Chapter 473 - 467: Hordes of Demons Besiege the Peacock Great Ming King
Peacock Great Ming King shouted in question, shocking Tanlang into a jolt, standing there in a daze.
Not only Tanlang was startled; Bai Ze also looked at Tanlang in disbelief.
"Tanlang must be crazy?" Bai Ze thought in his heart.
Bai Ze guessed that Tanlang must have offended Peacock Great Ming King.
Never would he have thought that Tanlang would actually lay a hand on Peacock Great Ming King’s daughter.
Everyone in the Mysterious World knows that Peacock Great Ming King is a doting father. If you lay a hand on his daughter, won’t he fight you to the death?
Bai Ze’s gaze fell on Tanlang, seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Bai Ze understood.
Seeing his expression, it’s clear he did such a thing, and now that someone has come to confront him, he doesn’t dare to admit it.
"Useless teammate, truly a useless teammate!"
"Why would you provoke Peacock Great Ming King for no reason?" Bai Ze shouted in his heart, wishing he could personally strangle this useless teammate Tanlang.
To know that in the Mysterious World, the hardest people to provoke, besides the World Honored, are Peacock Great Ming King.
Why provoke anyone, especially him?
Bai Ze was so angry that his teeth were grinding, but he couldn’t just ignore this kind of situation.
There was no way he could just stand there and watch Peacock Great Ming King kill Tanlang.
At this moment, Peacock Great Ming King was pressing closer, advancing towards Tanlang.
Knowing he was no match for Peacock Great Ming King, Tanlang retreated in panic.
With no other option, Bai Ze could only step forward, blocking Peacock Great Ming King, and said, "Ming King, think this through! If you act, things will definitely escalate to an undesirable point!"
After temporarily stopping Peacock Great Ming King, Bai Ze looked at Tanlang, signaling him with his eyes, saying, "Tanlang, quickly speak, say it! Is it you?"
Bai Ze’s signaling to Tanlang wasn’t for him to tell the truth but to lie and give Peacock Great Ming King a way out.
As long as Tanlang says it wasn’t him, and then Bai Ze mediates, paying some price, the matter could be resolved quietly.
Upon seeing Bai Ze’s gaze, Tanlang immediately understood, and quickly nodded his head and shouted, "It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it!"
"I, Tanlang, am after all a Tier Two Peak Powerhouse, how could I lay a hidden hand on a little girl?"
"Peacock Great Ming King, although this Array is from my Tanlang Race, it could have been someone else framing us. Don’t be fooled!"
Seeing Tanlang understood his intention, Bai Ze couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as Tanlang finished speaking, Bai Ze immediately chimed in, "Ming King, you see, Tanlang said he didn’t do it."
"In my view, there might be a misunderstanding, but this Array is indeed from the Tanlang Race, and Tanlang didn’t manage it well, we cannot shirk our responsibilities."
"How about this, we’re willing to offer three treasures as compensation to calm the niece down, how does that sound to you!"
Bai Ze thought, this way gives Peacock Great Ming King a way out, and they’re willing to offer treasures as an apology.
The goodwill has been offered, logically, Peacock Great Ming King shouldn’t pursue the matter any further.
His strategy of muddying the waters might work with someone good-natured like Elder Bai.
But unfortunately, in front of him stands Peacock Great Ming King.
Peacock Great Ming King, in his youth, was fearless enough to challenge the World Honored alone.
This trick of muddying the waters, Peacock Great Ming King won’t fall for.
"Good!"
"Very good!" Peacock Great Ming King coldly sneered, "I don’t need treasures. I, Peacock Great Ming King, am not impoverished to this extent."
"Since it wasn’t him, let him swear an oath to the heavens! As long as he dares to swear, I’ll turn around and leave."
Swear an oath to the heavens?
Mysterious World is different from the Real World.
Those little couples in the Real World, often swear easily.
Like, if I betray you, may the heavens strike me dead, may I die a horrible death.
Or if I cheat, may I be run over repeatedly by four and eight wheels.
...
...
In the Real World, these oaths are casual, with no worry they will come true.
However, the Mysterious World is different, here, any oath made will definitely come true.
Moreover, the higher the cultivation of the person who swears, the sooner it comes true.
Peacock Great Ming King was certain that Tanlang committed the act, hence he demanded Tanlang swear.
He was sure Tanlang wouldn’t dare to swear.
After saying these words, Peacock Great Ming King wasn’t finished, he looked around and coldly said, "Not just him, all of you must swear you didn’t participate and don’t know about this matter."
"If you are innocent, then swear!"
"If anyone dares not to swear, don’t blame me for a massacre."
Having spoken, Peacock Great Ming King stood still, waiting for them to swear.
Within the Ten Thousand Mountains, some elderly ones indeed didn’t participate and knew nothing about this event, so they were willing to swear.
However, some knew about it, even participated in it, and they didn’t dare to swear.
Among them, the most anxious was Tanlang.
Tanlang definitely couldn’t swear under any circumstances.
Tanlang looked around, seeing many people wavering, clearly not wanting a deadly confrontation with Peacock Great Ming King, wanting to swear to prove their innocence.
Tanlang knew he couldn’t delay any further; if he did, their group would be split into two factions by Peacock Great Ming King.
At that time, the chances of winning would be even lower.
Seizing the moment, while things were still unclear, they decided to directly attack Peacock Great Ming King.
At that time, these allies couldn’t just stand by.
With that thought, Tanlang glanced at a few close companions.
Regarding the act against Kong Mengmeng, several of them were involved, definitely couldn’t shirk the blame.
Tanlang’s gaze swept over the Ox Demon, Tiger Demon, Cyan Lion Demon, and White Elephant Demon.
The four Great Demons immediately understood Tanlang’s intention, nodding slightly.
After reaching consensus with his companions, Tanlang stood out, pointing at Peacock Great Ming King, and shouted, "Peacock Great Ming King, you’ve gone too far."
"Relying on your strength, you invade us, destroyed vast areas of Ten Thousand Mountains, and forcibly pressured us to swear indiscriminately."
"If we swear under your coercion, how can we face the world to survive?"
"If this can be tolerated, what can’t? It’s true that you’re formidable, but we Demons of the Ten Thousand Mountains are not to be trifled with!"
"Peacock Great Ming King, prepare to die!"
With a furious shout, Tanlang directly summoned a Wolf Fang Club, smashing it towards Peacock Great Ming King.
In the instant Tanlang attacked, the Ox Demon, Tiger Demon, White Elephant Demon, and Cyan Lion Demon also simultaneously attacked, launching an offensive against Peacock Great Ming King.
At this moment, anyone with clear eyes could see, Tanlang was guilty and took the first move.
Those who attacked alongside him were likely his accomplices.
