Chapter 2248: Chapter 2248: He’s Going to Die

“Emperor, are you really not going to speak?”

The New Sovereign Emperor coldly looked at the disheveled man before him, asking just one question.

He didn’t actually want to use the Truth Pill given to him by the High Priest Demon Heart; all he wanted to know was the whereabouts of the Dark Token.

Or rather, he didn’t want to know where the Dark Token was or what it was used for; he just wanted to ensure that the Dark Token was safe and wouldn’t cause an outbreak upon the Former Sovereign Emperor’s death.

In the hearts of successive Sovereign Emperors, the Dark Token was always a warning symbol, representing the insurmountable.

“Emperor, your fate was sealed two years ago. Are you really going to let the people of the Jun Empire suffer calamity for your selfish desires?”

He remained patient, steadily gazing at the Former Sovereign Emperor, questioning him.

“Hm.”

The Former Sovereign Emperor scoffed, finding it rather amusing.

“What do the lives and deaths of those ants have to do with me? I am about to die, and with them accompanying me to the grave, wouldn’t I die more meaningfully?” He never believed that those commoners were of any great importance and didn’t care whether they lived or died.

Moreover, since he was about to die, he cared even less.

“But you, you must remember, the deaths of those commoners were caused by you. If it weren’t for you opening the doors wide to let the High Priest Demon Heart in and bringing them to deal with me, those people wouldn’t be facing death in the future! Haha!”

Saying this, he burst into laughter.

Seizing his throne, it’s not that easy, is it?

Since you have the courage to seize, then you must bear the consequences of seizing the throne.

“You—”

The New Sovereign Emperor was so angered by his words, that a pent-up fury stuck in his throat, almost suffocating himself.

It took him a while before he realized that this dog was deliberately provoking him, trying to enrage him into killing him, which would mean the information about the Dark Token would never be obtained.

He presumed that besides the Former Sovereign Emperor, no one else knew its whereabouts.

Even if someone knew before, they must have been killed by the Former Sovereign Emperor. He surely wouldn’t trust his subordinates with such a secret.

“You’re certainly tight-lipped. Since you won’t yield, I can’t be blamed.” He took a deep breath and summoned two guards.

The Former Sovereign Emperor now, already stripped of Demonic energy, was just a cripple. Even two random guards could easily subdue him.

Thus, hearing the New Sovereign Emperor’s orders, the two guards entered the iron prison with the medicinal pills, directly stuffing one into the Former Sovereign Emperor’s mouth and forcing it down with water.

The two then restrained the Former Sovereign Emperor’s arms, giving him no chance to dig it out.

It wasn’t long before the drug’s effects took hold. Naturally, whatever the New Sovereign Emperor wanted to know could be asked, and the whereabouts of the Dark Token were also revealed; it was actually on the Former Sovereign Emperor’s person!

Because the Dark Token was so important, the Former Sovereign Emperor had wrapped it in a layer and swallowed it whole.

Such an act truly surprised the New Sovereign Emperor.

What on earth was this Dark Token that he wasn’t afraid of being poisoned by it? Even if crafted from Gold and Silver, isn’t it still poisonous?

Now that the Dark Token was found, the Former Sovereign Emperor wasn’t needed alive anymore. And because the Dark Token needed to be extracted, his abdomen was directly cut open, which could be considered as the Former Sovereign Emperor bringing his own destruction, couldn’t it?

“Your Majesty, this Dark Token…”

The guard, holding the cleaned and blood-free Dark Token in both hands, presented it to the New Sovereign Emperor.
