The atmosphere in the tent immediately froze. No one dared to speak out and discuss the relationship between the masters in the Sea King's Palace, let alone comment on the Sea King who held the power of life and death over them.

Seeing that the aura on Hai Chenxi was becoming more and more gloomy and bloodthirsty, everyone lowered their heads and kept silent, so as to avoid being scolded by the fickle Prince Hai.

Hai Chenxi sneered for a moment, then gradually withdrew as he saw the atmosphere in the tent grow increasingly gloomy. However, his deep eyes still lingered with lingering sarcasm. His gaze directed at the herald kneeling before him, and Hai Chenxi sneered, "Then this prince is grateful for father's concern. However, father was able to instruct the Sea King's Army to protect this prince and Hai Yue from a thousand miles away. Why couldn't he manage a small Sea King's Palace back then? Father could command a million soldiers and horses, so why didn't he manage the thousands of servants within the Sea King's Palace? He's so concerned about his son. Doesn't he know that without those concubines willing to bear him children, there wouldn't be us? Tell me, what's the logic behind this? As the saying goes, if you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world? Father can't even settle the affairs in his own backyard, how can he rule the people of the world, how can he rule this vast country?"

The series of questions made everyone in the tent turn pale. They all lowered their heads and no one dared to answer at this time.

Moreover, Hai Chenxi's accusations just now not only involved the dispute in the Sea King's backyard, but also blatantly questioned the Sea King's ability and means by using the incident of Concubine Qin. They did not have the courage to respond at this time.

Seeing that everyone in the tent lowered their heads and stared at their toes in unison, not daring to make a sound, Hai Chenxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly in a sneer, but did not discuss what happened that year anymore.

With a casual wave of his hand, everyone only heard Hai Chenxi say to the messenger in an extremely indifferent voice: "Go back and tell my father that I will obey his instructions. However, the premise is that Hai Yue will not be too clever."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Chenxi's guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the sweat-soaked messenger out...

"Report! Prince, the guards from the Sea Palace are here to report an urgent matter." The guards came back and stood in the tent to report the situation outside.

"Let him in." Hai Chenxi put away the indifferent expression on his face and spoke in a low voice.

"Yes." After receiving Hai Chenxi's order, the guard quickly turned sideways, reached out to lift the curtain behind him, and let in the guards of the Sea King's Palace standing outside.

"Your humble servant greets the prince." The guard walked in a hurry, but his expression was extremely serious and solemn.

Everyone looked at it with a sinking heart, as if they had guessed that something important might have happened in the Sea King's Palace.

"What's the matter that makes you come to this prince's camp instead of staying in the palace at this time?" Hai Chenxi's expression was calm and his voice was steady, without any trace of dissatisfaction and madness from before.

"My Lord, someone broke into the Prince of the Sea's mansion last night, found the place where the hostages were being held, and tried to rescue them." The guard knelt on one knee and reported to Hai Chenxi everything that happened last night, and then waited for Hai Chenxi's decision.

When everyone heard this, their faces turned horrified. The Sea King's Palace was located halfway up Yangming Mountain. It was basically impossible to sneak into the heavily guarded Sea King's Palace through the numerous checkpoints at the foot of the mountain, let alone find the place where the hostages were held.

Who on earth has such ability that he can quietly avoid all the checkpoints and reach the depths of the Sea King's Palace? This is really an extremely dangerous existence for the Sea King's army.

"Prince, I'm afraid this matter is closely related to Jiang Muchen and Chu Feiyang! Everyone knows that the relatives of Prince Chen and Prince Chu are in our hands. Now they are competing with the prince to seize territory. No one is more anxious than the two of them to rescue their relatives and get rid of the restraint." A general frowned and began to analyze the matter. Seeing that he pointed out the key point of the problem, the others agreed.

However, after listening to the guards' report and everyone's arguments, Hai Chenxi's expression remained calm. Only the corners of his mouth curled up slightly before he asked, "Oh? You actually have such skills and abilities to find that place. So what's the situation in the palace now? Have the hostages been rescued? Do you know who did this?"

Seeing that Hai Chenxi not only did not listen to their analysis, but also asked other questions, everyone looked at each other in confusion, somewhat puzzled by Hai Chenxi's behavior.

The guard bowed his head and replied, "Several stewards personally led a team to thoroughly search Yangming Mountain and the palace. Unfortunately, the thieves had already left, making it impossible to determine the culprits. However, there is one thing that is puzzling: the group broke into the palace and found the hostages' cells, but didn't rescue anyone. Several stewards felt that something was amiss, and after discussing it, they immediately sent me to the military camp overnight to report the matter to the prince for his decision."

"I understand. You can leave now!" Unexpectedly, Hai Chenxi waved his hand at him calmly and told him to leave.

