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

Chapter 184 Duan De and the Black Emperor's First Encounter: Two Unscrupulous People
Because there seem to be signs that other living beings have been active here.

Although it's very faint, as a professional, Duan De has relied mainly on experience to walk underground for so many years. He can tell whether someone has been to a tomb recently just by looking at the dust on the ground.

At that moment, he squatted down and carefully observed the dust on the ground.

"Oh no, it seems we've really encountered something alive!" Duan De said worriedly. "And it's not just that black dog, there are also human footprints!"

Hearing this, Wu Liang was also "shocked"!
"What! In this day and age, there are actually other people who know about the old site of the Yaochi Holy Land?" Wu Liang asked in disbelief.

“I’m puzzled too. These are all rumors buried deep in the ground. If we two didn’t have a wealth of knowledge, we probably wouldn’t even know about this. So how did the others know…”

Duan De muttered to himself.

For the next period of time, Duan De was obviously much more cautious. After following the footprints for a distance, he roughly estimated which direction the man and dog had gone.

So he decisively took his good brother Wuliang in another direction.

He would never have any contact with the other party before he had thoroughly investigated their background.

"Could it be one of our competitors?" Wu Liang asked.

Duan De pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head. "Even if we're in the same industry, we need to be careful!"

So the two of them walked in the opposite direction.

However, things don't always go as planned.

As Duan De was seriously exploring the feng shui and estimating the location of the cemetery at the former site of the Yaochi Holy Land, he turned a corner and saw a figure standing in front of a cliff in the distance.

Beside that figure, there was a dark, human-like thing standing.

Just as Duan De turned around and saw the other party, the dark thing also turned its head.

They exchanged a glance across the distance, and then simultaneously unleashed a sharp, explosive sound.

"Ouch! There's a dog!" Duan De shouted, grabbing Wu Liang and running away.

"Woof! There's a ghost!" The black dog was terrified. It kicked Ye Fan in that direction and then turned to run away.

Ye Fan was studying the Western Emperor Scripture when he was startled by the sudden shouts.

When he came to his senses, he saw Black King kick him away.

Ye Fan's face immediately darkened. Although he didn't know what had happened, based on his understanding of the black dog and the fact that it was running in the opposite direction, this dog definitely wanted to leave him behind to take the blame!
So Ye Fan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately grabbed the Black Emperor's already bald tail, following behind it.

Duan De ran as fast as he could, his heart pounding in his chest. He thought to himself, "What if we get exposed?"
Could he still be being hunted down by the Yaochi Holy Land? He barely escaped from the pursuit of the three great holy families of the Southern Region to the Northern Region, and he hasn't been here long. If he is hunted down by the Yaochi Holy Land again, then there really won't be much place in the Eastern Wilderness that can accommodate him.

In contrast, Wuliang didn't care.

On the contrary, he was really looking forward to the first encounter between Duan De and the Black Emperor.

Under his own deliberate manipulation, the two of them had obviously met far too early.

But it's very interesting.

The grand vision that Wang Teng spoke of to Wang Erya at the Wang family home included part of it, which was also related to this man and his dog.

However, there were some things Wang Teng couldn't personally get involved in, but he still wanted to see some fun, which is why he created these several Dao Palace deity avatars. On the other side, the Black Emperor was also howling.

On one hand, it was frightened. It really didn't expect that the old site of Yaochi Holy Land had been abandoned for so many years. Apart from it, there should be no other creature in the world that knew anything about this place. But it actually saw a third living being here besides itself and Ye Fan!
This is practically like seeing a fairy descending from the Jade Pool in broad daylight; to put it simply, it's like encountering a ghost!
On the other hand, it's because my tail hurts!
Ye Fan was really ruthless; he held onto its tail tightly and wouldn't let go.

There was no hair in that area to begin with, and now that kid is gripping it so tightly, it's impossible not to feel pain.

Therefore, the Black King roared excitedly.

"You damn dog! You actually tried to sell me out when we were in danger!" Ye Fan was so angry that his teeth ached.

At the beginning, he had even considered some possibilities based on the Black Emperor's unethical and treacherous nature, such as him running away first when faced with a crisis.

But Ye Fan really didn't expect that this guy would kick him and run away when he was in danger!
This is even worse than a dog!

"I didn't! Let go!" Black Emperor howled.

However, how could Ye Fan let go so easily?
Black Emperor dragged Ye Fan along and ran like that for a long time before finally stopping, panting heavily with his tongue lolling out.

Ye Fan finally let go. He glanced at his hand, which was now red from being squeezed, rubbed his palms together, and couldn't help but sigh, "That shameless bastard's tail is really stubborn!"

Hei Huang, who was curling up and carefully licking its tail, jumped up upon hearing this and barked at Ye Fan.

It didn't utter a single human word, but Ye Fan subconsciously felt that the guy's insults were extremely vulgar, probably even censored on Earth...

"So, what did you just see? Why are you so excited?" Ye Fan changed the subject.

Because the black dog got more and more agitated as it barked, it definitely didn't say anything nice.

Hearing Ye Fan bring up serious matters, the Black Emperor took a deep breath and slowly said, "I saw something that was moving! I don't know if it was alive or a remnant of the Yaochi Holy Land..."

Upon hearing Black Emperor's words, Ye Fan subconsciously became much more serious.

"What's alive? What remnants of a sacred site?" he asked.

"Living means a living being, but that's basically impossible. I can say with certainty that after all this time, only I know how to get into the Yaochi Holy Land!" the Black Emperor said seriously.

"As for the remnants of the Holy Land... think about why the Yaochi Holy Land was relocated!" the Black Emperor continued.

This time, its voice trembled slightly.

It was obvious that it panicked too.

Ye Fan panicked too. He looked at the Black Emperor and said, "I've heard that black dog blood can ward off evil spirits, so why don't you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Black King started barking again.

On the other side, Duan De finally stopped as well.

He was also panting heavily, his obese body leaning against the railing, seemingly completely exhausted.

"Damn it! I've been deep in ancient tombs for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such an eerie creature! It looks like a big black dog, but it can stand up. I don't know if it's a real living thing or if something from the Yaochi ancient site has become sentient!"
But the person next to that black dog... seems kind of familiar..."
