"Wait!" the sound ca, it was heavy full of anger, but at the sa ti, careful, "If you snuff that candle, I’ll reward you handsoly," he said.
"What can guarantee that?" I replied, not even trying to communicate with divine sense but just simply talking to empty air.
"I’m Zhang Tian, son of Tu Tian, Celestial King of the Wind Realm. One of the five Celestial Realms of the Heavenly World. My words are not spoken lightly, and once I make a promise, a promise shall be kept!" the man said with all confidence, though I felt arrogance beyond arrogance in his words, and contempt to all the living in them, I had a feeling that he wasn’t just boasting.
"I still can’t trust you, after all, if you truly were a Prince, why are you imprisoned here?" I asked.
"How... did you know I was imprisoned?" the prince asked.
"Simple, your power is too great to be soone stuck in such a small place, also you’re using Saint Qi in your Divine Sense, which makes it rather uncomfortable. Not to ntion you easily fended off my hallucinations, and also the fact that your words were forcefully cut the last ti you spoke to , it felt like you were forced and suppressed, but all of that wasn’t enough to conclude that you’re actually imprisoned."
"Then how did you figure out I was imprisoned?" the prince asked.
"You just told yourself," I grinned at the man.
’...’
I didn’t receive a reply, I could even guess that the prince was actually facepalming himself right now.

"I suppose this fla, no, this lamp is actually a part of a formation that’s keeping you imprisoned," I said.
"You’re both right and wrong, it’s keeping stuck, but it’s only a part of many other restrictions upon . But, if you rid of the Purple Fla Sealing Formation, I can reward you handsoly, I’ll be able to use a one-hundredth of a percent of my power, enough to send a ssage to my father, once he received my whereabouts, he will co and rid of my shackles, and once I’m free, I’ll make you one of my servants, and bless you with an endless life of happiness." The man said all confidently.
My expressions turned ugly and sour.
"You don’t seem pleased! Many would beg to be my servants. Why not rejoice?"
"Your words are making even more uninterested in helping you, a servant, to you? You’re mad. Why would I give up my freedom, why should I help you? Because you’re a prince? Sorry, but just because you were born with a golden spoon in your gullet doesn’t an that I’ll do you bidding, I’m no slave of yours, nor will I ever be, rot in here, like the personality you have." I said and turned.
"Wait!" the man’s voice sounded through my head, this ti it was slightly painful, but the owner of the voice grunted, he seed to have suffered so backlash.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Just wait," the man huffed, "It seems that there is a misunderstanding, I told you I’m a prince of a celestial king, but your origin doesn’t seem to have proper knowledge of how high of a statue I am. Still, I would forgive such insolence, I don’t have a choice anyway... Then if you wish, I won’t have any interference with you once you free from this formation, but I’ll still be obliged to reward you for saving ."
"What can a naked man offer, say, with all of your power, origin, background, and arrogance, what separates you from a re slave that’s working the fields? Nothing. All of your words are aningless to , your words have no value, as I don’t trust you, nor would I trust you rewarding with anything."
"What is your na?" the prince asked.
"Why do you need my na for?" I asked.
"To prove my sincerity," he said.
I thought for a mont and said, "You’re too strange, I think giving you my na will be dangerous."
"Indeed, it would be, if I were to really an you harm, I could use curses and plague you with death just by using your na, but I won’t, hang on, I don’t even need to have your na co directly from your mouth."
Imdiately, a wave of divine sense spread along with the whole city and continued spreading, and in that divine sense, there was a picture, a picture of .
Just as the wave ended, "Shen Bao!" said the man.
"What did you do?" I asked, how the hell did he know my na... that was scary.
"Simply, I made a picture of you in my divine sense, and spread it all over this lower celestial realm, once a few cultivators are hit with this image, if one of them know you, they will speak or think of your na, and all those who spoke had spoken the sa na, Shen Bao...the Dragon Spirit, could it really be a coincidence? Could the Man in Black Robes be speaking of you? Interesting."
I didn’t reply as I was still reeling from the repercussions of the dangers this person represents, such a simple yet ingenious way to figure out my na... now if he said he can get cursed using my own na I’m screwed.
"Don’t worry, if I wanted you dead, there are many other ways than vile curse magic. And unless you speak your own na, thrice to a person, they cannot use the Origin Na’s Curse. So worry not, I only needed to know your na to make a heavenly vow."
"A what?"
"Heed my words, and let heavens be witness, I Zhang Tian pledge that I shall cause him no harm and promise the safety of mind and body to Shen Bao If he were to help remove the Purple Fla Sealing Formation. This I vow as Heavens witness and let my soul be shattered if I were to renege on my words or act against my vow!"
Almost imdiately, I could feel the atmosphere change, it was as if sothing grave had happened and the consequences of defying it wouldn’t just end with a light heavenly punishnt.
"In all my life, I had only used a heavenly vow once, and it is to never betray the Celestial Wind Kingdom. And this is my second vow. Once you help I’ll promise great benefits."
s
"I’m still tempted to just go and leave you here," I said.
"I knew you’d probably say sothing like that, then how about I tell you of a little secret," the prince said.
"What is?" I asked.
"I have personally t the Poison God, and I know the whereabouts of one of the caves he used to reside in..."
’Oh, now that’s so interesting stuff...’
