Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 111 The Ruthless Emperor's Acknowledgment

The young man mentioned by the Ji family patriarch was naturally Ye Fan.

This person had practiced the Ji family's Great Void Technique, and should have been killed. However, considering that he had learned the Great Void Technique to protect Ji Ziyue, and that two Saint-level figures had spoken up, the Ji family head did not intend to make things difficult for Ye Fan.

"He's escaped. He's suspected to be connected to that wicked Taoist priest. Both of his threats came true, and now the wicked Taoist priest is being hunted down by the Yao Guang Holy Land," said the Yao Guang Holy Lord.

Even the Holy Lord of Yao Guang is helpless when it comes to unethical Taoist priests.

This guy is really outrageous.

They have repeatedly come to the Yaoguang Holy Land Cemetery to commit evil deeds, searching for so-called historical traces and pursuing so-called historical truths.

In reality, it was tomb raiding. They took away a lot of burial goods and even went so far as to desecrate the corpse of a powerful figure, displaying it in an obscene manner. For the Yao Guang Holy Land, this was a great disgrace.

The descendant of that powerful being was so angry he almost died.

He happened to go to pay respects to his ancestors and then witnessed a scene that made him so angry that he bled from all seven orifices. In particular, his outburst at the time was seen by those two guys!

How could a powerful being not be furious when he made such a display and it was seen by outsiders, coupled with the fact that his ancestor's body was disturbed?
The entire Yao Guang Holy Land has been hunting down the immoral Taoist for a long time, but no one expected that he would actually dare to run back!
And it was after that boy said those words!

Even the Holy Lord of Yao Guang had some doubts about whether the immoral Taoist priest was really related to that boy.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been two coincidences.

"Suspected to be related to the unethical Taoist priest?" Upon hearing this, the head of the Ji family fell silent.

If it's related to an unethical Taoist priest, then we need to interrogate him thoroughly.

After all, the unscrupulous Taoist priest had recently visited the Ji family's cemetery, ventured deep into the tomb of a powerful figure, left behind so-called archaeological traces, and lost some items.

The value of the lost items is not a big deal. After all, the relics of a powerful person, if they were powerful weapons or armor, would have already been passed down to their descendants or are waiting for the next owner in the treasure vault. What can be buried with them are likely to be items with more symbolic than practical significance, of low quality but with special meaning to the original owner.

However, the fact that someone pulled down another person's underwear left the Ji family speechless.

The entire Ji family was furious. If they caught the boy and didn't interrogate him about the unscrupulous Taoist priest, they would probably find it difficult to convince the public.

"Send people to search," the head of the Ji family said.

"Send people to look for him. Even if we don't look for him, we should at least lure out that wicked Taoist priest," said the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

Compared to that boy, their real target was the immoral Taoist priest.

Hua Yunfei's gaze remained calm; he hadn't expected Ye Fan to be connected to the unscrupulous Taoist priest.

All he knew was that Ye Fan's physique was very special.

Originally, he intended to attack Ye Fan, but Lu Hao arrived.

In comparison, Lu Hao's physique is definitely more special. When he was in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, he was able to be on par with the divine body.

So he made a move against Lu Hao, and as a result, Lu Hao took him in.

Lu Hao has not yet returned to Tai Xuan Sect, and Hua Yunfei does not know how long Lu Hao will stay with his true sect.

Lu Hao is still in the desolate forbidden land. It's not that he doesn't want to leave, but that he has been "forced" to stay.

The Empress bestowed upon him a ring, not an imperial weapon, yet in some aspects surpassing them. This alone demonstrates that the Empress truly regarded him as her grand-disciple. Moreover, the Empress also bestowed upon him a legacy, although currently it is not a complete legacy, only a portion related to the "Slaying Myself to Understand the Dao Technique."

However, given the Empress's accumulated experience and attainments over several lifetimes, the inheritance of the "Slay Myself and Enlighten My Way Technique" is also ridiculously abundant, with various killing moves and forbidden techniques, which are even comparable to half of the Emperor's Scripture!
Wang Teng's Dao Palace deity—that is, Lu Hao—has been cultivating near the Holy Mountain, absorbing the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Every night, a Wild Slave would appear, possessing combat power a minor realm higher, to duel with Lu Hao.

Lu Hao only used the inheritance of the "Slay Myself Mingdao Technique" to fight back. At the beginning, he was suppressed and beaten, but gradually the two sides were evenly matched, and then he subtly gained the upper hand.

Even the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon praised Wang Teng, saying that in terms of potential and talent, he far surpassed the Chaotic Ancient Emperor himself. In fact, if he were in the era of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, he could have made the Chaotic Ancient Emperor suffer even more beatings and shatter his Dao heart even more completely.

The Ruthless Great Emperor also investigated Lu Hao's cultivation progress. Although he no longer possessed the Dao Fruit and only retained his instincts, he was still able to remain calm most of the time.

During this process, the Ruthless Emperor also realized what Wang Teng had done.

A series of images appeared before Lu Hao:
A giant city, a little girl begging...

Wang Teng bought some candied hawthorns and patted the little girl on the head, telling her to call him "brother"...

These scenes had been over for a long time, yet they were still replayed in the eyes of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Lu Hao lowered his head, his heart pounding.

The Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon silently drifted out of Lu Hao's Sea of ​​Bitterness and moved to the side, seemingly afraid that it would bleed profusely on itself in a moment.

Even the slaves retreated a little in the moonlight.

"Good luck to you, kid." These were the last words the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon said to Lu Hao.

“I’ve always been very kind-hearted since I was little, and I never let the Wang family bully outsiders,” Lu Hao asked.

The Ruthless Emperor remained silent, his calm gaze passing through the bronze mask that seemed to be both crying and laughing as he calmly watched the scene unfold.

Time seemed to fall into an eternal silence at that moment, and Lu Hao dared not speak.

As for the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon, this guy clearly stated his position from the beginning, resolutely standing on the same side as the Ruthless Great Emperor!

After a long time, the scene in front of the Ruthless Great Emperor disappeared.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon continued to admire the moon with its axe blade raised, never once glancing at Lu Hao, for fear of being implicated. He didn't want to experience the feeling of almost being crushed by bare hands again.

However, the Ruthless Emperor ultimately did not make a move.

A soft sigh rang out, the moonlight dissipated, and the Ruthless Great Emperor returned to the abyss.

Lu Hao let out a long breath, mustered his courage, and looked up to find a string of things in front of him.

It was a smooth tree branch with nine fruits of different shapes strung on it, clearly originating from the nine sacred mountains.

The fruit was strung together, looking very much like the candied hawthorn skewers in Lu Hao's memory.

Lu Hao raised his hand, grasped the handle of the "candied hawthorn," and his expression was somewhat strange.

Is this a candied hawthorn that the Ruthless Great Emperor gave himself?
"Wearing the ring allows you to summon wild slaves to fight for you anytime, anywhere." A cold voice suddenly echoed in Lu Hao's mind.

Lu Hao's hand holding the candied hawthorn trembled. Had he truly become the successor of the Forbidden Land of the Desolate Ancient Land?
