the others.
Under the gloating, sympathetic, and mocking gazes of the crowd, Qian Zhan and the others flew into the sky and rushed to the mountain peak where the Third Palace Master lived.
On the way, Qian Zhan was neither too fast nor too slow. His expression was calm and collected.
To be honest, he had expected that the Second Palace Master would not want to see him.
For tens of thousands of years, among the Palace Masters of the Taiyu Shrine, the First Palace Master was the absolute leader and pillar. There was no doubt about it.
As for the Second Palace Master, his position had always been aloof. He did not get too close to any of the Palace Masters, but he also did not target any of them.
In general, the Second Palace Master had always maintained a neutral and impartial attitude.
Perhaps this had something to do with the Second Palace Master's special position.
His authority was second only to the First Palace Master. Usually, the First Palace Master did not want to deal with many of the Divine Hall's affairs personally.
If he roped in another Hall Master, or suppressed another Hall Master, then he would be forming a clique and strengthening his own forces.
As long as his power grew, it would be threatening and challenging the First Palace Master's authority.
This situation was very dangerous for the Second Palace Master.
Therefore, he could maintain a neutral position for tens of thousands of years and never show any ambition.
As for the Third Palace Master … Qian Zhan was confident that he could meet him with his own eyes.
After all, the Third Palace Master had helped him the most when he was cultivating in the Taiyu Mystery Land.
As expected.
Qian Zhan led Ji Tianxing and the others to the Divine Palace where the Third Palace Master lived and asked the guard to inform him.
Not long after, the guard returned and led him into the Divine Palace to meet the Third Palace Master.
