Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Without He Busi noticing, the gray-robed old man suddenly took out seven bells from his sleeve. After injecting each with a wisp of spiritual power, he waved his hand and threw the bells towards He Busi.

These bells grew larger as they met the wind, and soon became as large as millstones, quickly flying to He Busi's side.

"Ding ding dang dang… Ding ding dang dang… Ding ding dang dang… Ding ding dang dang…"

As the seven bells flew around He Busi, they immediately began to shake, and a magical, bizarre sound emanated from within.

These demonic sounds were very peculiar and incredibly powerful. When He Busi heard them, they stirred up the sorrowful emotions deep within his memory, creating illusions in his mind that caused him to pause in his movements.

At this moment, He Busi seemed to be trapped in a dream. The events he had encountered throughout his years of cultivation melted like ink, replaying the sad past he didn't want to remember in his mind.

He Busi recalled the moment when his master, who had taken him in and raised him since childhood, died and dissolved into spiritual energy. He had cried very sadly at that time.

He Busi recalled the first powerful opponent who had pushed him to the brink of despair. The feeling of invincible fear instantly spread, causing his body to tremble…

"My Seven Brilliance Bells can stimulate the hidden sorrow and fear in people's hearts. Those with unstable minds will surely be driven mad upon hearing the sound of the Seven Brilliance Bells! Hmph, I thought you were so powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so easily controlled by my Seven Brilliance Bells! Watch how I slowly torture you to death!"

It turned out that the seven bells the gray-robed old man had taken out were a celestial-grade magical treasure called the Seven Brilliance Bells, capable of producing hypnotic sounds that stirred up the negative emotions deep within people's hearts.

Those who fell under the spell of the Seven Brilliance Bells would often be trapped in their own memories, bewildered by the sad and terrifying events they had experienced, thus losing their ability to resist.

It had to be said that the Seven Brilliance Bells were a good treasure for killing both body and soul!

Of course, if used against someone with a particularly strong will, the effectiveness of the Seven Brilliance Bells would be greatly diminished. The gray-robed old man had originally only wanted to use the Seven Brilliance Bells to hinder He Busi's attack, but he didn't expect He Busi to be completely trapped in the illusion created by the Seven Brilliance Bells, unable to extricate himself.

This surprised the gray-robed old man, and he also felt a hint of delight.

Although some senior brothers from the Dragon Court Pavilion arrived later and joined forces to kill the Peerless City Lord, the humiliation at that time had caused great damage to He Busi's self-esteem. Later, he buried this memory deep in his heart, never wanting to recall it again for hundreds of years.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, under the impact of the Seven Brilliance Bells' demonic sound, the memory that made He Busi feel ashamed resurfaced, causing He Busi to sweat profusely!

Just as he was trembling, the gray-robed old man's sword was only three zhang away from his body!

"Brother He, the past is gone, why do you still think about it? Do you plan to be imprisoned in the cage of memory for the rest of your life!"

Just at this critical moment, a sound like thunder suddenly exploded in He Busi's ears.

Hearing this sound, He Busi trembled as if enlightened. The fear in his mind receded like a tide, making his turbid eyes clear again.

Just as He Busi regained consciousness, he suddenly saw the gray-robed old man flying towards him with his sword, about to stab him in the next moment! Greatly shocked, he immediately bit his lip and spat out a mouthful of his vital essence blood, and his hands danced rapidly, using this essence blood to carve a complex array in the air.

"Buzz…"

As soon as this blood array formed, it burst out with an unparalleled wave of energy, rushing towards the gray-robed old man like a tsunami.

This blood array contained about half of He Busi's spiritual power, so when it suddenly erupted, it was like a storm, blowing the gray-robed old man's figure unsteady, and finally abandoning the idea of assassinating He Busi, retreating back.

"Eh!"

Just as he stabilized his figure, the gray-robed old man couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, but his gaze was not on He Busi, but fixed on Chen Tian on the side!

The gray-robed old man had seen very clearly just now that when He Busi was trapped in an illusion and unable to extricate himself, it was Chen Tian who suddenly burst out with a shocking sound, summoning He Busi's mind back and helping him resolve this crisis.

The gray-robed old man glanced sideways and found that the seven bells in the sky were still making 'ding ding dang dang' demonic sounds. Although He Busi had woken up, he still needed to expend a lot of spiritual power to resist bitterly, and his face was full of pain.

But looking at Chen Tian again, he saw that his face was calm, his hands behind his back, without any sign of being disturbed. On the contrary, he seemed to be strolling leisurely, and there was even a faint mocking smile on the corner of his mouth!

Seeing Chen Tian's appearance, the gray-robed old man was shocked!
