T/N: Sorry for being late with this chapter! I hope you like it.

They were both taken aback after hearing that electric sound.

Zhou Ying instinctively looked at the beeping tracker in his hand. Bai Yang, on the other hand, had already come to his senses.

Xiao Ling’s voice appeared inside his mind. “Sir, the Almighty Demon King hasn’t arrived. The protagonist can’t ascend yet. If he ascends, I won’t have time to seize the Demon King’s data.”

Zhou Ying lifted the tracker up to inspect it. Then he asked Bai Yang, “What is this?”

“Never mind that.” Bai Yang grabbed the tracker and put it away.

For Zhou Ying, this thing was very unnecessary.

“Zhou Ying, you said once that you’d fulfill any request I had, right?” Bai Yang asked earnestly as he stared directly at Zhou Ying.

“Dad, what request do you have?” Zhou Ying was very confused.

“Promise me first.” Bai Yang anxiously wanted him to commit to it.

Zhou Ying thought about it and said, “As long as I can fulfill it, I promise to do it.”

That’s just what I was waiting to hear!

Bai Yang licked his lips and said seriously, “I hope you can kill me.”

Zhou Ying: “….”

He wrinkled his slender eyebrows, a confused look on his face. “Dad, what did you just say?”

Bai Yang repeated what he said seriously, “I hope you can kill me.”

Zhou Ying was stunned. After a while, his eyes widened. “Wh- what? You want me to… kill you?”

He repeated incredulously.

Bai Yang said, “Yes, kill me.”

Zhou Ying stepped back as if frightened. He backed up, shaking his head. “I can’t! Dad, did you take the wrong medicine? Are you joking with me?”

Bai Yang stepped towards him. “I’m not joking. I’m serious.”

Zhou Ying covered his ears. First, he’d swallowed a pill, then he’d suddenly ascended to the Crossing River Stage, followed by a strange device appearing in his hand, and now his own father was asking him to kill him. This series of unimaginable events made him feel completely overwhelmed.

“Of course, you’re joking! Dad, tell me what happened exactly? Why did I suddenly ascend to the Crossing River Stage? What was the thing you gave me to eat? Why are you making such a strange request?”

Because his emotions were all riled up, Zhou Ying’s spiritual power fluctuated violently. Powerful spiritual pressure flooded the cave, making it somewhat difficult for Bai Yang to breathe.

Bai Yang had to use his own magic to resist it and used the excuse he’d come up with earlier. “This world is about to be destroyed. It’s all because of me. As long as you kill me, it’ll be enough to save this world.”

Zhou Ying obviously didn’t believe him. Shaking his head, he said, “You must be talking nonsense. What destruction of the world? What’s going on with you? Are you qi-deviating?”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed Bai Yang’s arm. His spiritual power followed the meridians in Bai Yang’s arm and checked over the state of his body.

Zhou Ying’s cultivation completely surpassed Bai Yang’s right now. He was unable to move a single step, so he let Zhou Ying do what he wanted.

“I haven’t qi-deviated. What I said is true,” Bai Yang said anxiously. “Zhou Ying, didn’t you promise me that no matter what kind of request I made, you would fulfill it? Now, my only request is for you to kill me!”

Zhou Ying simply gripped his arm. “Dad, no matter what you say, I won’t fulfill this kind of unreasonable request.”

“How is it unreasonable?” Bai Yang was immediately infuriated. “You promised me. Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word!”

He knew he might encounter some difficulties, but he didn’t expect Zhou Ying to not even hesitate before refusing him.

If he didn’t complete his task, everyone was finished.

Zhou Ying hesitated. “Dad, change your request. That one, I’ll definitely fulfill.”

“Little brat!” Bai Yang was so anxious that he shouted abuse at him. “Listen to me, I only have this one request! You must fulfill it, or else the world will be destroyed, and it’ll be over for everyone!”

Zhou Ying was silent for a while. Then he shook his head as firmly as before. “I’m sorry. I can’t fulfill your request.”

Bai Yang became even angrier. “Would you prefer to watch the world be destroyed rather than kill me?”

Zhou Ying reasoned with him, “Yes, unless you can prove that the destruction of the world has to do with you.”

Bai Yang: “….”

Fucking brat!

Bai Yang pointed at his nose and shouted at him, “How can I prove this kind of thing? You’re clearly making things difficult for me!”

Zhou Ying obediently received his scolding. He lowered his head and said in a small voice, “Aren’t you making things difficult for me?”

“You!” Bai Yang’s qi writhed around his body, but it didn’t do him any good. At this moment, he really wanted to kill this troublesome little brat!

“I don’t care! You already promised me, whatever request I had, you’d fulfill it! You have to fulfill it! You said you would!”

Since he couldn’t reason with him, Bai Yang began to make a scene.

