The Against Heaven

Chapter 60: Guest Advisor Dong Shenglong

In that case, even if Cao Xiong was ten times braver, he would still not dare. Not only him, even the entire Heaven Ancient Sect would not dare to offend Li Shuangyan. To offend him, was the same as offending the entire Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. To offend a gigantic monster like the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, this was akin to seeking death!

“Fuck with it!” Cao Xiong was unwilling to shout out this sentence. His genius disciple did not get into Li Shuangyan's eyes, but a piece of trash like Li Han Tian won Li Shuangyan's heart, this was absurd.

This event, the only explanation was that Li Han Tian was a spy from the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. However, this type of explanation was even more absurd and even more unreasonable than Li Shuangyan who liked Li Han Tian.

If the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect were to send disciples with Mortal Physiques, Mortal Life Wheels, and Mortal Fate Palaces to infiltrate the Heaven Ancient Sect, then it was absolutely impossible. What was even worse was that Li Han Tian would become the most unqualified spy, had anyone ever seen such an arrogant spy?

To say that Li Han Tian was a spy from the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, even Cao Xiong himself did not believe it. This was simply a scheme to attack Li Han Tian.

If Li Han Tian was not a spy from the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, then what was the reason Li Shuangyan sided with him? Could it be because the two sects had a marriage agreement? Or maybe it was because Li Shuangyan liked him so much?

Regarding this matter, Cao Xiong was almost crazy for constantly thinking. Cao Xiong's facial wrinkle was very difficult to see; in the end, he went to visit a certain place in the Heaven Ancient Sect.

Above the main peak in the Heaven Ancient Sect was the peak with the densest natural energy in the sect; however, today inside the main hall of this peak, there was no appearance of an elder or a sect protector, either, but Guest Counselor Dong Shenglong!

Guest advisor, this chair is present in many sects and even in many countries. Being a guest advisor meant benefiting from the resources of a sect or nation, and they did not have to worry about sect matters, only when a sect or country met a disaster did the guest advisor need to take action!

Dong Shenglong was the guest advisor of the Heaven Ancient Sect, plus he was the only guest advisor of the sect!

Inside the ancient hall, the breath of Royal Noble – was like mercury – thrown into the air, without a single opening. This caused others to not dare to approach! An old man dressed in a blue robe with a strong pressure, his entire body was absorbing and exerting frightening energy from the Royal Noble. Without a doubt, he was a powerful Royal Noble, a very experienced Royal Noble.

Dong Shenglong, a guest advisor from the Heaven Ancient Sect, was a powerful Royal Noble who could change the expressions of others. His cultivation, compared to the Six Elders of the sect, was even stronger.

At this moment, Dong Shenglong and Cao Xiong were sharing a table. Even though they were sitting together, Cao Xiong still showed a respectful and careful attitude.

“So Brother Cao's mood has been bad lately, ah.” Dong Shenglong poured wine into Cao Xiong's bowl. As a Royal Noble, he seemed very approachable; however, his unexpected eyes carried a chill that could swallow others!

Cao Xiong drank the wine in silence, and he did not say anything back then. Naturally, he came here with a lot of expectations, but he was unwilling to open his mouth first. He was waiting for Dong Shenglong to mention the price.

“Brother Cao is worried because of the chair of the sect?” Dong Shenglong was still pouring wine for Cao Xiong; his face still displayed the same hidden smile, but the cold intent in his eyes was terrifying.

Dong Shenglong was a guest advisor to the sect, but in reality, his origin was formidable. His Royal Noble title was not self-proclaimed, it was given to him by the Kingdom of Heavenly Jewels.

Dong Shenglong's background was that of the noble of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom. This noble family had complex ties with the Heavenly God Sect, and could even be considered a sub-sect of the Heavenly God Sect.

Also, even the Dong Shenglong family was not weak, it was many times stronger than the current Heaven Ancient Sect!

Dong Shenglong became a guest advisor in the Heaven Ancient Sect, certainly not at the invitation of the sect. Don't joke, the Heaven Ancient Sect and the Heavenly God Sect are considered enemies.

Thirty thousand years ago, when the Heaven Ancient Sect had declined, the Heavenly God Sect attacked them. Not only did the Heaven Ancient Sect lose their empire that they had controlled for generations, but they also lost all of their Great Elders, more or less, in this war!

After this war, the Heaven Ancient Sect had yet to recover. The Heavenly God Sect established the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom on top of the collapsed royal remains of the Heaven Ancient Sect!

Dong Shenglong was a noble in the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom, and he was awarded the Royal Noble by this kingdom; why did the Heaven Ancient Sect invite him to be a guest advisor? He was assigned here as an advisor by the Mortal King of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom.

Regarding this special guest advisor, the Heaven Ancient Sect was unable to resist. Today, the sect was no longer able to compete with the Heavenly God Sect or the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom. With the guest advisors sent by the kingdom, the sect could only accept them inside.

Dong Shenglong, as a guest advisor in the Heaven Ancient Sect, he had his own mission. He kept a very low profile during his time here. Other than cultivating, he rarely went outside, let alone meddling in the affairs of the Heaven Ancient Sect, thus Dong Shenglong did not make many protectors and elders to directly reject him.

Cao Xiong was an elder of the sect. In the past, he was similar to other protectors and elders, having great hostility towards Dong Shenglong. However, Cao Xiong in his heart, also had many things he wanted to change because he always had ambitions towards the sect head seat.

