Gu Tieshou is in trouble! Even if Lie Zhan Hou couldnt activate ten parts of this formation, he would still be enough to slay him. Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads in pity.

The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was struck with horror seeing Gue Tieshou trapped in the formation. The four elders lost their color; the situation was very disadvantageous for the sect.

However, everyone underestimated the strength of Gu Tieshou. This battle lasted for three days and three nights. Even though he was trapped, he used the power of the Kun Pengs Six Variants and maneuvered freely. Even though he couldnt kill a way out of the Yang Shou Mountains and Rivers Diagram, if Lie Zhan Hou wanted to kill Gu Tieshou inside the formation; this was also not an easy task.

At this moment, Gu Tieshou and Lie Zhan Hou were persevering inside the formation, and they both were not able to suppress the other.

Gu Tieshou was indeed secretive! I thought he was just a Named Hero. It is unthinkable that he is actually an experienced Royal Noble!

The entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sects hearts were hanging high in a cage up above. At the moment, only Gu Tieshou in the sect had the power to personally uphold one direction. The other four elders were only Named Heroes, and they were unable to help. Even if the four were to fight together, they would still be unable to compete against Lie Zhan Hou.

All of the disciples knew a calamity had befallen on the sect including Li Qiye, who was punished inside the Ghost Pavilion. While the pressure of a Royal Noble flooded the entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Li Qiye simply only glanced into the far distance once.

Outside of the sect, the grand battle had been going on for five days and five nights, and the stalemate continued with Gu Tieshou being unable to escape and Lie Zhan Hou unable to kill him. Gu Tieshou could not surrender, and Lie Zhan Hou definitely could not withdraw his troops, so both of them could only continue this act.

On the seemingly tranquil fifth night, the Ghost Pavilion became even more ghastly. Li Qiye was meditating with his eyes closed in the main hall; it was as if the battle outside of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had nothing to do with him.

The quiet Ghost Pavilion did appear to be haunted during this silent night. An unknown amount of time had passed, and then suddenly, a gust of wind blew Li Qiyes eyes open; in front of him stood a person.

Li Qiye examined the person standing in front of him, and he smilingly asked: Elder Cao, the night is already so late; why did you come here?

At this moment, standing in front of Li Qiye was Elder Cao, who was recovering from his wounds inside the sect!

Cao Xiong stared at Li Qiye with a chilling gaze, but his countenance was cheerful; he happily said: My good talented nephew, I was asked by the other elders to come teach you the Daylight Sky Merit Law.

Daylight Sky Merit Law? Hearing this, Li Qiye couldnt help but smile, and he said: Elder Cao, I heard that the Daylight Sky Merit Law was a minor Heavens Will Secret Law of our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Even though it is only a minor law, its importance is even higher than Virtuous Paragon merit laws. All of the elders must agree before passing down this technique.

My coming here to give you the Daylight Sky Merit Law was unanimously decided by the elders. Cao Xiong busily continued: Currently, a calamity has struck our sect, and First Brother is trapped inside a formation. The elders need a miracle, and we need a Heavens Will Secret Law to come to the rescue. Hopefully, good nephew could dream and see the Patriarch, so he could grant you the Heavens Will Secret Law.

Hearing Cao Xiongs words, Li Qiye hesitated for a moment, and then he replied: Elder Cao, Im afraid this wont work. Even with the dream instruction, it would still need several months, ah!

Cao Xiong hurriedly said: Try it once for now to see if you can see the Patriarch or not in your dream. If not, well think of something else.

Li Qiye also hastily said: Ok, I will try for a little bit. Did Elder Cao bring along the Daylight Sky Merit Law?

Cao Xiong took out a manual and said: This matter was too urgent; the original Daylight Sky copy wasnt brought along. I brought you a hand written copy of it.

Li Qiye accepted the manual, and he was going to open it; however, he then hesitated again, put down the manual, looked at Cao Xiong and said: Elder Cao, even though I am only a third generation disciple, regarding this grave matter, I still know that a Heavens Will Secret Law has the utmost importance in the foundation of our sect. I want to meet the other elders once. It is not that I suspect Elder Cao, but because this matter is so important, I need to see them to really know that it was a unanimous agreement.

My good nephew, this is our existential crisis in front of our eyes! The other elders are outside to hold back the powerful enemies, and they cant come back at this moment; they could only entrust it to me. Cao Xiong hastily spoke with a worried expression. Afterward, he rolled his eyes and added: If good nephew really wants to meet the other elders, so be it. I will just lead you to them.

This could not be better. Having heard this, Li Qiye nodded his head, but he then shook his head, saying: Elder Cao, Im afraid this will not do since I am still serving my punishment at the moment. I have to stay at the Ghost Pavilion for another half a year; I cannot leave.

Cao Xiong impatiently said: It is a life or death moment for us, and the elders had decided to abolish your punishment, good nephew. We dont have much time, hurry and follow me.

