Chapter 454: Chapter 454: One Year of Service

Watching everyone’s panicked expressions, the Great Elder furrowed his brows and said displeasedly, "What’s all this panic? If Mr. Qin really wanted to settle accounts, would he need his secretary to come and announce it?"

"This..."

The group of bosses exchanged uneasy looks.

They hadn’t witnessed the aftermath of the previous battle firsthand, but they could sense just how intense it was.

Since Qin Chuan had survived, it meant he was the ultimate victor. This alone was proof enough of Qin Chuan’s strength.

Therefore, their first reaction upon learning that Qin Chuan was coming to the Battle Domain was to be so frightened that they lost their composure.

"The Great Elder is right, if Mr. Qin really wanted to settle accounts, he probably would have stormed into the meeting room by now. Would he need his secretary to announce it?"

Lu Yaozong stood up at this moment, addressing everyone. Then, he strode towards the exit, saying as he walked, "Mr. Qin is someone I invited from Jiangcheng City. You all fear his retribution, I do not!"

By the time he finished speaking, he had already disappeared from the meeting room.

The Great Elder also hurriedly left, regardless of what Qin Chuan had come for. One thing was certain, they could no longer treat Qin Chuan with the same attitude as before.

A supremely monstrous talent who could suppress the martial artists of the entire Battle Domain, who else in Shen Zhou had the right to demand such a monster lower his stance?

Absolutely no one!

Soon, the group of bosses came to their senses and followed the Great Elder outside to greet him.

Lu Yaozong was the first to leave the meeting room, and when he saw Qin Chuan outside, he found that Qin Chuan was holding a woman in his arms.

"Mr. Qin!"

Lu Yaozong hurried forward, his face full of guilt as he looked at Qin Chuan. He wanted to say something but suddenly didn’t know what he could say.

At this moment, the Great Elder also arrived with a group of Battle Domain bosses in tow.

"Mr. Qin, the Battle Domain failed to arrange a strong warrior to assist you; it’s all my fault. If Mr. Qin wishes to blame someone, then blame me."

The Great Elder looked at Qin Chuan with a complex expression. Without any hesitation, he directly admitted his fault, taking all the blame upon himself.

"Great Elder!"

Seeing this, the other Battle Domain bosses became anxious.

"Shut up, all of you!"

The Great Elder, fearing that others might say the wrong thing, interrupted them before they could speak further, his stern gaze sweeping over everyone as he said coldly, "I call the shots in the entire Battle Domain; if no one assisted, then it’s my fault."

"Mr. Qin, you can’t blame the Great Elder for everything. After all, the Ancient Martial World’s warriors intervened. Should the Battle Domain have intervened, not only would we have been unable to help you in the slightest, but we would also have become a target for the Ancient Martial World’s forces. Then, the Battle Domain would truly be in danger."

"Mr. Qin, the Great Elder has already done his best to assist you. Unfortunately, the warriors of the Battle Domain are too weak; even if the strongest, the Sovereign Master, rushed back, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be qualified to intervene in the battle between you and the Ancient Martial World’s warriors."

...

For a moment, everyone hastily spoke out to explain, fearing that Qin Chuan, in a fit of rage, might decimate the entire Battle Domain.

Throughout it all, Qin Chuan hadn’t said a word, not because he didn’t want to, but because he simply had no opportunity to.

Only when the babble of voices gradually subsided did he look at the Great Elder and say, "Great Elder, I would like to talk to you in private!"

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy scene immediately quieted down.

The Great Elder, taken aback for a moment, felt a surge of relief and nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, let’s talk privately!"

He had not felt any fluctuation of martial path aura from Qin Chuan’s body nor seen a hint of hatred in Qin Chuan’s eyes.

The crucial point was that Qin Chuan still referred to him as "Great Elder," and that was enough.

With a sweeping glance at the gathered bosses, the Great Elder rebuked, "All of you roll back to wherever you came from!"

After saying this, he intended to leave with Qin Chuan, but suddenly, he thought of something. He stopped in his tracks and turned to his secretary, commanding, "Prepare a secrecy agreement for everyone present. Not a single word about anything that happened to Mr. Qin today may be revealed. Those who violate this will have their entire clans annihilated!"

