The Against Heaven

Chapter 24: Return to the Sect

If this matter were revealed, it would be an act of treason against the Heaven sect. Only a madman or a fool would do such a thing. Protector Mo felt he belonged to one of those two groups. However, his intuition told him that in the future, this brat would have unlimited potential if they followed this thirteen-year-old boy. In the end, however, this is based on intuition alone.

Nan Huairen's heart was also shocked. This was a very important choice, and his master had chosen his destiny. Nan Huairen knows what the answer is: “Only with one word from senior, and I will jump over fire and water without hesitation!”

Nan Huairen said very seriously after taking a deep breath.

Previously, when he called Li Han Tian “senior sister”, it had a different meaning. That was because it was part of the sect's customs. Now, the word “senior” has a different meaning.

A thirteen-year-old child was about to turn around the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, he dared to underestimate the Elders who were crowned Royal Nobles, and he was able to speak calmly in front of the Demon King! Others might think Li Han Tian was too arrogant, or he did not know his own strength, yet it was because they did not see him traverse the Heart Chaos Forest and kill Protector Hua and his disciple. Nan Huairen understood that the thoughts of others about Li Han Tian were simply not true.

Li Han Tian, as the Heaven Sect Master Disciple, dared to kill a Protector and asked the daughter of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect to become his servant. He had already planned everything before stepping into the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, knowing that he could come out unscathed.

Nan Huairen was extremely intelligent, and he thought about it carefully. Even if he tried his hardest throughout his life, his peak would be to become an Elder for the Heaven Sect. Perhaps Li Han Tian's appearance would change his destiny.

Seeing the two join his ranks, Li Han Tian nodded his head and said: “One day, you two will understand how wise the decision you have made today.”

“What should we report when we return to sect?” Protector Mo asked carefully. The events related to the trial and marriage were too important, he did not know what to say.

Li Han Tian smiled at Protector Mo and replied: “If Elder Yun wants to talk to you, then in my opinion, you should do the following ..”

What Li Han Tian told him to do made Protector Mo feel uncomfortable. Before their departure, the First Elder of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect had met him and requested that the story about the Heavenly Guardians be kept secret. At that time, Protector Mo had yet to agree to the request.

“I understand.” Protector Mo knew what he should and shouldn't say as long as the rhetoric chosen benefited both himself and Li Han Tian.

Finally, the three of them left the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. Great Protector Yu He personally went to meet them. Lately, no one from the Heaven Sect has ever received such an honor.

The gate was opened, and the portal between the Heaven Sect and the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect was activated. Finally, the group with the three people had returned to the sect. After leaving the temple, they took a deep breath and enjoyed the heavenly spirit of the Heaven Sect, they thought of the events that had happened and felt like they had just woken up from a dream.

****************

Returning to the Heaven Sect, as the person leading the way for the trial between the two sects, Protector Mo immediately went to meet the Six Elders to give his report. Li Han Tian returned to the top of his mountain residence.

Li Han Tian stood quietly above his peak, facing the entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He remembered when Immortal Emperor Min Ren was alive, the area of the sect spanned a million miles, and its subtle energy was as vast as an ocean.

Now, not only was the area governed by the Heaven Sect reduced, but its subtle energy from the surroundings slowly dried up. Anyone who stood on this ground would feel that the world essence of the sect had become extremely thin.

Today, the Heaven Sect was like a candle twinkling about to die in the wind or resembled an old man who could meet his end at any moment.

Li Han Tian sighed in his heart. He did not choose the Heaven Protective City or the War God Temple, not even the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. He finally chose the declining Heaven Sect.

As mentioned above, he disliked the previous Sect Master of the Heaven Sect. That year, he hoped Immortal Emperor Min Ren would choose a different disciple to become the next Sect Master, even when the talent of this disciple was not as strong as the first disciple. Li Han Tian really appreciated him because of his character. Unfortunately, after he woke up from his cultivation, he discovered that his first disciple had become the new Sect Master and declared the sect an ancient orthodox sect.

However, in this era where he regained his original body, the first person he met was Old Xi of the Ancient Heaven Sect. Li Han Tian single-handedly taught Emperor Abdi Min Ren, in a sense he was the true creator of the Ancient Heaven Sect. He was confident that he could revive the old glory of the sect. One day, the Ancient Heaven Sect, under his rule, would be able to sweep through heaven and earth, ruling over the Nine Worlds.

