Chapter 2370 Retreat! Crisis Resolved! Gratitude! (2)

If he could, he really wanted to kill Wang Teng here. However, he had no choice but to give up. He could only leave a sentence and prepare to leave.
"If need be, I fear no one among peers. Come at me, and I'll deal with you one by one," Wang Teng asserted with extreme confidence, his tone casual. "As for certain old fogeys who rely on their seniority to bully the young, the Seven Stellar Academies are not to be trifled with. Our president and those true god-stage beings won't stand by and watch us, the students, being bullied outside."
Elder Hui's eye twitched.
He could naturally discern that the reference to old fogeys who rely on seniority to bully the young was directed at him.
This kid had nerves of steel. Even he, an eternal-stage ruler, couldn't escape the scathing rebuke. He had never encountered someone like this before, and now he found himself facing such a person, one he couldn't handle.
Moreover, the mention of the president of the stellar academies and the true god-stage beings did make him wary.
Such beings were beyond his league, even as an eternal-stage ruler.
"Kid, do you think a cosmos-stage martial warrior like you can make a god-stage martial artist take action?"
However, Elder Hui wasn't one to back down either, a sneer curling his lips as he thought Wang Teng was bluffing.
"With my talent and potential, do you think it's impossible?" Wang Teng smiled faintly.
It was a statement brimming with self-assurance, but Wang Teng had every right to say so.
And it was true. The president and others held him in high regard. If they knew an eternal-stage ruler had attacked him, they wouldn't let it slide.
Elder Hui gave Wang Teng a suspicious glance, but in the end, he said nothing, dissolving into the starry sky with the youth from the Heishan Royal Clan.
Elder Hui's voice, aged and solemn, whispered into Wang Teng's ears from the void, indicating he wasn't going to let Wang Teng off so easily.
"Kid, the Heishan Royal Clan isn't so easy to offend. Even the Stellar Academies might not be able to protect you."
Elder Hui's voice, aged and solemn, whispered into Wang Teng's ears from the void, indicating he wasn't going to let Wang Teng off so easily.
Today's events were a lifelong humiliation for Elder Hui. As an eternal-stage ruler, being threatened by a cosmos-stage warrior and having to yield. How could he tolerate it?
Wang Teng's existence had become a stain in his life.
This stain had to be wiped out.
Wang Teng's heart tightened slightly. Elder Hui wasn't easily intimidated, even after Wang Teng brought up the president of the Stellar Academies and the true god-stage beings. His resolve for retaliation remained firm, leaving Wang Teng feeling helpless.
It seemed he would have to be even more cautious in the future. What a mess this was!
He had never imagined invoking the ire of such formidable beings. Why did powerful individuals always seem to have a bone to pick with him?
"What have I done wrong? Can't I change?" Wang Teng sighed inwardly.
Round Ball: …
As Elder Hui departed, the universe-stage figures from the Black Skull Universe Pirates dared not linger and immediately retreated into their spacecraft.
Before long, the vessels of the Black Skull Universe Pirates altered course and vanished into the depths of space, disappearing beyond the starry sky of the Five Burial Stars.
A conflict potent enough to devastate the Five Burial Stars concluded in a remarkably unconventional manner.
"Bye!"
A collective sigh of relief escaped the onlookers, especially the warriors of the five major families. Their faces reflected the relief of surviving a catastrophe.
Faced with the invasion of the Black Skull Universe Pirates, even the Five Burial Stars faced the threat of being overthrown.
Moreover, behind the Black Skull Universe Pirates loomed the immensely powerful Heishan Royal Clan.
Even an eternal-stage ruler emerged. If not for Wang Teng, the five eternal stage marquesses from the five major families would have been utterly incapable of withstanding them.
The devastation was averted in an instant!
The onlookers couldn't help but gaze at the black-haired youth in the sky, who hadn't even bowed to an eternal-stage ruler being. They were awed by his indomitable spirit.
The massive and mystical shadow loomed behind him, with five swirling vortexes emanating brilliance. He appeared even more extraordinary and towering.
Despite his body being covered in scars and soaked in blood, his extraordinary aura couldn't be concealed, radiating a formidable presence.
What a remarkable prodigy he was!
The universe-stage figures present, including the eternal-stage beings of the five major families, had never seen such a monstrous and heaven-defying martial warrior before.
The black-haired youth before them truly left them astounded!
At this moment, the eternal-stage beings of the five major families exchanged glances, unable to suppress their relief. Then, they turned to Wang Teng and spoke, "Wang Teng, we owe our survival in this calamity to your assistance. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to you."
With that, these eternal-stage beings actually offered a solemn gesture of thanks to Wang Teng.
The universe-stage figures of various forces in the distance witnessed this scene, their faces displaying expressions of astonishment. The fact that the eternal-stage beings of the five major families personally expressed gratitude to Wang Teng was indeed a considerable show of respect.
However, upon reflection, they understood.
If their respective forces were faced with such a catastrophic disaster and someone could save them, the eternal-stage beings of their respective forces would likely also come forward to express gratitude. Compared to annihilation, such face-saving gestures were insignificant.
Wang Teng snapped out of his reverie and the shadow behind him slowly dissipated. Shaking his head, he said, "Seniors, there's no need for such formality. It was a matter of self-preservation for me, and if it weren't for me, they probably wouldn't have targeted the Five Burial Stars."
The reason he added the final condition, not allowing anyone from the Heishan Royal Clan to trouble the Five Burial Stars, was to win the gratitude of the Five Burial Clan.
The five major families had proven to be of great use to him.
If the five major families could fully align with him, some of his plans could be implemented ahead of schedule.
Moreover, whether he added this condition or not, Elder Hui would have agreed to it. He just needed to say the word.
"Young friend, there's no need for more words. They came for our Five Burial Stars from the beginning. We are well aware of your kindness, and you have obtained the Five Burial Token, making you an honored guest of our families. There's no need for further polite words," an eternal stage being said.
Wang Teng felt satisfied. His efforts had not been in vain. The five major families were quite sensible.
Hengzang Chuan, Yizang Bai, and the others flew over from a distance. Upon hearing the words of the senior ancestors, they looked at Wang Teng with complex expressions.
"Han…" Hengzang Chuan instinctively began, but immediately realized his mistake and corrected himself, "Wang Teng, is it alright if we call you that?"
"Cough, of course, there's no problem. Wang Teng is my real name. I entered the Five Burial Stars under the identity of Han Zhu out of necessity. I hope the family heads won't mind," Wang Teng cleared his throat and said.
"You have obtained the Five Burial Token and helped us through this difficult time. How could we blame you?" Hengzang Chuan and others smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
At this point, further investigation into these matters was meaningless.
After all, Wang Teng had concealed his identity mainly due to the discord between them and the Academy Arbitration Association. Wang Teng's entry into the Five Burial Stars under the identity of Han Zhu was understandable.
Moreover, the way he obtained the Five Burial Token was entirely reasonable, leaving them no room for objection.
"That's great," Wang Teng said with a smile.
He also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that these family heads would not accept his identity, which would have been troublesome.
In fact, it was also thanks to the Heishan Royal Clan. If they hadn't appeared, he probably wouldn't have been able to make the five major families accept his identity so easily.
Even though they experienced a life-threatening crisis in the process.
But misfortune and blessings often come hand in hand, and who can say it's all bad?
"Young friend, let's not talk about anything else for now. You seem to have suffered some serious injuries. Why don't you come back to the Five Burial Stars with us to rest?" Yizang Bai suggested.
"That's a good idea!" Wang Teng nodded without hesitation or refusal.
