Tongtian's expression remained calm, but Primordial Heavenly Venerable's face changed drastically.
He had originally thought that, since the Chan Sect's defeat could no longer be changed, at least there would be something of a consolation prize.
After all, nearly everyone on the Investiture of the Gods List now belonged to the Chan Sect's upper ranks.
