750 Cold Heart

The eldest prince was completely calm at this moment. In the past, he might have felt a little resentment towards his father for being so cruel, but now his mind was perfectly clear. Having experienced much, his heart had gained a deeper understanding.

He thought to himself, "But the Heavenly Demons didn't die out, which Father probably didn't expect!"

But only someone with the deepest hatred would dare to utter the name Wang Tiangao so vehemently, and only someone like this demon, hiding in a place unknown to ordinary people, could utter such curses.

Otherwise, anyone who dares to publicly insult the Holy Emperor is probably already buried with weeds!

My father ordered me to shout his name; perhaps he anticipated this, or perhaps it was just in case!

Seeing the Heavenly Demon's state, the eldest prince secretly guessed, 'The Heavenly Demon is probably cursing his father, the Emperor. Having suffered such a great loss and almost perishing, how could he not hate him!'

Although his heart was in turmoil, the eldest prince remained outwardly calm, lowering his head slightly. His unreadable expression seemed to be both in agreement with the demon's angry curses and inwardly mocking the demon's arrogance.

He nodded in agreement, his head bowing so low it seemed to touch his knees—was it submission? Then he slowly raised his head, as if adjusting to the bowing motion, his face slightly flushed, as if in shame!

At first glance, the top of the treasure vault was covered with patterns, just as unchanged as ever!

He whispered, "I, the esteemed eldest prince of this dynasty, do not wish to die, nor do I wish to lose my cultivation. This world belongs to my royal family, and they are all my royal family's servants!"

I want the empire that my father conquered to last for thousands of years.

I want immortality, I want a beautiful woman, I want the world to submit to me, and all the noble families and powerful sects must submit to me!

Ha ha!

Who would have thought that I, a prince, would be so easily swayed by this temptation!

His eyes gleamed like cold stars, his hands were clenched into fists, veins bulging, and his ever-changing expression seemed to be made without any attempt to conceal it!

At this moment, it's hard to tell what's real and what's fake!

The eldest prince's facial expressions were realistic and vivid, sometimes frowning in deep thought, sometimes showing a hint of disdain, sometimes acting crazy, sometimes struggling with regret, sometimes feeling ashamed, and sometimes seeing the beautiful woman he could not have.

It was as if he had made a painful decision!

The eldest prince took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the Heavenly Demon, his eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve. He spoke softly, his voice low yet carrying an undeniable sincerity.

"Yes, but I have one condition," the eldest prince said slowly. "You need to teach me the same cultivation method as my father."

Now, apart from me, all the other princes in the palace have died, and this matter cannot be hidden for long.

His family will probably come to demand an explanation soon.

If they were to learn of the prince's death, they would probably go mad!

Only by restoring my powers can I deal with this matter and better fulfill my promise to you.

"You, Heavenly Demon, are aware of our predicament; you shouldn't refuse!"

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's request, a flicker of surprise crossed the Heavenly Demon's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by admiration. He nodded, his voice deep and powerful, "Alright, I almost agreed."

He's just as cunning as Wang Tiangao, just like Wang Tiangao back then, and he convinced me in the same way.

But today, such reasons are not enough to convince me!

The Heavenly Demon laughed heartily, his mocking gaze conveying an expression that suggested he could not accept being deceived a second time!

The eldest prince was just about to say something more!

The Heavenly Demon interrupted, "The contract has been changed. Before the Martial Emperor, we will each occupy half of each other!"

hey-hey!

After Empress Wu, the ratio is 30/70, and I get 70%!

After Emperor Wu, I account for 90%!

The Heavenly Demon looked on with a mocking expression, his eyes gleaming with cunning, as if he had already spotted his prey and was now waiting in the shadows to reap the rewards.

The Seventh Prince's lips curled slightly, revealing a strange and smug smile, a smile full of cunning and confidence.

There seemed to be no attempt to conceal it, as if they had seen through the cunning of both the eldest prince and his son!

"Hmph, Crown Prince, do you think I'll fall for your tricks as easily as last time?" The Heavenly Demon's voice was low and full of sarcasm. "I, the Heavenly Demon, have roamed the world for many years. If it weren't for Wang Tiangao, that…"

I will never make the same mistake again!

Scholars cannot be trusted!

The flowery words of you scholars are nothing but fleeting smoke to me.

It seemed that he had seen through the trick of the First Prince's words, and Tianmo couldn't help but feel a little smug at this moment!

The eldest prince's face instantly turned ugly, as if his deepest secret had been exposed. A hint of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure, glaring at the Heavenly Demon, and urgently tried to explain.

'How could I have lied to you! I, the Crown Prince, would never break my word! Don't you dare slander me with baseless accusations!'

The voice seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction and anger, as if it had truly been provoked by the accusations of the Heavenly Demon.

Tianmo chuckled, as if he had learned it from Wang Tiangao and was now turning the tables!

Looking at the eldest prince, who was trying so hard to remain calm in front of her, it seemed that his pretense was so pale and powerless!

The Heavenly Demon sneered, "You scholars love to nitpick over words and find all sorts of excuses to absolve yourselves."

That's the most unbelievable thing!

How utterly hypocritical!

The Heavenly Demon's eyes gleamed with cunning and confidence, as if he had seen through the Crown Prince's thoughts and exposed all his pretenses.

At this moment, he seemed no longer in a hurry and chuckled, "If you want revenge, if you want to live forever and break through to the Martial Emperor level, do you, a cripple, have any other choice?"

Why should I compromise with you!

Even so, the ratio before the Martial Emperor was changed to 3:7 or even 9:1!

The eldest prince's expression shifted rapidly, his eyes flashing with complex light, as if he were weighing the pros and cons, sometimes gloomy, sometimes angry, sometimes helpless, as if he were struggling between making a choice and a decision.

After a long silence, as if making a painful decision, he said in a firm and resolute voice, "Okay, I promise you!"

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's agreement, the Heavenly Demon's lips curled into a slight smile, as if he had anticipated this outcome. A smug glint flashed in his eyes, as if to say, 'I knew you would choose this path.'

Like Wang Tiangao, like those ordinary people whose selfishness is too great!

"Heh heh!" The Heavenly Demon's laughter echoed in the empty space, filled with confidence and satisfaction.

He nodded in satisfaction, as if he was very pleased with the Crown Prince's decision.

'Alright, relax and don't resist. I'm just staying here temporarily. I won't harm your soul. In fact, I can expand and strengthen your soul, and help you feel the power of heaven and earth sooner.'

Break through to the Martial Emperor realm as soon as possible!

If you have the will, and even more ruthlessness than Wang Tiangao, you can quickly achieve the Martial Saint realm, surpassing even the Martial Emperor realm.
