The War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

161

At dawn the next day, Duan Ling Tian went to the Paladin Academy as usual. Everything seems so calm.

But Duan Ling Tian knew that all of this was just calm before the storm …

Currently, there was an unknown number of undercurrents flowing towards him in secret.

At noon, Duan Ling Tian ate in the cafeteria with Xiao Yu and the others as usual.

Suddenly, an upper class student walked quickly from afar and gave an invitation to Duan Ling Tian. "Duan Ling Tian, the Third Prince will be holding a banquet for the young talents of the Imperial City on his estate 10 days from now. This is the invitation he ordered me to give you." He did not wait for Duan Ling Tian to reply; he put down the invitation before turning around and leaving as soon as he finished speaking.

Third prince?

Duan Ling Tian opened the invitation, and on it were only a few courteous greetings.

The signature affixed was 'Chu Yang'.

Duan Ling Tian had heard before that within the Crimson Sky Kingdom Royal Family, the Chu surname was the most respected.

"Haha .. Duan Ling Tian, the Third Prince was known as a person who had a passion for talented individuals. Every one of the young talents invited by him was a dragon among men. This time he might like you." Xiao Xun laughed out loud.

Duan Ling Tian put away the invitation and curiously asked, "What kind of person is this Third Prince?"

The invitation was personally written by Third Prince Chu Yang, and its tone was very casual, containing no slight condescending tone, and it was more akin to treating Duan Ling Tian as an equal …

As far as Duan Ling Tian was concerned, this was extremely hard to come by.

"The Third Prince is famous in the Imperial City for being casual. He has one of the highest public votes among the crown princes …." Xiao Yu slowly said. "In recent years, his majesty, the Emperor has grown old with age and is constantly bedridden, and this is a good time for the Emperor's replacement …. All the crown princes, including the Third Prince, were secretly competing with each other! Duan Ling Tian, you should consider carefully before going to the Third Prince's banquet 10 days from now, because if you leave, you will be a thorn in the eyes of the other princes … "

"The fifth prince is among them! The fifth prince is one of the top candidates for the title of emperor, so if you side with the Third Prince, then even if the fifth prince knows that you are a direct descendant of the Duan Clan, then even if the fifth prince knows that you are a direct descendant of the Duan Clan , it is likely that he will still openly offend you. Your natural talent is too shocking, so she will probably see you as a potential threat and will kill you before you have a chance to grow. "Xiao Xun finished speaking in one breath.

In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian had to casually look for an excuse and not attend the banquet, as there were some things that should not be touched.

Because once they are touched, they will attract disaster for you.

Even the three great clans of the Imperial City would normally not allow their direct descendants to be dragged into disputes and fight for the title of emperor.

"Fifth Prince?" A trace of smile appeared in the corner of Duan Ling Tian's mouth and a sharp light flashed across his eyes. "I was just attending a banquet, and he had to kill me before I grew up just for doing that?"

“Duan Ling Tian, you can't really think of attending the banquet, right? You should think about this with ama.” Xiao Xu originally thought that Duan Ling Tian would accept his advice and not attend the banquet. But looking at Duan Ling Tian's intentions right now, it seemed like he was really planning to attend the banquet.

"Why don't I go? Isn't this just eating?" Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently.

Just eating? The corner of Xiao Xun's mouth twitched, and he stared at Xiao Yu stealthily.

But unfortunately, even when Xiao Yu tried, Duan Ling Tian simply brushed aside Xiao Yu's persuasion with a smile and paid no attention to it.

Throughout that afternoon, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged on top of a large tree beside the Martial Arts Training Field. He had consumed the Origin Enhancer Pill and was secretly cultivating …. As long as he had time to spare, he would practically dedicate everything to cultivation, because what he wanted to do now was to let his cultivation break through to the Origin Core Stage as quickly as possible!

Once he broke through to the Origin Core Stage, he would be able to become an eighth grade alchemist and refine an eighth grade Spirit Cleansing Pill, which would allow Xiong Quan's cultivation to recover back to the Prying Stage Void.

At that time, the difficulty he was facing right now would be resolved easily with the tip of a knife.

Unknowingly, the twilight fell to the ground.

Duan Ling Tian regained his senses before jumping off the huge tree and leaving the Paladin Academy with Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun.

“This train Divine Might Marquis Estate,” Xiao Xun's sharp gaze recognized the carriage parked in front of the gates of Paladin Academy. There were two other people riding the Ferghana Horse standing beside the carriage.

One of them was a middle-aged soldier in light armor, and beside him was a young man in casual clothes.

The young man was around 20 and he had the Paladin Academy Student Badge on his waist. When he saw Duan Ling Tian coming out of the Paladin Academy, he said something to the middle-aged soldier. "Dad, that purple-clothed youth is Duan Ling Tian."

Duan Ling Tian had just walked out of the front gate of the Paladin Academy when he saw the two people beside the carriage of the Divine Might Marquis Estate race their horses towards him.

After a while, the two of them got off the horse. The middle-aged soldier nodded to Duan Ling Tian before politely saying, "May I ask if you are Young Master Ling Tian?"

"You are?" Duan Ling Tian had a face full of questions, as he did not recognize this person.

"I am Pang Wu, Deputy General under the command of Grand General Nie. This is my son, Pang Rui. I came here today on the orders of the Grand General to invite Young Master Ling Tian to gather at the Mighty Divine Maright Estate, "Pang Wu said respectfully. He did not even have a trace of looking down on Duan Ling Tian for his young age.

