"Dark Clan members!"
As Qin Chen was being stared at by several Dark Clan members, a surge of killing intent immediately welled up in his heart. His gaze flickered, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his body.
Boom!
An astonishing dark aura enveloped these few Dark Clan members like a vast ocean. At this moment, Qin Chen had already harbored the intent to kill.
In this Dark Clan territory, Qin Chen dared not use any other powers, fearing that it might alert the stronger members of the Dark Clan. He could only rely on dark power.
The chilling dark power surged like a tide towards the few Dark Clan members.
Killing intent surrounded them!
The cultivation levels of these Dark Clan members were merely those of ordinary heavenly venerables. Qin Chen knew that if he struck directly, he would have a ninety percent chance of killing them without causing any commotion.
Of course, Qin Chen was also somewhat worried about whether these individuals had any hidden restrictions on them. If he killed them and attracted the attention of the Dark Clan experts deep within the world, it would spell trouble.
But in this situation, Qin Chen had no other choice, as he couldn’t withstand their inquiries.
Once exposed, he would not only fail to obtain the Demonic Soul Source Artifact, but he would likely need to flee immediately.
Just as Qin Chen's attack was about to land on these individuals, he saw them suddenly kneel respectfully before him, trembling as they spoke, "This subordinate, Black Jade Continent Inspector, has not maliciously encountered the imperial envoy. I hope the envoy can quell his anger."
The expressions of these Dark Clan members were filled with terror and they trembled as they spoke. Their eyes were filled with utmost respect, as if they were subjects before an emperor. Despite Qin Chen's impending strike, they showed no courage to resist.
They seemed to submit to being slaughtered.
This was definitely suspicious.
Qin Chen’s gaze flickered; he had noticed that their attitudes towards him were quite strange, as if they had mistaken him for someone else.
With a cold snort, Qin Chen said, "Humph, you have quite the audacity to block this imperial envoy?!"
With his hands behind his back, Qin Chen stood proudly in the void, an aura akin to that of a deity pressing down on the Dark Clan members.
The few Dark Clan members knelt even lower, trembling as they replied, "Imperial envoy, we have eyes yet did not recognize the Dark Divine Mountain. We have angered you, and we are completely at your mercy."
"However, we are merely patrol envoys under Lord Sikong. The reason we offended you is that our guardian of the Eternal Abyss of Demons entrance, Lord Gu Yi, mysteriously disappeared a few days ago, seemingly harmed by the Abyss Demon Tribe. Therefore, we were ordered to patrol the Eternal Abyss of Demons and Black Jade Continent strictly during this period to avoid any oversight."
"When we saw the fluctuations in this prohibition and noticed the absence of an entry token, we thought something was amiss. It was a coincidence that we saw the imperial envoy emerge from here, which caused our offense. We hope the imperial envoy can forgive us and spare us our lives."
These Dark Clan members were exceptionally terrified, trembling as they pleaded for mercy.
"Gu Yi, could it be the powerful Dark Clan member I killed in the Eternal Abyss of Demons?"
Qin Chen's heart stirred slightly.
However, his expression remained calm as he stood unmoving and coldly said, "Oh, according to your words, you had no intention of offending this imperial envoy. It was merely a misunderstanding?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Imperial envoy, your status is noble, even Lord Sikong must be respectful when facing you. How could we dare offend?"
"Indeed, it was merely a misunderstanding. If we had known that the imperial envoy was here in disguise, we wouldn't have dared to act against you, even if we had ten more lives."
"Please grant us your mercy, imperial envoy."
These heavenly venerable level Dark Clan members appeared terrified, like ants begging for mercy.
