The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

282. Black Illusory City

Translator: 飞弹

A man with a sepulchral face was floating outside the window and stared at him coldly. He looked like Death who came to the world against the dim moonlight.

His eyes looked as if he was watching a dead person, and the strong killing intention and ferocious aura that lingered around him made everyone present become despairing.

When Unda saw the man, his reaction was more intense than everyone else. He fell to the ground with a scream in horror, so frightened that it made him wet himself. He would never forget his face even when he died, because this man was the first person he sold to the evil merchant. Unda had already forgotten his name but he would not forget his face.

“You… you… you…” Unda was too stunned to speak.

His reaction made everyone know that he should be acquainted with the man outside the window. However, it looked like he was not Unda’s friend, but more like his enemy. When they saw the bloodthirsty killing intent on the man’s face, everyone was so frightened that they quickly crawled out of the room, except for Unda and the young procuress who was too scared to climb out of the room. Someone even “considerately” closed the door when he fled.

The man walked into the room in the air and looked down at him, “Do you still know me?”

How could Unda not know him? When he saw this face, he had completely remembered everything, including his name. The man’s expression clearly told him that he was here for revenge.

“Dong Ling, I… I’m sorry. I didn’t deliberately lie to you at that time… Please forgive me… I won’t do it anymore… Please forgive me… I really won’t dare to do it anymore…” Unda had pissed his pants. He crawled in front of the man and kept kowtowing and apologizing to him.

The man looked at him with disgust. He really didn’t know how Dong Ling in the past would have made a friend with such a disgusting person back then.

“Forgive you? When you sold me back then, why didn’t you think of letting me off? Now that you’re begging me, it’s just disgusting. I’ll give you two choices. First, you commit suicide. Second, I kill you myself.”

“Is…is there no other choices?” Unda was immediately paralyzed with fear.

“Third, tell me the evil merchant who cooperated with you back then,” There was suddenly a calculating light flashing through man’s eyes.

“Alright, I’ll tell you. As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll say anything.” As if clutching at straws, Unda reached out his hands to grab the man’s leg excitedly. The latter moved a little and avoided his hands, but the disgust on his face continued unabated.

“Where is the evil merchant now?” The man asked.

“Have you promised not to kill me?” When his life was threatened, Unda would not become confused. As the man did not agree, he would always be restless.

“You have no choice. If you say it, I might consider letting you go. If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you right now. After all, I’ll be able to investigate it myself,” The man did not have any sympathy in his eyes, leaving only a sense of killing intent and scheme. But Unda, who was lowering his head, didn’t notice it.

“Okay, I’ll tell you,” Unda knew that he had no way to retreat, so he could only gamble this time.

He only sold Dong Ling to the evil merchant at that time. With Dong Ling’s personality, he thought Dong Ling shouldn’t have been very vindictive. Moreover, Dong Ling was asking about the whereabouts of the evil merchant, so he must have wanted to find the merchant and avenge himself on him. Then it may be possible that Unda could be alive. For the sake of the “acquaintance”, Dong Ling might let him off.

With this in mind, Unda said, “The evil merchant doesn’t have a settled home, but on the last night of every month, he will go to the Commerce Ship Alliance. There are several flying beasts he raised there, which is obscure. On the end of the month, he will cart those slaves off onto the flying beasts and send them to their destination. But I don’t know exactly where they will be sent.”

“That’s all?”

“Yes.”

“Really? Then, you can die.”

The cold and merciless voice reached Unda’s ear from above his head. His head had fallen from his neck as his eyes dilated with fear.

The young procuress screamed and fainted.

This was the result that the man had considered. Unda would never know that the man was no longer the weak Dong Ling he used to be. Now, he could kill without blinking. As for a scum like Unda, the man had never thought of letting him off.

An hour later, the people from the Thunder Leopard Bandit Gang secretly opened the door of the room. Then the head of Unda, which dropped off from his body with opened eyes in shock, came into the view, together with the blood which had splattered across the ground. Even if they had seen some frightful scenes before, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

After the cultivation level had improved, Feng Ling no longer needed to be afraid of people in the Great Plain.

Although he was only on the level of one-star Exalt God, his strength was far greater than those who were one-star Exalt God. He didn’t know the reason of it. It might be related to that person, but for him now, no matter what the process had been, it would be okay that the result made him satisfied.

It didn’t take long before he arrived at Commerce Ship Alliance. His body blended into the darkness and no one noticed his arrival.

