The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

Ji Ming was trembling with anger. He was filled with remorse and hated himself for being just a wisp of divine thought here!

A wisp of divine thought was too weak. Although it could easily kill the scoundrel in front of it by attacking from above, it was still too much of a strain when facing the Peacock King at his peak.

If he were truly here, even if the Peacock King were an extremely powerful being, he could have forcibly killed this villain in front of him. How could he be like this now, watching the villain dart around in front of him helplessly!

"Since you've asked, I'll kill him for you!"

The Peacock King chuckled, and with a wave of his hand, several sharp feathers flew out, piercing straight through the body of Old Deng Ji Ming.

The seemingly solid body instantly transformed into a layer of light ripples that dissipated into the void.

Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could even speak, the Peacock King frowned.

"You think you can run away from me?"

The Peacock King gave a soft shout, and five-colored divine light burst forth from his palm. It spread like heavenly light, sweeping across the entire valley.

Su Zhe could see clearly that in a corner of the valley, Ji Ming's fragmented divine consciousness was hiding.

"King Peacock, do you truly intend to exterminate us all? Aren't you afraid of the Ji family's wrath?"

Ji Ming roared, and his already somewhat illusory body trembled violently, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"Settlement?" The Peacock King chuckled. "When your Ji family sent people to ambush and kill my demon princess, did you ever think of settling scores? Now that my demon race has been reduced to a mere powerful being, you're already thinking of threatening me with harsh words?"

"Yes, yes, yes! This is too much! How could a prestigious ancient family be so shameless!" Su Zhe complained from the side.

Ji Ming glared fiercely at Su Zhe, his eyes filled with murderous intent that almost materialized.

If the real Su Zhe were here, the sheer amount of killing intent alone would be enough to kill him several times over.

"Did you hear that! Even we, your honored guest from the demon race, want you dead. It seems you have no reason to live anymore."

The Peacock King spoke.

After saying that, he raised his hand and condensed a huge five-colored palm print in the void, which fell heavily towards Ji Ming's divine sense.

The valley trembled violently, and Ji Ming roared, "Dong Xuelian! My Ji family will surely kill you!"

The next moment, Ji Ming's divine sense transformed into a ball of light, which was then taken into the Peacock King's possession.

"It's still the divine thought of a powerful being; it would be such a loss to simply obliterate it like this!"

The Peacock King chuckled, his gaze falling on Su Zhe.

To be honest, he was somewhat tempted.

Although the suggestion made by the young man in front of me was despicable and lacked martial ethics, it sounded very interesting. If it were actually implemented, the expression on Ji Ming's face would be particularly interesting when Ji Ming's main body and this wisp of divine thought reunited in the future!

After dealing with the powerful figure from the Ji family, the Peacock King looked Su Zhe up and down, his eyes filled with obvious interest.

"Senior Peacock King truly lives up to his reputation as a top-tier expert among the demon race; his strength is indeed formidable!"

With a fawning smile on his face, Su Zhe ran up to the Peacock King and began to speak.

"Although I don't know why the princess specifically instructed me to pay attention to you, I always feel that the princess must have been deceived by you."

The Peacock King spoke with a smile, his face giving off a warm and welcoming feeling, but it concealed a strong killing intent.

Su Zhe felt that if he didn't handle things properly, he might be killed on the spot by the Peacock King.

"To be honest, Her Highness the Princess believes I have potential, so she sent me to infiltrate the Ji family and become their inside man!"

Su Zhe remained expressionless and spoke with a confident air.

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King glanced at Su Zhe with a half-smile on his face, "Alright, I believe you!"

Su Zhe: ? ? ?

You believe that?

That's not right. According to the usual pattern, shouldn't he not believe it, and then keep pressing him, and finally convince the other party with his own intelligence?

"What? You don't believe me?" the Peacock King asked with a smile.

"No, no, just believe it!" Su Zhe quickly said.

"Her Highness the Princess asked me to convey a message to you," the Peacock King suddenly said, his face serious. "She warned you to be careful in everything you do, and not to trust the future too much."

Hearing the Peacock King's words, Su Zhe felt a warmth in his heart.

"Tell Her Highness that once I return safely from the Ji family, I will definitely marry her!"

Su Zhe said loudly.

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King couldn't help but laugh. What the hell is this about marrying a princess?

"You're really good at repaying kindness with enmity," the Peacock King laughed and said.

Su Zhe scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile, "Hehe."

"So, do you want to come back to the demon realm with me?" the Peacock King asked.

Although this guy in front of us looks treacherous, cunning, despicable, and shameless, and has no bottom line, the demon race needs such a shameless person right now.

"I'm not going back yet. I finally managed to climb up to the middle level on the outer periphery of the Ji family. I can't just give up like this."

Su Zhe shook his head.

Now that the mission has been completed, it seems that as long as he is willing to go back, the renowned Ji family elder and Ji Biyue will find a way to help him advance further.

At that time, Su Zhe will be half a member of the Ji family!

Whether it's for the mission rewards or for the side quests that haven't been explored in the novel, Su Zhe is determined to try the salty food.

"Alright," the Peacock King nodded, not forcing Su Zhe, but only reminding him, "The Ji family isn't all mediocre, so be careful."

Su Zhe nodded, and the next moment, the barrier around the valley shattered, everything turned into nothingness, and the Peacock King's figure also disappeared like light.

The entire valley was empty except for Su Zhe. Even the underlings that Su Zhe had killed had disappeared, as if everything before had been an illusion.

If it weren't for the system notification that he had just gained experience, Su Zhe would probably have doubted whether he had entered a hallucination.

After briefly composing himself, Su Zhe immediately turned around and ran towards the Ji family's direction.

Along the way, he gritted his teeth and used the techniques from the Demon Emperor's cultivation method to punch himself several times.

For the sake of realism, he subconsciously unleashed all his defensive skills.

So those punches emptied most of his blood vessels.

However, the effect is very good.

Su Zhe now exudes a listless aura, and his injuries are also entangled with the aura of the demon race.

Especially the strong traces of the Demon Emperor's cultivation technique, which cannot be faked.

Even among the demon race, only those with sufficiently high status and strength are qualified to cultivate the Demon Emperor's Technique.

As soon as Su Zhe returned to the Ji family's residence, he immediately summoned the Ji family token, releasing a light screen to inform everyone in the Ji family that he had returned!

Almost instantly, a divine bridge appeared, spanning the horizon and arriving before Su Zhe in a flash.

A woman walked briskly across the sacred bridge.