For a moment, everyone in the tent was stunned, wondering what Hai Chenxi meant by this action.

In the face of such an important matter, the prince showed no sign of anxiety and even drove away the guards who came to seek his advice. Could it be that he still held a grudge against the prince for what happened in the past? But he knew that the prince's mutiny was a fact, and if the Sea Prince's Palace could not win, it would be doomed!

As the residence of the Sea King, the Sea King's Mansion is an extremely important place. Now that it has been invaded by unidentified thieves, it is already a very serious matter. However, the attitude of the Prince is really puzzling!

Thinking of this, everyone was secretly anxious, and they were thinking of words to persuade Hai Chenxi.

Hai Chenxi suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent without looking around...

Winter was approaching, and the cold outside was oppressive, making people shiver. Hai Chenxi glanced coldly at the soldiers on guard. Seeing that they were all in high spirits and dared not relax at all, he turned and walked towards a tent in the distance...

"Prince!" The soldiers outside the tent saw him coming and immediately stepped forward to salute.

Hai Chenxi waved his hand, and without waiting for the soldier to stand up and lift the curtain, he lifted the curtain himself and walked into the tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Hai Chenxi felt several extremely hostile gazes directed at him, but he was not affected at all. He walked straight into the tent which was decently furnished, sat on a clean round stool, and stared with a gloomy face at the three young women sitting not far away with alert expressions.

"Hai Chenxi, what are you doing here?" Qu Feiqing frowned, her eyes brimming with hostility as she looked at Hai Chenxi. She especially remembered that it was Hai Chenxi's sudden appearance that had cost the three of them their chance to escape the Sea King's Palace. The rage she had been suppressing surged in her heart.

Han Yu standing aside also had a serious expression. Although his expression was calm, there was still a hint of anger in his eyes as he looked at Hai Chenxi.

Only Xiahou An'er's beautiful face was mixed with a hint of complex confusion. She was quietly looking at Hai Chenxi who was calm and composed not far away. Although there was no expression on his face, his eyes were fierce and gloomy. Xiahou An'er felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, knowing that Hai Chenxi was definitely not a boring person and would never set foot in the tent where the hostages were held for no reason.

"I really made a wrong decision back then. If I had kept you in the Sea King's Palace, maybe we would have had an unexpected gain today. Escaping with three young ladies is not as easy as leaving alone. How can they come and go from the Sea King's Palace as they please?" Unexpectedly, Hai Chenxi suddenly said these unclear words.

However, when he said this, he was carefully observing the expressions of the three people. A shrewd light flashed in his cold eyes, and it was obvious that he was well prepared.

After hearing what Hai Chenxi said, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other. They saw a hint of confusion in the eyes of the other two. They didn't understand why Hai Chenxi would talk about the plan of the Sea King Army in front of them.

"Prince Hai has a good plan, but unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Even if you propose, God disposes! If you don't have the destiny, don't even dream of dominating the world! How could being the ruler of the world be so easy? And how could Heaven allow someone as ruthless as the Prince of the Sea to rule the world!" Han Yu sneered coldly before uttering these pointed words. Clearly, she understood the meaning of Hai Chenxi's words. Furthermore, she was well aware of her father and Han Che's abilities, and she instantly understood the complexities involved.

Hearing Han Yu's sarcasm, Hai Chenxi's gloomy eyes instantly shot towards the petite woman in front of him, but his heart suddenly sank, and his expression suddenly flashed, as if a light flashed through his mind, making the expression in Hai Chenxi's eyes suddenly turn deep, and he actually stared straight at Han Yu.

"Although the King of the Sea is plotting a rebellion, the Prince of Hai is from a noble family after all. He stares at a woman so openly and is not afraid of being ridiculed by the world!" Han Yu was very annoyed and retorted again.

"You and Han Che are worthy of being siblings. You are so sharp-tongued that it's annoying! In that case, I can't keep you here!" With that, Hai Chenxi stood up, turned around and walked outside.

"Hai Chenxi, what do you mean? Don't think that the world belongs to the Sea King! If you dare to touch Yu'er, the Xiahou clan will never let you go!" Seeing Hai Chenxi's harsh words, Xiahou An'er remembered Han Yu's previous rescue, and immediately stood up, with a frosty face and said coldly to Hai Chenxi's back.

"Oh? The Xiahou clan won't let me go? I want to see what the Xiahou clan will do!" Xiahou An'er felt dizzy, and Hai Chenxi had grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. His eyes were filled with extreme coldness, and Xiahou An'er trembled in her heart as he stared at her.

However, thinking about his experiences as a prisoner over the past few months, Xiahou An'er felt a flicker of self-mockery. Thinking of his cousin's wife's calm smile when facing the enemy, Xiahou An'er suppressed the anger in his eyes, raised his head calmly, and confronted Hai Chenxi...
