The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 762 Apology

?

Cain's words were blunt, and his tone was without respect. 

But not a single person there dare to find any fault. In fact, his questions and intent gazes caused cold chills to crawl down their spines. 

Especially Huang Dilong. Face to face with Cain, he honestly couldn't remember that one point, he was a mere crippled brat in his family. A waste that he would rather have killed. 

Now, that cripple grew into a monstrous existence that can crush their entire divine planet with absolute ease! 

Faced with such a monstrous genius, Huang Dilong humbly said with a calm smile, "Ah, throughout the years, the Ancient Phoenix Holy Land had truly come around. Our imperial family growth convinced everyone throughout the entire realm of our king status. And the Phoenixes took the steps in wanting to repair our relationship. Even going so far as to permit inter-relationships and marriages. At this point, they truly deserve to be honored guests of our families." 

Nothing really sounded wrong with this. Many times would Holy Lands come together to create a stronger force than they were before. 

Marriages are the greatest tool for this. These marriage contracts are typically used for Holy Land to equally exchange with each other on an even playing field. 

Even Luo Na didn't think there was anything suspicious going on. 

However, Cain's lips curled into a cold sneer. "Is that right? Honored guests? Or just ways to frantically increase your cultivation? All of you, except a very select few, have a combination of Dragon and Phoenix essence within your bloodlines." 

"Eh?" All in the chamber were genuinely caught off guard.

With a mere glance, Cain was already able to tell their methods of cultivation? 

Before anyone could even properly react or question Cain's words, Cain raised his hand. Staring into the faces of everyone here, distant memories of humiliation and disdain surfaced in his mind. 

Such memories turned Cain's heart even colder. He waved his hand and unleashed a tremendous wave of divine law suppression! 

Worldly laws collapsed, and all divine and holy auras shattered apart into tiny pieces! 

"Ahh?!?" 

Nearly all in the room were forcibly suppressed down to their knees. They struggle to surge their Inner Worlds and soul. But the divine law power from Cain could not be resisted. 

Not a single person there had the ability to even stand if Cain doesn't desire it. 

The only ones not kneeling were Luo Na, Huang Kailong, and Ancestor Maolong. 

Luo Na was a given. Towards Huang Kailong, he held some good feelings for her. And Ancestor Maolong was more complicated. 

To the others, Cain didn't care what cultivation method they use. But the way they were currently fawning over him only served to annoy Cain. 

He coldly spat out to them, "I honestly don't care enough to act like some judge. This is me just venting out my past feelings for all of you. Oh, and by the way, don't claim your achievements were all on your own, given how deep Phoenix essence is in everyone's bloodline. That's a bit shameful, right?" 

Flicking his gaze off from them, Cain stared right into Huang Maolong's face. 

Cain wasn't surprised to see the slightly complex emotions showing on Huang Maolong's face. It aligns with what Shi Wei told him in the past. 

He continued to say, "Kailong, follow me. I will speak with Maolong privately." 

"As you wish, Young God Prince." To his credit, Huang Maolong's voice retained a semblance of calm. 

With this calm, he leads Cain's group toward one of the back chambers.

Their leave finally allowed the law suppression to clear the atmosphere. But not many stood up. Sighs of great relief were heard all around. 

The younger ones collapsed to their asses, legs still shaking from being under Cain's unfathomable might. 

Huang Kielong continually murmured to herself, "So terrifying...so terrifying...was he really that person in the past?" 

The crown prince couldn't speak at all, his eyes completely dazed. 

Both Huang Lin'er and Ling'er were in horrified shock. The cold gaze of their sons struck deep into their souls. 

Huang Ya couldn't stop shivering, and the Phoenixes were also left in a daze. 

Only Huang Dilong slowly stood up, declaring to everyone, "No matter what, not a single one of us can dare to offend the Young God Prince. No matter what, we must answer to any demand he has!" 

Any divine cultivators have some degree of adaptability. With how more monstrous Cain is than he thought, it only made sense to be servile to him. 

It wasn't a shameful thought. But something everyone knew was the better option than having any other useless thoughts. 

...

Huang Maolong had swiftly led Cain's group into a secluded chamber. When faced with the young child he knew more deeply than anyone else, he couldn't hide his complex emotions. 

The Cain before him was completely unrecognizable of the past. He quietly sighed, slowly saying, "Nothing can ever be predicted. You turned out far greater than what any wisdom expert could foresee. Shi Wei was always right." 

Cain was unaffected by his words. His gaze bore into deep Maolong's soul as he said, "So if you were working together with grandmother, why not help in the past? It was only grandmother that ever came to my and Kali's aid. She would've done more if her cultivation wasn't so limited at that time." 

Huang Maolong slightly shook at the mention of Shi Wei's cultivation. His face didn't display any change. 

But Cain could detect some weird fluctuations in his soul. As if he suddenly recalled some worries at this very moment. 

Huang Maolong didn't delay in his response, however. He actually did something next that came as a slight shock to the others. 

Not caring about his age or status, Huang Maolong deeply bowed to Cain and humbly said, "For all matters in the past, I cannot change them and can only feel regret for my past indifference. For what it's worth, I am truly sorry for the actions of myself and the entire Huang Dragons." 

'This...' Huang Kailong and Luo Na blinked in slight surprise. 

Even though he is far weaker, Huang Maolong is still an ancestor who lived for far longer than Cain, at least over thousands of years older than him. 

Furthermore, he's practically the most legendary ancestor of the Huang Dragons. 

Figures like him, especially when they reach the Holy King realm, are not so willing to bow or admit their mistakes to others. 

Unless the opposing party was forced by an absolute suppression of pure power, the pride innately engraved into their prides would make any holy cultivators and above unwilling. 

But Huang Maolong didn't hesitate to admit his faults. This all only made Huang Kailong and Luo Na more curious about Cain's true past. Neither of them knew what he was really like before his immense claim to stardom.

They and many others are completely clueless about Cain's cripple past. 

And Cain had never really cared enough to mention his past. Though, from the nature of this conversation, it only made Cain that more complex in the girl's eyes.

After all, just how can someone with great disadvantages at birth, possibly being a cripple, change their destiny so much to being to contend with Primal Soverigen grandmasters in just a few short years? 

That thought alone greatly stirred Huang Kailong and even Luo Na's souls. 

The only person calm in the chamber was Cain. He still wasn't moved all that much. Only shrugging and saying, "Just remember that I'm only bothering to go out of my way because of grandmother. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have enough care to revisit this place." 

"Mn." Huang Maolong nodded, completely accepting Cain's indifference. He stood up and seriously said, "We have greatly failed you in the past. But now, with a new path in front of us, I will be sure to raise the Huang Dragons to be of use to you, Young God Prince."
