There were only two thousand ordinary soldiers guarding the prince, but Nangong Hongde sent two thousand well-trained people, who were almost among the ranks of killers, to kill him.
This was a bloody massacre, and none of the two thousand soldiers survived.
Fortunately, Taoist Lingxian took Nangong Ling to escape from the secret passage before the massacre began, thus avoiding a head-on conflict with Nangong Hongde.
Nangong Ling's poison was already deep, and curing him would not be possible overnight.
While getting along with Nangong Ling, Taoist Lingxian fell deeply in love with this child with perfect appearance and introverted personality. While helping him detoxify, he also taught him how to defend himself.
After Nangong Ling passed that chase, he knew that his father would definitely die, and he himself had no power, no strength, and was not even qualified to avenge his father.
If he wants to kill Nangong Hongde and regain the throne, he must make himself stronger and stronger.
So while his health was getting better, Nangong Ling worked hard and studied hard.
Taoist Lingxian was originally an extraordinary person with extremely high martial arts skills that could be said to be unmatched by anyone in the world. But because he did not like to come into contact with people and had no enemies, few people knew of his existence.
After the death of Nangong Hongren, Nangong Ling's transformation was seen by Taoist Lingxian. Because he had no children and had been in love for a long time, he naturally regarded Nangong Ling as his disciple and child, and devoted all his life's learning to it without reservation.
The land was handed over to Nangong Ling.
Nangong Ling was originally a martial arts prodigy, and with his talent and intelligence, his strength improved by leaps and bounds after his health improved.
At Taoist Lingxian, Nangong Ling not only learned martial arts that people in the outside world could never learn, but also learned various Bagua and formations.
Taoist Lingxian was originally nearly a hundred years old. Although his martial arts skills were extremely high, he was still a human being and not a god.
Realizing that his time was short, before his death, he used his internal power to open up Nangong Ling's seven tendons and eight meridians, and poured all his internal power into Nangong Ling's body.
When Nangong Ling was 18 years old, Taoist Lingxian passed away.
After burying Taoist Lingxian, Nangong Ling, who had risen from a weak young man to the world's top master, changed his name to Sheng Lingtian and returned to his hometown, Yong'an City, Kyoto of the Nanyang Dynasty.
The prince who was so popular four years ago no longer exists now. Sitting on the throne in the capital is his uncle, Nangong Hongde, who has just officially ascended the throne.
His father, on the other hand, entered the imperial mausoleum in an empty coffin on the pretext of disappearing, and was named the Merciful Emperor by his uncle.
His mother "committed suicide" the year she learned that his father was missing.
How could Nangong Ling not take revenge for killing his father and mother?
Now that he has top-level martial arts, he can ensure that he can enter and leave the palace at will without being captured.
But Nangong Ling didn't know that although his martial arts skills were surprisingly high, he had no actual combat experience at all.
Nangong Hongde got acquainted with an expert in poison and voodoo more than ten years ago. This person was the Miao tribe leader, Mu Yunqian and Mu Yunqi's father, Mu Jiangyu.
Mu Jiangyu is now Nangong Hongde's right-hand assistant and staff. Although he has not been promoted to an official position, he has a very high status in the palace. He can even tell fortunes. People in the palace range from the emperor's concubines to the maids.
The eunuchs all respected him very much.
Although Mu Jiangyu's martial arts is not as strong as Nangong Ling's, he has rich practical experience.
