Chapter 100

Editor: Aeonsiac
Zhou Ying was very familiar with the Soaring Clouds sect, so he could very carefully reach the foot of the mountain while avoiding the traps. The two stopped at the barrier, unable to force their way through. Only a disciple with the entrance token could enter.
“Dad, don’t worry.” Zhou Ying comforted, probably afraid that Bai Yang was worried. “Every two hours there would be a group of disciples coming down to patrol, we can find a few that are separated……”
Bai Yang immediately understood what he meant and nodded: “Yes.”
It would be best if they could get the data pack without alarming anyone, worst-case scenario, they can force their way in, it’s not like they haven’t done that before.
The two hid on a big tree like panthers.
Probably bored, Zhou Ying asked quietly: “Dad, what exactly is that important thing, what does it look like?”
Bai Yang thought: Who am I supposed to ask if you ask me?
He said very calmly: “We’ll know when we get there.”
Zhou Ying probably guessed that he didn’t want to talk about that, so he asked again: “Is the boundary pillar really at the Soaring Clouds Sect? How did you know?”
Bai Yang thought: Because I read the novel.
After thinking for a moment, he said: “From my investigations.”
Zhou Ying originally wanted to deepen their father-son bond, but Bai Yang didn’t allow an opportunity. Unable to continue the awkward conversation, he shut up and stared at the path up ahead.
A moment later, two youngsters wearing the Soaring Clouds Sect’s disciple clothes appeared.
The Soaring Clouds Sect patrolled in groups of two, at fixed locations.
Good.
Without needing Zhou Ying to say anything, Bai Yang floated down silently, lightly landing behind the two disciples, and knocked them unconscious as Zhou Ying shouted: “Don’t kill them!”
Bai Yang bent down and found the entrance tokens on them, throwing one to Zhou Ying.
“Let’s go.” Bai Yang said.
Zhou Ying was a bit embarrassed, he really thought Bai Yang was about to kill them just now.
Bai Yang didn’t look like he cared, pressing the token to the barrier. A gap opened and he walked through, with Zhou Ying following suit.
Everything about the Soaring Clouds Sect was very familiar to Zhou Ying, he led Bai Yang and avoided all the traps, arriving at a small hill soon after.
There were many houses on the hill, all built very sturdily. They were divided into a lot of small rooms, each housing two people, with a couple larger ones that housed a dozen or so people.
With a glance, Bai Yang realized that this was where the lowest ranking disciples lived.
Zhou Ying led Bai Yang to a room at the very corner, passing through the lock and entering. The room was really small, relatively clean, with only one bed.
Bai Yang remembered that in the novel, Zhou Ying didn’t like staying with others, so he tried everything he could to be put into this room.
“So this is where you lived?” Bai Yang looked around and asked.
Zhou Ying nodded, “Dad, what are you looking for?”
Bai Yang looked around, quickly scanning over each and every thing in the room. A bed, a small round table, two tall stools, a closet the height of a person, and a shelf for various knick-knacks.
Bai Yang searched through the bed first without finding anything, then he checked the closet, again, nothing. Lastly, he inspected everything on the shelf, but he still didn’t find anything abnormal.
Bai Yang was a bit confused, “Xiao Ling, where’s the data pack?”
Xiao Ling was also confused, “Sir, I don’t know.”
Bai Yang: “What does the data pack look like?”
Xiao Ling: “I don’t know!”
Bai Yang: “&#k2026;&#k2026;”
Bai Yang looked through everything again, but there was still nothing.
“Dad, what exactly are you looking for?” Zhou Ying asked, “I can help you search for it.”
Bai Yang didn’t know how to explain what it was, he angrily said: “Just a damn data pack thatI can’t find anywhere!”
Just as he finished speaking, a few rays of light appeared out of nowhere on the small table. The rays of light rapidly grew, tangling like a computer generating a 2D drawing. The more it tangled the more there was. After the light vanished, a small black pill lay in its place.
Seeing this, Bai Yang immediately understood that this pill was the data pack.
“Found it.” Bai Yang picked up the pill.
Zhou Ying still hasn’t recovered from the shock. This was his room, he was very clear about what was in it, but he never knew that there was this pill.
