241: Frame up!

Red Jiaolong’s mind raced, but seeing Harag look over with a hint of curiosity, he tried to calm himself. Still, he couldn't stop his brows from knitting tightly as he urgently asked, "How did Father King arrange it?"

"Reporting to Second Crown Prince, the Dragon King has already dispatched three marshals from the palace to handle it."

"With those three marshals, the invading sea beasts won't cause much trouble."

Hearing this, Red Jiaolong breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, listening to his subordinate's description, the four invading sea beasts were all as strong as the three marshals, which put no small amount of pressure on them.

The subordinate seemed to know what he was thinking and quickly continued, "Second Crown Prince, although the three marshals will have some difficulty dealing with them, the Crown Prince is still on his expedition to the land and has not yet returned. There are a total of four sea beasts causing the rebellion."

"The last one will probably be handled by the Dragon King himself."

"Second Crown Prince, you can rest assured, those four sea beasts won't cause any trouble!"

Red Jiaolong finally let out a long sigh of relief. After some thought, he waved his hand, signaling for his subordinate to leave.

With his current strength, although it would be difficult to deal with the invading sea beasts, this generation of the Dragon King's lineage almost all shared a common trait of arrogance.

Hearing that his Father King hadn't thought of him, he immediately became displeased.

"Second Crown Prince, what kind of sea beasts dare to offend the Dragon Palace?"

Beside him, Harag wore a fawning expression, then, as if he himself had been offended by the four sea beasts, he reprimanded in a low voice, "These fellows are truly audacious!"

However, what was laughable was that at this moment, no sea beast at all cared about such a small fry or his weak voice.

"Hmph!"

Red Jiaolong snorted, feeling a bit indignant, "If Black Jiao can go on an expedition, why can't I, Red Jiaolong, handle a rogue sea beast? Wouldn't that mean I'm far inferior to Black Jiao?"

With this thought, he immediately got up and left the palace, muttering to himself, "This matter can be handled by me alone. Why would Father King need to make a move?"

Not long after, Red Jiaolong arrived in the sea area south of the Dragon Palace. What he saw was a sea beast, not too large in size but very powerful, wreaking havoc there. Many Dragon Palace sea beasts had already met their demise in its mouth.

"What sea beast dares to stir up trouble in the Dragon Palace?"

Red Jiaolong immediately let out a low roar, his words full of anger, "You don't want to live, do you?"

"So weak?"

Not far away, the sea beast immediately became interested, thinking that the Dragon Palace had finally sent someone capable. But after seeing Red Jiaolong's strength, it immediately showed disdain, "You are not the Dragon King!"

"Where did this little brat come from?"

The sea beast was clearly very disappointed and spoke brazenly, "If you don't get lost, be careful, this king won't be polite!"

"Why use an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken?"

"I am the Second Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace!"

Red Jiaolong was instantly furious upon hearing this, "You sea beast, how dare you speak so arrogantly? Prepare to die!"

Currently, Red Jiaolong had only recently broken through to the early Sixth-stage. He was just beginning to master this powerful strength, and thus, at this moment, his confidence was overflowing, feeling that no enemy was his match.

Moreover, he really wanted to perform for his Father King and prove that he was no worse than Black Jiao.

But after a few rounds, Red Jiaolong was severely wounded by this unknown sea beast, constantly spitting blood!

"You're still too green."

The unknown sea beast looked at Red Jiaolong with great disdain, then curled its lips, mocking him, "This king won't kill you. Go quickly and tell your Father King to come and die!"

"You..."

Red Jiaolong looked up, about to curse, but was directly captured alive by the sea beast. This instantly filled him with grief and indignation, making him not even dare to look at the many sea soldiers and generals nearby.

After all, before he arrived, there were still sea soldiers and generals resisting here. Now, his predicament was witnessed by all, and Red Jiaolong only felt humiliated.

"Second Crown Prince!"

All around, the sea soldiers and generals under the Dragon King's command wanted to rush forward to rescue Red Jiaolong, but they were also wary of Red Jiaolong being harmed by the sea beast. For a moment, they were caught between a rock and a hard place, not knowing what to do.

"Who told you to act on your own?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out from not far away. Before the voice even faded, it caused all the sea beasts to feel a powerful pressure. The sea soldiers and generals even showed excited expressions, almost cheering.

Even Red Jiaolong began to get excited, just about to say something, but then he suddenly heard the next sentence, and his eyes instantly filled with unwillingness, "You are far inferior to Black Jiao!"

"I'll deal with you later!"

With that, a golden dragon appeared.

The Golden Dragon King cast a glance at the sea beast, his face thoughtful.

"Dragon King, you're finally here!"

Opposite him, the sea beast's strength was only early Sixth-stage, but at this moment, facing the Dragon King, who was at least late Sixth-stage, it showed no fear at all. Instead, it revealed a happy expression.

The Golden Dragon King could tell that the sea beast's happiness was very sincere, so he asked in a deep voice, "Speak!"

"Who sent you?"

He knew that a sea beast of early Sixth-stage would never dare to challenge him.

There must be someone behind him, and now was a good time to ask.

The sea beast, however, remained unafraid, and instead said provocatively, "Kill me, and you'll know!"

Seeing this, the Golden Dragon King immediately snorted coldly and, without hesitation, spat out a breath attack, directly killing the sea beast. Red Jiaolong also escaped danger as a result.

He glanced at where the sea beast had been, only to find that no flesh and blood remained. He immediately frowned, "A clone?"

"Not good!"

Suddenly, the Dragon King reacted, his expression changing rapidly, "It's a feint to lure the tiger out of its mountain!"

Before his words even fell, the Golden Dragon King quickly returned to the Dragon Palace.

And at this very moment, in the sea area where the Dragon Palace was located, the water currents began to fluctuate violently, showing signs of great turmoil.

He only felt it for a moment before confirming his suspicion, "As expected, they are after the sea-stabilizing divine needle. I was almost fooled!"

"Come!"

As the sea soldiers and generals stepped forward, the Golden Dragon King's words were filled with killing intent and anger, "Issue an order! Quickly recall the three marshals. Tell them not to entangle with those invading sea beasts; they are all fakes!"

"Yes!"

In less than a moment, the Golden Dragon King returned to the main hall of the Dragon Palace, only to see that all the arrangements around the colossal pillar that once reached the sky, as well as the various buildings and sacred spirits that had grown attached to the sea-stabilizing divine needle, were now all gone, leaving an empty space. His expression immediately turned extremely grim, "Who? Who exactly?"

"I will kill you!"

"Dragon King!"

Just then, an old turtle swam over in a hurry, his face full of anxiety, "I saw with my own eyes that it was the Jiangnan Tiger King who snuck in, injured countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and finally stole the sea-stabilizing divine needle!"
