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

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised.

Because the Eight Views Palace is under the control of Yin Tiande.

He didn't expect to face off against Yin Tiande so soon.

In his original guess and prediction, it would take some time before he could confront Yin Tiande.

After all, he hadn't made many moves in the Ziwei Star Region, nor had he provoked any major sects or holy lands, so he shouldn't have been very famous.

But he really didn't expect that Yin Tiande would notice him now, and even send a Taoist boy to invite him over.

“Yes, my master is the master of the Eight Views Palace, and he wishes to invite you to the Eight Views Palace to discuss the Dao with him,” the boy said with a smile.

Although he verbally extended an invitation, his eyes held an arrogant air, which he did not conceal even when facing Wang Teng.

Wang Teng had a faint smile on his face.

It's true that you need to get out and about more often.

Back in the Eastern Wilderness, he had never seen anyone so arrogant, daring to show such haughty expressions in front of him. But after arriving in the Ziwei Star Region, even a mere Daoist disciple dared to put on airs in front of him.

Not only that, Wang Teng even felt like he was being "hunted down" here.

No one here knew Wang Teng's reputation or his true strength, so they simply treated him as a prodigy with an extraordinary background and some real ability.

Not only did those behind the scenes who wanted to kill Wang Teng think this way, but even the Daoist disciple of Yin Tiande, the master of the Eight Views Palace, thought the same way.

When facing Wang Teng, Yin Tiande's Taoist disciple was somewhat arrogant, with obvious pride in his eyes, as if he didn't take Wang Teng seriously.

And he seemed to have the confidence to back it up. When he revealed his family background, those who had been following Wang Teng from afar, looking for an opportunity to hunt him down, changed their expressions drastically and immediately left without looking back.

It seems that the name Hachikage-gyo is a nightmare for all of them, and this power is one they cannot afford to offend.

"Since you invited me to visit, why doesn't your host come himself?" Wang Teng asked with a light laugh.

Given his current status, there's no need for him to be harsh on a mere Taoist disciple.

If a young Taoist priest is petty and calculating, regardless of the outcome, then it is indeed very disgraceful.

If this gets back to the Eastern Wilderness, those old acquaintances there might be surprised and incredulous.

"You? You sent my master to personally invite you?" Upon hearing this, the young Taoist looked at Wang Teng with surprise and disbelief in his eyes, as if he had heard something unimaginable.

“Isn’t that right?” Wang Teng retorted. “At the very least, they should have written an invitation and sent it by a disciple, instead of sending a mere novice. What’s the difference between that and summoning me directly?”

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the young Taoist's face twisted in displeasure.

"I wonder how many people wish to discuss the Dao with my master. Since my master has taken the initiative to invite you, I urge you to set off immediately, so as not to disappoint my master's kindness," the young Daoist said with a light snort.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh softly.

He has already given the other party a chance, so why are there always people eager to seek death?
"How far is the Eight Views Palace from here? How long did it take you to get here?" Wang Teng asked.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the young Taoist revealed an even more arrogant smile.

In his view, the young man in front of him had given in and, under the pressure of the Lord of the Eight Views Palace, had finally chosen to compromise and was willing to go to the Eight Views Palace with him.

"This place is tens of millions of miles away from the Eight Views Palace, but there is a domain gate nearby. If I use the domain gate, it will only take me two hours at most to return to the Eight Views Palace!"

When he said this, the young Taoist priest had a strong sense of pride on his face.

Although he was merely a Daoist disciple with a relatively low cultivation level, only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, he was backed by the Eight Scenery Palace, whose master was the renowned Lord of the Eight Scenery Palace. Even the most powerful forces treated his master with utmost respect, which elevated his status as a Daoist disciple.

Therefore, even though it is tens of millions of miles away, he can still freely borrow a route from other major sects as long as he speaks, and he can return to the Eight Views Palace in just two hours.

"Two hours is too short, I'll give you three hours," Wang Teng said calmly.

He stretched out a hand and gently pressed it down in the air.

