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

Chapter 371 Suppression, Great Sage as Slave

"Heh, just a mere Great Sage? Do you really think I'd be afraid of you?" Qi Hao said with an arrogant smile.

From beginning to end, he never took the Great Sage in the shadows seriously.

The Great Sage may seem very strong, but in reality, he's just so-so.

Qi Hao didn't even bother to call for reinforcements from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land; instead, he directly sent the Great Sage there.

That giant hand reached out from the desolate ancient forbidden land, and its owner was the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

The array patterns that Qi Hao had drawn earlier were not domain gates. After all, his cultivation level was only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, and after being suppressed, it was only at the Four Extremes Realm. It was absolutely impossible for him to open up a void passage in the small world.

The only purpose of the array pattern he drew was to provide a coordinate system, indicating the location of the Great Accomplished Holy Body, which was far away in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

The domain gate that opened later was forcibly opened by the Great Accomplished Holy Body, who then dragged that Great Saint back to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Before anyone else could react, the portal had already closed.

When the group finally recovered from the shock of the Great Sage's appearance, they discovered that the Great Sage was gone!
"Where... is that Great Sage?" someone couldn't help but ask.

They were almost kneeling down when, fortunately, the unruly Qi Hao spoke up, attracting the Great Sage's attention and reducing the pressure on them.

However, when they came to their senses, they found that the Great Sage had disappeared!

"It seems they were taken away by the people behind Qi Hao..."

Someone spoke up, their words tinged with uncertainty.

They hadn't reacted at first, but when they came to their senses, they saw Qi Hao summon a giant hand and pull the so-called Great Sage into a portal.

Then there is no more then.

After the portal disappeared, the ancient sage never reappeared.

It was as if that ancient sage had never existed!
The scene fell silent as a group of people looked at Qi Hao with suspicion and uncertainty.

No one expected Qi Hao to strike again, shocking everyone once more.

That was a Great Sage, whose strength far exceeded everyone's expectations. But even so, when facing Qi Hao, that Great Sage suffered a great loss and was directly dragged into an unknown land.

Moreover, everyone subconsciously felt that the Great Sage might not be able to return.

If he could return, that Great Sage would probably have already returned long ago.

"Hehe, everyone, don't worry, he's just a lowly rat." Qi Hao said to everyone with a smile.

"A Great Sage who survived from an unknown era sealed himself within a divine source to eke out a living. If he had continued to eke out a living, no one would have bothered him. But this guy suddenly appeared, intending to kill off the younger generation of the Eastern Wilderness..."

Qi Hao spoke arrogantly, his face still showing arrogance when mentioning this ancient sage, as if he had never taken the so-called ancient sage seriously.

However, judging from Qi Hao's performance, he did indeed have the qualifications, because that ancient sage was suppressed by the powerful figure behind Qi Hao.

"It's a competition among the younger generation, but a bunch of old guys are jumping in to interfere. Isn't this just asking for trouble?" Qi Hao said with dissatisfaction.

The group of geniuses around them fell silent in fear.

"Although this small world was specially released to lure out geniuses like you, there are indeed some opportunities inside. If you want to seize them, you can do so now. I won't get involved in the rest," Qi Hao said, his arrogant expression returning.

The next moment, he also stepped into the void and disappeared completely.

“I will interrogate that Great Sage. You are free to act as you please; no one will dare to touch you.”

Qi Hao's voice rang in the ears of a group of bandits.

He borrowed power directly from his original body and opened a portal that allowed him to travel directly from this small world to the Ancient Forbidden Land, appearing in the Ancient Forbidden Land in an instant.

Deep within the desolate forbidden land, the Great Accomplished Holy Body single-handedly suppressed the once high-spirited Great Saint, his eyes still filled with contemplation.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Qi Hao nodded slightly to the Great Perfection Holy Body as soon as he appeared.

His nature was unruly, but in the desolate forbidden land, he still tried to restrain himself somewhat, and when facing these powerful figures, he still showed a certain degree of respect.

Because he really was beaten!
"You're welcome. This guy's aura is from the same source as the Ancient Forbidden Land, it seems to come from this lineage?" The Great Saint Body stared at the Great Saint in front of him and said.

The Great Sage, who had just been so arrogant and domineering in the outside world, was now trembling with fear and his head down.

