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

Chapter 48 The Ji Family Siblings: A Reappearance of Traditional Arts

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the Ji family elder hesitated for a moment.

"We are here...training our troops..." The Supreme Elder of the Ji family found an excuse.

Although they couldn't keep their attack on the demon race a secret this time, they still didn't want others to know about it before everything happened.

“Training troops… alright. Actually, I have long admired the Ji family of the Eastern Wilderness and would like to see the demeanor of the younger generation of the Ji family. I wonder if the seniors of the Ji family can grant this junior’s request?” Wang Teng spoke sincerely and earnestly, his face full of sincerity.

Faced with such a simple and honest gaze, most people would probably agree.

However, those who can become elders of ancient clans are not ordinary people. In addition to sufficient strength, their background and interpersonal skills are far beyond those of ordinary people.

"That's probably not appropriate. The Ji family never announces their military training to the public." The Ji family elder shook his head, rejecting Wang Teng's request.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng sighed and was about to leave when he noticed the surrounding void trembling.

He immediately turned his head to look at the place where the ripples were appearing in the void.

"Hmm? The Dao Palace Secret Realm was actually able to foresee my arrival?"

A young voice came from inside.

The man in purple robes fluttered as he pierced through the void, transcending the mundane world like a god descending to earth. His eyes shone like stars, illuminating the desolate ancient battlefield.

He stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in mid-air, his bright eyes fixed on Wang Teng.

"The successor of the Void Emperor, are you the legendary divine body of the Ji family?" Wang Teng looked at Ji Haoyue with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

He also had a deep impression of this person.

His signature purple robes, his sister complex, his high-class demeanor in the early stages, always one step ahead of Ye Fan, the Holy Body, and his ambition to seize the Demon Emperor's weapon in the Four Extremes Secret Realm alone, make him a veritable young emperor of the Eastern Wilderness!

However, things got complicated in the later stages.

The title of "son-in-law of the gods" alone is not enough to make a proper judgment.

“Exactly.” Ji Haoyue nodded.

He stood in mid-air, his name reflecting his appearance, dressed in purple, like a moon in the sky.

He had cultivated the Great Void Technique to an extremely profound level. He stood there, seemingly merging with the void even without making any movement, his surroundings blurred, as if he could merge into the void at any moment.

"So it really is the Ji family's divine body! I've long admired your name, and seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation!" Wang Teng's face showed admiration, and he praised without reservation.

“You are the heir of the Wang family of Beiyuan. I have heard of you. You are very strong. At such a young age, you have had many opportunities. You are undoubtedly the number one young person in Beiyuan. Moreover, you have led the reform of the younger generation of the Wang family and are respected by them.” Ji Haoyue said.

While Wang Teng was observing him, he was also paying attention to Wang Teng.

He was equally curious about this prodigy from the Northern Plains.

The fact that a descendant of the Northern Plains royal family traveled across half the continent to the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness is something to be curious about.

"It's all just boasting from our contemporaries. The Northern Plains are vast but sparsely populated and lack resources, far inferior to the fertile and talented Eastern Wilderness. That's why they spread so many rumors in order to make the talents of both places equally famous," Wang Teng said modestly.

Just like when she introduced herself to Yao Guang Sheng Zi, she still denied those rumors.

"Since you're here, then come and see how my Ji family trains its troops," Ji Haoyue said.

The moment these words were spoken, the Ji family elders standing nearby changed their expressions.

"Haoyue, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" he transmitted his voice.

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Even if he leaves, the news of what happened here will get out sooner or later. Besides, if the Holy Son of Yaoguang can befriend him, why can’t I?” Ji Haoyue transmitted her voice, her short words filled with strong confidence.

“Since Brother Ji has invited me, I will gladly accept. I have always held the legendary Ji family, an ancient and powerful clan, in high esteem, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet any of their prodigies before,” Wang Teng said with delight.

Sure enough, Ji Haoyue was just as confident and arrogant in her youth. A gap was opened in the great formation, and Wang Teng and Ji Haoyue stepped inside together.

"Isn't this supposed to be a military training exercise? Why haven't I seen any Ji family disciples?" Wang Teng asked.

There were very few people in the formation, only Ji Haoyue and another young girl, and a few old men with white hair and beards.

When those old guys saw Wang Teng, their eyes gleamed, and they stared at him for a long time.

When Ji Haoyue took the initiative to introduce them, the old men finally looked away.

Instead, the girl in purple skipped and hopped up behind Ji Haoyue, looking Wang Teng up and down.

"The Northern Plains Royal Family? Isn't that located north of the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, almost an entire part of the Eastern Wilderness away from us? How did you end up here?" the girl asked, her voice clear and melodious, like pearls colliding and ringing.

When she spoke, her bright, large eyes blinked, full of spirit.

"I've heard that the Eastern Wilderness is a land of outstanding people and abundant talents, so I wanted to travel here to find out the difference between myself and the true top geniuses, so as to improve myself and strive to go further," Wang Teng said humbly.

When facing Ji Ziyue, Wang Teng remained humble while maintaining a subtle distance.

Just kidding, how did Wang Teng die in the original novel?

They're coming to propose marriage!
Then he got hit with a coffin lid.

Although I met Ji Ziyue first in this life, who knows if there are any messy karmic entanglements involved? I might end up getting slapped after all the preparations I made.

Anyway, the world of Shrouding the Heavens is so vast, with countless goddesses, saintesses, and ancient princesses. Even the mother of the Heavenly Emperor's son still retains her charm. It's not too late to make a move when there's someone truly suitable and attractive in the future.

"Can you beat my brother?" Ji Ziyue suddenly asked.

Wang Teng was taken aback. Good heavens, the traditional skills are starting right now?

The Little Moon of the Ji family has always dreamed of suppressing the Big Moon!

"Ziyue!" Ji Haoyue said in a low voice, stopping Ji Ziyue.

He and Wang Teng had only known each other for a short time. Could he say these things in front of outsiders?
“Brother Ji is incredibly powerful. As a divine body, his cultivation level is a whole realm higher than mine. No matter what methods he uses, I cannot defeat him,” Wang Teng said earnestly.

That's true.

Although he possesses sacred and imperial weapons, he is limited by his strength and cannot unleash their true power; moreover, he cannot use the imperial weapons.

If Ji Haoyue suppressed her cultivation level to fight him, Wang Teng would be 70-80% confident that he could easily defeat her. However, if there was a difference of one major cultivation level, even the Sea of ​​Wheels phenomenon would be difficult to deal with, not to mention the killing moves and forbidden techniques recorded in the Emperor's Scripture, which could only be used by those at the lowest level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

If the difference in realms were truly a major factor in the battle, Wang Teng's chances of winning would be slim, especially considering that the gap between the Four Extremes Secret Realm and the Dao Palace Secret Realm is almost transformative.

He is very self-aware.

Ji Ziyue's big eyes darted around, and she was about to speak when Ji Haoyue interrupted her.

"We're here!" Ji Haoyue said.

In the distance, a group of creatures of various shapes and sizes slithered about.

Although they were very careful, they were still completely exposed in the face of the Ji family's grand formation.

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
