Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At this moment, He Busi waved his fair hand, gathering all the densely packed paper figurines in the sky. With a flash of white light, the paper figurines instantly vanished.

After completing all of this, He Busi seemed to sense the gazes of Chen Tian and Li Qianyun. He looked up at them and said with a smile, “What are you two doing? Why are you fighting as soon as you meet?”

Although He Busi wore a kind and benevolent expression, Chen Tian and Li Qianyun both knew that this person's strength was unfathomable; he was a reclusive master!

Chen Tian had seen He Busi take action before, but because he hadn't directly fought him, he didn't fully understand He Busi's true strength.

However, after witnessing the scene just now, Chen Tian truly realized He Busi's power.

Chen Tian believed that if He Busi had truly intended to kill them just now, neither he nor Li Qianyun could have stopped him. Only by joining forces could they barely contend with He Busi.

However, getting Chen Tian and Li Qianyun to join forces was an impossible task, so Chen Tian's assessment of He Busi's strength instantly rose to another level.

Chen Tian repeatedly reminded himself that unless absolutely necessary, he should never provoke He Busi. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After contemplating this, Chen Tian took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said calmly to He Busi, “Brother He, don't ask me about what happened just now. Ask her; after all, she attacked first. I was merely defending passively.”

After shifting his gaze away from He Busi, Chen Tian looked at Li Qianyun again.

He was baffled by what had just happened. Out of nowhere, this woman had attacked him as if she had gone mad.

Chen Tian searched his memory repeatedly, but couldn't recall ever meeting this woman before.

Therefore, Chen Tian believed that there was no past animosity between him and this woman.

Since there was no past grudge or recent resentment, Chen Tian really couldn't understand why she insisted on attacking him.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's eyes turned cold as he looked towards Li Qianyun.

Upon hearing Chen Tian's words, He Busi couldn't help but be taken aback. Indeed, he had clearly seen that as soon as Chen Tian stepped out of the teleportation array, Li Qianyun had attacked without warning, with such speed that even he was startled.

If He Busi hadn't intervened in time, the two of them would probably already be locked in an inextricable battle.

He Busi had invited Chen Tian and Li Qianyun to explore the treasure together, not to kill each other. Therefore, He Busi would not allow the same thing to happen again; otherwise, their team would be dissolved before they even set out.

Thinking of this, He Busi changed his previous amiable expression, revealing a hint of reproach as he said coldly to Li Qianyun, “Niece Qianyun, although we are old acquaintances, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for what happened just now. Otherwise, I will not allow you to enter with us.”

Previously, He Busi had always appeared refined and gentle, with a smile constantly on his face, making people want to get close to him.

But now, He Busi's gaze was as cold as winter, and an invisible aura gathered around him as he stared silently at Li Qianyun.

Although Li Qianyun had always been arrogant, after witnessing the strength He Busi had displayed just now, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous and quickly explained, “Senior He, please don't misunderstand. I just feel that this trip is extremely dangerous. If the person you brought is weak, not only will they not be able to help, but they may even hold us back. So, I took the liberty of testing him.”

As she spoke, Li Qianyun's beautiful eyes shifted slightly, looking towards Chen Tian.

Just as she said, the reason she attacked just now was to test Chen Tian's strength.

It turned out that when she heard He Busi say that Chen Tian's talent was even higher than hers, this woman's heart was filled with jealousy, and she felt uneasy all over.

From birth, Li Qianyun had been recognized by the world as a favored daughter of heaven. Constant flattery and compliments had nurtured Li Qianyun's arrogant and conceited personality.

In countless praises, Li Qianyun's arrogance swelled to the extreme. She didn't even take the several grandmasters of her sect seriously.

Although Chen Tian's methods displayed on the Ascension Platform had attracted Li Qianyun's attention, she didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that Chen Tian was just lucky.

However, when she heard He Busi's excessive praise of Chen Tian, even saying that Chen Tian's talent and potential were far above hers, Li Qianyun could no longer tolerate it. She planned to use practical actions to tell He Busi that Chen Tian was not worth mentioning in front of her.

Therefore, when she first saw Chen Tian, Li Qianyun suddenly attacked him. One reason was to test Chen Tian's strength, and the other was to give Chen Tian a warning.

But what Li Qianyun didn't expect was that Chen Tian was really as difficult to deal with as the rumors said.

Although Chen Tian and Li Qianyun were both in the early stage of the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm), Li Qianyun had been invincible among cultivators of the same realm, and she didn't even take cultivators in the middle stage of the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm) seriously.

But Chen Tian, as a cultivator in the same realm as her, not only blocked all her attacks, but also had the strength to counterattack, which greatly surprised Li Qianyun.

However, despite this, Li Qianyun still felt that if He Busi hadn't suddenly intervened, the final victory would still belong to her. Chen Tian was not worth mentioning at all, after all, she still had several methods that she hadn't used.

Thinking this way, a trace of arrogance reappeared on Li Qianyun's face.

But what she couldn't imagine was that Chen Tian had only used 30% of his strength just now. From beginning to end, Chen Tian had not used his full strength to compete with her!

Of course, these were all thoughts in their minds, and neither of them could guess the other's thoughts.

At this time, after looking at Chen Tian and then turning to look at Li Qianyun, He Busi suddenly revealed a helpless wry smile on his face!
