Translator. Henyee Translations Editor. Henyee Translations
“Ah, so you’re Councilor Wang Teng. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Pearson’s facial muscles twitched slightly as he spoke casually to Wang Teng’s clone.
As a universe-stage martial warrior, Wang Teng, despite being a councilor from the Academy Arbitration Association, had no authority over him, and Pearson saw no need to show respect to the councilor.
Moreover, as universe pirates, they held little reverence for the Stellar
Academies.
“Councilor Wang Teng is indeed remarkable at such a young age!” Bi Chunrou appraised Wang Teng with a friendly smile.
“You’re too kind!” Wang Teng replied with a smile.
“Did Senator Wang Teng just arrive on the Five Burial Stars?” Duke Yaheng of
the Longlapa Empire approached from a distance, inquiring.
“Exactly,” Wang Teng nodded and looked around. “It seems I’ve arrived just in
time to witness something interesting.”
“The ancestral land of the Five Burial Families is open today, and any cosmos-stage martial warrior can enter to seek opportunities,” Duke Yaheng explained with a smile, glancing at Hengzang Chuan.
“Oh?” Wang Teng pretended to be surprised and asked, “This ancestral land is crucial to the five major families. Why would they allow outsiders to enter?”
“Well, you’ll have to ask the heads of the five families for that.” Bi Chunrou chuckled.
“Family Head Hengzang, would you mind enlightening me?” Wang Teng looked
at Hengzang Chuan and asked with a smile.
“Councilor Wang Teng, this is a private matter. I can’t reveal too much,”
Hengzang Chuan snorted lightly and said, “But you’re a cosmos-stage martial warrior. If you want to enter, we won’t stop you. Please feel free.
“Well then, since it’s such a timely encounter, I’ll take a look inside. If I happen to gain some opportunities, don’t be stingy with your generosity,” Wang Teng said nonchalantly.
“If you have the ability to obtain something, we will not be stingy,” Hengzang Chuan responded curtly, not wanting to engage in more discussion. “Now that everyone is here, those who wish to enter our Five Burial Ancestral Land, please proceed.”
“Remember, you all have only one month. If you don’t come out within that time, the spatial entrance to the ancestral land will forcefully close, and no one will be able to reopen it. We, the five families, won’t be able to do anything about it either. So, if someone fails to come out, don’t blame me for not
warning you.”
The warning from Hengzang Chuan made everyone feel a sense of urgency. They couldn’t afford to be complacent. Being trapped for a thousand years was not something these young martial warriors could accept.
“All right! Proceed, everyone!” Hengzang Chuan scanned the surroundings with
his gaze and announced.
“Zuo Gu, go ahead!” She’er took the lead and patted the shoulder of the young man beside him.
“Don’t keep urging me! It’s annoying!” Zuo Gu retorted with some irritation. Without further delay, he transformed into a stream of light, rushing toward the central dimensional rift within the hexagram. In an instant, he disappeared
into it.
“This kid!” She’er felt a bit awkward and shouted toward the dimensional rift,
“If your gains this time can’t surpass others, be prepared for the
consequences.”
Unfortunately, there was no response.
People around glanced over, their eyes showing different meanings—some disdain, some unwillingness, some indifference…
In the next moment, the sound of breaking air echoed, and figures hurriedly rushed toward the dimensional rift. No one wanted to fall behind others.
The young man from the Black Skull Universe Pirates, who was beside the fire-element universe-stage martial warrior, glanced at Wang Teng, then instantly vanished from his original position, entering the dimensional rift with a speed that shocked onlookers.
The remaining outstanding talents from various forces displayed expressions
of shock and they turned serious.
“Hmm?” Wang Teng raised an eyebrow, his face showing a hint of interest. The strength of this young man seemed remarkable. He wondered how he compared to him.
At this moment, a shadow shot out from the ancient warship of the Shadow Fortress. Before anyone could see his appearance clearly, he disappeared into the dimensional rift.
“Is that the prodigy from the Shadow Fortress?” The crowd murmured in surprise.
“It seems so!”
“Such incredible speed, truly worthy of the Shadow Fortress’s prodigy, renowned in the universe for assassination. It seems he’s not to be underestimated.”
“In this competition for the Five Burial Ancestral Land, the prodigy from the Shadow Fortress is undoubtedly a powerful contender. His gains might be the greatest.”
Many couldn’t help but discuss. So far, few had seen the appearance of the Shadow Fortress’s prodigy clearly, and within the Five Burial Ancestral Land, he would undoubtedly have a significant advantage.
“Interesting!” A mysterious golden light flashed in Wang Teng’s eyes, and a faint smile curled his lips.
“The prodigy from the Shadow Fortress might be quite formidable!” The solemn voice of Yizang Xinnuo echoed.
“The more formidable, the better. The Heishan Royal Clan now has one more opponent.” Yunzang Xiao sneered.
“I just wonder, compared to that Shadow Fortress prodigy, who is stronger?” Guizang Yan’s eyes flickered with a fighting spirit.
“The Shadow Fortress has always been elusive. If we clash head-on, it’s hard to say who’s stronger. However, if he hides in the shadows, we might not be his match.” Hengzang Mo’s voice turned serious.