The scene just now was too mysterious, he never saw anything like that before.
“What is it?” Zhou Ying asked curiously.
Bai Yang itched to just shove the pill in his mouth, but it wasn’t the time nor place to do so. He pulled him over and started out the door, speaking quietly: “I’ll explain after we leave.”
As they walked to the door, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and a female voice sounded: “Who is it?!”
With the woman’s words, the sharp light of a sword flew through the door.
Bai Yang almost walked into it.
To hide their traces, he curbed his spirituality and didn’t notice there was someone outside. He hurriedly caught the sword between two fingers, stopping the woman’s attack.
The woman was shocked. She tried to retract her sword but it wouldn’t budge.
Bai Yang already had a murderous intent.
But at that moment, Zhou Ying said quietly: ”Qinger?”
The woman froze.
Bai Yang thought: Qinger? Zhao Qinger?
With the dim light of the moon, he saw the woman. It was clearly Zhao Qinger dressed in black.
What is she doing, coming to Zhou Ying’s room in the middle of the night?
“Is it you?” Zhao Qinger trembled slightly, her pretty eyes filled with tears, like she was about to start crying any second now.
Bai Yang sighed, backing up into the darkness to wait for these little lovebirds to talk about their feelings and profess their love for each other. He really wanted to drag Zhou Ying away and shove the pill in his mouth, but he’s a good dad.
Zhao Qinger rushed in, burying herself in Zhou Ying’s embrace and cried: “Am I dreaming? I’m meeting you again, Zhou Ying, is it really you? Tell me this is not a dream……”
Zhou Ying was helpless for a moment, hugging her and saying: “It’s me.”
Zhao Qinger beat at his chest with her small fists, while crying: “You stupid liar! Why didn’t you come back to see me, don’t you know I……”
Zhou Ying asked on purpose: “What’s wrong?”
Zhao Qinger punched him again and blushed: “Idiot~”
“You missed me?” Zhou Ying laughed teasingly.
Zhao Qinger’s face was red.
Bai Yang stood off to the side and rolled his eyes, continuing his “you can’t see me” act.
Finally meeting again after so long, the little lovebirds stuck to each other like glue and whispered sweet nothings. Seeing them looking like they were going to be like this until dawn, Bai Yang broke them apart, saying coldly: “It’s getting late, it’s time to go.”
“Who?!” Zhao Qinger didn’t realize there was someone else in the room and was startled.
Bai Yang was a bit worried that her shout would wake the neighbours and he said: “Quiet.”
Zhou Ying calmed her down, “Don’t be scared, he’s not a bad person.”
Zhao Qinger looked at Bai Yang, but it was too dark for her to see clearly. She turned and asked Zhou Ying, “Who is he?”
Zhou Ying was silent.
Bai Yang thought Zhou Ying probably only says he accepted him but deep inside he still felt distance because of Bai Yang’s identity as one of the demon race.
But what about it?
Bai Yang spoke for him in a cold voice: “I’m Zhou Ying’s father, and also your future father-in-law.”
Zhou Ying: “……”
Zhao Qinger: “……”
Bai Yang walked out from the darkness, his appearance had already returned to normal, with black hair and black eyes looking very handsome.
Zhao Qinger sucked in a cold breath and pointed at him: “Isn’t he……”
Zhou Ying gripped her hand, “Don’t be afraid, he really is my dad.”
Zhao Qinger was confused, back then she was also one of the people Bai Yang had held hostage, and now the kidnapper had turned into her father-in-law. Her worldview took a massive hit.
Bai Yang urged Zhou Ying again, “Let’s go, the sun is going to rise at this rate.”
Zhou Ying reluctantly turned to Zhao Qinger and said: “Qinger, I have to go, I’ll…… I’ll come back to see you in the future.”
Zhao Qinger grabbed onto the corner of his clothes, urgency showing in her eyes, “Zhou Ying…… I……”
Perhaps she wanted to tell Zhou Ying to stay, but in the end she didn’t say anything.
Zhou Ying is in an awkward position right now, if she forced him to stay, it would only bring disaster to him. As one of the male lead’s girls, how could she do something like that?
So Zhao Qinger didn’t say anything in the end.
Bai Yang dragged Zhou Ying over and started out.