Zhou Ying was helpless and could only step forward and shout, “Dad, don’t be deliberately provocative. No one would be able to fulfill that kind of request. Change it. Don’t make things difficult for me….”

As he spoke, he advanced and pulled on Bai Yang. Who knew he’d use too much force? Bai Yang suddenly fell on the ground.

Bai Yang fell on the ground, stunned, and immediately flew into a rage.

“Not only did you refuse to fulfill your promise, but you even raised your hand at me!” Bai Yang knew he couldn’t defeat Zhou Ying, so he didn’t directly challenge him. Rather, he immediately rolled around on the ground and wailed. “You unfilial son! You broke your promise, and even raised a hand towards your dad!”

Zhou Ying watched him roll around on the ground, bewildered. “I didn’t mean to…. I didn’t know my own strength….”

“I don’t care!” Bai Yang continued to make a scene and didn’t listen to any explanation. “You promised me! You agreed to kill me!”

Zhou Ying was worried and crouched on the ground to say, “Dad, don’t make trouble. I never promised you that….”

Bai Yang continued to roll around on the ground. “If you don’t promise me, I won’t get up!”

Zhou Ying couldn’t do anything about him. In a low voice, he said, “The ground is dirty, stand up.”

“I won’t! Unless you promise to fulfill my request.” Bai Yang continued to make a scene.

Zhou Ying saw that admonishing him had no effect and kneaded his forehead. He stood and said, “Alright, if you want to lie there then continue lying there. I’ll leave first.”

As he spoke, he turned around and left the cave.

Bai Yang who lay on the floor: “….”

Little brat!

The little brat wasn’t like the Demon King. If he was the Demon King and Bai Yang were rolling around and making a scene, he’d definitely give in. Now that he’d replaced the Demon King with the little brat, it was hard to coax him.

The Demon King….

Seeing him leave, Bai Yang could only get up dejectedly and chase after him, saying, “Zhou Ying, stop!”

Zhou Ying turned a deaf ear and continued walking towards the mountain path. He probably didn’t feel like dealing with Bai Yang.

In his mind, Xiao Ling said, “It doesn’t seem like he believes you.”

Bai Yang was worried. He was very worried. Suddenly, he regretted being so good to Zhou Ying before. As a result, he had no way to get Zhou Ying to kill him.

It would be better if Bai Yang was Zhou Ying’s enemy!

… enemy?

Bai Yang suddenly had an idea and teleported after Zhou Ying. He blocked his path.

“Actually, I’m not your dad.”

Zhou Ying lifted an eyebrow and said, exasperated, “Don’t make trouble. No matter what you say, I can’t kill you.”

“Do you not believe me?” Bai Yang said. “I’m really not your dad. Last time, to bluff our way out, I used the mother fruit to make our blood merge. It was all to make the Demon King let us go.”

Zhou Ying’s expression turned grave.

Bai Yang saw he was willing to listen and said, “The reason I helped you was all for one goal: so that you could kill me. I hope you can fulfill my wish.”

Then, he lifted his right hand and said, “I swear, everything I’m saying is true.”

“Dad, are you sober?” Zhou Ying circumvented him. “I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”

You’re already at the Crossing River Stage, what food do you need to eat? Not to mention that at the Crossing River Stage, as long as you cultivate a golden core, you can practice inedia, and no longer need to eat.

Even though Zhou Ying’s expression was normal, Bai Yang thought that maybe what he’d said just now had some impact.

They both teleported out of the mountain and arrived at a town. It was a civilian town. Even though it was small, it was unusually lively and bustling.

Zhou Ying directly walked over to a clean-looking tearoom and ordered a bowl of noodles.

Bai Yang followed him in. He smelled a fragrance he hadn’t smelled in a long time and his mouth watered. He also called out to the owner to order a bowl of noodles.

When the noodles arrived, Zhou Ying concentrated on eating. Bai Yang followed his lead and took two bites.

As they ate, Bai Yang also tried to gently persuade the other, “Zhou Ying, I really need your help. In this life, all I ask for is death….”

Zhou Ying suddenly slapped the table and said coldly, “Eat your noodles!”

Bai Yang jumped in fright and immediately said angrily, “Little brat, you dare be fierce with me?”

Zhou Ying was expressionless. “Didn’t you say I wasn’t your son?”

Bai Yang: “….”

The atmosphere immediately became stilted.

Suddenly a dong dong dong sound came from the street, causing everyone to turn their heads towards it. There was a man wearing a grey hat carrying a gong. He banged it while yelling, “Bad news! Bad news! Demons have invaded! There’s going to be a war!”

Hearing that demons were invading, everyone immediately panicked.

“Demons have invaded? When did this happen?”

“Really? You’re not lying to us, are you?”

“Did the barrier not stop them?”