Li Qiye hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head again, saying: Elder, this still will not do. Protector Mo is responsible for watching me. If I want to leave this place, we have to inform him first. How about this, Elder Cao quickly go bring Protector Mo here, and we will leave together.

Stop your long windedness! At this moment, Cao Xiong lost his patience and shouted: I let you go, so you go with me!

Li Qiye said while staring at Cao Xiong: Elder Cao, what is the meaning of this? I am only following the normal protocol. As an elder of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, you should know the exact procedures!

Less nonsensical rubbish! Follow me right now! Cao Xiongs gaze became fierce. His violent intent was flashing in his eyes as he gravely spoke: Are you going to walk by yourself, or will I have to drag you?!

At this point, Li Qiye suddenly appeared to understand. He took a step back while hugging his zither and shockingly said: Elder Cao, you didnt come here because of the other elders request.

Haha, heh, you cant be considered stupid yet! Seeing Li Qiyes suspicion, Cao Xiong decided to stop his pretension. He gravely said: If you want to live then follow me right now; otherwise, this seat will personally take action, and I will make your face pretty!

It seemed Li Qiye at this time had finally calmed down. He glanced at Cao Xiong, and he said: So it seems Elder Cao wants to seize the Heavens Will Secret Law then? However, even if the Patriarch Dao instructs me in my dreams, I still wouldnt give it to you.

Cao Xiong exclaimed with a devious laugh: Haha, this you dont need to worry about. Wait until this seat brings you to an isolated location and imprison you. At that moment, this seat wont be afraid of your defiance!

Li Qiye shook his head and said: If I go missing, Im afraid Protector Mo will quickly find out.

Cao Xiong shadily laughed, then said: So what if he finds out? Hehe, at this moment, a disaster has befallen the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect; it is a mess, and there are no precautions at the Ghost Pavilion. Who is to say that you didnt take this chaotic opportunity to escape. Hehe, if there were a page or two of a copy of the Daylight Sky Merit Law, then Im afraid everyone will suspect you to be a spy who snuck into the sect just for the Daylight Sky Merit Law and the Heavens Will Secret Law. Heh, at that moment, Protector Mo and the others will be your accomplices!

Li Qiye shook his head: Elder Cao, you are too confident in your calculations. You arent afraid that the other elders will see through it?

Ha ha, the other elders will see through it? Huk, maybe after this disaster, there might be a new sect master for the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Huk, if Gu Tieshou was trapped to death in the formation, the sect would need a capable elder to lead it against the powerful opponents. Also, the current sect master is weak and useless. A calamity has arrived, yet she cowardly hid outside; thus, the entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Im afraid it will need to make a wise decision. Cao Xiong thought about his calculations, and he couldnt help but to deviously laugh.

Li Qiye smiled and said: So, Elder Cao would be the new sect master then. Elder Cao will be the new sect master; why the need for this hastiness to size the Heavens Will Secret Law?

Cao Xiongs eyes became severe, and he began to be impatient: Less talking!

Li Qiye stared at Cao Xiong, couldnt help but laugh, then he said: I understand, so you bargained with others. Was it Dong Shenglong, or Lie Zhan Hou? It seems like the person who you conspired with will not release the hawk without seeing the rabbit; if you dont give them the Heavens Will Secret Law, they will not withdraw the troops; or they wont drag you to the sect masters seat?

Rubbish, come with me! Cao Xiong was now restless. He let out a deafening roar and he reached for Li Qiye with his hand.

Cao Xiong, I didnt think the sect traitor would turn out to be you! At this moment, a loud roar came forward. From the outside, five people rushed in. This included the four elders along with Protector Mo!

Elder Suns group suddenly came in causing Cao Xiongs expression to greatly sour, and he took a step back. In a flash, he captured Li Qiye, and he retreated to a corner.

At this time, Elder Sun, Elder Qian, Elder Zhou, and Elder Wu quickly surrounded Cao Xiong.

Elder Qian yelled: Cao Xiong, you betrayed the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and sold off the sects Emperor law! How will you face the ancestors?

Cao Xiongs face was sometimes red and sometimes white. He was in disbelief, and he frightenedly said: You, why all are all of you here? Why are you not outside the sect?

Protector Mo gravely said: Elder Cao, I have been watching all of your moves! You and Lie Zhan Hous act was too real; even the elders were fooled, but you didnt fool me.

Cao Xiongs expression became extremely ugly. He was using this opportunity to capture Li Qiye without anyone knowing, so he didnt think that Protector Mo was trailing him.

Elder Wu shouted: Cao Xiong, it is not too late to surrender!

Cao Xiong thunderously exclaimed: If successful, I would be a king; if failed, then I am a villain. I have nothing else to say. Know better and make way for me, otherwise, I will crush your treasured disciple. Without him, you all will never find the Heavens Will Secret Law!

Seeing Cao Xiongs five fingers gripping Li Qiyes head, the expressions of Elder Suns group greatly soured, and they glanced at each other.

So he is the key to the Heavens Will Secret Law! At this moment, a calm voice filled the hall.
