At this moment, Elder Luo Wen and the others were all stunned by the scene before them.
“Lord Sikong Zhen, should we stop this person?”
“He is devouring the qilin ancestor! The qilin ancestor is the mount of Lord Ancestor. If Lord Ancestor finds out that the qilin ancestor is being devoured right in front of us, then…”
“Yes, we should intervene, rescue the qilin ancestor, and turn hostility into peace.”
Elder Luo Wen and many powerful beings looked towards Sikong Zhen.
Even Elder Gu He, who had not been inclined to support the qilin ancestor before, was now pleading for him.
There was no other reason.
It was simply because the qilin ancestor was, after all, a mount of the ancestor, considered one of their own.
However, as soon as they turned around, they saw Sikong Zhen’s eyes wide open, his pupils filled with terror, as if he had seen a ghost.
“What… what… what…”
Sikong Zhen stumbled back, his gaze fixed on Qin Chen, filled with fear and astonishment.
Impossible.
How could this be?
At this moment, Sikong Zhen was utterly shocked.
Because from the aura released by Qin Chen, he felt a power that completely suppressed him on a soul level.
Royal blood power! That kid is from the dark royal family?
How could this be?
The shock in Sikong Zhen’s heart was beyond description.
Why had he been punished by the Dark Clan in the past and stationed in the Black Jade Continent to atone for his sins?
It was because he had followed the royal family’s Lord Indra back then and was one of the vanguards beside Lord Indra.
Later, Lord Indra was framed, falling into a trap set by the human race, perishing in this universe, leading to a massive defeat for the Dark Clan in their invasion of this universe.
As Lord Indra’s vanguard general and part of the guard army, he had been severely negligent in his duties, so it was only natural for him to be punished harshly.
Now, he actually sensed a similar royal blood aura from Qin Chen that he had felt from Lord Indra.
Could this person… be from the same royal lineage as Lord Indra?
As this thought emerged, Sikong Zhen’s heart trembled.
Yes, it must be so.
Combining everything that Qin Chen had done on the Black Jade Continent, his talent and strength, along with the attitude of Fei E and others, Sikong Zhen felt dizzy, his mouth dry, and his heart nearly bursting.
Fei E was an inspector under his command. Under his orders, how could he not inform him about the identity of the person before him, even risking being thrown into prison and endangering his life?
This simply made no sense.
No interest would compel an inspector like Fei E to withhold information from him.
But if Qin Chen was indeed from the dark royal family, then everything made sense.
The dark royal family was the true leader of the Dark Clan, and beneath the entire Dark Continent, no one was not a subject of the royal family.
Without the dark royal family, the Dark Continent would have likely turned to dust after the final cataclysmic era, much like some other universes, and would not have become a transcendent force in the cosmic sea.
Thus, the dark royal family was the true deity of the Dark Clan.
If the person before him was indeed from the royal family, then it was perfectly normal for Fei E to conceal their identity without the other party's instructions.
“Sir?”
Elder Luo Wen and the others couldn't help but speak up.
“Shut up.”
Sikong Zhen snapped, startling Elder Luo Wen and the others.
“Stop this person?
Hmph, what do you take my Sikong Sacred Ground for?
What do you take me, Sikong Zhen, for?”
Sikong Zhen’s face was filled with anger. “I, Sikong Zhen, can become the master of the Sacred Ground mainly because of my integrity. The grudges between the qilin ancestor and the young friend, I have already stated that I will not interfere, and I will certainly not interfere.”
“Do you want me to break my promise?”
Beside him, Elder Luo Wen and the others were dumbfounded.
What is wrong with the Lord?
His demeanor is so different from before.
