The three major forces have guarded the Black Jade Continent for countless years, constantly attempting to transform this land into a place where the Dark Clan can establish a foothold.
How much effort have they put in, and how many sacrifices have they made?
Yet who would have thought that their actions were so insignificant, even unimportant.
In reality, they had some understanding of their position within their forces, realizing that their status might not receive the utmost attention.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent here to atone for their sins.
However, they never expected to be kept in the dark for so long, completely unaware of the truth about the Black Jade Continent.
Could it be that in the eyes of the Dark Clan's higher-ups, they are so inconsequential?
At this moment, the bitterness in Sikong Zhen and the others' hearts was indescribable.
Qin Chen said indifferently, “None of this matters. I only want to know how I can enter the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land without being stopped by the throne and others.”
“My lord, with your identity, as long as you reveal it, the throne and the others will surely allow you in. How could they dare to obstruct you?”
Sikong Zhen and the others were astonished, not expecting Qin Chen’s request to be so simple.
“It’s not that simple.”
Qin Chen shook his head and sneered, “If it were that simple, would I have come to ask you? I need to enter the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land, but I cannot let the throne and others know my identity.”
“Why is that?”
Sikong Zhen and the others were puzzled.
“The reason is quite complex; I won’t elaborate too much. Don’t forget why you were left here. Back in the day, Lord Indra…”
At this point, Qin Chen abruptly stopped speaking.
“My lord, are you implying that there’s something wrong with the throne and the others?”
Sikong Zhen was taken aback, and his hair stood on end.
This…
It must be the case.
Otherwise, with your lord’s identity, why would you care about the throne? If you simply informed them of your identity, would they dare to stop you?
But now, you are instead taking a roundabout approach, which indicates that you must have a reason you cannot disclose to them.
Furthermore, considering that Lord Indra seemed to have been framed by others and fell in this land, it sent chills down Sikong Zhen and the others' spines.
Could it be…
In an instant, Sikong Zhen and the others felt a shiver, as if they had uncovered secrets they should not know.
“My lord, we understand.”
Sikong Zhen felt both horrified and excited.
Horrified that he had inadvertently meddled in the royal family’s secrets, fearing that a slight mistake could lead to annihilation.
Excited that, with his identity, he was actually involving himself in the royal family's grievances, filled with an indescribable sense of mission.
“My lord, if you wish to enter the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land without informing the throne and the others, there is indeed a way.”
Sikong Zhen frowned in thought and said, “Although we three major forces have been kept in the dark and do not know the truth, according to the agreements from back then, we are the visible controllers of the Black Jade Continent. Each of us possesses a part of the Dark Token. Once we gather the three tokens, we can freely enter the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land, even the throne and others cannot stop us.”
“Dark Token?” Qin Chen inquired, puzzled.
“Exactly.”
Sikong Zhen raised his hand, and with a rumble, a black triangular token appeared instantly in his palm, exuding a dense aura of darkness, which then flew forward and landed in Qin Chen's hand.
“My lord, this is the Dark Token. This subordinate possesses one, while the other two are in the hands of the Linyuan Supreme and the Shihen Supreme.”
Qin Chen took the Dark Token and sensed it carefully. A terrifying aura of darkness surged forth, stirring the power within Qin Chen.
This token is indeed extraordinary.
