Chapter 2292  Councilor! (2)

”Ah, so youʼre Councilor Wang Teng. Iʼve heard a lot about you,” Pearsonʼs facial muscles twitched slightly as he spoke casually to Wang Tengʼs 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.

”Youʼre 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 Iʼve 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, youʼll 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 canʼt reveal too much,” Hengzang Chuan snorted lightly and said, ”But youʼre a cosmos-stage martial warrior. If you want to enter, we wonʼt stop you. Please feel free.”

”Well then, since itʼs such a timely encounter, Iʼll take a look inside. If I happen to gain some opportunities, donʼt 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.”

The warning from Hengzang Chuan made everyone feel a sense of urgency. They couldnʼt afford to be complacent. Being trapped for a thousand years was not something these young martial warriors could accept.

”Remember, you all have only one month. If you donʼt 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, wonʼt be able to do anything about it either. So, if someone fails to come out, donʼt blame me for not warning you.”

The warning from Hengzang Chuan made everyone feel a sense of urgency. They couldnʼt 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!” Sheʼer took the lead and patted the shoulder of the young man beside him.

”Donʼt keep urging me! Itʼs 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!” Sheʼer felt a bit awkward and shouted toward the dimensional rift, ”If your gains this time canʼt 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 Fortressʼs prodigy, renowned in the universe for assassination. It seems heʼs 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 couldnʼt help but discuss. So far, few had seen the appearance of the Shadow Fortressʼs prodigy clearly, and within the Five Burial Ancestral Land, he would undoubtedly have a significant advantage.

”Interesting!” A mysterious golden light flashed in Wang Tengʼs 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 Yanʼs eyes flickered with a fighting spirit.

”The Shadow Fortress has always been elusive. If we clash head-on, itʼs hard to say whoʼs stronger. However, if he hides in the shadows, we might not be his match.” Hengzang Moʼs voice turned serious.

”After entering the Five Burial Ancestral Land, be cautious. Donʼt fall into his schemes.” Yunzang Xiao warned.

”All right, letʼs go.”

Yizang Xinnuo and the others looked around and prepared to move.

Wang Tengʼs original body, disguised as Han Zhu, followed behind them and entered the dimensional rift.

Meanwhile, the Wang Teng who had just arrived was his clone. After everyone entered the dimensional rift, he smiled faintly and walked leisurely toward the rift. Unlike others, he seemed completely indifferent to the so-called opportunities in the Five Burial Ancestral Land.

When Hengzang Chuan and the others saw this, the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch.

Wang Teng, the councilor, seemed quite unpredictable.

Could he truly be indifferent to the opportunities in the Five Burial Ancestral Land?

Was this the extravagance of the prodigies from the Stellar Academies?

Wang Tengʼs clone calmly stepped into the dimensional rift, disappearing from everyoneʼs view.

”Family Head Hengzang, who exactly is this Wang Teng? How is he able to become a councilor at the cosmos stage?” The plump man from the Golden Peak City asked curiously.

”He is a student from the Stellar Academies. We donʼt know any more details.” Hengzang Chuan replied.

”To achieve the position of a councilor with cosmos-stage strength, he must have extraordinary qualities,” Said Bi Chunrou.

”Have you all noticed? Councilor Wang Teng and the young man from the Black Skull Universe Pirates are alike. We canʼt see through them.” Suddenly, Duke Yaheng spoke.

The eminent figures from various factions were slightly stunned. They wore thoughtful expressions on their faces.

”Hehe, it seems that the competition for opportunities in the Five Burial Ancestral Land will be quite exciting!” Pearsonʼs gaze swept over the five family heads and the fire-element universe-stage martial warrior of the Black Skull Universe Pirates.

”I wonder who will be the biggest winner in this competition? Iʼm quite curious about that Councilor Wang Teng!” Duke Yaheng said indifferently.

”As the prodigy of the White Night Universe Pirate, Zuo Gu is definitely the strongest. As for that councilor and the little guy from Black Skull, they will have to step aside.” Sheʼer spoke casually.

Everyone was speechless.

This guy sure dared to speak.

The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior of the Black Skull Universe Pirates frowned, casting a cold gaze at Sheʼer. How dared he insult the lord? He must be seeking death.

However, for the sake of his lordʼs opportunities, he could only endure for now.

”What are you looking at? If youʼre not convinced, come and fight.” Sheʼer roared.

The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior of the Black Skull Universe Pirates gave him a cold glance, too lazy to waste words. Then, he sat cross-legged on the top of a Black Skull Universe Pirates battleship and closed his eyes.

Others from the major forces exchanged uncertain glances, surprised by the opponentʼs reaction. They speculated on the Black Skull Universe Piratesʼ motives.

Naturally, they sensed that the other partyʼs motives were not simple.

Hengzang Chuan, Yizang Bai, and the others quietly looked at each other. They sat cross-legged above the five planets of the Five Burial Stars and closed their eyes, entering a meditative state.

”Hmph!” Pearson chuckled, indifferent to the situation, and returned to his battleship.

Duke Yaheng, the plump figure from the Golden Peak City, Bi Chunrou from the Azure Sky Island, and others disappeared into the void. For the next month, there was nothing they could do but wait.
