"Everyone, I just received news that today, a Demon Spawn descended upon a desert in our Sacred Gold Dynasty. A group under my command happened to encounter it. They fought fiercely but were tragically killed. This news was brought back by a surviving warrior."
"Seventh Brother, you brought the Demon Spawn to the Imperial City, what are your intentions?" The Crown Prince was already frantically throwing accusations, "Even if Father exiled you, he left you with plenty of wealth, enough for a lifeti of luxury. Why would you want to harm Father?"
"Truly, one can know a person's face but not their heart. Seventh Brother, Father cared for you so much, yet you disappoint us so greatly."
"Seventh Brother, what exactly is your relationship with this Demon Spawn? Are you planning to use its power to fight for the throne? You are truly vicious!"
Because of his association with Zhang nglong, Qi Xiu was thrust into a precarious situation. Now, he had been transford into what others called a "devoted filial son."
Although Qi Xiu felt aggrieved, he knew it was clearly his elder brother who sent assassins after him, and Zhang nglong had saved him.
However, according to Master Bai's prophecy, Zhang nglong could very likely be the Demon Spawn. Even if he was willing to believe Zhang nglong was a good person, and even if Ruoruo was willing to believe, others, out of fear, definitely would not.
"Do you have anything to say?" The Crown Prince looked at Zhang nglong with a smug expression.
He had painstakingly climbed to this point, and was on the verge of success. There was no way he would let it fall apart at the final step.
Although he didn't believe Zhang nglong could heal his father, he didn't want a glimr of hope to appear for even a mont, as a self-respecting villain should.
"I have nothing to say," Zhang nglong stated, "If you are convinced that the person who appeared in that desert today is the Demon Spawn, then I am sorry to say that this person is none other than . However, I must correct you—I am not a Demon Spawn. Please show a bit of respect; I do prefer the title Demon Lord!"
"He admitted it! He truly is the Demon Spawn!"
"Demon Spawn! Demon Spawn! Co, soone!"
With Zhang nglong admitting his identity, fear rapidly spread. This was the Demon Spawn, according to prophecy, who would upend the entire Sacred Gold Dynasty and even the whole Haotian Continent. Such a person must be exceedingly dangerous!
"It's good you admitted it!" The Crown Prince chuckled, "In that case, I must eliminate you to prevent any harm to our Sacred Gold Dynasty."
"What? You want my life based solely on a prophecy?" Zhang nglong mocked, "Your Sacred Gold Dynasty is utterly irrational! What grudge do I have against you? You won't even give
a single coin and still want to hit . You're so wicked!"
"Hmph, you haven't done anything yet, but that doesn't an you won't in the future. It's better to deal with you now to prevent any problems later."
"Makes perfect sense," Zhang nglong comnted, "Brothers and sisters present, I just calculated with my fingers that the Crown Prince has a rebellious streak. If he inherits the throne, the first thing he'll do is molest the royal pig farm's old sow!"
Qi Xiu imdiately burst into laughter behind him. Goodness, people predict the Demon Spawn as the world's end, and you predict the Crown Prince as one who molests pigs. Could you predict sothing a bit more credible?
"Ask if anyone believes it?" The Crown Prince dismissed Zhang nglong's nonsense.
Zhang nglong's words sounded like complete fabrications, of course, no one believed him.
"Ah, no way around it. I wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems it's no longer possible," Zhang nglong sighed, "Have you heard of Managent Studies?"
"Managent Studies? What's that?"
"Is that the Demon Spawn's cultivation technique?"
"It sounds quite formidable."
"Do you know why Guan Zeyuan is a god?" Zhang nglong asked, "Because he claims he's not a god!"
Everyone was bewildered. Who was Guan Zeyuan, that he could bear the title of a god?
"I dare say, today it will definitely not rain!" Zhang nglong suddenly exclaid without any context.
"Nonsense, how could it possibly rain today?"
"Exactly, our Diviners have never erred in weather predictions; it will be very sunny for the foreseeable future, there's no way it will rain."
"Is this his prophecy? Hahaha, it sounds like utter drivel!"
"Rumble!"
Say and It Will Be Done; suddenly the sky was filled with lightning and thunder. This originally clear sky unexpectedly gathered with black clouds, and after a flash of lightning, a torrential rain started pouring down.
"Hahaha, look, even the heavens couldn't take his words," they laughed.
"He said it definitely wouldn't rain today, and now it's raining imdiately. He must be the Demon Spawn."
Zhang nglong smiled slightly; these people were really too young.
"Now I say, this rain will last the entire night!"
As if responding to Zhang nglong's words, this stormy sky suddenly cleared within seconds.
Suddenly, soone began to realize sothing was amiss. Zhang nglong had just said two things, and both had played out in exact contrast to his predictions.
"Crown Prince, I wish you a peaceful evening," Zhang nglong remarked.
"Did you hear that? This Demon Spawn just wished the Crown Prince peace," soone muttered.
"If everything develops opposite to his prophecy, then tonight the Crown Prince..."
"Swish!"
Before the words could finish, a glaring light streaked across the sky, and a teor was heading straight toward them, seemingly precisely in the direction of the Crown Prince!
"How could this be?" The Crown Prince was shocked. This world's teorites were not like those in Zhang nglong's world; this one had a diater exceeding a ter and was composed of an exceedingly sturdy tal. Even if the Crown Prince was at the Half-Step Sky-Breaking Realm, blocking it would be daunting.
But it was already too late to react differently.
In a critical mont, he gathered all his Mystic Qi to shield himself while unleashing his strongest martial arts technique.
"Boom!"
With an explosion, the teor was shattered by the powerful Mystic Qi into countless fragnts.
The Crown Prince was also flung away violently by the impact of the teorite.
"Crown Prince!" The General who had co to encircle Zhang nglong hurriedly supported him.
The Crown Prince stood upright, a dribble of blood at the corner of his mouth indicating he was indeed injured.
Everything unfolded in the opposite direction of his words!
Soone had finally summarized the recent pattern.
He said it would be clear, and the sky poured rain.
He said the rain would last all night, and it stopped imdiately.
He wished the Crown Prince peace tonight, and the next second, the Crown Prince was hit by a teorite.
If he were to bless the whole nation's people with health...
And further, if he were to wish for world peace...
Once they believed in science, now they believed in Managent Studies.
At this mont, the Crown Prince looked at Zhang nglong with fear, fearing Zhang nglong might suddenly wish him perpetual health and a long life filled with descendants.
A master of Managent Studies, truly terrifying!
