Chapter 1602 Sending women and treasures! Month

 The way everyone in the Five Burial Family looked at Wang Teng completely changed.

They seemed to understand what Wang Teng meant.

You have to be low-key and honest, otherwise you will be in trouble.

That old monster Hui was just too arrogant and offended the people he shouldn't have offended, which was why he ended up with such bad consequences.

That was an immortal-level venerable being. Even he couldn't protect the fleet of the Black Skull Star Thieves. This shows how strong the opponent is.

Although they didn't know whether the old monster Hui died in the end, looking at the scene, they knew that an extremely terrifying and powerful man took action. Even if he didn't die, he definitely didn't get any benefits.

This is a lesson learned from the past!

Although the Five Burial Clan is not weak, it is not much stronger than the Black Skull Starry Sky Thieves. Even one old monster Hui is enough to destroy the Five Burial Clan.

If such a being takes action against the Five Burial Family, the Five Burial Family will definitely disappear completely.

The Five Burials family, which had just experienced a death crisis, was now like a frightened bird, extremely cautious, for fear of provoking something unprovoked again.

So when Wang Teng said those words, they couldn't help but think more about it.

What's more, what Wang Teng said was too easy for people to misunderstand, as if he was warning them.

terrible!

There is definitely an unimaginable strong person behind Wang Teng, and he even has an incomparably huge force as his backing. Otherwise, how could he easily destroy a fleet of the Black Skull Star Thieves Group?

Congressman Wang Teng is really like this. With such a background, why didn't he say it earlier? If he had said it earlier, why would they have trouble with him?

It is much better to have such an ally than such an enemy.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that with the talent and talents of Senator Wang Teng, if he grows up smoothly, he will definitely be able to stand at the top in the future.

The forces behind him naturally want to cultivate him well and let him grow in adversity, instead of cultivating him like a flower in a greenhouse. Naturally, he cannot expose his existence at will.

Heng Zang Bo and other ancestors of the Wu Zang family seemed to have discovered Hua Dian, and they looked at each other without any trace, and quickly communicated through the sound transmission.

All in all, the Five Burials family must not offend Councilor Wang Teng.

Soon, they reached a consensus.

Then Heng Zang Bo spoke again: "Congressman Wang Teng is right, it's better to be low-key as a person. Our Wu Zang family is very low-key and will never cause trouble everywhere. This is the way to long-term development."

Gui Burian Ling, the ancestor of the Gui Burian family, looked at the family heads of the Heng Burian River next to him and reminded him sternly: "You must take good care of the younger members of the family, don't let them cause trouble outside, and don't make enemies with other people. Make more friends."

My friend, if there is any disobedient junior, I will take him back, break his legs, imprison him, and let him face the wall and think about his mistakes."

"Yes!" Hengzianchuan and the others did not dare to disobey their ancestors in any way, and immediately nodded honestly.

When Heng Burian Mo, Gui Burian Yan and others heard the words of the ancestor of the Gui Burian family, the muscles on their faces suddenly twitched.

They feel like it's talking about them.

As the genius of the Five Burials family, they have always been used to being arrogant and arrogant. Why would they ever want to behave with their tail between their legs?

But now listening to the opinions of several ancestors, it is clear that they should not cause trouble and be patient at all times.

How is this low-key? You are just pretending to be a grandson!

The younger generation of talented warriors present could not help but look at Wang Teng, their eyes filled with resentment.

But then they understood their ancestor's intention and were secretly shocked.

Could it be that the fleet of the Black Skull Star Thieves Group was really destroyed by the forces behind Councilor Wang Teng?

"Did you all hear that?" Yi Zianzhao, the ancestor of the Yi Zian family, glared at Heng Zianmo and the others and said.

"I heard it." Hengzianmo and others' faces straightened up, they immediately put away their resentful expressions, and nodded quickly.

"..." Wang Teng.

"..." Round and round.

The two of them suddenly felt that something was wrong!

Especially Wang Teng, he just said it casually, why do you feel that these immortal ancestors of the Five Burial Family attach great importance to it?

Could it be that he was frightened by the invasion of the Montenegrin royal family?

Probably!

