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

Chapter 160 You've Mistaken Your Master
At first, Wang Teng was just suspicious, feeling that this method was very familiar, like the methods of an old friend and the forces behind him.

That's why he suggested looking at those who had been turned, to see if he could find anything familiar.

Unexpectedly, what I found was a major discovery.

Those people did indeed possess a unique aura.

Ordinary people, even powerful beings or kings, would not be able to detect that faint aura.

But who is Wang Teng?

Young Master of the Wang Family!

Besides this identity, he is also the successor of the Forbidden Land of the Desolate Ancient Land, and even the Desolate Slaves have to call him Young Master!
His Dao Palace deity, Lu Hao, had cultivated in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land for so long, and even led a Desolate Slave to kill a mysterious person.

There was only a shared aura between the two, which was impossible for ordinary people to detect.

In other words, Wang Teng possessed the authentic inheritance of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and having already encountered those people, he was quite familiar with those clumsy imitations. Therefore, he was able to discover the problem immediately and confirm the identities of those who had been turned.

Wang Hai also possessed that aura, though it was much fainter.

Even if you put him together with those who have been turned, no one else would see any connection.

"Young Master, you must be joking. I, Wang Hai, have always been a member of the Wang family." Wang Hai paused for a moment, then came to his senses and said with a smile.

"Do you know what the biggest mistake you've ever made is?" Wang Teng asked without turning around, his voice calm.

To him, a cultivator from the Sendai Secret Realm was nothing more than a threat; he was not invincible, but rather someone who might reveal some of his trump cards.

To be honest, sometimes it's not that your hand can't be revealed, but rather that you can't be sure if your hand can outshine your opponent's, and whether you can play a decisive role in winning.

Just like in a poker game from the previous life, your hole cards are four points, which is already very strong, but you still have to be careful that your opponent may have four twos or a royal flush. So at this time, you can't easily reveal your hole cards to prevent your plan from being disrupted.

But Wang Teng...

I glanced at it, and the ring that symbolized the heir of the ancient forbidden land was still there.

I have four sharps, four twos, and a royal flush in my hands, what am I worried about?

“I have been guarding the royal city diligently and helping the royal family manage their garrison in the northern region. If the young master really thinks I am wrong, then my biggest mistake is that I did not detect in time that someone was trying to infiltrate the royal city, nor did I stop them in time, which led to this situation.”

Wang Hai raised his head and spoke.

As he spoke, his eyes flickered as he stared at Wang Teng's retreating figure, lost in thought.

"No, your biggest mistake was misjudging the master." Wang Teng turned around, a faint smile on his face, and looked at the expert at the first level of the Sendai realm in front of him.

“Young Master, what you said is not funny.” Wang Hai’s expression gradually turned cold.

Even within the Wang family, he was the head of a branch, and in terms of strength, he was a powerful figure capable of becoming a Supreme Elder. Even Wang Chengkun, the head of the Wang family, couldn't speak to him like that!
"Unrepentant." Wang Teng glanced at Wang Hai calmly.

He has already made it clear, but Wang Hai still refuses to admit it; he can only be described as incorrigible.

Wang Hai's expression changed slightly. He raised his hand, instinctively wanting to make a move.

However, the powerful patriarch of the Wang family had already arrived at some unknown time.

Without even asking Wang Hai, he took direct action and suppressed the number two figure in the capital.

In the side hall, Wang Teng called out two more people.

There were three people in total. The strongest was Wang Hai, the number two figure in the royal city, with a cultivation level of the first level of the Sendai realm.

The other two were powerful figures in the royal city, and their cultivation levels were not low either, both being at the late stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Such people held considerable status within the Wang family, but after being singled out by Wang Teng, they were easily suppressed by the powerful patriarch of the Wang family and left in a side hall.

The others who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

"Send it back to the Wang Family's Justice Hall for disposal," Wang Teng said calmly.

Just when they were worried that the Gongdaotang had no opportunity to intervene in the Wang family's upper echelons, the Holy Son of Yaoguang thoughtfully created such a good opportunity for them.

Because of this incident, when he encounters the Holy Son of Yaoguang in the future, he will be so grateful that he will try to become sworn brothers with him to thank him for his help.

"Yes." The powerful patriarch of the Wang family nodded.

From beginning to end, they never explained what it was about, but the others in the royal city were able to guess.

They were just talking about people who had been turned, and now Wang Teng has arrested three people.

They didn't doubt that Wang Teng was eliminating dissidents, because of the three people named, only one was a native of Wangcheng, while the other two were appointed by the Wang family to manage the area.

"Get ready, I'll personally go out of the city to meet those people," Wang Teng said calmly.

Always playing defensively is not his style.

Although he is sometimes very secretive and doesn't reveal many of his methods, that doesn't mean others can come to his doorstep and act arrogantly.

What was the purpose of his diligent spiritual practice?
Aside from surviving, isn't the ultimate goal to be able to do whatever you want?

Now that I've become stronger, all sorts of monsters and demons are running around at my doorstep. If I turn a blind eye to them, what's the point of their cultivation?
Is this so that it will be easier to curry favor with powerful figures in the future?

Wang Teng never thought that way. He only occasionally joked about clinging to powerful figures, but in reality, he was already the strongest among the younger generation in the world of "Covering the Sky". Who else did he need to cling to?

"Absolutely not!" The powerful patriarch of the Wang family immediately objected.

"To be able to bewitch and turn a Supreme Elder against his will, the other party is likely to be a powerful figure as well, and there may be more than one. It would be very dangerous to make a move rashly!" said the powerful ancestor of the Wang family.

He was Wang Teng's protector, and always put Wang Teng first in everything he did, so naturally he couldn't stand by and watch Wang Teng take danger.

"It's nothing, just some clowns who dare not show their faces in the sunlight. If I can't even handle them, I don't want to leave Beiyuan anymore." Wang Teng waved his hand and said indifferently.

Judging by the time, the Holy Son of Yaoguang should have been in Beiyuan for some time now, and this time, he really hoped that the Holy Son of Yaoguang would be here as well.

In this way, you can communicate with the other party openly and honestly!

"No! I must secretly protect you with my legendary weapon!" The powerful patriarch of the Wang family said, his attitude serious and brooking no refusal.

Wang Teng couldn't refuse this old man who was only trying to do what was best for him, so he could only nod.

No matter what happens, he can handle it.

Even if the old man can't solve it, he can still cover for him.

That day, all the Wang family's patrolling cultivators were withdrawn, and the royal city seemed to have returned to its usual tranquility. However, everyone could sense that beneath the calm surface, there were still turbulent undercurrents.

The next day, Wang Teng made a high-profile appearance, arriving outside the capital to inspect the Wang family mining area.

Halfway there, an unexpected incident occurred.

P.S.: The rest will be posted during the day; I need to adjust my sleep schedule.
