“He was the only survivor out of two hundred people, and he even obtained the Dragon Blade. He keeps escaping death. He has such good luck, do you think he could be the prophesied Son of the Seven Stars?” Luo Jian Feng said, staring at Bai Yang.
Luo Jian Feng was sharp indeed.
No wonder the Demon King of Eternal Night had so much respect for him.
Bai Yang was trembling inside, but he pretended to think and nodded his head. “That is a possibility.”
“Lord Xie, a fish that has slipped through the net should be killed. Don’t you think so?” Luo Jian Feng asked.
Bai Yang’s heart pounded as he pondered for a moment. “Your words make a lot of sense.”
“Lord Xie?” Luo Jian Feng smiled wider.
Bai Yang understood the meaning behind that smile, so his mind spun. Finally, he nodded and said, “If he’s the Son of the Seven Stars, I will kill him.”
He didn’t say everything.
His words meant that the person had to be the Son of the Seven Stars. If you could prove that Zhou Ying wasn’t the Son, then Bai Yang wouldn’t have to kill him.
But how would he prove he wasn’t the Son of the Seven Stars?
His head hurt just by thinking about it.
Of course, before coming up with a plan, he wanted to confirm that the Male Lead was safe.
“Where is he right now?”
“He’s at the Soaring Clouds Sect.”
“Why hasn’t Lord Luo done anything?” Bai Yang was most afraid that Luo Jian Feng would make a move himself. If that were to happen, the Male Lead would be as good as dead.
Luo Jian Feng shook his head. “My cover identity prevents me from messing with the Soaring Clouds Sect. If any evidence were to be found, all I’ve done would have been in vain. The boy is being personally guarded by the Sect Head and several elders. There’s no opportunity for me to do anything.”
Bai Yang was relieved to hear it.
He asked Xiao Ling to pull up that part of the original novel. The novel described the Male Lead being locked up when he returned to the sect. In other words, he was safe for now.
Bai Yang came to the Human Realm to meet the Male Lead and stimulate his meridians to help him advance his cultivation. The faster he cultivated, the faster he would ascend. It seemed like his plan had to be delayed.
The most important thing would be relieving the Male Lead of suspicions of being the Son of the Seven Stars. Mind racing, Bai Yang thought of an idea.
“I’ll remember what Lord Luo has said. Since the boundary pillar has been shattered, I’ll return to the Demon Realm to report.”
Before he could act, he had to see the Demon King of Eternal Night and get him to lend a hand in helping the Male Lead.
Bai Yang and Luo Jian Feng were equals, so Luo Jian Feng wouldn’t be able to command him. Leaving or staying, both of them could do as they wanted.
Luo Jian Feng said, “Of course.”
Bai Yang, scared the other was going to do something, said, “Lord Luo, it’s best if you don’t touch Zhou Ying for now. The Dragon Blade is a priceless treasure that the Demon King desires.”
Thus, he could only make the tiger’s skin into a flag.
In fact, Bai Yang didn’t intend to say a word about Zhou Ying to the Demon King of Eternal Night.
Luo Jian Feng smiled. “Since his Highness ordered it, I will comply.”
Bai Yang faintly smiled before turning and leaving the room.
It seemed like the Demon King of Eternal Night’s name was pretty useful.
Bai Yang returned to the Demon Realm through the passageway and, without returning to his manor, rushed to the Palace of Eternal Night. However, after he arrived at the palace, he found out the Demon King wasn’t there. Something big had occurred in the Demon Realm; a rebellion against the Demon King.
The Demon Realm was vast, so many different varieties of strong demons existed there. Since the Demon Realm relied on a strength-based honor system, many strong demon clans hoped to use their strength to gain wealth and status. This caused many fights in the Demon Realm.
The Demon King of Eternal Night’s father, who had united the Demon Realm, had gained the entire demon race’s respect. However, once they entered the Demon King of Eternal Night’s generation, everyone became restless, and weren’t easy to control.
Besides the Demon King who resided in the Palace of Eternal Darkness, there were other Demon Lords in other quadrants of the massive realm. These Demon Lords had territories under their own rule. The one causing trouble was the Western Demon Lord. It was said that he secretly surrounded the city with his troops and, standing as an independent Demon Lord, challenged the Demon King of Eternal Night.
After being provoked, the Demon King of Eternal Night accepted the challenge and retaliated with all his might. If he didn’t, then the Demon King would lose his prestige in the Demon Realm.
Bai Yang rushed all the way to the Western Quadrant of the Demon Realm. Just as he arrived on the battlefield, he was informed that the Demon King of Eternal Night had already arrested the Western Demon Lord and planned to bring him back to the Place of Eternal Night for a public execution. Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
Bai Yang was speechless. Did this Western Demon Lord eat a bear’s heart and leopard’s courage to actually dare to rebel?
