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

Chapter 178 Overwhelming the Supreme Elder

Wang Teng's expression was very unpleasant.

The Wang family was truly like a large, rotten tree from within!

Especially among the younger generation, some have become so arrogant and domineering that it's outrageous!
Most importantly, when they were committing their crimes, they didn't forget to mention Wang Teng's name, saying that one of their relatives had the potential to become an emperor!

To be honest, with relatives like that, how could Wang Teng not have any hatred?

Moreover, some of the younger generation of the Wang family are far too arrogant and domineering. It is common for them to act tyrannically and bully men and women. Ordinary people are not even considered human in their eyes.

How is this behavior different from that of ancient tribes?
Millions of years have passed, and the Wang family has finally managed to wash away the ancient clan aura from their bloodline. They mustn't let their behavior be too much like that of the ancient clan, or they'll run into trouble again.

Ultimately, the Wang family is different from the Ji family, the Jiang family, and even the holy families of the Yao Guang Holy Land in the Eastern Wilderness.

The bloodline of an ancient clan may not be a problem under normal circumstances, but if someone with ulterior motives brings it up at a crucial moment, it can put you in a very passive position.

Wang Teng wasn't afraid of these things, but if people's hearts were stirred up, it would be very troublesome.

Therefore, Wang Teng established the Gongdao Hall.

It was only after the establishment of the Gongdaotang (Court of Justice) that the younger generation of the Wang family had a sword hanging over their heads, and they became more obedient and stopped doing evil as before.

It could be said that this newly established, non-official organization actually restrained the reckless behavior of the younger generation of the royal family.

And what punishments has the Wang family's younger generation received during the many years that the Enforcement Hall has been established?
The Enforcement Hall only targets the Wang family internally. In their eyes, only members of the Wang family are considered human. They only intervene when internal problems arise.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Wang Teng did not take this Enforcement Hall seriously, nor did he acknowledge this so-called Enforcement Hall. He even wanted to replace the Wang family's Enforcement Hall with the Hall of Justice.

But now, he has changed his mind.

The Enforcement Hall is incompetent because it is incompetent from top to bottom. The descendants of the few Supreme Elders and Elders in the Enforcement Hall are frequent visitors to the Enforcement Hall.

If the roots are like this, what kind of things can you expect to grow from them?
Wang Teng was very disappointed with the current state of the Enforcement Hall. He had originally planned to gradually replace the Enforcement Hall's power with the Justice Hall, and given his growth rate, he thought it wouldn't be long before he could openly and legitimately accomplish all of this.

But before he could even make a move, the elders of the Wang family couldn't sit still and actually wanted to interfere in the matter!
"Wang Teng, you've gone too far! This is impossible! The Enforcement Hall has been with the Wang family for so long; even if they haven't made any great contributions, they've certainly put in a lot of hard work! How could you possibly relinquish the Enforcement Hall's power to someone else just because of a casual remark?"

One of the elders of the Enforcement Hall spoke up, his face terribly dark.

Taking back the power of the Enforcement Hall is no different from killing him!
"So you knew you didn't do anything?" Wang Teng chuckled.

"Do you want to think back to what the Wang family was like before! Some of them were so young, yet they were already bullying men and women and forcibly taking women from the common people. What was your Enforcement Hall like back then?" Wang Teng's smile was icy, making several elders feel a chill in their hearts.

Even now, the powerful patriarch of the Wang family has not spoken, and no one knows what the patriarch is thinking. Therefore, the other elders are also unsure and do not know whose side to support.

Furthermore, the fact that Wang Chengkun, the head of the Wang family, sat there calmly, occasionally tapping his fingers on the armrest, as if it were none of his business, made them even more unsure of what to do.

Therefore, the other elders simply kept quiet.

"The Enforcement Hall is responsible for maintaining peace within the Wang family! The fact that there have been no major incidents within the Wang family during this period is enough to demonstrate the Enforcement Hall's contribution!"

The Supreme Elder of the Enforcement Hall spoke up, arguing his case forcefully.

"Well, thank you anyway?" Wang Teng said casually. "The Enforcement Hall is only responsible for the internal affairs of the Wang family, but the Justice Hall is responsible for both internal and external affairs of the Wang family, so the Justice Hall should be above the Enforcement Hall, is that alright?" Wang Teng asked.

"How did you calculate this..." The Supreme Elder of the Enforcement Hall was stunned for a moment, then immediately retorted.

"Don't worry about how I calculated it. My attitude is very clear: you people are old and have rotted along with the roots of the Wang family. Rather than staying and continuing to corrupt the younger generation of the Wang family, you should leave now before your reputation is ruined. That way, even if there is a reckoning in the future, you will not be implicated and will still be meritorious contributors to the Wang family."

Wang Teng spoke calmly.

Having said all that, he had completely made his intentions clear.

Since those elders spoke first, then don't blame Wang Teng for showing no mercy!

"You..." The Supreme Elder of the Enforcement Hall stood up angrily, pointing his finger at Wang Teng, his breathing becoming rapid.

"Alright, Teng'er makes sense. Let's do as he says." The powerful patriarch of the Wang family finally finished watching the show and spoke up, as if to make a final decision on the matter.

"Ancestor! This matter concerns the very foundation of the Wang family! We can't just make this decision!" The Supreme Elder of the Enforcement Hall said, forcing himself to speak.

Behind him stood another powerful ancestor, though that ancestor did not appear. This gave him the courage to question the other powerful ancestor.

"Then I'll make the decision." Wang Chengkun opened his eyes.

"The Court of Justice has been merged into the Court of Law Enforcement, which is now responsible for adjudicating matters both inside and outside the Wang family. The former Court of Law Enforcement is now only responsible for executing judgments."

Wang Chengkun made the decision and settled the matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became much more solemn.

Anyone could see that, even now, Wang Chengkun was still favoring his son.

But they had no choice.

Wang Chengkun is the head of the family, and he also has a powerful ancestor supporting him.

Even if the Supreme Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall is dissatisfied, he cannot change the situation at this moment. He can only awaken the powerful figures behind him and argue his case to change everything.

The other elders had complex expressions as they considered whether they themselves would also have their power diminished in the future.

However, some of the Supreme Elders did not care, and not all Supreme Elders were obsessed with power.

"Yu'er will continue to lead the Hall of Justice. If anyone has any objections, they can come to me later. If you can't win an argument... you can fight me. I'm always ready to fight!"

Wang Teng called out to Yu'er, continuing to entrust her with the important task of the Gongdao Hall. Then, his gaze fell on the Supreme Elders around him, and he spoke calmly.

“Wang Teng, you’re not the only outstanding member of the younger generation in the Wang family. Aren’t you afraid that the younger generation will turn against you for doing this?” a senior elder said in a low voice.

"Then call him here, and I'll beat him to death. Then there will be no possibility of turning against each other."
