In front of him, waves of light from the path surged in the void ahead, and Qin Chen had already vaguely touched upon the rules of the path within the Dark Ancestor Land.
At this moment, he had reached a critical juncture, and he faintly sensed the location of the Demonic Soul Source Artifact. The layers of mist before him were gradually being peeled away.
Thus, he completely ignored Lady Sikong and was even too lazy to pay her any attention.
This left everyone present astonished and furious.
After all, she was Lady Sikong!
Such a figure was an idol in the hearts of countless heavenly prodigy experts across the Black Jade Continent, a goddess-like existence. Who wouldn’t want to have a personal audience with her on the entire continent?
The people present came from various forces of the Dark Clan, and if it were them, even if they had something extremely important at hand, they would immediately set it aside to pay respects to Lady Sikong.
It could be said that nothing in the hearts of those present was more important than Lady Sikong.
Yet here was Qin Chen?
He actually ignored her, and such behavior naturally incited anger among the crowd.
After all, such conduct was extremely disrespectful.
What kind of person was Lady Sikong?
She was the heir of Sikong Sacred Ground, a descendant of the ancestor of Sikong Sacred Ground. Such a status was immensely noble, and even the ancestors of divine nations and the heads of major sects would communicate warmly when they saw her; how could a young man dare to disregard her?
This illustrates the anger in the hearts of the attendees; Lady Sikong was a goddess in the eyes of countless people, and to be ignored was simply unforgivable.
Even the Divine Phoenix Fairy and the others were taken aback by this scene, never expecting that Qin Chen would disregard Lady Sikong to such an extent. They couldn’t help but feel anxious for him.
Oh, my ancestor.
At least respond with a word, for this is the Black Jade Continent. If you offend Lady Sikong, you may find it impossible to stand here.
Only Fei E understood.
He knew that with Qin Chen's identity, he didn’t need to particularly care about Lady Sikong; the dark royal family was the royal lineage of the entire Dark Clan. No matter which branch of the royal family Qin Chen came from, he didn’t need to show respect to her.
What Fei E was worried about, however, was that if Lady Sikong were dissatisfied with Qin Chen's actions and became furious, it would indeed bring trouble to Lord Sikong.
Thus, he felt anxious but did not dare to remind him openly, fearing Qin Chen’s displeasure.
Seeing Fei E's expression and Qin Chen's actions, Lady Sikong furrowed her brow for a moment but did not become angry. Instead, her gaze became filled with interest.
Who was she? Her vision was naturally extraordinary, and she vaguely sensed some clues.
This person before her was not deliberately putting on airs but was genuinely unaware of her presence. Qin Chen’s eyes were fixated on the sky of the Dark Ancestor Land, as if he could see through the endless void and perceive the operation of the heavenly dao of the entire Black Jade Continent.
Though Lady Sikong stood behind Qin Chen, she could feel the scorching intensity of his gaze, which even the heavens and earth could not obscure.
That invisible aura seemed to merge with the universe.
This left her astonished and curious; what was up in the sky?
Lady Sikong also directed her gaze toward the infinite heavens. She looked at the vast void, which was pitch black. Deep within that void lay the heavenly dao of the Black Jade Continent, the endless rules, and she tried to glean some clues from it.
However, she failed.
That void was like an ancient abyss, swallowing all sight.
For a moment, both sides were frozen, causing the entire scene to fall into silence.
This strange state immediately made the atmosphere awkward, and some heavenly prodigy experts felt indignant but did not dare to speak recklessly.
To them, it was evident that Lady Sikong had suffered a setback from Qin Chen and had even been ignored, making her feel embarrassed while unable to reprimand him due to her noble status. The scene became awkwardly tense.
