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

Chapter 374 The Courtesy of the Great Xia Dynasty

The Great Xia Dynasty treated them with the utmost courtesy!

A golden divine rainbow stretched across most of the imperial city, extending from the palace and landing in front of Wang Teng.

Wang Teng smiled upon seeing this.

Indeed, once you have the ability, you will be respected everywhere.

And as long as you have a little bit of social skills, you will be treated with courtesy wherever you are.

At the very least, you'll never be attacked with a coffin again!

In the imperial city, a group of cultivators looked up in surprise, wondering who had arrived and why the people in the palace were treating them with such great respect and high honors.

"Could it be that a powerful imperial uncle from another dynasty has arrived?"

"Is the leader of one of the Hundred Schools of Thought visiting?"

"Or is it the king of which dynasty who is visiting?"

A group of people below speculated about which powerful figure had descended to elicit such a courteous reception from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Only true powerhouses deserve such treatment!

Just as they were all speculating, they looked up and saw the powerful figure walking above the divine rainbow.

"A young man?"

"Is this some kind of royal uncle who specially preserved the appearance of someone in their youth?"

"Is there such a person among the powerful and influential figures in the Central Continent?"

The group of cultivators below exclaimed in shock.

They were still speculating about who this person was who could receive such treatment from the Great Xia Dynasty, but when they saw the person above the divine rainbow, they were filled with surprise, because they had never seen this person before.

At this moment, someone who had participated in the battle for the Dragon Marrow in the underground palace recognized Wang Teng.

"It's Wang Teng! The Northern Emperor Wang Teng from the Northern Plains!"

"Yes! That's him! The one who was making waves in the Eastern Wilderness before, came to the Central State some time ago to compete with others for the top-grade Dragon Marrow, and crushed everyone in a battle against those of the same cultivation level!"

"Oh, it was him. Oh, then it's alright!"

At first, the group was a little surprised, but when they heard that the person was Wang Teng, they were no longer so surprised.

There are so many legends about Wang Teng that they have spread from the Eastern Wilderness to the Central State, and not long ago Wang Teng proved with his strength that those legends were not false.

Therefore, Wang Teng's momentum in Zhongzhou was unparalleled for a time. Most of Zhongzhou had heard of Wang Teng's legend, especially his crushing defeat of all opponents in the underground palace when they were at the same level. Even powerful beings and Dao-Slaying Kings at the same level could not defeat Wang Teng.

When they saw Wang Teng now, they were naturally shocked.

Besides those who were shocked, there were also some people who were not so happy.

"No way! Is Wang Teng some kind of persistent ghost?! How come he follows us everywhere we go?"

Inside an inn, a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth was very dissatisfied, and he even broke the chopsticks in his hand.

"Young Master, calm down, don't be impulsive, and don't reveal your identity!" An old man opposite him hurriedly reminded the young man.

"I know what I'm doing! This time I will definitely not show up in front of Wang Teng, and I won't give him a chance to expose my identity!" Xia Jiuyou snorted.

Above the divine rainbow, Wang Teng sensed a familiar aura. He looked down and used his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to observe, and sure enough, he saw an old acquaintance.

"Hmm? We meet again?" Wang Teng's expression was somewhat strange.

It's quite interesting that he's only been to a few places in Zhongzhou, yet this is already the third time he's encountered Xia Jiuyou.

However, judging from Xia Jiuyou's behavior, it seemed that the other party did not like him very much, so Wang Teng did not go down to say hello and went away directly.

Across from Xia Jiuyou, the protector secretly wiped away a cold sweat, wondering how Wang Teng's strength had increased so much again.
He clearly felt that gaze just now; he knew that Wang Teng had noticed them from the Divine Rainbow and cast his gaze upon them, but Xia Jiuyou opposite him did not react at all.

That means Wang Teng's strength has improved significantly!

The protector glanced cautiously at Xia Jiuyou and, finding that the young lady was still dissatisfied, could only smile bitterly to himself.

At this moment, he was once again grateful that they did not have any major grudges with Wang Teng. Otherwise, if Wang Teng wanted to harm his young lady, even he might not have been able to stop him.

"It seems it's time to take a break. I'll go back and tell the master to find someone else to protect the young lady; I can't keep up any longer..."

Xia Jiuyou's protector sighed inwardly.

He originally thought that with his powerful level, he could protect the young lady well, but who would have thought that now there are Dao-Slaying Kings appearing!

Wasn't it agreed that it would be difficult for Dao-Slaying Kings to appear in the current era? How come they encounter Dao-Slaying Kings so often?
It's one thing to encounter a few in the Eastern Wilderness, since they are all from ancient families and holy lands. But how come in the Central Plains, you can encounter a Dao-Slaying King and a powerful person with the combat strength of a Dao-Slaying King in an underground palace?

