Many people nodded after hearing Sinclamonâs words. The empire had strict regulations regarding the inheritance of a noble title. There mustnât be any mistakes.
Cao Hongtu was holding the baronâs title temporarily, but even so, he needed to earn enough merits on the battlefield before he could rightfully inherit it. The empire gave preferential treatment to meritorious people.
The old man nodded. He acknowledged Sinclamonâs words.
Cao Guan was overjoyed when he noticed that the situation was advantageous for him. Arrogance returned to his expression as he glanced at Wang Teng once again.
âWang Teng!â The old man looked at him and asked, âDo you have other items to prove your identity? Or has Baron Nangong left a will?â
Wang Teng frowned. The remains of Nangong Yueâs last spiritual mark had dissipated, and he didnât leave behind any will. Everything was passed to him through Round Ball. Besides the baronâs seal, there was nothing to prove his identity.
This was a little troublesome!
Actually, the baronâs seal was enough to prove his identity. But Sinclamon came from a powerful family, so the head of the council had to acknowledge his suggestion.
Cao Guan laughed silently in his heart, but his gaze remained cold as he glared at Wang Teng.
If he couldnât take out anything to prove his identity, he wouldnât be the rightful inheritor of the baronâs title. At that time, he would find ways to get rid of this young man.
He was just a planetary-stage martial warrior. Any celestial-stage martial warrior would be able to kill him. He must be daydreaming if he wanted to snatch the baronâs title from his father.
âIf you donât have it, your identity canât be confirmed temporarily,â the head of the council said.
Wang Teng felt helpless. This matter was developing beyond his expectations. The interference of the Parkers family caused things to go out of control.
Nangong Yue is making things difficult for me! Wang Teng complained helplessly.
Since he wanted Wang Teng to find justice for him, he should be better prepared. He should have left a will or something. It was better than allowing others to take the initiative.
If Nangong Yue heard Wang Tengâs complaint, he might leap out of the soil.
He thought that Wang Teng would head to the Great Qian Empire after he got stronger, but he didnât expect the duo to act rashly and had the guts to come to the Great Qian Empire to snatch the title of a baron when he was only at the planetary stage.
He underestimated Wang Teng and Round Ballâs bottom line.
âMaster Nangong didnât know that the Parkers family will interfere!â Round Ball spoke up for Nangong Yue. It turned serious and asked in a puzzled tone, âAre they the ones behind Cao Hongtu? But with their status, why would they lay their eyes on a baronâs position?â
âHow would I know? Maybe they have some unknown secret?â Wang Teng shook his head. âThis is not the time to think about this. Quick, find a solution.â
âErm⊠I have no solution,â Round Ball said with guilt.
âSeriously!â Wang Teng wished he could pull Round Ball out and hammer its head. It kept boasting during normal times, but at the crucial moment, it was useless. Wang Teng could only rely on himself. His mind worked frantically. Suddenly, his eyes shone. âOh right, I have the legacy palace. How can I forget about that?â
âNo, if you reveal that you have the legacy palace, the entire empire will learn of it once you step out of this place. At that time, many formidable warriors will lay their eyes on you, putting your life in danger.â Round Ball stopped him hurriedly.
âWhy would they lay their eyes on the legacy of a cosmos-stage martial warrior?â Wang Teng was stunned.
âOf course, they will. Whatâs more, Master Nangongâs legacy isnât just a cosmos-stage martial warriorâs legacy. Itâs the legacy of a baron from the Great Qian Empire. The Nangong Familyâs foundation isnât just at the cosmos stage,â Round Ball explained.
âHowever, thereâs nothing above the cosmos stage in the legacy palace.â Wang Teng frowned.
âYour legacy mark canât open the Nangong Familyâs treasure vault,â Round Ball said calmly.
âWhy didnât you say so earlier?â Wang Teng felt like strangling Round Ball. It was so infuriating. It should have told him earlier!
âYou havenât even reached the cosmos stage, so itâs useless even if I tell you. Whatâs more, the treasure vault is in the Nangong Residence. Since you have not inherited the baronâs title, you canât enter the residence. You canât do anything,â Round Ball refuted.
Wang Teng took a deep breath. He knew that Round Ball was right, but it was still infuriating!
âHead of the council, since he canât prove his identity, this inheritance is just a cock-and-bull story. I think we should expel him from the country. As for the baronâs seal, letâs return it to the rightful owner. My father is the baronâs disciple. He has the right to possess the baronâs seal.â Cao Guanâs voice was heard at this moment.
He wanted to snatch the baronâs seal and expel him from the country.
What a great plan he had!
Wang Tengâs gaze turned cold. He suddenly had the thought of killing Cao Guan.
If he was expelled, they would most likely chase after him and try to kill him. The other party would not allow him to leave this empire alive.