"Is your Grand General talking about the current Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan?" Duan Ling Tian's brows were knitted as he asked curiously.

"Just right," Pang Wu hurriedly nodded.

Duan Ling Tian's heart jolted. Could it be that the Almighty might Marquis Nie Yuan know his true identity?

Then what is it?

Duan Ling Tian carried a trace of doubt as he bid farewell to Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu before boarding the Divine Might Marquis Estate carriage.

"Deputy General Pang Wu, do you know why the Divine Might Marquis wants to talk to me?" Duan Ling Tian opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Pang Wu, who was outside.

But unfortunately, even Pang Wu was unconscious, as he was only under orders to bring Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian had a different feeling when he once again arrived at the Divine Might Marquis Estate, because this time he had arrived at the Divine Might Marquis Estate with his original appearance.

Duan Ling Tian once again met Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan in the audience hall of the Divine Might Marquis Estate ….

"You ... You are the son of my brother Ru Feng, Duan Ling Tian?" Duan Ling Tian noticed that Nie Yuan was very excited when he saw her.

Duan Ling Tian's heart trembled as he thought of what Nie Yuan said. Could it be that this heavenly might Marquis Nie Yuan have an unusual relationship with his dead father?

“Greetings, Marquis.” Duan Ling Tian lightly nodded at Nie Yuan. This could be considered his way of bowing and paying respect.

Nie Yuan did not mind the slightest bit of respect for Duan Ling Tian. He quickly walked over to Duan Ling Tian, then he reached out his hand to grab Duan Ling Tian's shoulder and gave them a pat before bursting into laughter. "Ru Feng has a good son, Ru Feng has such a good son …."

Nie Yuan's laughter was filled with relief and there was not an ounce of falsehood.

Duan Ling Tian's heart felt warm. It looked like his dead-spirited father had quite a relationship with the Divine Might Marquis.

"Marquis, are you friends with my father?" Duan Ling Tian had a questioning expression.

"Come, sit. I'll tell you slowly." Nie Yuan guided Duan Ling Tian to sit with him at the side before telling Duan Ling Tian about his past with Duan Ru Feng with a face full of smiles. As Nie Yuan spoke, he had an extremely excited expression; he looked to be younger as he spoke.

Slowly, Duan Ling Tian reached an understanding. So his helpless father was good friends with Nie Yuan.

The two of them had entered the Paladin Academy as students in the same year and changed from being opponents to getting to know each other, then they ended up becoming best friends and brothers.

"If it wasn't for me going to war that year, I wouldn't have let you and your mother go to a faraway part. Now that we are talking about this matter, this matter is all my fault and I feel guilty for Big Brother Ru Feng, "said Nie Yuan guilty.

“Marquis, all of this has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to blame yourself.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a smile. He could sense how Nie Yuan really cared about him.

"Little Tian, you don't have to be polite in front of me …. When your father was still around, we called each other brothers, so in the future you could call me Uncle Nie," said Nie Yuan, with eyes that had a trace of doting on him.

“Uncle Nie.” Duan Ling Tian nodded with a smile, as he greatly admired Nie Yuan.

His helpless father had disappeared for many years, so the fact that Nie Yuan could still love him to such an extent was truly unbelievable.

"Dad, I heard Ling Tian has come?" Right at this moment, a young man slowly walked in from outside the audience hall. His voice was mixed with pleasant surprises.

It was precisely Nie Yuan's son, Nie Fen!

"Little Tian, this is my son, Nie Fen. Now that I've mentioned it, she even carried you when you were a baby" Nie Yuan introduced.

"As expected of Uncle Ru Feng's son and Aunt Rou, his appearance was handsome and outstanding, and he was a little similar to Uncle Ru Feng from those years." Nie Fen couldn't help but praise Duan Ling Tian when he saw her .

“Kakak Nie, you're too good.” Even with Duan Ling Tian's thick skin, he couldn't help but feel his face turn hot.

Nie Feng said, with a smile, "Little Tian, when father heard the news about you yesterday, he still did not dare to believe it. Once confirmed, he sent Uncle Pang to take you right away."

He could not help but sigh in shock at what Duan Ling Tian did at the Paladin Academy yesterday, a young man at the age of 18 had a cultivation that had actually stepped into the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage!

As for the matter of Duan Ling Tian killing Duan Ling Xing, he did not pay much attention to it, because Duan Ling Xing was nothing in his opinion.

“Ru Feng would definitely be very grateful if he knew he had a son like you.” Nie Yuan, the dignified and imposing Grand General fully revealed the hospitality of an elder in front of Duan Ling Tian.

"I can hear your voice from a distance …. Is this Ru Feng's son?" Suddenly, an old figure walked into the audience hall from outside.

Duan Ling Tian glanced over to see that the person who entered was precisely the Senior Marquis.

Senior Marquis was stunned when his gaze landed on Duan Ling Tian. "You… . "

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Duan Ling Tian's mouth, as he knew that the old man recognized him…. More precisely, the old man admitted that he was precisely Ling Tian who refined poison healing medicinal pills the other day!

Although the old man's Origin Energy was suppressed by the Dark Nether Mink's poison, his Void Prying Stage's Spiritual Sense was still inside him, and by relying on his acute senses, it was still within him, he was naturally able to distinguish his aura to be exactly the same as Ling Tian from the other day.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Nie Yuan had a face full of questions when he saw the old man's expression.
