The Against Heaven
Chapter 77: The Betrayal of Elder Cao Xiong



At this moment, someone entered the Ghost Pavilion. The moment he entered, he released his Royal Noble pressure which caused the elders to change their expressions.


Seeing this person, Elder Sun exclaimed: “Dong Shenglong ..”


“Cao Xiong, you did not tell me that this little brat is the key to the Secret Law of Heaven's Will!” Dong Shenglong's gaze fell on Li Han Tian. His eyes narrowed before he laughed heartily: “In other words, getting this little brat is the same as getting the Emperor merit laws of the Heaven Ancient Sect!”


“Kakak Dong, this is not the time we blame each other!” Cao Xiong spoke in a serious tone: “At the moment, we should cooperate. Let's leave this place first, then talk!”


Dong Shenglong glared at Cao Xiong and coldly sneered: “Cao Xiong, you still want to rule me with your little strategy? Hmph, if I don't watch over you closely, you will be the one to die now! ”


“Cao Xiong, conspire with outsiders and betray the sect, you have committed an insurmountable crime!” At this moment, Elder Zhou could not help but roar; the four elders were angered by this betrayal!


Cao Xiong's face turned white, then green. Finally, he coldly scowled, and he did not bother to argue. Dong Shenglong's arrival had sealed the conclusion of the matter.


Dong Shenglong looked at the four elders and smiled: “Old Brother Zhou, your words are correct, but after today, it will not happen. Heh, Li Han Tian conspired with the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect to steal the Emperor merit laws of the Heaven Ancient Sect, and he was discovered by the four elders. Then, a huge battle broke out between all of you against Li Han Tian and Li Shuangyan! In the end, both sides died valiantly in battle!


“As for Gu Tieshou, ah. Cao Xiong and I will join him and enter the formation, and we will defeat Lie Zhan Hou and repel the enemy, but Gu Tieshou will die from heavy injuries inside. Su Yonghuang from the Heaven Ancient Sect was cowardly and weak, and she hid in the outskirts, not daring to fight. The sect would definitely remove his position as a sect master. Elder Cao has contributed greatly along with the support of the entire disciples, so he will become the new sect master of the Heaven Ancient Sect.” Dong Shenglong spoke slowly.


The faces of the four elders were extremely difficult to see. Against Cao Xiong, they were not afraid, but with the appearance of Dong Shenglong, the result had been determined. The four of them would not be able to compete against Dong Shenglong!


“This story, it's not that bad right? It could even become a legend praised by the Heaven Ancient Sect in the future.” Dong Shenglong was quite satisfied with his tactics, so he grinned: “Cao Xiong will be comfortable with the position of his sect master, and for me ah! As a guest advisor to the Heaven Ancient Sect for so long, I have fulfilled my obligations.”


“When you withdraw, you will also bring the Emperor merit laws of this sect right?” At this moment, a pleasant laugh and ringing came from Li Han Tian, who was within Cao Xiong's grasp.


Li Han Tian was still hugging his ancient zither. Even under Cao Xiong's control, he remained calm.


At this moment, he was smilingly staring at Dong Shenglong, and he clearly spoke: “Not a bad plan. Unfortunately, in my eyes, it was just overkill. Also, before killing all of you, remember this one sentence, anyone who defies my path will be killed mercilessly!”


“Zhang ..” Finish talking, five fingers Li Han Tian suddenly pulled the strings of the zither. In an instant, the zither in his hand spewed out endless brilliance with the continuous pressure of Dao, and he broke Cao Xiong's grip on him.


“Zhang ..” Harmonious zither sounds cause the melodic patterns within the Ghost Pavilion to come alive. At this moment, these dense patterns suddenly lit up, and endless magical runes appeared along with clear sword notes; two sword auras immediately flowed out!


“Ahh...” A sword blade split open, Cao Xiong was late to shout as his head was thrown upwards. He then saw blood rushing out of his neck. Even after death, he was unaware of what had just happened.


“Ahh ..” Dong Shenglong yells pitifully. The sword aura swiftly pierced through his body, and the tip of the sword, in an instant, shattered his Dao foundation. Under one sword, his fragile Dao foundation could not withstand a single blow; it was as if it was dry and rotten wood. He violently spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he fell straight onto the ground!


“Not ...” Dong Shenglong shouted while rolling on the ground. Her skin lost all color out of fear, and she shouted crazily: “No, NO, this is impossible!”


At this point, the four elders and Protector Mo froze in fear. Cao Xiong was acceptable, but Dong Shenglong was a Royal Noble, yet he was still unable to block a single blow. Even until now, the four elders still did not know exactly what had just happened.


“I, my cultivation for three thousand years ..” In the end, Dong Shenglong let out a loud roar, and he shakily crawled up. In a short period of time, he was several hundred years older. His back bent, and his flesh dried up.


“Little beast, I will fight you to the death.” After standing up, Dong Shenglong went crazy, and he rushed forward towards Li Han Tian. However, at this moment he was like a hundred year old old man who could not walk without trembling.


At this time, Li Han Tian raised his eyebrows and ordered: “Hold him!”


