Qin Chen directly released the royal blood aura from his body.
Earlier, with so many people around, it was inconvenient for him to reveal his identity as the dark emperor, which was ultimately a disguise. However, now that Sikong Zhen and the others had already submitted to him, it was time to reassure them, so they wouldn’t have excessive speculation.
"This is…" As Qin Chen's royal blood aura erupted, Sikong Zhen and the other two were momentarily stunned, their excitement reaching an unparalleled level.
Royal family.
They were truly of the dark royal family.
At this moment, the excitement of Sikong Zhen and the others was beyond words.
Although they had previously speculated about Qin Chen's identity and vaguely sensed something, it was all just speculation, and they had not directly felt it, leaving room for other possibilities.
But now, they completely set their minds at ease, their expressions filled with unbelievable excitement and shock.
They had bet correctly.
They really had bet correctly.
In this day and age, how could one become stronger?
Break through their own limits?
Cultivation?
Talent?
All these were important, but there was one most crucial factor: following the right people.
If one follows the right people, breaking through one’s own shackles can be done effortlessly, but if one doesn’t follow the right people, they might be trapped in their own limits for a lifetime.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
Sikong Zhen and the others knelt again, this time kneeling with genuine respect and joy.
Meanwhile, Sikong Anyun stayed behind, her expression changing, her heart shaken, intimidated by the aura emanating from Qin Chen.
She had imagined many possibilities, but never this one.
Royal family?
It was too high above her; it was something she could never reach.
Yet, for some reason, upon realizing that Qin Chen was indeed of royal blood, Sikong Anyun felt not joy or excitement, but a hint of disappointment.
She didn’t know why this was, only that there was a sense of loss in her heart.
"Everyone, rise!"
Qin Chen retracted his aura and said calmly.
Sikong Zhen and the others respectfully stood up. "May I ask, Your Excellency, why you have come to the Black Jade Continent?
Is there something we need to assist you with?"
Sikong Zhen took the initiative to inquire, properly aligning himself with his role.
Qin Chen smiled and said, "Well, I will tell you, my purpose for coming to the Black Jade Continent is deep within the Dark Ancestor Land."
Sikong Zhen and the others were taken aback. "Deep within the Dark Ancestor Land?
Your Excellency means… the core of the Eternal Abyss of Demons?"
Qin Chen nodded, "Correct, it seems you’re aware."
"I have been stationed on the Black Jade Continent, of course, I know a bit. The depths of the Dark Ancestor Land was once the core of the Demon Tribe in this world.
It is rumored to contain a top-tier treasure, and the reason the ancestors like Lord Indra guard the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land is to break the Yuanmo Ancestor's restrictions and obtain that treasure."
"Your Excellency's purpose is to obtain that top-tier treasure in the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land?"
Sikong Zhen and the others exchanged glances, their hearts suddenly alarmed.
What kind of treasure could attract someone from the dark royal family?
Qin Chen replied with a smile, "Talking to smart people is easier. Yes, that top-tier treasure of the Demon Tribe is indeed my purpose this time, and you should know its effects.
If we can obtain that treasure, it will be of immense benefit to our Dark Clan."
Sikong Zhen smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your Excellency, we are unaware of what that treasure is."
"You don’t know?"
Qin Chen frowned.
This was unexpected.
He didn’t anticipate that Sikong Zhen and the others, who were among the three powerful forces stationed on the Black Jade Continent, would not know about the treasure deep in the Dark Ancestor Land.
However, from their expressions, it didn’t seem like they were lying.
