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

Chapter 138 The Perfect Disguise

They only made a brief stop here.

"Shall we start from here, or go straight into the stone archway behind?" the aging king asked, struggling to lift his eyelids.

He was in really bad shape, lifeless, and shrouded in an aura of gloom, as if he had just crawled out of a coffin.

But the more this was the case, the less the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King dared to act rashly.

If such a person were more decisive and thought about who would care about the devastation after their death, that would be the most dangerous thing!
Even if they are both powerful beings, they may still die a bloody death!
Behind the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King, a large group of people had already gathered, most of whom were prominent figures in the Holy City, and almost half of them were old men.

They originally wanted to see the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King cause a ruckus at the Ji Family Stone Archway, but they didn't expect there to be an aging king inside. Suddenly, they wanted to see these two powerful demons have their fun, so they didn't leave and followed behind at a distance.

The same applies to jade gambling; as long as a prominent figure gets involved, others will also come to join in the fun.

That's naturally the case at this moment.

The Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King were both famous figures in the Northern Region. I thought their fates were exciting enough, but who knew that there was another big guy hiding in the Ji family's stone archway!
Upon hearing this, the Peacock King glanced at Qi Hao.

Qi Hao still had that cool expression, his face carrying an unruly air, and even the way his hair flew around gave off an air of arrogance.

The aging king of the Ji family also looked at the red-haired youth, his turbid eyes flashing with brilliant light, as if trying to see through Qi Hao's true form.

At that moment, both the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King felt a little nervous.

The only one who is very stable is Wang Teng.

The Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon helped him sever the cause and effect. Even an ancient saint might not be able to see anything, let alone a Dao-Slaying King.

In just a moment, the aging king of the Ji family withdrew his gaze.

"His background is extraordinary, but I still can't figure out his origins," the aging king of the Ji family said, his voice filled with sigh.

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, he is indeed a successor of the Supreme Hall. Even the Dao-Slaying King cannot see through Wang Teng's Dao Palace God!

Now they felt much more at ease.

"This is the successor of a senior figure. To invite him to come out of seclusion, the Azure Dragon King and I visited him many times before finally managing to persuade him to come. According to seniority, he should address us as 'elder brother'," the Peacock King said.
He was still using the same rhetoric from the demon race's small world. When he said it now, everyone around was shocked. Even the aging king of the Ji family glanced at the red-haired boy a few more times.

"I see. I was offended," said the aging king of the Ji family.

Given this seniority, the red-haired boy's background must be extraordinary.

"Let's stay on this floor for a while. I've seen some decent stones," Qi Hao said, still with his usual arrogant demeanor.

When the aging king of the Ji family looked at him, he nodded without changing his expression, showing no restraint in front of a powerful figure.

This scene, witnessed by others around them, made them feel that this red-haired youth was no ordinary person, as he could be so casual even when facing a Dao-Slaying King!

However, what they did not know was that Wang Teng's other Dao Palace deity faced ancient sages almost every day, often saw Great Accomplished Holy Bodies, and could even converse with Imperial Weapon deities and an ancient emperor.

With these experiences, there's naturally no need to be reserved when facing a king in his twilight years.

"So it's this young friend who wants to gamble on stones." The aging king of the Ji family was somewhat surprised. "I thought it was you who wanted to gamble on stones." "Senior, as you just said, guests are guests, and the Holy City must not resort to force." The Peacock King confirmed again.

The aging king of the Ji family didn't understand, but he still nodded.

The onlookers around were all quite confused.

He's just a teenager, what kind of amazing thing could he possibly cut out? Why do we need to confirm it several times?

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Qi Hao said, his red hair flying, and confidently strode forward, searching for suitable stones on the fifth floor.

This process was boring because none of the sarcastic remarks and the expected moments of showing off and being humiliated actually happened.

The appearance of the aging king of the Ji family immediately silenced the onlookers and members of the Ji family, who dared not say anything more.

The Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King remained silent. Since no one else dared to provoke them, it would be somewhat disrespectful to a Dao-Slaying King if they were to speak first.

Therefore, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy, and even the onlookers slowed their breathing.

Throughout the entire fifth level of the stone archway, only the sound of Qi Hao's footsteps could be heard.

There are many stones here, and they all look to be of very good quality.

Of course, their most notable characteristic is that they are very expensive.

Some stones are even more expensive than the same weight of source material.

Here, gambling on stones is no longer about whether a source will appear, but whether something even more precious will emerge.

Otherwise, even if you cut through a thin layer of stone and find pure source inside, in many cases you will still lose everything.

Qi Hao didn't walk very fast here. When he encountered some stones, he would even stop and tap them.

Just as the onlookers thought this was some special method for identifying stones, they saw a crimson light suddenly shine from the red-haired boy's eyes, directly reflecting into the stone!
“This…” someone was stunned.

He even meticulously memorized the boy's technique for striking the stone and recorded the boy's reaction to each sound, waiting to try it himself later.

So how did I end up using my eye technique while I was tapping?
Moreover, this eye technique looks quite extraordinary!
The crimson light in its eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, shining directly into the stone and illuminating the entire stone in a crimson glow!
The two elders of the Ji family were stunned. What kind of method was this?
The aging king's gaze sharpened as he looked intently at the young man, but found nothing.

We simply cannot find any information about this boy!
This can only mean that the boy's background is beyond his strength, and that he has been protected by certain methods to prevent outsiders from investigating him!
The Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King were also somewhat nervous, worried that the Twilight King might see through them and turn his suspicions to the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

But in the end, the aging king did not speak.

Qi Hao remained calm, ignoring the astonishment and stares of those around him, and focused intently on the stone in front of him.

Within the stone, a brilliant green light emerges, indicating it is a standard heterogeneous source and very pure.

Therefore, Qi Hao directly chose this stone.

The master craftsman of Ji Family Stone Archway cut the stone on the spot, and the green light shone on the fifth level of the stone archway.
