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

Chapter 213 The Vanished Ancient Clan Guardian

They finally arrived inside Purple Mountain. Although they were still far from their true destination, at least they had made it here.

"We've fought our way back here again. It really brings back memories..." Ye Fan couldn't help but say.

The last time he came here, he obtained the Source Book and accidentally released the Black Emperor, that scourge.

But this time, they came here to explore Zishan.

Moreover, the lineup this time is exceptionally impressive.

Besides Ye Fan, who had been here once before, there was also the Black Emperor, a being who originally came from Purple Mountain.

If the two of them can be considered as guides.

Then the role that other people can play is also exceptionally powerful.

Take Duan De for example. Although he was a very immoral man who had done many things and was hunted down by the ancient families and the holy land, it must be said that he was an absolutely top-notch professional in tomb raiding.

If he weren't highly professional and experienced, he wouldn't have been hunted down by both the Holy Land and the Ancient Aristocratic Clan.

In addition, Wu Liang is also Duan De's capable assistant. The two of them are outstanding "prodigies" in this industry. With the two of them traveling together, at least if they encounter anything strange along the way, they are professional enough to solve the problem quickly.

Even if they can't solve the problem, they can come up with other ways to deal with it. If all else fails, they can even run away, which will greatly increase their chances of success!

As for Wang Teng, he goes without saying. He is the main combat force in their team, and his strength is beyond doubt. In terms of pure combat power, Wang Teng is capable of challenging those beyond their limits. Therefore, even if they encounter a powerful expert from the Dragon Transformation Realm, they will have a chance to deal with him.

Not to mention that there is an even more powerful being following Wang Teng inside his body, so even if something unexpected happens, Wang Teng will be able to lead them to safety.

The mysterious ancient girl, Wang Erya, was considered part of their group because she came with Wang Teng. Although no one expected Wang Erya to play a significant role, her relationship with Wang Teng alone was enough to secure her place there.

Once inside, they saw even more: the interior of Purple Mountain was filled with a complex network of passageways leading to various parts of the surrounding area. If they followed these passageways to other places, they might be able to leave through other exits.

Of course, it's also possible that they won't find any other way out and will continue to be trapped in this mysterious passage.

"I came in from here last time. Last time I came here, I encountered some strange noises. I managed to dodge them with my special armor. I thought I would encounter those guys again this time, but I didn't see them at all."

Ye Fan spoke, seemingly with some regret.

Last time, he was forced into a rather embarrassing situation by those things, and he had been silently holding a grudge in his heart. This time, he originally thought that since he had brought so many people with him, if he encountered those guys again, he would definitely teach them a lesson. Unexpectedly, this time it was unusually quiet.

"You need to be even more careful if you don't encounter those things," Black Emperor reminded him solemnly.

“Those guys are like servants of the ancient race. If they are still here, it means that the ancient race here is still asleep and needs them as servants to guard this place. But if those guys disappear, it means that the ancient race here has awakened, or at least a part of it has awakened,” the Black Emperor said.

That's why his expression was so serious.

The ancient tribes that are asleep are not the same as the ancient tribes that have awakened.

If the ancient tribes are asleep, then as long as we are careful and avoid passing through their settlements, we will not have any direct interactions or conflicts with them.

Even if they only meet briefly, they can turn around and leave. As long as there is no conflict, even the ancient races will not easily revive to break their slumber over a trivial matter.

However, if the ancient races were to revive, that would be a huge problem. If they were to encounter each other, a conflict could very likely break out.

"So those things were the guardians of the ancient race?" Duan De had just heard Ye Fan's description and then belatedly realized what was going on.
He had been walking through large tombs for many years, how could he not have encountered such a thing?

However, there were a few times when he didn't pay much attention and thought it was a guardian of an ancient tomb.

Looking back now, it's fortunate that he didn't pay much attention at the time; otherwise, if he had continued to go deeper, he might have encountered the so-called ancient tribe!

Duan De had heard some things about the ancient tribes, but he certainly didn't know as much as the Black Emperor did.

"Yes, it seems this trip to Purple Mountain is not so simple!" Black Emperor nodded.

He was also a little puzzled.

How could the ancient races have recovered so quickly? This doesn't make sense at all.

Have we already reached the golden age that the Great Emperor spoke of?

But why doesn't he feel anything yet? The only decent person he's encountered right now is this boy with a special physique.

But this boy alone, and the one or two divine bodies that have appeared in the rumors, still cannot prove that this has anything to do with the Golden Age.

Of course, Wang Teng is different. Wang Teng isn't just gifted; he's truly defying the heavens.

"It doesn't matter, they're just some guys who should have died long ago."

Wang Teng remained calm and spoke with disdain.

To him, these creatures were things that should have decayed long ago. Their best end would have been to return to antiquity with the passage of time. However, they used the divine resources of heaven and earth to barely sustain themselves and live to this era.

This is very inappropriate.

"I'm relieved to hear Young Master Wang say that!" Duan De said with a smile.

With such a powerful prodigy accompanying them to plan important matters, Duan De felt a great sense of security. For him, this was the first time since his debut that he had felt so confident.

"Be careful! The ancient races are not as easy to deal with as you think. After all, they are royal families from the ancient times, and they have produced true ancient emperors. No one knows what kind of backup plans they have," the Black Emperor said, reminding them.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Wang Teng nodded.

Ye Fan cautiously explored the area for a while, and only after confirming that the creatures that had once been here had disappeared did they continue to venture deeper.

After continuing along this road for a while, Ye Fan and his companions once again felt the cold gazes upon them.

Moreover, this time there was more than one gaze.

Deeper inside, they even saw several blurry figures standing there. They stood there without moving, but Ye Fan and his companions felt as if they were waiting for them there.

"Finally, I've encountered it..."
