1936 The Roiling Eastern Sea, Three Months Pass

During the three-day battle, in addition to the Sea Prince, who had been judged to have fallen, another protagonist who had received much attention.

Li Qianyuan, the Huntian Marquis of Grand Xia, was also missing.

If it weren't for the fact that his name was still in the first place on the Prodigy List, many people would suspect that he had died like the Sea Prince. Li Qianyuan's whereabouts were unknown, and in the eyes of many of the marine folks, he had fled with the Sea Prince's body.

This made many masters of the marine folks furious. It was fine that the Sea Prince was killed, but the killer even took away the corpse. In their eyes, Li Qianyuan was a monster.

But three days later, Li Qianyuan finally reappeared. It was said that someone saw him covered in blood, almost dying at the steps of the Li clan stronghold. No one had ever seen him in such a sorry state—like a stray dog whose spine had been broken.

According to the rumors from the Li clan, Li Qianyuan was on the verge of death. After being unconscious for three days, he finally woke up from his coma. The first news he brought after waking up was that he was not the one who had killed the Sea Prince.

When this news came out, the entire Li clan was shocked. When the news of the Sea Prince's death spread, even they were sure that Li Qianyuan had killed the Sea Prince.

Except for Li Qianyuan, who else had the motive and ability to kill the Sea Prince?

Therefore, they tacitly agreed to all of this. For this reason, they did not hesitate to fall out with the marine folks. The Li clan's hundreds of years of foundation in the Eastern Sea was also uprooted.

They even had to make many promises to the other allies within the crown prince's faction and give up many benefits in exchange for the other allies to take action. Although they were allies and were under the crown prince's banner, the various families were still in a competitive relationship. It was naturally not that easy to get them to contribute. The price they had to pay was enough to make the upper echelons of the Li clan feel very pained.

However, to save the Li clan's greatest hope of rising in the future, they did not hesitate to pay any price.

However, the news brought by Li Qianyuan was that the Sea Prince was not killed by him, but by someone else. Even Li Qianyuan was seriously injured and suffered heavy casualties.

The entire Li clan was furious. It was that guy again!

Previously, that guy had invaded the Li clan's stronghold and raided their treasury. He had also taken away the Divine Flame Fruit that the Li clan had obtained through great difficulty. This made the Li clan furious.

To find that guy, the Li clan even delayed the search for the Ocean Overlord's cave. This led to the Sea Prince's ambush, which turned from a surprise attack to a war of attrition.

Now, that guy had the evil intention to take advantage of the battle between Li Qianyuan and the Sea Prince. He killed the Sea Prince and made Li Qianyuan take the blame. This triggered a shocking war between the crown prince's faction and the Sea Prince's marine folks. Both sides suffered heavy losses.

In three days, the Li clan's losses were shocking. The Li clan's strength had regressed by decades almost overnight. Countless experts had died out on the Eastern Sea, and this was definitely not what the Li clan wanted to see.

However, they were now told that all of it was fake.

For a moment, the entire Li clan was completely furious, and this news spread at the fastest speed.

"It wasn't Li Qianyuan who killed him, but a nameless person. Are all nameless people so powerful now?"

"The pictures that are circulating now are definitely not his original appearance. It's just that no one can see through his disguise, so we can only chase him according to the pictures. However, I don't think it will be effective."

"I wonder which senior expert made a move. Hahaha, isn't the Li clan always arrogant and not give a d*mn about us? Now let them see what else they have to say!"

"That's right. The Li clan has suffered a great loss this time. I don't think they will have the ability to march into the Eastern Sea in the next few decades."

"It's not just the Li clan. According to the news from the Li clan, even the marine folks suffered a loss. They all thought that Li Qianyuan killed the Sea Prince and fought with the Li clan to avenge the Sea Prince. Who knew that this was simply a mistake?"

"That man toyed with two giants in the palm of his hand. This person is simply terrifying. I wonder who he is?"

"However, I don't think it's true. The Li clan isn't a loose force. They spread this information as quickly as they could to show the marine folks what it's really about."

Many smart people could tell that the Li clan had deliberately spread the news in such a short time. The Li clan was a military family of Grand Xia. Naturally, they would not lower their heads to the marine folks. However, they were also unwilling to be the scapegoat for others. In the future, the Li clan would have to enter the Eastern Sea again. If they did not explain clearly, the Li clan might be attacked by the marine folks at any time and it would be impossible for them to stand firm.

In Grand Xia, they were extremely powerful. However, in the Eastern Sea, they were nothing.

And things were just as many people expected. After receiving the goodwill of the Li clan, the marine folks immediately gave up and did not continue to encircle and suppress the Li clan.

After this battle, the Li clan and the crown prince's faction successfully established their dignity. They were indeed powerful enough. Unless the entire marine folks attacked, it would not be easy to destroy them. Therefore, the higher-ups of the marine folks quickly made a decision not to continue fighting with the Li clan.

Immediately after, all the marine folks issued a reward for the Sea Prince's killer. Although they also knew that the appearance of that monster was most likely not his original appearance and that the probability of finding him by relying on such a drawing was very low, the marine folks could not care less in their anger.

Even a large number of experts of the marine folks began to seal off the famous islands in the Eastern Sea to search for the killer. Experts with such strength, as long as they were on the marine folks' list, were found one by one.

For a time, the entire the Eastern Sea was in chaos.

Three months passed by in a flash.

In the Mountain River Diagram, Chu Yunfan sat cross-legged. His aura became more and more mellow as if he had become one with the world of the Mountain River Diagram.
