On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

After a moment, Wang Chang'an slowly spoke: "Teng'er, let's put these things aside for now! You are now the only hope for our Wang family! How are things going with you in the Holy Land?"

Wang Teng smiled proudly: "Grandpa, I am twenty-seven years old this year, and I am a first-level Martial Venerable."

"Even the Holy Son didn't achieve what I have back then! The elders have high hopes for me."

"Furthermore, there is a Supreme Elder who also intends to take me as his disciple!"

Wang Chang'an's aged eyes lit up: "There's another Supreme Elder?"

"Yes."

Wang Teng said proudly, "It was that same Supreme Elder who encouraged me before I went into seclusion!"

"Wang Teng has the potential to become a sage ruler!"

"Really?"

Wang Chang'an was completely excited!

The aura of a holy ruler! That's too high a compliment!

If the Wang family can produce a wise ruler, they will soar to great heights and achieve great success.

Wang Teng smiled and nodded: "Grandpa, so you can rest assured that I will take care of the future of the Wang family."

"That Ye Fan? He's just an agent chosen by the Penglai Holy Land, a mere chicken and dog! Once the Penglai Holy Land has finished using him, he'll be doomed sooner or later! As for my grandson, his future stage is to compete with all the holy sons."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Wang Chang'an stood up excitedly and said "good" three times in a row.

He took out a key and a jade talisman.

"Teng'er, this key can open the treasure vault! This jade talisman is a token. Go to the treasure vault yourself, and you can take whatever resources you want!"

Wang Teng's breathing quickened, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

The Royal Treasury.

The entire wealth accumulated by the Wang family over thousands of years! Grandpa actually allowed him to take it at will! This represents the utmost trust and expectation!

Wang Teng took the key and jade talisman, turned around and strode away.

Ye Fan followed silently.

Deep within the ancestral land of the Wang family, a towering iron gate, entirely cast from black iron, stands. The gate is over ten zhang high and incredibly thick, with defensive runes carved on it; it is the entrance to the Wang family's treasure vault.

Two elderly men sat cross-legged in front of the door, their auras unfathomable.

"A martial saint?"

Ye Fan was shocked.

The aura of these two is comparable to that of the Killing King Martial Saint of the Heavenly Killing Organization!

"As expected of the head of the five ancient clans of Zhongzhou, they even have a Martial Saint overseeing them! It seems I underestimated the true strength behind the Wang family."

"Wang Teng, what brings you here?"

One of the one-armed elderly men spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.

Facing the Martial Saint Ancestor, Wang Teng dared not be presumptuous and quickly explained, "Two Ancestors, I have come to the treasure vault to retrieve some items on my grandfather's orders."

"An order from Chang'an?"

The two men remained expressionless.

As the head of the family, Wang Chang'an was not objected to by the two men: "Where are the things?"

Wang Teng respectfully took out a key and handed over the jade talisman.

The two old men took the jade talisman, probed it with their divine senses, and after confirming that it was correct, they looked at each other and nodded.

"The items are fine."

The two men stood up at the same time, each taking out an antique-looking key and inserting it into the lock holes on either side of the black iron gate.

Wang Teng inserted the key into the middle keyhole.

All three keys were turned together.

"Click-click-click—!"

A metallic scraping sound rang out, and the black iron gate slowly opened.

The one-armed old man said, "Go in!"

"Thank you both, esteemed ancestors!"

Wang Teng took a deep breath and stepped into the treasure vault.

Two elderly men stepped out and stood guard on either side of the treasure vault's entrance.

An unnoticed phantom passed directly between the two without any fluctuation of its aura.

……

Inside the treasure vault.

"Mysterious Essence Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill, Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pill..."

"Blood Ginseng! Dragon Essence Fruit! Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk!"

Wang Teng's eyes burned with desire; these things were extremely precious even in the Star Moon Holy Land.

Go further in.

Spirit stones were piled up like mountains, and there was also a large pile of golden spirit stones, which, unlike the transparent spirit stones, contained even more powerful energy.

"Could it be a top-grade spirit stone?"

This was the first time Ye Fan had ever seen a top-grade spirit stone; he never expected it to be in the royal family's treasury.

"As expected of the leader of the five ancient clans of Zhongzhou, their foundation is truly terrifying."

