In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

"what!"

Ji Yuanbing leaped from the mountaintop, his hair disheveled, his body covered in knife wounds, and crimson blood seeping out.

The three consecutive blows weren't enough to kill him, but the humiliation drove him even more insane.

Having lost two sons and suffered further humiliation, his face was now contorted with rage, like a demon. He took a step forward and reappeared on the dueling platform, his divine power surging forth, ready to strike again.

"Stop! Come back to the Ji family immediately!"

The eldest son of the Ji family, seeing the Peacock King carrying the Chaos Green Lotus, naturally knew why he had come.

Normally, they would not be afraid, but with the Yao Guang Holy Land watching them like tigers, the two powerful figures remained expressionless, their coldness impossible to conceal.

The two sides have been competing for a long time in the Southern Region. He believed that if they could lose the divine body Ji Haoyue and two powerful beings here today, the Yao Guang Holy Land would definitely have to join forces with the Peacock King of the Demon Clan.

Even though two powerful figures from the Yao Guang clan died at the hands of the Peacock King hundreds of years ago, the Yao Guang Saint had no choice but to temporarily tolerate the need to weaken the Ji family.

"The war between the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ji family is not far off." This was the common thought among many cultivators.

Even the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, who has always been neutral and walks peacefully among various forces, knows that no one can stop the war between the Ji family and Yaoguang.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi sighed softly. The Eastern Wilderness was likely to face turmoil again, and countless innocent people would die in the war between the two extreme powers.

Tai Xuan Sect originally wanted to reconcile the two sides and did not want to see a battle between powerful figures or even a confrontation between imperial weapons.

But now, almost all of the Ji family's most outstanding younger generation has been wiped out, and it is unknown whether the remaining divine body can be saved.

Even if they are saved, how much confidence will they have left to conquer the Emperor's Path?

The Holy Son of Yaoguang went too far; the Ji family is definitely unwilling to compromise or admit defeat.

The Ji family originally thought that if the younger generation of both sides fought, there might be serious injuries or even one death. However, as long as Ji Haoyue was there, the next generation of the Ji family would be able to hold their ground, and the Ji family would still have the ambition to conquer the Eastern Wilderness.

But who would have thought that the Holy Son of Yaoguang would make a move that killed four people and left one person's fate unknown.

Zi Fu, Wan Chu, and the Feng family immediately retreated, keeping a safe distance, clearly indicating that they would not participate in this chaotic battle.

The Wang family seemed to have a close connection with the Ji family.

Poker Face shielded Lü Yao behind him, and the patterns on a gleaming silver longsword became visible, exuding an astonishing aura.

"Should we join forces with the Peacock King to keep the Ji family here?"

The Dragon Head Peak Master flew over and stood next to the poker-faced man, cautiously watching the two powerful figures from the Ji family.

To everyone's surprise, Lü Yao shook his head: "I can't keep him."

"The Ji family has a sacred weapon, but didn't you bring the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron?" The Dragon Head Peak Master transmitted his voice. He thought that Lu Yao said he couldn't stay because the Ji family's powerful figure had brought a sacred weapon, that Void Realm replica.

Lu Yao looked at the Peacock King in the sky: "Since the Chaos Green Lotus has been brought here, it means that the Ji family's Void Mirror is most likely also on their person. A person like the Peacock King would not travel with an imperial weapon without a reason."

Moreover, the clash of imperial weapons is far too dangerous; even powerful beings could perish under the might of an emperor.

"What? The Ji family also brought imperial weapons?"

The Dragon Head Peak Master was startled. In the Eastern Wilderness now, one not only needs to carry a sacred weapon but also an imperial weapon when going out?

Although Poker Face still maintained a cold and hard expression, he gripped the knife even tighter, protecting Lü Yao and preventing Ji Yuanbing from launching a surprise attack with the Great Void Technique to kill him.

Most of the ancient sects had already realized the complexity of the situation and feared that the fighting between the powerful figures would easily wipe them out, so they led their disciples and chieftains away from the place.

The three powerful figures of the Tai Xuan Sect—the Sect Leader, the Deputy Sect Leader, and the Supreme Elder—stood side by side in mid-air, their expressions solemn as they watched the chaotic scene.

"The Peacock King brought imperial weapons, probably specifically to annihilate the Ji family's divine bodies and powerful beings," said the Supreme Elder of Tai Xuan.

"No way? The Peacock King's combat power is astonishing. He killed two Supreme Elders of the Ji family without needing an Imperial Weapon, right? Could it be that the Ji family is now carrying the Void Mirror?" the Deputy Sect Leader said, his words tinged with uncertainty.

