Emperor Shihen was frantic as he exclaimed, “This is infuriating! It’s the first time I’ve ever been humiliated like this after all these years. I must kill him; I absolutely must kill that brat!”
Elder Yi hurriedly replied, “Lord Emperor, you must not act rashly. This person is powerful and has a mysterious identity; he likely has quite the background.”
“Hmph, what of it?”
Emperor Shihen narrowed his eyes, filled with a murderous aura. “I am the Emperor of the Shihen Imperial Sect; why should I fear a brat of unknown origins?”
Emperor Shihen said coldly, “On the Dark Continent, I might still have to think twice about him, but here on the Black Jade Continent, this place is the territory of my Shihen Imperial Sect. How can I possibly swallow this humiliation?”
Emperor Shihen suddenly turned his head and said, “Elder Yi, immediately inform all the strong members of the Imperial Sect to follow my orders.”
Elder Yi’s expression changed drastically as he anxiously said, “My lord, please calm down and plan your actions carefully.”
This was a serious matter indeed.
“Rest assured, I will not act recklessly. I will personally inform my father. If any issues arise, I will have him handle it himself.”
“Inform the Sect Master?”
Elder Yi’s eyelids twitched. “Is it really necessary to inform my father about such a trivial matter?”
“Trivial?”
Emperor Shihen scoffed as he looked at Elder Yi. “Do you really think this is trivial?”
Emperor Shihen narrowed his eyes. “Don’t forget, during this expedition to the Dark Ancestor Land, my father already ordered us to investigate the truth behind the disturbances in the Ancestor Land and to keep an eye on the actions of the Sikong Sacred Ground. Any movements must be reported immediately.”
“Now, with this mysterious brat appearing beside Lady Sikong, who has an extraordinary background and impressive strength, do you not think it’s necessary to inform my father?”
Elder Yi was taken aback. “Are you implying, my lord, that the disturbances in the Dark Ancestor Land are related to that brat?”
“It’s just a speculation, but regardless, the Sikong Sacred Ground has formed an alliance with such a character. How could this matter not be reported to my father?”
Emperor Shihen’s eyes darkened: “The Black Jade Continent is crucial to the future of my Shihen Imperial Sect. If the Sikong Sacred Ground gets the upper hand, we might very well become the sinners.”
“This subordinate understands.”
Elder Yi bowed deeply, visibly shaken.
Lord Emperor Shihen was indeed hiding his true depth; on the surface, he appeared to be a frivolous youth, but in reality, he had profound thoughts. His earlier actions were probably all just tests of the other party.
No wonder he was hailed as a Heavenly Prodigy with the potential to inherit the sect’s legacy.
Thinking of this, Elder Yi swiftly moved to inform the others.
Emperor Shihen turned his gaze back to the site of the Decomposing Blood Grave and said coldly, “Hmph, brat, no matter who you are, if you dare to be arrogant before me, prepare to face death.”
As his voice fell, Emperor Shihen’s figure suddenly vanished into the void.
At that moment, at the end of the Decomposing Blood Grave.
With a loud boom,
Qin Chen suddenly arrived in a place filled with a blood-red aura.
Behind him, a figure flashed down—it was Lady Sikong.
“What is this place?”
Lady Sikong looked around in astonishment.
What lay before her was a cave-like area, surrounded by protruding red flesh walls, giving an incredibly nauseating feel.
“What is this place?”
Lady Sikong gasped.
Although the Sikong Sacred Ground was one of the dominators of the Black Jade Continent, this was her first time inside the Decomposing Blood Grave, and it was also her first encounter with such a mysterious sight.
“You’re asking me? I’d like to ask you that.”
Qin Chen smiled as he looked ahead.
On one side of this fleshy cave, there was a passageway. The passage was not wide, just enough for three people to pass through, but it was unclear where it led.
