Yan Yan was speechless in the face of her old friend's teasing.
What's wrong with this guy? He's analyzing the situation seriously, so why is he slandering someone out of thin air?
I, a grandmaster of my generation, have no pride...
However, despite the jokes, Master Yan, who hailed from Jiangnan Province, had heard about Wang Zheng's reputation. After thinking for a moment, he finally asked:
"Then what do you suggest we do now? These greedy demon kings were already attacking this hall like madmen, and now Wang Zheng has brought over these old demon king corpses."
If this continues, they'll all swarm around us like hyenas drawn by the smell of blood. If this goes on for a few more rounds, we won't be able to hold out.
"How dare you ask for help? Nobody's idle, and besides, there are way more demon kings on the field than we are..."
Seeing that his friend was confused by concern and still hadn't grasped his meaning, Huang Qi couldn't help but swear for the first time.
"What are you begging for? Did Wang Zheng say he wanted you to watch over the demon king's corpse?"
How do you know Wang Zheng just threw it at you for safekeeping? What if it was for... you know...?
Besides, if these demon kings want to charge, just let them. You can't even control yourself, how can you control so many others…”
Huang Qi hesitated, then glanced at the main hall, which was now completely silent.
Looking at the shattered palace gate, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy again.
Seeing Huang Qi's expression, Yan Yan understood his friend's meaning, but he couldn't accept it for a moment.
"You mean to let that king... How can that be? What if..."
"There's no 'what if'!"
Huang Qi's gaze was firm.
"We naturally believe in that little guy, but since you saw it with your own eyes, it's best to be cautious!"
Moreover, with so many demon kings gathering here, we were already unable to defend ourselves, let alone with me, this burden, in tow.
"Alright then, I'm currently the highest-ranking officer in our squad, and I'll take full responsibility for all the consequences. If he blames you later, you can all just say it was my order. Anyway, I'm already crippled; I can't handle that kind of responsibility!"
Yan Yan was extremely anxious: "What kind of nonsense are you spouting! You..."
Huang Qi ignored him completely and interrupted him.
"Execute the order, Lieutenant General Yan Yan!"
...
Although they didn't know what was behind that main hall, they also didn't know why the two old leaders suddenly changed their expressions.
But seeing Huang Qi's somber expression, and even considering the matter of accountability, taking it all on himself, everyone knew there must be some secrets involved, and they shouldn't ask too many questions.
Finally, at Huang Qi's insistence, they all began to retreat, and soon they had retreated to a corner near the side hall, where they waited patiently...
Wang Zheng, who was mingling in the center of the battlefield, naturally saw the retreat of Master Yan and the others, but he didn't say much, nor did he go back to the door to stop them.
It was just a pity that the extra demon king's physical body probably couldn't be preserved.
Moreover, since that ferocious beast is unwilling to come out, it might as well not come out at all, so as to avoid any misunderstandings.
As for his safety... Wang Zheng felt that even if all the extraordinary demon kings here, or even himself, were to die, this guy would probably be fine.
Instead of worrying about this old relic, we might as well take advantage of the present moment to make as many benefits as possible!
Since we can't keep all of the Demon King's corpse, let's just collect more of its inner cores, since those things are quite precious.
I've already eaten most of the spiritual fruits I dug up in these ruins. If I don't take advantage of this time to get more demon king inner cores, when will I ever find such a good opportunity again?
While he was thinking, Wang Zheng saw another demon king being blasted in front of him. Severely injured, it was the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack. It was a rare chance.
Young Master Wang, the villain, filed a false accusation first, and shouted loudly.
"How dare you ambush me! You have some nerve! Come and die!"
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the next second, it unleashed unparalleled momentum, charging forward and crushing its opponent.
...
Amidst the endless chaos of battle, the grand hall standing at the very center of this ruined celestial palace remained dilapidated and silent.
The corpse of the demon king that had been left at the door has now been devoured by various demon kings.
After all, they have been devouring each other since the time of the alien beasts. Although they are not too lacking in manners when they reach the demon king stage, that only applies to some of the top demon kings.
At this moment, even if the inner core of the demon king had already been extracted, no one would miss out on such an unexpected benefit from the fresh flesh and blood of the demon king.
After devouring this highly nutritious "sashimi," the four demon kings at the main hall's entrance exchanged a glance before rushing into the dilapidated hall.
These guys are seasoned veterans; they were among the so-called "Seven Saints of the Yellow Sea."
As for why there are only four people left now, it's because they died in the melee.
Moreover, these individuals were only of average ability to begin with, barely managing to get by by sticking together. They gave themselves nicknames to embellish their reputations, but in reality, they were just ordinary people.
However, since they arrived early, they naturally witnessed Wang Zheng's rampage after emerging from the group. Now that they finally had a chance, Wang Zheng had no time to worry about this place and naturally wanted to go forward and investigate.
The four people formed a formation of three in front and three behind, and carefully entered the main hall. They quickly disappeared from sight and vanished without a trace, as if they had suddenly disappeared.
After the four demon kings entered the hall, there was no further movement or battle.
The two masters who knew the truth also looked tense. Yan Yan was so anxious that she paced back and forth, afraid that something unexpected might happen and affect Wang Zheng.
Huang Qi, who was more attentive, instructed Cao Rui and Sun Feng to keep a close eye on the situation on the field and to be ready to rescue Wang Zheng if he encountered any danger.
Since everyone here is a master, they naturally understand how to read people's expressions and demeanor.
I had heard before that Wang Zheng suddenly rushed out of the main hall, and that Master Huangqi's decision to retreat was also vague.
Considering that they were being asked to pay attention to Wang Zheng and prepare to provide support, they knew that there must be something in the main hall that was closely related to that genius boy.
But even after this group of people had been preparing for a long time, there was absolutely no movement in the main hall, not even the slightest disturbance, and not even a single demon king came out.
This result was clearly beyond Huang Qi's expectations, but in the eyes of the other demon kings, they believed that the four of them must have obtained a fortuitous opportunity and were currently digesting it inside, unwilling to come out.
The idea, once it appeared, stirred their restless hearts like a reptile.
As a result, within just a few minutes, five more rogue demon kings emerged from different directions and rushed directly into the dilapidated hall.
Among them were the burly demon king and the woman who were the first to strike up a conversation with Wang Zheng on the outside.
However, their fate... well, it wasn't much different from the previous ones.