Li Han Tian was deep in thought, so he was unaware of Nan Huairen's arrival.

“Senior, Elders want to meet you.” Nan Huairen waited until Li Han Tian finished musing before he spoke.

Li Han Tian slightly nodded and followed Nan Huairen to the Great Chamber. The Six Elders had gathered there before, and they were all staring at Li Han Tian.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became quiet and serene. Everyone has their own thoughts.

The Six Elders had heard Protector Mo's report of the trial-related events, but Protector Mo did not reveal everything. He concentrated on Li Han Tian passing through the Chaotic Heart Forest, he purposely left the fight with Xu Hui indistinctly, he did not mention the Serpent Punishing Stick, he did not mention the Serpent Punishing Stick, or Li Han Tian's control over the four Heavenly Guard Sects of the Nine Heavenly Gates. In the end, he even concluded that Li Han Tian's victory over Xu Hui was pure luck.

“You have successfully passed the trial?” The First Elder officially asked Li Han Tian. In fact, the Six Elders did not have any faith regarding this matchmaking, but the impossible had happened. Li Han Tian passed the test, but the more surprising detail was that he was able to pass through the Heart Chaos Forest.

Li Han Tian ignored the serious atmosphere in the room, and said: “ Honorable Elder, that's right! Looks like I should get the reward that has been promised to me, don't you think? ”

“Of course there will be a reward, but I want you to explain one thing.” The First Elder asked: “From what I heard, Xu Hui is a famous young disciple of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. His cultivation is the same as the section leader in our sect.You have just joined our sect and have never cultivated before, how can you defeat him?

“Dear Elder, Merit Law is complicated, martial arts is simple. I learned the 'Invisible Double Knife' technique in a strange way, as long as the opponent revealed a weakness in their defense, he would immediately receive a deadly blow. When it comes to life and death battles, the brave will win.” Li Han Tian calmly replied.

“Omong empty!” An Elder named Xiong suddenly shouted and coldly continued: “A human who said that he had killed a Heaven Mandate cultivator through a mere technique is ridiculous.” This elder Xiong had previously supported Li Han Tian, yet today he spoke coldly, and he was not even happy, before and after that like the earth and sky

Li Han Tian looked at Elder Xiong and spoke slowly: “Dear elders, I am only telling the truth. What others can't do doesn't mean I can't.”

He then looked at the remaining Elders in the room: “ Dear Elders, today I am a hero of the Ancient Heaven Sect. If the Elders really think that I have cheated in some way, then you can question those who see it with your own eyes, people like Protector Mo or people from the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.”

“All Elders know in your heart, that this trip to the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect is very dangerous. By going to the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, we will basically head to our own deaths. However, due to the reputation of the Ancient Heaven Sect, even if I lose my life, I will do the same again. Today, I return as a hero. What is the reason behind your suspicion of me? This is how you treat a hero? If this was the reality, then the hearts of the people would be cold, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for this sect again?” Li Han Tian paused for a moment and then continued: “Before my departure, we have an agreement, do you gentlemen venerable Elders want to retract your words? If that was the case, then I can only say that joining this sect was a mistake. Our Heaven Ancient Laws were the bloodline of Immortal Emperors for many eras, if the elders were not loyal to their words, then how could we remain trustworthy as a sect?”

“Whether our sect is trustworthy or not, it is not up to you to comment.” An Elder shouted loudly.

Li Han Tian ignored the reaction of this Elder and continued on: “I risked my life to enter the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect and exit with great success. If the Elders fulfilled the promise from that day on without accusing me of lying, I would not criticize. Otherwise, I will cry ‘not fair’ because the success of this trip is potentially at stake with my life.”

Finished speaking, Li Han Tian coldly glared at the Six Elders.

“You've said too much!” At this moment, an Elder coughed. His expression contained a hint of embarrassment.

First Elder started talking: “Li Han Tian, not because we want to berate you, the problem is all this is just a little strange. Let's put aside Xu Hui's thing, I'd like to hear how you made it through the Heart Chaos Forest.”

The First Elder's eyes brightened and looked at Li Han Tian as if he wanted to see through the child.
