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

Chapter 263 The Grand Ceremony is About to Begin, Yaochi Stone Archway

The bells of Zishan Mountain toll!

The bell tolls melodiously, its echoes lingering, as if it came from ancient times, its sound reaching this era from the very first chime.

In the Immortal Food Workshop, the first to react was the Black Emperor.

He jumped to his feet, his big dog face filled with surprise and nostalgia.

It is the sound of the bells of the Great Emperor's Imperial Army!

However, Ye Fan reached out a hand and placed it on Black Emperor's back, gently comforting him.

There are too many people these days, so you can't be a scapegoat. Otherwise, others will take notice of you, and even if nothing serious happens, it will still be a lot of trouble.

Black Emperor nodded almost imperceptibly.

The main reason was that everyone around him stood up, and Black Emperor wasn't particularly noticeable among them.

"Has the attack on Zishan yielded any results?"

"Has the God-King been rescued?"

A group of young people were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Purple Mountain Traps the God King!
This is the most talked-about event in the entire Northern Region during this period, and it has even overshadowed the Yaochi Grand Ceremony!

"Fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave first." Jiang Yifei stood up, his voice filled with barely suppressed emotion.

“We understand. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask, Brother Jiang.” Wang Teng and the others nodded and watched the Jiang siblings leave.

The other prodigies also lost interest in gathering and got up to say goodbye, going to find out the outcome of this meeting.

However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

"The attack on Purple Mountain has failed! A great crisis lurks within Purple Mountain! Not only are there powerful ancient clansmen who have already emerged, but there is also a large bell that is suspected to be an imperial weapon!"

"The Jiang family suffered a considerable loss due to being caught off guard, but fortunately, they were well-prepared. Many powerful figures entered the arena, including a king wielding a legendary holy weapon, who intervened at the crucial moment. As a result, only bloodshed occurred, and no one perished..."

"The Jiang family is enraged. After a series of defeats, the Jiang family's imperial weapon has been unleashed, and they will soon set foot on Purple Mountain again!"

……

One rumor after another began to circulate, stirring up trouble once again.

It wasn't just because of the Jiang family's defeat, but also because of something inside Zishan!
A powerful ancient clan member has emerged!
A large bell that is suspected to be an imperial weapon!
A single toll of a bell forced back a group of powerful figures!
Soon, the Jiang family decided to attack Zishan again!
This time, the timeline is set before the Yaochi Grand Ceremony.

Because if everything goes smoothly, I can make it in time for the end of the Yaochi Grand Ceremony and the auction that follows!
If the Jiang family needs any rare and precious materials or resources at that time, they can gather them as quickly as possible.

When they met again, Jiang Yifei's expression became more serious.

Jiang was not in a good mood after the Jiang family's defeat.

"It's alright. This time we've made thorough preparations, even bringing along the Supreme Emperor Weapon. There's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong."

Wang Teng spoke first.

He knew the outcome, and at this moment he was specifically comforting Jiang Yifei.

"I hope so," Jiang Yifei sighed softly.

He was still somewhat worried.

Just when everyone was worried, the Yaochi Grand Ceremony was finally about to begin!
The Yaochi Grand Ceremony and the attack on Zishan are not actually in conflict.

The Jiang family's top combatants entered the arena alongside important figures from other families, but the younger generation was not qualified to participate.

They remained in the holy city, awaiting the commencement of the Jade Pool Ceremony. The vast holy city was growing increasingly crowded.

Amidst great anticipation, the Yaochi Grand Ceremony finally commenced.

The Yaochi Stone Archway was packed with people; ordinary people simply didn't have the right to enter.

Although Yaochi Stone Archway does not admit people based on seniority or strength, most people wouldn't dare to compete with those who have power and connections!

For example, the supreme elders or powerful figures of the major holy lands and families were all personally welcomed in by the people of Yaochi Holy Land.

For example, among the younger generation, the Holy Son of Yao Guang stood there, with thirty-six divine halos shining brightly behind him, making him appear like a young god.
For example, the Ji family's divine body—the void around him was blurred, almost disappearing into the void itself. This was clearly a manifestation of having cultivated the Great Void Technique to an extremely high level, seemingly able to vanish into the void at any moment.

For example, Xia Yiming, the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, wore a dragon robe and walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, exuding an extraordinary and refined temperament...

Who would dare to push or shove such people when they walk?
Even Ye Fan had a large black dog standing upright beside him.

The big black dog's eyes would light up and it would look anyone up and down as soon as they got close.

If it's a famous saint-level figure, then approach them politely and ask if they would be willing to be their favorite.

However, if the person is not famous or not a saint-level figure, the Black Emperor will politely decline, saying that the other party is not worthy of being his pet.

However, Black King was also a kind-hearted dog who couldn't bear to see others unhappy, so he thoughtfully offered advice, "Why don't you become Ye Fan's pet? That way, you can at least be considered my pet's pet."

For a moment, chaos erupted outside the Yaochi Stone Archway.

Some people angrily cursed, some wanted to attack, and others were malicious, deliberately throwing bones at Black Emperor's feet—those were Tu Fei, Li Heishui, and their group...

After finally separating, the person who had just "communicated" with the Black Emperor didn't know whether to feel relieved or angry.
The anger stemmed from the fact that he had been "chosen" by that despicable big black dog, who allowed him to be his pet.
Fortunately, there are still people who haven't been targeted by that despicable big black dog and don't even qualify to become human pets; they can only become human pets' human pets.
"A bunch of people, too impatient, not calm at all. Once my identity is revealed, I wonder how many people will be waiting to become my personal darlings."

After entering the Yaochi Holy Land, the Black Emperor felt quite regretful because he had not received a human pet again.

"Are you sure you won't be hunted down after your identity is exposed?" Ye Fan glanced at Black Emperor and asked.

"This..." Black Emperor paused for a moment, thought seriously for a while, and then slowly said, "It shouldn't be!"

Although he had enemies back then, so much time has passed that those people's bones should have rotted away by now, and those old, trivial matters should not have been recorded or passed down. Therefore, he should not be hunted down.

"You're saying this because you're not even confident in yourself." Ye Fan was somewhat skeptical of Black Emperor.

On the other side, Wang Teng was holding Wang Erya's hand.

Since Wang Teng did not explain Wang Er Ya's identity, the Azure Dragon King originally wanted to explain, but in the end he did not, which was seen by outsiders as the Azure Dragon King's tacit acceptance.

Enraged, the Azure Dragon King ordered his men to beat up the Black Emperor again...

After entering Yaochi Stone Archway, Wang Teng saw many familiar faces, and they all nodded slightly to each other when they met.

This also includes people from families specializing in Origin Arts.

However, they also saw Ye Fan.

Then, Wang Teng saw the young man from the Source Arts family bring over several middle-aged people from the Source Arts family.

"You are Ye Fan? I heard that you once gambled on stones, but it was interrupted by young friend Wang Teng's tribulation, and no winner was decided?" The middle-aged man from the Yuanshu family asked.

"Want to continue gambling?" Ye Fan asked.

Just as the middle-aged man from the Source Arts family was about to speak, a red-haired figure passed by, his arrogant gaze sweeping over the man from the Source Arts family.

In an instant, the expressions of the people from the Source Arts families changed drastically, and some of them even trembled.

P.S.: I was accompanying my partner to get their nails done when my phone died... Last picture before midnight.
