Amid the chaos, the ancestors didn’t have a chance to reorganize their formation before the shadow and Bai Yang had fled.
With wind hitting his face, Bai Yang turned to see the pale face of the Demon King of Eternal Night.
Huh? Why had the Demon King of Eternal Night appeared?
Doubts flashed across his mind. Bai Yang had expected that someone would save him, but suspected that someone would have been Luo Jian Feng. He’d been present when Bai Yang caused trouble in the Soaring Clouds Sect. Luo Jian Feng wasn’t wary of Xie Ze Tian, and should have considered him an assistant and companion. Even if he wasn’t willing to save Bai Yang, he would look into what happened if something went against their plans.
What he didn’t expect was, instead of Luo Jian Feng coming to his rescue, it was the Demon King of Eternal Night.
This was something Bai Yang never would have considered.
Whether it be in the TV series or novel, the last boss wouldn’t appear for no reason. They would arrive at the last moment, in some epic way, and then be defeated by the Male Lead.
Furthermore, the Demon King of Eternal Night had already been possessed by his inner demons, and he lived in the Demon Realm. How could he suddenly appear in the Human Realm?
“My Lord?”
“Save your breath, don’t speak.” The Demon King of Eternal Night’s voice was cold as ever.
Bai Yang shut up. Regardless of why the Demon King of Eternal Night appeared, he was rescuing him. If Bai Yang wanted to live, it would be best to obediently listen.
Thus, Bai Yang obediently shut up.
The Demon King of Eternal Night was holding him by the waist as they fled, and Bai Yang wondered at his strength. . He couldn’t help but think, Who would have thought that the Demon King of Eternal Night was so strong?
Stuck so closely to the Demon King, Bai Yang was uncomfortable. He wanted to remind the Demon King of Eternal Night to let him go, but when he saw that handsome face, he couldn’t dare say it.
He came to Bai Yang’s rescue, but he’s still annoyed about being held?
If he voiced his complaint, he’d probably be slapped to death.

So Bai Yang could only relent to being hugged by the Demon King of Eternal Night the whole way.

In other words, the Demon King of Eternal Night’s skill was already at a terrifying level.
If he found out Bai Yang was a double agent, even a finger would kill him.
“My Lord, what are you doing here?”
Bai Yang looked around to find he’d been brought to a swamp. Each area was huge because teleportation or flight allowed one to travel very far. If the world was only as big as Earth, the strong would be able to fly across the world in just one round, which would naturally seem wrong. Therefore, in that universe, the realms were all extremely big. There were countless smaller realms in larger realms, and many larger realms. For example, beyond the Human Realm was the Immortal Realm.
Another example would be this swamp. It seemed endless and stretched on for thousands of miles. Looking around, all one could see would be fields of reeds swaying in the wind. The fields stretched on for hundreds of miles, like a vast ocean; it was a spectacular sight.
If not for their awful situation, Bai Yang would have liked to stay and appreciate the beauty. After all, it wasn’t every day you saw such a thing.
The Demon King of Eternal Night set him down and several dark shadows emerged from the swamp and flew to the Demon King of Eternal Night’s side.
“My Lord, we successfully distracted them.”
The Demon King of Eternal Night nodded his head. “Well done. Report to Luo Jian Feng and tell him to continue the plan. What happened today was just a minor inconvenience.”
It looked like he was trying to placate Luo Jian Feng.
The shadowed soldiers respectfully bid them goodbye and disappeared back into the swamp.
“My Lord…”
As Bai Yang opened his mouth, the Demon King of Eternal Night turned around. Bai Yang trembled at those crystal-clear eyes. The Demon King of Eternal Night was smiling, but Bai Yang didn’t know why he’s kind of scared.
“Look at the good things you’ve done.”
Sure enough, he’s come to settle the score, Bai Yang thought. He caused trouble in the Soaring Clouds Sect, yet he hadn’t acquired the Jade Clouds Pearl. He knew that things weren’t looking good for him.
He knelt on the ground. “Your Subordinate knows his wrongs. My Lord, please give your punishment.”
“Of course I’ll punish you, but now isn’t the time.” The Demon King of Eternal Night helped him up and, once again, held his waist to teleport them both.
The two returned after some time to the passageway. The passageway was only opened every three days due to the large amount of energy it consumed. Demonic magic was needed on both sides to keep the passage open. After the demonic magic was exhausted, it needed to be accumulated again. That would take time, so the passage was only opened once every three days.
“My Lord.” Two people clothed in black appeared. They were the ones who looked after the passage.
The passageway was built off the side of a cliff on a mountain. The whole mountain had been slashed in half, leaving only half of it. On the smooth side, a hole had been cut out. If an ordinary person entered, it would only seem like a cave. However, if it was opened by demonic magic, the hole would lead to the Demonic Realm.