“What about the cultivation sects’ great immortals? What are they doing?”

The people on the street stopped the man and asked him.

Bai Yang and Zhou Ying put down their chopsticks and strained their ears to listen to the conversation.

The man said, “It happened yesterday. The Demon King led a couple hundred demons to the Soaring Clouds Sect which went all out to resist. There were countless casualties. I heard that the demons have already established a channel to the human world. Soon there will be an army of ten million pressing on the border. Our region will be reduced to a battlefield. Everyone hurry up and get out of here!”

Hearing this, some people were skeptical while others were scared out of their wits.

There were many people around them. Everyone was talking amongst themselves.

“Demon invasion?” Zhou Ying suddenly stood up and appeared instantly in front of that man. “Is what you said true?”

The man was startled by the sudden appearance of Zhou Ying. Then he reacted and slapped his chest, saying, “It’s absolutely true. How could I joke about such a thing!”

Bai Yang was very shocked.

“There’s fighting! Soaring Clouds Sect is fighting! Let’s hurry over!” There were also some people from outside of the town who were hurrying over, running, and yelling. Behind him several people were also running and yelling, “Let’s go, everyone! Let’s go before it’s too late to leave!”

This time, the people on the sidelines heard the news and immediately scattered. They went home to pack their things and flee.

Bai Yang and Zhou Ying both released their insight, letting it stretch far away.

Not long after, Bai Yang saw a powerful collision of force coming from the direction of the Soaring Clouds Sect. White spiritual energy tangled with black demonic energy, shaking heaven and earth.

They were both very shocked, but for different reasons.

“Qing-er!” Zhou Ying cried out in alarm, teleporting quickly towards the Soaring Clouds Sect.

Bai Yang followed closely behind him, his heart pounding wildly.

The last boundary pillar was indeed at the Soaring Clouds Sect. He’d told the Demon King its location, so of course he’d bring people to destroy it. Of that there was no doubt. Bai Yang had planned to let Zhou Ying kill him in Soaring Clouds Sect. The Demon King was also there so Xiao Ling could take away the Demon King’s data at the same time.

Originally, he’d had it all planned out, but now there were two problems. First, Zhou Ying refused to kill him. Second, the Demon King should have been able to easily destroy the boundary pillar, but now his whereabouts were exposed, leading to the entire cultivation world knowing about the Demon Invasion. At that time, the entire cultivation world would encircle and suppress them with all their might.

How did this happen?

Was Lou Jianfeng not at the Soaring Clouds Sect? At the behest of the Demon King, Lou Jianfeng could coordinate offensives both inside and out. That should be enough to catch everyone off guard and destroy the boundary pillar. How could things be like this?

Bai Yang was very worried.

The two of them were so fast that they arrived at the boundary pillar in an instant.

Looking in the distance, the mountain range of the Soaring Clouds Sect was surrounded by white qi. The spiritual energy boiled over. From time to time, there would be the low sound of an explosion. It seemed like the fight was intense.

From even farther away, there were many cultivators teleporting over. They left trails, making them look like meteors converging on the Soaring Clouds Sect.

Only by looking from far away could one grasp the overwhelming might of the cultivators.

The Demon King’s cultivation was deep and unmeasurable, but two fists would have difficulty fighting against four hands. He was also being inhibited by the barrier in the mortal realm. Being attacked by so many people, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Bai Yang’s heart shook and beat faster.

Suddenly, Xiao Ling’s voice appeared in his head. “Sir, we’re going to see the Demon King soon. Do you want me to seize his data?”

Bai Yang thought for a while then grit his teeth. “Wait for me to get closer then start grabbing it.”

He realized that today might be the last opportunity.

If he didn’t make his move, the Demon King would die.

If he died, his own life would have no meaning.

“Alright,” Xiao Ling said. “Sir, remember, I can only save the data for three hours. If you still can’t leave this world in three hours, the data and I will both be destroyed.”

Bai Yang took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry. I will leave within three hours.”

“All right, I’ll prepare first.” Xiao Ling said energetically.

Bai Yang and Zhou Ying had already arrived at the foot of the Soaring Clouds Sect’s Mountain. Neither of them hesitated and quickly flew up to the Soaring Clouds Sect.

Zhou Ying had ascended to the Crossing River Stage. He was not accustomed to suddenly increasing his level of cultivation so much and still hadn’t learned how to control his body’s overpowering aura. Therefore, when he neared the Soaring Clouds Sect, he’d already attracted everyone’s attention.

Bai Yang, however, suppressed his spiritual power and was overlooked.

They both rose in the air.

The wind suddenly picked up, sweeping past their faces.

Bai Yang looked to where the spiritual energy was the most chaotic. At the same time, he spotted someone at the top of the mountain.

He looked past countless people and met that person’s calm gaze.
