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

Chapter 40 The Holy Son of Yao Guang: This Child Has a Black Heart

"A grand event?" Wang Teng asked.

"Yes, it's a grand event, and figures from Zhongzhou will be attending," said the Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Wang Teng suddenly came to his senses.

What kind of grand event is this? It's just exploring an ancient forbidden land, why make it all so mysterious?

If I'm not mistaken, many people will die this time, including the so-called royal uncle from the ancient dynasty who came from Zhongzhou.

"Will you also be attending this grand event, senior?" Wang Teng suddenly asked.

“Of course, I will fight for the Holy Land. This time, there is a great chance of success. If you are interested in cooperating, you can also contact the Wang family. We can act as guarantors and allow the Wang family to participate in this grand event.” The elder of Yaoguang Holy Land said enthusiastically, wanting to bring the Wang family along as well.

The Wang family is, after all, the largest family in the Northern Plains. Although the Ancient Forbidden Land is in the Eastern Wilderness, powerful figures from outside the Eastern Wilderness have also descended this time. Some ancient dynasties in the Central Plains have also sent powerful figures, intending to participate in this grand event.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if we bring Beiyuan along. The power and mystery of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Back then, a powerful holy land launched a full-scale attack on the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and not a single one of them came out alive.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng thought for a moment and quickly eliminated people from the Wang family, finding that it seemed no one had ever provoked him.

So he shook his head regretfully.

"Let's forget about it. The Northern Plains are too barren, and the Wang family is far too weak compared to the holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness. We'd better not get involved in this." Wang Teng politely declined the invitation from the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

No one in the Wang family has ever offended him, so there's no need to lure people over from afar to kill them.

Even Wang Fei's father has been unusually well-behaved during this period.

Wang Teng didn't care whether others were faking it or not. Even if they were faking it, as long as they could keep up the act for a lifetime, they deserved praise and encouragement.

"Alright." The Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land said with some regret.

If they could manage to entice a few experts from the Sendai Secret Realm into the Wang family's clutches, their mission would be much more successful.

"By the way, where is your protector, young friend? Now that you have come to the Yao Guang Holy Land, we should take care of your protector," the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land continued.

The descendants of the Beiyuan royal family have all arrived, so how could they not have protectors accompanying them?
However, they really couldn't find where the other was, which is very illogical.

“The Great Ancestor has gone to visit a friend. Before he left, he told me that he was at ease knowing I was a guest in the Yao Guang Holy Land,” Wang Teng said earnestly.

In fact, ever since he accidentally stepped into the broken array pattern, Wang Teng had never thought of that powerful ancestor again.

However, Wang Teng was not worried. He knew he had something to protect himself, and even if a powerful figure attacked him, he could hold out until the powerful ancestor came to his rescue.

So there's nothing to panic about.

"A powerful protector..." A group of elders and supreme elders from the Yao Guang Holy Land were somewhat shocked.

This is a standard scale of protection, featuring holy sons from sacred sites and heirs from prominent families!
Even if a divine being were to emerge, it would be at most this size!
The Holy Son of Yaoguang also glanced at Wang Teng a few more times.

The powerful protector he received was even better than the treatment he received in the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Therefore, the Holy Son of Yao Guang no longer believed this guy's claims about low combat strength and lack of fortuitous encounters. If he were truly someone without any extraordinary experiences, would the Wang family really send a powerful protector to protect him?
Even the Holy Son of Yaoguang wanted to laugh!
"Well then, since the fellow Daoists from the Wang family are not nearby, we will not disturb them any longer," the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land said regretfully.

In the following days, Wang Teng stayed temporarily at the Yao Guang Holy Land, where he would occasionally sit and discuss the Dao with the Yao Guang Holy Son.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang also subtly inquired several times about what kind of opportunity Wang Teng had obtained that made so many people in Beiyuan admire him so much.

Wang Teng has lived two lives. In his previous life, when he was the heir to a conglomerate, he had seen too many of these kinds of tricks. How could he be easily fooled?

"In the end, it's all just others' boasting. If I really had the kind of opportunity they described, why would I need a powerful protector?" Wang Teng said with a light laugh, his voice as bright as the sun, not at all inferior to the Yao Guang Holy Son opposite him.

No matter how Yao Guang Shengzi speculated or tested him, Wang Teng always insisted that everything was an exaggeration by others and that those rumors were completely unfounded.

“But Brother Wang clearly obtained an opportunity in the Fire Domain and is able to use a domain similar to the Fire Domain. I saw this with my own eyes,” Yao Guang Holy Son said at the end.

"It's quite a coincidence... I've only ever mastered this one technique. So many powerful individuals have forged their weapons in the Fire Domain, inscribed countless Dao patterns, and condensed a power rarely seen outside the world. But I'm just dull-witted and unable to comprehend those more profound things," Wang Teng sighed and said.

"If Brother Yaoguang were to go, he would definitely be able to comprehend even more, perhaps even the patterns that a great sage inscribed on the artifact," Wang Teng continued, praising Yaoguang the Holy Son.

For a fleeting moment, Yao Guang Sheng Zi's smile froze.

He can no longer communicate with this guy!
Every time this guy opens his mouth, he says he's all talk and no action, and then he doesn't forget to flatter him.

Even the Holy Son of Yaoguang was afraid that if they talked for too long, he would really be led astray!

The problem is that when the two of them are sparring at the same level, they can only use a few techniques and are evenly matched. If it were a real life-or-death battle, no one would know what the outcome would be!

Fortunately, apart from this exchange, the two of them had no problem communicating on other issues.

For example, when they are having a serious discussion, the two people can still communicate normally.

During this process, Yao Guang Shengzi was also exceptionally serious. He discovered that although Wang Teng was exceptionally humble, to the point of being somewhat ruthless, Wang Teng's insights in discussing the Dao could provide him with a lot of inspiration.

"The rumors are true, and they may even be somewhat restrained. This child's opportunities are unimaginable!" The Holy Son of Yao Guang's eyes were deep.

Some time later, the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land arrived.

"The grand event is about to begin. People from other holy lands and aristocratic families have arrived, and the most crucial person has been found," said the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"Will Brother Yaoguang come with me?" Wang Teng asked.

If I remember correctly, in the original novel, neither the Holy Son of Yaoguang nor the Great Moon of the Ji family appeared at this provincial capital, so Wang Teng asked a question.

If the Holy Son of Yaoguang doesn't go, then he'll find an opportunity to leave the Yaoguang Holy Land and secretly go see it himself.

He didn't want to be the only one among the younger generation to go and join the fun.

"The Holy Son will also be there, as will the heirs of other holy lands and aristocratic families. However, they will not show themselves; they will simply watch from the shadows," said the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land.