You couldn’t just be a Demon Lord, you had to provoke the Demon King. The Demon King of Eternal Night was the most talented big boss ever, of all time. What couldn’t he handle?
He had already solved the problem!
The Demon King’s subordinates all recognized Bai Yang and knew he was the Demon King’s right-hand man, so his sudden appearance didn’t slow him down. He entered the greedy Western Demon Lord’s palace smoothly.
The Demon King of Eternal Night was within.
A rebellious Demon Lord’s palace wouldn’t be better than the Palace of Eternal Darkness. Regardless of its structure or atmosphere, everything about it lost to the Palace of Eternal Darkness. Of course, in the Demon Realm, structure and atmosphere were secondary. What mattered most was the structure’s formation arrays and its geographical location. The arrays and location of the Palace of Eternal Darkness is second to none.
The Demon Lord’s palace was is extremely lavish. Even the walls were patterned with gold leaf, which created a harmonized and beautiful scene.
“Lord Xie, why are you here?” A guard, who he’d seen before in the Palace of Eternal Darkness, asked with a face covered with surprise. After all, news of Bai Yang being sent to the Human Realm had spread all across the Palace of Eternal Darkness. There were rumors of Bai Yang and the Demon King of Eternal Night not being on good terms, and thus, sending Bai Yang away.
Bai Yang was focused on his task, so he didn’t notice the guard’s expression. “Is his Highness inside? I need to see him urgently.”
The guard pointed toward the back at a beautiful palace. “His Highness is resting inside.”
Bai Yang nodded, and walked straight towards it.
As he neared the entrance, a dark figure flashed out, blocking his way.
It was Li Yu.
Li Yu’s expression was cold, “Thank you, Lord Xie, for stopping. His Highness is resting right now, so it’s inconvenient for anyone to bother him.”
“I have something I have to report to his Highness.”
What a joke. If he didn’t solve the problem and returned later, Luo Jian Feng might do something and kill the Male Lead. Then Bai Yang would be done playing, as well!
“Lord Xie, please come back later.”
Li Yu moved like a mountain and didn’t give a shred of face to Bai Yang. Xie Ze Tian was a respected figure in the Demon Realm. Most people would at least give him a thin face. Bai Yang was even respectful to Lu Yi, yet Lu Yi always had this cold expression as though Bai Yang owed him millions of spirit stones. Bai Yang had searched through Xie Ze Tian’s memories before, but he couldn’t find any previous conflict they could have had. Thus, Bai Yang didn’t understand why Li Yu didn’t at least act friendly on the surface.
“Let him in.”
A faint voice drifted from the palace, to which Li Yu immediately said, “Yes.”
He then moved and allowed a path into the palace. “Lord Xie, please enter.”
Bai Yang walked into the palace. Inside, white crystals were embedded everywhere, and two curtains draped in the center, blocking his view.
Through the swaying curtains, Bai Yang could faintly see a figure’s slender frame.
That person sat behind the curtains, his back straight and unmoving.
Bai Yang quickly, and respectfully, said, “Greetings, my Lord.”
“Why did you come back?” The Demon King of Eternal Night’s voice had always been cold, but, Bai Yang didn’t know if he was just delusional, he thought it sounded a bit warmer than usual.
When the Demon King used to talk to him, it was cold and professional, yet the past few times Bai Yang felt like he was less cold.
“Your Highness, there was indeed a boundary pillar inside the Black Cloud Sect, but I’ve already destroyed it.”
“You did very well.” The Demon King of Eternal Night said. “This time, you’ve made a great contribution. I’ll send your rewards to your manor.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Bai Yang said. “However, I have returned to inform your Highness of another matter.”
“Speak.”
Bai Yang said his planned speech, “Before, your Highness had sent me to the Human Realm to help Luo Jian Feng kill everyone in the Hidden Flower Mirage. However, I was informed yesterday that someone had survived the massacre. That person fell off a cliff and, by chance, found the Dragon Blade. Not too long ago, I went to steal the Blue Jade Pearl from the Soaring Clouds Sect. At the time, I kidnapped the Sect Head’s daughter and the owner of the Dragon Blade in order to confuse the sect. I wanted to get two treasures, however I didn’t expect myself to receive a grave injury and let the two escape.”
“I already know about this matter.” The Demon King of Eternal Night’s voice was steady and calm.
After he finished speaking, Bai Yang said in his mind, He actually knew!
Luo Jian Feng had already told the Demon King! Fortunately, he came back and explained it. If he had continued to conceal it, the Demon King might have began to grow suspicious of him.