If things continue like this, how could a mere powerful figure like him possibly protect his young lady?

Not to mention that the strength of the current generation of young people is more and more outrageous. Wang Teng is about to reach the Sendai Secret Realm. When Wang Teng truly reaches the Sendai Secret Realm, considering that he was able to touch the Eight Forbidden Zones when he was in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, he will probably be able to deal with powerful beings when he truly reaches the Sendai Secret Realm.

"It would be safer to bring out a Dao-Slaying King to protect the young master..."

This powerful being sighed inwardly.

Before venturing out, he thought that powerful beings should be considered strong people traveling outside, but now he realizes that the outside world is far too dangerous.

Wang Teng was unaware of the thoughts of Xia Jiuyou's protector below; otherwise, he would have definitely reminded the other party to put their mind at ease.

It's not that the external situation is too complicated; it's just that the other party keeps encountering me.

Because if you just think back, you'll know that Wang Teng is always present in any scene where a Dao-Slaying King appears.

Even among the Dao-Slaying Kings who appeared in the Eastern Wilderness, there was one who was a Dao-Slaying King from their Northern Plains royal family.

Needless to say, when they arrived in Zhongzhou, that old man with the gap-toothed appearance who had become a Dao-Slaying King even fought with Wang Teng.

Where else and at what other time could there be a case of a Dao-slaying King?

After passing Xia Jiuyou and his protectors, Wang Teng continued forward on the divine rainbow.

The capital of the Great Xia Dynasty is very large. After all, it is one of the major dynasties in the Central Plains. It was once ruled by an ancient emperor, so its prestige is naturally considerable.

It is merely an imperial city, yet it is comparable to some of the sacred sites in the Eastern Wilderness.

When Wang Teng arrived at the Great Xia Imperial Palace following the divine rainbow, he found that someone was already waiting to greet him.

The first to be affected were several old acquaintances.

The Great Xia Prince Xia Yiming, his sister the little nun Xia Yilin, the Great Xia Imperial Uncle whom they had met a few times, and the Ice Princess whom they had met recently.

Besides them, there were other people, men and women, young and old, dressed smartly, and their behavior was generous and proper, suggesting that they were of high status.

"Brother Wang, it's been a long time! You're still as dashing as ever!" Even though they were still some distance apart, Xia Yiming greeted Wang Teng warmly and took the initiative to go forward to welcome him.

Among the younger generation, very few could receive such treatment from a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Even when the most favored prince of the Nine Li Dynasty came to visit, Xia Yiming had no interest in greeting him.

It was only because Wang Teng was powerful and had a good personality that Xia Yiming had the idea of ​​befriending him.

"Brother Xia!" Wang Teng greeted him with a smile.

He has always been the type to repay kindness with kindness, so he naturally reciprocated Xia Yiming's courtesy.

Xia Yiming smiled broadly, knowing that Wang Teng would respond with the same enthusiasm.

He enthusiastically led Wang Teng to the Great Xia Imperial Palace and introduced the people in front of him to Wang Teng.

"This is my younger sister, Xia Yilin. You've met her before, so I won't go into details."

"And this is my thirty-sixth uncle. He once went to the Eastern Wilderness with me and even shared a drink with your Wang family's powerful ancestor. You should remember him."

"This is my elder sister, Xia Yibing. You should have met her before. She was there during our trip to the underground palace a while ago, and she even said she ran into you."

"These belong to our Great Xia Dynasty..."

Xia Yiming enthusiastically introduced the person next to Wang Teng.

Among these people, some were people Wang Teng already knew, and some were people he had never met before.

But regardless of whether they knew each other or not, this group of people showed great enthusiasm, and were very enthusiastic when facing Wang Teng.

"Yilin, it's been a long time. You seem to have become even more Buddhist."

"Senior Xia, it's been a long time. You are even more impressive than before. You have great potential to break through the Dao and will surely become the king of Zhongzhou one day."

"Princess Xia, I apologize for any offense I may have caused in the underground palace the other day."

……

Wang Teng greeted everyone with a smile.

For him, it was no big deal, but a few words could bring great emotional value to others, so why not?

Didn't you see how happy those people on the other side were?

The Great Xia Imperial Uncle's face was beaming with smiles, the little nun Xia Yilin also smiled, and even the Great Xia Princess Xia Yibing, who was always cold and aloof, nodded slightly and smiled.

It's only because Ye Fan isn't here that he's convinced Wang Teng is indeed a social succubus, welcomed by a crowd wherever she goes.

"Brother Wang, please!" Xia Yiming was also very happy.

