At this moment, the Peacock Demon King's expression was uncertain, and he looked ready to make a move.
Seeing the fleeting fear in the demon king's eyes, followed by a murderous glint, Wang Zheng cursed the guy for turning his back on him. He stepped aside, bowed slightly to the ferocious beast on the Yingyu statue, and gestured to the Peacock Demon King to let him go.
They seemed to really hope that the Peacock Demon King would make a move now.
The demon king, with his complex thoughts, was caught in a dilemma. He couldn't figure out Wang Zheng's intentions, but he had no choice but to fix his gaze on Wang Zheng.
Young Master Wang pretended to take two steps back and stood to the side and behind the statue, while at the same time changing the subject.
"Forget it, it's just a verbal argument. I don't want to see the Demon King die here either. Considering we've known each other and you've been quite good to me in Yunnan, I'll let it go."
Although I know about the chaotic aura that the Demon King seeks, he certainly wouldn't believe me if I said that what you're looking for isn't in this palace.
"How difficult! Is the ancient aura the Demon King spoke of just a hazy, gray mist, devoid of any divine essence or spiritual energy, yet possessing a certain liveliness, constantly churning and writhing, as if it were alive?"
Upon hearing this, the Peacock Demon King could not hide the excitement on his face, and the divine light in his hand dimmed.
"This is it! Hand it over!"
Upon receiving confirmation from the Peacock Demon King, Wang Zheng cursed inwardly.
"I knew it! Isn't this just a coincidence? That so-called ancient aura wasn't in this main hall. It was swallowed whole by the ferocious beast in the herb garden pavilion in the backyard. If you're so capable, go after him! Why are you trying to bully me?"
And who would have thought that the treasure the Peacock Demon King so desperately wanted would be carelessly tossed into the herb garden in the backyard as a spirit-gathering object? Is this thing so worthless that it attracted both the ferocious beast and the Peacock Demon King to fight over it?
However, no matter how grief-stricken one is inside, one must still maintain a calm expression on one's face and put on a show.
"Where did you get this idea, Demon King? I only said I saw this cloud of mist, but I didn't say I took it."
Seeing that the Peacock Demon King was about to erupt again, Wang Zheng waved his hand helplessly.
"I just can't figure it out either. With your personality, how did you manage to cultivate this supernatural power? No wonder you haven't made any progress in the past six months."
Look closely at this place; where does it resemble that chaotic aura?
"I haven't left this hall since I accidentally entered it. I only know a little about the information you mentioned about the fog, and I've never touched it, let alone kept it for myself..."
Seeing that the Peacock Demon King didn't believe him at all, Wang Zheng continued to condense his Dharma form while speeding up his speech:
"The ancient aura that the Demon King seeks is actually a primordial chaotic energy. It might have a transformative effect on a creature like the Demon King, but it's of little use to my divine beast bloodline. In fact, it would only taint my bloodline. Don't look down on me too much!"
Feeling his discovery becoming increasingly solidified, Wang Zheng seized the opportunity to continue his deception, giving the Peacock Demon King no chance to speak and firmly controlling the pace of the conversation.
"Does the Demon King know what the purpose of these ruins is?"
The Peacock Demon King listened with skepticism, then flicked his long sleeves and replied angrily:
"How could I possibly know? Don't play tricks and deliberately change the subject!"
The Peacock Demon King spoke bluntly, but Wang Zheng was not angry. He simply spun the inner core in his hand a few times and then absorbed all the spiritual energy within it in one go.
Upon seeing this, the Peacock Demon King's eyes narrowed.
It should be noted that this inner core is the essence of the demon king's spiritual energy, and it contains a considerable amount of energy. Even if he wanted to completely devour and absorb this inner core, it would not be such a simple matter.
In just a few breaths, the inner core lost its luster in Wang Zheng's hands and turned into a pile of dust. What kind of strength must the kid opposite him have?
Moreover, based on the intelligence I've gathered, Wang Zheng is undoubtedly human, but he has suddenly appeared in this ancient ruin, accompanied by that terrifying monster.
Although it was still enduring a transformation tribulation far exceeding the norm, the aura it emitted was absolutely genuine.
Faced with all these strange occurrences, how could the Peacock Demon King not be alarmed?
Knowing that his pretentious act had worked, Wang Zheng was secretly pleased. He then sat down cross-legged and gave a fake sigh.
"Alas~ This relic is not, as people say, a legacy left by ancient cultivators. Rather, it is a seal, a suppression."
In the primordial era, when heaven and earth were first separated and all things originated, one hundred and eight great demons were born from chaos, wreaking havoc on the world. In an instant, all living beings suffered and disasters arose everywhere.
At this time, a genius of unparalleled talent appeared, defeating all 108 great demons one by one and sealing them in various parts of the world. This is what is known as…
Before Wang Zheng could finish his story, it seemed that he had guessed part of the truth. The ferocious beast, which had been lazily sitting on the back of the Yingyu without any signs of movement, suddenly stood up and roared to the sky.
His angry expression was palpable, and the killing intent emanating from his body was so tangible that it caused the surrounding void to tremble, as if it had been shattered by his roar.
At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, icy cold.
Wang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly swallowed back what he was about to say.
Meanwhile, the Peacock Demon King, seeing the ferocious beast rampage and sensing its domineering aura, felt a chill in his heart.
Although the pressure wasn't directed at him, the boundless ferocity was undeniable, and the killing intent it contained revealed that this demon king was a primordial being who had survived the battles of the ancient primordial era.
