Chapter 17 - -17-

Everyone, there was astonished at what the Crown Prince of the sky kingdom did. How could a future leader of the heavens make such a fatal mistake? Injuring the supreme advisor of heaven, and whether that advisor will be able to return to the way it was, or perish for good.

He fell to the ground, golden blood gushing from his body. The soldiers took the advisor's body to leave immediately to get immediate treatment from the celestial healer.

While now, the King seems angry. His jaw seemed to harden, and his eyes bulged at his son.

Plaque!!!

And the slap felt so real when the Heavenly King slapped the Crown Prince he loved the most. He never thought that his beloved son, whom he always admired and was proud of, could do such a heinous act.

"Xie Liao Xuan, do you know where this is!" snapped the King.

Xie Liao Xuan was still silent, his chest burning hot all over his body. He didn't even seem sorry for committing such a cruel act to his father's advisor.

"All beings in the heavens, have had their anger, their grudges, their hatred uprooted, so that they can live happily ever after. But you… you are the future successor of the heavenly kingdom, why do you go down so low even more than the demons in the mortal world!"

"If Father says so, then look… look, Your Majesty. If His Majesty said that the inhabitants of the heavens do not have hatred, anger, and grudges, then how could Anqier die in such a tragic way?! She couldn't be treated even with a life-gathering lotus. She really was gone for good because of that cursed weapon! What does Your Majesty think, that weapon was accidentally taken away? The weapon was made, and I believe that everything was planned long ago!"

"Stop talking rashly and saying stupid things, Liao Xuan!"

Suddenly, the words of the King took Xie Liao Xuan by surprise. His father now does not give his last name at all.

"You are not my son, believe me you are not my son," whispered the King. Xie Liao Xuan's tears immediately fell, his breath was ragged. What's this? What happened to make things turn out to be terrible like this?!

"I totally agree with His Majesty the King. How could he be part of the Xie family, if even respecting the ancestors could not. Out of all the generations of the heavenly kingdom, he is the only Crown Prince who committed murder in the heavenly palace of a majestic, holy place, where even the slightest dirty speech is strictly forbidden here, let alone the blood of murder," Xie Ming Zhen smirked, Looked at his stepbrother with a feeling of great happiness.

The more his father despised his half-brother, the more he earned the position he deserved in this heavenly palace. Moreover, if he arrived, who kicked his brother out of the kingdom of the sky. Xie Ming Zhen was looking forward to witnessing all that. Witnessing the destruction of Xie Liao Xue was a very pleasant thing for him.

"Husband, please take back what you said. I beg you, my husband! How come, you don't think of our son as part of the royal family. He has bestowed countless honors on the royal family. What's more, he was now grieving. His lover had died in such a tragic way, how could he not be devastated, Your Majesty! Servant... servant as Queen of the kingdom of heaven, will swear, that I will kneel on the hill of lamentation until His Majesty the King revokes all the words of His Majesty earlier!"

"Queen, stop saying things!" snapped the King. "Guards! Bring the Queen back to her place!" the order sounded so absolute that it made the cries of the Queen split along with her ladies-in-waiting.

"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince is our son! He was born from the womb of a servant, Your Majesty! Please forgive the Crown Prince!" The scream was heartbreaking and very heart-wrenching. Until finally, the Queen's figure disappeared from behind a circular door.

Again, the Sky Lord looked at Xie Liao Xue with a sinister look. The disappointment was very real.

"Your Majesty the King, please forgive the Crown Prince. I really feel guilty, because I feel, if I was the cause of why His Highness the Crown Prince killed your advisor."

"Stop defending this filthy person, Li Zheng Xi! Because I don't want to hear you keep defending him anymore!"

"Li Zheng Xi, be quiet. This is my business, this is my business. I don't need anyone to defend me," Xie Liao Xuan finally spoke up. Then he looked at his father with that sharp gaze. "Your Majesty the King, I truly accept whatever punishment Your Majesty gives me. For one thing, uphold justice for the death of the servant woman!"

"Laio Xuan, don't exceed your limits!" snapped the King again. He then pointed at his son with a trembling hand.

"Judge of the heavens, proclaim this commandment of mine to all the inhabitants of the heavens! If I, as the XI Xie King, will punish Liao Xuan to the fullest! He was stripped of his position as Crown Prince, and he was removed from the royal family tree, and... and..." The King paused. Then his hands clenched into fists, then Xie Liao Xuan's bitterest punishment was announced painfully. "Drop him to earth, he will be reincarnated as a descendant of the Demon King who will later become a Demon King! For him to know, what it's like to live on earth! For him to feel what it's like to be burned by the flames of anger and with vengeance! For him to learn, if he is now, he is like a devil! He wasn't the purest and most holy being, but a hateful and filthy being like a demon! Erase all his memories, so that he knows what it's like to live to be the worst creature in the universe!"

Everyone looked very shocked by the punishment from the King. They immediately kneeled as if in unison, begging forgiveness for the Crown Prince.

"Your Majesty the King, please spare the Crown Prince. He is very young, he still does not understand who is good and who is bad, Your Majesty! Please forgive the Crown Prince!"

"The judge carries out the sentence! And as for the Goddess Anqier, bring her down to earth, let her live as an ordinary human!"

"Very well, Your Majesty!"

Until finally, Xie Liao Xuan's hands were smothered by two soldiers of the sky kingdom. While Angier was given power, she floated within the bubble and walked right behind Xie Liao Xuan.

"His Majesty the King," Xie Liao Xuan said then. He did not expect if his father had come this far. What is wrong with it? He only acted according to justice, and he only wanted justice because his lover had died in a very cruel way. "One thing that makes me very sad, because Your Majesty does not consider me as a child anymore. Whereas in my eyes, Your Majesty is the father I most highly idolize, the figure I have been a role model for all this time."

The King didn't seem to care until finally, Anqier's body was blown away in a very thick and terrible hole. Xie Liao Xuan looked at the scene sorely. His hand, the hand that accidentally grabbed Anqier's necklace, clenched tightly. As he was about to be pushed into the pit, Li Zheng immediately knelt to his King.

"Your Majesty, I will not ask the Crown Prince for a reprieve. But, let me always be with the Crown Prince. The servant here is his advisor, a figure who is always by his side. If the Crown Prince is not there, then who should I serve? I beg you, Your Majesty, grant my request!"

"Well, if that's what you want, I'll grant it!"

"Li Zheng Xi what are you doing!" Xie Liao Xuan was angry, but Li Zheng Xi didn't care. He immediately stood beside Xie Laio Xuan with a sad look.

"I am part of you, Crown Prince, and I will always be by your side until whenever and wherever it may be."

After that, the two of them were immediately thrown into the pitch-colored hole. The whole light seemed to fade. Xie Liao Xuan instantly turned into a helpless white dragon figure, while Li Zheng became a phoenix figure. Both of them fell free, then fell into a very dark and scary cave. Lying helplessly, until finally, all the demon spirits gathered together and swarmed over them.

They seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time, and they happily said, "Our Demon Lord has come!"
