Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 83 The Great Peacock King

The boy looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was somewhat thin and frail, with delicate features, bright eyes and white teeth. His hair fell naturally over his shoulders, and he had a gentle smile on his face. He looked harmless and would be mistaken for a very gentle child if he walked down the street. People might reach out and pat the boy's head, praising him as a handsome young man.

But at that moment, no one dared to speak.

The boy, with glistening hair and a smile on his face, stepped down from the void and arrived before the Ji family.

"The Peacock King!" said the strongest among the Ji family's esteemed elders.

He had already reached the first level of the Sendai realm, and given his status, he could command great influence in the outside world. But at this moment, he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"You guys are pretty fast runners," the boy said, his smile widening to reveal his pearly white teeth.

His behavior was just like that of a naive boy next door, but the group of elders from the Ji family dared not make any move, fearing that they would provoke his wrath.

“Senior Peacock King, my Ji family has no grudge against you…” a renowned member of the Ji family said.

Before he could finish speaking, his body exploded.

The Peacock King smiled and withdrew his slender fingers. "I find it disgusting to hear such things."

The Ji family members looked grim. The Peacock King had arrived with murderous intent, and this matter was definitely not going to end well!
The last cultivator from the Immortal Platform Secret Realm in the Ji family's team made a move, using the Great Void Technique to disrupt the void and secretly crush a small array pattern.

The next moment, a temporary portal that could only be used for one teleportation was erected.

This is their last resort, and its use comes at a great cost, with various restrictions and unknowns. It is generally not used until the very last moment, but now it is the last moment.

The Peacock King stood still, smiling, making no move, watching the Ji family's experts take action.

Once the domain gate was successfully constructed, a group of people from the Ji family stepped into it, and the domain gate was successfully activated. Only then did he make his move with a smile on his face.

A finger, as white and translucent as a scallion, gently touched a spot in the void.

The next moment, the activated domain gate suddenly shattered, the void exploded, and patches of blood mist burst out, with almost all of the Ji family's esteemed elders killed or injured.

Wang Teng, Ji Haoyue, and Ji Ziyue each possessed life-saving treasures, thus avoiding serious injury. However, the few remaining elders of the Ji family forcibly sent them away using the Great Void Technique at the cost of burning their own lives.

"Your methods are quite dull," the Peacock King said calmly.

He lowered his head, looked at the renowned Ji family elder who was nearing the end of his life, and gently tapped him, sending him back to the void.

"The Ji family's divine body, the Ji family's Little Moon, and the successor of the Northern Plains, who should I go to..." The Peacock King chuckled, his smile particularly radiant in the sunlight.

He followed in one direction.

On the other side, Wang Teng fell from the void.

The shattering of the domain gate had some impact on him, but fortunately he had enough treasures to protect him at the critical moment; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured by now.

Even so, he was still feeling very unwell.

If it weren't for the renowned elder of the Ji family using the Great Void Technique to send him away at the last moment and help him escape, Wang Teng would have already blacklisted the Ji family. After determining the direction, Wang Teng was just about to leave when he saw a young man appear beside him without him noticing.

The boy was none other than the Peacock King who had just shattered the domain gate with a single finger. He had an innocent-looking body, but contained immense power, capable of shattering mountains and rivers with a roar. Even the Supreme Elder of the Ji family was easily torn apart by him.

Neither the opponent's strength nor their audacity to attack the ancient aristocratic families are qualities that ordinary experts cannot possess.

"You're from the Northern Plains, so why are you getting involved in the Eastern Wilderness?" the young man asked casually, his hands behind his back.

If Wang Teng hadn't just witnessed this person's power firsthand, he probably would have mistaken him for a mere youth, just like Ye Fan in the original story, and would have started talking to him.

Wang Teng took a deep breath, as if recalling the past, and calmly said, "The Northern Plains are vast and sparsely populated, with scarce resources. There, I was known as a prodigy. But only I know my own situation. I am far from being a true top prodigy. So, I came to the Eastern Wilderness, a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, to see the prodigies of the Eastern Wilderness."

Then, Wang Teng looked at the Peacock King and said sincerely, "I appeared in the Ji family for this reason, and definitely not because I wanted to help the Ji family fight against the demon race!"

With the powerful ancestor not by his side, Wang Teng could only act somewhat submissively when facing a powerful figure face-to-face.

“I know.” The young Peacock King nodded. “The descendant of the Demon Emperor told me about this. She said that when you spoke up, you saved the boy who carried the Demon Emperor’s sacred heart—your old friend Ye Fan. She also said that she seemed to have seen you in the Demon Emperor’s tomb, and that the Treasure Basin was acting in your direction.”

As he spoke, the Peacock King stared calmly at Wang Teng, looking into Wang Teng's sea of ​​suffering. His eyes occasionally flashed with a divine light, as if he wanted to see what secrets Wang Teng was hiding.

Wang Teng wasn't too worried. The Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe was an imperial weapon, possessing the divine power of an imperial weapon. Unlike items like the Dao Scripture Wheel Sea Scroll, if the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe wanted to hide itself, only a great power could detect it. However, he had other things in his Bitter Sea.

“I used to carry a sacred weapon,” Wang Teng admitted directly.

He made his choice in an instant: a dignified admission versus being forced to accept it.

"A sacred weapon... When did the Wang family become so wealthy and powerful that they could actually let a mere fellow from the Four Extremes Secret Realm control a legendary sacred weapon?"

Sure enough, when Peacock King heard that Wang Teng possessed a legendary holy weapon, his reaction was exactly the same as everyone else's.

What is a holy weapon?
It is a priceless treasure known as a legendary sacred weapon!
The phrase "passed down through generations" already says a lot!

Even some powerful beings may not be able to possess legendary sacred weapons as their weapons!

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng sighed deeply, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. "You know the situation in the Northern Plains... It's vast but sparsely populated, with scarce resources and few geniuses. In order to make the Northern Plains comparable to the Eastern Wilderness, the people there spread some rumors about me... My strength is what it is, and I certainly can't fight against the geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness. Therefore, the family can only give me a sacred weapon to protect my life."

When the Peacock King mentioned Yan Ruyu, Wang Teng already knew that he was probably out of danger.

Therefore, when facing the Peacock King, Wang Teng used his own set of arguments again.

The Peacock King looked at Wang Teng with a half-smile.

"But I heard that you underwent the Heavenly Tribulation in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and that your Sea of ​​Wheels phenomenon can even reverse time and space?" the Peacock King asked.

"This is all hearsay! They're talking nonsense!" Wang Teng immediately retorted.

He refused to believe that the Peacock King was among those who made the move that day!
“I was there that day.”

The Peacock King laughed. He raised his hand and unleashed a golden sun, exactly the same one that Wang Teng had seen when he was undergoing his tribulation!