The moment these last words were uttered, an overwhelming aura of death swept over the whole place.

All the bosses felt the intent to kill and realized the gravity of the situation.

They knew, if anyone dared to reveal today’s events, the Great Elder would truly exterminate that person’s entire clan.

By the time everyone had recovered from their shock, the Great Elder had already left with Qin Chuan.

In a secret base hundreds of meters beneath the Battle Domain Headquarters, only the Great Elder, Qin Chuan, and Song Yan, who was being held by Qin Chuan, were present.

"This is the secret base of the Battle Domain Headquarters where heavenly treasures are stored. The staff responsible for sorting the heavenly treasures are heroes who, after retiring from the Battle Domain, volunteer to work here for life," said the Great Elder solemnly. Then he turned his gaze to Qin Chuan and added, "You can freely take any heavenly treasures you need, but I can only agree to let you take ten pieces, please understand, Mr. Qin."

Qin Chuan looked at the neatly arranged array of heavenly treasures in the hall, somewhat surprised.

In the vast base, there were at least a thousand kinds of heavenly treasures.

Even in the Kunlun Divine Prison, he had never seen such an astonishing sight of so many heavenly treasures gathered together.

Unexpectedly, there was a place like this in the Secular World, with a thousand kinds of heavenly treasures.

Qin Chuan curiously asked, "How did you know I came to you for heavenly treasures?"

The Great Elder gave a wry smile and said, "Mr. Qin was fighting for the Battle Domain and encountered the ancient martial world’s mighty figures. When Mr. Qin was in dire straits, the Battle Domain dared not assist. It is the Battle Domain that owes Mr. Qin."

"My purpose in bringing you here is twofold: firstly, I hope to obtain Mr. Qin’s understanding through ten heavenly treasures. Secondly, I hope Mr. Qin would contribute something for the millions of warriors of the Battle Domain," the Great Elder said. Then he bowed deeply to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan looked at the Great Elder bowing before him with a complex expression on his face, feeling quite conflicted.

Soon, a gentle force lifted the Great Elder up.

Qin Chuan spoke, "Great Elder, you take this too seriously. I have never harbored any thoughts of blame towards the Battle Domain. In that kind of large-scale battle, there was no way for the Battle Domain to intervene. Even if they had sent top fighters to aid me, it would have only increased losses without affecting the outcome of the battle one bit."

After hearing his words, the Great Elder’s heart, which had been in suspense, finally settled down.

In the conference room, he had seemed unafraid of Qin Chuan seeking revenge, but in reality, he was incredibly anxious.

The Great Elder’s eyes immediately reddened, "Mr. Qin is magnanimous!"

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly, then said, "To be frank with the Great Elder, the reason I wanted to talk to you alone is indeed because of the heavenly treasures. I don’t need ten pieces; I only need two. As long as the Great Elder can help me find these two pieces, I am willing to serve the Battle Domain for one year!"

The Great Elder was struck dumb on the spot, taking a full ten seconds to come back to his senses, then immediately overflowed with joy, hastily saying, "Not to mention two pieces, even if it were twenty, as long as Mr. Qin is willing to serve the Battle Domain for one year, I guarantee that I will present the heavenly treasures you need with both hands!"

If the Battle Domain could secure the services of a powerful figure like Qin Chuan for a year, it would be an incredibly joyful event for the Battle Domain.

At Qin Chuan’s level of cultivation, he had no regard for the matters of the Secular World, let alone a willingness to serve in the Battle Domain for a year.

Moreover, Qin Chuan was a bona fide Alchemist. If he joined the Battle Domain, he would surely concoct a batch of top-tier elixirs and healing holy medicines for them.

Without exaggeration, with Qin Chuan joining the Battle Domain for a year, the overall strength of the Shen Zhou Battle Domain could increase by at least a decade’s worth of development.

Qin Chuan looked at the excited Great Elder and said, "I only need two heavenly treasures, the Nine-Turned Soul Jade and the Immortal Soul Spring!"