Wang Teng and Yuan Gungun looked at each other. They obviously thought of something and nodded secretly.

It was hard for him to interrupt when people were teaching his children and grandchildren a lesson. At this time, he could only watch from the side with a smile.

But this look made Heng Zianmo, Gui Zianyan and others even more jealous.

How abominable!

As the instigator, he is still there to gloat over his misfortune, and his character is too bad.

Yi Zianxinnuo was also a little speechless. This big brother Wang Teng was really funny, actually watching their jokes from the sidelines.

"Congressman Wang Teng, as the supervisor of our younger generation of warriors from the Five Burial Stars, these little bastards will be handed over to you from now on. Whenever they do something bad, you should teach them a lesson. We will never have any objections."

, it will be bad luck for them if they are beaten to death." Heng Zang Bo said with a dry cough.

"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! You won't be beaten to death, but you will be taught a lesson at most. I have a sense of propriety." Wang Teng's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't expect that the Five Burial Family would actually take the initiative to bring up this matter, playing right into his hands.

Having these ancestors of the Five Burials family speak in person is equivalent to having a gold medal command arrow, and the younger generation of warriors from the Five Burials Star dare not say anything.

Although the strength he displayed has suffocated the younger generation of warriors of the Five Burial Stars and they no longer dare to compete with him, the words spoken by the Five Burial Ancestors themselves are completely different.

Sure enough, after hearing Heng Zangbo's words, Heng Zangmo and others' expressions changed, and their hearts felt bitter.

What do you mean, if they are beaten to death, it will be bad luck for them!

Is this what the elders said? It’s so heartbreaking.

And Wang Teng, does he really want to beat them?

This person is too dangerous.

"This time I came to the Five Burial Stars on the order of the Academy Arbitration Committee. The main purpose is to communicate with the younger generation of talented warriors from the Five Burial Stars. There is no other intention. You don't need to be too nervous." Wang Teng looked at Heng Zhan.

Mo and the others said with a smile.

"Believe me!" Heng Zianmo and others did not believe what Wang Teng said at all. They complained in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on the surface. They all had expressions of "We will cooperate well."

After all, the ancestors were still watching eagerly from the sidelines. It is estimated that once they refuted or showed the slightest expression of displeasure, the ancestors would get angry directly. They could not withstand the anger of the ancestors.

Hengzhan Bo and others did not mention the Black Skull Starry Sky Thieves Group again. In their opinion, that fleet must have been killed by the strong man behind Wang Teng. There was no need to ask any more questions, and they knew it just by looking at Wang Teng's appearance.

He didn't want to say more, and it was useless to ask.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Heng Zangbo gave Yi Zanzhao an unclear look, which actually looked a bit... wretched!

Several other ancestors, as well as the five family heads including Heng Zianchuan, instantly became quiet, and their expressions were indescribably awkward!

Wang Teng can't help but have some suspicion. What do these people do? How can these people look like people.

"Ahem!" Yi Zianzhao coughed dryly and seemed a little embarrassed. This was the first time she had done such a thing in her old age. However, she hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Member Wang Teng, I don't know what you are doing.

...Well, do you have a woman you like?"

"..." Wang Teng was stunned for a moment, staring straight at the kind-faced old woman in front of him, seeming a little frightened.

What is she going to do?

Although he is indeed very handsome, that's not quite the case.

Yi Zianzhao was also stunned by Wang Teng's eyes, and then he seemed to react, his face stiffened, and he became a little angry.

What is this bastard thinking?

She is already quite old, how could she have such thoughts.

Hengzang Bo and the others almost burst out laughing, looking at Yi Zianzhao with a strange expression, and then looked at Wang Teng speechlessly.

Councilor Wang Teng really dares to think.

But any normal person would never think of this.

How amazing is his brain circuitry?

On the other side, the family heads such as Hengzianchuan, Guizhanfeng, Yi Zianbai and others were simply shocked. This kid actually dared to have thoughts about Patriarch Yi Zhan. It was really scary.

Heng Zianmo, Gui Zianyan and others were a little confused. They still didn't know what happened. They didn't know why Yi Zianzhao suddenly asked Wang Teng such a question.

