Many people nodded after hearing Sinclamon’s words. The empire had strict regulations regarding the inheritance of a noble title. There mustn’t be any mistakes.

Cao Hongtu was holding the baron’s 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 Sinclamon’s 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.

“Wang Teng!” The old man looked at him and asked, “Do you have other items to prove your identity? Or has Baron Nangong left a will?”

Wang Teng frowned. The remains of Nangong Yue’s last spiritual mark had dissipated, and he didn’t leave behind any will. Everything was passed to him through Round Ball. Besides the baron’s seal, there was nothing to prove his identity.

This was a little troublesome!

Actually, the baron’s 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 couldn’t take out anything to prove his identity, he wouldn’t be the rightful inheritor of the baron’s 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 baron’s title from his father.

“If you don’t have it, your identity can’t be confirmed temporarily,” 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 Teng’s complaint, he might leap out of the soil.

He felt wronged too.

He thought that Wang Teng would head to the Great Qian Empire after he got stronger, but he didn’t 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 Ball’s bottom line.

“Master Nangong didn’t know that the Parkers family will interfere!” Round Ball spoke up for Nangong Yue. It turned serious and asked in a puzzled tone, “Are they the ones behind Cao Hongtu? But with their status, why would they lay their eyes on a baron’s position?”

“How would I know? Maybe they have some unknown secret?” Wang Teng shook his head. “This is not the time to think about this. Quick, find a solution.”

“Erm… I have no solution,” Round Ball said with guilt.

“Seriously!” 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. “Oh right, I have the legacy palace. How can I forget about that?”

“No, 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.” Round Ball stopped him hurriedly.

“Why would they lay their eyes on the legacy of a cosmos-stage martial warrior?” Wang Teng was stunned.

“Of course, they will. What’s more, Master Nangong’s legacy isn’t just a cosmos-stage martial warrior’s legacy. It’s the legacy of a baron from the Great Qian Empire. The Nangong Family’s foundation isn’t just at the cosmos stage,” Round Ball explained.

“However, there’s nothing above the cosmos stage in the legacy palace.” Wang Teng frowned.

“Your legacy mark can’t open the Nangong Family’s treasure vault,” Round Ball said calmly.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Wang Teng felt like strangling Round Ball. It was so infuriating. It should have told him earlier!

“You haven’t even reached the cosmos stage, so it’s useless even if I tell you. What’s more, the treasure vault is in the Nangong Residence. Since you have not inherited the baron’s title, you can’t enter the residence. You can’t do anything,” Round Ball refuted.

Wang Teng took a deep breath. He knew that Round Ball was right, but it was still infuriating!

“Head of the council, since he can’t prove his identity, this inheritance is just a cock-and-bull story. I think we should expel him from the country. As for the baron’s seal, let’s return it to the rightful owner. My father is the baron’s disciple. He has the right to possess the baron’s seal.” Cao Guan’s voice was heard at this moment.

Wang Teng looked up.

What an evil heart!

He wanted to snatch the baron’s seal and expel him from the country.

What a great plan he had!

Wang Teng’s 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 baron’s position, he couldn’t save Earth. The guardian of the Milky Way, Kloet, would be the first to kill him.

“You want the baron’s seal?” Wang Teng asked without any expression on his face.

“You got it because of luck. You have no right to hold that position. My father is the baron’s disciple. Baron Nangong has died, so the baron’s seal rightfully belongs to my father. I’m just getting what’s ours back.” Cao Guan snorted. He became confident since there was someone supporting him.

“Cao Guan is right. The baron’s seal can’t be in the hands of a person with an unknown identity,” Sinclamon said calmly.

“Hahaha…” Wang Teng suddenly burst out laughing. “What a great example of the seizure by force. Is this how the Great Qian Empire works? You’ve broadened my horizons!”

“How dare you!” Sinclamon frowned. He shouted, and a powerful pressure surged towards Wang Teng.

Boom!

Wang Teng’s face turned pale. The ability of a heaven-stage martial warrior wasn’t a joke. He might be able to participate in a cosmos-stage martial warriors’ battle, but there was still a huge difference between them and heaven-stage martial warriors. Just the aura almost forced him to his knees.

Break!

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.

Roar!

Boom!

The terrifying pressure above his head was pushed away in an instant. Wang Teng stood up straight and glared at Sinclamon. “How dare you?

“You’ve got some balls to seize in front of everyone!

“Other people might think that you’re the leader of the Great Qian Empire and you can decide who the noble title belongs to!”

…

His angry shouts burst out of his mouth and echoed in the great hall.

Silence!

There was dead silence.

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 didn’t 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.

“Are… are you looking for death!” Round Ball was in disbelief too. It stammered as it spoke.

Extremely terrifying!

It was too terrifying!

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.

Damn it!

He was dead!

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 Teng’s 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 Teng’s words had touched a taboo…

The leader of the Great Qian Empire!

If this label was pressed on him, the Parkers family wouldn’t be able to save him.

“This is bullshit!” Sinclamon roared angrily. He got up and gritted his teeth. “I have never said that I’m the leader of the Great Qian Empire. How dare you make such irresponsible remarks and frame me? Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?”

“Since you have the intent, why don’t you dare to admit it? Didn’t you want to snatch my baron’s seal a moment ago? If you don’t make the call, who does?

“Yet you still want to kill me to shut me up. You must be afraid that someone will discover your ulterior motives!

“Come, why don’t you kill me here directly? Why all the trouble? Don’t you find it tiring to talk too much?

“Come, kill me! If you don’t dare, you’re a coward!

“If I furrow my brows slightly, I’ll be your grandson!”

Wang Teng wasn’t 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 one’s 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 Sinclamon’s reaction. He increased his volume and shouted, “Come! Kill your grandfather!”

“Damn it!

“I’ll kill you!”

Sinclamon couldn’t 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.

“Die!”

Wang Teng didn’t move. He was prepared to use his space talent if he needed to, but he didn’t move. He stared at the arrow and allowed the wind to lift his hair into the air.

He mustn’t be frightened now. He believed that these people here wouldn’t allow Sinclamon to kill him. If they did, the Great Qian Noble Family Consultation Chamber wasn’t worth all his effort. He could forget about getting justice here.

The distance was short, so the blue arrow arrived in front of Wang Teng’s eyes within a split second. However, when it was three inches away, it stopped in mid-air and couldn’t move anymore.

“Enough.” A calm voice rose gradually.
