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

Chapter 175 The Gaze Beneath the Mine

Wang Erya stood obediently next to Wang Teng, also peeking curiously into the deep mine pit.

"Brother, someone is watching me from below," Wang Erya whispered, seemingly a little scared, her voice trembling slightly, and she subconsciously took two steps behind Wang Teng.

"Don't be afraid! Just glare at him!" Wang Teng pinched Wang Erya's dragon horns and said casually.

He also "saw" that beneath the mine, many cold eyes were staring at him mercilessly through the darkness.

When Wang Erya heard Wang Teng's words, she felt her brother pinch her horns, and she suddenly regained her courage!
Mustering her courage, she moved her short legs and shuffled to within a short distance of Wang Teng. She tightly grasped his hand, lowered her head, and stared intently into the mine pit.

With just one glance, she was so frightened that she took two steps back, clung tightly to Wang Teng's leg, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Wang Teng couldn't help but chuckle.

The little girl is quite timid.

What a waste of the ancient imperial bloodline within him.

In the mine, the number of those cold and ruthless eyes had decreased significantly, with only a few pairs remaining, still gleaming with a cold light as they stared at the world outside the mine.

“Is the world outside beautiful?”

Wang Teng looked calmly at the presence in the mine.

Perhaps a great era is truly approaching, as some of the sealed beings have awakened ahead of schedule.

However, they remain sealed and have not left the seal.

Wang Teng didn't just speak; he also transmitted his voice to the eyes below the mine pit.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's almost provocative words, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in the eyes of those below.

Wang Teng chuckled, ignoring them, and simply pinched Wang Erya's horn again.

The powerful patriarch of the Wang family was reviewing data from the mining area over the years when he heard that Wang Teng had gone missing. He immediately guessed what was going on, dropped what he was holding, and rushed over in a hurry.

From a great distance, the powerful ancestor of the Wang family saw two figures, one large and one small.

Just as he had guessed, Wang Teng was indeed here!
Moreover, he brought the ancient girl from the divine source to the edge of the mine, where they were peering down into the pit!
Even from a great distance, the powerful ancestor of the Wang family sensed an intense killing intent, as if a peerless ferocious beast was lurking in the mine, its eyes filled with murderous intent.

This time, the intense killing intent could be felt not only within a radius of a thousand feet, but even further afield!
The powerful patriarchs of the Wang family all felt a sense of unease, as if that eye had reappeared, and immense pressure was pouring down, making them feel that they were facing a real crisis!
Not to mention others, even the mine manager, hundreds of miles away, felt trembling with fear, as if some unparalleled being had appeared in the darkness, and he could feel the breath of death even from a great distance.

“Remember, I…” Wang Teng subconsciously wanted to say that he was Duan De, but then he thought that this was in his Wang family’s mining area, and he hadn’t even changed his appearance.

So, even if I told you, no one would believe me.

"Fine, if you're not satisfied, come find me later. Remember, my name is Wang Teng, the descendant of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor." Wang Teng introduced himself with a smile, heading into the depths of the mine.

Then he turned around, preparing to leave with Wang Erya.

In the mine, those eyes grew even colder.

Wang Teng remained completely calm.

After returning home, the powerful patriarch of the Wang family inevitably launched into a long tirade.

His intentions were good; his rambling was primarily to ensure Wang Teng's safety, so Wang Teng responded with a smile. The main point was to proactively admit his mistake and promise to do it again next time.

Over the next few days, Wang Teng visited many people in the Wang family's mining area. Some of them were members of the Wang family who had settled and passed down their traditions there for thousands of years, while others were Master Yuan and miners who had always lived in the Northern Region.

From them, Wang Teng learned many rumors about this land.

These people may not have high cultivation levels, and some may not have even seen scenery thousands of miles away, but they have heard many rumors passed down by word of mouth.

From these scattered rumors, Wang Teng first eliminated those that sounded unreliable, such as the arrival of gods or the creation of the world by gods. Then, he pieced together a number of rumors and finally came up with some guesses.

"This place was once the territory of a royal family?" Wang Teng stood on the red soil beneath his feet, looking into the distance.

Based on the words of the masters, miners, and the Wang family members who had passed down the story from generation to generation, Wang Teng pieced together a fragmented history.

But all the information points to one thing: a powerful race once lived here and ruled this land for a long time.

Some masters even have a few anecdotes passed down through generations, saying that they had a rumor that wasn't exactly an ancestral instruction, but the gist of it was that their ancestors had been instructed to guard a certain place.

Based on the stories passed down from several masters and miners' ancestors, Wang Teng roughly calculated that the combined area of ​​several regions could encompass this mining area and even extend far beyond it.

After learning about these rumors, Wang Teng began to prepare some things.

Otherwise, if the ancient tribes were to revive in the future, the Wang family mining area would inevitably be the first to be affected.

By making some arrangements in advance, the Wang family will suffer far less loss in the future.

If we don't know about certain places, then we can leave it at that. But if we know that royalty is sleeping beneath this land, then we definitely need to prepare some things.

Including other places, as long as there are human settlements, if Wang Teng knows that there are ancient clans below, he will also take action.

Fortunately, the royal family of the ancient tribes all lived in the forbidden zone, where the most dangerous people were all gathered together, so no major accidents would occur.

After spending some time in the Wang family mining area, Wang Teng returned to the Northern Plains through the domain gate.

Before Wang Teng even stepped into the domain gate, news of his intention to return home had already reached the Wang family.

Wang Teng hadn't even arrived home yet, but things were already bustling around the Wang family's place.

The Wang family members reacted differently upon hearing the news.

The current head of the Gongdao Hall and the twelve Gongdao members personally selected by Wang Teng were so excited upon hearing the news of Wang Teng's return that they were almost moved to tears.

They hadn't seen Wang Teng in so long that they had almost forgotten about the founder of Gongdaotang.

However, over the years, they have been diligently following Wang Teng's initial instructions.

Therefore, over the years, the Gongdaotang has held a very high level of prestige in the Wang family, especially among the younger generation, who subconsciously feel fear upon hearing its name.

The older generation's attitude towards the Gongdaotang (a charitable organization) remains somewhat ambiguous to this day.

Some people support the Justice Hall, while others have consistently and strongly opposed it.

Therefore, the Wang family did not seem as welcoming of Wang Teng's return this time.