They all have great talents in cultivation, but they are all straight men with a single muscle and cannot turn around.

Several women, including Yi Zhan Xinnuo, Shou Zian Caiyun, and even Gui Zian Zhu, felt their hearts move for a moment, and they all glanced at Wang Teng with slightly red faces.

Could it be that the ancestor...

"Congressman Wang Teng, let me get it straight. I wonder what you think of Yi Zianxinnuo and the others?" Hengzhanbo didn't dare to let Wang Teng think about it any more, for fear of something happening again, so he asked quickly.

.

"What girls are you buried in Xinuo?" Wang Teng reacted immediately.

Let's just say, no matter how unreliable the Wu Zang family is, they won't have that old cow eating young grass thing. It turns out that's why.

"Wang Teng, the Wu Zang family wants to recruit you as their son-in-law, hahaha..." Yuan Gun laughed teasingly.

It feels very interesting. I didn't expect that the Five Burial Family would come up with such a ridiculous trick.

"Go away!" Wang Teng said angrily.

But Yuan Gungun thought of the same place as him. The Wu Zang family probably came here for his talent of [Five Elements Divine Treasure]!

I want to retain the bloodline of the [Five Elements Divine Treasure] by recruiting a son-in-law!

How dare you think about it!

He was inexplicably speechless. If the [Five Elements Divine Treasure] was born so easily, the ancestor of the Five Burials would not have left his five immortal internal organs in that special way to leave a glimmer of hope for future generations.

Already.

The possibility of inheriting the [Five Elements Divine Treasure] through bloodline reproduction is too small and too small to succeed at all.

When Heng Burial Mo, Gui Burial Yan and others heard this, their expressions changed, and they wanted to say something, but when they were stared at by several immortal-level ancestors, they couldn't spit out the words in their throats.

They were all scratching their necks, their faces gradually turning red.

Seeing their ancestor say it so straightforwardly, Yi Zianxinnuo and others' faces turned a little redder, and they suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Gui Burian Zhu is the youngest, innocent and romantic, and can't hide her thoughts, but there is a hint of surprise on her pretty face.

When Gui Burying Yan saw this scene, his face turned dark.

when?

Even his sister fell!

At this moment, Gui Zongyan was ready to kill Wang Teng.

Not only was the woman he loved taken away, but his own sister was also taken away. There was no sister left.

A sense of sadness arose in his heart.

It's too awful!

Gui Burial Yan glared at Wang Teng fiercely, but when he thought of the opponent's strength, he suddenly felt weak again, and was so depressed that he wanted to cry.

Yi Bian Xinnuo and Shou Bian Caiyun also saw Gui Bian Zhu's face, their eyes changed, and their love rivals increased again.

Brother Wang Teng is indeed a big carrot that attracts bees and butterflies.

They didn't even realize when Gui Burian Zhu developed a crush on Wang Teng, so they were caught off guard.

"Hahaha, Xinnuo and the others look a little embarrassed. It seems they have a good impression of you, Councilor Wang Teng." Yi Zianzhao had already adjusted herself. She also knew that it was just a misunderstanding, so she didn't care.

I couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

"Ahem!" Wang Teng couldn't help but glance at Yi Zianxinnuo and the others, and couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

Good guys, why are you looking so shy?

Everyone is just acting for fun, don't take it so seriously.

He didn't believe it at all that Yi Zianxinnuo and others had feelings for him. These women were all looking at his handsome appearance.

Bah, vile!

"Congressman Wang Teng?" Seeing that Wang Teng had not yet opened his mouth, Hengzhan Bo couldn't help but ask again.

"What..." Wang Teng hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Xinnuo is an extremely outstanding woman. Unfortunately, I already have a fiancée, so how dare I have other ideas."

As a good man, he feels that he should seek truth from facts.

He already has a fiancée?!

The complexions of Yi Zianxinnuo and others changed slightly. The rosy color on their faces instantly faded and turned a little pale. Apparently, they did not expect this at all.

However, Heng Zianmo and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly they liked Wang Teng a lot. Fortunately, this guy was not a scumbag.

Now, the ancestors must not mess around with each other.

They were also extremely surprised. They didn't expect that their ancestors would interfere in the feelings of the younger generation. This was not an act of chaos.

