It took a full half-incense stick's time for the Peacock Demon King to recover from his shock.
He first bowed to Wang Zheng again, then extended a heartfelt invitation:
"Young friend, I will keep your words in mind today. If you have the time, please do come to Hongsawaddy for a small gathering. I will certainly prepare a warm welcome and await your arrival..."
Although he spoke politely, the demon king didn't really mean it that way.
After hearing Wang Zheng's words, the Peacock Demon King became even more determined. Even if it wasn't for his own cultivation, he would definitely "invite" Wang Zheng to his territory once this matter was over.
If he doesn't want to, we'll tie him up even if we have to!
After all, whether it was his own innate supernatural power or the theory of the Five Elements he had heard today, he probably would never have been able to understand these things in his lifetime if Wang Zheng hadn't revealed them to him.
At this moment, even this audacious and peerless demon king was filled with lingering fear for his reckless cultivation.
He was still marveling to himself that if Wang Zheng hadn't been so naive and easily revealed all these ancient secrets, he probably wouldn't have been able to cultivate the ancient supernatural powers of his ancestors, no matter how talented he was.
At this moment, the Peacock Demon King's gaze toward Wang Zheng was exceptionally fervent, the longing in his eyes even surpassing his pursuit of the chaotic aura.
As for the two-faced demon king who could change his mind faster than flipping through a book, Wang Zheng was naturally aware of him. Feeling a chill, he could only pretend not to see him for the time being.
However, he didn't have any good intentions, and even now he was planning to find an opportunity to kill him.
Faced with the Peacock Demon King's renewed invitation, Wang Zheng simply smiled and waved his hand.
"Let's forget about it. I dare not go to the Demon King's kingdom of strange beasts. Not to mention my grudge with the Spirit Elephant King, the person behind you just tried to capture me."
Oh, and when the Demon King goes back, remember to tell that bastard Lingxiang that when I have time, I will find him and kill him!
"I beg the Demon King to spare that traitor's life for now, out of consideration for our past friendship. I will personally go and find him later."
Having demonstrated his strength and embarrassed the Peacock Demon King, Wang Zheng continued to offer him a sweet treat.
At this moment, Wang Zheng's charlatan aura grew even stronger. His goal hadn't been achieved yet, and he was determined to continue his charade. Before the Peacock Demon King could speak, Young Master Wang proactively reminded him:
"Although this trip will certainly not be smooth, there is still hope for a turnaround."
If the Demon King still harbors a desire for the chaotic aura of water, he should pay close attention to those water-attribute Demon Kings returning from their backyards laden with spoils.
Although that aura isn't immediately useful, saving it for later cultivation, or to help the water-attribute demon king undergo a transformation, would be a good option..."
At this point, Young Master Wang paused.
Then, feigning a friendly reminder, he glanced at the ferocious beast still tempering its body in the lightning and whispered:
"By the way, speaking of fire attributes, my father is also a fire-attribute demon beast. And unlike me, he's a primordial being born from chaos, an ancient relic that survived from the prehistoric era. If the Demon King were..."
Upon hearing this, the Peacock Demon King's expression changed immediately, and his eyes clearly showed that he was quite tempted.
Wang Zheng was not courting death; he was even 100% certain that the peacock wouldn't dare to have the slightest improper thoughts.
As the saying goes, cleverness can backfire.
The more complicated a person's mind is, the more they think, and the easier it is for them to be deceived. This peacock is deep in thought and has a strong sense of self. At this moment, he clearly believes Wang Zheng's words, so how could he dare to act rashly?
The reason is simple.
If he agrees with Wang Zheng's statement, then this ferocious beast is now an ancient demon with terrifying and unknown strength, and should not be underestimated.
Just by looking at the ferocious beast that had basically transformed into human form with its fiery red hair, how could anyone not know that the other party was of the fire element?
What would an ancient demon king with the fire attribute want with the chaotic water attribute energy in these ruins that counters him...?
If you don't believe me... that's fine too. If everything Wang Zheng said is a lie, then there's no fire-attribute chaotic aura in this unknown demon king's body. In that case, there's even less need to make an enemy of him.
Moreover, regardless of Wang Zheng's true intentions or what he wanted to do with me, the moment he said those words, it was clear that this kid had been instigating me to attack his father from the very beginning.
It seems the relationship between this "father and son" is quite delicate.
At this moment, the Peacock Demon King's thoughts were exceptionally clear.
Do not act rashly! Observe the situation calmly!
So the Peacock Demon King pretended to bow to the ferocious beast and said with a smile:
"Since this senior is a powerful figure in our demon race, I, as the Demon King, would naturally not dare to harbor such thoughts. Young friend, please do not try to test me. I am not that kind of person!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng knew that he was safe.
He only needs to stall for these last few minutes to fully condense his Dharma form, after which he will soar into the sky, as free as a fish leaping in the vast sea and as boundless as a bird in the boundless sky.
However, Wang Zheng's joy lasted only a few seconds before the unparalleled thunder finally subsided, and the thunderclouds in the sky began to gradually dissipate.
At this moment, the ferocious beast, clad in a crimson robe, had fully transformed and was now hovering in mid-air, exuding an aura of dominance over the world.
When he opened his blood-red eyes, he gave the peacock a deep look, and then snorted coldly.
"You're quite sensible!"
With just one glance, the Peacock Demon King was instantly struck as if by lightning, and staggered back several steps.
Are these ancient demon races really that terrifying?
What kind of look is that?
Disdain, mockery, ferocity, tyranny, bloodthirstiness, cruelty...
Those eyes held the vicissitudes of many years, possessing both an aura of looking down upon the world and arrogance, as well as an incomparably domineering and intense killing intent that sent chills down one's spine!
The feeling, as if it came from endless darkness, made the Peacock Demon King shiver.
Is this really the mythical beast Wang Zheng was talking about, or a ferocious beast?
Oh, right, that kid just said that his father was also one of the beings that were once sealed away. In other words, he was also one of the 108 ferocious beasts that once ruled the prehistoric world.
However, it is different from those great demons who have already completely departed from the heavens.
He's persevered until now!
Regardless of how much fear the Peacock Demon King harbored, the ancient demon king, hovering in mid-air, merely glanced at the entrance before retracting his sharp wooden pipe, ignoring the two demon kings who were already about to leave the hall.
Instead, he fixed his gaze on Young Master Wang with a hint of mockery, and then slowly asked:
"You seem eager to see me make a move, huh? My good son..."