He is shocked now.

It wasn't just because Qi Hao had summoned a Great Accomplished Holy Body capable of challenging the ancient emperors, but also because of his current environment.

He was one of the powerful figures in the lineage of the Ruthless Great Emperor, and was naturally very familiar with the aura of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. At this moment, feeling the aura around him, he could hardly believe it.

He actually arrived in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and it seemed to be the deepest part of the Desolate Ancient Realm. Among the powerful figures standing around him were some he had seen before, the famous Desolate Slaves of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

But now those famous slaves are standing around that unruly red-haired boy, seemingly worshipping him as their master.

The Great Sage felt he might be going crazy, how could he have such a delusion!
What is the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land? It is suspected to be the core of their lineage's inheritance. Even the strongest members of their lineage are not qualified to enter the deepest part of the Desolate Ancient Realm.

Qi Hao was merely a nobody in the Dragon Transformation Realm. How could he possibly reach the deepest part of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and even have a group of Desolate Slaves who obeyed him?

But the attitude of that Great Accomplished Holy Body already says a lot.

"Hehe, although they are from our lineage, they are not recognized by our lineage. We can only cultivate some geniuses outside to practice our lineage's techniques." Qi Hao chuckled.

Amidst the Great Sage's shocked gaze, he walked over and casually slapped the Great Sage on the head.

"That old guy is quite arrogant, helping that Yao Guang Saint Son to plot an ambush against the powerful figures of the Eastern Wilderness. Does he really think I don't know your plan?" Qi Hao said, his full head of red hair flying, making his already unruly aura even more arrogant and domineering.

Suddenly, he was slapped by a cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the Great Sage's face was filled with disbelief.

He had already become a sage tens of thousands of years ago, and all the powerful figures in the world treated him with utmost respect when they saw him. But now, he was actually slapped in the face!

"What? Old man, you're still not convinced?" Qi Hao remained defiant and slapped him again.

Even the Great Sage, to him, any enemy was just a chicken or a dog, someone he could beat at any time.

The surrounding slaves were not surprised by this; they had also come into contact with Wang Teng's Dao Palace deity and naturally knew Qi Hao's personality.

Let alone a Great Sage, even a Quasi-Emperor who offends Qi Hao will be met with two merciless slaps from him. That's just his personality—unruly, unyielding, and unyielding.

"Who exactly are you?" the Great Sage asked, his eyes red.

He never imagined that he would be caught off guard and lose everything. He was just a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Even if he possessed an ultimate imperial weapon that could be fully revived at any time, he was confident that he could take it all away from the other party.

But who could have imagined that the other party would casually summon a Great Perfection Saint Body with a single move? And who could have imagined that he would be taken back to the deepest abyss of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?

For their lineage, this place is no less than a sacred land. Some of their legends are linked to the ancient forbidden land, and some powerful figures have even gone to great lengths to come here to explore, but none of them have succeeded.

On the contrary, he was the first to arrive at the deepest part of the desolate forbidden land, even as a prisoner.

"Who am I?" Qi Hao laughed upon hearing this. "You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to help others against me?"

The Great Sage remained silent, not uttering a single word.

To be honest, if he had known earlier that Qi Hao possessed such abilities, he would have surrendered immediately and would never have stayed with the Holy Son of Yao Guang for even a moment longer!
"He's a Great Sage after all. Just mark him with a slave mark and throw him into the Supreme Holy Land as a deterrent," Qi Hao said calmly.

He had no interest in explaining anything to a prisoner.

A prisoner should act like a prisoner. Why ask so many questions? Who is the prisoner?

Upon hearing Qi Hao's words, the Great Sage's expression immediately changed. "Wait, I have something to say!"

He believed that, given the red-haired boy's unruly personality, he really didn't care about so many things!

Upon hearing this, the Great Accomplished Holy Body looked at Qi Hao, seemingly waiting for Qi Hao's decision.

"To use the words of the ancient aristocratic families, what could a strong member of a branch know? Just mark him with a slave mark, and then he can ask whatever he wants to know," Qi Hao said casually.

"No, I have important news..." The Great Sage panicked and hurriedly spoke.

Although he is very strong, he would be a powerful figure in any era. He doesn't even need to show his face to get the ancient families and holy lands that once produced ancient emperors to give him face.