Although many big families will enter into marriages, this is not the case for the Five Burials family. In order to ensure that the power of blood does not leak out, they never marry with foreign clans and will only conduct intermarriages between the five major families.

This is the first time that these ancestors are willing to facilitate the affairs between Yi Zianxinnuo and others and Wang Teng.

It seems that Wang Teng's [Five Elements Divine Treasure] talent is indeed highly valued by the family ancestors, and they would not hesitate to break the family's rules for him for many years.

Fortunately, Wang Teng already has a fiancée, otherwise they would be in tragedy and have no chance at all.

You must know that Yi Zhan Xinnuo and others are the most outstanding talents of the younger generation of the Wu Zang family, and others cannot compare with them.

As for Hengzianmo and others, who are also the top geniuses of the Wuzang family, they naturally look down on other ordinary family women.

Even if Yi Zian Xinnuo and others ignored them because of Wang Teng's appearance, and even disliked them, they believed that as long as Wang Teng left, Yi Zhan Xinnuo and others would quickly recognize the reality.

As the geniuses of the Five Burials family, their destiny is to marry each other.

Moreover, the more talented geniuses are, the more they will come together, and the offspring born in this way will be more talented.

As for whether consanguineous marriage will cause genetic defects, it does not exist.

As a warrior, as long as he reaches the planetary level, the children he gives birth to will generally have few genetic defects.

Survival of the fittest!

The same goes for genes.

Therefore, the more powerful a warrior is, the more difficult it is to give birth.

But as long as you successfully give birth to life, there is a high probability that you will give birth to offspring with excellent talents.

This is why many strong people like to wait until they are strong enough before having offspring.

At this time, Heng Zang Bo, Gui Zang Ling and others were also slightly startled when they heard this and looked at each other again.

Not many people know that Wang Teng has a fiancée.

That was his private matter, and few people paid attention to these unimportant matters.

Moreover, the UFO territory is far away from the Liuguang territory where the Daqian Empire is located. In addition, there is a certain information blockade between each territory. It is normal that the Wu Zang family does not know that Wang Teng already has a fiancée.

Several ancestors communicated again, and Yi Zianzhao spoke again: "It's okay to have a fiancée. It's normal for a strong man to have a few more confidants. As long as you have a good impression of each other, that's enough. , we will not interfere with the feelings of you young people."

"..." The expressions of Heng Zianmo and others suddenly stiffened.

Ancestor, you are trying to push Yi Yanxinnuo and the others into the fire pit!

As an elder, how can you let the juniors of your family treat others as juniors? If word spreads, wouldn't their Five Burials family become a joke in the entire UFO territory?

How can you be an elder like this!

Heng Zianmo and others wanted to spit on their ancestors, but they didn't dare. They could only lower their heads and stand behind them like quails.

"..." Wang Teng was also speechless.

What is this? For the [Five Elements Divine Treasure], these ancestors of the Five Burials family have given up their face.

Besides, is he the kind of person who is half-hearted, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot?

Actually underestimated him!

hateful!

After Yi Zianxinnuo and others were stunned for a moment, they didn't think it was anything, because they also understood that some powerful people did have many confidants.

In the universe, this is a common occurrence.

Of course, some strong female warriors will definitely not be able to accept it. Not every woman is willing to share her man with others.

Women have always been very cautious.

Just like the secret confrontation between Yi Zhan Xinnuo and Shou Zang Caiyun.

They never thought about sharing a man with each other.

However, a genius like Wang Teng really makes their hearts beat. If they miss it, it will be a lifelong regret. If they are asked to give up like this, they may not be able to do it.

At this moment, they suddenly wanted to know what kind of person Wang Teng's fiancée was? And what kind of peerless beauty could make this star of Starry Sky Academy half-foot into the "grave" of marriage!

Wang Teng was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Heng Zang Bo and others who were looking at him with smiles, and suddenly felt a little powerless.

These ancestors of the Five Burial Family were trying to control his army. They knew that he had a pretty good relationship with Yi Burian Xinnuo and others, so they told the matter in person. He would definitely not be able to bear to refuse directly, thereby hurting Yi Burian. Bury the hearts of many women.

