This elder was named Wu Hanhai, a descendant of the distant hope sacrificial lineage.
In the times before the distant hope was destroyed, the status of the sacrificial lineage was not beneath that of the king.
Thus, the sacrificial lineage managed the location of the Golden Crow Mausoleum, while the king's bloodline was the key to opening the mausoleum.
Normally, both were indispensable. However, it had been thousands of years since the fall of distant hope, and many changes had occurred, which was to be expected.
"Thank you, Lord Hanhai!" Qin Shunying nodded slightly.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, as a metallic tremor sounded, she unbuckled her gauntlet. Her fair, slender fingers exposed to the air, Qin Shunying bit into a finger and pressed it against the illusion of the Golden Crow in front of her.
Blood flowed profusely from the tip of her finger.
First, it dyed the nearest few runes red, and then rippled outward.
