Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 81 The Great Peacock King

Peacock King, a formidable figure in the original novel "Covering the Sky," is a powerful demon clan member. He is known for his loyalty and righteousness. In order to help Yan Ruyu, he rushed to the Ji family's gate, smashed the Ji family's plaque, and overturned the Ji family's gate!
Let alone ancient aristocratic families, even a small sect could be considered a life-or-death feud!
As a renowned ancient family in the Eastern Wilderness, how could the Ji family possibly sit idly by?

The powerful figures of the Ji family immediately took action, searching for the Peacock King's whereabouts, intending to kill him to uphold the Ji family's prestige!
The powerful figures from the Wang family were discussing the Bronze Immortal Palace with the powerful figures from the Ji family when they were asked to intervene.

"The Peacock King is utterly depraved! We beg you, Brother King, to help us kill him!" The powerful figure from the Ji family personally spoke up, requesting the powerful figure from the Wang family to intervene.

Eight hundred years ago, the Peacock King swept across the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness without equal, but this powerful figure from the royal family became famous even earlier, having traveled through the Eastern Wilderness a thousand years ago, and is of a higher generation.

If Wang Teng hadn't suddenly appeared and traveled to the Eastern Wilderness, the powerful figures of the Ji family would probably have thought he had already perished. Who would have thought he was still alive?

"The Wang family has no grudges with the demon race..." a powerful figure from the Wang family said, politely declining the Ji family's request.

Although an alliance with the Ji family can bring many benefits to the Wang family, it does not mean that they can offend other forces in order to form an alliance with the Ji family.

The demon race is also quite powerful, with several powerful figures occupying territory in the Eastern Wilderness and also having their own territory in the Southern Ridge.

The Ji family is powerful, based in the Eastern Wilderness, and can contend with the demon race. They are fearless even when facing powerful demons.

However, this does not mean that the Wang family can do the same.

This place is not the Northern Plains after all. If a powerful member of the Wang family is blocked by two or more powerful members of the demon race, Wang Teng's safety cannot be guaranteed.

As a protector, his sole purpose is to protect Wang Teng!

This goal even surpasses the protection of the royal family!
"After all, my current existence is merely as Wang Teng's protector, and participating in a fair competition like the Bronze Immortal Palace is already the limit. I hope my fellow Daoist from the Ji family will understand," said the powerful ancestor of the Wang family, refusing the Ji family's request.

"Never mind, I was presumptuous. Brother Wang is indeed not suited to participate." The powerful figure from the Ji family sighed softly, indicating his understanding.

If Ji Haoyue's protectors were to encounter such a situation, it would indeed be inappropriate for them to intervene, whether out of their own intention to protect her or out of family feuds.

"Please rest assured, Brother Wang, this matter will not affect the cooperation between our two families in the Bronze Immortal Palace," the powerful figure from the Ji family promised, before continuing his search for the Peacock King.

The powerful patriarch of the Wang family sighed.

The Eastern Wilderness is truly a land of outstanding people and abundant resources!
How long have you been here?
So many things have happened!
It's the Bronze Immortal Palace again, and powerful figures seeking revenge against ancient clans!
He'd never experienced anything this exciting in all the time he'd spent in Kitahara!

Of course, the most important thing right now is to find Wang Teng!
This kid isn't at the Ji family's place right now; he's out with Ji Haoyue.

"Brother Ji, listen to my advice, it's not too late for you to go home now," Wang Teng said, looking at the son-in-law's divine body.

Wang Teng knew that the Peacock King's next move would be to target this Eastern Wilderness Divine Body.

For his own safety and that of his divine body, he decided to persuade Ji Haoyue to go back.

"I won't go back! I want to see if the Peacock King really dares to come to the Tai Xuan Sect and attack me, just like the rumors say!" Ji Haoyue said confidently.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently into the distance, his flowing purple robes giving him an otherworldly air.

To be honest, just looking at Ji Haoyue's performance, one would definitely think he's incredibly powerful.

But who could have known that such a powerful and arrogant man would almost become a son-in-law in the future?
This is completely inconsistent with his behavior of daring to steal an imperial weapon in the Four Extremes Secret Realm! And now, he is so confident in staying in the Tai Xuan Sect.

But Wang Teng knew it was useless!

He quietly distanced himself from Xingfeng, thinking that he was just an innocent passerby and he mustn't let it affect him.

really!

As night fell, a ferocious bird tore through the sky, its sharp claws falling and crushing a mountain peak.

With its wings drooping low, even the moonlight seemed to be lifted up, unable to fall, casting large shadows over the sky and earth.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Within the Tai Xuan Sect, several Supreme Elders unleashed their natal magic weapons, unleashing various colored lights as they shot into the sky, attempting to tear through the darkness!

However, the wings that cast endless darkness merely swept across the area, and the light dissipated, along with some people's natal magical artifacts, which shattered along with them.

It's as if it's a rule of heaven and earth, under the wings, no light can be tolerated!

"I will not attack those from the Tai Xuan realm, I will only kill those from the Ji family!" The ferocious bird spoke in human language, exuding an aura of dominance!
Xingfeng, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family, roared angrily, holding a replica of the Void Mirror, and unleashed a powerful handprint that shook the void, attempting to break the wings that were blocking the moonlight.

However, with a gentle scratch from the sharp claws, everything—whether it was the Void Handprint, the replica of the Void Mirror, or the Supreme Elder of the Ji family who made the move—shattered in an instant.

"The Ji family! Nothing special!" The ferocious bird laughed loudly, flying arrogantly into the distance, bathed in moonlight.

It wasn't until he had flown a thousand miles away that people could vaguely see his complete figure.

It was a giant peacock, with a wingspan of hundreds of miles, trailing long tail feathers, spreading its wings and soaring between heaven and earth, wild and unrestrained.

The events of that night shook the southern regions of the Eastern Wilderness.

No one expected the Peacock King to be so bold!
Having just smashed the Ji family's plaque and overturned the Ji family's gate, he rushed to the Tai Xuan Sect, tore apart one of the Ji family's Supreme Elders under the moonlight, single-handedly overpowered Tai Xuan, and then retreated unscathed!
It was precisely because of this incident that many people were reminded of the Peacock King's past achievements.

Eight hundred years ago, the Peacock King swept across the southern regions of the Eastern Wilderness, and has never been defeated since his debut.

Even before the Eight Hundred, the Peacock King had attacked the Yao Guang Holy Land, killing two of its Supreme Elders, which prompted the Yao Guang Holy Lord to personally intervene and fight him for three days and three nights before both sides finally retreated!
Although no news of the outcome has been released, the fact that the Peacock King was able to fight the Holy Lord of Yaoguang for three days and three nights and retreat safely is enough to prove his strength!
This was the Peacock King's most glorious achievement, and it was this battle that established the Peacock King's status as a powerful figure among the demon race!

Now, he has reappeared in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness and made a move against the ancient aristocratic families. This explosive method reminds people of eight hundred years ago.

Within the Tai Xuan Sect, several prominent members of the Ji family prepared to leave with Ji Haoyue.

This place is no longer safe. No one knows whether the Peacock King will return after learning that Ji Haoyue is here.

Before leaving, they found Wang Teng and wanted to take him with them.

"The powerful figure from the Wang family instructed us to take you with us to prevent the Peacock King from targeting us," a respected elder from the Ji family said warmly.