However, it was a good thing to send a beautiful woman as a gift, so he was not so resistant in his heart.

They are indeed a bunch of old foxes!

He actually discovered his weakness. He is a soft-hearted person.

Yi Zianxinnuo seemed to see Wang Teng's dilemma, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, we are already very good friends with Brother Wang Teng. He has helped us a lot, so don't make fun of him.

, let us solve the affairs of our young people by ourselves."

Yi Zianzhao smiled slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel happy for Hui Zhilan's heart. She spoke at this time, and the timing was just right, so she nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, it's us old guys who are relying on our old age to live up to our old age. Wang

Don’t be offended, Councilor Teng!”

"Seniors, please stop making fun of me." Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief, cast a grateful look at Yi Zianxinnuo, and shook his head with a wry smile.

When everyone saw his appearance, they couldn't help but find it a little funny. They didn't expect that this talented person who dared to fight against even an immortal master would actually feel embarrassed because of such a thing.

They felt that they seemed to have discovered the weakness of Councilor Wang Teng, and they couldn't help but smile secretly in their hearts.

It’s good to have weaknesses!

It seems that their policy is correct, and Yi Zianxinnuo and others should be allowed to continue to have more contact with him.

"In addition, in order to thank Councilor Wang Teng for your help to our Five Burial Stars, we plan to open the Five Burial Stars' treasure house and let you choose three treasures!" Heng Zhan Bo said.

"Let me pick three treasures!" Wang Teng was stunned, not expecting such a good thing.

He had previously agreed with the Five Burial Family that as long as he helped Heng Zianmo and others return safely from the Five Burial Ancestral Land, he would be able to get half of the Five Burial Tokens and a hundred Chaos Coins. The heads of the Five Burial Family have already

Cashed it out and gave it to him.

Now that they are sending treasures again, the Five Burials family thinks that the gifts are not enough.

It seemed that after the previous battle, the Five Burial Stars valued him more than he expected.

"Wang Teng, in order to win over you, the Five Burials family has given away beautiful women and treasures. They are really willing to give up." Yuan Gungun said with emotion.

"I can't help it, I'm too good." Wang Teng shook his head with emotion and said in his heart: "But of course I have to accept this kind of good thing."

"..." Round and round.

"How embarrassing!" Wang Teng ignored it, looked at Heng Zang Bo and other ancestors of the Five Burial Family, and said with some embarrassment: "I actually didn't do anything. As the supervisory councilor of the Five Burial Star,

It is also my duty to help the Five Burial Stars."

"We are really touched that Councilor Wang Teng can say this, but please don't refuse. This is our intention. Please come with us." Hengzianbo and others stood up and said.

"Oh, that's too polite. It's too polite. However, since several seniors said that you don't dare to say goodbye to a gift from an elder, then I will be disrespectful." Wang Teng also stood up and said with a smile.

"Hypocritical!" Heng Zianmo and the others couldn't help complaining in their hearts.

Yi Zianxinnuo and others couldn't help but dumbfounded. Brother Wang Teng, I didn't expect you to be like this.

However, Heng Zang Bo and other ancestors were very happy. Wang Teng was willing to accept their gifts, indicating that he intended to get along well with their Wu Zang family. This was the best thing, and their goal was achieved.

"I wonder what treasures the Five Burials Family has?" Yuan Gungun was a little curious.

"Just take a look and you'll know. Help me control my eyes later. If you encounter any good things, let me know." Wang Teng was also extremely curious and immediately told Yuan Gungudao.

"Okay, keep it on me." Yuan Gungun said with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone took Wang Teng and flew towards the area where the core building of the Five Burial Clan was located.

With their speed, they naturally reached their destination quickly.

They crossed over the numerous buildings and came to a castle-like building in the center and entered it directly.

There were no warriors guarding the castle, but when Wang Teng scanned the surroundings, he saw many powerful force light groups. Judging from the strength of the light, they were at least world lord level beings, and there were more than one.

His eyes moved slightly, and he was a little surprised. The Five Burial Family's background was indeed good, and not all the realm lord-level warriors were dispatched in the previous battle.