It happened to be the last night of this month today. Feng Ling sneaked in without a sound and soon found the person he was looking for. Although the action at night was not noticeable, it was impossible for him to be completely quiet. Besides, the flying beasts were so big that it was impossible for them not to notice Feng Ling when flying. Soon, he saw five people carrying a group of people draped in black cotton bags onto the flying beasts.

Feng Ling really wanted to rip the evil merchant apart with his hands right now, but he could only rely on the merchant if he wanted to enter Black Illusory City. Besides, he could not reveal his identity for the time being just in case.

Feng Ling stunned one of the subordinates of the evil merchant under the cover of darkness, and then disguised himself as that subordinate and went onto the flying beast.

The flying beasts flew in a direction that he didn’t know under their operation and soon melted into the darkness.

Feng Ling, who had left Tiefeng City, did not expect that after he left just now, a handsome man dressed in white with white hair went to the brothel he had gone to. With the description of the young procuress who was trembling, the man knew that he had been here and killed his first enemy. And he even knew where Feng Ling was going now.

Unexpectedly, the people of Tianya Bandit Gang happened to be nearby. When they heard one of their members was killed, those people immediately rushed to the brothel and just bumped into the man in white. The people of Tianya Bandit Gang thought that he was in cahoots with Feng Ling, so they put it on him and fought with him. After less than three minutes, the blood sprayed across the room. And a few of important powerhouses of Tianya Bandit Gang also died here.

From now on, the Tianya Bandit Gang was truly a third-rate force, and it had never been restored to its former glory.

When he left, the handsome man in white with white hair only said one sentence.

“Since he doesn’t like them, then die!”

The edges of the Great Plain were surrounded by the rolling hills. Five days later, they arrived here. In the middle of their trip, they carefully changed routes and flying beasts several times. And they did it in the middle of the night every time, which became a cover for the disguised Feng Ling. Therefore, when they arrived in Black Illusory City, none noticed something strange with him.

No wonder no one had been able to find the location of Black Illusory City. It turned out that it was built on the edge of the Great Plain. Not only was it protected by the mountains, there were also a lot of hallucinatory barriers on the perimeter of the city. Generally speaking, an ordinary cultivator could not break in, and if he forced to do it, he would only get lost in the barriers.

The evil merchant had been doing this sort of work for years and the whole process was very successful. They entered Black Illusory City after they checked in for less than half a day.

No one could know that the scene of Black Illusory City was not as spooky as the outside world had imagined. On the contrary, it was like a fairyland, which was very beautiful. Those who were cheated to come here would never imagine how horrible and evil it was, which was the other side of this city, because they still immersed themselves in the beautiful future fabricated by the evil merchants. Seeing the scenery of the city, they were still giggling happily.

Feng Ling had just been one of them back then. He still remembered the true colors that the evil merchant revealed after telling him the truth.

The merchant smiled and said to everyone, “Welcome to Black Illusory City. From today onwards, you are slaves without freedom and will be sold as goods.”

His words were like a thunderbolt, causing everyone’s mind to go blank. Now, this sentence once again reached Feng Ling’s ears, but now he was no longer the weak Dong Ling at that time. He was no longer the innocent Dong Ling who didn’t know how to resist and would only be scared with a pale face.

Viper was a type of cold-blooded animal. They were both treacherous and sinister. They often hid in the darkness and waited for the chances. When they were sure that the prey wouldn’t be able to escape, they would reveal their sharp venomous fangs and sink them into the body of the prey, giving it a fatal blow.

The current Feng Ling was just like a clever viper, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

He was not an impulsive person. Even though he really wanted to destroy this Black Illusory City now, he knew that it was impossible for him to do it with his current strength, so he could only be patient. It was precisely because he had the extraordinary patience and willpower that he could deceive that person. As for this point, he had great confidence in himself.

The evil merchant wouldn’t stay in Black Illusory City for too long. Feng Ling wanted to kill him first, but he was afraid that he might wake a sleeping dog, so he could only let him live for the time being. When Feng Ling’s business was over, he would naturally go to visit him.

After six hours, the evil merchant finished his business and was about to return. But when he was counting the number of the people present, he found that there was one person missing.

The merchant thought that person had got lost, so he sent someone to look for him. As a result, he found out that someone outside had insinuated himself into his team and sneaked into Black Illusory City. The evil merchant was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. If the leaders of the city knew that there was something wrong with the people he brought, which made someone sneaked in, they would definitely blame him for it. And they may stop the deals with him by then.

The merchant dared not to publicize it, so he could only send his men to search for the missing one secretly around the city.

At this time, Feng Ling had already sneaked near the prison, where the people who had been all sold in were imprisoned. Because he had been sent to the prison before, he was familiar with this place.
