The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 230: Chapter 203: The Name of Zi Dian

"I thank my Dao Companion for his felicitations!"

The voice of the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, echoed through the mountains.

As cold and stunning as ever.

On the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform, the Red Flame Demon King was dumbfounded.

Dao Companions!?

’It wasn’t just a boast!’

’He’s the Dao Companion the Peacock King herself acknowledged!’

The Peacock King...

’Since when did she have a Dao Companion!?’

The Red Flame Demon King wasn’t the only one who was dumbfounded; so was the vast majority of Demon Kings present!

To say they were dumbfounded might be an overstatement; with the experience and potent Demon Sense of a Demon King, they weren’t truly caught so off guard.

They still maintained an extremely high level of alertness and vigilance.

But compared to their normal state, ’dumbfounded’ was undoubtedly the right word!

The several Quasi-Demon Kings from Peacock Mountain who had been confronting Xu Chang’an looked on in astonishment.

’The young boy before them was the Peacock King’s Dao Companion!?’

’A Dao Companion the Peacock King herself had acknowledged.’

The Peacock Princess, Chu Yunrou, was just as shocked.

Atop the Five-Colored Jade Tower, the Silver Monkey Demon stared at the scene in mid-air, its face a mask of disbelief.

’The Red Bear Demon turned into a Golden Lion, which then took on the Transformed Form of a young boy!’

’And...’

’He’s the Peacock King’s Dao Companion!?’

This series of transformations left the top-tier Great Demon struggling to keep up.

SWOOSH!

In a flash of light, Xu Chang’an’s figure appeared on the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform.

He had the form of a young boy, with delicate features, rosy lips, and pearly teeth—a truly handsome appearance.

Xu Chang’an glanced at the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, from a distance, not approaching her right away.

Beyond his intention to solidify his status as her "Dao Companion of convenience" at this grand celebration, he had another plan.

To establish his dominance!

This was to avoid a conflict with the Peacock King over the fortuitous opportunity that would come later!

He needed to display the combat prowess of a top-tier Demon King to dissuade the Peacock King from any untoward notions.

By doing so, he would eliminate some unseen risks!

When one has strength, ability, and connections, it isn’t always necessary to keep them hidden. Waiting until trouble is upon you to reveal your power and influence might allow you to turn the tide and dominate your foes.

But sometimes, that approach can lead to an unpredictable future!

Even if you ultimately succeed, you may have created many needless complications along the way.

Rather than that, it’s better to reveal one’s hand early.

But a display is just a display; one must always keep a true ace in the hole!

This serves as your true foundation, to be used against uncontrollable futures and risks!

Xu Chang’an’s gaze swept across the crowd. Though he had the appearance of a young boy, his bearing was one of absolute disdain for all.

On the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform, numerous Demon Kings had gathered, each with a unique appearance.

Soon, Xu Chang’an’s eyes locked onto a middle-aged man whose head was covered in black spots.

The man was of medium, well-proportioned build, and his skin faintly glinted with a metallic luster.

"Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King, our battle that day left me wanting! How about we fight again today?"

Xu Chang’an looked at the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King from Thundering Mountain with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s expression was grim; he clearly hadn’t expected to run into Xu Chang’an again in such a setting.

’That day, he had been guarding the Five Thunders Mine when, by a twist of fate, he encountered two Human Race Cultivators.’

’After forcefully killing them, he never imagined he would run into this menace!’

’If he hadn’t used his trump card to escape, he probably would have been killed right there!’

’This unknown Demon King had fought the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King before?’

The Unihorn Demon King from Celestial Pool Cave glanced at the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King beside him.

’From the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s reaction, he could already guess the outcome of that battle!’

’Was this Demon King across from them really that powerful!?’

On the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform, the many Demon Kings wore varied expressions, each lost in their own thoughts.

The Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King’s combat prowess was considerable; he was considered to have just barely stepped into the realm of top-tier Demon Kings.

’To think he had actually lost to this Demon King!’

’No wonder...’

The Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, swept her beautiful eyes over the grim-faced Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King, slightly surprised.

But her composure returned in an instant.

’Back when he was a top-tier Great Demon, he could already suppress Quasi-Demon Kings and rival ordinary Demon Kings!’

’Now that he’s become a Demon King, it makes sense that his combat power is comparable to a top-tier Demon King!’

Seeing that the Profound Armor Seven-Star Demon King remained silent, Xu Chang’an paid it no mind and let out a chuckle.

On the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform were rows of thrones carved from jade.

The thrones were immense, standing a full ten zhang high.

They pulsed with a soft halo of light, appearing exceptionally noble!

As the centerpiece of this celebration, the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, naturally sat on the central throne.

With a flicker of movement, he appeared right beside the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi.

The throne was enormous, and both he and Chu Xianyi were in their human forms.

A single Jade Throne could easily accommodate both of them without feeling crowded in the slightest.

One, a young boy with rosy lips and pearly teeth; the other, a cold, stunning beauty in a palace gown.

They seemed like a complete mismatch, yet here they were, sitting together on a single Jade Throne.

Faced with Xu Chang’an’s sudden appearance, Chu Xianyi merely swept her beautiful eyes over him without a word.

To the demons watching, she seemed to be letting him do as he pleased!

Seated near the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, were not only the Yellow Wind Demon King representing Red Cloud Mountain, but also two top-tier Demon Kings from Snake and Scorpion Cave and Leopard Ridge: the Golden Patterned Demon King and the Qifeng Demon King!

The two great Demon Kings exchanged a glance, and both could see the astonishment in the other’s eyes.

’The Peacock King was cold, proud, and incomparably imperious. When had she ever been so permissive!’

’At a grand celebration, such a formal occasion, for two demons to share a seat was a breach of protocol!’

’The Peacock King was, after all, the most important figure at this celebration. Even her Dao Companion shouldn’t upstage her.’

’But now...’

Although the two top-tier Demon Kings were astonished, this was ultimately the internal affair of Peacock Mountain, so they would naturally not comment.

BUZZZZ—

The Array shrouding the skies above Peacock Mountain gradually faded away.