Hengzhanbo and others were also secretly observing Wang Teng. When they saw his eyes scanning the surroundings, he paused slightly in several places, they knew that he must have seen something, and they were even more moved in their hearts. This Councilor Wang Teng

As expected, he is not an ordinary person, he can even discover the hiding places of world lord level warriors.

It was no accident that he was able to kill a world lord-level existence!

Heng Zangbo waved his hand, and an extremely heavy door slowly opened with a rumbling sound, and then made a gesture of invitation: "Congressman Wang Teng, please!"

Wang Teng nodded, and as they walked into the door, a dazzling array of treasures suddenly appeared in his eyes. The brilliance of various treasures was so dazzling that it was dazzling.

When I was outside the door, I couldn't see any light at all, but when I walked in, the light immediately appeared in front of my eyes, indicating that there must be runes engraved in this treasure house, which can cover up the breath and light of the treasure.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the surrounding walls, and sure enough he saw many runes on them, and he could tell at a glance that those runes had a concealing effect.

"Congressman Wang Teng is also involved in runes?" Heng Zangbo asked curiously.

"A little dabble." Wang Teng said.

Hengzhanbo and others were a little surprised. From Wang Teng's information, they knew that this councilor Wang Teng was a master of alchemy. They didn't expect that he even dabbled in runes. Could this be the world of genius? I just didn't know his

What about rune attainments?

Seeing that Wang Teng didn't say anything, they didn't ask any more questions. It was enough to know that he was a monster, and the rest was not important.

"All the treasures of my Five Burial Family are here. Councilor Wang Teng can make a good selection, and just let us know when you have made your choice." Hengzhan Bo pointed at the treasures in the treasure house and said with a very generous smile.

"Any three?" Wang Teng asked with slightly bright eyes.

"Not bad!" Heng Zianmo stroked his gray beard and nodded.

It was just three treasures. The Five Burials family had so many treasures. Just three treasures were not enough to make him feel distressed. It was naturally very generous.

"Then I'm not welcome." Wang Teng was a little excited. He just took a quick glance and saw that there are a lot of good things in here. He had to choose carefully. I really feel sorry for the Five Burials family if I didn't choose the best things.

of generosity.

This treasure house was extremely huge and could not be seen to the end. Wang Teng walked inside and walked towards the depths without even looking at the treasures outside.

In just a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared among the heavy shelves.

Hengzhan Bo and others watched his figure disappear and laughed: "Although Senator Wang Teng has a powerful background, he can't resist the temptation of treasures."

"Haha, these are the treasures that our Five Burial Family has collected over the years. Let alone a universe-level warrior, even a Realm Lord-level warrior or even an Immortal-level warrior will be excited when they come in." Shou, the ancestor of the Burial-Shou family.

Zang Tuo smiled extremely proudly.

"That's true." Several other ancestors of the Five Burial Family also laughed very proudly.

Hengzianchuan and others couldn't help but feel a little dazzled when they looked at the treasure in front of them. Even they could rarely enter here. This Wang Teng was really unlucky.

The younger generation of warriors such as Heng Burial Mo and Gui Burial Yan had never been here before. At this time, they were already dazzled and had all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts.

"Ancestors, is it really worth it for us to do this?" Hengzianchuan couldn't help but ask through a message.

"Don't worry about these small benefits in front of you. Senator Wang Teng is definitely worthy of our heavy investment. The destruction of the fleet of the Black Skull Star Thieves must be the work of the strong people behind him. Those strong people are the fault of our Five Burial Family.

If you can't afford it, you will naturally have to win over Councilor Wang Teng, and this is an opportunity. Not to mention his own talent is extremely powerful, and the future is promising. As the helmsmen of the Five Burial Family, you must take a long-term view." Heng Burial.

Bo and others were not so amiable in front of the Hengzianchuan and other family heads. At this time, they spoke calmly with a straight face.

"Yes!" Hengzianchuan and others immediately responded respectfully.

When Heng Zianmo and other young warriors heard this, they felt extremely helpless. The ancestor really valued Wang Teng very much, and they could not stand up.

"I just don't know what kind of treasures he can choose? I am extremely curious about his vision." Yi Zianzhao said.
