Chapter 4296
Xiao Hua was not angry at the hesitation of the Patrolling Yakshas. He had noticed that someone was spying on the Dragon Palace, but when he scanned the place with his divine sense, it was empty, and he did not find anything.
But what Xiao Hua did not know was that at the bottom of the sea under the Dragon Palace, a bloody scene had just unfolded in a huge palace!
This palace was similar to Ao Sheng's palace. There was a high platform at the front, and a huge golden table was placed on top of it. Behind the golden table was a huge mattress. This mattress was transparent, and there were many colorful crystal beads embedded in it. The light of these crystal beads lingered around each other, making it look like a beautiful Mobil.
There were no dragons on the high platform, only two armored dragons standing proudly in front of the golden table.
Below the high platform was the main hall, and on both sides, there were a dozen or so small golden tables. On these golden tables, there were some spirit fruits, wine, and food. In particular, in the corner of the wine and food, there was a special fragrant exotic fruit.
Behind these golden tables were some dragons, but these dragons were all lying on the ground with their eyes closed, and some saliva was flowing out of their mouths and noses.
Close to the Dragon Tribe were armored Dragon Generals. Although these Dragon Generals were holding weapons in their hands, they were also lying weakly on the ground. There was a strange smile on their faces and their eyes were tightly shut.
On the contrary, behind the pillars on both sides of the main hall stood dozens of valiant dragon generals. These dragon generals were either holding long spears or huge sabers, and each of them was exuding a shocking murderous aura.
Under the murderous aura, the main hall seemed very quiet. The seawater was as transparent as crystal, and there was not even a bubble. On the four sides of the main hall, the huge coral trees were emitting colorful light, and some of the water plants around the coral trees were not swaying at all. Everything in the main hall seemed to be confined.
"Fourth Prince …" At this time, a voice broke the silence. It was one of the dragons on the high platform.
This dragon was wearing a bright yellow armor, and the armor covered his face, making it impossible to see his appearance. "Now is the time to make a decision!"
The other dragon, who was originally facing the golden seat, also turned around at this time. It was the Fourth Prince of the South Sea Dragon Palace, Ao Qian, whom Xiao Hua had seen in the Stacked Jade Legacy Realm.
Although Ao Qian's face was filled with arrogance, his eyes flashed with hesitation. His gaze swept across the two sides of the hall as he asked in a low voice, "Senior, do we really have to do this?
Is there no other way? "
The dragon that covered his face sneered. He looked at the golden throne and said, "There is only one person in the entire South Sea Dragon Palace who can sit on this golden throne!
If there were no accidents, do you think it's possible for you to sit in that position? "
Ao Qian smiled bitterly and said, "How is that possible?
This junior is only the Fourth Crown Prince. Above me are the First Crown Prince, Second Crown Prince, and Third Crown Prince. Furthermore, Royal Father favors the Second Crown Prince. Even if the First Crown Prince cannot sit on this golden throne, this position is not something this junior can sit on! "
"If that's the case, why can't there be an accident?"
Even though what was done was done, the Dragon race being continued to speak to Ao Qian patiently. He was in no hurry at all. "We've already done so much. Do you think that there's still a way out for you?"
Ao Qian still smiled bitterly. "Actually, this junior really didn't think that much. If not for Senior …"
At this point, a trace of regret flashed across Ao Qian's eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the dragons lying on the ground. He didn't say anything else.
The Dragon race being was quick to act. He didn't hesitate at all. He smiled and said, "Hehe, so the Fourth Crown Prince only has love in his heart and doesn't have any ambitions. Then this old man has misjudged you!
No matter, my sons, wake the princes up!
This old man will apologize to them … "
"Yes …" The dozens of dragon generals behind the pillar all agreed. They raised their hands and were about to take out the Dragon Shell.
"Aiyo, wait …" Seeing that the Dragon race was about to do it, Ao Qian panicked again. He hurriedly called out, "Senior, don't be anxious …"
"Fourth Crown Prince, is there anything else?" The Dragon race said with a smile. "This old man has to hurry up and settle this matter here. I still have to go back and report to the elders!"
"This …" Ao Qian smiled bitterly. "It's not that this junior doesn't want to listen to Senior's advice, but … but to really cut off the blood relatives that I grew up with … This junior really can't bear it!"
"Mm …" The Dragon race nodded. "You're not wrong.
To tell you the truth, it's precisely because of this bit of kinship in your heart that the elders value you!
If you didn't hesitate to make a move, this old man might really change his mind.
Since you care about your blood relatives, this old man really has to help you! "
As he spoke, the Dragon race raised his hand and pointed at the First Crown Prince and Second Crown Prince who were lying on the ground on the left and right below the high platform. He asked, "When these two princes are scheming and fighting for the golden throne, have they ever shown mercy?"
"Never!"
Ao Qian shook his head. "According to what this junior knows, if there's a chance between them, they definitely won't let each other live!
It's also because of this that this junior has the chance to go to Dragon Island to train!
Not the two of them. "
"What about them to you?
If they knew that you wanted to take the Dragon King's position, would they let you live? "The Dragon race asked with interest.
