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

Chapter 211 The Gaze in Purple Mountain
As soon as they entered Zishan, they sensed that something was wrong.

There were creatures watching them in the shadows, and they even chased them for a distance, as if they were scouts hidden in the darkness, secretly observing them.

Ye Fan glanced at Black King subconsciously to confirm that the despicable black dog was still beside them.

"What's wrong with your eyes, kid?" Black King felt offended. This guy's eyes were really strange, as if he was suspicious of him!

"Nothing, nothing, just checking if you, as the black dog that wards off evil, have discovered anything." Duan De, not wanting to miss such a good opportunity, spoke up directly and rebuked the Black Emperor once again.

"My temper is so bad..." Black Emperor's eyes lit up, and he was about to launch an attack on Duan De.

"Have you forgotten that you followed me in Purple Mountain back then, and even followed me all the way out? I just wanted to see if you deliberately fell behind to create an atmosphere and then continued to chase us." Ye Fan secretly transmitted his voice to Black Emperor, reminding him of what happened back then.

Black Emperor remained silent upon hearing this.

He did act rather dishonestly back then, constantly stalking Ye Fan and almost scaring him to death.

But this time, it wasn't Black King who fell behind and followed.

"Did you arrange this?" Ye Fan asked.

"No, how could that be! How could I possibly do such a thing!" Black Emperor immediately shook his head in denial.

Although he also wanted to trick Duan De, he hadn't had time to make arrangements yet, and the Black Emperor didn't know exactly what the gaze secretly following them was.

However, he had a rough idea in his mind that it was likely an ancient creature from the Purple Mountain.

They had only just entered Purple Mountain and were still some distance from the slumbering place of the ancient beings. How could the other party possibly have noticed them now and be able to follow them?
The only possibility...

Black Emperor looked at the little girl who was following closely behind Wang Teng.

Despite being of ancient imperial blood, the other party was exceptionally timid. Even in the darkness, he was hesitant and timid, clinging tightly to Wang Teng's back and holding onto Wang Teng's arm, as if only in this way could he feel a little more at ease.

Although her small dragon horns were hidden among her hair, they were still hard to miss, because dragon horns are just too eye-catching.

"Brother, it seems like someone is following us..." Wang Erya whispered, her voice soft and sweet, and she seemed a little scared as she shrank back.

"I saw it. It's alright, don't worry. It's just a weak little guy," Wang Teng said with a light laugh, rubbing the little guy's head with his other hand.

"You saw it too?" Duan De asked. "I sensed it a long time ago. Someone was chasing us in the dark, but the feeling was strange. Based on my many years of experience traversing the Great Tomb, what was following us was definitely not an inanimate object, but a living thing!"

Duan De was exceptionally authoritative in this regard; he could analyze whether someone was alive or dead simply by looking at them.

Having traversed the vast tombs for so many years, he had often felt a cold, sinister gaze upon him.

Every time Duan De had that feeling, he would withdraw in time.

Because any evil intent that can appear in the tombs of powerful beings, or even the tombs of ancient sages, is far more powerful than imagined, both in terms of origin and strength!
On a very rare occasion, Duan De failed to escape and was forced to confront those evil thoughts. On those very rare occasions, Duan De almost died in the tomb.

Therefore, Duan De was particularly familiar with those eyes.

The gazes following them, though hidden in the darkness, did not exude that chilling aura, nor did they emanate any mysterious malice. Duan De was absolutely certain of this.

“It is indeed alive,” Black Emperor said.

As they continued on their planned route, they discussed the situation of the gaze behind them using telepathy.

"What? You also sensed that your black dog power was useless against him?" Duan De asked subconsciously.

"I have a terrible temper! Ye Fan, don't stop me, I'm going to kill him today!!" Black Emperor said angrily, cursing and swearing.

He has lived so long and has never suffered such injustice!
In his time, although most people did not know his identity, he was powerful enough, and a few people knew his special identity. So, whenever he went out, he was welcomed by a certain holy family. How could it be like now, where he is ridiculed by a fat tomb raider time and time again!

Even if someone has a good temper, they will still get angry, let alone someone with a bad temper!
but,

"I didn't stop you! If you want to kill him, you can do it now. I'm just encouraging you!" Ye Fan said telepathically.

Just as the group of people and the dog were discussing, the gaze that had been secretly following them suddenly disappeared.

"Be careful, he might have gone back to get help," Wang Teng said.

At this moment, they had not yet truly penetrated deep into the Purple Mountain. The surroundings were empty and pitch black, and ordinary people could not see the surrounding situation at all.

Wang Teng is exceptionally special because he possesses the heaven-defying ability of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, which allows him to see everything in the dark.

This included the guy who had just followed them. He was from an ancient race, and his appearance was different from modern creatures. He was somewhat like a demon, but he was also very different from demons.

Although that guy was following them, most of the time he was looking at Wang Erya next to Wang Teng with curiosity, and his gaze was filled with awe and surprise.

After chasing them for a distance, the guy ran away silently, and judging from his route, it was clearly heading deep into the Purple Mountain.

In other words, that guy went to call for backup.

"Going to call for reinforcements? That's troublesome!" Black Emperor said, his voice heavy and stern.

"Go ahead and call for reinforcements. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. What's the problem?" Duan De asked.

For him, nothing else mattered as long as he wasn't dead.

In such a large tomb, the living are not so scary; what is truly terrifying are the dead, namely the obsessions or other evil thoughts of the deceased.

If you encounter those things, then there is truly no solution!

"You don't understand this place at all! The ancient clans that can slumber here are also royal families! Their ancestors included legendary ancient emperors! Those were beings comparable to the ancient emperors of the human race! So think about what the slumbering beings here mean!"

Black Emperor spoke seriously, reminding Duan De.

"The royal family among the ancient clans! Comparable to the ancient emperors! Then...aren't all the families here ancient and desolate clans?"
