Rise of the Demon God

Zhu Chang squirted his eyes. "I wonder if you'll be able to make it to our destination without being transformed into a crushed Monarch and Emperor."

Zhu Chang was the first one to finish eating. "Finish fast and come out. I'll be waiting."

He stood up, leaving the Snake Monarch and Blood Dragon Emperor inside. He was getting tired of their constant blabbering. This entire time, they hadn't stopped talking. 

In fact, they only talked more when they were eating. At one point, the Snake Monarch and Blood Dragon Emperor started arguing as to who had more achievements. 

Even after Zhu Chang left, the Snake Monarch and Blood Dragon Emperor kept talking while eating.  

"The Heavenly Emperor came begging me to help him. I took pity on him," Snake Monarch declared. 'And then I..."

...

Zhu Chang left the room. Ji Miali didn't even dare to ask him to pay the bill. She was just glad that he was leaving. Now she was waiting for the Snake Monarch and Blood Dragon Emperor to leave. 

Instead of leaving the restaurant, Zhu Chang walked towards Ji Miali. 

'Is he coming to pay the bill? That's right. He's from the city. He won't be lacking money,' Ji Miali thought, watching Zhu Chang coming close to him. 

"I want to ask you something," Zhu Chang told the lady. "Do you know the direction to the Heavenly Prison?"

He directly asked the question without any hesitation. 

"The Heavenly Prison?" Ji Miali asked. 

"I heard about that place. But I don't know where it is exactly. All I know is that one is in the south, and the other is in the east," she added. 

She was surprised as to why Zhu Chang was asking the question, but she didn't lie to him.

She wondered why a person would go to Heavenly Prison? Only two types of people were in the Heavenly Prison. The fierce criminals and the Heavenly Warriors.

Criminals wanted to stay away from the Heavenly Prison. So for a person to be willingly looking for the Heavenly Prison, he could be the Heavenly Warrior. 

But then again, this man wasn't wearing a Golden Armor! Moreover, a Heavenly Warrior should already know where the Heavenly Prison was. He wouldn't be asking someone from an ordinary town for directions.

Also, why did he ask exactly? Didn't he claim that he was from the Heavenly City? He should know already, then? Let alone Heavenly City; even if he was from any ordinary city, he should still know. Cities had more knowledge than towns!

'Is he not from a city at all? But where is he from in that case? If he's from another town, that would explain his lack of knowledge, but that won't explain his strength?'

'Is he from outside the Heavenly Realm? That would also explain why he would be asking for directions? But in this case, it is also unlikely. He doesn't look like a person from the Demonic Realm! Disguise?'

She understood that Demons from the Demonic Realm often tried to infiltrate the Heavenly Realm! So it was possible that he was from there! That would explain why he didn't know about basic directions!

All her assumptions brought her to one simple theory! This man was from the Demonic Realm! 

She also had a theory as to why he was searching for the Heavenly Prison! No ordinary citizens of the Heavenly Emperor would try searching for the Heavenly Prison! As for why a Demon would search for it, that was easy to guess.

The Demonic Realm didn't like the Heavenly Realm! The two sides were enemies. Moreover, the people trapped in the prison were also the enemies of the Heavenly Empire! They were criminals that hated them for being trapped!

If a Demon wanted to weaken the Heavenly Realm, the best option was to free the prisoners and let them wreak havoc! No wonder he was looking for the Heavenly Prison. 

Her eyes opened wide in shock as she put the pieces together. 

By now, Zhu Chang had already stepped outside the restaurant. He got his answers from the lady, and it was also clear that she didn't know much. Still, she managed to give two directions! 

All he needed to do was fly in those directions and land in a city to ask for further directions. 

"So he's the guy?" In the distance, the Heavenly Warrior asked Ji Lin, standing in the distance. 

"That's right." Ji Lin nodded. 

"It looks like he was trying to escape," Patriarch Ming said. "We were right on time."

The Heavenly Warrior nodded as he started walking towards Zhu Chang while cracking his knuckles.

Zhu Chang also noticed the man, dressed in a golden Armor. 

"A Heavenly Warrior in the town? Just the person I was trying to avoid," Zhu Chang muttered, sighing. "But then again, it's not bad. If someone knows the direction of Heavenly Prison, it must be a Heavenly Warrior. He can lead me directly to that place."

Zhu Chang nodded in satisfaction, smiling. He had thought that he would get information from the citizens, so he didn't need to meet Heavenly Warriors and risk being exposed, but it was clear that this wasn't something citizens would know about.

"Young man, I heard you killed a citizen of this town? And you're not even from here? You know that's a crime?" The Heavenly Warrior asked. 

"Killed someone here? Ah, you mean that weakling? That's right. I crushed him like a fly," Zhu Chang said, smirking. "If I weren't in a hurry, I would've taken my sweet time."

"So you don't regret your actions?" The Heavenly Warrior asked. 

"Regret? Why should I regret?" Zhu Chang asked, amused. 

"Looks like your family didn't teach you anything. Which city are you from? And which family?" The Heavenly Warrior asked. 

"My family did teach me many things," Zhu Chang replied. "And you'll see quite a few things from that. As for my city, I doubt you ever heard about it. It's not something a weakling can know about."

The Heavenly Warrior's face twitched. Was this guy crazy? Could he not see his Armor? Did he not know he was talking to a Heavenly Warrior? Just what was wrong with the kid? 

He thought that the kid would be asking for forgiveness as soon as he saw a Heavenly Warrior, but he wasn't even phased, as if meeting Heavenly Warriors and talking to them like this was common for him?

"Answer me now! Which city are you from? And how dare you talk to a Heavenly Warrior like this?" the Heavenly Warrior asked. 

"Is there anything special about being guards?" Zhu Chang asked, rolling his eyes.
