Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader. I’m almost fully recovered. With a little more recuperation, I’ll be fine.” Hearing Chen Tian's inquiry, Old Ancestor Motian didn't dare to be disrespectful. He hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully.

However, after saying this, he seemed to have thought of something. A look of grief and indignation appeared on his face as he said, “It’s just that those Immortal Demon Sect disciples who died in battle can never come back to life!”

“Hmm?” Chen Tian frowned upon hearing this, his expression also turning gloomy. He said coldly, “How many disciples died in total this time?”

“Reporting to the Sect Leader, after these past few years of development by me and Elder Zuo, we had recruited 1,100 disciples. However, after this battle, only 750 remain,” Han Wuming hurriedly answered before Chen Tian could speak further.

“That’s right.” Old Ancestor Motian nodded in agreement, adding, “Furthermore, nearly half of the remaining disciples were injured in this battle. If you, Sect Leader, hadn’t returned in time, I fear the casualties would have been even more severe.”

“What? Over three hundred disciples died?” Hearing their reports, a cold light suddenly flashed in Chen Tian's calm eyes. He said icily, “I will make the Wuying Hall pay for this debt, doubled!”

“Hmph, if I don’t avenge this, I swear I’m not a man!” Han Wuming also appeared extremely indignant, gnashing his teeth as he said, “That Elder Qingsong and the Wuying Hall’s turtle sons, I will definitely make them pay for their blood debts in the future!”

This attack planned by Wuying Hall had instantly wiped out most of the power that the Immortal Demon Sect had painstakingly accumulated. How could this not make everyone furious!

Old Ancestor Motian was equally angry, but he was, after all, mature and prudent. After a sigh, he said, “Although this matter is hateful, we cannot dwell too much on sorrow. What’s more important is the future! This old man feels that only by developing and strengthening our Immortal Demon Sect will we have the strength to avenge today’s humiliation!”

“Senior Motian is right. What’s past is past, and we shouldn’t be too saddened by it.” Chen Tian also quite agreed with Old Ancestor Motian's point of view, affirming it. Just then, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly said, “Right, speaking of our Immortal Demon Sect's future development, the reason I called you here this time is to discuss this matter.”

As he spoke, Chen Tian waved his right hand, and two storage pouches, glittering with crystalline light, flew out from his sleeves and were placed in front of Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian.

“Sect Leader, what is this?”

Looking at the two storage pouches that Chen Tian had taken out, Old Ancestor Motian looked suspicious.

Hearing this, Chen Tian's lips curled into a strange smile. He smiled and said, “Why don’t you open them and take a look first.”

“Hmm?”

Seeing Chen Tian's deliberately mysterious appearance, Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian both felt a little strange, but they didn't think too much about it. Each of them picked up a storage pouch, separated a strand of spiritual sense, and drilled into it to investigate.

However, after just glancing inside, the two people's originally calm expressions instantly turned into violent, raging waves. Their eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

“Twenty million immortal crystals, ten thousand high-grade spiritual pills, one hundred Xuan-grade spiritual pills, two immortal-grade spiritual pills, what a generous gift.” Han Wuming was holding the storage pouch sent by the Hailan Sect. In extreme surprise, he silently recited the items placed inside.

The storage pouch in Old Ancestor Motian's hand was sent by the Longting Pavilion, and the items placed inside were almost the same as those from the Hailan Sect, except for one additional immortal-grade spiritual pill.

It could be said that such a gift was already extremely generous in the cultivation world, and it was enough to prove the Hailan Sect and Longting Pavilion's courtesy towards Chen Tian.

“Sect Leader, why would they send such a generous gift for no reason?” Old Ancestor Motian had been seriously injured before, so he didn't know about Chen Tian's deeds, so he asked with a surprised expression.

Hearing this, Han Wuming's face immediately showed a hint of smugness as he said, “Old Mo, you don’t know yet, do you? Our Sect Leader is Yang Ming, who has recently caused a sensation throughout the entire cultivation world.”

“What? That Yang Ming is the Sect Leader?” Hearing Han Wuming's explanation, the surprise in Old Ancestor Motian's heart was no less than the generous gift in his hand.

However, after the shock, Old Ancestor Motian immediately understood many things.

Why the people from Hailan Sect and Longting Pavilion had suddenly come before, and why they had sent such a generous gift. It turned out that all of this was because Chen Tian was Yang Ming.

“Sect Leader, the Hailan Sect and Longting Pavilion sent such a generous gift, they must have something to ask for in return, right?” After regaining his thoughts, Old Ancestor Motian glanced at the storage pouch he was holding and asked Chen Tian suspiciously.

Chen Tian nodded lightly and said, “That’s right, I have already agreed to become an honorary elder of both of their families, and I guarantee to take action for them once when they need it.”

“Wonderful!” Hearing Chen Tian's words, Old Ancestor Motian immediately said excitedly, “In this way, we and the Hailan Sect and Longting Pavilion will be united as one. Even if the Wuying Hall has the audacity of the heavens, they would not dare to blatantly invade again. Our Immortal Demon Sect will have a period of peace to develop our strength.”

“Not bad, your comprehension is indeed very high.” Seeing that Old Ancestor Motian had understood his intentions in an instant, Chen Tian couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Tian suddenly said, “How about this, Senior Motian, from this moment on, I will promote you to the Vice Sect Leader of the Immortal Demon Sect. When I am not around, all the affairs of the sect, both big and small, will be decided by you!”

“Sect Leader, this must not be done. How can I be worthy of the position of Vice Sect Leader?” As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, Old Ancestor Motian immediately waved his hand, his face full of panic.

Seeing this, Chen Tian smiled slightly and said, “Senior Motian, don’t decline. I have seen everything you have done during this period of time. This position of Vice Sect Leader belongs to you.”

In the beginning, Chen Tian did not set up a Vice Sect Leader, but instead listed Old Ancestor Motian and Han Wuming as Left and Right Elders. The intention was because Chen Tian did not trust Old Ancestor Motian at that time, and wanted to take the opportunity to investigate him.

In these years, Old Ancestor Motian had devoted himself to the development of the Immortal Demon Sect, and he had even risked his life to protect the Immortal Demon Sect a few days ago, which made Chen Tian very moved.

So at this time, Chen Tian could safely promote him to the Vice Sect Leader of the Immortal Demon Sect, in charge of all affairs.

“Alright, since the Sect Leader is so kind, then I will no longer decline. Sect Leader, rest assured, from now on, I will definitely carry forward the Immortal Demon Sect and shock the world!” Looking at Chen Tian's trusting gaze, Old Ancestor Motian finally did not decline any longer, and swore to Chen Tian with a determined gaze.

Just at this moment, Han Wuming on the other side suddenly revealed a hint of displeasure.

Seeing this, Chen Tian smiled wryly helplessly!
