Having said that, seeing Wang Zheng's certainty and with the ferocious beast displaying boundless power beside him, the Peacock Demon King was already 80% convinced.
Despite the many mysteries surrounding Wang Zheng's identity, the Demon King readily accepted his explanations of the chaotic aura and some ancient secrets.
Even if what Wang Zheng said is true, and the so-called chaotic aura is not in this hall, he still cannot guarantee that Wang Zheng has already pocketed the benefits for himself and is only now putting on an act.
In fact, the Peacock Demon King did intend to capture Wang Zheng directly and interrogate him thoroughly.
But now that this kid has manifested his Dharma form, it's clear that he has already reached the same level as me, and he's also on guard against me.
Although he was a veteran demon king with supernatural powers protecting him, he did not think he was inferior to Wang Zheng.
Moreover, even if Wang Zheng possessed some kind of storage ability, he believed that if he truly killed this kid here, the treasures hidden inside his belly would definitely surface.
But the problem is that he can't guarantee that the chaotic aura is on Wang Zheng.
Back in the wilderness of Yunnan, when he first met Wang Zheng, the kid appeared in the form of that ferocious beast. So, if Wang Zheng has any supernatural abilities, this ferocious beast must also have them.
The situation appears to be dominated by the divine beast, and Wang Zheng is actually too timid to utter a sound.
If he himself received such benefits, would he let his subordinates keep them all?
The answer is obvious.
Furthermore, considering that the transformation of the ferocious beast on the statue has already come to an end and has long passed the stage where it can be intervened by humans, and that this terrifying lightning tribulation can actually be directly refined and absorbed by the other party, what kind of terrifying strength must this be?
Considering his future ambitions, the Peacock Demon King couldn't help but feel a bit more apprehensive.
This ferocious demon king never fought a battle unprepared. After careful consideration, he ultimately felt that he was not entirely confident in turning against and killing the two people in front of him.
Even if they could, the ancient secrets they knew were knowledge I lacked, so killing them would be a real waste.
However, the idea of capturing them alive is simply a pipe dream.
After much deliberation, the Peacock Demon King decided that he shouldn't rush into a falling out with this mysterious fellow unless absolutely necessary.
Seeing that the peacock was still frowning and deep in thought, Wang Zheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He doesn't fear those who are quick-witted; he fears those who are stubborn and narrow-minded, because then his verbal skills will be rendered useless.
As for the ferocious beast that was still absorbing the lightning tribulation, it remained completely unmoved by the schemes and probing of the human and the demon. It was unclear whether it was because it was disdainful and uninterested, or because it was too busy undergoing its own tribulation to pay attention to anything else...
The Peacock Demon King had a plan in mind, which is why he didn't take action directly. He simply stayed at the gate and ordered his subordinates to carefully inspect the weapon-refining hall and the medicinal field in the backyard.
Seeing this situation, Wang Zheng also cursed loudly. Although he could clearly feel the killing intent in the demon king's eyes gradually fading, he could not concentrate on condensing his Dharma form while he was guarding this place, so his speed naturally slowed down.
"You don't even bother to check something this important yourself? Aren't you afraid your subordinates will secretly steal it?"
"This guy is really patient. He's definitely someone to be reckoned with. Once I finish my mortal transformation, if my strength has indeed improved significantly, I'll definitely kill him!"
"He dares to lay a hand on me today, and I'll kill him tomorrow. I won't rest easy until he's dead. Leaving aside the fact that he's only just cultivated two colors of divine light, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls in Yunnan, he cannot be allowed to live!"
"However, this matter needs further consideration. It's not impossible that we'll cooperate with the grandmaster outside the hall at that time..."
Just as Wang Zheng was plotting how to kill him later, the Peacock Demon King opposite him surveyed his surroundings and suddenly asked:
"I heard you were cultivating in seclusion in southern Beijing, and you even made a name for yourself at the Human Race Martial Arts Tournament not long ago. How come you've suddenly come to this Yellow Sea Ruins?"
"Isn't the Demon King living a carefree life at the bottom of Hongshawa? He's also traveled thousands of miles to this azure seabed. Besides, someone like me can't really decide where I am or what I do..."
Seeing Wang Zheng shaking his head and looking on with a sigh, while secretly glancing at the ferocious beast, the Peacock Demon King didn't say much, but what he was imagining in his mind was anyone's guess.
However, although he did not continue on this topic, he still asked:
"By the way, Wang Zheng, didn't you say you were a half-demon? How come you weren't discovered while being so high-profile among humans?"
Faced with yet another test from the Peacock Demon King, Wang Zheng laughed it off.
"Is that so? Did I say that? Hahahaha, even a demon king can plant demon king spies among humans, what are my little tricks compared to that?"
Moreover, I have now achieved extraordinary status, resolved the threat of half-demons, and possess a Dharma body; who would dare say I am not human!
The Peacock Demon King was already used to Wang Zheng's incoherent statements, but the more Wang Zheng made mistakes, the more the demon king would think.
The Peacock Demon King glanced at the ferocious beast again at this moment.
"I wonder what your plans are after this ruin is sealed off? How about you come and stay at my new base for a while after this exploration is over?"
Southeast Asia is changing every day, and the era of our demon beasts is about to begin. I sincerely invite you both to grace my humble abode with your presence and to offer your valuable guidance..."
Faced with these words that seemed like an invitation but were actually a threat, Wang Zheng knew he couldn't show weakness. With a smile on his face, he still managed to distance himself completely.
"I can't make that decision. Once my father has absorbed the power of this tribulation lightning, the Demon King can personally invite him to try!"
Seeing the genuine expectation in Wang Zheng's eyes, the Peacock Demon King's probing once again failed.
He couldn't understand it at all. This divine beast was extremely arrogant. After he came in, it didn't even look at him properly. On the other hand, Wang Zheng was pushing everything onto the other party, as if he really wanted to have a conflict with this so-called Zhenhuang.
This peacock probably couldn't understand even if she racked her brains, that Wang Zheng had no good intentions.
His audacity was not due to confidence in the strength of the ferocious beast.
Besides, didn't they say that even if you die, you won't truly perish, but will only fall into the cycle of reincarnation again?
Even so, Wang Zheng didn't believe that this guy would give up this hard-won physical body so easily.
If he really fights with the peacock, he will not only be able to judge the beast's attitude, but he might also gain an ancient demon king-level helper.
What Wang Zheng needs to do is drag the great demon inside him down with him!
As a being of this caliber, it must have its own dignity, right? Being mocked by a junior, Wang Zheng didn't believe that this beast had a good temper.
Even if he really couldn't win, he could still take advantage of the chaos. There was no other way, since his main body couldn't control this clone at all, so he could only resort to some sneaky tricks.
I'm digging my own grave, are you scared yet?
