Chapter 44 The Battle for Imperial Power
Chapter 44 The Battle for Imperial Power
"If you want to know what happened to your father, just grab him obediently and don't resist."

Although Sima Nan is confident that he can catch Ling Hantian, he doesn't want to make too much noise at this time. If he attracts the attention of the big figures in Tianxuanwuyuan, then things will be troublesome.

"You?" Ling Hantian's eyes shot fire, and Sima Nan actually used his father Ling Zhan to threaten him, which simply violated Ling Hantian's Ni Lin.

"Hmph," Sima Nan snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "I deprived you of the qualification to participate in the 36-city league. Maybe you naively thought that you could enter Tianxuanwuyuan through other methods. I really don't know, you How did this innocence survive until now?"

Sima Nan held his head up, as if he was in charge of everything, and continued, "Besides, I have evidence to prove that you beat up the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Qualifications for entry examination."

Sima Nan's voice was not loud, but it was heard very clearly by many people around. At the same time, everyone could see that Ling Hantian and Sima Nan had old grievances.

Ling Hantian stared straight at Sima Nan, his eyes were about to burst, blood was seeping from his tightly clenched hands, Sima Nan's tricks and tricks were to drive himself to a dead end and cut off his future and hope of martial arts.

And all of this is undoubtedly Ling Tianyang's intention.

"Old dog Sima, you are too deceitful!"

Ling Hantian was furious, his whole body was beating with true energy, his clothes were fluttering automatically in the absence of wind, his slightly thin body was as straight and straight as a Daguan knife.

"Ling Hantian, you can try to resist." Sima Nan gave Ling Hantian a disdainful look, and said casually: "According to the laws of the Tianxuan Kingdom, if you dare to resist, I have the right to kill you on the spot. "

Ling Hantian's face turned red, and his body trembled slightly because of extreme anger!

Sima Nan, he is hard to beat!
But he will never be caught without a fight!

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded from the crowd.

"Simanan, I don't know who gave you the courage to deliberately murder the prospective disciples of Tianxuanwu Academy."

The next moment, Hua Ruoyuan, who was dressed in plain robes, walked out with steady steps.

"Hua Ruoyuan?" Sima Nan's body shook violently, he turned around and looked at Hua Ruoyuan who was walking slowly, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

"Ling Shaoxia is extremely talented. Passing the assessment of the martial arts academy is a sure thing. Do you know what kind of crime is murdering a martial arts academy disciple?"

Hua Ruoyuan gave Ling Hantian a reassuring look, and then put a big hat on Sima Nan.

"A martial arts disciple?" Sima Nan snorted disdainfully, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said: "This Ling Hantian is just one of the thousands of entry-level assessment contestants of the martial arts academy. To say that Ling Hantian is a disciple of the Martial Academy is too unconvincing."

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not that it's unconvincing, but that you can't explain it to your master." Hua Ruoyuan replied coldly.

Sima Nan's face turned blue and purple. He was obviously very angry at Hua Ruoyuan's words, but the other party was the Imperial Tutor. hold back mentally.

But thinking of the support of King Yan and Ling Tianyang, Sima Nan boldly said: "Teacher, I have evidence to prove that this Ling Hantian beat the soldiers of the forbidden army who enforced the law openly. If this kind of behavior is so bad, if he is not severely punished, why should he be punished?" Convince the public, let’s talk again”

"Bold, you dare to contradict the old man?"

Seeing that Sima Nan dared to continue arguing with him, the aura of Dang Taifu suddenly exploded, and the shout contained the coercion of an acquired master.

Immediately, Sima Nan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He had no doubts that if Hua Ruoyuan shot him down now, his death would be in vain. It was impossible for King Yan to tear himself apart for him and Grand Tutor Hua Ruoyuan.

Thinking of this, Sima Nan didn't dare to speak any more, he could only cast a cold glance at Ling Hantian, without concealing his naked murderous intent.

After Hua Ruoyuan appeared, Young Master Wen also shrank his neck and lowered his head, not daring to look at Hua Ruoyuan.

Although his father is the commander of the imperial army, he is still far behind when compared with the current imperial tutor.

It's just that he didn't understand at all why Grand Tutor Hua Ruoyuan wanted to stand up for Ling Hantian.

Judging from the information given by Ling Tianyang, the Ling family has nothing to do with the big forces in Profound Sky City, let alone Hua Ruoyuan and other Houtian masters.

