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

Chapter 145 The Third Greatest Bandit in the Northern Region
Outside the holy city, there was also a great bandit.

The other person was dressed in a scholar's robe and looked very refined. At first glance, one might mistake him for a teacher from an academy who had wandered out.

As a result, when the Azure Dragon King spoke, everyone was shocked.

"Old Xu, you've finally arrived! If you had come any later, we might have been left behind in the Holy City!" The Azure Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Ji family actually hid a decrepit king in the stone archway of the Holy City. How shameless! Luckily, we were able to call for reinforcements, otherwise, we would have been detained!" The Peacock King breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite his arrogant demeanor and boastful words even when facing a dying king, he was actually somewhat apprehensive if he were to stay there and fight the dying king of the Ji family.

The difference in realms is stark; the gap between a Dao-Slaying King and a Great Power is more than just a small realm!

"You two are really something, how did you end up in the Holy City, and even run into the aging king of the Ji family?"

The middle-aged man, referred to as Lao Xu, couldn't help but ask.

"Wasn't it the Ji family who attacked our princess in the Southern Region? Then the two of us fought with the Ji family head and the Holy Lord Yao Guang. On our way back to the Northern Region, we met an old senior. His disciple, this red-haired youth Qi Hao, has a natural ability to see through illusions and even see what's inside stones. So the two of us thought we'd take a stroll around the Ji family's stone workshop and find a place to settle things. Who knew that a dying king was hiding there!"

The Peacock King began to explain.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth when the topic of the aging king came up.

This is the closest he has come to a crisis in eight hundred years.

Even against the so-called supreme powerhouse, the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, he could fight without flinching.

However, the weight of the word "King" is simply too heavy, pressing down on Da Neng's head.

"The Eye of Truth? Never heard of it. Is it really that amazing? Did you find anything at the Ji family's stone workshop?" The middle-aged man surnamed Xu was slightly taken aback and asked.

The Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King didn't hide anything. They were both notorious bandits, and besides, it was this very person who had just intervened and guided them outside the Holy City. So, they briefly recounted what had just happened.

Hearing the words of the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King, even Xu Tianxiong, who was known as the third largest bandit in the Northern Region, was stunned.

"Good heavens, I really don't know who among you is the most audacious. In front of the Ji family's aging king, you actually sold stones from the Ji family's stone workshop and even accepted more than 400,000 catties of source material!" Xu Tianxiong, the third largest bandit in the Northern Region, couldn't help but exclaim.

This is too crazy!

But it was really awesome!
The Holy Land families, who were once so high and mighty, have now suffered such a great loss. Who wouldn't be delighted to hear this?
"Hahahaha, yes, I bet the Ji family must be furious by now." The Peacock King laughed loudly.

After being away from the Southern Region for so long, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!

"But speaking of which, is there really such a special physique?" Xu Tianxiong looked at Qi Hao and couldn't help but ask.

He had never heard of such a naturally gifted eye!

"Believe it or not," Qi Hao said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tianxiong's expression changed slightly.

He was a powerful figure, yet he was rebuked by a mere kid.

"Ahem, Old Xu, Old Xu, don't get excited, that's just his personality." The Azure Dragon King quickly spoke up, then transmitted his voice to Xu Tianxiong, recounting the background that he and the Peacock King had fabricated for Qi Hao.

Xu Tianxiong calmed down a bit. "If he really has such ability, then he must be a guest of honor in the entire Northern Region. He certainly has the right to be arrogant." Then, he looked at another boy. "So, this is the so-called young master of the Northern Plains Royal Family?"

"Yes, Wang Teng, say hello to your brother Xu," Peacock King said with a smile.

Xu Tianxiong: ? ? ?

He could tolerate Qi Hao's arrogance, given his special background and identity!

Isn't the young master of the Northern Plains royal family a prisoner of your demon race? Why are you making him call me elder brother?
Xu Tianxiong almost turned and left in anger.

"Hello, Brother Xu." Wang Teng greeted Xu Tianxiong with a cheerful smile, not standing on ceremony.

This guy didn't have a big role in the original story, and his descendants were useless, so Wang Teng was able to take advantage of him with a clear conscience. In the future, Xu Tianxiong's grandson will have to hold his nose and call him grandpa.

"King Peacock, you'd better give me an explanation. Are you sure these are prisoners of your demon race?" Xu Tianxiong's face was icy cold.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry after being treated like this by two teenagers in just fifteen minutes.

Among the thirteen great bandits of the Northern Region, he ranked third, even higher than the Azure Dragon King, and was a very famous figure in the entire Northern Region!
"Hahaha, let me explain." The Peacock King wasn't angry at all, and cheerfully explained to Xu Tianxiong, though he didn't say everything he didn't know.

He concealed the fact that this guy was the successor of the Supreme Hall, only saying that he had good talent and was planning to randomly trick a few descendants of bandits.

Half a day later, Xu Tianxiong's expression became even stranger.

"Just because you two have compatible personalities, you've already become sworn brothers? Isn't that a generational gap?" Xu Tianxiong couldn't accept it.

But when he thought about how this was the Peacock King, he could understand!
"I've heard that the young master of the Northern Plains Wang family has had a series of fortuitous encounters and has mastered the inheritance of an emperor?" Xu Tianxiong suddenly said.

“The Peacock King seems to look down on you and wants to profit from your sworn brother,” Wang Teng suddenly said.

Xu Tianxiong's expression changed immediately.

"No, I was just asking. I have no intention of competing for this opportunity," Xu Tianxiong said.

Among the thirteen great bandits of the Northern Region, he and the Azure Dragon King were ranked one after the other, and their strengths were originally very close. With the addition of the Peacock King, Xu Tianxiong was really not confident that he could suppress the two of them.

Moreover, the thirteen major bandits of the Northern Region have complex relationships and rarely have internal conflicts. They help each other, which is why they have been able to dominate the Northern Region for so long.

If you're envious of someone else's opportunity to become sworn brothers, then that's just not right!

"Be serious, kid. Old Xu was just asking." Peacock King said with a smile.

“He does indeed have the inheritance of an emperor, but it’s not so easy to obtain. Old Xu, don’t think too much about it. Instead of spending your time pondering these things, why not consider forming a new bandit group and taking Qi Hao along to fight openly?” The Azure Dragon King also spoke up, reminding Xu Tianxiong.

Xu Tianxiong nodded upon hearing this. With two powerful figures speaking up, it was indeed inappropriate for him to attack Wang Teng.

In comparison, it is more tempting to take Qi Hao with you. After all, these two guys earned hundreds of thousands of catties of source just by taking Qi Hao to the Ji Family Stone Workshop. This is much more comfortable than working hard to rob a place!
"How can we make a move openly and fairly?" Xu Tianxiong asked.

He was tempted too.

"Hahaha, let's call a few more people and discuss this seriously!" The Peacock King couldn't help but laugh.
