Chapter 103 - 103: Tianyu Token
Only Li Suifeng remained calm as he smiled at Li Lingtian. As he was confident, he was fearless.
Scared!
The Heavenly Dragon Palace was in an uproar. A young man actually scolded the Grand Tutor for living like a dog for decades. Was he trying to rebel?
“Li Suifeng, give me a reasonable explanation.”
Nangong Haoming couldn’t stand it anymore. In his own empire, he could let his people humiliate him, but he couldn’t blame Li Suifeng on the spot. The Li family had made great contributions, and countless generals in the army were disciples of the Li family.
” Your Majesty, Li Lingtian is a disciple of Sky Cloud Sect and also the heir of the Marquis of Pingbei Residence. He has returned to Tian Long Kingdom to participate in the competition. The patrol team was instructed by the Yang family to stop Li Lingtian. Everyone outside the city gate witnessed Yang Xin’s attempt to kill my son first.”
Li Suifeng took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Nangong Haoming. Then, he told Nangong Haoming what had happened outside the city gate.
He turned to Zhan Taiyan with a faint smile.
“Grand Tutor, you said my son looked down on the law, looked down on the ruler, and lost his manners. Where did you come from?”
“I would like to ask the Grand Tutor again, what crime should the Yang Family’s disciples who obstructed the Empire’s competition be punished with? What crime does my son have for defending himself?”
Li Suifeng glared at Zhan Taiyan. In the past few years, Zhan Taiyan had been ordered by the Yang family to target him. Now, he finally had the chance to question Zhan Taiyan.
“The patrol team is protecting Sky Dragon City and His Majesty. It’s only right that they attack Li Lingtian. Li Lingtian addressing me in the Imperial Court is an act of contempt for the Ruler and the law. It’s disrespectful.”
Zhan Taiyan said loudly with a smug look on his face. He had easily brushed aside the Yang family’s crimes and confirmed Li Lingtian’s crimes. He wanted to see how Li Suifeng would step down.
Even if His Majesty were to show mercy on behalf of Li Suifeng and Li Lingtian, he would still have to consider his own dignity. Marquis Pingbei’s Residence was doomed this time.
For a moment, the Heavenly Dragon Palace was extremely quiet. Every official had a conclusion in their hearts. It was likely that the Northern Marquis Residence had completely fallen this time.
” Li Lingtian, as the Crown Prince, is supposed to serve the country. However, he killed the Empire’s elite and looked down on the Ruler. Li Lingtian, do you know your crimes?”
Nangong Haoming looked at the situation in the main hall and felt troubled. The Marquis of Pingbei had made great contributions to the empire. For the sake of the Yang Family, he had transferred Li Suifeng back to the capital. He was already ashamed of the transfer of power. If he were to attack the Marquis of Pingbei now, it would be hard to avoid feeling bitter.
However, his position was also very awkward. Among the four great empires of Eastern Spirit Greenland, Sky Dragon Empire was the weakest. Moreover, Sky Dragon Empire was not a clan. In other words, this emperor was supported by a super sect and super clan in Sky Dragon Empire.
The Yang family had grown in power these few years and had gone beyond his control. He had no choice but to do many things. If he didn’t satisfy the Yang family, he would also be under pressure.
“Your Majesty, is self-defense a crime? The death of the patrol team is just their trash. I have the qualifications to be addressed as this young master in the imperial court.”
Li Lingtian shifted his gaze to Nangong Haoming. The moment he entered, he sized up the Emperor. He was a Tier Nine Martial King, which was similar to his father’s strength.
However, after being above Da Bao for a long time, there was an additional aura of a superior. This aura was the legendary aura of the True Dragon Son of Heaven. However, in front of his True Dragon Body Protection and the real dragon race, he was just a fake.
With that, he released his divine sense and shot a token towards Nangong Haoming. It was extremely fast and arrived in front of Nangong Haoming in an instant.
At this moment, a strange aura blocked the token. It floated in front of Nangong Haoming and could not move at all.
Li Lingtian was shocked. There was indeed a super expert. He did not see any real experts at the beginning but he had seen them on television in his past life. The emperor was always accompanied by experts.
Now that he tried, there was indeed a hidden expert, a real expert, and this expert was someone he had never seen before.
Everyone was puzzled as they looked curiously at the token in front of Nangong Haoming. They wondered what Li Lingtian was up to. Could it be that a token could shirk all responsibility?
Nangong Haoming’s eyes were fixed on Li Lingtian. He then grabbed the token with one hand and his calm expression changed drastically.
As the emperor of the empire, he could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed. Something that had not shocked people for many years had finally happened.
“Tianyu Token!”
Looking at the three words on the token in his hand, he was extremely shocked. As the Emperor of the Empire, he naturally knew a lot about the matters of the ten great families and the four great sects. Otherwise, his position as the Emperor would have ended.
The Tianyu Token was equivalent to the sect master of Sky Cloud Sect. Moreover, this status was very extraordinary. It did not have as much power as the sect master, but in some special cases, this status had already surpassed the sect master.
He just didn’t know why this Sky Universe Token would appear on this youth in front of him. Seeing the Sky Universe Token was like seeing the Sky Universe Pavilion Master.
The Emperor of Sky Dragon Empire had to be polite even when meeting the Sect Masters of the four sects. The Sky Pavilion Master was not someone the Emperor could provoke.
“You are the Sky Pavilion Master?”
Nangong Haoming could not be bothered to lose his composure as he probed Li Lingtian. When he asked this question, he felt that he was dumbfounded. He actually had to ask such an impossible question.
However, when he thought of Li Lingtian’s high-profile visit to Sky Dragon City, killing a Martial King with a single strike and addressing him as ‘Young Master’ in the imperial court, he could not help but think of the identity of the Heavenly Pavilion Master.
It was too heaven-defying for a sixteen-year-old youth to be the Sky Pavilion Master.
” I am the Sky Pavilion Master. Does Your Majesty think that this token is fake? H
Li Lingtian grabbed at the air with one hand and the token in Nangong Haoming’s hand returned to his hand. Even the strange aura did not stop him at all.
Nangong Haoming was well aware that the token would only ignore any restrictions if it was connected to the owner’s mind. Li Lingtian easily retrieved the token, which meant that it was his.
However, this identity plane was too exaggerated. It was the first time in the thousands of years of Sky Cloud Sect that someone had become the Sky Cloud Pavilion Master at the age of 16. This was the first time someone had become the Sky Cloud Pavilion Master after idling for thousands of years.
“Boom!”
At that moment, a shocking pressure erupted from the Heavenly Dragon Palace. The pressure was directed at Li Lingtian alone and the others did not notice it at all.
The pressure was so powerful that it felt like the heavens had descended. Li Lingtian was shocked to the core. The hidden master had indeed made a move to test the waters..