Also, without the baronâs position, he couldnât save Earth. The guardian of the Milky Way, Kloet, would be the first to kill him.
âYou want the baronâs seal?â Wang Teng asked without any expression on his face.
âYou got it because of luck. You have no right to hold that position. My father is the baronâs disciple. Baron Nangong has died, so the baronâs seal rightfully belongs to my father. Iâm just getting whatâs ours back.â Cao Guan snorted. He became confident since there was someone supporting him.
âCao Guan is right. The baronâs seal canât be in the hands of a person with an unknown identity,â Sinclamon said calmly.
âHahahaâŠâ Wang Teng suddenly burst out laughing. âWhat a great example of the seizure by force. Is this how the Great Qian Empire works? Youâve broadened my horizons!â
âHow dare you!â Sinclamon frowned. He shouted, and a powerful pressure surged towards Wang Teng.
Wang Tengâs face turned pale. The ability of a heaven-stage martial warrior wasnât a joke. He might be able to participate in a cosmos-stage martial warriorsâ battle, but there was still a huge difference between them and heaven-stage martial warriors. Just the aura almost forced him to his knees.
Wang Teng glared at his opponent with his eyes wide and roared in his heart. His spiritual power exploded, and the giant dragon in his mind woke up from its hibernation with a loud bellow.
The terrifying pressure above his head was pushed away in an instant. Wang Teng stood up straight and glared at Sinclamon. âHow dare you?
âYouâve got some balls to seize in front of everyone!
âOther people might think that youâre the leader of the Great Qian Empire and you can decide who the noble title belongs to!â
His angry shouts burst out of his mouth and echoed in the great hall.
Everyone was flabbergasted. No one expected Wang Teng to explode in anger and be so firm and stubborn. He dared to shout at a heaven-stage martial warrior!
He honestly didnât go by the book.
Cao Guan stared at Wang Teng as if he was a ghost. His face turned pale. He got frightened by Wang Teng.
âAre⊠are you looking for death!â Round Ball was in disbelief too. It stammered as it spoke.
Was Wang Teng really not afraid of dying?
He dared to shout at a heaven-stage martial warrior. Moreover, this man belonged to a family of dukes, one of the eight dukes in the empire.
Wang Teng was too reckless. He was tempting fate. The Parkers family was a powerful presence. They had no chance of resisting them.
Sinclamon was stunned by Wang Tengâs actions too. No one had dared to treat him like this. His expression turned ugly, and his lips turned a little pale. Anger was burning in his heart.
Wang Tengâs words had touched a tabooâŠ
The leader of the Great Qian Empire!
If this label was pressed on him, the Parkers family wouldnât be able to save him.
âThis is bullshit!â Sinclamon roared angrily. He got up and gritted his teeth. âI have never said that Iâm the leader of the Great Qian Empire. How dare you make such irresponsible remarks and frame me? Do you think I donât dare to kill you?â
âSince you have the intent, why donât you dare to admit it? Didnât you want to snatch my baronâs seal a moment ago? If you donât make the call, who does?
âYet you still want to kill me to shut me up. You must be afraid that someone will discover your ulterior motives!
âCome, why donât you kill me here directly? Why all the trouble? Donât you find it tiring to talk too much?
âCome, kill me! If you donât dare, youâre a coward!
âIf I furrow my brows slightly, Iâll be your grandson!â
Wang Teng wasnât afraid. He glared at Sinclamon and shouted continuously.
The heaven-stage martial warriors around him were stunned by Wang Teng.
This fellow was a genius. He was extremely skilled at twisting oneâs words. Sinclamon looked as if he had just choked on his own words.
Sinclamon turned green with anger. He was honestly seething with fury. Wisps of white steam rose from his head, signifying that he had reached the peak of his anger.
Wang Teng decided to add fuel to the fire when he saw Sinclamonâs reaction. He increased his volume and shouted, âCome! Kill your grandfather!â
Sinclamon couldnât bear it anymore. Killing intent surged in his heart, with flames of anger burning in his eyes. With a swoosh, the temperature around him increased exponentially. A blue flame appeared in front of him and congregated into an arrow. It shot toward Wang Teng directly.
Wang Teng didnât move. He was prepared to use his space talent if he needed to, but he didnât move. He stared at the arrow and allowed the wind to lift his hair into the air.
He mustnât be frightened now. He believed that these people here wouldnât allow Sinclamon to kill him. If they did, the Great Qian Noble Family Consultation Chamber wasnât worth all his effort. He could forget about getting justice here.
The distance was short, so the blue arrow arrived in front of Wang Tengâs eyes within a split second. However, when it was three inches away, it stopped in mid-air and couldnât move anymore.
âEnough.â A calm voice rose gradually.
