"Therefore, from now on, Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao will be the most honored guest of our Four Seas Treasure Pavilion and Four Seas Dragon Palace. Whenever and wherever he needs help, we will do our best to provide assistance."

"And if any of you dare to utter even the slightest disrespectful word to Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao, you will be openly challenging the dignity of our Four Seas Treasure Pavilion and the Four Seas Dragon Palace! Do you all understand?"

As soon as Ao Bing finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar.

No one expected that Ao Bing would so firmly defend Shen Gongbao at this moment.

Not only did they not expel Shen Gongbao from the caravan, they also treated him as a distinguished guest of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, and forbade them from saying a single bad word about him.

This is really...

"But Your Highness, how are we going to explain things to Chongcheng? The Iron-Beaked Divine Eagle and so many soldiers have been killed; this is no small matter!"

The monk who spoke had a look of fear on his face, and even a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, Ao Bing seemed unconcerned by his concerns. His cold gaze swept over the cultivator in front of him, and a slight, disdainful smile appeared on his lips.

"Explanation? What do we need to explain?"

Ao Bing's voice wasn't loud, but the authority it contained inspired awe in everyone.

He looked at the terrified cultivators before him and sighed inwardly.

These people are not actually one of their own from the Four Seas Dragon Palace, and they cannot be of one mind and one heart when it matters most.

"Chong Heihu first colluded with the Snow Wolf Clan to attack our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion, which led to the current situation. If anyone should be explaining, it should be Chong Heihu explaining to our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion. What reason do we have to explain to him?"

Ao Bing's words were resounding, revealing an unshakable determination.

At that very moment, Ao Bing's domineering aura as the third prince of the Dragon Palace of Longhai was fully revealed. Every word he uttered was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears, leaving no room for rebuttal:

"Given that Chongcheng launched a sneak attack on our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion caravan first, until Chongcheng explains the situation clearly to our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion, our Sihai Tongbao Pavilion will automatically regard Chongcheng as a hostile force and will no longer conduct any transactions with Chongcheng."

"Furthermore, regarding this attack, I will immediately send a message to the Four Seas Dragon Palace. From this moment on, all members of the Four Seas Treasure Pavilion are to enter a state of first-level combat readiness. No one is allowed to slacken their vigilance in the slightest!"
