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

Chapter 261 A King is Born, and Everyone Takes Sides
The fact that the Holy Lord of the Jiang family was ambushed and killed on the way was a terrible thing, no less serious than the fact that the Holy Lord of Yaoguang was ambushed and killed by the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King back then, and even worse.

Because the one who attacked the Holy Lord of the Jiang family was a Dao-Slaying King!
In terms of strength, it far surpasses that of the Peacock King and Azure Dragon King who made the move back then, and the losses it caused are also far greater than before. The Jiang family even lost a powerful figure, and the Holy Lord was injured and had to flee.

The entire northern region of the Eastern Wilderness was in an uproar because of this.

The Jiang family was furious at the sudden and enormous loss!
The Jiang family's main ancestral home is in the Northern Region, and their influence extends throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness. When has the Jiang family ever suffered such a great loss?
"Some people don't want to see the God King Ancestor resurrected and want to use this method to warn the Jiang family!"

Inside the Jiang family, someone spoke angrily.

"The God-King Ancestor was invincible in the entire Eastern Wilderness thousands of years ago. Now that he has disappeared for so many years, news of him has resurfaced. Those people are afraid, worried that the powerful figure who once surpassed their fathers will return!"

"They wanted to warn the Jiang family in this way, to make them give up on rescuing the God King Ancestor, but they forgot that the Jiang family has stood in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness for so many years. As an ancient family with a history of hundreds of thousands of years, they have never relied on compromising and yielding!"

The entire Jiang family was remarkably united in their attitude.

Deep within the Jiang family compound, someone carried out a coffin, respectfully opened the lid, and respectfully called out to the King Ancestor.

Since their own Holy Lord was assassinated by a King, it was indeed necessary to summon the King Ancestor to guard the area; otherwise, everything would be too passive.

After the King Ancestor was revived, he calmly listened to the whole story, then left the Jiang family without saying a word, holding the legendary holy weapon. He traveled to the Northern Region in a high-profile manner, eventually arriving at the Holy City, where he had a private conversation with the King Ancestor of the Wang family for a day.

Wang Teng, as the strongest among the younger generation, was also chosen to pay a visit to this senior.

"You are quite good. You were able to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Emperor from the moves. Your future achievements are limitless. If you don't mind having a deeper connection with my Jiang family, you can come to my Jiang family and read the Hengyu Emperor Scripture, excluding forbidden techniques."

The patriarch of the Jiang family spoke, offering great goodwill.

In fact, after each Great Emperor attained enlightenment, almost all of them borrowed scriptures from previous Great Emperors. This was not a secret between the ancient families and the Holy Land.

What the old ancestor of the Jiang family did at this moment was not excessive. Even for ancient families, there were outsiders who cultivated the Emperor Scripture.

"This junior thanks you, senior!" Wang Teng said.

That's why ancient aristocratic families can be passed down for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
The legacy of their ancestors is one factor, their own inherent strengths are one reason, and another reason is that they all had a longer-term vision and were able to make more advantageous choices without damaging the reputation of their ancestors.

Just like this moment.

What the patriarchs of the Jiang and Wang families discussed next remains unknown.

However, when the Jiang family's patriarch left, he glanced indifferently at the bandits gathered in the holy city.

He didn't make a move; his mere gaze was enough to send chills down the spines of those powerful bandits.

"Tch, what's so great about him! He's just a Dao-Slaying King, acting like no one can break through..." The Azure Dragon King was unconvinced.

After cultivating the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, he himself is also undergoing a transformation, and now he has touched the threshold of the Dao-severing stage.

Once this transformation is completed, there is a chance to leap to the next level and become a king above the Great Power!
However, before truly becoming a Dao-Slaying King, he still bowed his head when facing the King Ancestor of the Jiang family.

After all, not long ago he had arranged for the Peacock King to seize the Jiang family's mining area...

The Jiang family's patriarch didn't say anything. Among the bandits, there were also strong ones. If he bullied the weak, and the legendary number one bandit were to fall in the future, the Jiang family members who traveled outside might not be able to stop him.

Let your generation handle the problems of their own generation. If they can't solve them, consider it a learning experience for them.

Before leaving, the Jiang family's patriarch looked at one of the bandits and slowly said, "I already know about your situation. As long as you are willing to go back, the family will find a way to make amends to you."

"I'm not going back!" The burly man shook his head decisively. His name was Jiang Yi, and he ranked ninth among the thirteen bandits. He left the Jiang family in anger due to a conflict between his brother and the Jiang family patriarch's lineage, and voluntarily became a bandit.

"Very well, the Jiang family still welcomes you. As long as you are willing to return, no one in the Jiang family will stop you." The Jiang family's patriarch shook his head slightly and did not insist any further.

After leaving the Holy City, the King Ancestor of the Jiang family no longer concealed his aura and directly descended to the place where the Holy Lord of the Jiang family had been ambushed. He unleashed his full power and searched for something bit by bit.

Soon, another king arrived.

He is the kingly ancestor of the Wang family!

He also arrived wielding the royal family's heirloom weapon!
Upon seeing this, the patriarch of the Jiang family couldn't help but smile.

He knew that the Wang family had ultimately chosen to ally with the Jiang family, and that his efforts to befriend Wang Teng by using the Jiang family's Hengyu Imperial Scripture as an olive branch had not been in vain.

The appearance of the royal family's king also attracted the attention of a group of people in the holy city.

"The fate of the Northern Plains royal family's patriarch—does this mean they've already decided to form an alliance with the Jiang family?"

"The Jiang family's God-King Ancestor from thousands of years ago is suspected to be alive, but someone does not want to see the Jiang family's God-King Ancestor resurrected. The previous attack may have been a warning."

"The Jiang family's God-King Ancestor hasn't even been rescued yet, and a King-level expert is already making a move. This shows the determination of the person behind him. If the Jiang family's God-King Ancestor really is rescued..."

"No wonder the Jiang family needs to find someone to form an alliance."

Within the Holy City, countless powerful figures are watching the Jiang family's movements closely.

The fate of the Wang family's patriarch has sparked much speculation.

The Ji family's stone archway was visited by the Ji family's holy lord, who spent a long time communicating with the Ji family's reclusive ancestor.

Even in the sacred land of Yao Guang, whispers are being heard...

The events that happened in the Jiang family have touched a nerve with too many people. Whether it was the King descending to assassinate the Holy Lord, the resurrection of the Jiang family's King Ancestor, or the Wang family's King Ancestor taking sides, all of these events have stirred up a lot of emotions.

Wang Teng sat cross-legged in a side hall, his gaze calm.

He knew everything about the outside world, including the fact that the Wang family's patriarch had chosen sides.

There was no way around it; the olive branch offered by the Jiang family was simply too tempting.

Alliances are common among large families; forming alliances for common interests is a frequent occurrence.

The Holy Lord of the Ji Family and the Holy Lord of Yao Guang both attacked the Peacock King together.

Outsiders, the events surrounding the Yaochi Grand Ceremony have overshadowed half of the excitement surrounding it. However, as a lineage that has produced ancient emperors, the Yaochi Holy Land will not easily change its long-standing rules for any other reason.

The atmosphere in the entire holy city grew increasingly eerie. Some people were waiting for the Yaochi Grand Ceremony to begin, hoping to participate and then leave this vortex immediately.

However, some people, eager for a spectacle and not afraid of things getting out of hand, continued to wait and see how the Jiang family would react.

And the Jiang family did not disappoint!

The Holy Lord of the Jiang Family has returned to his peak and personally stepped forward to announce a high-profile attack on Zishan to rescue the Jiang Family God King!
