Miracle Throne Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Family's internal battle

The Departing Flame Marquis was a first grade military marquis and normally led the troops out of the country.  If nothing big happened, then he wouldn't easily return to Imperial City. Something important was happening today, this was not an ordinary royal banquet.  Actually many people noticed that there was a stage in front of the royal palace that seemed to be a ceremonial stage for giving out rewards, but they didn't know what use it had.

The Departing Flame soldiers went to go sit down.

The other people followed them to their own places.

The Departing Flame Marquis looked over at Chu Tian with his falcon eyes and his gaze fell onto Nangong Yun.  His eyes turned cold as he coldly said, "Nangong Yun, you are a junior of the Nangong Family, but you're standing behind someone from a small family.  You don't greet this marquis and you didn't kneel to the ruler, you really have disregarded yourself as a member of the Nangong Family."

With these words.

Everyone's attention was drawn over.

During this boring waiting process, it was good there was an interesting play to watch.

The Southern Summer King's eyes slightly flashed a few times, but his expression did not change as if he did not intend to interfere.

Nangong Yun's expression was a bit ugly.  This was the respected marquis of her family and the Burning Sun Marquis that ruled over the Nangong Family, it could be imagined the pressure Nangong Yun felt facing them.

"Greetings to the Departing Flame Marquis!"  Nangong Yun was not a weak person and bravely came forward, "Greetings to the ruler!"

The Southern Summer King deliberately put on an act and said, "Yi, Burning Sun Ruler, the Nangong Family has such an outstanding junior, why hasn't this king seen her before?"

"Nangong Yun has been outside all year round, so it is normal for your majesty to not have seen her."  The Burning Sun Ruler's aura was like a lion's, pressing down on Nangong Yun, "It's not too late to return now, don't make another mistake.  The family has recognized your potential and this ruler guarantees that as long as you come back, we won't make it hard for you!"

The Burning Sun Ruler deeply understood the importance of Nangong Yun.

This junior that hadn't entered the Nangong Family's eyes actually became a high level member of Miracle Commerce.  If they could control Nangong Yun, then the Nangong Family would be able to take a large piece of meat out of Miracle Commerce.

"I have a good situation in Miracle Commerce, so I'm not planning to head back temporarily."  Nangong Yun really was Nangong Yun. Even to the Burning Sun Ruler with his high status, she still dared to say these words, "I ask the ruler to be assured.  Nangong Yun will always be a descendant of the phoenix, this point will never change even in death!"

The Burning Sun Ruler knit his brows.

"What a joke!"  The Departing Flame Marquis said with a cold laugh, "Do you think you are negotiating?  The things you have done after leaving the Nangong Family, they have all severely gone against the family laws.  If you don't return to the family and accept your punishment, this marquis will personally cripple you and restore our family's name!"

Humph, such an arrogant fellow!

With your grandfather Chu Tian present, you dare threaten my people.  If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how powerful I, Chu Tian am.

Chu Tian looked over at Gu Qianqiu's group.

"The Departing Flame Marquis is filled with prestige!"  An old man from the crowd holding a long cane walked out.  It was no one else but the great scholar, Gu Qianqiu. Gu Qianqiu even dared scold the Calm Martial Ruler, not to mention a trivial Departing Flame Marquis.  It was not appropriate for Chu Tian to do anything, so it was best for him to speak, "His majesty and the Burning Sun Ruler have not mentioned any punishments and you immediately speak of wasting Nangong Yun, what qualifications do you have?  Or, are you afraid of something?"

The Burning Sun Ruler coldly looked at him, "The matters of the Nangong Family, doesn't the great scholar feel you are meddling too much?"

"Family matters?  Is this really just family matters?"  Gu Qianqiu said with a smile, "This matter is not just your family matters, but rather country matters or even world matters.  This old man cannot turn a blind eye to this matter."

The Burning Sun Ruler's face turned dark.

This old mouth can really speak nonsense, he can take everything to another level!  What kind of bullshit country matters is this!

