True and False Shi Tian

"Shi Tian, you never expected this, did you? You've committed heinous crimes, and I've tracked them all down one by one. Surrender now!"

Shi Yutian spoke righteously, his words like a barrage of criticism. The group of faction leaders under him also shouted loudly.

"Sect Leader, please surrender!"

"Sect Leader, please surrender!"

"Sect Leader, please surrender!"

The crowd was stirred, their shouts shaking the heavens.

For a time, nearly half of the Lion Underworld Sect members were yelling at Shi Tian, showing clear intent to usurp.

"Shi Tian, aren't you going to surrender?"

Shi Tian gritted his teeth, the sound of them grinding together, wishing he could grind Shi Yutian into dust.

"I surren— I surrender to your mother!"

In an instant, Shi Tian launched a fierce attack. A long, ice-blue sword appeared in his hand, and he thrust it ferociously towards Shi Yutian.

Shi Yutian no longer feared him. He retreated dozens of steps, dodging Shi Tian's attack. Meanwhile, his foul mouth continued to blare.

"Shi Tian suddenly attacked me, intending to silence me and destroy the evidence I hold. This act is treacherous and evil. Do you think you can silence me and then silence the entire world? Esteemed Sect Elders, please quickly join me in apprehending this wicked traitor and eradicating evil, yaaah..."

All the elders and factions under Shi Yutian ascended the high platform, intending to surround Shi Tian.

The thousand or so sect leaders present silently pondered. It seemed Shi Tian was finished. If Shi Yutian succeeded in seizing power today, he would become the new leader of the Lion Underworld Sect.

From afar, She Qingqing felt a sense of strangeness. "Why did Shi Tian change his weapon? Didn't he used to use a sixth-tier saber?"

Ye Qianqian felt something was amiss upon hearing this.

Shi Tian looked at the elders surrounding him and sneered, "Elder Shi Yutian, you're quite capable to attempt to seize my power. Did you really think I wasn't prepared?"

As soon as Shi Tian finished speaking, several powerful figures flew in from all directions. These figures were at the Dou Ancestor and Dou Venerate realms, and they, in turn, surrounded Shi Yutian's faction of elders.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

After receiving She Qingqing's message, Shi Tian had also made preparations, specifically ordering his subordinates to lie in ambush nearby to await Shi Yutian's rebellion.

Shi Tian's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected Shi Tian's defenses to be so robust. He immediately glanced towards the Misty Cloud Sect members below and shouted, "Shi Tian, I underestimated you. However, you will still die today." He then called out to Ye Qianqian and the others, "Esteemed Ye Qianqian, please lend us your assistance!"

This shout greatly shocked Shi Tian, who also looked towards Ye Qianqian and the others below.

The other sect leaders also looked over. It was perplexing that Shi Yutian had ties with the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Cough cough..." Ye Qianqian said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Elder Yutian, but we are feeling unwell today and are unable to assist. However, we offer our full spiritual support. As an apology, I will cheer you on from here."

"You..." Shi Yutian was so enraged that his beard trembled. These shameless individuals took my benefits but refused to act. Disgraceful, hateful!

"Hahahaha!" Seeing that the Misty Cloud Sect remained neutral, Shi Tian's confidence surged. "Shi Yutian, did you really think the esteemed members of the Misty Cloud Sect would help a hypocritical traitor like you? Let me tell you the truth: last night, I made a deal with Elder She Qingqing of the Misty Cloud Sect. Now, the esteemed members of the Misty Cloud Sect will help me purge my sect."

"What?" Shi Yutian was furious, shocked, and terrified by Shi Tian's words.

Shi Tian cupped his hands. "Elder She Qingqing, please assist this Sect Leader in purging the sect."

The situation took a dramatic turn, with everyone watching as if it were a power play. Shi Yutian and Shi Tian's struggle for power was secondary; no one expected the Misty Cloud Sect to get involved.

She Qingqing smiled and said to Shi Tian, "Sect Leader Shi Tian, I ate something bad last night and am still feeling unwell. I can't accompany you in killing the villain. However, I will cheer you on. Love you, muah!"

"Pfft!"

Shi Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, flying three feet high. He was so angered by She Qingqing's words that he felt dizzy, his legs wobbled. Regardless of whether She Qingqing kept her word, the mere thought of a centuries-old woman making kissy faces at him was enough to make him feel unwell.

Since the Misty Cloud Sect declared neutrality, the victor of the battle between Shi Tian and Shi Yutian remained unknown.

Immediately, the high platform erupted into a chaotic battle. These were all high-level combatants of the Lion Underworld Sect. As soon as they clashed, the fight became fierce, with Dou Qi flying everywhere.

Many sect leaders, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, retreated several paces. However, they were unwilling to leave, as they all wanted to see who would emerge victorious from this battle.

Shi Yutian, being a three-star Dou Venerate himself, immediately suppressed Shi Tian, who was forced to retreat and struggled to resist. Shi Tian had no choice but to order his subordinates to form a great array to counter the fierce assault from Elder Shi Yutian's faction.

"Nether Lion Roaring Array?"

Shi Yutian recognized the formation at a glance. It was a unique formation passed down only to the Sect Leader of the Lion Underworld Sect throughout the generations.

Once the formation was complete, everyone's Dou Qi would be poured into it, forming a lion condensed from Dou Qi.

