Retreated?!
Xia Ping was stunned. No matter how imaginative he was, he had not expected such a thing to happen. They had retreated without a trace. What had happened?
"You can check the internet for the specifics. The news should have a detailed explanation." Su Ji could not explain it in a few words. She might as well let Xia Ping read the news.
"Alright."
Xia Ping nodded. He immediately logged onto the internet and searched for the latest news.
"It's true. The sea demon alliance retreated three days ago. They didn't ask for anything. They just retreated without a trace." Xia Ping raised his eyebrows. He had seen the news everywhere on the internet. He had not expected the sea demon alliance to retreat so quickly.
After all, even though 3,000 Grandmasters had died, and the Shark Demon King and Shadow Demon King had been seriously injured, the sea demon alliance was still very powerful. If they fought to the death, they could cause huge casualties to Giant Island.
But now, they had retreated without any explanation.
However, he soon saw someone give the reason why the sea demon alliance had retreated. It was because Xia Ping had ambushed the Shark Demon race's base and plundered the Shark Demon King's treasure, threatening the foundation of many sea demons.
This action had greatly intimidated many of the Monster Kings. They did not dare to act rashly.
In the past, these deep sea Monster Kings had been arrogant and despotic. They had looked down on humans because of the natural defenses of the sea. No matter how powerful humans were, they could not harm their base.
But now it was different. Xia Ping could enter and exit the ocean city at will. He could strike a huge blow at the base of these sea demons at any time.
It could be said that this had taught many of the sea demons a lesson. Humans also had the military power to attack the underwater world.
Even if humans could not occupy the underwater world, they could heavily injure it and completely destroy it. They could send it back to the Stone Age.
After all, destruction was much simpler than creation.
"I did not expect that this action would cause the sea demons to retreat. What a coincidence." Xia Ping rubbed his chin. He had wanted to make a fortune by robbing the rich to help the poor.
He had not expected such an unexpected effect. It scared the Monster Kings into retreating. They obediently returned to their nests. They did not dare to attack Giant Island again. This was a pleasant surprise.
"Oh? The news of the Mermaid Princess being kidnapped has spread? How did it spread so quickly? Did someone add fuel to the fire? " Xia Ping touched his chin. He had seen the news on the internet. It was filled with news of the Mermaid Princess being kidnapped.
This news even overshadowed the news of the retreat of the sirens. People were discussing it everywhere, and the internet was flooded with all kinds of rumors.
It was impossible for the news to spread so quickly without a mastermind behind the scenes.
"Could it be Shark Demon Monarch's doing?"
Xia Ping guessed that there weren't many people who knew about this. Jiang Yaru and Su Ji probably wouldn't say anything about it, and the Giant Company wouldn't spread it either. After all, they didn't want to have a falling out with the Mermaid King.
He reckoned that only the Shark Daemon King, who had a great enmity with him, could do such a thing. Perhaps the power of the Wanyao Mountain had also secretly made a move.
Perhaps the other party wanted him to become the target of public criticism, to endure great pressure and become the target of countless sea monsters.

Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared, revealing a piece of breaking news. Last night, the Endless Sea's Orchid Island had been breached by the Sea Dragon Clan's Crown Prince, and the humans on the island had been captured.
"Orchid Island?!"
Xia Ping's brows twitched. He suddenly recalled that this so-called Orchid Island was the main island owned by the Wang Clan, who had a grudge against him. It was said that it was the base of the Wang Clan, an important military location.
But now, it had been breached by the Sea Dragon Clan, and all the humans had been captured. It looked like they were going to be wiped out.
He remembered that the Wang Clan was arrogant and despotic, sending a large number of Grandmasters to kill him. Just because they were a king clan, they were unscrupulous. Who would have thought that they would meet with such misfortune? How unlucky.
He treated this news as a joke. For his enemies, the more unlucky they were, the better.
But this pop-up window was just the beginning. There were still many more news appearing.
"Extra news, extra news. Stone Bamboo Island has been breached by the Whale Clan, and all the humans have been captured."
"Rooster Crown Island has also suffered a calamity. The Octopus Clan has breached its defenses in a single night."
"Peacock Island has fallen, and Wisdom King Island has been breached!"
Shocking news came one after another. It seemed that these sea monsters had acted together and breached the human islands in a single night. All the humans had been captured, and not a single one had escaped.
This was a lightning-fast war.
However, these islands were nothing more than pebbles compared to the vast human territory. Occupying a small island like this was equivalent to occupying a small village.
Unless they occupied a super city like the Giant Island, it would not be a fatal crisis.
Although the occupied area was small, it was very significant. It was unknown why these sea monsters had acted together to target the humans, but this was enough to make some of the big shots of the human race vigilant.
"Interesting."
Xia Ping touched his chin, and his eyes flickered.
He could see that these islands were private islands in the human world. They were controlled by the king clans of the Endless Sea, and were considered private territories. They were not under the jurisdiction of the federal government, and they were not obliged to pay taxes.
The actions of these sea monsters were very targeted. With the guidance of an expert, they did not touch the bottom line of the humans, but they still made the humans nervous and very careful.
He guessed that these monsters wanted to use this operation to achieve some kind of goal.
Sure enough, not long after.
The prince of the Sea Dragon Clan, Hai Peng, immediately said, "I am here to seriously warn the humans. Immediately release the Mermaid Princess, return her safe and sound, and apologize at the same time."
"Otherwise, I will kill all the humans on Orchid Island as a warning to others."
He claimed that he had broken into the Orchid Island to rescue the Mermaid Princess, and that he had done so openly.
"That's right, immediately release the Mermaid Princess."
"If you don't release her immediately, the humans on Stone Bamboo Island, Rooster Crown Island, Peacock Island, and other islands will all die."
"This is an ultimatum, and definitely not a joke."
"If you don't release the Mermaid Princess and apologize, we will not rest."
"Also, hand over the human murderer Xia Ping and chop off his head to appease our anger. Otherwise, we will continue to kill and destroy the human islands one by one."
"That's right. The main culprit, the human Xia Ping, must die. There is no room for discussion."
"We will only give you one day to consider. One second late, and one person will die!"
