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

Chapter 86 Nangong Zheng appears, wanting to save the three.
"I'll try my best to find excuses to keep the Peacock King at bay and prevent him from attacking you two. You two find a chance to escape!" Wang Teng secretly transmitted his voice to Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue.

It is actually very dangerous to transmit your voice in front of a powerful being, let alone a supreme being like the Peacock King.

However, although the Peacock King heard Wang Teng's telepathic message, he did not react at all.

Because Wang Teng was also making empty promises to the Peacock King.

"Senior Peacock King, as you know, that kid has a special physique, the legendary Ancient Sacred Body, a well-known useless physique. At best, he can only reach the Dao Palace Secret Realm in the future. The Ji family has a son-in-law who is at the Dao Palace Secret Realm... How uncomfortable will the Ji family head be!"

Wang Teng transmitted his voice, painting a picture of a pie for the Peacock King, depicting the Ji family head's distressed state.

Sure enough, the Peacock King smiled upon hearing Wang Teng's description.

Moreover, it seems that the success rate is not low. These two people have already gone through thick and thin together. He may not need to do anything. Just letting them live might be enough to incur the wrath of the Ji family head.

Of course, he never intended to kill Ji Ziyue and Ye Fan, as they were not the culprits.

"Boy, where is the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart within you?" Peacock King looked at Ye Fan, a smile on his handsome face, and asked.

"Would you believe me if I said it ran away?" Ye Fan asked tentatively.

"I believe it, I saw it for myself." The Peacock King smiled exceptionally brightly, as if he had seen an old friend he hadn't seen for many days, and he was genuinely happy.

“Senior Peacock King, you are a powerful figure renowned throughout the Eastern Wilderness. You should be fighting a great figure like the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, not us…” Ji Ziyue said softly.

She had been hunted for a long time and was in very poor condition. Her once beautiful face looked pale and haggard.

"I will not attack you," the Peacock King said, his hands behind his back.

"Then please release me too, and I'll take them both back to the Ji family..." Wang Teng suggested in a low voice.

Ignoring Wang Teng's suggestion, the Peacock King looked at Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, wishing they could get married right now, have their babies for ten months, and then he, the Peacock King, would personally carry the grandson of the Ji family patriarch to visit the Ji family...

Unfortunately, Ye Fan is still too young.

At least that's how it appears on the surface.

The Peacock King's gaze was deep, sweeping over Ye Fan, then over Ji Ziyue, before finally looking into the distance.

"Nangong Zheng, now that you're here, why don't you show yourself?"

The Peacock King looked into the distant void and whispered.

In the sky, petals fluttered, each one sparkling. A path paved with petals descended from the horizon and landed before the crowd, the fragrance of flowers refreshing and invigorating.

To be honest, if you only look at this entrance effect, it's really easy to mistake it for the appearance of a powerful figure from the Jade Pool Holy Land.

But who would have thought that such a powerful being, whose entrance was accompanied by flower petal effects, was actually a man, and a burly, white-haired man at that.

Amidst the dazzling light, at the end of the petal-lined avenue, stood a man in blue robes. He was tall and imposing, with eyes like stars, and stood with his head held high.

The powerful human race, Nangong Zheng, has been famous for a long time. He cultivates the Longevity Technique and is said to live on plants and eat flowers and grasses. He is never short of various plants around him.

"Eight hundred years have passed, and the Peacock King is still as dashing as ever! It seems like only yesterday that you fought against the heroes of the Southern Region and clashed with the Holy Lord of Yao Guang." The burly man in blue robes, Nangong Zheng, spoke.

He looked to be in his early twenties, with a tall and imposing figure, but a full head of white hair, giving him an otherworldly appearance, like a legendary immortal. "Why say so much? You've come forward to save people, haven't you? Tell me, of these three, which one do you want to take?" The Peacock King interrupted Nangong Zheng's politeness and asked directly.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Peacock King, I've been entrusted to take all three of them with me," Nangong Zheng said calmly.

"Take them all? You have quite the nerve!" The Peacock King chuckled.

"King Peacock, you and I are both powerful beings. It's shameless of us to attack a junior. Why don't we put aside our differences and explore the Bronze Immortal Palace together?" Nangong Zheng asked calmly.

"Nangong Zheng, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you! I have plenty of lifespan, unlike you who don't have much time left, and I have no need to try my luck at the Bronze Immortal Palace." The Peacock King spoke sharply, directly rejecting Nangong Zheng's suggestion.

Nangong Zheng remained unperturbed, still smiling, "That's an opportunity to become an immortal. The Ji family, the Yao Guang Holy Land, and the Jiang family, among other forces, are unwilling to miss it. Are you willing to let it slip by?"

The Peacock King sneered upon hearing this, dismissing it with disdain.

Throughout history, there have been so many legends about immortals, and he has sought to verify many of them, but in the end, how many people have actually become immortals?

Even those who are rumored to have become immortals left behind tombs, the meaning of which is self-evident.

"Throughout history, even the great emperors of antiquity have never become immortals. Do you and I, with our limited abilities, even deserve to explore the Bronze Immortal Palace and glimpse the path to immortality through it?" The Peacock King spoke without any mercy, criticizing Nangong Zheng while also including himself in the discussion.

Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Peacock King, he sees things so rationally."

However, he couldn't very well say that Nangong Zheng was being unrealistic, since the saying "The Great Immortal of the Second Immortal" was still a long-standing meme circulating in the "Covering the Sky" forum.

Throughout the entire story of "Covering the Sky," everyone's goal is to pursue that elusive path to immortality. Among them are powerful beings like Emperor Ye, who has lived nine lifetimes in reverse, and the Ruthless Great Emperor; there are also beings like the Undying Heavenly Phoenix and the Beginningless Great Emperor, who block the gap between the Immortal Realm and reality; there are also ancient emperors who have transformed into forbidden zones to await the opportunity to ascend to immortality; and even a powerful second-tier immortal like Nangong Zheng wants to seize the opportunity to pursue the impossible...

It is precisely because of the pursuit of those people that the path to immortality in the world of "Covering the Sky" seems so alluring.

As everyone knows, before the events of "Covering the Sky," immortals and emperors were nothing more than ants.

After the novel "Covering the Sky," the strongest individuals were often given the title of Emperor, and all living beings aspired to become immortals.

The Peacock King stood on the ground, his figure slender, facing Nangong Zheng in the air, his expression unchanged.

“Since the Peacock King is unwilling, I, Nangong Zheng, will not force him. However, I will take these three people with me. I have been entrusted with this task, and I must fulfill it,” Nangong Zheng said.

"Then let me see if you have the ability! A person about to be buried is still trying to play with flower petals like a young girl, how laughable!" The Peacock King laughed arrogantly.

He left marks on Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue with his fingers, so that he could track them down in the future.

As for Wang Teng...

The Peacock King glanced at his important hostage and smiled. "Have you ever experienced what it's like to wander through the stars?"

Wang Teng was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

The next moment, stars suddenly appeared!
It was as if a starry sky had broken through the heavens and was projected onto this world.

Wang Teng appeared in the very center of a large star, facing this vast sea of ​​stars...
