Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

The gaze of the members of the five major families towards Wang Teng underwent a complete transformation at this moment.

They seemed to grasp the meaning behind Wang Teng’s words.

To be modest, to be honest, lest one invite catastrophic consequences.

Elder Hui was too arrogant, offending those he shouldn’t have, which ultimately led to dire consequences.

That was an eternal-stage rule, but even he was unable to protect the Black Skull Universe Pirates fleet. It demonstrated the strength of their adversaries.

Although they didn’t know whether Elder Hui ultimately perished, the scene indicated the intervention of a terrifyingly powerful individual. Even if he didn’t die, he surely didn’t escape unscathed.

It served as a stark warning!

Though the five families were not weak, they weren’t significantly stronger than the Black Skull Universe Pirates. Indeed, just one Elder Hui could bring about the destruction of the five major families.

If such a being were to target them, they would surely face complete annihilation.

Having just experienced a brush with death, the five major families now resembled a startled bird, exceedingly cautious, fearing to provoke any force beyond their reckoning once more.

So, when Wang Teng uttered those words, they couldn’t help but speculate.

Moreover, Wang Teng’s words were easily misconstrued, resembling a warning to them.

This was horrifying!

Behind Wang Teng, there must be an unimaginable powerhouse, perhaps even a colossal and unparalleled force as a backing. Otherwise, how could he easily obliterate a fleet of the Black Skull Universe Pirates?

Seriously… why didn’t he reveal such a background earlier? If he had, they wouldn’t have had any grievances with him.

Having such an ally was undoubtedly far better than having such an enemy.

Upon careful consideration, they could understand. With the talent and aptitude of Wang Teng, if he were to grow smoothly, he would undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle in the future.

Naturally, the forces behind him would want to nurture him properly, allowing him to grow amidst adversity rather than coddling him like a hothouse flower. Hence, they couldn’t expose their existence easily.

Hengzang Bo and the other elders seemed to notice a pivotal point. They exchanged a quick, untraceable glance and communicated silently.

In essence, they must not offend Councilor Wang Teng.

Soon,they reached a consensus.

Hengzang Bo spoke again. ”You’re right. It’s better to be modest. The five major families are very modest, absolutely avoiding trouble everywhere. This is the way to long-term development.”

Guizang Ling, the elder of the Guizang Family, looked towards Hengzang Chuan and other family heads beside him, solemnly reminding them. “Keep an eye on the younger generation of our family. Don’t let them cause trouble outside, nor make enemies with others. Make more friends. If any disobedient youngsters arise, bring them back, break their legs, and confine them to contemplate their actions.”

“Yes!” Hengzang Chuan and the others dared not defy their elders in the slightest, immediately nodding in agreement.

When Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, and the others heard the Guizang family’s elder’s words, the muscles on their faces twitched.

They felt that this was directed at them.

As the pride of the five major families, they had always been accustomed to arrogance. They had never been told to be so submissive.

However, now, it seemed the elders wanted them to refrain from causing trouble and to always remain patient.

This wasn’t being modest. It was simply acting like suck-ups!

The young and arrogant warriors present couldn’t help but cast their gaze towards Wang Teng, their eyes tinged with resentment.

But soon, they understood the intentions of their elders and were secretly shocked.

Could it be that the fleet of the Black Skull Universe Pirates was truly destroyed by the forces behind Councilor Wang Teng?

“Did you all hear that?” Yizang Zhao, the elder of the Yizang Family, glared at Hengzang Mo and the others, saying.

“We heard,” Hengzang Mo and the others immediately straightened their faces, quickly putting away their resentful expressions and nodding in response.

Wang Teng:…

Round Ball:…

Both of them suddenly felt that something was amiss!

Especially Wang Teng. He had just casually mentioned it, yet why did it seem like the eternal-stage elders of the five major families were attaching great importance to it?

Could it be that they were frightened by the invasion of the Heishan Royal Clan?

It was very possible!

Wang Teng and Round Ball exchanged a glance, clearly thinking of the same thing, and nodded subtly.

Since they were disciplining their descendants, Wang Teng couldn’t intervene. At this moment, he could only watch with a smile.

But this demeanor made Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, and others even more furious.

Infuriating!

As the instigator, he was there gloating, exhibiting excessively malevolent character traits.

Yizang Xinnuo was also speechless. Wang Teng, indeed, had a twisted sense of humor, actually standing by and watching them being ridiculed.

“Councilor Wang Teng, as the overseer of the younger generation of warriors from our Five Burial Stars, we entrust these little brats to you from now on. If they do anything wrong, you give them a good lesson. We won’t say a word. If they die, it’s their bad luck,” Hengzang Bo cleared his throat and said.

“No problem! No problem! It won’t come to death. At most, just a good scolding. I know my limits.” Wang Teng’s eyes lit up slightly. He hadn’t expected the five major families to bring this up voluntarily, which suited his intentions perfectly.

With these elders of the five families speaking up personally, it was like having a golden command token. The younger generation of warriors from the Five Burial Stars wouldn’t dare to say anything.

His displayed strength had already made the younger generation of warriors from the Five Burial Stars feel suffocated, and they dared not contend with him anymore. However, when spoken by the eternal-stage elders of the five major families, their words carried an entirely different weight..