Gu Qianqiu spoke with a righteous tone, "Nangong Yun is a talent of the Southern Summer Country and her talent is rare in our country, but because of the Burning Sun Ruler's selfishness and the Departing Flame Marquis' dirty plans, she was sent away from Imperial City for over ten years.  I want to ask everyone, how many decades does a talent have? Her golden years have been ruined by these fellows! Isn't this a heavy sadness and loss for the Southern Summer Country?"

This was not Gu Qianqiu's first time saying this, but he was saying it in front of the Southern Summer King and even the Burning Sun Ruler this time.  This was directly slapping the Nangong Family's face and the Burning Sun Ruler's face. Looking at him, the Burning Sun Ruler's face had turned even darker.

It didn't matter if other said it, but it had a different meaning if it came from the great scholar's mouth.  With the great scholar's influence, reprimanding the Burning Sun Ruler and the Departing Flame Marquis like this, it would quickly spread across the nation and would be a giant slap to the Nangong Family's face.

Skeletons must be kept in the closet.

This matter indeed had to be hidden!

"This old man has always been puzzled."  Zhao Pu stood forward with his blade, "Nangong Yun has an extremely rare God Level Source Spirit and would be given focused training even in a large kingdom.  For the Nangong Family to treat her like a weakling, does the Nangong Family have another God Level Source Spirit owner among their talents?"

"Wrong!"  Another scholar came out, "From what this old man knows, Nangong Yun was a member of the Blazing Flame Marquis branch.  After the Blazing Flame Marquis died, before his soul passed on and his bones turned cold, his influence was cut off and many people with infinite potential were sent into exile.  Could the Burning Sun Ruler not know about this? Not only did the Burning Sun Ruler know everything, he even silently agreed to it all!"

"This method of acting is bringing dishonour to the heroic spirits of the Blazing Flame Army!"

"The Nangong Family's procedures are not fair!"

Immediately a group of people began to shout out.

The Burning Sun Ruler's rage almost exploded his chest.  If these damn mad dogs bit him, he couldn't not bite back, right?  Facing slapping was their weapon, so he could not defeat them. Not speaking right now was fine because they would grasp his flaws once he did and then viciously attack him for it!

The Departing Flame Marquis angrily said, "You things, daring to defame the ruler!"

"Right and wrong will be in the hearts of the people!"  Gu Qianqiu loudly said, "Nangong Yun is not the Burning Sun Ruler's direct descendant, so the Burning Sun Ruler chose to push her away.  A biased heart is something everyone knows, or is there something wrong with what we said?"

Zhao Pu added, "You have destroyed ten years of Nangong Yun's life, do you also want to destroy the rest of her life?"

Chu Tian was secretly pleased.

Not bad, not bad.

These old men had quite the battle strength, Chu Tian had not trusted them in vain.  These scholars were known as the Mad Dog Party in Imperial City. Whether it was debates or talking over problems, they were all skilled.

The Nangong Family knew how powerful the Mad Dog Party was, so they kept their mouths shut.  They did not dare speak even when filled with anger, lest their words be used against them!

The Meng sisters were very surprised.

The Nangong Family was too useless.

Chu Tian who was the hardest to deal with hadn't even spoken yet and these old men had beaten them to the point where they couldn't fight back.  This result was a bit disappointing!

The Burning Sun Ruler could no longer sit still and said with a dark face, "One's Source Spirit does not determine one's talent, only innate talent will determine how strong one is.  Your distorting the facts is too obvious."

The scholars were about to counterattack.

"Nangong Yun is a member of Miracle Commerce, so no matter what the Burning Sun Ruler says today, we will not give Nangong Yun over."  A calm voice sounded out as Chu Tian walked out of the crowd, "If the Burning Sun Ruler feels that the great scholar's words are biased, then I have a method to solve this."

The Departing Flame Marquis was a bit surprised.

This person was that famous Chu Tian!

Chu Tian did not use any sharp worded arguments because he felt that these arguments had no use.  The angrier the Nangong Family was, the more trouble there would be. Attacking the Nangong Family's foundations was the best way to solve this.  So, Chu Tian looked over at Nangong Yun.

