Chapter 105: King Yanxuan's Step-by-Step Pressure
Above the Jingku Valley, Huangli and Huangdao Zong had already left in disgrace.
But the Nianling Sect is still waiting.
Because the Grand Elder Xiao Ling was invited into the warship by King Yan Xuan, and it seemed that he had something important to discuss...
Zhu Ling stood at the bow, looking at the ship without any movement. There were warships guarded by the elite Black Flame Army around, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.
I don't know what King Yan Xuan is going to do.
Behind him, all the disciples and elders had happy expressions on their faces. The Nianling Sect was very proud of itself this time, and it could be said that it had severely suppressed the arrogance of the Huangdao Sect. This matter would spread soon, and the entire Riyan Dynasty would surely be in an uproar!
As for them, although they did not participate in the battle, they also benefited from it. Soon, everyone will know that Nian Lingzong has stood up again!
Just when Zhu Ling was full of thoughts...
Inside the warship.
The interior decoration of the cabin is also quite iron-blooded. There are not many decorations around, but they are all black iron in color, solemn and dignified. The space inside the cabin is also very large, and there are twelve Black Flame Army guards stationed around.
Xiao Ling just stood there, staring at King Yan Xuan.
He had never met King Yan Xuan before.
Because of lack of strength, naturally there is no qualification.
But when I saw him today, I knew that he lived up to his name.
Everyone says that King Yan Xuan is brave and good at fighting, and he loves war. His own cultivation has reached the sixth level of tribulation, but he is also proficient in military formations and is extremely good at deploying troops. He sits in the center of the military formation and, as the commander-in-chief, mobilizes the blood and energy of the army!
Standing here, Xiao Ling felt the invisible pressure moving around him.
Such majesty!
King Yan Xuan was sitting upright on the dragon throne at this time, his eyes slightly closed, his demeanor calm and steady, with a murderous aura that seemed as if it would burst out at any time and destroy everything in sight.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his sight fell on Xiao Ling at the bottom of the stairs, and he chuckled, "Elder Xiao Ling, today's battle has broadened my horizons."
Xiao Ling cupped his hands and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, you are too kind."
In his heart, he was secretly alert.
King Yan Xuan obviously had something else to say, but he just started with a few useless polite remarks. His intention was really obvious.
"Accept the order."
King Yanxuan took out the golden scroll of imperial edict written by Emperor Riyan himself and threw it to Xiao Ling. However, Xiao Ling did not expect that King Yanxuan would just throw the imperial edict written by Emperor Riyan to him so perfunctorily. Xiao Ling was so frightened that he hurried forward and caught it.
How could he dare to neglect it? He immediately half-knelt in front of King Yanxuan, holding up the golden scroll of the imperial edict, bowed his head respectfully and said, "I respectfully listen to the imperial edict!"
Looking at Xiao Ling kneeling in front of him, King Yanxuan had a faint smile on his face.
But the smile soon disappeared.
Because the person Xiao Ling was kneeling to was not King Yan Xuan.
But it was the golden scroll of imperial edict in Xiao Ling's hand.
The reason why I kneel down to it is because it was written by Emperor Ri Yan himself.
Just because it was written by Emperor Sun Yan himself...
So a mere scroll of calligraphy is worthy of being treated with such respect!
The emotions in King Yanxuan's eyes changed drastically.
Xiao Ling lowered his head and slowly opened the imperial edict.
The handwriting of Emperor Ri Yan is vigorous and powerful, revealing a strong momentum. It contains the imperial seal of Emperor Ri Yan and the true meaning of Emperor Ri Yan's calligraphy.
The content of the imperial edict was nothing more than congratulations to Xiao Ling for advancing into the Tribulation, the Sun Flame Dynasty had gained another powerful person, and the Sun Flame Emperor had gained another fierce general...
Those are just polite words.Of course, the people of the sect don't like to hear these words.
But the Nianling Sect is, after all, still a vassal of the Riyan Dynasty. If they disobey the Holy Order, their only end will be death.
"Xiao Ling understands. Your Majesty's expectations, I, Nian Lingzong, will not let you down."
Xiao Ling put the golden scroll into his arms and bowed.
"Well, my brother heard your attitude and he knows what's going on."
King Yan Xuan said indifferently, and then changed the subject: "But I didn't ask you to come here for this."
Xiao Ling was stunned.
Then, King Yan Xuan continued, "Xiao Ling, two hundred years ago, he was the leader of the Nianling Sect. He fought with the leader of the Huangdao Sect, Huangli, in Jingku Valley and was defeated. The sword energy entered his body and he was seriously injured."
"You immediately abdicated, and the position of sect leader was handed over to the great elder Zhu Ling. Then news of your death spread in the Nianling Sect due to your serious injuries."
"Because of your failure, the Nianling Sect also began to be suppressed and eroded by the Huangdao Sect. In the past two hundred years, many cities, chambers of commerce, and noble families that paid tribute to you were robbed..."
King Yanxuan's voice was so calm, but Xiao Ling was sweating unknowingly on his back.
It seems that the iron-blooded atmosphere in the cabin is getting heavier!
But King Yan Xuan did not stop, he continued: "The world thought you were dead, but you were just hiding in the underground palace deep in the mountain gate, ready to break through the tribulation period at any time, waiting to make a comeback."
"You have attempted to transcend the tribulation four times, and failed four times, so you can only watch the Nianling Sect decline step by step until that wild force breaks through the tribulation."
"He rushed to the gate of Nianling Sect to kill you, but you had no choice but to step forward and swear to him that you would 'break through the tribulation in four days and fight again here'... and you succeeded."
King Yan Xuan's speech speed was not fast, it could even be said to be very slow, but every word struck Xiao Ling's heart like a deafening sound!
Sweat broke out on Xiao Ling's forehead.
He never expected that he had "faked his death" and hidden away, and thought he had fooled everyone.
But King Yan Xuan knew it so thoroughly!
King Yan Xuan even knew how many times he had attempted to transcend the tribulation!
King Yan Xuan seemed not to notice the expression on Xiao Ling's face, and continued: "For two hundred years, you have made every effort to prepare for the tribulation, but you have never succeeded once."
"But when Huang Li came to destroy your Nianling Sect, you advanced to the level of transcending tribulation within four days."
"This matter is worthy of my in-depth study."
King Yan Xuan smiled at this time, but that smile made Xiao Ling feel like he was falling into an ice cellar!
That is the smile that a hunter would show when he sees his prey falling into his trap and having no power to resist.
"I..."
Xiao Ling swallowed hard, but didn't know how to explain.
Because there is no way to explain it.
He was able to advance and overcome the tribulation entirely because of the Qianlong Pill given to him by Master Gu, and he was also able to defeat Huang Li with the help of the Qianlong Pill.
If it weren't for this elixir, the "True Meaning of the Wild Sword" that Huang Li displayed could easily kill him!
But this kind of thing is not something that can be spread to the outside world.
Even letting irrelevant people know will cause uncontrollable consequences!
"And the 'Ancient Dragon Physique' you just displayed, I am sure that it is the effect of the eighth-grade elixir 'Qianlong Pill', but the highest elixir in your Nianling Sect's medicine storehouse is only the sixth-grade elixir, so the Qianlong Pill was given to you by someone else..."
King Yanxuan moved his body slightly, leaned forward a little, and looked down at Xiao Ling from a high position: "If my guess is correct, that person should be... the owner of the Gu Clinic in the south of Yunling City?"
Xiao Ling's pupils suddenly shrank!
Finished!
Everything is exposed...
