The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

283. Humanity And Loyalty

Translator: 飞弹

There were two prisons in Black Illusory City.

A large number of slaves were under lock in one prison. The slaves were also graded from superior, moderate, to inferior ones. Superior slaves each lived in a single cell, while every ten moderate slaves lived in a cell. As for the inferior slaves, they wouldn’t be sent into a new cell until the old one was stuffed with people.

The other prison was holding many types of fierce Demon Beasts. In addition to trading slaves in Black Illusory City, there was also a Demon Beast Arena in the city.

It was a huge arena formed by a heavy iron wall where the Demon Beasts fought against each other inside to satisfy some people’s twisted desires. At the same time, Black Illusory City would start the gambling so that the audience sitting in the seats on the iron wall could bet which Demon Beast would win.

Such competitions were prohibited in God and Demon Kingdom. Since Black Illusory City dared to do such things and hide them from Nine Heaven Gods and God Demon Tower, it was obvious that the hidden mafia behind the city was very powerful.

Even though it was held in secret, a large number of people would come to watch it every month.

In addition, there would be some exceptions in the arena, such as changing the Demon Beasts into slaves without freedom or human rights, or letting the slaves fight with Demon Beasts.

This kind of inhumane behavior was usually held once in three months. Every time people watched it and participated in the gambling, the number of the audience would break through the previous record entry, and the reason why it was so popular was because of the unending shows in the arena. Sometimes they would deliberately get the word out and make some stunts, such as the show in which two brothers fought for a woman.

In the past, Dong Ling didn’t have the ability and he dared not to imagine it. Now Feng Ling had some strength. His biggest goal was to destroy Black Illusory City.

After sneaking into Black Illusory City, Feng Ling’s first goal was to open the prison where the Demon Beasts were held and release all the Demon Beasts, letting them damage everything in Black Illusory City. Demon Beasts were not the ones without spiritual intelligence. The hatred of the Demon Beasts in the prison towards Black Illusory City was not weaker than that of slaves. Once they broke out, even if Black Illusory City had the ability to suppress them, they would pay a huge price.

However, because of the strong power of the Demon Beasts, the prison holding the Demon Beast was heavy guarded, and it was not easy to sneak in.

Feng Ling had been staying outside the prison for four hours, and it was almost dawn. He hadn’t figured out a way around it yet. Just as he was considering the possibility of forcible entry, all the guards who were guarding the Demon Beast prison suddenly left. Looking at the gate which instantly became empty, Feng Ling hesitated for a moment before sneaking in.

Although he didn’t know what was going on, it was indeed his only chance now.

It wasn’t that Feng Ling had never thought that it might be a trap. Perhaps the evil merchant had discovered his identity, but for the sake of his future, he didn’t dare to publicize it. As a shady merchant, if Black Illusory City no longer cooperated with him, it meant that his end would only be death, because only the dead would not reveal their secret.

The entire prison was built of high quality iron, and there were only a few dim yellow lamps in the dark prison. The snuffles of the Demon Beasts were infinitely amplified in the quiet darkness, and as soon as Feng Ling stepped in, he would have a creepy feeling all over his body.

Each cell was tall and large, and there were many huge Demon Beasts held in it. Probably because they sensed someone coming in, most of the Demon Beasts in the cells opened their eyes and stared coldly at Feng Ling, who was dressed in a black robe. They all looked up and down him with distrust. They thought Feng Ling was one of Black Illusory City’s men.

Feng Ling walked inside quickly. He knew that the more powerful the Demon Beast was, the deeper it was locked up in the prison.

Originally, Feng Ling thought that what were imprisoned in the last cell should be the most powerful Demon Beasts, but when he saw the appearance of the ‘Demon Beast’, Feng Ling, who was usually calm, couldn’t help but frown in surprise. The one held in the cell was not a super powerful Demon Beast, but a cute child whose skin was fair and tender.

The child looked to be only three or four years old, and the cheeks were fair and tender. The cell that held him was very small compared to the other cells, but it was still very big for the child. The child sat quietly inside. When he saw Feng Ling, he raised his head and looked at him with his bright and big eyes. The appearance that the child was near to tears was very cute, but also made people feel sorry for him.

For some reason, when Feng Ling saw the child, he felt that it had shaken his tough heart.

A voice was shouting wildly in his heart, telling him to release the child.

