Wang Zheng now truly believes that these guys feared by the ferocious beasts are hiding in their caves.
While judging by combat strength seems unlikely, it's possible that the other party is a top-tier being with high status and power, wielding the power of life and death over a particular cave.
After all, no one has stipulated that the powerful figures in these grotto-heavens cannot personally take action.
At this moment, apart from the guards who had already been dismissed, everyone present was a prominent figure in the country, so Wang Zheng was not afraid of leaking any information.
Upon hearing Wang Zheng's question, Huang Qi and Yan Yan, as those who had personally experienced the incident, suddenly realized what was going on and became extremely interested in the topic as well.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Li Guofeng frowned and pondered for a long time before finally letting out a slow sigh.
"We don't really have any clue about this sudden change, but based on our contact with the people inside the cave, it doesn't seem like their doing."
They probably don't have that capability. If they could really directly affect the ruins on Earth, they would have done it themselves; there would be no need for them to go through us to try and gain any related benefits.
Moreover, these cultivators from other grotto-heavens simply have different cultivation methods than us; they don't possess such supernatural abilities. Those who could possibly have such terrifying methods are probably…”
Although he didn't explain himself clearly, the worry on his face was obvious to everyone.
However, Wang Zheng did not give up and continued to press for answers:
"Whether they are cultivators from the Cave Heaven or not, since these important figures want to get involved in the affairs of this ruin and have secretly taken care of our Chinese Awakened Ones, why do they let those extraterrestrial demons go unchecked?"
Faced with Wang Zheng's persistent questioning, Li Guofeng, a usually refined and courteous leader, uncharacteristically swore.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I want to know too! Do you really think I'm an expert? You were there, why didn't you ask?"
If you have nothing else to do, get out of here and get ready to come back with us in a bit. We'll call your principal to pick you up!
Don't think that just because you're strong now and have grown wings, you can do whatever you want. If you dare to run around recklessly and put yourself in danger again, I'll cut off your university's funding!
'Tsk tsk tsk, maybe I've been overthinking it all along? Judging from the situation, it seems that Old Li and the others really don't know much about this cave.'
Sigh~ It seems their lives aren't exactly happy either. This immense burden ultimately falls on the shoulders of these two big shots; the pressure must be immense...
Seeing that Li Guofeng's expression seemed genuine, with his brows furrowed into a deep knot, Wang Zheng knew he truly didn't understand the reason. So, Wang Zheng suppressed his ulterior motives and stopped asking questions.
Having his abilities acknowledged, and then being intimidated by Old Li using Nanjing University's educational funds, Young Master Wang couldn't help but feel resentful.
His thieving eyes kept scanning Zhao Yucai, his face full of provocation.
"That old man Li got angry and even made threats. How dare a military region commander interfere in the affairs of our Ministry of Education? Old Zhao, quickly confront him!"
However, these two leaders were ultimately thinking about the future of China, and Zhao Yucai certainly wouldn't hold such a grudge in public. Seeing Wang Zheng's constipated expression, he simply asked:
"What's wrong? Judging from your expression, you seem to know something. Just say it, don't hold back..."
Wang Zheng did indeed have something to say, and at this moment he had to admire Old Zhao's observational skills.
After thinking for a long time, Young Master Wang finally decided that he should explain all the relevant information about the Peacock Demon King to them.
It's always good to be prepared, so you don't suffer a great loss later.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Zheng slowly spoke:
"The reason I'm so concerned about the Peacock Demon King is because I saw other information during my mortal transformation."
Didn't I mention before that I might have entered the ancient memories of that ferocious beast when I was transforming into a mortal?
Although that memory was rather fragmented, besides information about various powerful demons, it happened to contain information about the first peacock in the world…
Unlike modern biology, in the mythological history of that time, the peacock was the offspring of the ancient divine bird Phoenix. Not only was it powerful, but its innate divine power of five-colored divine light was also capable of sweeping away anything.
Legend has it that it was later subdued by a saint of the Western religion during a battle and became his guardian mount and closed disciple.
I thought about it for a long time and felt that the Peacock Demon King might also have some inexplicable relationship with these mysterious forces behind the scenes.
After all, in this ruin, the Peacock Demon King truly used both blue and yellow divine powers; previously, he only had one blue light.
That's why I suspect that the Peacock Demon King is colluding with the Cave Heaven, and that giant hand is the top cultivator in the Cave Heaven.
Although I don't know what to do now, and I'm not sure if the information I've seen is really related to the Peacock Demon King, I still feel that I should speak out about this and prepare as soon as possible..."
Wang Zheng said so much in one breath, not caring whether he would expose anything as a result.
However, he still held his breath and stared intently at Lao Li and Lao Zhao, as if trying to glean something from their eyes.
However, both leaders ultimately acknowledged Wang Zheng's human identity.
They did not become suspicious of Wang Zheng because of this new information. After all, Wang Zheng was willing to say such things at this time for the sake of China. Otherwise, no one would know if he didn't say it.
The two didn't even discuss this topic at the moment; they simply nodded to indicate that they understood and told Wang Zheng to go down and take good care of himself.
He said he would definitely pay more attention to this guy from now on, and then fell silent...
This concludes the report on the ruins. Apart from Wang Zheng, who possessed the most information, the other grandmasters were all filled with shock and bewilderment.
After Sun Zhongren and Wang Zheng and the others left, only Li Guofeng and Zhao Yucai remained in the large conference room.
"call--"
Li Guofeng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and with a somewhat serious expression, asked Zhao Yucai:
"Old Zhao, do you think there's any truth to what Wang Zheng just said? Can the visualized object really become a physical entity and transcend tribulations?"
If what he says is true, and if—I mean, if—everyone's physical manifestations can take human form, then what are we cultivators? Are we merely nourishment for these so-called gods to revive?
