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

Chapter 284 Duan De: I always have a feeling someone wants me dead.
The rag that Duan De took out looked greasy and grayish-brown, as if it had been soaked in oil for a long time.

Even so, Duan De held the tattered cloth carefully, as if it held some very serious meaning for him.

Seeing the tattered cloth, Jiang Yun showed no disgust. He took the tattered cloth from Duan De's hand with the same seriousness and care.

He took a deep breath after just one glance, his face filled with surprise.

"Good heavens! You were able to escape from the Holy Land families so many times back then, it's clear that you relied on more than just luck!" Jiang Yun exclaimed excitedly.

Seeing this, Ye Fan also came over. He looked at the rag in Jiang Yun's hand, which was covered with various patterns. It looked intricate and complicated. Just one glance at it made him feel like his mind was being drawn in.

His divine sense was even far superior to those of others of the same level, yet he still had this feeling, which shows just how complex the array patterns drawn on this tattered cloth were.

"A quarter of an ancient saint formation! With this, we can hold out a little longer, perhaps until reinforcements from my Jiang family arrive!" Jiang Yun exclaimed excitedly.

Fortunately, they had made thorough preparations from the beginning. There were plenty of materials in the Dragon Transformation Pool, and now that they had the rag, they could use it directly.

"This is my most treasured possession, you guys have to hold on, don't let them in!" Duan De said with a bitter face.

The fact that he kept this item close to his body shows how much he cherished it.

If it weren't for the fourteen powerful figures and a king watching him intently outside, making him truly feel the threat of death, he would never have easily taken this item out.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. If the Divine King Ancestor can turn the tide this time, there will be room for reconciliation between you and the Jiang family," Jiang Yun said earnestly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to resolve the feud between them directly; it was simply that the feud between them was too great.

The ancestral graves of some members of the Jiang family have been dug up, and the burial objects inside have all disappeared.

The grudges between them are not so easily resolved, but if the God King Ancestor can be successfully revived this time, Jiang Yun is willing to vouch for him. As long as Duan De can return some of the items he obtained from the Jiang family tomb and promise not to enter the Jiang family tomb again in the future, the grudges between the two sides can indeed be resolved to some extent.

The three powerful figures from the Jiang family made their move.

With detailed explanations of the array patterns and ample materials prepared beforehand, a new array pattern quickly appeared beneath the Emperor's array patterns.

Upon seeing this newly appeared formation, the expressions of the fourteen powerful figures outside changed slightly.

"Ancient Saint Array Patterns! And they're quite complete!" one of the powerful figures exclaimed, unable to hide his astonishment.

What they usually refer to as a corner of the array pattern is at most less than one-tenth or even less of a complete array pattern. Therefore, having a quarter of the array pattern is already considered complete.

"They underestimated the heroes of the world. The methods that the Jiang family didn't use were instead brought out by the Daoist!" one of the powerful figures sneered.

Duan De shivered and hid behind Jiang Yun.

"Master, you've done quite a few good deeds over the years. You've been hunted down by the Holy Land and the aristocratic families for so long, yet now you're willing to help them. Aren't you afraid they'll turn against you after they escape?"

Another great being asked.

Duan De's face darkened, and he remained silent.

The current situation is quite clear. If he continues to choose to help the Jiang family's God King, then he will still have a glimmer of hope. However, if he helps those outsiders, the Jiang family will definitely fight him to the death, and those outsiders may not let him go either.

Because Duan De was well aware of his own situation, he had dug up many graves while traveling across the Eastern Wilderness in his early years.

There were more than a dozen people outside; who knows, one of them might have had their ancestral grave visited by him.

"How dare you! Master Duan is not the kind of person who would curry favor with the powerful! Even if you put a knife to his throat, he would still fight for the justice he believes in!"

Ye Fan spoke, righteously rebuking those outside. "Very well! Well done, Daoist Duan! Once the formation is broken, I'll be the first to kill you!" a powerful figure roared.

Clearly, he was the victim Duan De suspected was someone whose ancestral grave he might have accidentally dug up.

"That's not what I said!" Duan De's face turned green.

He watched as Ye Fan reprimanded those people outside, but they turned their anger on him instead.

He desperately wanted to explain, but those powerful figures outside wouldn't listen to him at all.

To some extent, Duan De is now a source of both old and new grudges for them.

"Break the formation! Slay Duan De!" someone shouted.

The onlookers in the distance had no idea what was happening.

Weren't they aiming for the Jiang family's Divine King Ancestor? Why are they now targeting Duan De?
Duan De's face turned even uglier.

Seeing that the Emperor's array was about to break and the enemy was about to break through, Duan De hurriedly took out something and handed it to Jiang Yun.

"Master, you have such a good thing?" Jiang Yun asked excitedly.

The dozen or so powerful figures outside the formation looked over again, their cold gazes falling on Duan De.

"Don't say a word! You must guard the Dragon Transformation Pool!" Duan De was on the verge of tears.

He felt that he had been locked onto by an unseen killing intent!

"Heh heh." A powerful figure spoke, his voice icy and filled with killing intent, "Master Duan is truly kind-hearted!"

Upon hearing this, Duan De trembled and immediately pulled out several tattered battle flags from his pockets.

"Promise me! Protect me!" Duan De was so excited he almost cried.

In a short time, he had already given away three priceless treasures.

These three items were his most treasured possessions, which he only used when facing powerful figures from holy lands and aristocratic families. But now he took them out and gave them to Jiang Yun, entrusting him with control and protection of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Ye Fan was also stunned.

He felt that he and Black Emperor had underestimated Duan De.

This guy definitely has something even more valuable on him!
However, this guy has always been the type to wait for a sure thing before making a move; he will never reveal his trump card unless there is a real crisis.

Therefore, Ye Fan decided to add fuel to the fire and squeeze something more out of Duan De.

"Master Duan is truly kind-hearted! He didn't hesitate to use his most treasured possessions to rescue Senior God King. This kindness is truly rare!" Ye Fan exclaimed.

"Please don't say anything, I really have nothing left!" Duan De was almost crying with anxiety.

A dozen powerful figures outside attacked simultaneously, their heaven-shattering strikes landing on the formation, causing even the ancient saint formation to tremble.

Duan De trembled, and he cried out urgently, "I still have things here! I still have things!"