"It shouldn't be that bad. Carrying a sacred mirror is already terrifying enough, how could they possibly bring out an imperial weapon that suppresses the family's foundation?" The Supreme Elder shook his head, indicating that it was impossible.

"Alright, no matter what, we can't let this turmoil affect the Tai Xuan Sect." The Tai Xuan Sect leader looked solemn as he took out a total of 360 purple beads, each one resembling a star in the sky.

The bead was thrown out and immediately disappeared.

It is closely integrated with the void, with layers of Dao patterns laid out to form an array, preventing the power of the sacred artifact from affecting the Tai Xuan Sect.

Keep in mind that this is within the Tai Xuan territory. When imperial weapons clash, it's uncertain whether the Eastern Wilderness will sink, but the Tai Xuan Sect will definitely sink.

The deputy sect leader and the supreme elder exchanged glances and then simultaneously drew upon the celestial power, channeling it into the purple bead.

More and more disciples, elders, and sages arrived to jointly guide the star power.

In that void, a trace of holy might began to permeate, though it wasn't very strong.

Upon seeing this, many ancient religious practitioners retreated from the area.

Someone with knowledge of the Tai Xuan Sect's background pointed out the secret artifact of this formation:

"These are the 360 ​​Star Beads of the Tai Xuan Sect's Star Peak. Legend has it that they were crafted by an ancient demigod and already possess some of the power of a sacred artifact, second only to the mysterious magic weapon crafted from the stars by the Tai Xuan Sect."

"Quickly, hide behind that magical artifact."

However, they hadn't witnessed the clash of imperial weapons for thousands of years and had forgotten the terror of imperial artifacts. Even a slight aftershock was something that a sacred artifact couldn't withstand, let alone their magical artifacts, which weren't even sacred artifacts.

At this moment, the Peacock King descended step by step from the clouds, his palm trembling slightly as the Chaos Lotus fell, wisps of chaotic energy collapsing and crushing several mountains.

The Peacock King said, "Ten days ago, your Ji family's divine body, carrying the Void Emperor Mirror, chased my demon princess for 100,000 li, saying she lacked an Emperor Weapon. I have brought the Chaos Green Lotus with me. Does your Ji family want it?"

Yan Ruyu possesses the Chaos Green Lotus, so the Ji family temporarily allowed the divine body to carry the imperial weapon as well, in order to counter the Chaos Green Lotus.

"Hmph! Get out of my way!"

The eldest son of the Ji family was worried about Ji Haoyue's life and death and was unwilling to fight the Peacock King. He opened a void rift, and many Ji family knights and disciples wanted to leave this place.

"Where do you think you're going—hoo—!"

But when the Peacock King roared, his magical power was overwhelming. Wherever the sound waves passed, mountains and rivers shattered, and the void passage opened by the old lady of the Ji family collapsed in an instant.

Ji Yuanbing snapped out of his daze, his divine power surged, and a protective shield appeared in front of him, blocking the sound waves.

"My Ji family has no intention of fighting with you here. If you continue to pester us, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The eldest son of the Ji family unleashed his divine power, his white hair stood on end, and his green robe fluttered in the wind.

The Peacock King stood on the dueling platform, smiling gently: "Your divine body injured my demon princess and stole the Chaos Green Lotus. Did you ever consider whether the demon race would be impolite towards the Ji family? I know the Ji family has the Void Ancient Mirror; you can take it out!"

His words were understated, but the sharpness within them was obvious to everyone.

He knew that the Ji family's divine body carried the Void Ancient Mirror, which is why he borrowed the Chaos Green Lotus from Yan Ruyu.

That kid often chases after Yan Ruyu while wearing this thing.

The Peacock King glanced again at the Dragon Head Peak Master, the Great Inkstone Peak Master, and Lü Yao on the other side of the dueling platform, and said:

"Eight hundred years ago, I fought against the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, and then killed two more powerful figures from Yaoguang. Why not take this opportunity to settle this score together?"

Lu Yao slowly shook his head: "The grudges of eight hundred years ago will be settled one day, but you are still a bit short if you want to fight two against one. I, Yao Guang, am aboveboard and will take revenge on my own. I will not join forces with others, much less with the Ji family."

His last words were full of disdain for the Ji family.

After saying this, he led the people of Yaoguang Holy Land and retreated towards the direction where the people of Taixuan Sect were.

"boom!"

An antique mirror suddenly appeared, with blurry ancient engravings on its surface.

"Go, you go first." The eldest of the Ji family, with an imperial weapon hanging from his head, opened another passage for the Ji family disciples to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, please come with me." He then instructed the Wang family to steer the magic boat, and together with the Ji family disciples, they left this place.