“Zhou Ying!” Zhao Qinger chased them out of the room.
Zhou Ying childishly stopped in his tracks immediately, turning back to Zhao Qinger.
Zhao Qinger walked to his side, raising her head and saying: “I…… I like you.”
Shock, sadness, and annoyance flashed through Zhou Ying’s pitch black eyes. Finally, he cupped her face with his hands and placed a kiss on her forehead, saying gently: “Wait for me.”
And then he left without turning back.
Zhao Qinger’s gaze followed him as he left.
From beginning to end, Bai Yang could only sigh emotionally at how pure love in the human realm was. Unlike the Demon King, who immediately jumped on him. If the scenario from earlier was him and the Demon King, he probably wouldn’t even be able to get off the bed, let alone think about leaving.
The Demon King……
Bai Yang subconsciously reached out to clutch the South Sea Mermaid’s pearl around his neck that was already covered in cracks. Who knows how the Demon King is doing now.
Is he very disappointed, very angry?
With those thoughts, Bai Yang and Zhou Yong left the Soaring Clouds Sect.
-At the entrance of the channel between the demon and human realm-
After doing a head-count of everyone, Zhong Shuo and Hua Feihua said to the man at the very front: “Reporting to Your Highness, everyone is here.”
The Demon King was dressed in a black robe, no expression showing on his handsome face. He turned to look at the army standing at the ready, saying in a deep voice: “Time to set off.”
With a fling of his sleeve, his black cloak cut a sharp arc in the darkness.
The Demon King stood at the very front, directly walking into the channel.
Hua Feihua followed suit, with a hundred highly trained members of the demon race behind him.
Zhong Shuo stayed behind to hold up the rear, and to manage the main forces.
The main forces from every direction all gathered at the remains of the Palace of Eternal Darkness, awaiting the last decisive battle.
With the destruction of the boundary pillar, the barrier between the human and demon realm would disappear, and the main forces would break into the human realm under Zhong Shuo’s lead, quickly taking over the entire region with Black Cloud Gate at the core. Everything had already been set up around Black Cloud Gate. The demon race will treat that as their base and attack other regions in the human realm.
However, this was all under the condition that they can enter the Soaring Clouds Sect and destroy the boundary pillar.
The Soaring Clouds Sect is the number one greatest sect, with as many experts as there are clouds. The Demon King didn’t dare lower his guard. He led Hua Feihua and the elite members of the demon race forward, coordinating with Lou Jianfeng to hopefully finish it all in one go before the sect could realize what was happening.
They were on the verge of war.
-The human realm-
The sky was getting brighter.
Bai Yang and Zhou Ying arrived at the cave they stayed at before. Bai Yang handed the pill to Zhou Ying, “Eat this.”
Zhou Ying asked in curiosity: “Dad, what exactly is this? Why would it be in my room?”
Bai Yang said: “This is something that can increase your power, hurry and eat it, there’s no way I would harm you.”
After going through so much, the two had already built up some trust.
With no doubts, Zhou Ying took the pill and swallowed it.
His eyes went wide.
At the same time, Ji Yuna’s calm voice sounded in Bai yang’s head.
“Data pack activated, beginning countdown, three, two, one!”
With a loud rumble, an enormous amount of spiritual power burst from Zhou Ying, and countless data chains flew out from his body. The ones at the top began to climb up, after reaching a specific value, the golden data chains were fixed in place, before flying back into Zhou Ying’s body and everything returned to normal.
“Little Bai, take the tracker in your hand immediately, it can accurately show you Xie Zetian’s location. Find him, and kill him!”
“I’m…… I’m at the River Crossing Stage?” Zhou Ying’s shocked voice sounded, “How…… How?”
He only ate a pill, and then he immediately leveled up to the River Crossing Stage, Zhou Ying was confused.
Bai Yang looked him up and down, Zhou Ying was filled with an unimaginable rhythm, and his eyes were brighter and smarter. The immense power made him feel a bit of pressure.
“What is this?” Zhou Ying looked down in shock.
Bai Yang looked over, seeing that a flashing tracker had appeared in Zhou Ying’s hand. After beeping a few times, an electronic female voice sounded: “Detecting that Xie Zetian is right beside you, kill him!”
