The story of "Covering the Sky" begins with checking in with the Void Emperor's Blood

Chapter 82 The Peacock King's Challenge (Fifth Update, Seeking First Subscription)

"Then...should we ask the old Taoist priest to lend a hand?"

The Crow Taoist hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Given the situation, if we leave it unattended, it will probably be captured soon."

"No need for that, let it be."

Chen Yu shook his head and refused the Crow Taoist: "My friend is very lucky. This little storm is nothing to him. He definitely won't die."

"Just a little bit of trouble?"

The Crow Taoist opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated, and looking at Chen Yu's appearance in front of him, he ultimately didn't say anything more.

In his view, the scene before him was already quite exaggerated.

Possessing the Ji Family Imperial Scripture, the Void Scripture, and the supreme divine material, the Source of the Mother Qi of All Things, such an opportunity would tempt anyone.

Most importantly, the person who possesses these things is merely a minor cultivator at the Sea of ​​Wheels level. In a place like Tai Xuan, anyone could come up and trample on him.

A cultivator from the Sea of ​​Wheels was being hunted down by numerous holy lands, including not only the most outstanding geniuses from each holy land but also powerful figures eyeing him covetously.

Given this situation, let alone a minor cultivator in the Sea of ​​Wheels, even the most outstanding successor of an ancient aristocratic family would probably be at a loss, not knowing what to do.

But seeing Chen Yu's confident demeanor, he didn't say anything more, and simply followed behind Chen Yu, preparing to leave.

Meanwhile, inside the Tai Xuan Sect, Ji Ziyue watched as her elders continued to painstakingly persuade her.

"We can't do this."

She said, "That person's scriptures were personally given to him by the Little Ancestor, and they involve the Little Ancestor."

"Furthermore, in terms of bloodline, he is also a member of my Ji family, so it is reasonable for him to inherit the Void Scripture."

C

"I understand what you're saying."

Standing before Ji Ziyue, Ji Hong sighed, "But where is the evidence?"

"You claim to be a descendant of the Ji family, but he has absolutely no Ji family blood in him. How can the clansmen accept this?"

"You say his Void Scripture was personally bestowed upon him by the Junior Ancestor, then where is the Junior Ancestor now?"

"Of course, these are not big problems."

Ji Hong's face showed exhaustion, and his thoughts seemed somewhat complicated: "If it were before, I could have managed to cover for him a little."

"But his biggest mistake was using the Void Handprint to kill my Ji family member, and he shouldn't have exposed the Source Root of All Things' Qi within him."

The Ji family's pursuit of Ye Fan did not begin immediately.

Initially, Ji Hong approached the Tai Xuan Sect solely for information about Ji Ziyue and the possible existence of the Little Ancestor.

They did not find Chen Yu at the Tai Xuan Sect, but instead discovered Ye Fan, who was cultivating the Void Scripture.

Of course, with Ji Ziyue's guarantee that Ye Fan's Void Scripture was personally passed down by the young ancestor of the Ji family, there wasn't much of a problem.

Although the Void Scripture is not supposed to be passed on to outsiders in principle, the birth of the Ji family's imperial son led him to personally pass on the Void Scripture, so who would dare to say anything?

But Ye Fan used the Void Handprint to kill the Ji family members.

Now everyone knew that Ye Fan possessed the Void Scripture.

When the other branches of the Ji family learned of the news, they began to exert pressure.

The various branches of the ancient aristocratic families are deeply intertwined, and the situation is complex. Ji Hong can withstand the pressure on the surface, but he cannot stop the people from other branches from making moves in secret.

Ultimately, after repeated attempts to target him, Ye Fan's possession of the Root of All Things' Mother Qi was exposed.

Even Ji Hong couldn't save him this time.

Because at this point, not only were the other branches of the Ji family filled with murderous intent, but people from other ancient holy lands were also filled with the same.

They coveted the divine material, the Root of All Things' Mother Qi, and also coveted the Void Scripture on Ye Fan's body.

Ye Fan clearly wouldn't hand over these things obediently, nor would he sit idly by and wait to die.

"Grandpa, but he is, after all, Little Grandpa's friend."

'

Ji Ziyue pleaded, wanting to continue persuading, "What if Little Ancestor finds out?"

""

"Purple Moon..."

""

Ji Hong spoke, his words full of profound meaning: "When Haoyue went out before, she ended up losing the Void Mirror. This matter has put our lineage under great pressure."

"Now that this has happened again, what are we supposed to do?"

"Even if we hold out, people from other factions will take advantage of our misfortune."

He sneered, "The more you say this was passed down by the young ancestor, the more the other lineages will want to kill you."

"How could this happen?"

Ji Ziyue's face turned pale, and she could hardly believe it.

Why not?

Ji Hong shook his head: "Throughout the entire Ji family, you are the only one who has had contact with the young ancestor. If the young ancestor were to return to the Ji family one day, wouldn't he be exceptionally close to our branch? How would the people of the other branches then behave?"

"But if we kill that useless body, that's a different story."

"If our ancestor knew, wouldn't he blame you and thus despise our lineage?"