Just as Feng Ling was hesitating, the child in the cell suddenly jumped up. His two watery eyes were replaced by the glittering light. He ran to the edge of the cell with his short legs, reached out his little hand and waved hard at Feng Ling, gurgling with excitement.

Feng Ling frowned in surprise. ‘What is going on?’

“Young man, what do you have to do with this little boy?” An old voice rang out in the air. It came from the cell next door. In the cell, there was an Earth Bear whose body was as big as a mountain. It looked a little old and seemed to have become a Demon Beast in old age. There were various wounds on its body, which were extremely outrageous.

“Why do I have anything to do with him? I don’t know him,” Feng Ling’s voice was cold, but after he finished, he found that the child’s excited expression suddenly turned back to the appearance that he was about to cry. He looked so pitiful that the his eyes seemed to be accusing him.

“Then you must have the same scent of his fellows, so he thought that he saw his family. To be honest, if you don’t work for Black Illusory City, I beg you to take the boy away. Such a little boy shouldn’t spend his life here. If it weren’t for the fact that he is still too young now, those cruel people in Black Illusory City would have long let him come onto the field. Although you have a strong sense of killing intent, I believe you are not a real bad person. So please help him, we entreat you.”

Every day, seeing this cute boy cry silently, the Earth Bear couldn’t help but be moved no matter how tough its heart was. Unfortunately, it had long lost the ability to escape.

As soon as the Earth Bear finished, Feng Ling found that there were many eyes of Demon Beasts around alighting on him. What shocked him was that they were all looking at him with imploring look, but he still had another doubt in his heart.

“You mean that this child is a Demon Beast?” Feng Ling was shocked. Was there such a young Demon Beast who could change itself into the human shape?

“Although I don’t know what Demon Beast the boy is, I can be sure that he should be the descendant of a super Mythical Beast and he is likely to be the super Mythical Beast itself. Because in the Three Worlds, there are only the descendants of super Mythical Beasts who can change themselves into the shape of human beings at a very young age.” When the boy was caught and sent here, Earth Bear was also shocked. Black Illusory City actually dared to catch even the descendants of the super Mythical Beasts.

“P… Phoenix?” Feng Ling muttered.

“What? Phoenix? Do you know his identity? Could it be that the scent on your body, with which he is familiar, is actually from the super Mythical Beast Phoenix?” The Earth Bear was surprised and his huge body couldn’t help but twitch. They could feel the pressure of super Mythical Beast blood from the boy. But because the boy was still young, they could only feel a little and they couldn’t guess the true identity of the boy. They didn’t expect that the human being would guess it at once.

If that was the case, the boy could probably be saved!

The reason why Feng Ling could guess it was that he had only got in touch with one super Mythical Beast, that is, the man he didn’t want to mention. He knew that the man’s true identity was a Phoenix, and he was also the ancestor of the Phoenix family.

“Yes, I know his men,” Feng Ling nodded.

“That’s great. Young man, can you go and inform his men?” When Earth Bear heard his words, his emotions could not help but fluctuate.

“No,” Feng Ling frowned, “I will personally destroy Black Illusory City or I won’t be here now.”

“Young man, although I don’t know what kind of hatred you have against Black Illusory City, you have to do what your strength allows. You are no match for Black Illusory City right now. You don’t know that Black Illusory City’s strength isn’t like what it looks like on the surface. It’s not unreasonable for it to exist until now,” Earth Bear saw that he was so stubborn and couldn’t help but persuade him.

“No, if I don’t personally do it, then there would be no point in destroying it.”

“Would it be fulfilling after you die?”

“Before I have avenged myself on them, I won’t die.”

“You are really…”

“Who is there?” A voice suddenly interrupted the Earth Bear and then a guard ran in.

The killing intent on Feng Ling’s face suddenly appeared, and he rushed to the guard as fast as lightning. A dagger appeared in his right hand. The guard didn’t have time to shout and his neck had already been cut. But his words just now probably had attracted the attraction of his colleagues outside.

“Buddy, you can leave first. You don’t need to care about us, but remember that if you can leave here safely, please find the family of the boy and let them save him,” Earth Bear knew that the situation was urgent and quickly told him.

When he heard this, Feng Ling suddenly stopped.

For some reason, he originally wanted to use the Demon Beasts here to create chaos for Black Illusory City. In this way, they would definitely attract the attention of some powerhouses in Black Illusory City. Then most of the Demon Beasts would definitely be hurt and killed, but he found that these Demon Beasts had more humanity and were more faithful than human beings, which made him want to give up his plan…
