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

Chapter 202 Why Was the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Beaten?
Wang Teng left quietly, without getting involved in what happened afterward, because he knew what had happened.

Within the Azure Dragon King's small world lies the remains of an Ancient Sacred Body. Moreover, after being transformed by the Great Completion Sacred Body, these remains are now even more powerful than in the original story, and the things they can pass on to Ye Fan are even more detailed.

Wang Teng knew all these things, so he came to find Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu had actually emerged from seclusion, but the Golden-Winged Roc King's visit was too arrogant. He immediately demanded the Demon Emperor's weapon. Yan Ruyu did not want any conflict with him, so she continued to pretend to be in seclusion.

The situation of the demon race is very complicated.

There are powerful figures like the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King who are dedicated to protecting the descendants of the demon race, as well as neutral figures like the Golden-Winged Roc King. There are even some powerful figures whose ideas are the same as the Golden-Winged Roc King's: they want to seize the Demon Emperor's weapon for themselves in order to enhance their own strength.

So Yan Ruyu continued to pretend to be in seclusion.

If a conflict were to arise between Yan Ruyu and the Golden-Winged Roc King upon his emergence from seclusion, regardless of the outcome, it could shake the Golden-Winged Roc King's choice as a neutral power, which might not be a good thing for Yan Ruyu.

There's nothing we can do; this is the current limitation of the demon race.

Wang Teng could understand Yan Ruyu's feelings. After all, when he first obtained the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon deity was still asleep. At that time, Wang Teng did not dare to declare to anyone that he had the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

He was worried that unknown powerful individuals and forces would emerge to compete for the Imperial Weapon.

It was only after he had traveled through the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land several times, becoming its sole inheritor, and after the divine power of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon was revived, that Wang Teng dared to gradually show the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon to those around him.

There's no way around it, the temptation of this thing is just too great.

Even now, some people are still unwilling to give up and are still obsessed with the Demon Emperor's weapon. Among them are outsiders and members of the demon race themselves.

Although Yan Ruyu is a descendant of the Demon Emperor, at this moment, she is also troubled by this identity.

"How does it feel to wield an Imperial Weapon?" Wang Teng asked with a light laugh.

This time, he still failed to enter Yan Ruyu's boudoir, but Yan Ruyu invited him to take a walk in a flower grove.

“It’s not good.” Yan Ruyu nodded seriously. “With my current strength, I can’t even activate one ten-thousandth of the power of the Supreme Emperor Weapon. Moreover, I have to worry about whether some powerful demon will suddenly descend into this small world and forcefully borrow the Supreme Emperor Weapon.”

Yan Ruyu emphasized the word "borrow," clearly indicating that she knew the consequences of lending out the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

Whether it can be returned is one thing. What the other party is doing with the ultimate imperial weapon is another matter entirely.

The Demon Emperor's Imperial Weapon has now been locked onto Yan Ruyu; at least in the eyes of the outside forces, the Demon Emperor's Imperial Weapon is in Yan Ruyu's hands.

If the Demon Emperor's weapon is lent out to do something, it is very likely that the Demon Emperor's descendants will be implicated.

Many things are hard to explain.
Therefore, Yan Ruyu has been in seclusion for some time, or at least that's what she publicly claims.

Only in this way can we minimize the disturbances she may experience.

"In that case, let's lend out the Imperial Weapon first," Wang Teng said casually.

"How can we lend this out? Imperial weapons are a hot potato right now. People who want them are scrambling to borrow them. But those who don't want them understand the implications behind the Demon Emperor's Imperial Weapon and avoid it like the plague. How could they possibly accept it easily?" Yan Ruyu sighed and said.

This is also her biggest dilemma right now. The only purpose of having the Demon Emperor's weapon in her possession is to prove that she is the legitimate successor of the Demon Emperor.

The problem is that the Demon Emperor has been dead for over ten thousand years. Even if she is the legitimate heir, what difference does it make? Can she possibly make the Demon Emperor crawl out of his grave?
For Yan Ruyu, what she held at this moment was not an ultimate imperial weapon, but a hot potato.

"Give it to the Peacock King. He's about to become the 14th greatest bandit in the Northern Region. Having an extra imperial weapon will help him protect himself," Wang Teng said.

"No!" Yan Ruyu shook her head.

“The Peacock King was the first senior to stand up for me and uphold justice. How could I hand over this hot potato to him?” Yan Ruyu said.

Handing over the ultimate imperial weapon to the Peacock King sounds simple—it's just a matter of giving him an imperial weapon—but there are many troubles behind it.

If the Peacock King possesses a Demon Emperor's Weapon, then the pressure that was originally focused on Yan Ruyu will shift to the Peacock King, and those powerful beings might approach the Peacock King to discuss borrowing the ultimate imperial weapon.

"Don't worry, I know the Peacock King too well. He's not going to suffer a loss. Giving it to him directly won't be a problem," Wang Teng said with a smile.

"I'll think about it." Yan Ruyu shook her head slightly, her beautiful face filled with calm.

Judging from Yan Ruyu's behavior alone, Wang Teng already knew that he wouldn't lend this thing out easily.

It wasn't that I was reluctant to part with him, but rather that I was worried something might happen to the Peacock King.

"This little girl is quite good. Although she is a demon, she has a sincere heart..." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon god began to mutter again in Wang Teng's sea of ​​suffering.

Wang Teng ignored the words of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon deity and continued walking with Yan Ruyu through the flower forest full of fallen blossoms.

“If you encounter any crisis that you can’t solve in the future, don’t worry, just come to me,” Wang Teng suddenly said.

There were no other promises, nor was there any guarantee that he would do it if you asked him.

But even such calm words drew Yan Ruyu's attention.

She nodded.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey until they reached the end of the flower-lined grove, where they finally said goodbye.

"You're leaving already? You're leaving already? Why don't you just rush up there! That little girl is a descendant of the Demon Emperor, you won't suffer any losses..." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon god was very dissatisfied with Wang Teng's "cowardice" and almost roared in Wang Teng's sea of ​​suffering.

"Senior, tell me the truth, was it because you were stirring things up when the Chaotic Ancient Emperor was attacked back then?" Wang Teng suddenly asked via telepathy.

"Don't talk nonsense. When the Chaotic Ancient was beaten, it hadn't even been refined yet. What does this have to do with me!" The Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon deity immediately retorted.

“But…” His voice paused for a moment.

"Hmm?" Wang Teng became interested. If nothing unexpected happened, the previous words were all nonsense, only the last few sentences were what he really wanted to express.

"As you know, I was refined by that guy Luan Gu, so in many ways, I am very similar to him, including in personality. I can indeed be considered an extension of that guy, so..." Luan Gu Imperial Weapon God transmitted his voice.

“Okay, I understand. I know why the Chaotic Ancient Emperor was always getting beaten back then…” Wang Teng immediately realized.
