The Sovereign of the Nine Realms

Chapter 185 The Collapsed Situation

Chapter 185 The Collapsed Situation

In the East Palace of Tianxuan Kingdom, Prince Chu Hao was dressed in a plain robe, linen and filial piety, with his head bowed, pacing back and forth. Apart from the sound of messy footsteps, the entire hall was as silent as death!
"Dengdeng..."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the crown prince suddenly raised his head to look at the entrance of the main hall, his eyes shone with hope, and he asked hastily, "Teacher, what did Wen Xiangquan say?"

Hua Ruoyuan's face turned bitter, and he said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Imperial Army can't be counted on. The commander, Wen Xiangquan, has already taken refuge in King Yan."

Speaking of this, Hua Ruoyuan flicked his sleeves, and said extremely angrily: "If it is not for the old man who still has some strength, I am afraid that Commander Wen will leave the old man tonight as a gift for him to surrender to the King of Yan."

"What?" The crown prince didn't expect that Wen Xiangquan would be so bold that he wanted to keep the grand tutor, so he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Could it be that there is no one in the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty to support me?"

Seeing Chu Hao's dejected expression, Hua Ruoyuan sighed, and said slowly: "Since you lost the management authority of the Treasure Pavilion of the Imperial Palace for more than a month, the East Palace has been unable to make ends meet, and many officials from our camp either defected or Choose neutral."

"These goddamn white-eyed wolves, ungrateful things!" Chu Hao gritted his teeth and kicked away the incense burner in front of him.

This was the first time Chu Hao lost his composure in front of the Taifu.

But at this time, Hua Ruoyuan didn't want to remind the prince to pay attention to the image of the king, and maybe it was no longer necessary.

Without the support of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, King Yan will launch a coup soon, and maybe it will be the end of the day.

Why not let the prince vent his anger!
Over the years, the prince has shouldered too many burdens, dealing with King Yan who is far stronger than him, the prince is already too tired.

Maybe everything will end after dawn!

But thinking of the crown prince's hard work over the years, Hua Ruoyuan felt very unwilling for the crown prince, so he asked tentatively.

"Your Highness, can you communicate with the person deep in the palace again?"

Chu Hao smiled dejectedly, shook his head and said: "Master Heiman has made it very clear that it will not participate in my fight with King Yan. It has fulfilled its promise, and it may choose to leave soon!"

Hearing this, the last bit of hope in Hua Ruoyuan's eyes was also shattered!
"Report... [-] urgent military situation!"

At this moment, hurried and flustered footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall!
"Say!"

"King Yan's million-strong army has already marched to Tianxuan City for a hundred miles, and set up camp, and nothing happened."

Hearing this, Prince Chu Hao's body froze, his eyes became dull, and his eyes became hollow!
"Hey,"

Hua Ruoyuan let out a long sigh, a million troops, King Yan is going to kill them all!

Facing an army of millions, even he would have to fall, unless he was a strong man in the innate realm to reverse the situation!
The corner of Hua Ruoyuan's mouth was bitter, and he said: "If Ling Shaoxia is still alive, and that puppet is added, even if the situation cannot be reversed, after the state funeral ceremony, you can escape from Tianxuan City, Your Highness."

"Ling Hantian?"

Chu Hao was awakened by these three words, thinking of all the miracles created by Ling Hantian, if he was still alive, maybe he would really have the hope of surviving as the Taifu said.

But Ling Hantian had already fallen, and even disappeared with that powerful monster puppet.

He can only accept the arrangement of fate.

Chu Hao looked up to the sky and sighed: "God is so unfair, if Brother Ling can be given a little more time, maybe everything will be different!"

Chu Hao's words seemed to be complaining for Ling Hantian, so it was not a reflection of his state of mind at this time.

Looking at Chu Hao's dejected figure, Hua Ruoyuan shook his head. Up to now, he still can't believe the statement given by Tianxuanwu Academy.

What reason did Ling Hantian have to intercept and kill the special envoy of Tianxuan?

But he couldn't find out the truth, Ling Hantian seemed to have evaporated from the world.

At this time, the entire East Palace was gloomy, and many servants were secretly packing their things, ready to escape at any time.

A look of despair gradually appeared on Prince Chu Hao's face, and he murmured, "Teacher, are you ready for tomorrow's state funeral?"