The four elders and Protector Mo regained their spirits. Elder Qian easily caught Dong Shenglong. He was stunned when he realized that Dong Shenglong's cultivation was completely destroyed.


“Little animal, kill me if you dare! Kill me, ah!” Deng Shenglong, with disheveled hair, madly struggled to escape Elder Qian's clutches. He even tried to pounce on Li Han Tian with his nails.


He cultivated for three thousand years only to lose it all in one moment. To a cultivator, this was a fate worse than death. One could not blame Dong Shenglong for being so angry.


Li Han Tian slowly glanced at him, and he said: “We will definitely kill you, but not now. You a thousand times, ten thousand times should not offend me; it is you who seek death. ”


Such a change of atmosphere shook the hearts of the four elders. Previously, Dong Shenglong who was a Royal Noble, caused them to fear ten thousand fold. Even if the four of them fought together, they were not necessarily a match for Dong Shenglong. However, a moment later, he had been made into an old man who could not catch a chicken properly! This matter is too scary.


The four elders hesitantly stared at the ancient zither on Li Han Tian's chest. Looking at his ancient zither, they could not help but shiver.


Dong Shenglong was taken away to prison.


“This, this ... What really happened in the end?”


Cao Xiong betrayed the sect; this matter need not be discussed. However, Li Han Tian easily killed Cao Xiong and destroyed Dong Shenglong causing the elders to still be stunned.


Hugging his zither, Li Han Tian calmly explained: “It was only the strength and eternal intent of an Immortal Emperor, when they turned into swords, they were enough to kill four directions.”


At this moment, the four elders and Protector Mo could not help but analyze this Ghost Pavilion. Earlier when Li Han Tian played the zither, they all felt a change in Dao; however, everything was so fast and they could not see clearly. Right now, they still could not see the mysteries here.


Elder Sun took a cold breath and asked: “Where did this ancient zither come from?”


Li Han Tian smiled: “I am meditating on this wall. When night fell, the Patriarch appeared in my dream and told me that downstairs there was an ancient zither buried. That year, the Patriarch used to play it and then, it sank to the ground.


“I followed the Patriarch's instructions, and I dug up this ancient zither. In my dream, the Patriarch also told me about the true mystery regarding this Sitar Pavilion. Originally, this pavilion was a place where the Patriarch used to be nostalgic. During the period of upholding the world's immortal strength, he used to play the zither here. Unwittingly, the truth of the Dao is imprinted in the zither laws. After a long period of time, the entire Sitar Pavilion contained these zither laws, and finally, these zither laws were able to accommodate the vast imperial power and the immortal intentions of the Patriarch. Not only that, this zither law also hides the peerless Dao of zither.”


Li Han Tian spoke continuously as if everything was a fact.


Li Han Tian smilingly continued: “Patriark in my dream taught me how to play and activate the zither laws to borrow the emperor's power and immortal intent.”


Hearing Li Han Tian's words, the four elders couldn't help but greatly change their expressions. Even in their wildest dreams, they would not believe that the place they thought of as the Ghost Pavilion would contain emperor power and immortal intent like this!


Elder Wu emotionally said: “Li Han Tian is the person personally chosen by our ancestors to lead our Heaven Ancient Sect. The patriarch has chosen him, and this means that in the future, he will lead us towards the revival of the sect. He will restore the glory of our Sect!”


Originally it was Dao's instruction in a dream, but now it was a treasure quest in a dream. For the four elders, there was no doubt that the Patriarch had chosen Li Han Tian to become the new leader of the Heaven Ancient Sect.


Amidst everything, Li Han Tian's status, in the minds of the four elders, rose to a higher level. Li Han Tian was the one chosen by Immortal Emperor Min Ren, and he would be his representative!


The four elders struggled to regain their spirits, and Elder Qian muttered: “The matter of the Sitar Pavilion, I have read about it. I heard that this is really the place where the Patriarch used to play his zither. Who would have thought that this place inherited the emperor's strength and immortal intent!”


Elder Zhou couldn't help but murmur softly: “This pavilion inherited the emperor's strength and immortal intent, does that mean it is even stronger than our patriarch's portrait?”


Elder Sun exclaimed: “This is all thanks to Li Han Tian; otherwise, we will lose this emperor's treasure.”


Elder Wu excitedly said: “Patriark protect our Sect! He is unwilling to see our setback, so he chose Han Tian to be the one to restore our sect!”


Suddenly, the four elders were overjoyed; the Miracle of Li Han Tian allowed them to see a glimmer of hope.


“Not good ..” At this moment, Elder Qian suddenly gathered his thoughts, and he shockedly said: “First Brother is still stuck in formation! We must hurry to save him. Perhaps the Heavenly God Sect would even use another evil plan to harm First Brother! ”


Li Han Tian smiled, and he said: “In the Heaven Ancient Sect, this is not a difficult matter. Let me play the tone and destroy Lie Zhan Hou.”'s formation


Finished speaking, he sat in a meditative pose on the ground, and he started playing the ancient zither.


The ancient zither lit up at once, and the Lute Pavilion also lit up…
