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

Chapter 298 The God-King Returns, "Rewarding Merit"

Duan De originally intended to flee; he had even made preparations.

However, after the Jiang family tried to persuade him to stay, Duan De thought it over carefully and decided to stay.

Nowadays, outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, it's not exactly a mixed bag of fish and dragons, but most of the creatures are dragons.

The powerful figures from various holy lands and aristocratic families were waiting outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, and even the holy lords of several families were present in person.

Given what Duan De had done in those holy lands and aristocratic families, if he went out now, even if he wasn't killed by others, he would most likely be captured alive and tortured slowly.

Before he even left the Dragon Transformation Pool, Duan De could already see someone staring intently at him. It seemed that as soon as he left the pool, someone would find him.

After much deliberation, Duan De decided to stay. He believed that the God King was not the kind of person who would discard someone after they had served their purpose.

Duan De was hidden in the Dragon Transformation Pool. Although the people outside sighed and were dissatisfied, they dared not say anything.

Although they had some grudges with Duan De, Duan De took the initiative to rescue the Jiang family's God King when the Jiang family was in crisis, which already linked them with the Jiang family.

Not to mention that the God-King has now been resurrected; if we were to harm the God-King's savior...

In any case, the holy masters of all the major holy lands and families have already reminded their subordinates not to be too emotional when facing Duan De.

Just as everyone was waiting, people from the Jiang family's main branch finally arrived.

The Holy Lord of the Jiang family arrived late.

Jiang Yi was dissatisfied and angrily rebuked the Holy Master of the Jiang Family in front of many people.

Perhaps because of the debt his lineage owed to Jiang Yi's lineage, or perhaps for other reasons, the Holy Lord of the Jiang family was not angry. He simply recounted the Jiang family's misfortunes in a calm and peaceful manner.

Even when the great battle broke out in the Holy City, the Jiang family was not at peace.

A formidable enemy has descended upon the Jiang family, posing a tremendous threat.

Without the protection of an ultimate imperial weapon, the Jiang family faced a tremendous crisis and nearly had to unearth their ancient resources to fight back.

After learning about the Jiang family's situation, Jiang Yi snorted lightly and didn't say anything more.

After waiting for a day, the God-King finally returned.

No one knows where he went that day, but the changes that day were truly significant.

The god-king, who once had a full head of black hair, now only has a head of white hair. Although he still looks like a young man, his full head of white hair makes him look more weathered.

Beside him stood a girl in colorful clothes, her smile bright and captivating, holding the god-king's arm.

Only when he looked down at the girl did the God-King's expression soften considerably.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

The God King has truly resurrected Fairy Caiyun!

Everyone saw what Fairy Caiyun was like back then.

Her body was shattered, and she was surrounded and killed by multiple powerful enemies. If Wang Teng hadn't forcibly used the power of time and space to prolong her last bit of life, this powerful woman would probably have already perished.

but!

The Fairy of Rainbow Clouds, who was left with only a sliver of life, was actually resurrected by the God King!
When the God King left with Fairy Caiyun, she appeared to be asleep, but everyone knew that there was still much to be done to truly awaken her.

However, after a day, Fairy Caiyun was revived. Although her cultivation had not fully recovered, she was able to return with the God King.

For others, this change is nothing short of a miracle.

While the main creator of this miracle was the God King, everyone has not forgotten that the prerequisite for this miracle to happen was Wang Teng!

The God-King returned and summoned the city's strongest warriors to the main hall of the Holy City.

On this day, all the powerful figures of any standing in the Holy City participated.

Whether they were holy lords of sacred lands and noble families or powerful kings, they all came to the temple to pay homage to the God-King. They already had a vague suspicion that the God-King's ability to easily slay a king meant his true strength might have surpassed that of a king, comparable to ancient sages!

Therefore, even a king-level being is humble when facing the Jiang family's God King.

“I am fully aware of what happened this time.” The God-King sat on the main seat in the temple, with the universally acknowledged God-King Daoist companion, Fairy Caiyun, beside him.

“Some people don’t want me to recover, so they made preparations early on. In this battle, the Jiang family paid a lot, and others also paid a lot.”

The God-King spoke slowly.

The others straightened up; they knew it was time to reward those who had contributed.

"The Jiang family was able to find out my whereabouts thanks to Ye Fan. Moreover, in the Dragon Transformation Pool later, he braved the threat of thirteen powerful figures to break into the pool and bring me a life-extending artifact. He has done me a great favor."

"Qi Hao led the thirteen bandits and fought alongside the demon clan's powerful figures against the Jiang family, delivering a life-extending artifact..."

"Duan De and Wu Liang..."

"The Wang family, the Ji family, the Yao Guang Holy Land..."

The God-King spoke slowly.

Although he did not recover when some things happened, he was already able to sense the situation outside.

Moreover, he was able to learn about the situation from other people.

All those he named had done him a favor, a true act of kindness in his time of need.

"I know there may be some misunderstandings between you all, but since we've met and worked together for a common cause, it's a kind of fate. I wonder if I'm qualified to mediate between you?"

"The Jiang family's divine king asked."

The group below nodded hurriedly, and even the ancient families and the holy lords of the holy lands did not object.

"I've heard that Ye Fan has some conflicts with the Ji family..."

The God-King spoke slowly.

"Reporting to the Divine King, it was all a misunderstanding. Thanks to the mediation of young friend Wang Teng, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and they have now reconciled," said the Holy Master of the Ji family.

"That's good. And Duan De, I've heard he also has some grudges with various families?" the God King asked.

"Reporting to the God-King, this is not a matter of personal grudges, but a deep-seated hatred!"

"This person once entered the cemetery of my Ji family's ancestors and looted all the burial goods there!"

"The Holy Land of Yaoguang also suffered this same calamity!"

"This guy hasn't been in the Northern Region for long, and our Dao Yi Holy Land has already fallen victim to him!"

"And our Purple Mansion Holy Land, too..."

"We demons also have something to say!"

"To be honest, although I am a notorious bandit, this guy really is..."

The moment Duan De was mentioned, the atmosphere at the scene instantly heated up, with everyone there to express their dissatisfaction.

Because this guy really did do some inhuman things, entering the tombs of many sacred families, claiming to explore the true meaning of history, but actually going to steal other people's burial objects, and he was caught red-handed many times.

Although the God King had heard some legends about Duan De and was mentally prepared, he still found it somewhat unbelievable to see almost everyone below criticizing Duan De's past actions.

Although the Holy Master of the Jiang family did not speak, the expression on his face said it all.

"Duan De, do you have anything to say?" the God King asked, looking at Duan De.
