Chapter 56 Wu Huang (2/2)
In a certain inner palace within the royal palace, a youth in yellow robes sat behind a desk. His skin was as fair as jade, while a pair of eyebrows akin to the a sword’s edge decorated his extremely handsome face.
The simple act of sitting there made him exude an aura of nobility, standing high above everyone else like the pride of the heavens.
A faint aura seemed to rise behind him like the roar of a coiling dragon.
A faintly glowing blood red dot seemed to have been embedded between his brows. A sight that was both mysterious and strange.
This youngster was the crown prince of the Great Wu Empire, Wu Huang.
His face was indifferent as he flipped through the scrolls before him. Although he was only a youth, due to his special status in Great Wu, king Wu had allowed him to take part in the national affairs of Great Wu since a young age.
At this moment, someone respectfully walked in, kneeled before the table and respectfully said, “Crown prince, the secretary supervisor has sent some news.”
Wu Huang lifted his eyelids and reached out a hand to receive the bamboo tube. He removed the paper roll inside and slowly opened it as his eyes swept across it.
“Oh?” Wu Huang’s expression suddenly changed. A strange look surfaced on his handsome face as he said in an emotionless voice, “How interesting, it’s about the Zhou clan’s sacred dragon.”
“What a tenacious person. So he managed to survive even after having the Dragon’s Resentment Poison sealed in his body by father?”
The kneeled figure asked in a cold voice, “Your highness, shall we eliminate him?”
Wu Huang let out a soft chuckle. “Our Great Wu Empire is currently busy with the Thousand Beast Empire and the Sword Empire. How can we possibly spare any attention to a practically dead Great Zhou.”
The figure replied in a low voice, “But Zhou Yuan once possess the sacred dragon blessing and was claimed to be the sacred dragon of the Zhou clan.”
The moment these words left his mouth, he saw Wu Huang’s cold eyes sweep over and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
Wu Huang wore an apathetic look as dragon Qi rose behind him, making him appear incomparably noble. His voice was calm as he said, “You are wrong. Zhou Yuan is not a true sacred dragon. If he was, how would our Wu clan have succeeded?”
“The sacred dragon blessing originally belonged to me and he was merely a tiny mistake. This error has already been corrected and brought back to the proper path. Hence…”
“Zhou Yuan is nothing but a fake dragon who once bore a destiny that did not belong to him, resulting in both he and Great Zhou paying a steep price.”
“On the other hand, I am the true dragon. Therefore, the sacred dragon blessing ultimately returned to me.”
He stared at the figure before him as he slowly continued, “So please do not make this blunder again. It was not I who stole his sacred dragon blessing but he who took what was mine. All I did was take it back.”
“This is called returning to its rightful owner.”
“Understand?”
The figure shivered as he gazed at the slightly smiling Wu Huang and hastily acknowledged in a respectful manner.
Wu Huang threw away the bamboo tube and said in an indifferent voice, “Go check on what this fake dragon is doing. Six channels… Do you know? With such pathetic strength, he does not even have the qualifications to stand before me.”
The figure respectfully responded, “Your highness is the true dragon and Zhou Yuan is only an ant in comparison that is not even worth mentioning.”
Wu Huang picked up the rest of the scrolls and said, “During the subsequent period of time, I have to focus on training so as to prepare for Cangmang Continent’s approaching battle of the saints. It is this battle that is truly important. Do not bother me with matters regarding the crippled dragon in future.”
“Understood!” The figure responded.
Wu Huang stared at the scrolls for a while, before he said, “But since this matter has already come to my attention, I cannot take it as if nothing has happened. Tell them to give the Qi clan more support. If they are able to overthrow the Zhou clan, our Great Wu will have saved some effort. Else it will be somewhat troublesome due to the vow father made back then.”
He smiled at his point. “Let this be a lesson for that crippled dragon. Let him know that he should properly behave himself as a cripple in future.”
His words were simple, but they seemed to have decided the fate of Great Zhou.
He then smiled at the figure and said, “Have a good look. What you see is a true dragon”
A single sentence to determine life or death. A single sentence to decide the destruction of a nation.
