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

Chapter 190 Black Emperor: That's it? That's it?

Duan De felt a surge of unease.

He quickly shook off Black King's paw and looked at Black King seriously.

"Tell me the truth, did you forge these things?" Duan De asked seriously.

"What do you mean by this?" Black King asked in surprise. "Aren't you a professional historian and archaeologist? Can't you take a look and tell me what era these things come from?"

Duan De's expression remained grim.

For the first time in his life, he began to doubt his own professional abilities.

“Many things are indeed from hundreds of thousands of years ago, but that’s precisely why something is so strange…” Wu Liang said.

He wasn't idle either; he was pretending to be very serious about searching for those things, but in the end, he found nothing.

Because this time, Black Emperor's performance was truly flawless.

If Wuliang hadn't known everything beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to find any suspicious points at all.

That is, Ye Fan doesn't understand anything, but he knows the truth, so he happily watches the show.

"Why won't you accept the facts? Is it because you don't want to accept that I am a powerful being from hundreds of thousands of years ago?" Black Emperor grinned and asked.

Duan De nodded decisively.

The Black Emperor, who had just been grinning, suddenly shut up, his expression turning grim.

"Let's leave quickly, this place is unlucky," Duan De said, leading the way away.

Although objectively many things were fine, he still didn't believe anything about this place.

Over the next few days, Duan De, refusing to believe in superstition, searched the old site of Yaochi for a long time, but still found nothing.

But the more this happened, the more Duan De believed that the so-called place of inheritance was fake, just like what had happened a couple of days ago.

What a coincidence! All the other books were taken away, leaving only the things related to that damned black dog.

Finally, after being persuaded by the Black King, the three people and the dog decided to leave together.

"Are you really not taking those things with you?" Black Emperor couldn't help but ask before leaving.

"You bastard! I knew you were the one who prepared those things!" Duan De cursed.

He's been thinking about it for the past few days, and the more he thinks about it, the more something seems off.

"You fat Taoist priest, watch your mouth! What do you mean by 'dog'? I didn't prepare those things. I just wanted to ask if you were interested in revealing that part of history to other people!" Black Emperor bared his teeth and threatened Duan De.

However, Duan De refused to take that passage, the authenticity of which was questionable, with him.

"As a great historian, I would never spread these things before I have the most authentic evidence; that's my professional ethics!" Duan De said earnestly.

Black Emperor grumbled and hesitated, clearly dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.

The more you say, the more suspicious the other party will become!
The process of leaving the old place of Yaochi was also full of hardships.

When they finally emerged from the old Yaochi site, braving numerous dangers, it was still night outside.

"I don't even know how long we've been inside..." Ye Fan said, frowning as he looked at the moonlight.

Before leaving, he told the villagers that he wouldn't be gone for long, but he ran into Duan De and Wu Liang in the old Yaochi area.

The two groups were distracted by mutual suspicion, and then they were further delayed in their search for the so-called history. So Ye Fan doesn't know how long they've been inside or whether they've exceeded the agreed time.

"Let's part ways here. Be careful, you two. The Ji family, the Jiang family, and the Yao Guang Holy Land have sent many people. Even their holy sons and successors have appeared in the Northern Region. I wonder if they've come to search for you." Ye Fan chuckled, bidding farewell to the two troublemakers under the moonlight, and giving them a reminder before leaving.

Originally, Duan De really intended to leave like this, because he hadn't had time to explore many places in the Northern Region. But after hearing Ye Fan's words, he hesitated.

“Don’t be so confident. They might not be looking for us. You caused so much trouble in the Southern Region back then, and you were just as infamous as we were. Those young people might be looking for you,” Duan De said. “We’ve known each other for so long, we’re old acquaintances, so I’ve decided to stay and protect you!”

"No! I beg you to leave now! Back in the Southern Region, if you hadn't tricked me, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state!" Ye Fan quickly waved his hand.

If you can't beat him, you can only hope to outrun him.

"Want to stay?" Black Emperor paced around Duan De.

"Black Emperor, calm down! Those two are notorious tomb raiders!" Ye Fan quickly reminded him.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't been reminded; the reminder only piqued Black King's interest even more.

"Back in the old Yaochi area, I heard that you once ventured deep into the tombs of ancient aristocratic families. Is that true or not?" the Black Emperor asked with a grin.

"We've both been chased all the way to the Northern Region by the Ji family, the Jiang family, and the Yao Guang Holy Land. What do you think?" Duan De asked rhetorically.

"Good heavens, what audacity! Daring to attack the descendants of both Emperor Hengyu and Emperor Xukong one after another! You are truly the first person in history to do so!" The Black Emperor gave a very high evaluation.

"Black Emperor, calm down. Those two are no pushovers!" Ye Fan reminded Black Emperor again.

"The way you're talking makes it sound like we're good people," Black King laughed heartily.

"You also ventured deep into the ancient forbidden lands and left your name by the sacred spring there?" the Black Emperor continued to ask.

Duan De was stunned. When did this happen? He had no recollection of it at all.

"I've never been there," Duan De shook his head.

“But he said you’ve been there.” Black Emperor pointed at Ye Fan.

"I've never been there!" Duan De immediately retorted.

He won't take the blame for someone else's mistakes.

“He really went there! There are his inscriptions by the holy springs of the nine sacred mountains in the Desolate Forbidden Land. He once bathed there!” Ye Fan immediately said.

Black Emperor carefully sniffed the scent on Duan De's body. "It's a little unclear, but it does seem to have the residual scent of something of a very high grade."

"I spend a lot of time walking through large tombs, so isn't it normal for me to come into contact with high-grade items?" Duan De immediately retorted.

"Really? What good stuff could be in that tomb?" Black Emperor scoffed, unconcerned. "You'd better just admit it honestly, the Ancient Forbidden Land is a great place. Many people will be looking to cooperate with you in the future."

Hearing Black Emperor's words, Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something. But since the other party was Duan De, Ye Fan didn't bother to remind him.

"What do you mean? You think that people in our line of work don't make any money?" Duan De retorted angrily.

He can be questioned, his abilities can be questioned, and his character can be questioned, but his professionalism in the industry can never be questioned!
This is his bottom line!

Duan De reached into his clothes and casually pulled out a spirit weapon. "See this? Burial goods from the Demon Emperor's tomb!"

Black Emperor's expression was calm, even carrying a hint of disdain. "That's it? If this is all you have, then your so-called gain is truly..."

"Hey! I've got a short temper, I'm not going to let you miss out on something truly amazing!" Duan De, also getting carried away, immediately pulled out a radiant pearl. "This is..."

Before he could finish speaking, the thing in his hand was gone.

Duan De was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a gleaming dog head running wildly under the moonlight.

"That damned black dog!"