There was also Sima Nan who had this doubt, but he could only let go of this doubt temporarily, he couldn't leave, he had to watch Ling Hantian's every move.

Hua Ruoyuan ignored Sima Nan and the others, and beckoned to Ling Hantian. Ling Hantian hesitated for a while, then walked over with heavy steps, carrying the Daguan knife on his back.

Seeing that Ling Hantian was carrying a heavy knife of several hundred catties, his steps were not messy at all, and every step was very smooth, Hua Ruoyuan's eyes flashed with admiration.

"Senior, this junior owes you a favor for what happened today."

Ling Hantian is a person with clear grievances and grievances. It is indeed Hua Ruoyuan who resolved a huge crisis for him today, and he has already endured this favor.

"Hehe, Ling Shaoxia, you are serious."

Hua Ruoyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face: "Young Xia Ling, your father is safe for the time being. You can go to the assessment at ease. I hope you will shine in the assessment of the Martial Academy and become a blockbuster."

"Senior, I don't know where my father Ling Zhan is now, and how is he doing?" Hearing Hua Ruoyuan mentioning Ling Zhan, Ling Hantian couldn't help but feel his heart tense, and asked hastily.

Seeing Ling Hantian being so nervous, Hua Ruoyuan said with a serious face: "Your father Ling Zhan is temporarily trapped in the dungeon of the Ling family in Tianyan City, and his life is not in danger."

"Trapped in the dungeon of Ling's family?" Ling Hantian is very clear about the situation in the dungeon of Ling Hantian's family. Even if his father is not in danger for the time being, the situation will definitely not be too good.

Needless to say, this must have been done by the third elder. Fortunately, his father Ling Zhan is only trapped in the dungeon now, and his life is not in danger.

It seems that the patriarch of the Ling family didn't lie to himself, he should have stepped forward to save his father's life.

Watching Ling Hantian sink into deep thought, Hua Ruoyuan said: "Young Master Ling, your father's situation may be tied to you alone. If Young Master Ling can achieve good results in the martial arts assessment, I am willing to come forward and let your father escape from the dungeon. suffering."

"Senior, are you willing to come forward?" Hearing Hua Ruoyuan's words, Ling Hantian suddenly raised his head, stared at Hua Ruoyuan, and his brain was thinking quickly.

It is definitely a simple matter for a strong person in the Houtian realm to come forward, and the entire Tianyan City will bow its head, and let father escape from the dungeon of the Ling family!

Thinking of this, Ling Hantian's eyes became hotter!
"By now, Ling Shaoxia should be able to see that behind Sima Nan is King Yan, and behind this old man is the current crown prince."

Hua Ruoyuan explained: "The king of Yan is powerful, and most of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty are the direct descendants of King Yan, and they even have the support of Ling Tianyang."

"You and Ling Tianyang are in the same boat, and this old man also knows that your goal is to defeat Ling Tianyang. If Ling Shaoxia can defeat Ling Tianyang, King Yan will lose a lot of help."

"Ling Tianyang's influence has reached the point where he can influence the prince?" Hearing Hua Ruoyuan's words, Ling Hantian could hardly believe that Ling Tianyang, who is less than twenty years old, has already reached such a level of influence.

Hua Ruoyuan shook his head and sighed: "If it's just Ling Tianyang, it's not so serious."

"The key is that there seems to be a mysterious strong man standing behind him, so this old man hopes that Ling Shaoxia can defeat Ling Tianyang in the Tianxuan Martial Academy, so that King Yan's influence in the Tianxuan Kingdom will definitely be severely affected."

"Senior, since there is such a strong person standing behind Ling Tianyang, why are you so confident in this subordinate?" Ling Hantian still didn't quite believe Hua Ruoyuan's intentions, so he couldn't help but probed.

"Hey," Hua Ruoyuan sighed, and said: "This old man can only do his best in his position. As for the destiny, it is not something that this old man can peek at."

Ling Hantian frowned. He had unintentionally been involved in the struggle for imperial power in the Profound Sky Kingdom.

Regardless of whether this is good or bad for him, as long as Hua Ruoyuan can fulfill his promise and rescue his father from the Ling family's prison, all of this will be worth it!
It was also at this time that the assessment of Tianxuanwu Academy had officially started.
