Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Why is it red?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but ask.

The Soul Gate in front of them was bright red and gave a very ominous vibe. There couldn't be a bigger warning that something very dangerous beyond that gate.

"It's a Red Soul Gate." Gao Suyin spoke in a low voice; her eyes were still fixated on the soul gate."

"I know it's Red…." Ye Tian Yun asked, "Why is it red, but not white?"

"It signifies the rank of the dungeon." Gao Suyin spoke, "There are nine dungeon ranks, and red signifies the second more dangerous rank - Calamity Rank dungeon."

Ye Tian Yun nodded in understanding and asked, "Why are we going in?"

Gao Suyin shrugged. She herself was unaware of the reason and was only going because she had no other choice.

Ye Tian Yun frowned at the whale staring at the back of the Third Prince Ye, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Can you tell us why we're heading there?"

Third Prince Ye replied, "I am going there to clear your mess."

"Hm? What mess did we create?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Killing the Burning Wolf King."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "We had no choice in that. There was a quest, and to escape from this place, we had no other choice but to kill the  Burning Wolf King."

Third Prince Ye nodded, "That is true. But you should have killed it."

"Are you saying both of us should have accepted our deaths?" Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes on the Prince.

"There was no other option." Third Prince Ye replied, "All these soul beasts, including the Scorching wolves on the First Floor, are like a lock on this place. And by killing them, you were weakening the lock. Don't you hear the explosions?"

"Yes," Both Ye Tian Yun and Gao Suyin nodded their heads.

"It's coming because the Soul Beast beyond the Red Soul Gate is trying to escape. It started when one of you killed the first Scorching Wolf."

Gao Suyin rubbed her nose and looked the other way.

Third Prince Ye continued to speak, "And then you people killed the Burning Wolf King, which had broken off one of the chains which are holding down the Soul Beast."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "How is killing other beasts related to the poisoning of a powerful Soul Beast?"

"These Soul Beasts are not regular types. In fact, this whole dungeon is special. I won't be able to explain everything to you right now."

He had already reached the Red Soul Gate when he finished his words.

"Follow me." He said and stepped through the red screen.

Ye Tian Yun and Gao Suyin looked at each other for a moment and subconsciously nodded.

They stepped forward and passed through the screen, with Ye Tian Yun taking the lead and Gao Suyin following him shortly afterward.

As soon as they stepped, the first thing that appeared in sight was endless red magma.

Ye Tian Yun instantly used even more qi to cover himself because the temperature and heatwave in this place were much more powerful than it was on the previous two floors.

-snap!

Third Prince Ye snapped his fingers just then, and the atmosphere began to cool down.

To be more specific, it was not cooling down. They were not feeling the heat anymore.

Ye Tian Yun removed the qi layer from himself because now there was no need to waste his qi reserve with the protection given to them by the Third Prince Ye.

"Thank you." Gao Suyin said from behind.

Third Prince Ye shook his head, "It's nothing. I have called you kids here, so I should at least do this much here."

Ye Tian Yun put on a thoughtful expression while asked, "Why have you brought us here, tho? I mean, do you need us to control the powerful Soul Beast?"

"No," Third Prince Ye shook his head, "This Soul Beast is already restrained and powerless. I have brought you here to give you kids something."

"Give something?" Ye Tian Yun was puzzled, "Why? We haven't done anything for you, in fact, we have even caused trouble."

Third Prince Ye jumped on a black rock in the lava, and gesturing to the other two to follow him, he spoke, "While you have weakened the chain by clearing the quest, you have also helped me with something."

"And that is…?"

"I will be able to leave the Lower Heavens soon." Third Prince Ye spoke, "I have a lot of things to look after, but because of this dungeon, I have been stuck in the Lower Heavens."

"Really?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised. Considering Third Prince Ye's identity, what was there in the Lower Heavens to restrain him? He was sure that even a Calamity rank dungeon's Soul Beast wouldn't be able to hold back Third Prince Ye.

"The matters are quite complicated," The Prince said, "Let's just say that I have to be here and help my Clan."

"Oh…" Ye Tian Yun slowly nodded.

There were a lot of questions in his mind right now, but he chose not to ask them because he was in Fang Chen's disguise.

'Wait…'

Suddenly, something dawned upon him.

'I am in Fang Chen's disguise!'

This was impossible!

Didn't his disguise change upon entering the dungeon earlier!?

He was confused, and instantly taking out a sword, he glanced at his reflection in it.

Sure enough, he was disguised as Fang Chen!

'What is going on?'

This was truly a surprise for him.

He then subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Gao Suyin.

If his disguise was still there… and he was in Fang Chen's disguise…

Then how was it possible that this young woman beside him didn't react at all to that!

'I even introduced myself as Fang Chen….'

She knew that his name was Ye Tian Yun…

But she didn't react at all!

He stared at the young woman as a very interesting suspicion formed in his mind.