"Sigh!
How is that possible! "
Ao Qian smiled bitterly again. "Ever since this junior was sensible, I knew that the position of Dragon King did not belong to me. I definitely could not have any other thoughts. All these years, this junior has never told the other members of the Dragon Clan about my thoughts. I have never dared to look at that golden throne!
In the eyes of the other dragons, this junior is just a carefree prince. Even so, the First Crown Prince has been beating around the bush and arranging spies around this junior … "
"Isn't that the case?
They don't have any kinship in their eyes. Why do you have to worry? "The Dragon race laughed." What you're doing … is just what they want to do but can't do!
Furthermore, the South Sea Dragon Palace will only decline in the hands of the Dragon race who doesn't recognize their own kin. It will forever be at the bottom of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas. Only in your hands can it have a chance of glory and become the head of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas! "
"Perhaps …" Ao Qian's gaze was a little unfocused.
"Fourth Crown Prince …" The Dragon race spoke again. "To be honest, today's opportunity is really a gift from the heavens. Your Royal Father went to the East Sea Dragon Palace for a banquet, and this old man just happened to be here. If this old man didn't have the Elder's orders, how could the First Crown Prince, Second Crown Prince, and Third Crown Prince come together for a banquet?
If this old man didn't have the Deity Parting Flower and the Fourth Crown Prince coincidentally had the Bewitching Wine, how could the three Crown Princes sleep so peacefully?
All these coincidences … You don't think this old man is scheming, do you? "
"That's not true!"
Ao Qian regained his senses and replied. "This junior has only obtained the Bewitching Wine a few days ago. This junior has never mentioned it to anyone.
Senior, you can't possibly know! "
"Therefore, such an excellent opportunity is a gift from the heavens. If the Fourth Crown Prince doesn't grasp it, then you won't have such an opportunity in the future!"
The Dragon race said meaningfully. "Furthermore, when other dragons have this opportunity in the future, Fourth Crown Prince, you can't blame the heavens and accuse others!"
"But …" The Fourth Crown Prince still seemed to hesitate. The Dragon race had already begun to frown. At this moment, a strange sound began to come from outside the hall. It sounded rather hurried.
"Who is it!!!"
The Fourth Crown Prince, Ao Qian, was furious. He roared at the dragon general who was standing guard outside the hall. "Didn't this prince say it already?
No matter what happens outside, you can't disturb this prince … "
"Yes, this subordinate understands!"
The vigilant dragon general agreed without hesitation. He waved his hand and a crescent-shaped dragon weapon appeared. The warning sound instantly disappeared.
"Fourth Crown Prince, could it be that you still have some misgivings?" At this moment, the Dragon race came to his senses and asked in a low voice.
Ao Qian nodded. "Indeed!
Although Royal Father isn't in the Dragon Palace, if he returns and sees the three Crown Princes missing, senior, what do you think he'll think? "
"Mm!" The Dragon race nodded. "That's a problem.
This isn't easy to answer. After all, you're the one who benefited the most. Anyone who guesses will put you at the top of the list of suspects!
However, even if that's the case, so what?
Does the South Sea Dragon King want to kill you as well? "
"It's not impossible!" Ao Qian answered with a bitter face. "That's this junior's greatest misgivings!"
"Buzz buzz …" Before the Dragon tribe could reply, an unusual activity was once again transmitted from outside the hall. Ao Qian's face was startled. He glanced in the direction of the hall door before looking at the Dragon tribe. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "Something unusual must have occurred outside the hall. Otherwise, it is impossible for this junior's subordinate to repeatedly warn us!"
"Fourth Crown Prince, let's go take a look!" The Dragon race sighed softly. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Fourth Crown Prince's indecisiveness.
Ao Qian nodded at the dragon general outside the hall door. He clenched his claws and glanced at the three Crown Princes below the high platform. Clearly, he was prepared to make a move if he sensed that something was wrong.
The dragon general raised his dragon claw and grabbed at the hall door. A whirlpool appeared in the jade water outside the door. A moment later, a fist-sized dragon crystal flew out of the whirlpool.
The dragon general hurriedly picked it up and respectfully presented it to the Fourth Crown Prince. Ao Qian took the dragon crystal and scanned it with his Yuan Will. His expression changed drastically as he cried out involuntarily, "Enemy attack?
How is this possible?
Someone actually took advantage of the weakness of the South Sea Dragon Palace's defensive array to attack the array? "
When Ao Qian said this, not only did the Dragon race beside him, but even the dragon generals near the hall also changed their expressions.
Today, in order to set up a trap, Ao Qian used the Dragon Palace's secret order to call back all the dragon generals within the defensive array. Firstly, he wanted to kill the dragon generals loyal to the three Crown Princes. Secondly, he was afraid that the three Crown Princes would resist. Ao Qian wanted to concentrate his forces near the hall.
In his opinion, the South Sea Dragon Palace had not been attacked by enemies for tens of thousands of years. How could there be a change in half a day?
However, an enemy had taken advantage of the moment when the defensive array was relaxed to attack.
In that case, who was the enemy that came to invade?
