The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

287. Throwing a Tantrum?

Translator: 独步三月

“Are you a member of the Phoenix Family? Are you here to save them?”

The old man always felt that the man in white was abnormally calm. In the face of so many people, he must get something in his sleeve so that he could retain composure. Yet he did not recollect such a personage in the Phoenix Family.

He had investigated the Phoenix Family before. Except those old guys, the other family members were nothing to be afraid of.

“Heaven World has drifted to such a lowly point where it is necessary to do this kind of crap to survive?” Bai Huang said expressionlessly. Though a question, it was more like he was talking to himself. He looked down at Feng Ling’s injury. The wound on his abdomen had been temporarily treated by him and stopped bleeding.

At his words, the expressions of the people present changed. The Heaven World was the real mastermind behind the Black Illusory City, which was the secret only known to them. Because once it was known by people outside, Heaven World would become the target of everyone. Demon World would add insult to injury and might even join hands with God Demon Tower and Nine Heaven Gods to challenge the Heaven World.

The consequence would be nasty, so it should not be known to anyone other than them.

The Black Guards, the old leader and Huan Cai, they were all from Heaven World. They were citizens of Heaven World, and they had been instilled with the ideology of loyalty to Heaven World since a long time ago. Moreover, they took pride in their identity of citizens of Heaven World and would by no means betray Heaven World, so they would never tell anyone the secret of the Heaven World.

Now that this secret has been known by the people of the Phoenix Family, they must not let him spread it, so it seemed that he must die in any case.

Without the old leader’s orders, everyone knew what to do.

Huan Cai and the rest, who had been afraid of the man in white, stared at Bai Huang, with their eyes filled with killing intent. A group of people splitted with tacit agreement, surrounding Bai Huang and Earth Bear in the middle, cutting off their escape route.

Earth Bear was a little pale. He didn’t expect the Black Illusory City to be related to the Heaven World. Based on their movement, they obviously wanted to silence them. Earth Bear hugged the boy tightly. Now he could only put his hopes on the man in white who suddenly appeared.

Ever since Bai Huang showed up, the boy had been very excited, and his little face was so lit up as if nothing had happened before.

Earth Bear did not notice it, but even if he did, he would only think that the boy was happy to see his relative, and would not think that the boy could sense Bai Huang’s strength through the kinship.

Bai Huang was expressionless as always. His cold gaze flashed across the faces of everyone, “Di Yuntian is only capable of raising trash, but a bunch of trash even dares to hurt my people. It’s best if you are counscious of your doomed fate.”

“How dare you call the name of master of Heaven World? Don’t think that we don’t dare to touch you only because you are a member of the Phoenix Family! Surrender obediently and I might consider letting go…” Before he could finish his words, the old leader was lifted into the air as if his neck had been held by someone.

Huan Cai and the rest watched this scene in horror.

“You are the first person who dared to talk to me in such a tone, but unfortunately, I believe you will be the last one,” Bai Huang said with an evil expression, “After you die, remember to tell the master of Ghost World that the person who killed you is Bai Huang. He will treat you well for me.”

With a “crunch” sound, the old leader’s head drooped unnaturally. Everyone could see that the bones of his neck seemed to have been crushed, becoming feeble.

Bai Huang? Apart from Feng Ling, no one else present had heard of that name.

Even though they had never heard of it, everyone could feel the pressure emitted by the man in white, like an unshakable skyscraping mountain. Others might not know the strength of the old leader, but they knew clearly that he was a Great Heaven God. It must be known that the number of Great Heaven God in the Three Worlds was very rare, otherwise the God Demon Tower could not only have nine Great Heaven Gods.

However, an out and out Great Heaven God’s neck was nipped off crossing the air by the man in white. What did that mean?

Huan Cai took a step back in fear. She already knew that they had provoked an existence that they could not afford to offend. Only till this time did she realize that Bai Huang of the Phoenix tribe was a name never heard of by them. Since he was not from the older or the younger generation, then there was only one possibility, which was that he was the ancestor of the Phoenix Family who had been missing for countless years.

The ancestor of the Phoenix Family, the personage from an ancient time, Bai Huang was someone who was comparable to the master of Heaven World. Now this existence was in front of them.