This lion was seven feet tall, with a large, imposing head and eyes that shone with sharp, majestic light.

It exuded an aura of nobility, authority, ferocity, and the power of a beast king.

Its majestic roar carried soul-shattering sound waves that shook the heavens and earth.

"Quick, break their formation! We can't let them complete it!"

Shi Yutian's heart sank. If the Nether Lion Roaring Array were fully formed, even a five-star Dou Venerate would perish here.

"Hahaha, it's useless, Shi Yutian. You intended to usurp the sect and harbored malicious intentions. Today, I will grind you, old beast, into powder to vent my hatred!" Shi Tian waved his long sword, and his subordinates responded in unison, clapping their hands heavily.

"No, stop!" Shi Yutian screamed frantically, but it was to no avail.

The lion condensed from Dou Qi let out a deep, bell-like roar, spewing endless Qi from its mouth, shattering the space and shaking the earth. Beautiful pavilions and towers were reduced to rubble by the sound waves. Everyone present covered their ears, groaning in pain.

Shi Yutian and the others were trapped within the formation and bore the brunt of the attack. Under the sound waves emitted by the lion, both Dou Ancestors and Dou Venerates found their physical bodies gradually disintegrating, eventually turning into eerie skeletons scattered across the ground.

As the sound waves subsided, there were no enemies left within the formation. Shi Tian's subordinates, having expended all their Dou Qi to activate the formation, were also exhausted.

Shi Tian breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Yutian was finally dead.

"Whoosh!"

Thousands of sect leaders were collectively shocked. The Lion Underworld Sect's formation was so ferocious that it had killed so many Dou Venerate powerhouses at once. It was terrifying.

"My apologies, everyone. Shi Yutian was acting rebelliously just now, and I have eliminated him on behalf of the sect. I hope you'll forgive my rudeness," Shi Tian said, his face pale, cupping his hands politely to apologize to everyone.

The crowd waved their hands in a panic.

"Not at all, not at all. Sect Leader Shi Tian is valiant and unmatched for killing that old scoundrel Shi Yutian. We only look up to you even more."

"That's right. Sect Leader Shi Tian is benevolent and gave Shi Yutian many chances, but he was ungrateful and deserved to die."

"Yes, we've long disliked Shi Yutian. How dare he slander Sect Leader Shi Tian with rats... cough cough, he deserves to die."

When a wall crumbles, everyone pushes it. Whether it was the thousands of sect leaders or the disciples within the Lion Underworld Sect, they all began to praise Shi Tian, fearing that Shi Tian would hold a grudge against them.

But just then, fluctuations echoed from the depths of space. An ancient hand tore through the spatial barrier, stunning everyone into silence.

The owner of that hand was the Shi Yutian from just now. It turned out that when Shi Yutian saw that the situation was unfavorable, he had immediately hidden himself in space.

"You, how are you not dead? This is impossible." Shi Tian's pupils contracted sharply. Seeing the tattered Shi Yutian reappear, he was too shocked to speak.

Shi Yutian let out a cold laugh. He tore open his damaged robe with his large hand, revealing a set of purple, glowing crystal armor on his chest.

"North Sea Profound Crystal Armor?"

Some recognized the armor at a glance. It was the Rank 8 profound armor that the powerhouses of the Northwest Continent had frantically fought over hundreds of years ago.

This profound armor was forged from purple crystal stones from the bottom of the Northern Underworld Sea and could withstand the full-power strike of a Nine-Star Dou Venerate powerhouse. Who knew this treasure had fallen into Shi Yutian's hands.

"Sect Leader, hurry and leave! We'll hold off this old bastard!"

Seeing Shi Yutian stride towards Shi Tian, his subordinates hurriedly picked up their weapons and blocked Shi Yutian's path.

"All of you, die!"

Shi Yutian was now filled with fighting spirit. Shi Tian's subordinates were already exhausted and depleted. How could they be a match for him? They charged forward one by one, like eggs hitting rocks.

Shi Yutian grabbed them one by one, ripped open their chests, pulled out their tendons and bones, and tore them to shreds. His methods were extremely brutal.

Shi Tian's legs trembled with fear, and he scrambled backward, rolling and crawling.

"Come here to me!" Shi Yutian's large hand grabbed Shi Tian, and he burst into laughter. He then addressed the thousands of sect leaders present, "Shi Tian is nothing but a good-for-nothing. How can he manage my Lion Underworld Sect? Do you all agree with me?"

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of everyone present. The sudden turn of events was too terrifying. The North Sea Profound Crystal Armor was actually on Shi Yutian. They quickly chimed in.

"Elder Yutian is mighty! Shi Tian is trash! Elder Yutian is the true leader of the Lion Underworld Sect!"

"Elder Yutian possesses divine power that shakes the world! He is perfectly capable of taking on the position of Sect Leader!"

"Shi Tian, you offended Elder Yutian, and you deserve it!"

The people who had just collectively supported Shi Tian now changed their tune and supported Shi Yutian, clapping their hands and giving him thumbs-ups, praising Shi Yutian's great achievements.

Shi Yutian grabbed Shi Tian as if he were a chick. After looking at his terrified expression, he said nothing more and struck Shi Tian's crown with his palm.

'Shi Tian' wailed and cried, shouting, "Sect Leader Shi Tian, save me!"