The Demon King of Eternal Night didn’t speak, only reached out his hand. A small vortex appeared in the dark cave and grew bigger and bigger until two or three people could walk in, side by side.
Then, he led Bai Yang through the vortex.
Being held so long was outrageous, so Bai Yang finally spoke up: “My Lord, I can walk by myself.”
The Demon King of Eternal Night acted like he didn’t hear anything and continued to hold him.
Bai Yang shut up.
The two walked until the path lit up, and they’d arrived at a sacrificial altar. The familiar altar showed that they had arrived back in the Demonic Realm. The altar was built on flat land so, with the Demonic Realm still being day, the soft glow of the sun illuminated everything in the world.
There were also multiple guards around the altar. When they saw The Demon King of Eternal Night, they knelt on the ground and respectfully said: “My Lord.”
The Demon King of Eternal Night, holding Bai Yang, nodded at the guards and disappeared from the altar. After a moment, they had returned to the Palace of Darkness.
The Palace of Darkness was darker than other areas due to the black cloud of demonic magic in the air. It blocked the already dim glow of the sun.
The Demon King of Eternal Night led Bai Yang to the throne room. It was only then that he released his hand from Bai Yang’s waist.
From beginning to end, he didn’t say a word. The less he spoke, the faster Bai Yang’s heart thumped.
The atmosphere was a little awkward and tenser.
Bai Yang could tell that the Demon King of Eternal Night was very angry. He had a right to be angry; Bai Yang had caused trouble in the Soaring Clouds Sect and revealed to the Human Realm that Demons are reappearing. It was completely a case of beating the grass and scaring away the snakes. Ignoring the fact that he’d alerted the enemy, he hadn’t even acquired the Jade Cloud Pearl.
In that type of situation, there was only one thing to do. Only by admitting his mistake and sincerely repenting, would the Demon King of Eternal Night’s fury be quelled.
Of course, before admitting your mistake, you must appeal for the Demon King’s favor to quell his anger a little.
Bai Yang fell to the floor, sincerely saying: “I thank My Lord for saving me!”
The Demon King of Eternal Night walked to the throne and sat down. Supporting his head with one hand, he glossed his glacier eyes up and down Bai Yang like it was his first time seeing him.
“Xie Ze Tian, I didn’t expect you to be so bold.”
Huh?
In the novel, Xie Ze Tian was quite courageous. However, the Demon King of Eternal Night saying such a thing in such a situation couldn’t be meant as praise.
“Your Subordinate is guilty of sin.” Bai Yang was very tactful, so he didn’t forget to add a few words for himself. “Your Subordinate was too anxious. Thinking about Your Lord suffering after being possessed by your inner demons, Your Subordinate couldn’t wait to acquire the Jade Cloud Pearl. I didn’t expect to return empty-handed. My Lord, please punish me.”
Bai Yang looked pained, with a really so worried that he made a mistake attitude. Then, he coughed twice, revealing that he’d been injured heavily. Demon King, look, in order to help you, I’d been injured badly. Are you really willing to punish me?
The Demon King of Eternal Night stared at him and then said, slow and casual: “Punishment? How do you think I should punish you?”
How would I know? It’d be best if I didn’t get punished at all.
Bai Yang thought that in his heart, but instead said: “No matter what punishment, Your Subordinate is willing to take it.”
This was to show an I don’t care if I get hit or scolded, I’m just that loyal attitude.
The Demon King was silent for a moment. “Normally, you’re a little stupid, but this time you were especially stupid. Don’t you think before you act?”
Bai Yang felt an arrow pierce his heart, but he straightened his back and firmly said: “In the moment, I didn’t have time to think much….”
“You’re arrogant in the Demon Realm and it’s fine, but in the Human Realm, you’re still so arrogant. There are many people in the Human Realm. If everyone rushed in, shouting and killing to accomplish their goal like you, would I need to worry so much that I have to send in Luo Jian Feng?”
Thank you for chapter! (っ・ω・）っ ♡☆。★ﾟ♪
Poor demon king, he’s kind of being manipulated 🤔. However, Bay Yang must save the hero even though he is an enemy of humanity to return to reality 😔. It gets hard for us as readers cheer on one side 😭
Can you cheer for someone like t hat? 😅
Hehe… The traitor is being scolded for being foolish, but the truth is that he’s actually intelligent and treacherous. He has to get scolded while acting the fool. At least, it looks like he accomplished his objective. It’s preferable to be seen as incompetent rather than to have the truth revealed.
This novel is so interesting so far!! I love the mc and I love how silly/infatuated he appears in front of the demon king
Why is this novel chapters often ended before I am satisfied 😂
I hope Bai yang like demon king for real soon. Its going to be really complicated then haha
Thank you for another chapter!
This story is so good! Thanks for the chapter (●´∀｀●)
Thanks for the hard work love the story ^_^
I just love that the demon king is probably already misunderstanding the MC’s feelings xD
Thank you for the chapter!
