At this moment, the masters of China made their decision, and Huang Qi reluctantly agreed with his old friend's point of view.
At his command, the other grandmasters turned around and disappeared into the spatial rift to find a way out and seek reinforcements.
Although the remaining demon kings feared the peacock demon king's ferocity, they couldn't resist their greed in the face of the treasure. Amidst the chaos, one demon king was the first to reach the top, touched the entrance of the main hall, and reached out to push it open.
Having overcome the biggest obstacle, the Peacock Demon King could not allow such a situation to occur. In an instant, two divine lights fell in succession, and he unleashed his strongest killing move.
After being trapped, the demon king was unable to move and could only watch helplessly as his spiritual energy continued to drain away. Then, the arriving Yunnan demon king beheaded him with a single stroke.
The immense force sent the demon king's head soaring into the sky, crashing open the vermilion palace doors and tumbling inside.
Upon seeing that the main hall of the ruins had lost its protective barrier and its doors were wide open, the Peacock Demon King could no longer contain his excitement and flashed to the door.
Seeing that their leader had gained the upper hand, his subordinates naturally followed suit, blocking the greedy demon king and the extraordinary beings behind him.
In a short period of time, this Peacock Demon King actually forced back the Chinese Grandmasters and killed several Demon Kings. As a land-based Demon King, he suppressed a group of sea-dwelling Demon Kings, who dared not resist. They could only watch helplessly as that green figure strode into the temple they had always dreamed of...
However, when the Peacock Demon King entered and saw the scene inside, he stopped in his tracks and froze in place, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets in surprise.
Even when surrounded by several grandmasters, this peerless demon king remained calm and composed. Although he had imagined the scene in this hall, he never expected that the young master Wang, whom he had been thinking about day and night, would appear here.
Although it was a double celebration, the demon king glanced around, taking in the entire room. He then worried that Wang Zheng might get there first and steal his share, so he frowned and directly questioned him:
"Wang Zheng, what are you doing here?!"
At this moment, the hall was completely empty, as if it had been swept clean. Apart from a huge statue of a demon king standing in the center of the hall, he could not see even the slightest benefit.
Now look at Young Master Wang. He is standing up and digging out the demon king's inner core. However, his head is radiant with golden light, his appearance is majestic and solemn, and his aura is so powerful that it can be described as vast and magnificent...
On the back of that strange flying fish statue, the ferocious beast sat upright with its eyes closed, completely unaware of the countless terrifying bolts of lightning that struck it. It was also unmoved by the Peacock Demon King's breach of the door.
Moreover, with each continuous lightning strike, one could even sense that terrifying physical body was constantly growing stronger.
This bizarre scene made the Peacock Demon King hesitant to act rashly.
On the surface, Wang Zheng appeared calm and collected, but in his heart, he was no less terrified than the Peacock Demon King.
Don't be fooled by his seemingly convincing act; his Dharma image is only solidified on the front, while the back remains a hollow expanse of yellow mist.
If it weren't for the Peacock Demon King's fear of the ferocious beast that looked exactly like Wang Zheng, he probably would have been exposed long ago.
Young Master Wang's face remained calm, but in his heart he was cursing wildly.
"These useless idiots, couldn't they have held out a little longer? So many demon kings and extraordinary beings were blocked by just a dozen demon kings. They're nothing!"
And this peacock really isn't afraid of death! The lightning is still striking, and it dares to just run in like that. Isn't it afraid of being struck by lightning? It seems the suffering it endured during its tribulation back then wasn't enough!
You may curse in your heart, but you can't show your fear on your face.
Not only should you not show the slightest fear, but you should also bluff to intimidate him.
Fortunately, Wang Dashao's acting skills have been honed through several big scenes and are now superb. He was determined to stall for time, and Wang Zheng arrived as soon as he was told.
At that moment, Wang Zheng slowly pulled out a glowing inner core from the bloodied head, then slowly looked up at the Peacock Demon King.
"Hey, isn't this the Demon King Kong Xuan? What's he doing at the bottom of the Yellow Sea? Long time no see, how have you been?"
The moment the Peacock Demon King saw Wang Zheng inside the hall, his pupils shrank sharply. He guessed that the reason why the hall was so spacious was probably because most of the benefits belonged to this kid.
However, after seeing the terrifying aura emanating from the ferocious beast, he was no longer so sure about Wang Zheng's true identity.
However, knowing that time was of the essence, the Peacock Demon King didn't waste any words. Despite feeling the pressure from the ferocious beast, he still directly stated his purpose.
"Wang Zheng, I don't care why you are here, nor do I care about the many treasures in these ruins. However, there is an ancient aura in this hall that is very important to me. I am determined to obtain this thing."
"I don't care whether you're human or demon, as long as you hand over the items, I will leave without harming you. I can even guarantee the safety of the Chinese masters outside the palace."
After saying this, he seemed to know that Wang Zheng wouldn't behave himself, so he added a sentence.
"Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to take you back and treat you properly!"
Wang Zheng seemed completely unconcerned about the threat posed by the Peacock Demon King.
Although he had some guesses about the chaotic aura this guy was talking about, he didn't reveal any flaws. He just deliberately glanced at the still calm and composed beast on the statue, and then laughed:
"I spoke kindly, why did the Demon King speak so hurtfully?"
As for capturing me? The Demon King isn't afraid of biting off more than he can chew!
You dare not speak recklessly in front of my father, for if you displease him, your unskilled azure-yellow divine light will not be enough to deal with him.
Even if your ancestor, who has already condensed the five-colored divine light, were to come in person, he probably wouldn't fare well. Be careful what you say...
'Damn it, my clone is my own, calling myself "Father Emperor" isn't shameful.'
Wang Zheng tried to reassure himself, determined to stall for time.
Young Master Wang is taking advantage of the Demon King's lack of knowledge, unaware of the process required to condense a Dharma form. Otherwise, if his true nature had been exposed, the Peacock Demon King would likely have unleashed a divine light upon him.
However, the Peacock Demon King knew that time was of the essence and his patience was running out.
Moreover, he had already suspected Wang Zheng's identity. Although this beast looked quite extraordinary, it was clearly undergoing tribulation at the moment. Even if it was really that ancient giant, it might be in a weakened state. If they really fought, he might not be without a chance of winning.
"You don't need to play tricks, kid. I've already investigated your background thoroughly. If you don't hand over that aura, don't worry about my past friendship!"