"I feel Miracle Commerce is more suited to my cultivation, but the ruler wishes for me to return to the family.  It is hard to choose between these two options, so let's use strength to decide!" Nangong Yun's hammer fell to the ground and Nangong Yun pointed a finger at Nangong Jian, "You, do you dare accept my challenge?"

The Burning Sun Ruler and the Departing Flame Marquis were both stunned.

Challenge?  What did Nangong Yun want?

"Nangong Jian is one of the outstanding successors of the Nangong Family.  If I can defeat him, it will prove my improvement in Miracle Commerce and I will stay at Miracle Commerce."

The Departing Flame Marquis asked in a deep voice, "If you lose?"

"If I lose, I will return all my Miracle Commerce stocks and return to the Nangong Family.  You can do as you wish!"

The Nangong Family members' faces sunk.

This meant that regardless of who won or lost, you should all stop thinking of Miracle Commerce!

The Southern Summer King saw this and immediately mediated, "Today is a special day, does everyone need to be this excited?  How about you give this king some face and let this matter end here?"

The Refined Ruler said, "If two juniors fight, with us here, nothing will happen.  What is there to consider, my king?"

"Humph, you want to challenge me?"  The Departing Flame Marquis did not even get to speak before Nangong Jian came forward, "This battle is not only related to the Nangong Family's honour, it is also related to my honour.  I ask your majesty to give me this chance!"

Nangong Jian's eyes were filled with disdain.

The two of them were around the same age, but Nangong Yun was just a servant in Nangong Jian's eyes.  He bullied her when she was young, but when Nangong Yun was found to have outstanding innate talent that outshined all the other talents, Nangong Jian went wild with envy.

Why did a branch family member have such a strong bloodline?

This was simply an unacceptable matter!

It was a good thing that Nangong Yun was sent to a small city with her father.

After ten years, Nangong Jian was True Soul expert in the 7th Awakened Soul Layer.  He was not inferior to Dongfang Haoran and Wang Tianlong, but all he lacked was time.

Nangong Jian was less than twenty years old!

Dongfang Haoran was already twenty seven.

Wang Tianlong was thirty one!

Because of this, if Nangong Jian was give enough time, he was sure he would catch up to the two prides of Imperial City.  In Nangong Jian's eyes, Dongfang Haoran and Wang Tianlong weren't qualified to be his match, then what about Nangong Yun? She was only suited to being stepped on by him!

But speaking of this, in ten years, that ugly duckling of the past had actually turned into a nation collapsing beauty.  If Nangong Yun was crippled and she was given to his personal use, that would be pretty good!

This woman's bloodline was not bad.

If she gave birth to a child, it shouldn't be inferior at all!

Nangong Yun felt Nangong Jian's eyes filled with obscenities and her heart was filled with rage.  She had been bullied by this fellow ten years ago, but ten years later, she could now personally take all of that back.

With the Burning Sun Ruler and the Departing Flame Marquis' cultivation, they could clearly see through her.

Nangong Yun was not weak, already reaching the 6th Awakened Soul Layer.

This person had the Fire Phoenix Source Spirit and in normal situations, she could fight higher levels.  However, Nangong Jian was in the 7th Awakened Soul Layer, which wasn't just a single level, but rather the difference between the Awakened Soul intermediate stage and the Awakened Soul upper stage.  Was this gap easy to surmount?

Not to mention.

Nangong Yun only cultivated the family's inherited cultivation technique, so she didn't know many martial arts.  Nangong Jian was a direct descendant successor, so naturally he received focus training. Large amounts of resources was poured into him for him to reach a high level in the cultivation technique, so it was impossible for him to lose.  So, they agreed to the showdown.

The Departing Flame Marquis softly said, "Don't waste time, I'll give you five moves to end the fight."

Nangong Jian cupped his hands to his father, "Yes!"  In front of the Southern Summer King, the Three Rulers, and various peak characters, this was a good chance to show off.  If he could show off his strength, perhaps the two prides of Imperial City would become the three prides!

"Did you hear it?  The other side is saying they'll defeat you in five moves!"  Chu Tian said to Nangong Yun, "So, you should move quickly!"

"Relax!"  Nangong Yun gave a laugh, "For this type of trash, a single move will be enough!"
