Inside the main hall, Wang Zheng was searching for an opportunity to escape his predicament. At this moment, the Huaxia Grandmaster Group and the demon king forces led by the Peacock Demon King had already begun to draw their swords, as if a great battle was about to break out at any moment.
Seeing this, a middle-aged man with a goatee standing behind Master Huang stepped forward and whispered some advice:
"Master Huangqi, although the Peacock Demon King is a great enemy of us humans, it is not a good thing for us to remain in this stalemate."
Moreover, this peacock is so ruthless; these lone demon kings are probably more afraid of him than respectful. Once the barrier is broken, they might be able to use this to their advantage against him.
Seeing that Huang Qi seemed somewhat interested, the master continued to persuade him:
"Although the pills we obtained in that side hall were precious, so many years have passed, and we don't know if they are still effective. You know how scarce these ancient heritages are in the country right now, so we should prioritize the overall situation!"
Although the man spoke in a very low voice, the surrounding masters still heard him.
Huang Qi gave him a deep look, and finally sighed helplessly.
Although Grandmaster Huang is the strongest and the current leader of the team, he doesn't have much command authority over this Grandmaster who came from the capital and has been stationed in the sea area for more than half a year.
Although he had always felt that this Master Wu Ning was of average strength, worldly and slick, and usually quite lazy, and would only shirk his responsibilities and not put in any effort, he was, after all, a reinforcement representing the capital to help defend the city.
Moreover, regardless of anything else, he was one of the grandmasters who had once aided Yunnan and Yunnan, and had even been seriously injured by the Peacock Demon King. Logically speaking, he should hate the demon king even more than I do.
But it's not wrong for them to have this awareness now, after all, what China really lacks right now is the benefits of excavating from ancient sites.
Elixirs and weapons are relatively easy to obtain, but those ancient texts that can be used to decipher ancient scripts and the ancient cultivation techniques that even cultivators in grotto-heavens yearn for are opportunities that China, and even all of humanity, cannot afford to miss.
With this thought in mind, the far-sighted master decided not to continue the stalemate.
After all, they've waited so long without any reinforcements arriving, so it seems that these ruins can only be explored by the current demon kings, and the grandmasters from the outside world probably won't be able to get in.
So Huang Qi whispered instructions to the people around him:
"This peacock is so focused on opening the main hall that it is clear that it came prepared. Moreover, it has no desire for the spiritual plants and medicinal herbs in the backyard, the books, pills and even weapons in the side hall. It is very likely that it already knows what benefits are in the main hall."
Although we don't know where he got the information, we've already lost the initiative. But the more this is the case, the more careful we need to be. Ideally, we should wait until the barrier is about to be breached before we...
Knowing full well that China's dream of exclusively possessing the benefits of the ruins had been dashed, Master Huangqi could only reluctantly compromise after giving some careful instructions.
Nevertheless, he had no intention of letting the Peacock Demon King get away with it.
Although it would be quite difficult to kill the demon king directly given the current situation, it wouldn't be a problem to annoy him.
Thinking of this, Master Huangqi said loudly to the peacock:
"Although I don't know what you're plotting, I warn you, you'd better not set your sights on us. Otherwise, even if it means giving up all the benefits here, our Chinese race will fight you to the death."
"If you want our consent to open the barrier now, that's fine, but hand over the demon king's corpse on the ground, and the scriptures from that small hall. Then I'll agree to lift the seal on the main hall!"
Upon hearing Grandmaster Huangqi's request, the Peacock Demon King was overjoyed.
Although he knew very well that the old man Huang was trying to sow discord between him and the rogue demon race, he didn't hesitate. Without saying a word, he kicked the demon king, who had already revealed his true form, over, without even taking out his inner core. He was extremely straightforward.
As for the books, he didn't care at all, and simply waved his hand, tossing several books over.
Although the demon king Huang Qi proposed was not much different from those rogue demon kings, the feedback he received at this moment was completely different.
It just goes to show that having a powerful backer makes all the difference.
Faced with this situation, the muscular priest on the human side, carrying a huge cross, couldn't hold back any longer. He was about to speak when the priest firmly stopped him.
We have to stop them. This guy is a bit dim-witted. There are only two of them, the grandmasters stationed in South Korea. If they don't cling tightly to the coattails of the Chinese grandmaster group, a real melee will break out, and if they get targeted, they won't even know how they died.
Do you really think those dozen or so demon kings are so good-natured? This is all based on equal strength.
If China only had two extraordinary individuals, would this brutal demon king still be so easy to talk to? He would probably have been killed long ago...
The Peacock Demon King saw everyone's reactions, but he didn't seem to care.
The benefits he sought were right before his eyes, and although he knew they were likely futile, he still feigned concern and said:
"Master Huang, I have already expressed my sincerity. I have no intention of being an enemy of China. Let us work together and each get what we need from the best strategies."
"If we both work together, I will leave no stone unturned in revealing the relevant scriptures and secret treasures, and I guarantee I will absolutely not compete with you for them, how about that?"
Huang Qi remained unmoved by the Peacock Demon King's renewed attempt to curry favor. He simply snorted and put the demon king's corpse and the ancient books into his storage ring, then fell silent.
Seeing that the Peacock Demon King had paid such a high price to open the main hall, no one would now think that this guy was just passing by.
Although we don't know what the demon king's plans are, there must be some benefits that the peacock demon king would do anything to obtain.
At this point, apart from a few lone demon kings who knew they couldn't gain any advantage from the two major powers and started to slack off, cautiously preparing to slip away at any moment, everyone else had a burning desire in their eyes.
The most powerful Chinese Grandmaster and the Peacock Demon King have already made their discord public. When the two tigers fight, they may not be without a sliver of hope of gaining an advantage...
"call--"
Seeing that the benefits he had been planning for nearly half a year were finally coming to an end, the Peacock Demon King, now free of any obstacles, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Following his orders, the demon kings behind him began to break the formation first, and then a group of extraordinary beings and demon kings also began to unleash attacks on the main hall's gate, preparing to forcibly break through the barrier.
Seeing the barrier of the main hall teetering on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of the crowd, Wang Zheng, who was already prepared to break through and transcend to the mortal realm, was also filled with excitement...
