Bai Yang asked suspiciously, “Your Highness?”
“Do you like flowers?” the Demon King asked suddenly.
Bai Yang subconsciously replied, “Yes.”
“It would be nice to see the sea of flowers, since we can’t see the waterfall.” The Demon King’s lips curved into a smile. His mood had visibly improved. “I’m curious about what that so-called sea of flowers looks like.”
Bai Yang, who had made up the waterfall in the first place, felt a little guilty. Therefore, his attitude towards the other was especially good. “If Your Highness wants to take a look, I’ll accompany you.”
The Demon King coughed and turned his head a little uneasily. “It’s not that I’m interested. Anyway, we don’t have anywhere else to go. It’s better to have a look at that spot for young couples.”
“Your Highness is correct.” Bai Yang still wasn’t sure if the Demon King suspected him or not. He was nervous so he would go along with whatever the Demon King said.
They asked how to get to the ravine and quickly arrived at their destination.
The ravine was about 10 li from Anning Village in a relatively remote area. The road wasn’t very even, and it crossed over a high mountain, winding through a gap between two mountains before finally reaching the ravine.
The path that led to the ravine was completely made of bluestone. There had been a light rain that day, and the road was very slippery. Possibly due to this, there were very few people on the trail.
Bai Yang and the Demon King didn’t use teleportation. Rather, like normal people, they walked step by step along the bluestone rock path.
Despite being a long journey, it still had to end. After about half a shichen, they arrived at the ravine.
What was strange was that there was no one else in the ravine. The reason no one came was likely because of the rain.
The Demon King was in high spirits. Bai Yang had something on his mind and could only pretend to be happy.
In the ravine, they saw a vast slope. The grass on the slope was very thick. While there were many flower buds, there were only a few scattered flowers.
Bai Yang thought: We really did arrive too early. If we come again another time, the whole mountain will be covered in flowers, as gorgeous as looking at a sunset.
The Demon King was a bit disappointed. “Human couples like coming to this kind of place?”
The scenery was very ordinary. There weren’t even any historical sites or scenic spots. It definitely wasn’t a world-famous beautiful landscape. The Demon King’s disappointment was understandable.
Bai Yang originally hadn’t planned on admiring any beautiful scenery. In the end, he could only force himself to try and enjoy it.
“This place has all kinds of landscapes, and the surroundings are very elegant. It can still be considered a nice place.” He looked around and continued to give commentary. “If the flowers had been blooming, it would surely have been a magnificent sight.”
The Demon King mulled over his words and nodded. “You’re right.”
Bai Yang said, “It seems that that person hadn’t lied. We really did arrive a little early. The flowers haven’t bloomed yet.”
The Demon King raised an eyebrow.
He seemed to be contemplating something. After a moment, he opened his mouth as if he were about to speak when suddenly they heard laughter. It shattered the ravine’s elegance and tranquility.
Bai Yang turned his head and saw some youngsters coming down the path. They all were dressed like cultivators and wore white robes. The man looked uncommonly handsome, and the women seemed charming and cute.
The gorgeous man was leading the way and his manner was very arrogant. He looked down his nose at everyone. Surrounding him were four women who all seemed to like him. They fawned over him and chattered around him. The man didn’t say a word. From time to time, he’d nod his head. Judging from his expression, he really enjoyed having a crowd of women around him.
Behind the group were two attendants who had the same ingratiating expressions. From time to time, they would converse with the man.
The group of people talked as they walked and quickly arrived at the hillside.
“Aiya, what kind of couple’s spot is this? Where are the flowers?” one woman complained cutely.
“Big brother Qingshan, let’s go back,” another woman said. “It’s damp here and the flowers haven’t bloomed. It’s not fun at all.”
“True, true.” The other two women nodded in agreement.
The hillside was very spacious. As the group of people chatted and walked up the hill, naturally, they saw Bai Yang and the Demon King.
Bai Yang and the Demon King used magic to make their faces look ordinary, however, their height remained the same and their mannerisms were very distinctive. They immediately attracted the women’s attention.
“Who are you guys? Why are you here?” the two attendants asked, stepping forward. “Don’t you know that today our young master was coming to the ravine? No one else can enter.”
Bai Yang suddenly realized, he’d just been wondering why no one was in the ravine. Turns out a rich family had reserved it.
However, this ravine wasn’t a modern-day travel spot that would sell tickets. No one could control who was allowed to enter or not.
“I hadn’t heard,” Bai Yang said indifferently. “This ravine isn’t managed by your family. Why can’t I be here?”
“Who are you? To speak in such a way to our young master!” The other attendant became angry. He pointed at Bai Yang’s nose and said, “Don’t you know who our young master is?”
Bai Yang asked calmly, “Oh? Who is your young master?”