During that year, regarding the inheritance of the sect head seat and considering the order by status, the sect head seat should have been given to the first elder or to him!

This was also the reason why Cao Xiong so often tried to form his disciple, Leng Shizhi, into a main disciple, but this progress was not so smooth.

With this result, Cao Xiong became desperate, and his extraordinary ideals were difficult to achieve. Under these conditions, with Dong Shenglong deliberately being friendly towards him, Cao Xiong inadvertently became closer to Dong Shenglong; his previous hostility towards Dong Shenglong had diminished a lot.

Then, Dong Shenglong had repeatedly implied that he and his support would be able to help Cao Xiong rise to the position of sect master of the Heaven Ancient Sect!

With such a tempting offer from Dong Shenglong, it would be strange if Cao Xiong was not interested! Cao Xiong knew the people behind Dong Shenglong were strong, but he also knew what Dong Shenglong wanted.

If he really joined Dong Shenglong, Cao Xiong knew that becoming a sect master was not a difficult thing. The problem was, once he joined Dong Shenglong, he had to put in a lot of effort afterward. The support of the Heavenly Gem Kingdom was not easy to provide, and this deal would make him betray the Heaven Ancient Sect and the ancestors.

Although Cao Xiong really craved the seat of the sect master and was tempted by Dong Shenglong's offer, but as an elder of the Heaven Ancient Sect and a disciple who grew up here, he said, he was finally unable to cross this bottom line in his heart. In the end, for him to betray the sect and the ancestors would be something that would torture his conscience!

Of course, Dong Shenglong was in no hurry either. The Heaven Ancient Sect had declined, and the item from this sect, one day it would fall into his hands, he had enough patience. Of course, if Cao Xiong wanted to join him, it would be better.

Facing Dong Shenglong, Cao Xiong only drank without answering while Dong Shenglong remained smiling. It was a smile on the outside, but not on the inside.

Finally, Cao Xiong put down the bowl in his hand and said: “The sect master does not exist, so I do not need to worry.”

Dong Shenglong, with his pretentious smile: “Brother Cao is the elder of the sect, and you really contributed with your blood and courage. Brother Cao should be more aware of the current situation of the Heaven Ancient Sect.”

Cao Xiong was waiting for Dong Shenglong to say these words. He looked at Dong Shenglong: “My mind is dark; please give me some pointers.”

Dong Shenglong, still smiling, replied: “Brother Cao, even though the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect is here because of the matter of marriage, However, have you ever thought about this? I'm afraid they're only here because of a certain thing in the Heaven Ancient Sect. ”

“Is that so?” Cao Xiong did not answer directly. In reality, he knew clearly what he meant in his heart.

Dong Shenglong did not care about Cao Xiong's attitude. He was afraid that the fish would not bite his bait. As long as he takes the bait, everything will be easy. He would no longer be afraid of Cao Xiong's doubts.

Dong Shenglong sincerely asked: “Did Brother Cao think more about this? In fact, in the end the only thing that could protect the Heaven Ancient Sect was the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom. The Nine Heavenly Gate Sect was far in another corner of the world; they only wanted things that belonged to them. As for whether the Heaven Ancient Sect is alive or dead, I'm afraid they don't care at all. ”

“Marriage between two sects, I do not see it as a bad thing completely.” Cao Xiong still replied patiently.

Dong Shenglong laughed and then said the words with hidden meaning: “Of course, from your point of view, the marriage agreement between the two sects is a happy thing, worth celebrating. However, the marriage of two sects; from my point of view, if your disciple Leng Shizhi could marry Li's daughter, then that would be ten parts perfect.”

“Unfortunately, my student is not the main student!”

“This marriage agreement; it doesn't have to be the main disciple, right?”

The fish had taken the bait, so Dong Shenglong smiled. Cao Xiong, in the end, could not escape from his palm, and his confidence increased; he then, with a beaming smile, said: “The two sects have a pact. However, what if something unexpected happens to the main disciple, or what if your main disciple commits a great sin?”

Cao Xiong's eyes narrowed as he asked: “What is the meaning behind brother Dong's words?”

Dong Shenglong replied with a smile: “Brother Cao, there are some people who have achieved some achievements, and they inevitably become arrogant and disrespectful to their seniors. They then did the wrong action against the sect rules? Tell me am I right? For example, if your main disciple, Li Han Tian committed a crime, then the Heaven Ancient Sect must handle it fairly. This type of horse was causing trouble for his herd; if it was not dealt with, it would cause a detrimental loss to the sect.”

Cao Xiong's eyes were focused, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Finally, Dong Shenglong, still staring at Cao Xiong, slowly opened his mouth: “Brother Cao, because you came to confide in this younger brother, he said, this little brother would naturally help a friend; even if it would risk my life. If brother Cao has an idea, just do it. Even if the sky collapses, isn't this little brother still here to console Brother Cao?”

“Brother Dong is very loving and helpful; this Cao appreciates him a lot.” In the end, Cao Xiong stood up and clenched his hands together before leaving.

After Cao Xiong's departure, Dong Shenglong smiled, and he slowly said: “As long as you have stepped on this boat, I am not afraid that you will not betray the Heaven Ancient Sect. Cao Xiong, ah Cao Xiong; if you want to fight with that old Gu, you will definitely ask for my help!”
