The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

The Holy Lord of the Ji family made no attempt to conceal himself; he swaggered over and headed straight for Yao Guang's residence.

He exuded an air of confidence and was extremely high-profile throughout the journey, attracting the attention of many people.

Some people know the inside story, and you understand why the Holy Lord of the Ji family is rushing to Yaoguang's base in such a high-profile manner.

"This is the Holy Master of the Ji family making a statement, supporting that young man named Dong Xuelian!"

Someone spoke up, analyzing the matter.

"New and old grudges! Not long ago, the Peacock King was hunting down the Ji family's divine siblings, and now he's targeting Dong Xuelian, this up-and-coming young woman. A supreme being like him, specifically targeting the younger generation—it seems the hatred between the demon race and the Ji family is irreconcilable!"

Some people were gloating, waiting to see what would happen.

But no matter what others thought, the Holy Lord of the Ji family swaggered in!

Until they approached Yaoguang's camp, the journey was calm and uneventful.

However, the Holy Lord Yaoguang, who was hiding in the shadows, did not let his guard down.

He knew that the Peacock King, as a powerful figure among the demon race, had once been so flamboyant, yet he still lived a comfortable life. The reason was that the Peacock King had always been very careful and cautious.

Unless you have absolute certainty, the other party will definitely not make a move.

Now is not the best time.

Thus, the Holy Lord of the Ji family ventured deep into the Yao Guang camp, where he encountered the weak Winter Snow Lotus.

"It's good that you're still alive, it's good that you're still alive..." the Holy Lord of the Ji family said repeatedly.

Although the winter snow lotus in front of us looks extremely weak, it is already quite an achievement that it was able to escape from the clutches of the Peacock King.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family personally examined Su Zhe's injuries.

Thanks to Su Zhe's relentless attacks, and the fact that the Peacock King did indeed strike Su Zhe a few times amidst the chaos, even the Holy Lord of the Ji family did not notice anything suspicious about the injuries.

"Luckily, someone helped stop your injuries earlier. Judging from the technique, it must have been that little girl Yao Xi. She's quite attentive."

The Holy Lord of the Ji family nodded slightly and spoke.

Su Zhe nodded upon hearing this, "It is indeed Her Highness the Holy Maiden. Upon hearing of my injury, Her Highness traveled day and night to come here and heal me immediately."

Su Zhe spoke, his expression unchanged.

Don't ask why the Holy Maiden arrived so quickly!

Don't ask them what they want from here!

As long as they come, that's fine!

"I see!" The Holy Lord of the Ji family nodded slightly. "Fortunately, that Peacock King was just playing around and didn't kill you. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether you would be alive or dead now."

There is no doubt about this, and even Su Zhe cannot refute it.

It would be far too easy for a top-tier expert to kill a prodigy from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Even if he possessed a heaven-defying treasure like the Green Bronze Rust, it would still be too difficult to deal with a real powerhouse; he could only exploit the information gap.

For someone like the Peacock King, who already knows a small part of his trump card, to think of using the Green Bronze Stain to deal with him is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Yes! Luckily I survived." Su Zhe nodded in deep agreement.

"But don't be afraid. Now that I'm here, I'll definitely protect you!"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family spoke, his voice filled with domineering power.

Su Zhe nodded, looking deeply moved.

However, when he looked down, he pursed his lips.

Stop bragging!

Even a one-on-one fight with the Peacock King might not be enough to win, let alone the fact that the Peacock King has brought reinforcements this time.

He even offered up the heaven-defying treasure, the Green Bronze Rust. If the Peacock King were to change his target to the Holy Lord of the Ji family on a whim, the Ji family might have to hold a funeral tonight.

"Your Majesty has traveled a great distance to rescue me; I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude!"

Su Zhe was deeply moved.

He knew, of course, that the Holy Lord of the Ji family had come not for him, but for his younger sister, but so what?

That doesn't stop him from showing his loyalty for the moment.

"From this day forward, I will serve the Ji family with my life, even unto death!"

Su Zhe spoke with a serious expression, his voice filled with determination.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Master of the Ji family patted Su Zhe on the shoulder with satisfaction, "It's good that you think this way, but you are the future of the Ji family!"

The news of the arrival of the Holy Lord of the Ji family was not deliberately concealed, so the powerful Yao Guang stationed here quickly rushed over.

"Junior Yao Buwen greets Senior! I was unaware of your esteemed presence and have failed to properly welcome you!"

Yao Guang, the great power, spoke with a smile.

At this level, there are very few people he can flatter, but the Holy Lord of the Ji family is definitely one of them.

However, he managed to control his expression well, making him appear neither impatient nor obsequious.

"Thank you for your protection, fellow Daoist. My Ji family will remember this. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask!"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family spoke.

The great master Yao Guang was waiting for this very sentence!

"Senior, you're too kind. Yaoguang and the Ji family have been on good terms for generations, and with young friend Dong Xuelian just so happen to appear before me, how could I possibly stand by and watch her die!"

"I am filled with righteous indignation," said the great power of Yao Guang, his words full of sincerity.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang, who remained hidden in the shadows, looked at this powerful figure with an icy expression, having already secretly marked this powerful figure named Yao Buwen in his heart.

If Yaoguang ever runs into trouble, this guy will definitely be the first to lead the rebellion!

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I'll take the Winter Snow Lotus back with me now." The Holy Master of the Ji family smiled, not wanting to get too involved in this matter.

They were all ancient monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, how could he not know what this guy was thinking?

If Yao Guang Saint Lord hadn't been secretly following him, he might have gone along with it, giving the other party a step up and allowing them to choose a better place to roost.

However, now that the Holy Lord Yaoguang is watching from the shadows, even if the other party wants to join the Ji family, he, as the Holy Lord of the Ji family, absolutely cannot give them any chance or hope.

So he bid farewell to the reluctant Yao Guang Da Neng and returned to the Ji family with Su Zhe.

Just as the Holy Lord of the Ji family stepped out of the Ji family gate, he could sense that more than one person was watching him from the shadows.

Among them were not only Yao Guang Holy Lord, a supreme ally, but also some passersby who had concealed their identities.

Everyone could guess that the Holy Lord of the Ji family might be fishing, playing a game of strategy with the Peacock King in the shadows.

Regardless of who wins or loses, it's something many people are happy to see.

Su Zhe followed the Holy Master of the Ji family, and was extremely flustered the whole way.

He couldn't help but look around, afraid that the Peacock King might suddenly appear out of nowhere and stab him without saying a word.

When the Holy Lord of the Ji family saw this scene, he thought that the loyal Dong Xuelian had been frightened by the Peacock King, so he spoke up to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. The Peacock King can't do anything to you!"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family spoke with a smile.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything; the more he talked, the more flustered Su Zhe became.

It's because he's there that Su Zhe is afraid!

Sure enough, before the two had gone far, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted around them, and endless demonic energy spread out in an instant, as if it wanted to tear the world apart!

The Peacock King's figure suddenly appeared, his divine form obscuring the sky and sun!

"Eastern Snow Lotus! Prepare to die!"
