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

Chapter 244 We still have to beat that black dog up!
Upon arriving at this location, the group exchanged glances and prepared to select stones.

Those waiting to watch the battle along the way were already impatient.

Although Qi Hao had previously made a bet with the Yuanshu family, it was not publicized at the time. Only Qi Hao, the Peacock King, a few bandits, and some people from the Yuanshu family participated, so they did not know that there had been an even more sensational stone gambling battle not long ago.

However, the heir of the Source Arts family is under great pressure at this moment.

If that red-haired boy hadn't been there, they would have been confident enough to crush Ye Fan, who was rumored to be incredibly powerful, in terms of Origin Techniques.

But now, with the arrival of that red-haired boy, the heir of the Source Arts family has lost his initial confidence.

At least in front of that red-haired boy, they dared not show the confidence and arrogance they had shown at the beginning.

However, Ye Fan was unaware of Qi Hao's battle record.

Ye Fan was curious about this arrogant and flamboyant young man, but he didn't have much of a subjective feeling about him because the other party hadn't provoked him.

Inside this stone archway, the old folks gathered in a crowd, while the younger generation was even squeezed out and had to stand on tiptoe to see what was going on inside.

Even the Ji family's divine body and his sister Ji Ziyue were ruthlessly squeezed out by a group of supreme elders from holy land families.

Ji Haoyue sighed softly and said nothing, because next to him he saw the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of Yaoguang, as well as the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of several other holy lands, including the prince from the Central State Dynasty. Beside that prince was a girl wearing a monk's hat.

These young people, although each of them already had a distinguished status, couldn't resist those who squeezed them out, whose status was even more distinguished. Those people were the elders of their respective families. Although their status was very prominent, the group of juniors were too embarrassed to compete with their elders.

The group of young people nodded to each other and exchanged brief greetings.

They didn't delve too deeply into the discussion, because their main purpose this time was actually to watch Ye Fan gamble on stones with the heir of the Yuanshu family.

In the crowd, Ye Fan and the heirs of the Source Arts family had already dispersed to search for the stones they had their eyes on.

Wang Teng and Hei Huang stood still, not following Ye Fan out.

However, they remained at the very back because no one pushed Wang Teng out.

Even the older generation of cultivators greeted Wang Teng politely with smiles on their faces.

Because they keenly perceived something.

Wang Teng was captured by the Peacock King, but now he has returned.

Initially, rumors circulated that Wang Teng had escaped and returned, but now the Peacock King is also watching the battle, not far from Wang Teng. If Wang Teng had truly escaped, the Peacock King would not have stood by indifferently.

This doesn't make sense, so some people recalled some rumors from a few days ago.

"Have you heard? There's a reason why Wang Teng was able to escape the control of the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King! Although Wang Teng is powerful, he is still just a young man. Even if he is powerful, can he escape from under the noses of these powerful figures like the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King?" An older generation expert said in a low voice.

"Hmm? Then how was Wang Teng able to escape?" The people around him immediately became interested and couldn't help but ask.

"It is said...it is said, but I only heard it from others, and I still cannot verify its truth." The older generation of powerful figures spoke up, trying to extricate himself from the situation.

"There were rumors circulating in the city recently that the reason Wang Teng was able to escape from the Qingjiao King and the Peacock King's control was not because Wang Teng was strong enough to escape, but because Wang Teng had a child with one of the Qingjiao King's descendants!"

The old man spoke. An old man who had been concealing his identity nearby immediately turned pale.

Beside him stood a young man with his head down, not daring to utter a sound.

Not far away, the Peacock King had obviously heard the discussion. He tried hard to suppress his laughter, and his gaze swept over the dark-faced old man, his smile growing even wider.

"What? Is that so?" someone asked seriously, finding it unbelievable.

"I didn't believe it at first either, but you can ask around and find out if Wang Teng was accompanied by a little girl when he first came out. That little girl had dragon horns on her head. That's the strongest evidence!" the older generation expert said confidently.

"I never expected this... You can know a person's face but not their heart! The Azure Dragon King has not sought a Daoist partner for so many years, and we all thought that his only descendant was the Azure-Clad Little Dragon King! I never expected this!"

A group of older, powerful figures around them began to discuss the matter in hushed tones.

Even with the Peacock King right next to them, they were not afraid.

On the one hand, their own strength was already very powerful. Although they were not great powers, they were still powerful figures in ancient families and holy lands.

On the other hand, fighting is forbidden in the city. If the Peacock King dares to attack them at this moment, he will be driven out by everyone whenever he sets foot in the city in the future.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Peacock King didn't want to stop them at all, and even wanted to hear them say a few more details.

The old man with a dark face became even angrier.

"Didn't that despicable big black dog say back then that he wouldn't spread this matter any further? How come people are still discussing it now!" The Azure Dragon King was in a bad mood.

His gaze fell on the big black dog in the crowd.

The big black dog had clearly not noticed the commotion yet, and was now standing happily beside Wang Teng, watching the group of people selecting stones.

"No, he's laughing too happily. I still suspect he's involved. I'll have to beat him up again later!" the Azure Dragon King thought bitterly.

He was, after all, a powerful figure. After his Daoist partner perished, he never had any ambiguous relationships with other demons or humans again, and he devoted himself to raising his only descendant, the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King.

As a result, when he got old, all sorts of unbelievable rumors suddenly appeared, and some people even said those rumors "to his face".

Ye Fan and the people from the Source Arts family, who were in the very center of the crowd, were naturally unaware of what the group of elders outside were discussing; they were carefully selecting stones.

They used their respective skills to tap and hammer at the stones, or to select stones using various methods.

The various methods were dazzling, making the veteran onlookers feel that their visit was well worth it.

But just as the heirs of the Source Arts family were painstakingly selecting stones, Qi Hao, the most conspicuous and arrogant red-haired youth in the crowd, walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.

After watching the heirs of the Source Arts family select stones and having already made a preliminary decision, he stood behind the Source Arts family's superman for a while, and then suddenly sighed.

In an instant, cold sweat poured down the back of the Yuanshu family heir.

Subconsciously, he even wanted to throw away the stone in his hand and make a new choice.
