1589 The Might of the Devilized Crown Prince! (1)
Black mist tumbled across the sky!
The Crown Princeâs transformation attracted everyoneâs attention. There was a huge uproar.
âIs he⦠tainted?â
âImpossible! How can the Crown Prince be contaminated?â
âCan someone tell me whatâs happening?â
âHeâs tainted. Look, signs are right there!â
âThis is serious. The Crown Prince of the imperial family is contaminated!â
âThere will be mayhem!â
âHow could this happen? The Crown Prince is tainted? Unbelievable!â
â¦
Grand Duke Chongshan, the three generals, and the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies chose a place to gather.
âGrand Duke, what is going on?â asked Gong Han, the First Stellar Academy invigilator.
âWould you believe me if I said I donât know?â replied the grand duke with a bitter smile. He felt helpless.
The others exchanged glances. They knew that the high noble wouldnât hide this if he knew.
Being something related to dark apparitions, the Great Qian Empire would never keep it a secret. After all, it could mean the destruction of the realm.
Dark apparitions had already seeped into the imperial family!
âThe most important thing is to solve this problem first,â General Fu Xinglan said.
Old Weng from the Fifth Stellar Academy glanced at the grand duke and said, âThe Crown Prince of the Great Qian Empire is contaminated. The consequences⦠the empire will be greatly affected if we donât deal with this matter carefully.â
âOld Weng is right. How shall we deal with the matter?â Sikong the Second agreed and turned to look at the noble.
Grand Duke Chongshan sighed. âIâll go and fetch the prince.â
His intention was clear. He would personally restrain the prince to prevent the situation from escalating.
âNo!â Nancy from the Second Stellar Academy shook her head. Once she had everyoneâs attention, she explained, âThis is the League Of Talents. Almost every faction in the universe is watching. They might think that the whole imperial family is implicated if you take action personally.
âThe public opinion is powerful. We canât control how rumors would spread.â
Nancyâs meaning was obvious. The focus was on the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Empire. A clear answer had to be provided to the audience, instead of leaving and keeping everyone in suspense.
The best way was to control the Crown Prince!
The grand duke frowned. He knew it was true, but the matter would ultimately affect the image and reputation of the whole imperial family. He didnât want the Crown Prince to be suppressed in front of that many people.
It would be a great humiliation for the ruling family!
However, he too felt anxious, more than anyone. The prince had devilized; there was no time for hesitation.
Grand Duke Chongshan controlled his emotions and asked. âWhat does everyone think?â
Gong Han pondered for a moment and offered, âWhy donât we let the competition run its course, just like we did with Valmont?â
âValmont is weaker than the Crown Prince. In his current state, Wang Teng might notâ¦.â General Fu Xinglan frowned. He was a little worried.
âWhy donât we ask for Wang Tengâs opinion?â Sikong the Second blinked and smiled.
âRight!â Old Weng agreed right away.
âThatâs good. Let me ask him through voice transmission,â General Fu Xinglan immediately spoke to Wang Teng, asking if he wanted to continue.
He also briefed the hero about the matters at play, so he would treat it carefully.
In the sky above the arenaâWang Teng was observing his opponent when he suddenly received the voice transmission. This stunned him for a moment.
Then, he glanced at the Crown Prince before giving a slight nod towards the sky.
âLooks like he agrees!â Sikong the Second looked at the youth on the screen with interest.
âQuite the confident fellow!â Nancy also smiled.
âAll right, let him try.â General Fu Xinglan shook his head, sighing in his heart.
Actually, he wanted the young hero to disagree. The Crown Prince was at the core of the matter; one wrong move would have serious implications.
He couldnât say so directly, so he gave the hero a word of caution, although ambiguous. He wondered if the lad had caught the underlying message.
However, he wouldnât stop the match since Wang Teng had the confidence.
The grand duke acquiesced in silence. Letting Wang Teng take care of the Crown Prince was the best solution at hand!
The boy was a talent on par with the affected noble. Things wouldnât blow out of proportion if the latter lost to the earthling.
The outcome would be much better than letting the Seven Stellar Academies contain the Crown Prince.
Wang Teng made note of what General Fu Xinglan said and smiled. He was appreciative and grateful for the advice.
However, it looked like the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies were hoping he could deal with the problem, so he agreed.
After all, he had the ability to solve this; he didnât mind getting involved.
The Crown Prince had been completely devilized by then. There were no emotions in his pitch-black eyes; cold and eerie, intently looking at his opponent.
Wang Teng smiled. He raised a hand and hooked his forefinger at the Crown Prince.
The people in the audience were nervous and fearful at first. However, his actions left them speechless.
The Crown Prince has already turned into a devil and he still dares to provoke him. How bold is this guy!
