When Bai Yang saw the black figure, he finally realized that he wasn’t in reality, or in a world defined by laws. He was in a virtual world of magic. In this world, strength came first and human life second.


“Help me! Help me!” The woman saw Bai Yang and cried desperately to him.


In the Hidden Flower Mirage, he’d watched black robed figures kill people, well aware that two hundred and sixty three people died there. At the time, he knew that it was part of the original story, so letting it happen didn’t weigh too much on his conscience. However, the woman in front of him was an unknown character. Since she didn’t appear in the original story, Bai Yang didn’t know whether or not she was supposed to die. Most importantly, she saw him and was begging him to save her.


“Sir, don’t go over there.” Xiao Ling’s voice suddenly rang in his head.


Bai Yang’s raised foot stopped mid-air. “Why?”


“Sir, Xie Ze Tian wouldn’t save people.”


Bai Yang’s heart trembled. “But she about to die!”


“Sir, please don’t forget that we’re in a virtual world. That woman is only a set of data. It’s not worth it to save her.”


If it says it like that, then it must be true.


Bai Yang couldn’t help but look at the woman, but the black figure’s magic had already enveloped her. It seemed like she couldn’t breathe, and her body trembled violently.


Bai Yang couldn’t bear to watch.


“Sir, don’t you recognize that black figure?”


Bai Yang lifted his gaze and inspected the dark figure, and his eyes widened in horror. “Is… Is that the Demon King of Eternal Night?”


“Yes,” Xiao Ling replied. “If you save that woman, you might be killed by the Demon King of Eternal Night.”


Bai Yang was shocked.


He could never forget that if he died in the virtual world, he would also die in the real world.


Was it worth it to risk his life to save an unknown character? What’s more, that woman wasn’t even real, just a set of data.


The answer was obvious.


Thus, Bai Yang turned to leave. He took a few steps but, as though he suddenly had a revelation, he whirled around and flew straight at the Demon King of Eternal Night.


“Sir!” Xiao Ling was shocked beyond belief as she shrieked in his mind.


So, when he arrived in front of the figure, he used one hand to pull the woman from the shadow’s grasp and channeled magic in the other


With the force of his powerful magic, he cut away the remaining shadows grasping the woman. Bai Yang pulled her to one side and they both fell onto the grey concrete.


“Get out of here!” He said, and pushed the woman away.


The woman had some martial prowess, so, without a word, she got up and used all her strength to flee.


“Sir, have you gone crazy?” Xiao Ling’s cry echoed in his head. “Get out of there!”


Bai Yang didn’t pay any mind to the system. Instead, he rushed into the black fire, and the dark shadows that once grasped onto the woman changed its target to him.


Bai Yang used magic to disperse the attacking shadows and continued onwards. He broke through the magic consuming the Demon King of Eternal Night, and embraced him.


“My Lord, wake up!” Xie Ze Tian was very strong, or else he wouldn’t have been the Demon King of Eternal Night’s right hand man. While holding the Demon King of Eternal Night, Bai Yang used his power to suppress the black flame.


The Demon King of Eternal Night, suddenly attacked, was caught by surprise.


At that moment, Bai Yang used his magic to restrict the Demon King of Eternal Night. His magic power compared to the Demon King of Eternal Night was minuscule, so it wouldn’t work for long.


“Wake up, My Lord!” He hoped his cry would interrupt the Demon King of Eternal Night’s daze.


The Demon King of Eternal Night’s black robe and his dark hair scattered. His eyes glowed an ominous red.


“My Lord! My Lord!” Bai Yang called him over and over.


After a few moments, the redness in the Demon King’s eyes faded away.


“It’s you? Why are you here?” Demon King regained consciousness, his brows furrowed.


Bai Yang let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully the Demon King recovered before he ran out of power. If it hadn’t worked, he wasn’t sure what else he could do.


“My Lord, do you not remember?” Bai Yang felt sweat all over his body. He was exhausted.


The Demon King of Eternal Night looked about his surroundings quietly, before resting his eyes on Bai Yang.


“Why didn’t you leave?” There was something off about the Demon King’s complexion.