"In the end, good things will turn into bad things, and we will be the ones who are suppressed and purged. They will secretly take action and benefit from it."

The ancient aristocratic families, seemingly glorious and dazzling, are in reality deeply entrenched, rife with complex conflicts and entanglements, far from being a unified whole.

Ji Ziyue had known about this before, but she never expected it to come to this.

"Could it be that the reason why Xiao Zu is so reluctant to return to the Ji family is because of this?"

At that moment, she suddenly thought of Chen Yu.

After meeting Chen Yu and becoming familiar with him, she had considered asking him to return to the Ji family, but without exception, all of these suggestions were rejected by Chen Yu.

Now that I think about it, could it be that Chen Yu knew about the situation within the Ji family all along, and thus prepared to stay away early on?

"Ah owe."

Outside the Tai Xuan Sect, Chen Yu yawned, somewhat surprised: "Is someone thinking of me?"

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Beside him, the Crow Taoist asked respectfully.

"fine."

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "It was just a bit of a surprise."

"let's go."

He strode forward and continued onward.

Not long after, he arrived at a place.

boom!

A hand slammed down, a powerful aura rose, carrying immense divine power, as if an unparalleled power had made a move, unleashing a terrifying attack.

Chen Yu stood still, his expression calm, without making any move.

Beside him, the Crow Taoist stepped forward and also struck out with his palm.

The great power was overwhelming. His presence here seemed to suppress even the void itself, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared everywhere, opposing each other, looking extremely terrifying.

"It's you!"

A moment later, the figure of a boy appeared.

This is the Peacock King.

He presented himself as a young man, looking like a handsome young man in the prime of his youth, leaving a strong impression.

An extremely powerful aura emanated from him, making it difficult for people to look directly at him simply by him standing there.

At this moment, he looked at the Crow Taoist with a look of surprise and delight: "Brother Taoist, what brings you here?"

He and the Crow Taoist were both powerful figures of the demon race and had known each other for a long time. When they saw the Crow Taoist coming, they were pleasantly surprised.

"I was originally refining weapons in the Fire Domain, and then I met Your Highness and came here with you."

The Crow Taoist began to explain, looking at Chen Yu beside him with a tone full of respect.

Chen Yu stood still, looking behind him.

Yan Ruyu and her companions also appeared there.

She was dressed in green, and a smile was on her face as she waved to Chen Yu, seemingly delighted by his arrival.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The Peacock King approached Chen Yu, his eyes fixed on him, a faint apology on his face: "My actions just now were actually intended to test him; I hope Your Highness will not take offense."

He was a powerful figure among the demon race, known for his arrogance, but he was not without manners.

The reason I made that move was simply because I knew Chen Yu's identity and wanted to test him.

"It's alright."

Chen Yu, holding Yan Ruyu's hand, simply smiled and indicated that it was alright: "You are indeed a man of true character."

The Peacock King of the Demon Clan is arguably the most loyal supporter of the Azure Emperor's lineage. In the original story, when Yan Ruyu was desperate, it was the Peacock King who stood up for her and tore apart the Ji family's elder.

The other party's temperament was not bad. Although the sudden probing was a bit rude, Chen Yu could tolerate it considering the other party's actions.

After a brief greeting, the Peacock King invited Chen Yu into the small world.

The small world before us was created by an ancient sage, and its unique scenery makes it a good place for cultivation.

Before Chen Yu arrived, Yan Ruyu and the old demon and others had been cultivating here for a long time.

"Your Highness, I have a request, I wonder if you may grant it?"

Upon arriving at this place, the Peacock King stared at Chen Yu, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Please feel free to speak."

Chen Yu was curious, so he gestured for the Peacock King to speak.

"I want to fight Your Highness on equal footing and see the difference between me and the truly top-tier figures."

The Peacock King spoke, and his words immediately stunned everyone around him: "I wonder if Your Highness would be so kind as to grant my request?"

Ever since Yan Ruyu and the others learned of Chen Yu's identity, this idea had been on his mind.

A true imperial prince, a truly top-tier figure in the world, comparable to the great emperor in his youth, worthy of being recorded in the long annals of history.

Given the Peacock King's personality, now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to fight against such a person of equal caliber, regardless of victory or defeat, he will not regret it.

"A battle between equals?"

Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you insist on doing so, then of course there's nothing wrong with it."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

The Peacock King laughed and led Chen Yu to a wide open space.

Subsequently, his aura began to decline continuously until it reached the third level of the Dao Palace realm.

He sealed his own cultivation level, deliberately keeping it at the same level as Chen Yu.

He then decisively struck, delivering a blow to Chen Yu.

boom!

With just one strike, the divine power contained within was unparalleled, absolutely surpassing the limits of the third level of the Dao Palace, making it incomparably powerful.

Aside from his formidable cultivation, the Peacock King himself possesses immense combat prowess. Even though he suppresses his cultivation to the third level of the Dao Palace realm, his strength is still far beyond that of ordinary people.

Chen Yu remained calm in response, simply striking out with his own palm in return.