Wang Teng selected several kinds of pills and took away two blood ginseng plants.

Let's delve deeper into the treasure trove!

A black meteorite, the size of a human head, flashing with lightning!

A sword, its scabbard ancient and simple, with its sharp edge subtly revealed, is stuck on a stone platform!

There was also a bottle of blood sealed in a special jade bottle, which turned out to be dragon blood! There were about thirty drops in total.

"If I had all of these things, I could reach the Martial Saint realm within thirty years!"

Wang Teng's eyes were filled with fanaticism; he only took five drops of dragon blood and dared not take more.

Ye Fan, who was invisible, chuckled, "Then I won't be polite!"

After Wang Teng finished making his selections, he turned and left, completely unaware that the pills, spirit stones, medicinal herbs, and weapons behind him were disappearing one by one.

"My two patriarchs, I have made my choice."

After circling around, Wang Teng walked out of the treasure vault.

The one-armed old man nodded, turned around, and went into the treasure vault to inspect it.

Just a few breaths later, a furious roar came from inside the treasure vault: "Wang Teng! You're too greedy!"

Another elderly man with a long face was taken aback: "What's going on?"

The one-armed old man rushed out, trembling with rage: "Wang Teng! Take anything you need from the treasure vault, I have no objection!"

"But you are also a member of the royal family, the hope for the future of the royal family. How could you empty the entire royal family's treasury?"

"Some things are completely useless to you! Are you a glutton?"

"What?"

Wang Teng was completely dumbfounded: "Ancestor, are you kidding me? I only took three things!"

"fart!"

The one-armed old man, his hair bristling with rage, pointed towards the treasure vault door: "Go in and see for yourself! The treasure vault... the treasure vault is empty! The Wang family's millennia-old heritage has been completely drained by you alone!"

"Hand it over! Hand it over to me!"

Another old man with a horse-like face rushed into the treasure vault.

When he emerged, his face was ashen, his reaction even stronger than the one-armed old man's: "Wang Teng! You're too greedy!"

"Wang Chang'an, get over here! Look what you've done! Is your grandson a Taotie?"

He roared to the sky, his voice echoing throughout the entire ancestral land of the Wang family.

The commotion quickly alerted the Wang family's senior management.

Wang Chang'an, Wang Lie, Wang Lei, Wang Zhong, and more than a hundred other high-ranking members of the Wang family, along with their younger generations, all rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

When they saw the empty treasure vault, they were all stunned.

"Teng'er, what's going on?" Wang Chang'an asked in astonishment.

Wang Teng was speechless for a moment: "Grandpa! I really only took three kinds of pills! And five drops of dragon blood!"

"I haven't touched anything else!"

"Nonsense!"

An elder of the Wang family angrily retorted, "The treasure vault is guarded by two Martial Saint Ancestors. Who else but you could have entered? If you didn't take it, did the treasure grow legs and run away?"

"Wang Teng! You're too greedy! The patriarch allowed you to take whatever you wanted because he trusts you, not because he wants you to empty the entire Wang family!"

"Do you even care about your family? You're trying to destroy the foundation of the Wang family!"

"Heh, Wang Teng has the makings of a Holy Lord. He's going to be a Holy Lord someday, so he'll definitely devour our families! Why would he care about our lives?"

Some of the younger generation who were jealous of Wang Teng made no attempt to hide their sneers.

"Shut the fuck up!"

Wang Teng was completely enraged.

He stepped forward and landed in front of the young man who had spoken.

Raise your hand and strike!

boom--!

The man's head exploded with a loud bang.

Upon witnessing this, everyone was utterly enraged: "Wang Teng, you emptied the Wang family's treasury and dared to kill your own cousin?!"

"Wang Teng, I think you've gone mad!"

Several elderly men cried out in anguish, "Are you going to kill us too?"

Wang Teng clenched his fists, his anger almost clouding his judgment, but he quickly regained his senses.

He knew perfectly well that he hadn't taken it!

Since I didn't take it and the treasure vault is empty, there's only one possibility left!

"wrong!"

Wang Teng suddenly looked up: "A ghost! A ghost has entered the house!"

"When I went in, there were definitely other people who followed me in!"
