In times of peril, humans will show intelligence that they never could have imagined. Bai Yang raised his eyebrow deliberately and said, “I hate this person! Last time Black Cloud Sect was wiped out, I wanted to wipe him out along with it.”

The Demon King was a bit shocked, because Bai Yang rarely showed malice against others. “Why?”

“He broke faith and abandoned the plan, killed every last one, and then he wanted to use us for his own gain,” Bai Yang said in anger. “That time, I had planned to leave after destroying the Boundary Pillar. I didn’t want to wipe out the entire Black Cloud Sect, because we didn’t have strong foundations then, so if we caused too much ruckus and caused them to each send out their own people, our plans would’ve been greatly hindered.”

As he spoke, he pointed at the corpse on the ground in fury. “But this guy didn’t listen to orders and killed all the elders and a few disciples of the Black Cloud Sect, attracting the attention of the whole martial arts world.”

The Demon King nodded. “I also know of this.”

Bai Yang continued, “When he rushed in just now, he was screaming about how he was being chased by someone out to kill him, but I checked 500 meters in every direction, and there wasn’t a single trace of another person. It was obvious he was here to create a disturbance and expose our whereabouts, so I killed him in a moment of anger.”

The Demon King was silent for a moment before saying, “Zetian…”

Bai Yang’s heart twisted, he knew his reasoning was extremely implausible, but it was the best excuse he could come up with in this moment of desperation. He didn’t know whether or not the Demon King would believe him.

The Demon King stared at him for a moment and sighed: “Zetian, you must not act impulsively, you used your position for personal revenge, he would’ve still had some use, but you killed him just like that, it’s quite an inconvenience.”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness can punish me as you see fit.” Bai Yang hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

The Demon King stared at his head for a moment, who knows what he was thinking about.

“Forget it, if he’s dead then he’s dead, someone like him who dares to betray his own people can’t be trusted in the first place,” the Demon King finally said.

Bai Yang inwardly relaxed after hearing the Demon King’s words, like he had forgiven him for his actions.

Before he could celebrate, what the Demon King said next chilled him to the bone.

“What he said was probably the truth, someone could have broken in.” The Demon King looked towards the dark forest not far away. “He had no reason to lie about something like this, your actions were too hasty, you were in the wrong.”

“Then, Your Highness, what should we do now?” Bai Yang panicked, displaying an anxious expression on his face, but on the inside he was yelling: Zhou Ying run! Run as far as you can!

“Your Highness, please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes, I’ll go find the intruder right now,” he said, immediately cupping one fist in his other hand. If the Demon King allowed him to go investigate, then he could make sure the male lead left safely.

“It’s useless, that person’s long gone, I don’t feel anyone around us.” The Demon King shook his head. “With that, we can’t use this base anymore, call everyone to leave tomorrow.”
