"Bei Chen, are you being too arrogant, daring to speak to my father, the Emperor, 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 kind of incident was a failure on the part of the Hell Dynasty. If the Hell Dynasty hadn't been breached, how could I have been so passive? And how could I have led the army back to defend the Hell Dynasty!"
"You audacious!" 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 face will our dynasty have!"
Many ministers present also nodded. They too were greatly dissatisfied 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 hadn't fallen, such a thing wouldn't have happened!" The King of Hell waved his hand. "However, what are your plans next, Bei Chen?"
"Naturally, it is to attack the Heavenly Court Dynasty. This time, we must be prepared and not allow any more mistakes!" Bei Chen stated directly.
"How are you going to attack!" Prince Hei Yan sneered. "Do you really think the Heavenly Court Dynasty is so easy to deal with? Now that the Hell Dynasty has been heavily wounded, how can it be so easy to attack 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, he did not take Hei Yan seriously.
Hei Yan's face turned ashen. He was very displeased with Bei Chen's words but had no recourse.
"Father, Bei Chen is so arrogant. If he is not warned, how can he command respect!"
With a sharp gaze, Hei Yan said abruptly, his dissatisfaction palpable. In his opinion, as a prince of the Hell Dynasty, he should naturally be treated with courtesy. When had he ever 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 a prince of this dynasty, you can act recklessly. On the battlefield, if you do not obey the commander, no one is allowed to act arbitrarily!"
Facing these words, Prince Bei Chen was slightly stunned, his expression instantly turning somewhat unpleasant. 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 will not let such a thing happen again. You don't need to worry too much. Just focus on your task. As long as you can take down the Heavenly Court Dynasty, you will be credited with the greatest achievement, 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 paid him any mind.
Hei Yan's face turned ashen, his heart filled with even greater dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do.
He never understood why his father treated Bei Chen this way, which made him bewildered and even at a loss.
After everyone had left, Hei Yan went to the Lord of Hell. "Father, I don't understand why you are so indulgent towards Bei Chen. Even though 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?"
"Noble families? What of it? Can they contend with our royal family?" Prince Hei Yan said directly, without any reservation.
"There are some 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 should not. Otherwise, it won't be good for you at that time!"
Threatened in this way, Hei Yan's expression changed, but he did not dare to say more. His heart was filled with even more stifled resentment. He never understood why his father would speak to him like this, which left him completely bewildered.
After leaving the Imperial City, Bei Chen returned to his family. The Black Lotus Envoy had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Bei Chen return, his face was filled with a smile. "Did the Lord of Hell give you trouble?"
"Naturally, he did not give me trouble!"
Bei Chen smiled faintly. "How could the Lord of Hell give me trouble? He is still hoping for me to defeat the Heavenly Court Dynasty. Even if he wanted to give me trouble, he couldn't at this time!"
"While that may be true, Young Master should still be careful. After all, within the entire Hell Dynasty, there are many people with ulterior motives. What happened today is not an ordinary matter for the noble families!" The Black Lotus Envoy said solemnly.
"I am naturally aware of what you are saying!"
Bei Chen nodded slightly, his gaze becoming 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 ended in failure. Otherwise, it would not have reached this stage.
Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in Bei Chen's heart, accompanied by extreme unwillingness.
Meanwhile, within Kyushu City, Lu Fan and the others had been waiting for several days. Seeing that the Hell Dynasty made no move, they finally felt at ease.
"It seems it's time to head back to the Imperial Capital!" Lu Fan said, "After this incident, I believe the Hell Dynasty will not dare to act rashly, or rather, they will be prepared before making a move against us!"
"That's true!"
Xue Long said, "This time, being able to save the Heavenly Court Dynasty is all thanks to the Marshal. Otherwise, it would have been a great impact on the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty. This time, upon returning to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor will surely bestow generous rewards!"
"These are all trivial matters!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "My biggest worry is still the people of the Hell Dynasty. If possible, eradicating the Hell Dynasty would allow the Heavenly Court Dynasty to achieve eternal life and be free from any threats!"
"This..."
The eunuch Xue Long was stunned, his face filled with embarrassment. He had not expected Lu Fan to say such a thing, which caught him off guard.
"The Hell Dynasty is extremely powerful, and their overall foundation is also very considerable. Eliminating them will likely not be an easy task!"
Xue Long shook his head. "Being able to achieve this much is already a stroke of great fortune!"
"I am naturally aware of what you are saying!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression becoming even more indifferent. At this point, it seemed there was nothing more to say. They could only return to the Imperial City first.
After all, no matter what decision he made, it would ultimately be up to that person in the Imperial City to decide, which was understandable. Su Dan Novel Network
After a few more days, the army marched towards the Imperial City. In Kyushu City, many experts were stationed to prevent any attacks from the Hell Dynasty.
As they approached the Imperial City, the army camped just outside, preparing to rest for the night before entering the Imperial City.
