Not only did the Dark Thunder Ancestor show shock, but the other phantoms around also revealed expressions of astonishment.

They naturally knew who the Asura Seventeen mentioned by Your Excellency was; it was the Asura prisoner ranked seventeenth back in the day.

Such a figure was at least a strong hand among the supreme experts at that time. How could he easily be annihilated?

The Dark Thunder Ancestor exclaimed in shock, "Your Excellency, are you serious? This... this is impossible, right?"

How could a supreme-level ancestor, even if it was just a remnant soul, easily fall?

Others might not know, thinking that these top experts had completely fallen back then.

However, as the parties involved, the Dark Thunder Ancestor and the others were very clear that they had not completely fallen.

Rather, they had survived through cooperation with a certain high-ranking individual from back then and the Underworld, utilizing a special secret method in a unique way.

They were all carrying missions and tasks.

As long as they could complete the tasks they bore, they could be resurrected once more, even reaching a higher level.

But now, the fact that Asura Seventeen had completely disappeared left them in shock.

"I find it strange as well," Your Excellency squinted. "That Asura Seventeen had been lingering outside the Dark Ancestor Land to devour various life forces for his revival. But just not long ago, I sensed that this person's soul abruptly vanished completely, not leaving a trace of life force behind; something unexpected must have happened!"

"Hiss!" The Dark Thunder Ancestor's eyes widened suddenly. "Your Excellency, the Black Jade Continent is the territory of our Demon Tribe. That Asura Seventeen, before his fall, was a mid-stage supreme. Even if he fell, his strength would not be something ordinary people could harm. How could it…"

"This is also my doubt," Your Excellency narrowed his eyes. "The death of that Asura is by no means simple. There are no more than five people in the entire Black Jade Continent who could kill him. Since Sikong Zhen has long been stationed at the Dark Ancestor Land, it would be impossible to say that this matter has nothing to do with him."

The Dark Thunder Ancestor was taken aback. "Are you saying that Asura Seventeen was killed by Sikong Zhen?"

"It's only a possibility, but even if that Asura Seventeen was not killed by Sikong Zhen, it must be related to him."

"Then why did Your Excellency hesitate just now? You should have captured Sikong Zhen's divine thought avatar earlier and questioned him for the reason," the Dark Thunder Ancestor said angrily.

The other phantoms also radiated a cold aura.

Your Excellency's expression darkened as he coldly looked at the Dark Thunder Ancestor and the others, his face grim. "This is what I wanted to warn you about."

Your Excellency raised his head, looking into the void. "Tell me, what do we capture Sikong Zhen for? Is it to take revenge for Asura Seventeen? Ridiculous."

Everyone was taken aback.

Your Excellency shook his head. "That Asura Seventeen is merely a prisoner. Back then, he was given this chance for revival only because he did something with us. But after all, he is just a prisoner; how can he be compared to us?"

"What we need to do now is complete our mission, obtain the Demon Tribe's treasure, truly remove the obstacles for that Lord, and control this universe."

"And Sikong Zhen, no matter what, is one of the three powerful figures guarding the Black Jade Continent. If we make enemies with him, would that not be seeking our own humiliation? What benefit would it bring to me or you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Your Excellency looked in the direction where Qin Chen and the others had left, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Moreover, don't forget that the death of that Lord back then is related to us. Now, we can only hold tightly to that Lord's thigh; otherwise, even if we revive in the future, we will find it difficult to move in the Dark Continent."

Hearing what Your Excellency said, all the phantoms around fell silent, their expressions filled with trepidation.
