"Bei Chen, are you too arrogant, daring to speak to my father like this!" Hei Yan said indignantly, "This is the imperial capital, not a place for you to run wild!"
"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Bei Chen sneered, "This matter, in itself, is a dereliction of duty by the Hell Dynasty. If the Hell Dynasty had not been breached, how could I have been so passive, and how could I have led the army back to defend the Hell Dynasty!"
"You are too bold!" Hei Yan was instantly furious and cupped his fists towards the Lord of Hell, "Father, Bei Chen's actions show no regard for the Hell Dynasty. This matter cannot be easily let go of him, otherwise, what would become of our dynasty's honor!"
Many ministers present also nodded, expressing great dissatisfaction with Bei Chen's words. Perhaps in their eyes, Bei Chen's behavior was indeed difficult to accept.
"This matter cannot be blamed on him alone. After all, as he said, if the imperial city had not fallen, none of this would have happened!" The King of Hell waved his hand, "However, what are your plans next, Bei Chen?"
"Naturally, it is to crusade against the Heavenly Court Dynasty. This time, we must be well-prepared and ensure no further mistakes are made!" Bei Chen stated directly.
"How will you crusade!" Prince Hei Yan sneered, "Do you really think the Heavenly Court Dynasty is that easy to deal with? Now that the Hell Dynasty has been severely damaged, how can it be so easy to crusade against the Heavenly Court Dynasty!"
"Do I need Prince Hei Yan to tell me what to do?" Bei Chen's expression was indifferent, carrying a hint of coldness. It seemed that in his eyes, Hei Yan was not taken seriously at all.
Hei Yan's face turned ashen. Being spoken to like that by Bei Chen made him very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
"Father, Bei Chen is so arrogant. If he is not warned, how can he command respect!" Hei Yan said sharply, with extreme dissatisfaction in his eyes. In his opinion, as the Prince of the Hell Dynasty, he should be treated with courtesy and should never have endured such humiliation.
"Shut up!" The Lord of Hell looked at Hei Yan, "I heard that you disrupted the commander's orders on the main battlefield. Don't think that just because you are the prince of this dynasty, you can act recklessly. On the battlefield, if you don't obey the commander, no one is allowed to act on their own!"
Facing these words, Prince Bei Chen was slightly stunned, and his expression instantly turned unsightly. He had not expected his father to speak so quickly, catching him off guard.
At the same time, the Lord of Hell looked at Bei Chen, "Don't worry, I won't let such a thing happen again. You don't need to worry too much. Just focus on your task. As long as you can capture the Heavenly Court Dynasty, you will be the first to be credited, and you will be able to control the entire Heavenly Court in the future!"
"Thank you, Lord of Hell!" Bei Chen cupped his fists and then strode away, his gaze even more indifferent. As for Hei Yan, he had never taken him seriously.
Hei Yan's face turned ashen, and his heart was even more displeased, but there was no suitable solution. He never understood why his father treated Bei Chen this way, which made him feel puzzled and even at a loss.
After everyone left, Hei Yan came before the Lord of Hell, "Father, I am very confused. Why are you so indulgent towards Bei Chen? Even if he has the strength of an Immortal Emperor, it shouldn't be like this!"
"What do you know!" The Lord of Hell said coldly, "Do you think I value his strength? Do you know who is behind him?"
"The noble clans? So what? Can they contend with my royal family?" Prince Hei Yan said directly, without any reservation in his words.
"There are things you don't know, and I don't blame you!" The Lord of Hell waved his hand, "But some things should be said, and some things should not be said. Otherwise, it won't be good for you!"
Threatened like this, Hei Yan's expression changed, but he dared not say more. He felt even more aggrieved. He never understood why his father spoke to him like this, which left him baffled.
After leaving the imperial city, Bei Chen returned to his clan. Envoy Hei Lian had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Bei Chen return, his face was filled with a smile, "Did the Lord of Hell not trouble you?"
"Of course, he didn't trouble me!" Bei Chen smiled faintly, "How could the Lord of Hell trouble me? He is still thinking about how I can defeat the Heavenly Court Dynasty. Even if he wanted to trouble me, he couldn't do it at this time!"
"That being said, Young Master should still be careful. After all, in the entire Hell Dynasty, there are many people with covetous intentions. What happened today is not an ordinary matter for the noble clans!" Envoy Hei Lian said solemnly.
"I naturally understand what you are saying!" Bei Chen nodded slightly, his eyes appearing even more indifferent. At this point, he naturally understood some things. It was a pity that this time, dealing with the Heavenly Court Dynasty ultimately failed, otherwise, it would not have reached this level. Thinking of this, Bei Chen felt a surge of anger and extreme unwillingness.
Meanwhile, within Jiuzhou City, Lu Fan and others had been waiting for several days. Seeing that the Hell Dynasty had no further movements, they finally felt relieved.
"It seems it's time to set off back to the imperial capital!" Lu Fan said, "After this incident, I believe the Hell Dynasty will not dare to act rashly, or they will be well-prepared before making a move against us!"
"That's true!" Xue Long said, "This time, we were able to protect the Heavenly Court Dynasty, all thanks to the Marshal. Otherwise, it would have been a great impact on the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty, and the Heavenly Emperor will surely reward us handsomely upon our return!"
"All of that is irrelevant!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "What worries me most are the people of the Hell Dynasty. If possible, only by destroying the Hell Dynasty can the Heavenly Court Dynasty achieve eternal life and be free from any threats!"
"This..." Eunuch Xue Long was stunned, and his face was embarrassed. He had not expected Lu Fan to speak like this, which caught him off guard.
"The Hell Dynasty is extremely powerful, and its overall foundation is also very formidable. Eradicating them is likely not an easy task!" Xue Long shook his head, "Being able to achieve this much now is already a great fortune!"
"I naturally understand what you are saying!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression appearing even more indifferent. At this point, there seemed to be nothing more to say, and they could only return to the imperial city first. After all, no matter what decision he made, it would need to be decided by the person in the imperial city, which was understandable.
After a few more days, the army set off for the imperial city. In Jiuzhou City, many experts were stationed to prevent any attacks from the Hell Dynasty. As they approached the imperial city, the army camped outside, preparing to rest for a night before entering the imperial city.
