'It seems that this old peacock is determined to become the king of beasts, but I can't be blamed for that, can I?'

Yeah, what does that have to do with me? If I didn't keep fooling myself like this, I would have died long ago.

Moreover, how could such a significant event be decided in just a few days? He must have started scheming from the moment he recruited the overseas demon king.

Even if it has anything to do with me, it's only a tiny, insignificant thing.

His nonsense might at most grant him a little legitimacy in terms of morality, but even that legitimacy might not be widely accepted.

With things having developed to this point, Wang Zheng could only console himself with this thought.

After the brief conversation, the Peacock Demon King didn't say much more. He simply instructed Wang Zheng to make preparations, saying that he would take him away soon.

Even at the very end, when they were planning to let him go, Kong Xuan still didn't intend to let Wang Zheng leave on his own.

Actually, Wang Zheng didn't have much to pack; all his belongings were in his storage space.

He strolled out of the hall and walked to the top of Cangshan Mountain, where he pondered for a long time amidst the beautiful scenery.

Although he didn't know where the Peacock Demon King's confidence came from, once such a war between demon kings broke out, countless people would die, and what would follow would be the retaliation of the entire Chinese nation.

Wang Zheng truly didn't understand. Even if he managed to conquer such territory, what good would it do? He couldn't possibly defend it.

However, this is not something he can solve, and Wang Zheng can only hope that the national government can take some action.

As time flew by, Kong Xuan suddenly appeared on the mountaintop with five foreign demon kings, and then looked at the silent Wang Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, the group of seven flew directly south.

Wang Zheng was preoccupied, and even the flirtatious advances of the alluring blonde female demon king failed to rouse him to speak again.

However, this doesn't contradict his long-standing cold and aloof persona.

Wang Zheng knew very well that there could not possibly be more than 23 extraordinary individuals in Yunnan.

With so many demon kings leading their high-grade beasts, it's impossible for them to attack only one territory. The other demon kings may have gone to open up other battlefields.

Thinking about this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but start making wild guesses.

As the surroundings gradually became familiar, Wang Zheng realized that he had arrived near Tengchong City.

Wang Zheng himself started from Tengchong City, and now he has a guilty conscience and is extremely guilty.

'Luckily, I had previously mentioned my connections with the Chinese military. Even if he found out some information, I could cover it up. Otherwise, that old fox would definitely have become suspicious.'

He wondered if the Peacock Demon King had discovered some information and brought him here to test him.

The closer he got to the front, the stronger the unease in Wang Zheng's heart became.

When the outline of Tengchong City became clear in the distance, the five foreign demon kings behind them rushed over without saying a word. It seemed that it was time to present their pledge of allegiance.

A violent surge of spiritual energy erupted as the domains of the five demon kings unfolded.

In an instant, five different domains—moonlight, crimson flames, eerie winds, bloodshed, and darkness—completely enveloped the entire city of Tengchong. Under the illumination of these various lights, the city seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence, as if plunged into darkness, even in broad daylight.

At the same moment that these five demon kings unleashed their power, alarms blared throughout Tengchong City.

As the wind and clouds surged, the two celestial Dharma forms rapidly expanded and flew out from within the city.

One of them was the commander-in-chief of the Tengchong military headquarters whom Wang Zheng had met before. As for the other person, he was not wearing a military uniform and Wang Zheng did not recognize him.

Although these five demon kings were all new faces whom they had never seen before, the two of them flew out of the city and immediately began to fight against them.

There were no questions, no exchanges, and of course, no fear of battle whatsoever.

They had done everything in their power just to keep these demon kings out of the city.

However, after realizing that they were outnumbered by five, the two men did not hesitate. They exchanged a glance and immediately split up and fled.

Because they knew that if a fight broke out directly in the city, no one in the city would be able to survive the aftermath of the battle between the Demon King and the superhumans.

Since that's the case, it's better to retreat proactively. As long as these demon kings pursue them, only if the two of them lure them away will the people of the city have a chance to survive.

If they don't pursue, or if they don't all come to pursue, then they will consider their next course of action.

As expected, the situation did not surprise them. These demon kings, mindful of their status, did not harm the civilians in the city. Although they were stunned for a moment when they saw the two fleeing separately, they eventually split into two groups and chased after their respective opponents.

Only after seven bigwigs withdrew from the city's skies did the sky over Tengchong brighten again.

Most civilians were unaware of what was happening and went out into the streets to watch this rare spectacle, only to be quickly persuaded to return by the soldiers of the military.
