The Against Heaven

Chapter 19: Asking for Help

The more the elders of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect stared at Li Han Tian, the more annoyed they became. Why would someone with a mortal physique, a mortal life wheel, and a mortal destiny palace like Li Han Tian be able to communicate with their Heavenly Guardians? The gods are so unfair!

If he was a disciple of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, then that would be an acceptable limit. However, he was from a different sect. Why would their Heavenly Guardians protect outsiders and harm their own sects?

Demon King Lun Ri started talking once again after a long pause: “With this, can you tell us about the technique you used to control the Heavenly Guardians?”

Li Han Tian hesitantly smiled: “Communication technique? I don't have any technique. These are your Heavenly Guardians, you should know more about them than I do. ”

Li Han Tian naturally could not tell them the secret behind the event. As a legend during the Era of Destruction, he paid with blood to formulate a successful plan to escape the Immortal Demon Cave. After millions of years, he finally understood this particular logic, if you want to control your own fate, you must personally possess great power.

Although he had considerable strength as a legend, it was not his own strength. Fortunately, after entering places no one else dared to explore, he discovered many mysterious and magical secrets. From then on, he formulated a plan for his personal cultivation if he returned to his body.

The Four Heavenly Guardians of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect were one of his secret preparations in the past for self-defense. That year, he found them in the Ancestral Earth after countless efforts. They protected him for countless years in the past.

The Nine Heavenly Saints had always wanted those four statues. He followed and begged Li Han Tian for them nonstop. As the Nine Saints made many major contributions as protectors of Min Ren's fate, often at the risk of his own life, Li Han Tian let them borrow it for his descendants.

After successfully making Li Han Tian give up, the Nine Heavenly Saints immediately placed them to protect the heaven and earth veins of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. At the same time, he allowed them to use the natural energy here to further strengthen themselves.

But both have a deal. Unless the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect was on the verge of sect destruction, the statues would never take action. They were not slaves or servants of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, and they would not be the fate protectors of any sect descendants.

Since the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect also had a monster like the Heaven Sect as its backer, its strength grew without much hindrance. Then, during the decline of the Heaven Sect, the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect became an independent existence, so as not to suffer together. Because of this, the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect had never faced a disaster where the statues had to be mobilized.

The statues were taken personally by Li Han Tian from the Old Bloody Country, so naturally he knew how to communicate with them. This was why when he took the time to support one of them, he spoke to them.

“If Young Master Li is willing to part with this technique, the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect will definitely not treat you badly. Whatever Young Master Li wants, just say it and we will help you to the best of our ability. ”

Demon King Lun Ri did not give up, he knew the true value of the Heavenly Guardians. The sect would become extremely powerful if the guards could be controlled.

All the elders eagerly waited for Li Han Tian's reply. If one statue was able to defeat the first elder, then what would be the combined strength of the four?

“You know, there really is no technique. I was just gossiping with the statues, just talking about things like home and life, that's it.” Li Han Tian replied in a pleasant manner with a timid expression, acting like an innocent child.

Of course, the Demon King and the elders did not believe Li Han Tian's answer, but they could do nothing about it. They definitely could not force Li Han Tian to give them the technique as they would bring about an unprecedented calamity.

Seeing the quiet contemplation of the King, Li Han Tian changed his attitude and coldly added: “However, I need to say one thing. I need to perform a blood ritual with four statues.”

Both the Demon King and the elders were shocked. It has a completely different meaning. Performing a blood ritual with their Heavenly Guardians was comparable to a linking technique.

Demon King Lun Ri honestly replied: “The four statues are our Heavenly Guardians.”

Li Han Tian casually played up his sleeves while replying: “They can still be your Heavenly Guardians. The only thing is, I might need to borrow it for certain things in the future, just for a little bit of use. ”

Li Han Tian glared at the elder and said: “It is not up to you, if you have a problem with it, then cry to your leader. ”

Due to the promise of that year, Li Han Tian had to be patient when dealing with the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. Otherwise, he would have taken the statues and left.

Demon King Lun Ri suddenly interjected to appease the elder and Li Han Tian: “Because Young Master Li can communicate with the guards, getting them up and into action is not a bad thing.”

In reality, everyone here knew that the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect had no choice in this matter. Even though the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect was strong, it was still slightly less when compared to the four statues. Remember, when four individuals work together in a formation, the increase in strength will not be additive, it will be multiplication.

If it was just one statue, then they would be able to handle it. However, with the four of them combined, especially when they were above the heaven and earth vein of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, the risk was too high.

“This is something that smart people will say.” Li Han Tian smiled and continued: “Do not think that I will immediately cause trouble for the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect after I perform the ritual with your Heavenly Guardians. If I wanted to, all of you wouldn't even have the chance to sit here. If I want to trample the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, no one can stop my deeds, even if your patriarch rises from his grave.

The elders were unhappy with Li Han Tian's attitude, but they were speechless. The juxtaposition between the angry faces of the elders and Li Han Tian's indifferent attitude was quite funny.

“Because this is the case, Young Master Li can continue the blood ritual.” Demon King Lun Ri agreed to Li Han Tian's request. Although he did not know why a human like Li Han Tian could control four statues, this was his only choice.

Li Han Tian replied: “If your sect follows the rules, so do I. The four statues will remain your Heavenly Guardians.”

After a moment of contemplation, Demon King Lun Ri started talking again: “Young Master Li! Our Nine Heavenly Gate Sect also has a holy land that no one can open. Are you interested in seeing it?”

“Your Highness, this is unlikely to happen!” An elder immediately tried to stop the King.

“It's okay for Young Master Li to see it.” Demon King Lun Ri quickly prevented the elder from saying more, his voice commanding did not allow for negotiations.

Li Han Tian's eyes turned bright as he asked: “Are you talking about the Sacred Cave left behind by your patriarch?”

He suddenly recalled an event from the past.

That year, the old chicken head had once mentioned this cave to Li Han Tian, but this was after Immortal Emperor Min Ren received the Will of Heaven. Li Han Tian's disposition was also unstable at that moment, so he wanted to enter a deep sleep. Even though he listened to the story of that clever old chicken head, he did not pay attention to it.

“That's right!” Li Han Tian's knowledge of this fact rattled the soul of Demon King Lun Ri. He quickly suggested: “If Young Master Li can open the Sacred Cave, we will thank you.”

Li Han Tian tried to recall what the old chicken head had told him in the past and confirmed: “I can try opening the Sacred Cave once. If I succeed, then I want to take one item from him, the rest can remain with your sect."

“This..” After hearing Li Han Tian's words, Demon King Lun Ri needed some time to think.

An elder spoke up: “Your Majesty, this requires careful discussion.”