No wonder he dared to break in alone. No wonder Black Demon God didn’t notice it when the magic circles were broken. It turned out that all of this was not what she guessed. It was because the other party was much more powerful than them, so the ancestor of the Phoenix Family never took them seriously. What a joke that they had tried to kill him! It had gone so wrong!

“Lord Huan Cai, what’s wrong?” Someone beside her noticed her expression.

Huan Cai shook her head mechanically. She knew that everything was too late.

“It seems like you’ve known better,” Bai Huang looked at Huan Cai, who wore a pale face and seemed to have given up on resistance. There was only coldness in his eyes. It was best that she had given in, sparing him the trouble to grab them one by one.

Huan Cai’s eyes suddenly widened. Yes, she had known better. But now someone had to inform the master of Heaven World of everything that happened here. She didn’t know if this man would take revenge on the Heaven World again, but the master of Heaven World must be prepared.

“Everyone, flee immediately. We must inform the master of Heaven World that this man is not something we can deal with. His strength can be compared with the master of Heaven World, so let’s flee as far as possible. Whoever can escape the calamity shall inform the master of Heaven World of the situation here.”

Huan Cai whispered the message to everyone, but how could it be hidden from Bai Huang?

The Phoenix fire flared up on the body of Huan Cai without warning. A piercing shriek came out of Huan Cai’s mouth. The pain torched by the Phoenix fire twisted her face. Her clothes were inflamed, and subsequently was her flesh. Even her bones were burnt to ash by the Phoenix fire and vanished in the air.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, but someone came to his sense very quickly. That person was Black Demon God, who already realized the seriousness of Huan Cai’s words and began to run without thinking. As soon as the Black Demon God fled, the others immediately woke up, but they did not become dizzy with fear and fled in different directions, so that they could buy time for others to escape.

Bai Huang snorted and released more than a dozen phoenix birds, who chased after their targets, and a few of slow ones were burned to death directly, just like Huan Cai.

Seeing that the captains and the rest had fled, the Black Guards dared not continue fighting, and they fled in disorder as the frightened beasts. The Demon Beasts and slaves, who were fighting, were stunned. After watching for a long time, they found out that their enemies had been scared away. So, did it mean that they finally got freedom?

This victory came so suddenly that many people couldn’t react.

The boy wanted to get down from Earth Bear. Earth Bear had to put him down. The little body of the boy immediately crawled towards Bai Huang and Feng Ling happily. Soon, he got to Bai Huang’s feet and directly held his leg, as if wanting to climb up. Bai Huang sensed his movements and his eyes fell on the boy, displeased.

The boy seemed to feel Bai Huang’s displeasure. His excited little face cooled down, his little mouth curled and his two eyes were watery.

“What are you doing?”

Feng Ling’s questioning voice rang up, and he struggled to get off Bai Huang’s body, but as the latter locked him tightly with both hands, he couldn’t break free no matter how hard he tried. Plus the fact that the injuries on his body did not heal completely, and his spiritual and physical strength had been largely consumed previously, his body was still a little weak.

“Come back with me after throwing the tantrum,” Bai Huang did not answer his question.

“Who’s throwing a tantrum with you? Don’t be so self-important,” Feng Ling’s face sank. He remembered that an important matter between them had not been solved.

“Since it’s not a tantrum, then what is your explanation?”

“I’m revenging, not throwing a tantrum.”

“Now that the revenge has been taken, you can come back with me.”

“Who said that it has been avenged? You yourself said that the one behind the Black Illusory City is Heaven World. As long as Heaven World is not eliminated, my hatred will not disappear.”

“Then as soon as the Heaven World is destroyed, you will follow me back?”

“…Exactly!” Feng Ling gritted his teeth. He had to stick to that excuse.

“I will destroy the Heaven World, but you still have to follow me back.”

“…” Feng Ling burnt up with rage. Was he just having a dialogue with the deaf? This damn Phoenix didn’t understand human speech?

In fact, Bai Huang was just pretending to be unable to understand what Feng Ling just said. He could really destroy the Heaven World. However, as the foundation of the Heaven World was solid, it could not be achieved in a short time, but it was impossible for him to let Feng Ling leave alone!

Feng Ling knew that Bai Huang was a tough person. Even if he resisted now, Bai Huang would not compromise. He could only shout at the stunned Earth Bear who was behind him, “Bear, hold the boy up. You…follow me first! Damn!”