As expected, he was still somewhat lucid, and put the situation together.


The Demon King was asking why Xie Ze Tian didn’t escape, but Bai Yang misinterpreted the meaning intentionally. “My Lord, I stayed in my room in the Palace of Darkness today. When I heard someone’s cry, I rushed over…”


“You saw everything?”


Bai Yang nodded. “My Lord, this will stay between us. I swear.”


The black color of the Demon fire, the loss of control… everything pointed to the Demon King of Eternal Night getting possessed by his inner demons. No wonder he send everyone in the Palace of Darkness away. If others find out that he got possessed, there’s no telling how much commotion it would cause.


“Of course it will.” the Demon King of Eternal Night’s voice held a dark tone. “If you say anything, you won’t see the sun tomorrow.”


Bai Yang thought he might break out in a cold sweat, and his heart pounded in his chest as he said: “My Lord, I know that the Soaring Clouds Sect has a precious treasure called the Jade Cloud Pearl. It will be able to heal your meridians so you can control qi deviation. My Lord, please wait here, and I’ll bring you the Jade Cloud Pearl.


“I also have heard of the Jade Cloud Pearl.” The Demon King of Eternal Night’s voice was soft and cold. “Are you really willing to get it for me?”


What else could he say?


Bai Yang answered: “This Subordinate vows to obtain the Jade Cloud Pearl, even if it kills me!”


The Demon King didn’t speak for a long time, and Bai Yang began to feel uneasy, and kneeled.


“Sir, you should have fled,” Xiao Ling said in his mind. “This situation was extremely dangerous. Sir, aren’t you a timid person? Why did you rush forward?”


“Did you think I ran to save the woman?”


Xiao Ling said nothing, which was the same as agreeing.


“That was only one of the reasons.” Bai Yang’s voice was calm. “Actually, when I saw the Demon King of Eternal Night at the side palace, I was suspicious. But, after seeing today’s scene, I’m sure that his qi deviated.”


“The Demon King sent away the people in the palace because he didn’t want them to see him in his possessed state. If he completely loses control when his qi deviates, he wouldn’t be able to hide it. You saw his destructive power today! If he was completely unhinged, he’d go on a rampage and swallow everyone in sight. However, no one has said anything, so he must have some control.”


“Even if he has some control, he’s still dangerous,” Xiao Ling said.


“Xiao Ling, you still don’t get it? I found out his secret last time, so he’s already cautious of me. If I saw him deviated, he’d trust me even less and might kill me to keep his secret.”


“So you ran to him?” Xiao Ling finally understood.


“Yes,” Bai Yang said. “He wasn’t completely gone, so my current skill level, I thought I’d be able to wake him up and, as it happened, I did.”


“But it was really dangerous…. What if he wasn’t able to control his power, and hurt you…?”


“I was 70% sure.” Bai Yang paused before continuing: “I was so bold this time. Shouldn’t you praise me?”


Xiao Ling was silent for a moment, before saying: “Sir is so great!”


The silent conversation with Xiao Ling only lasted for a moment in reality. Bai Yang felt a touch on his chin. His face was forced upward, and his gaze met the Demon King of Eternal Night’s dark eyes.


The Demon King’s hand was very beautiful, yet extremely cold. His hand stroked Bai Yang’s face as though he were a precious treasure.


The cool touch caused Bai Yang’s body to tremble. The movement was very small, imperceptible to the Demon King of Eternal Night.


The biggest question now is how would the Demon King of Eternal Night deal with Bai Yang after everything that happened?


Bai Yang knew his secret: the Demon King of Eternal Night was being possessed by his inner demons. Will the Demon King of Eternal Night keep him, or kill him?


In Bai Yang’s heart, he felt the Demon King of Eternal Night wouldn’t kill him. He could have attacked the Demon King himself a moment ago, but instead tried to wake him. This act alone showed his loyalty.


The Demon King of Eternal Night’s cold hand stroked his face and chin for a moment longer, before pulling away.


“Okay. Bring me the Jade Cloud Pearl,” theDemon King of Eternal Night said softly.