The young Taoist was stunned for a moment, and didn't react at first.

But in a daze, he seemed to hear a mournful dragon's roar.

The next moment, his spine suddenly broke!
The dragon's momentum was abruptly cut off!
He was originally in the Dragon Transformation Realm, but now his cultivation level has been forcibly reduced, and he has fallen directly from the Dragon Transformation Realm!
Moreover, not only that, his cultivation level continued to decline, and he soon fell directly to the late stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"You only have three hours. If you can't get back, you will never see your master again," Wang Teng said calmly.

"No!" the young Taoist priest screamed in agony, his eyes filled with resentment and despair.

His Dao foundation had been destroyed, and his life force was rapidly draining away. He knew that what the young man before him said was true; he probably only had about three hours left to live!
Without any further hesitation, he immediately erected a divine bridge and flew recklessly into the distance, hoping to use the domain gates of other sects to return to the Eight Views Palace and ask his master to extend his life.

Watching the other person's hasty departure, Wang Teng remained calm.

He was too lazy to bother with a mere Taoist boy, but that didn't mean that a mere Taoist boy could take advantage of him and repeatedly display his so-called arrogance in front of him.

Seeing Wang Teng's decisiveness, Yan Ruyu smiled.

Sure enough, Wang Teng is still the same Wang Teng.

In dealing with people and handling affairs, Wang Teng has always emphasized harmonious relationships.

However, once the other party crosses Wang Teng's bottom line or provokes his anger, Wang Teng will not waste any words and will directly take action to suppress the other party.

Take that young Taoist boy for example. He was just a lowly servant boy, running errands to convey messages for his master, but he was arrogant and defiant, even when facing someone more powerful than his master. He wanted to use his so-called arrogance to overpower Wang Teng.

Yan Ruyu was already furious shortly after the young Taoist boy opened his mouth. She almost couldn't resist the urge to subdue the arrogant boy, but Wang Teng secretly stopped her, wanting to see what kind of trouble the boy was up to.

And this little Taoist boy did not disappoint Wang Teng. Despite being just a errand boy, he became unruly because of his connection with the Eight Views Palace, and even regarded the summons of the Palace Master of the Eight Views Palace as the highest honor.

It's hard to evaluate.

All I can say is that he's lost his mind.

However, his fate was worthy of his arrogance.

Within three hours at most, this young Taoist boy will completely lose all his life force.

No matter what means are used, they cannot save him. This is a forbidden technique from the ancient forbidden land. Only the birth of an ancient emperor can slow down the rate at which his life force is lost. Otherwise, even the intervention of an unparalleled quasi-emperor cannot change the outcome.

"Alright, let's not let unimportant people affect our mood. Let's keep going," Wang Teng chuckled.

He could sense Yan Ruyu's anger just now. If he hadn't secretly intervened, Yan Ruyu might have already killed the little Taoist boy.

But it's not worth getting angry over a mere little Taoist boy.

It's still more comfortable to do it this way.

the other side.

Feeling his life force rapidly draining away, the young Taoist priest panicked and fled madly towards the direction of the Eight Views Palace.

Upon seeing the young Taoist boy return, the major sects that had been granted passage thought something had happened. They even stopped the boy to inquire what had occurred, offering to help him.

"Get out of my way! Don't block my way back!" the young Taoist priest roared, his eyes filled with madness and fear.

Upon hearing the young Taoist's words, the others instinctively made way for him. Even the leader of this great sect, a powerful figure at the second level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, made way for him, though his eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction.

Before he could even show it, the young Taoist had already stepped onto the domain gate, leaving behind a massive amount of treasures before opening the gate and continuing his escape towards the Eight Trigrams Palace.

"What's wrong with this person?" someone asked.

Some of them were old acquaintances of this young Taoist boy. Although the boy's strength was only average, he was backed by the powerful Eight Views Palace, so even powerful figures would generally treat him with respect.

