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

Chapter 60 The Furious Yao Guang Holy Land
"Huh? What did they do?" Wang Teng asked.

He knew that Duan De had done something in the tomb that enraged the powerful figures of the Yao Guang Holy Land to the point of breaking their defenses, almost causing the Yao Guang Holy Land's tomb mountain to collapse.

If it weren't for Duan De's loyalty and his decision to take Wu Liang away at the crucial moment, Wang Teng's Dao Palace deity would probably have been shattered, and he wouldn't have been able to participate in many subsequent events.

"This... I only heard about it, and the source of the information is not the Yao Guang Holy Land, so it may not be true," Ji Haoyue said after thinking for a moment.

"It is said that the unscrupulous Taoist priest went deep into the tomb mountain of the Yao Guang Holy Land and devoured the corpses of many Supreme Elders of the Sendai Secret Realm. Even the corpses of powerful beings could not escape his clutches!"

A few days ago, when a powerful figure from the Yao Guang Holy Land went to pay respects to his elders as usual, he saw his grandfather's body sitting on the edge of the coffin, with one arm resting on his knee, his elbow supporting his chin, and his head bowed, as if deep in thought.

This powerful figure, raised by his grandfather, didn't even have time to investigate. Overjoyed, believing his grandfather wasn't truly dead, his life force surged, and he successfully revived. He jumped over, hugged the corpse's legs, and wailed uncontrollably.

Ji Haoyue said simply.

Wang Teng listened with great interest.

To be honest, even though it was bad things done by myself and others, it had a unique flavor when told by others.

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family, who was standing to the side, clearly knew about this as well, and was trying his best to suppress his laughter.

Wang Teng thought to himself, "Don't laugh, the Ji family won't escape either."

"And then what? How did the powerful figures of the Yao Guang Holy Land determine that it was the immoral Taoist who did it?" Wang Teng continued to ask.

"Because the unscrupulous Taoist left a message in the coffin, saying that he had been there and that Kai was searching for the truth of history. Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't have attracted that powerful figure from the Yao Guang Holy Land to chase him for thousands of miles," Ji Haoyue continued.

"The key point is that while that powerful being was weeping over the corpse of his elder, that unscrupulous Taoist was hiding nearby, attacking the corpse of another former Holy Lord, even tearing off his belt... Tell me, how could the powerful being from the Yao Guang Holy Land not be angry when he saw this?" Ji Haoyue said.

Wang Teng put himself in the shoes of an observer, and sure enough, even the bystanders were angry.

"How did these things get out?" Wang Teng asked.

Normally, such a thing would be a disgrace to the holy land families, and they would rather keep it buried inside than publicize it.

“It definitely didn’t come from the Yao Guang Holy Land,” Ji Haoyue said. “It was that powerful figure from the Yao Guang Holy Land who was chasing down the immoral Taoist. The Taoist was so outspoken that he spread the story in a major city in the Southern Region, saying that the Yao Guang Holy Land was indeed a holy land, even the belts for the corpse were made of the finest materials. Now, the powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land are furious.”

Wang Teng wanted to laugh, but considering that they were at the Ji family's residence, he held back his laughter.

"So, the Yao Guang Holy Land is in a pretty bad situation," Wang Teng said against his will.

These were all things he and Duan De did; even the shape of that powerful corpse was arranged by him.

There was no real harm done, but it was extremely insulting.

The powerful figure from the Yao Guang Holy Land is now acting like a madman, relentlessly pursuing Duan De throughout the Southern Region.

Faced with such a powerful pursuer, Duan De was at his wit's end. He even considered leaving the Southern Region to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

At crucial moments, it was the second brother who spoke up and offered reasonable suggestions.

“I don’t think there’s any need to leave the Southern Region. Brother, have you ever heard the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place?” said the tall, thin monk Wu Liang.

So the two of them set up array patterns, bypassed the powerful beings of Yao Guang Holy Land, and returned to the tomb mountain of Yao Guang Holy Land... Wang Teng stayed at the Ji family for a period of time.

He hadn't expected that his powerful ancestor would stay in the Ji family for so long.

But coincidentally, he ended up staying there.

Ji Haoyue had been eager to spar with Wang Teng, but the Ji family's Supreme Elder kept a close eye on them and refused to let them fight, so Ji Haoyue had no choice but to give up.

However, the Ji family has more than just Ji Haoyue as a genius. Ji Haoyue is just the most dazzling one because he has a divine body. The others are equally strong, after all, they are the pride of ancient families.

Therefore, besides Ji Haoyue, there are others who want to challenge Wang Teng.

“Ji Haiyue…” Wang Teng pondered the name, feeling that it sounded somewhat familiar.

He seems to have made a brief appearance in the original work. He is a cousin of Ji Haoyue and has decent talent, though he is somewhat inferior to the divine body.

“Yes, my cousin wants to challenge you, and he asked me to ask you, Brother Wang, if it’s convenient?” Ji Haoyue asked.

These past few days, he's been busy sending people to search for Ji Ziyue and entertaining Wang Teng, so he hasn't had time to discuss Dao with Wang Teng or figure out Wang Teng's strength. Now that someone has taken the initiative to speak up, Ji Haoyue is naturally more than happy to accept.

“Alright, let’s do it today then.” Wang Teng smiled nonchalantly.

He was also eager to test his abilities.

The sparring match between Wang Teng and Ji Haiyue was not made public to the rest of the Ji family. Apart from the two main characters, only a few of the Ji family's elders and Ji Haoyue were openly watching the battle.

As for the secret operations, the head of the Ji family and the powerful patriarch of the Wang family both made their appearances.

"That kid Wang Teng is really strong. I've heard about what happened to him before and after the Heavenly Tribulation. I didn't expect him to survive even against a powerful being." The Ji family patriarch was hidden in the void, his figure obscured, but his gaze pierced through layers of void as he watched Wang Teng.

"It was just luck. If it weren't for the strange phenomenon in the Sea of ​​Wheels, Teng'er would probably be nothing but bones by now." The powerful ancestor of the Wang family shook his head and said calmly.

He shared the same idea as Wang Teng: to keep a low profile and avoid attracting more attention.

During this trip to the Ji family, the Ji family's Holy Lord seemed to have made a decision, inviting several powerful figures from the Ji family to greet the powerful ancestor of the Wang family. Each of them released their aura to prove that they had not made a move that day.

Of course, this doesn't really prove whether or not someone took action; everyone has their own methods outside of their family.

However, at least the Ji family showed their attitude, and the powerful patriarch of the Wang family readily accepted it. He didn't mention the attack too much, but instead expressed his gratitude to the Ji family's Supreme Elder for shielding him from the attack and for giving him medicine. The two chatted happily and watched Wang Teng's sparring match with the younger generation of the Ji family.

"Haiyue's talent ranks among the top three of the younger generation of the Ji family. She entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm at a young age. Even among the younger generation of the Eastern Wilderness, she is undoubtedly a prodigy," said the head of the Ji family.

If it weren't for the emergence of a divine body and Ji Ziyue among the younger generation of the Ji family, the strongest among the younger generation would probably still be Ji Haiyue.

"Then Teng'er is in trouble." The powerful patriarch of the Wang family sighed.

It would be terrible if I accidentally killed him...

Below, the competition is about to begin.
