In the blink of an eye, it was evening. The Demon King never left the lodge once. He’d only just arrived in the human realm to take care of matters, and he had many people he needed to meet with.

The moon was bright and there were a few stars in the sky. Bai Yang, who had nothing to do, wandered around idly until he was some distance away.

Suddenly, he noticed a burst of movement in the nearby forest.

“Who’s there?” He sensed someone whose cultivation was probably at the Ascension Stage quickly approaching him.

“Help! Save me!” That person heard Bai Yang’s voice and immediately rushed, running and screaming, in his direction. Their aged voice was full of fear.

This person should be an older man, judging by their voice.

Bai Yang was wary.

This place could be considered the middle of nowhere as there were no humans within 100 li. Moreover, Lou Jianfeng’s people had set up a maze array here. If someone burst in, they’d get caught in it. This man, however, was able to cut through and break in. The most likely scenario was that he knew how to unravel the array.

Bai Yang thought about it for a moment and then, in a flash, appeared in front of the owner of the voice.

The man’s vision was blurred. When he saw that a person had landed before him, he was immediately overjoyed. He shouted loudly, “Help me! Quickly save me! Someone is coming after me!”

Bai Yang took advantage of the moonlight to carefully examine the person. Once he’d looked him over, he smiled. Surprisingly, this person was someone familiar. He was originally an elder of the Black Cloud Sect who was actually an agent for the demon race: Elder Qiu.

This Elder Qiu was very interesting. He betrayed his clan and cooperated with demons. Later, he ran away to Xianmen and won their sympathy by crying and saying that there’d been a demon invasion. He later assumed the position of Black Cloud Sect’s Elder and was immensely proud of himself. Even though he never openly quarreled with the demon race, he was constantly using dirty tricks in private. Bai Yang was there when Lou Jianfeng reported the matter in full detail to the Demon King, and so, naturally, he knew all of it.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was still somewhat useful, the Demon King probably would have already let Lou Jianfeng kill him.

Bai Yang didn’t have a good impression of this man. He smiled faintly and his voice was a bit cold. “I was wondering who it was making such a scene. Turns out it’s Elder Qiu.”

Elder Qiu also seemed to recognize the person in front of him and paused. He said, pleasantly surprised, “It’s Lord Xie! Lord Xie, save me!”

He seemed relieved, less nervous.

Bai Yang sized him up and saw that his clothes were shabby, his hair was a mess, and there were some wounds on his face. He really cut a sorry figure.

“What happened? Who’s after you?” Bai Yang asked calmly.

Seeing one of the four guardians of the Demon Realm, Elder Qiu completely relaxed. He took a breath and said, “It’s that damn youngster Zhou Ying! He knows my secret. He’s been trying to kill me!”

Although Bai Yang continued to appear indifferent, when he heard that sentence, he was instantly nervous. Zhou Ying? That Zhou Ying?

Outwardly, he said calmly, “Who did you say was after you?”