However, it depends on who you compare it to.

Before the Great Accomplished Holy Body, he was nothing.

He frantically tried to buy himself some time, but the group of people opposite him wouldn't listen to his explanation at all.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body came before the Great Sage, calmly extending a hand and placing it on the Great Sage's head.

Normally, the Great Accomplished Sacred Body's strength far surpasses that of the Great Sage, and in a normal battle, the Great Accomplished Sacred Body would definitely be able to overpower the Great Sage.

Not to mention that this Great Accomplished Holy Body has been in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land for so long, his strength is only stronger now compared to before!

He suppressed the Great Sage with one hand, drew the array patterns of the Ruthless Great Emperor's lineage with the other, and then forcibly suppressed the array patterns into the Great Sage's body, directly imprinting them on the Great Sage's foundation, so that he could never break free.

"Alright, it's resolved. This guy seems to actually be one of our lineage? The cultivation techniques he practices are incomplete Devouring Heaven Demon Art and Undying Heaven Art," the Great Accomplished Holy Body said.

Just as he was suppressing this Great Sage, he also took the opportunity to check on the Great Sage's situation and found that the Great Sage's cultivation method was indeed somewhat similar to that of the one in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

"Yes." Qi Hao nodded.

A bronze ring had appeared on his hand at some point.

He came to the Great Sage's side, put one hand on the Great Sage's head, and then used the power of the bronze ring to manipulate the mark in the Great Sage's body, forcibly suppressing him and reading his memories.

Although Qi Hao's strength was inferior to his opponent's, with the bronze ring in hand, he had the highest authority outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, second only to the Ruthless Great Emperor.

It can be said that as long as he wears the bronze ring, he can mobilize the power of the desolate forbidden land at any time, using the power of a forbidden zone to suppress anyone.

Qi Hao closed his eyes slightly and read the Great Sage's memories.

Half a day later, he finally opened his eyes.

"I thought he was some kind of powerful senior, but I never imagined he just became a self-proclaimed elder after failing to make it in that era!"

Qi Hao spoke with some disdain.

"Although it's weak, it did make an appearance in that small world before and gained some fame, so let's take it to guard our Supreme Holy Land."

In the end, Qi Hao still chose to take in this Great Sage.

Since he had already marked them with the mark of servants, the life and death of this Great Sage were now in his hands.

If he wanted to, this Great Sage would perish in an instant.

"Should we send another slave to keep an eye on this guy?" the Great Saint Body asked, worried that the Great Saint might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve that could be detrimental to Qi Hao.

"It's nothing, just a Dao Palace deity. If he dies, he dies. We can just have his original body split again later. If this guy really dares to make a move, I'll stuff him into the Primordial Ancient Mine to mine for me." Qi Hao waved his hand and said indifferently.

The Great Sage standing to the side widened his eyes in disbelief. He hadn't expected this guy to be so mysterious and powerful, even though he was only a Dao Palace deity!
So who exactly is this guy?
"Let's go, don't just stand there. Go to the Supreme Holy Land and be a watchdog. When I succeed in attaining enlightenment, perhaps I can let you continue to be my dog."

Qi Hao spoke, reaching out to tap the Great Sage on the head.

A group of ancient sages-level slaves nearby twitched their eyelids slightly.

To be honest, it's only because they know Qi Hao's personality so well that they would have gone out of their way to teach him a lesson.

Qi Hao made a move, casually drawing a domain gate, which took him and that Great Sage back to the Supreme Holy Land.

The matter of the so-called mysterious powerhouse's inheritance is not yet over. Although one of the two culprits has been dealt with, there are indeed some opportunities there. Originally intended as bait, the person behind it has now been suppressed, and those baits have naturally become ownerless, and are being frantically fought over by a group of geniuses.

Although Qi Hao wasn't there, he could guess the current mood of the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

"I wonder if that guy will still oppose me. This time, we've already lost one of the Great Sages..." Qi Hao pondered.

However, the next moment, his aura fluctuated again, and he leaped from the initial stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm to the fourth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"No, what's going on with the main body?" Qi Hao frowned and began to conceal his cultivation level.

In the Central Plains, within the Dragon's Lair and Dragon Pool, Wang Teng opened his eyes with a hint of confusion.
