Peerless War God

However, Hai Lanxin did not bring Chen Xiao in through the main entrance. Instead, she took a detour around the back of the hall and went in through the back door. Following that, under her lead, Chen Xiao arrived at a secret room at the back of the hall. Amongst the two males standing at the very front, one was a woman and one was Hai Donghua. Behind them were a dozen or so Seafolk with different appearances.    

However, their strength was not to be underestimated. All of them were experts of the War God.    

Chen Xiao believed that these people should still be part of the strong members of the Sea Clan, and they would definitely not be half of that.    

"The woman standing at the very front, is the Grand Princess, Hai Qiu. You have met the third prince on her left, Hai Donghua. On her right is the fourth prince, Hai Bai Fan. Behind them is a portion of the commanders of the Sea Clan. " Hai Lanxin introduced the place to Chen Xiao.    

"You need to pay special attention to the Shark Man at the front of the group. He is Hai Sha, and the Sea Realm City is managed by him. Moreover, this fellow's ranking is within the top 10. " Hai Lanxin specifically pointed out Hai Sha.    

Chen Xiao's gaze naturally turned towards Hai Sha, his strength was not weak, but from Chen Xiao's point of view, Hai Lanxin was not referring to Hai Sha's own strength alone.    

"Everyone, regarding my assassination, leave the Ocean Emperor for me to handle myself. "No need to trouble everyone to put in so much effort for me." In the middle of the hall, Bai Lan sat on the seat of honor, and spoke to the people below.    

She was the one who did the secondary seat, but in reality, she rarely appeared in the hall. The reason was naturally because Bai Lan did not want to bother with the matters of the Sea Clan.    

But this time, Bai Lan had to come out. The Ocean Emperor was not here right now, so if she was unable to control the situation, then the sky would change for the Sea Clan.    

In other words, it wasn't an exaggeration at all. The Ocean Emperor had been in power for hundreds of years, and under his control, the Sea Clan was stable and prosperous. However, the Ocean Emperor did not have the heart to fight for hegemony. As for being able to control the Canghai Region, he felt satisfied. However, in the eyes of some of the commanders, it had become one of the reasons why the Ocean Emperor was not qualified enough to continue holding this position.    

As for the children below, they were slowly growing up. It was fine earlier on, but as the Ocean Emperor gave more and more tasks to Grand Princess Hai Qiu to handle, many people felt that the Ocean Emperor was already laying the groundwork for their succession to the throne and Hai Qiu was the next successor to the Ocean Emperor.    

This point, towards Hai Donghua and Hai Bai Fan, was naturally not willing to accept.    

That is the position of the Ocean Emperor! The leader of the whole Sea Clan, the one in charge of the most powerful position in the Canghai Region! To anyone, its temptation was unquestionable!    

Thus, it created an open rivalry between the princes and princesses of the Sea Clan.    

As for why the Ocean Emperor would allow his children to live like this, that was his own problem.    

"Empress, the assassination attempt on you is definitely not that simple. The reason why the assassins could sneak in and escape must be because there was someone supporting them in the Haihuang Sect. This is a huge potential threat to the Haihuang Sect! We can't just sit back and do nothing! " Hai Donghua said with a serious face.    

His current performance was completely different from when he had made things difficult for Chen Xiao. This made Chen Xiao a little surprised.    

"That's right, third brother is right." We need to thoroughly investigate the assassin's infiltration. We've already discussed this before coming here. We must investigate this matter properly. So, I hope the Queen can let the His Majesty the Sovereign of the Seas take charge of the overall situation. " These words came from the Fourth Prince Hai Bai Fan. On the other hand, he was expressionless, so he could not tell what kind of person he was.    

However, what he said instead obtained the support of many of the commanders behind him.    

"Earlier, the news of the disappearance of the His Majesty the Sovereign of the Seas had been circulating around the world. Even after I tried my best, I was still unable to suppress the news. And these commanders who came over, most of them had the intention to see the His Majesty the Sovereign of the Seas. " Hai Lanxin spoke out again. And her words, made Chen Xiao immediately realize something.    

"No wonder you've been so busy. It's because of this." Chen Xiao continued.    

Hai Lanxin nodded, but she did not continue speaking as her gaze fell upon Bai Lan. Now, it all depended on how Bai Lan would deal with it.    

"Everyone, I naturally understand. The Sovereign of the Seas also understand the implications of this matter, so the Sovereign of the Seas has already handed over the investigation to Hai Qiu to handle." Bai Lan brought up the topic directly to Grand Princess.    

After Hai Qiu heard this, he was clearly startled. Fortunately, she was standing at the very front, so no one else had seen this scene.    

Naturally, the Ocean Emperor could not contact Hai Qiu regarding the investigation. But Bai Lan dared to say that, naturally she had her own reasons. Hai Qiu's position in the Haihuang Sect was only below the Ocean Emperor, and not even Bai Lan. But exactly because of this, Hai Qiu had to consider even more things.    

Therefore, Bai Lan told her about the disappearance of the Ocean Emperor in this manner. In Bai Lan's opinion, unless Hai Qiu had enough assurance to be able to control the Haihuang Sect, it would not be beneficial to her if the news of the Sovereign of the Seas really did not spread.    

With Hai Qiu's intelligence, she quickly understood. The reason Bai Lan did this, was undoubtedly because he wanted to take her hand and stabilize the situation. However, she could only choose to cooperate.    

The commanders behind her had already asked several times if she was telling the truth. Immediately, Hai Qiu turned and nodded towards one of the commanders.    

"Yes, His Majesty the Sovereign of the Seas has already instructed me to thoroughly investigate this matter. When the time comes, I hope that the commanders can cooperate well with me. " Hai Qiu said.    

When these words were spoken, the group of commanders immediately quietened down. They might not trust Bai Lan very much, but they trusted his words very much. Since she had said that she had come into contact with the Ocean Emperor, then the rumors of the disappearance of the Ocean Emperor would naturally be broken.    

"Grand Princess, don't worry. As long as it is useful to us, just open your mouth and let us know. For the peace of the Haihuang Sect, our hard work is nothing. " One of the commanders expressed support. Soon after, more commanders responded.    

After reaching this point, the commanders were more or less stabilized by Bai Lan. After that, they did not continue interacting with Bai Lan, and left the Great Assembly Hall one after the other. When Hai Qiu was about to leave, Chen Xiao saw her give him a glance. She would probably come to look for Bai Lan in a while.    

After they had all walked out of the great hall, Bai Lan turned around and spoke to Chen Xiao, "Lanxin, come out."    

These words made Chen Xiao look at Hai Lanxin. But Hai Lanxin did not explain anything and directly brought Chen Xiao out of the other hidden door.    

"Xiao Chen? Why are you here too? " Seeing Chen Xiao coming out from behind Hai Lanxin, Bai Lan was surprised.
