The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

Su Zhe's eyes widened.

Good heavens, why is this woman the first one to arrive?

This is not quite what he imagined!

In his mind, the Ji family elder who gave him the token should be the first to rush over.

Then the two of them pulled each other for a while, saying things like, "You've worked hard, no, I haven't worked hard, I'm just serving the Ji family."

Why was Ji Biyue the first one to run over?

Su Zhe frowned slightly and blinked frantically at Ji Biyue.

Although Ji Biyue was wicked, she was not stupid, and she understood Su Zhe's meaning in a flash.

"You're back?"

Ji Biyue rushed up and asked with concern.

The renowned members of the Ji family rushed over quickly, and were momentarily stunned when they saw Ji Biyue.

"Ji Biyue, what brings you here?"

Ji Hui, a renowned figure in the Ji family, asked the question.

"I..." Ji Biyue was about to speak when Su Zhe interrupted her.

"While searching for the young master, I encountered Miss Ji Biyue. During our search, we were ambushed by the demon race. I stayed behind to cover their retreat, allowing Miss Ji Biyue to depart first..."

Su Zhe spoke up.

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Hui stopped him.

"Did I ask you?!" Ji Hui said, looking at Ji Biyue. "Ji Biyue, is what he said true?"

"Reporting to Aunt Ji Hui, what he said is true." Ji Biyue nodded, delivering a perfect performance.

However, Su Zhe's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Good guy!

Hime?!

Isn't this the unsatisfying sentiment of readers of "Covering the Sky"?

As everyone knows, the three biggest regrets for readers of "Covering the Sky" are me and the Ruthless Great Emperor, Ye Fan and An Miaoyi, and others and Ji Hui...

"Where are your subordinates?" Ji Hui's cold gaze swept over Su Zhe's back as she asked in a chilling voice.

"We finally managed to drive back the demons, but they showed no martial virtue! A powerful figure named Peacock King suddenly intervened..."

Su Zhe said indignantly.

This time it was even more outrageous. Before he could finish speaking, Ji Hui waved his hand to stop him.

"Wait! Who did you say you met? The Peacock King?!"

Ji Hui stared wide-eyed at Su Zhe in disbelief.

Su Zhe nodded.

Ji Hui sized Su Zhe up and down, then laughed angrily, "You? You encountered a powerful being? Then tell me, how did you escape?"

"Because we also have a powerful member in our team named Ji Ming..."

Su Zhe retorted through gritted teeth.

This time, before he could finish his sentence, he was enveloped in a beam of light.

The light pierced the sky, like a divine pillar piercing through heaven and earth, and carried an extremely strong guiding divine power.

Before Su Zhe could react, he was pulled by the guiding force and flew upwards along the pillar of light.

Beside him, Ji Biyue followed without hesitation, and Ji Hui hesitated briefly before gritting her teeth and following as well.

Flying upwards along the beam of light, the beam eventually landed in front of a massive palace in the clouds.

When the beam of light dissipated, Su Zhe had already appeared in the very center of the palace.

Three figures stood beside him.

Each figure wasn't particularly tall, but in terms of height, some were even shorter than him.

But these three figures standing there were like three towering mountains, supporting the entire hall.

Even if you look up, you can't see the faces of these three people; you can only feel their immense aura, as if they were rooted in the heavens and earth.

Judging from their auras, there should be three powerful figures here, and one of them has a particularly familiar aura.

Ji Ming was the one who was brutally killed by the Peacock King in the valley and made a threat to target Su Zhe.

"You said you encountered the Peacock King?"

One of the powerful figures spoke up and asked.

The three did not deliberately conceal their presence, but they seemed to be standing in the void, almost merging with it. Those with lower cultivation levels could not discern their exact location.

"Exactly." Su Zhe nodded. "I met Miss Ji Biyue by chance, and together we searched for Young Master Haoyue's whereabouts. We were ambushed by the demon race halfway there. I stayed behind to cover Miss Ji Biyue's retreat, but I happened to meet a seemingly ordinary young man. Little did I know that he was the infamous Peacock King!"

Su Zhe spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

However, the three powerful figures present did not fully believe him.

"Ji Biyue, is what he said true?" one of the powerful figures asked.

Ji Biyue nodded without hesitation, "Reporting to the Ancestor, everything Dong Xuelian said is true. We were ambushed by one of the Peacock King's disciples. If Dong Xuelian and her subordinates hadn't desperately held back the demons, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time escaping today."

Seeing Ji Biyue nod in agreement, the powerful figures nodded slightly, as if they believed Su Zhe's words.

What happened after the Peacock King arrived?

One of them spoke up and asked.

His voice was deep and muffled, but Su Zhe could still hear a familiar feeling in it.

It's Hime-na!

Old Deng, who was hiding in his own team!

Su Zhe smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "To be honest, I also thought I was doomed at the time. However, the Peacock King did not attack me. Instead, he found an elder in the group with whom I had a very good relationship and addressed him as a great being."

As soon as the words were spoken, two of the powerful figures turned to look at the one who had spoken earlier.

"And then?" the powerful Princess continued to ask.

As things stand, he couldn't tell that the boy in front of him was lying.

Because he knew clearly that the communication between his divine sense and his main body had never ceased before his divine sense clone perished. His divine sense clone and this boy indeed had an extraordinary relationship.

Given his own personality, he would never have taken the initiative to stand up for this boy at that time.

Therefore, the only possibility is that his divine consciousness clone was discovered by the Peacock King.

"Then came the great battle between the two powerful figures. A senior member of the Ji family risked his life to buy a chance for the younger generation, telling me that upon returning to the Ji family, I must warn everyone that the Peacock King has made a move against the Ji family!"

Su Zhe spoke up.

Then, as if worried that people wouldn't believe him, he tore off his upper battle robe, revealing his dripping blood and mangled flesh.

"Although I escaped the Peacock King's control, I was hunted down by powerful demons and nearly lost my life!" Su Zhe said. "I don't seek revenge for myself, but I implore you seniors to intervene and vindicate my Ji family! I am about to inherit the family's legacy. How can we allow demons, lowly creatures, to look down on us, an ancient family with hundreds of thousands of years of history!"

Su Zhe spoke with heartfelt sincerity, but the three powerful figures seemed unconcerned, their gazes fixed on the wounds on Su Zhe's body.

There, they did indeed sense an aura similar to that in the demon race's great tomb.

That was an aura from the same source as the Demon Emperor, meaning that this young man named Dong Xuelian had been chased all the way back to the Ji family by the Demon Emperor's successor.

"The reputation of the Ji family will naturally not be allowed to be trampled upon by the demon race!" Ji Ming looked at Su Zhe, his eyes expressionless. "As for you, you did well this time! Do you have any reward you desire?"

Upon hearing Ji Ming's words, Su Zhe immediately knelt down, "This disciple dares not have any extravagant hopes! I am only willing to go through fire and water for the Ji family! I will die for it!"

Ji Ming laughed upon hearing this, looking down at Su Zhe, "Not bad, you little rascal! From now on, you're a member of the Ji family!"
