62 Chapter 60: 2 promise (1/2)

War God Zhen looked at the ring in his hand. It was the same ring that Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu had given him to pass onto Xu Liang before he died. He hadn't passed the ring onto Xu Liang.

”Too bad I can't open the ring yet. I tried every possible way I could think of, but it's impossible. Only someone from his bloodline can open it. Xu Ming or Yue are the only ones. Too bad that Xu Ming escaped with Yue.”

He said as he looked at the ring.

” This ring could have come in so handy to strengthen the realm. ” He sighed in disappointment.

” Don't you mean to strengthen you? ” Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin said in a sarcastic tone.

”Aren't they both the same thing? Don't you know Wen Yin? I am the ruler of the Heavenly Realm from now on. My strength is my kingdom's strength.” He said as a smile formed on his face.

” You might call yourself the ruler, but you aren't one yet. The heir to the throne is still out there. The last survivor of the Royal Bloodline. ”

” What royal bloodline? His bloodline has been contaminated by that demon. Xu Ming is now a demon spawn, not a member of the Royal Bloodline. He is a demon and he shall be treated as a demon. ”

” Why didn't you tell everyone that he was a demon then? Why did you lie that they were all dead? ”

” Lying was much simpler and this lie helped in maintaining the royal dignity. Even if His Majesty adopted a demon, I can't let his legacy be destroyed. ”

” Are you sure that it's the only thing you were worried about?” Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin said with a smirk.

War God Zhen didn't reply and simply left.

He walked through the long corridors of the Royal palace and stopped in front of a heavily guarded room. A barrier was clearly visible in front of the door that was closed.

There were more than 20 guards standing there guarding the room.

”Your Majesty!” The guards bowed down in respect as soon as they saw War God Zhen.

War God Zhen simply nodded his head in affirmation. He passed the barrier without any trouble and entered the room.

He closed the door behind him.

”How are you feeling?” He said in a casual tone.

There was a person sitting in front of him. It was a man who looked like he was in his 40s. He looked quite haggard at the moment, but the glimpse of his previous glory was still visible in his worn-out face.

His hands were tied in magical chains that prevented him from being able to use his cultivation. Although he was known as one of the strongest warriors, he was not much stronger than an ordinary mortal at the moment.