Looking at the prince's bleak back, Hua Ruoyuan opened his mouth, unable to say many dissuading words, and finally responded, "Everything is ready."

Hearing this, Prince Chu Hao didn't continue to speak, but sighed heavily from time to time!

It is lamenting the injustice of fate, and lamenting my own incompetence.

For a while, the hall became deathly silent, filled with the mood of doomsday.

At this moment, Hua Ruoyuan's sound transmission stone suddenly lit up.

Prince Chu Hao was already disheartened, and no longer cared about who was sending Hua Ruoyuan's sound transmission at this time. He half-lyed on the Lihuamu Grand Master's chair, his soul was lost, and his eyes were a little loose.

Hua Ruoyuan took out the sound transmission stone, opened it and saw that it was the sound transmission from Hua Ruolei of Tianxuanwu Academy.

"Wei Zhongquan will attend tomorrow's state funeral!"

Those short words were like a heavy boulder pressing down on Hua Ruoyuan's heart, breaking the last trace of luck remaining in his heart.

Hua Ruoyuan raised his head and looked in the direction of the altar, a flash of determination flashed across his old face.

Although a thousand dead soldiers in the East Palace can't change anything, but he is not willing to waste his life's hard work in vain!

The prince can't die in vain, he wants King Yan to pay the price!
In an instant, Hua Ruoyuan's originally old face was full of twilight, and his body became more and more stooped, but there was a rare extreme murderous intent in his eyes.

"Ding!"

At this moment, the sound transmission stone in Hua Ruoyuan's hand lit up again!

"Perhaps another piece of bad news."

Hua Ruoyuan smiled miserably, and while talking to himself, he turned over the sound transmission stone in despondency.

But when Hua Ruoyuan saw the message on the sound transmission stone clearly, his big withered hands trembled violently, and his cloudy old eyes burst out with incredible brilliance.

"Heaven, it's Ling Hantian!"

Hua Ruoyuan seemed to be ten years younger all of a sudden, his face was flushed, his body trembling, he ran towards the crown prince Chu Hao in three steps at a time, shouting loudly while running.

"His Highness, Your Highness,"

Hua Ruoyuan grabbed the prince's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Your Highness, it's Ling Hantian, it's Ling Hantian, he's not dead, he's still alive, he's still alive"

Chu Hao had a dazed face at first, but when he heard the word Ling Hantian again, he suddenly raised his head, grabbed Hua Ruoyuan's arm, and shouted excitedly.

"What? Ling Hantian is not dead? He is still alive? Where is he? Where is he?"

Chu Hao was already disheartened, but when he heard the word Ling Hantian, it was like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please calm down first."

Hua Ruoyuan forcibly suppressed his violent heartbeat, calmed down, and said: "Young man Ling is back, he doesn't want to reveal his whereabouts for the time being, Your Highness, please wait for a moment, this old man will go and lead Young man Ling into the palace."

"Okay, okay, okay, Taifu, go and come back quickly!"

Chu Hao stood up excitedly, urging Hua Ruoyuan to pick up Ling Hantian quickly.

He wants to see Ling Hantian right away!

This is his only hope!
Ling Hantian used the Thousand Illusion Exquisite Technique to change his appearance. If he hadn't actively exposed himself to Hua Ruoyuan's induction, Hua Ruoyuan would never have been able to find him!
However, Ling Hantian had already told Hua Ruoyuan his location through sound transmission, and the two quickly met.

After not seeing each other for a month, Ling Hantian jumped from the third level of body refinement to the fifth level of body refinement perfection. Hua Ruoyuan was terrified by this terrifying speed of cultivation, and it was hard to understand how Ling Hantian cultivated.

But what shocked Hua Ruoyuan the most was the aura unintentionally emanating from Ling Hantian's body, which was as vast as the ocean, making Hua Ruoyuan feel extremely dangerous.

Today's Ling Hantian, Hua Ruoyuan doesn't regard the former as a junior at all.

Hua Ruoyuan even had an intuition that Ling Hantian's return this time would reverse the current collapsed situation.

The two didn't have much conversation and went directly to the palace.

Just like entering the Tianxuan Palace last time, this time I also took the underground passage and came straight to the East Palace!

Prince Chu Hao had been waiting at the side long ago, personally welcoming Ling Hantian's return.