He turned to look at the man in white robes, surrounded by his entourage. That man looked at Bai Yang and the Demon King, his gaze somewhat gloomy. His expression was clearly unhappy.
“Our young master is the young master of the Mingjian Mountain village! He’s also the Demon Vanquisher, the Son of Fate who will save the world!” the attendant said proudly.
The young master of Mingjian Mountain village? The Son of Fate?
Bai Yang was slightly stunned. He’d never heard of Mingjian Mountain village. It was probably some small obscure mountain village, but what was this about a Son of Fate?
The Demon King stood silently at his side from the moment those people appeared. His expression had also been indifferent, but as soon the attendant announced that the man in white robes was the Son of Fate, that cold expression finally changed.
“They say you’re the Son of Fate?” the Demon King suddenly spoke, his voice deep, his gaze boring into the man in white robes.
The man in white robes cowered a bit under his gaze and then glared back viciously and said, “What are you looking at? It’s true. This young master is the Son of Fate! I spread the news already. Today, only me and my people can come to this ravine. No one else can enter! Why don’t you two get out of here.”
His attitude was very arrogant and aggressive.
There was a flash of killing intent in the Demon King’s eyes.
Bai Yang saw this and knew the Demon King already had the intention of killing the man. He promptly stepped towards the man in white and said, “Son of Fate? How do you know you’re the Son of Fate?”
“You dare question our young master’s identity?” the two attendants immediately jumped out and yelled. “Our young master has already been admitted to Soaring Cloud Sect and is being instructed personally by the sect leader. The Soaring Cloud Sect has already determined that our young master is the Son of Fate, how could others dare to question it?”
Bai Yang observed the Demon King and said, “I remember the Fengxiang genius of Fenghuang City is also the Son of Fate. You are only fake goods. Go away.”
He didn’t have a good impression of this arrogant and aggressive person, but he wasn’t willing to do anymore killing, so he wanted to warn him away. He was actually pointing out to the Demon King that this person was fake goods. He knew the Demon King wanted to kill all the Sons of Fate, but if he knew this person wasn’t the real one, he probably wouldn’t kill him.
Unfortunately, that group of people didn’t listen to him. His words only served to poke the hornet’s nest and the man in white’s face turned sour. “You dare say I’m fake? How absurd!”
“Yeah, who are you to suddenly question our young master?”
“Too hateful!”
One by one, the others glared at Bai Yang.
“If I don’t teach you a lesson today, I’ll be too embarrassed to leave the mountain!” The man in white robes slowly drew out his sword. “Taste my blade. Let’s see if you’ll still call me fake goods!”
Before he even finished speaking, the man in white was already holding out the sword and attacking Bai Yang.
He truly doesn’t know what’s good for him!
Bai Yang originally didn’t want to kill anyone, but sadly, the man in white wasn’t tactful or polite.
He’d just lifted a hand to shoot magic when a figure rushed in front of him. The man in white, who had originally attacked with great momentum, was pushed back by a strong force and fell heavily to the ground.
“Young master!”
“Young master, are you alright!”
A few people immediately rushed to his side and supported him up.
“Everyone, get the hell off me!” The man in white cut a sorry figure. He shouted, discomfited, “Help me kill them!”
The corner of the Demon King’s mouth twitched up and he revealed a bloodthirsty smile. “Son of Fate… very good. Since you came to us, we naturally won’t be polite.”
Some attacked from all sides with their swords. Bai Yang stared coldly at them with his hands behind his back.
The sound of blades clashing rang clearly followed by screams. In no time at all, the group of people had fallen to the floor. They’d all been killed by the violent earthquake caused by demonic qi.
The man in white was the strongest among them. There was still breath left in him. Seeing the others, he squirmed on the ground, frightened and crawled over, begging, “Let me go… I beg of you….”
The Demon King walked up to him and stomped his head into the ground. He smiled and said, “What’s wrong? You insisted on being the Son of Fate.”
He then put more force into his leg and there was a popping sound, like something exploded.
The flat hillside was a mess. There were body’s strewn around and red blood on the green grass. The contrast was striking.
Bai Yang had already mentally prepared himself for the Demon King to kill these people, but to see him using this kind of cold-hearted method, like crushing ants, really shook him.
This was the book’s main villain.
Ambitious and ruthless.
If he knew what Bai Yang had done, wouldn’t he end up having his head crushed by the Demon King?!
Bai Yang panicked a bit.
He’d been with the Demon King for a long time and had been pampered by him, making him overlook the fact that the Demon King was the villain.
Of course, he had no right to judge the Demon King’s actions. After all, his hands weren’t clean either. For example, that time he persuaded Black Cloud Sect to exterminate an entire family. And that time he killed Elder Qiu without hesitation.
“Zetian?”