It was precisely because of this that the young Taoist boy always maintained his composure, and even when facing powerful figures, he acted like a true peerless genius, never showing any emotion.

This was the first time they had ever seen the young Taoist boy flee so frantically.

"What happened? How could this person escape so quickly?"

"I don't know, and I haven't heard of anyone daring to cause trouble for the Eight Views Palace recently!"

"But this guy is used to being arrogant and domineering. Maybe he offended someone he can't afford to offend, which is why he turned out like this?"

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment before speaking.

Although they were intimidated by the majesty of the Eight Views Palace, they had long harbored resentment towards this young Taoist novice. Now, seeing the young Taoist novice transformed into what he is today, they were secretly delighted.
"Export everything! Are the affairs of those powerful figures in the Eight Views Palace something we can discuss?" the sect leader said coldly.

He looked at the now-extinguished domain gate, recalling the outburst of the young Daoist just moments before.

The opponent was clearly not injured, but his aura was weak, and he was running away very quickly.

The fact that even the Daoist disciples of the Eight Trigrams Palace were so fearful meant that one of them was far more powerful than they could have imagined. There was even a strong possibility that they would still attack the Daoist disciple even after knowing that he came from the Eight Trigrams Palace. One thing was certain: they definitely couldn't afford to offend that being!
Neither the Eight Views Palace nor the powerful figure who attacked the Eight Views Palace disciple could afford to offend them, so all they could do was keep quiet and pretend nothing had happened.

"Could things be about to descend into chaos..." The sect leader looked up into the distance, his eyes filled with worry.

As the Daoist boy stepped out of the domain gate, he could clearly feel that much of his life force had been lost. Compared to before, he was now like a dying ember in the wind. Although he had not yet been extinguished, he might collapse outside at any moment.

"No... I can't fall... I have to go back to my master! He will definitely be able to save me!" The little Taoist boy struggled to build the divine bridge again and flew unsteadily into the distance.

His current strength has fallen to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and compared to before, his speed is now too slow!

At this rate, he might not even have a chance to return to the sect; he might lose all his life force halfway there!

Fortunately, this place is not far from the Eight Views Palace, and the creatures active here all know him as the little Taoist boy of the Eight Views Palace, so even from a distance, some people saw him in a very bad state.

"Young friend, what's wrong with you?" someone stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Send me back to the Eight Views Palace! Send me back to my master!" The young Taoist boy struggled to reach out his hand and said.

The others' expressions changed upon seeing this. They had lived near the Eight Views Palace for so long, and this was the first time they had ever seen someone from the Eight Views Palace injured so badly. Although he was just a young Taoist disciple, no one dared to underestimate him.

Even a junior Taoist priest comes from the Eight Views Palace, and he needs to be admired by others in other places. His words can more or less represent the will of the Lord of the Eight Views Palace, and there are even many powerful figures in the outside world who are eager to become sworn brothers with him.

But no one expected that the young Taoist disciple, who was of extraordinary status and strength in the outside world, would stumble back, his cultivation seemingly having been diminished.

The cultivation level that was originally at the Dragon Transformation Realm now seems to be only at the Dao Palace Realm. Not only that, but the other party's life force also seems to be almost gone, like an old man in his twilight years, who may perish at any moment.

"Stop talking nonsense and get me to the Eight Views Palace right now!" the young Taoist priest shouted hoarsely.

If this continues, his cultivation will truly reach its limit!

Not only that, but his life force may also disappear completely, at which point he will perish completely!
Seeing this, the others did not hesitate and immediately led the young Taoist to the Eight Views Palace.

Although the young Taoist boy still displayed an arrogant attitude, as if he looked down on everyone, no one cared about such things at this moment.

Upon arriving at the Eight Views Palace, the young Taoist priest restrained the others from entering and instead climbed in himself.

As soon as he crawled into the Eight Views Palace, he began to wail, his voice filled with misery, "Master! That Wang Teng not only disobeyed your orders, but also attacked me! Luckily I...I...save me..." (End of Chapter)