Wang Teng's enthusiasm, in some ways, can be seen as a sign that he is willing to befriend the Great Xia Dynasty and values ​​their personal relationship.

You could even say that Wang Teng did this to give him a lot of face.

Along the way, Xia Yiming introduced the history of the Great Xia Dynasty and the origins of these palaces and mansions.

Wang Teng listened attentively, providing ample emotional support.

They were very in sync throughout the journey.

Even though the Great Xia Imperial Uncle and the Great Xia Princess had personally experienced the journey to the underground palace, neither of them mentioned the bronze dragon nor the blessings left by the Great Xia Dynasty's predecessor, as if nothing had ever happened.

Since none of the parties involved mentioned this matter, it's even less likely that others would spread rumors.

When they arrived at a certain hall in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Wang Teng saw the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised that his visit had actually alarmed the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
First came the royal uncles, princes, and princesses to greet them, and now the emperor himself is waiting for them!

If this were in the Eastern Wilderness, it would be like going to the Ji family, where Ji Haoyue, Ji Ziyue, and the Ji family patriarch's younger brother would greet you. Then, as soon as you enter the Ji family, you'd look up and see the Ji family's Holy Lord waiting for you there...

For the younger generation, this is already the highest level of courtesy.

At this moment, the others who had come to greet Wang Teng had already left, leaving only the three princes and princesses, Xia Yiming, Xia Yilin, and Xia Yibing, as well as the Great Xia Imperial Uncle, still by Wang Teng's side.

"Junior Wang Teng greets Your Majesty, Senior."

Wang Teng spoke, offering a junior's salute to the burly man on the throne.

"I have long admired your reputation, my nephew, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved!"

A deep voice rang in Wang Teng's ears, and the burly man on the throne actually stepped down, came to Wang Teng's side, and personally helped Wang Teng up.

"Come, sit down." The Great Xia Emperor personally pulled Wang Teng to the first chair next to the throne and asked him to sit down.

Wang Teng remained neither humble nor arrogant, and sat down directly.

"How is Brother Chen?" the Emperor of Great Xia asked.

The "Brother Chen" he mentioned was Wang Teng's previous protector, named Wang Chen. He was a powerful figure in the Wang family who had traveled to the Eastern Wilderness and Central Continent in his youth, leaving behind a considerable reputation and having connections with many powerful individuals.

“Chen Zu is in good health and is currently overseeing the Wang family and protecting the Wang family's Hall of Justice,” Wang Teng said.

"The Hall of Justice... I've heard of it before. You have great courage and dare to reform, eliminating the corrupt elements within the Wang family. This is a courage that many Saint Lords don't possess. Those little fellows who followed you seem to have left the Wang family recently. News has come from the Eastern Wilderness that someone claiming to be a member of the Wang family's Hall of Justice has defeated a candidate Saint Son from the Yao Guang Holy Land."

The Emperor of Great Xia spoke, his voice filled with appreciation.

"Senior, you flatter me. I was just a young and fearless person back then, thinking I could control the Wang family. In reality, without the support of the seniors of the Wang family, there are many things I wouldn't have been able to do at all. As for those people from the Gongdao Hall, I sent them out to gain experience." Wang Teng said humbly.

"Hahaha, if my juniors could have half of your abilities, I would be satisfied."

The Emperor of Great Xia couldn't help but sigh softly.

Next, he chatted with Wang Teng for a while, but it was just simple casual conversation and didn't involve anything about cultivation.

"During this time, my dear nephew, please enjoy your trip in the Great Xia Dynasty. Yiming and the others will take good care of you."

Finally, the Emperor of Great Xia invited Wang Teng to stay in the Great Xia Dynasty for a period of time.

Before the Great Xia Emperor left, Wang Teng suddenly called out to him, "Senior!"

The Emperor of Great Xia turned around and looked at Wang Teng.

“I have deciphered the secrets behind the Bronze Dragon and found a dragon's lair containing some special dragon marrow that will be of great use to me. Consider this a favor I owe the Great Xia Dynasty. If the Great Xia Dynasty needs me in the future, I will lend a hand! The favor I owe Brother Yiming will not be forgotten,” Wang Teng said.

He dared to say such things, so naturally he wasn't afraid of being targeted by the Great Xia Dynasty here. He had the strength and confidence that if the Great Xia Dynasty was against him, they could escape instantly.

He wanted to see the attitude of the Great Xia Dynasty in order to decide how he would treat it.

"You're too kind, my dear nephew. Treasures belong to those who are destined to possess them. This item is destined for you, my dear nephew, so it will naturally belong to you." The Emperor of Great Xia chuckled and turned to leave.
