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

Chapter 159 Familiar Breath

Wang Teng spoke, looking at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was named Wang Hai, and he was a newcomer to the Sendai Secret Realm.

Such a person can already be considered a strong person; they could serve as a supreme elder in any holy land or aristocratic family.

In the royal city, his status was not low. Although he was not from the royal family, he was appointed as the second-in-command of the royal city.

Yes, the city lord of Wangcheng was sent by the Wang family, and his cultivation level was also at the first level of the Sendai realm, which was higher than Wang Hai's.

"Yes." Wang Hai nodded.

When the young master of the Wang family speaks, even someone of his rank as a supreme elder has to cooperate.

Why did that powerful ancestor dote on and value Wang Teng so much?

“Remember to call those patrolmen back. The Wang family has no need to show weakness. Let them intrude as they please. Those who can be turned will be dealt with later,” Wang Teng said calmly.

When a family grows for too long, it inevitably becomes too large and complex.

Often, some branches have strayed too far from the main trunk, growing crookedly and twisted, yet when something goes wrong, others still blame the main trunk.

Rather than doing that, it's better to take matters into your own hands and ensure that the tree grows healthier and stronger.

"Direct liquidation?" Even the powerful patriarch of the Wang family was taken aback.

His initial thought was to see how things went, and if they could be brought back, he would let the other party go.

But compared to that, Wang Teng was far too decisive!
“Their hearts are no longer with the Wang family, so what’s the point of keeping them around? Besides, they might not be willing to completely give up their Wang family identity, so it’s better to let them return to their roots,” Wang Teng said.

He suddenly thought of a meme, which might not be useful in the world of "Covering the Sky," but it was still something to be wary of.

The gist of the story is that a member of a family is being relentlessly targeted, yet powerless to retaliate. What can they do? Assassinate the emperor, and their entire family will be exterminated!

Although there is no emperor in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there are forbidden zones for life, as well as other powerful beings.

No one knows if someone might give up and turn against the Wang family.

Therefore, simply liquidating everything can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the expressions of the powerful figures present all became solemn.

They didn't expect that this young master of the Wang family was really as rumored, acting directly and decisively without any hesitation, showing no mercy even to his own cousins ​​who made mistakes.

“Go ahead and do it. Only in this way can we deter those people,” Wang Teng said calmly.

Then, they followed Wang Hai to see the Wang family cultivators who had been turned against them.

Those people were not killed; they were kept in the Wang family.

Because their case was of great importance and involved the people who made the move, the Wang family wanted to pry some information out of them.

That's why they were allowed to stay.

"Is the young master really determined to settle scores with those people?" Wang Hai couldn't help but ask.

“They have already betrayed the Wang family and joined an unknown force, which is still the Wang family’s opponent. Under such circumstances, how can there be forgiveness? If they win, what will become of the Wang family?” Wang Teng said calmly.

"To eradicate evil completely, to nip it in the bud, that's the simplest principle. I never believe that bad people will suddenly become good. Their realization of their mistakes and my willingness to change are all because they know they are going to die. They didn't suddenly repent; they were simply afraid," Wang Teng continued, expressing his thoughts.

This is what he has always thought.

“Indeed… that’s how it should be,” Wang Hai said.

The place where those traitorous clansmen were imprisoned was in the city lord's mansion in the royal city, so the powerful patriarch of the Wang family did not come, but was dealing with the matters arranged by Wang Teng.

In a dungeon, Wang Teng saw the people who had been turned. There were dozens of them, almost all young people, all under thirty, at the age when they were arrogant and unruly.

“Quite a few.” Wang Teng raised an eyebrow.

Dozens of people have already been exposed, so what about those who haven't been exposed yet?

When you see a single withered branch and rotten leaves, it proves that there are many more branches that have already decayed.

Within the royal city, those who have not been found number at least five times, or even more, the number of people in front of us.

"Bring that person out," Wang Teng said casually, pointing.

It was a boy who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, the same age as Wang Teng. All his bones had been broken, and he couldn't even stand up. He could only lie limply on the ground.

Even so, his eyes still held an arrogant and unruly air, as if he looked down on everything about the Wang family.

"At this age, being merely in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, what is there to be arrogant about?" Wang Teng said calmly.

He couldn't understand this idea.

The Wang family is the largest family in the Northern Plains. Even though the royal city is in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, many of the Wang family's geniuses have passed through here for training. So how could this person in front of you, with his age and cultivation, be associated with arrogance?

In a small sect, this strength might be considered good, but in the Wang family, isn't it just the bottom of the list?

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the young man turned his head with difficulty, opened his mouth to speak, but Wang Teng struck him with a finger, shattering the bones in his throat and rendering him unable to speak.

“I have many questions, but you don’t need to ask,” Wang Teng said calmly.

Seeing Wang Teng's decisiveness, Wang Hai couldn't help but frown.

"Let me see if you have any familiar scent on you," Wang Teng said calmly.

He stretched out a hand and placed it on the young man's forehead, using his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in conjunction with his powerful divine sense to observe the young man.

After a long while, Wang Teng finally sighed.

"As expected, it's related to him. He's still got his hands on me. Even though he can't beat me, he's still eyeing my good fortune. Having half a sacred weapon taken from you, isn't that enough to intimidate you?"

Wang Teng spoke calmly.

He sensed a familiar presence in that young man.

It had an aura almost identical to that of the Supreme Elder that Lu Hao, the deity of his Dao Palace, had killed on Star Peak!

“Yaoguang…” Wang Teng’s gaze was calm.

He lifted his foot and gently placed it down.

From the spot where he landed, intricate and elaborate golden patterns appeared, almost instantly filling the entire dungeon.

The bodies of those imprisoned cultivators also exploded instantly!

Wang Teng had already confirmed the identity of the person who made the move, so there was naturally no need to keep these people alive.

It looks disgusting.

Wang Hai's brows twitched when he saw this scene. He hadn't expected Wang Teng to be so decisive, killing so many people with a single stomp.

"Young Master, these people have all been turned, and we haven't found out anything yet," Wang Hai quickly said.

“You have a strong mentality, but you should know that since I made my move, I already know everything.” Wang Teng did not turn around, but remained with his back to Wang Hai, his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

"Tell me, what are their conditions for you? A sacred technique? Or a method that can devour physiques? Or perhaps the inheritance of me, the young master of the Wang family?"
