Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Not to hide it from you, Sect Leader, just now we heard a earth-shattering sound coming from outside the mountain gate. Because we were worried that a powerful enemy was attacking, we came out of seclusion in advance.” Old Ancestor Motian said respectfully, answering quickly:

“That's right, that's right.” As soon as Old Ancestor Motian finished speaking, Han Wuming chimed in from the side, “It's just that after Old Mo and I went out to patrol, we didn't find even a ghost. So we rushed back, and just then, Han Gui came to report that you wanted to see us. We didn't dare to delay, so we rushed over immediately.”

After saying that, both Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian felt depressed. When they were in seclusion, they suddenly sensed the entire Phoenix Cry Mountain trembling. They thought Elder Qingsong was leading the Wuying Hall in a large-scale attack, which scared them into breaking through their seclusion.

However, after the two of them patrolled around the mountain gate, they strangely discovered that the surroundings were unusually quiet. Not to mention enemies, they couldn't even see a ghost. Faced with such a strange situation, they both felt confused.

After Chen Tian heard their words, he couldn't help but smile slightly. Of course, they didn't know that the commotion just now was actually caused by Chen Tian taking out the Yu Li Fruit.

“Forget it, let's not mention this matter for now. It's good that you're here. I have a few things I need to tell you.” Chen Tian stood up and said to the two of them.

“Sharing the Sect Leader's worries is the duty of subordinates. Sect Leader, just give your orders. We will definitely obey.” Old Ancestor Motian was always cautious, especially after seeing Chen Tian's strength. He became even more respectful. Therefore, he dared not neglect Chen Tian's instructions in any way.

“I… I am too! No matter what the Sect Leader asks me to do, I, Han Wuming, will not have any complaints!” Han Wuming, not wanting to be outdone, hurriedly said ingratiatingly.

Speaking of which, Han Wuming had recently felt a very serious sense of crisis. He saw Chen Tian becoming more and more fond of Old Ancestor Motian, and he was afraid of losing Chen Tian's favor as a result. Therefore, he became even more diligent, wanting to regain his position in Chen Tian's heart.

Faced with the appearance of these two people vying for favor, Chen Tian was happy to see it. After all, this would save him a lot of trouble.

Just then, a graceful figure suddenly floated in from outside the door, secretly hiding in the corner, not daring to come in.

Chen Tian frowned when he saw this and said loudly, “Is that Su Yingxue? Don't hide, come in.”

As soon as he finished speaking, that pretty figure walked out from behind the bamboo door and appeared in front of everyone. It was Su Yingxue.

Twenty years had passed since they last met, and Su Yingxue had become even more beautiful. Her figure was exquisite and well-proportioned, gradually maturing from a young apple. A touch of charm involuntarily appeared between her eyebrows.

However, what surprised Chen Tian was that although this woman was getting more and more beautiful, a trace of melancholy was hidden in her expression.

Since coming in, Su Yingxue had been silent, her fingers intertwined, as if she had something on her mind.

Looking at her tangled appearance, Chen Tian frowned and said, “Tell me, what is the matter that you have come here for?”

Since breaking through to the middle stage of the凝海境, Chen Tian's aura had become even sharper. Although this sentence was not loud, it shook Su Yingxue's heart when she heard it. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she quickly said, “I haven't seen Sister Qin for twenty years. I don't know how she is now. Brother Chen, can you let me see Sister Qin?”

As soon as Su Yingxue finished speaking, Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian, who were standing on the side, also hurriedly raised their heads and looked at Chen Tian, their eyes full of anticipation.

Indeed, since Chen Tian came to this bamboo house, the three of them had not seen Qin Yi's figure. They didn't know how she was now.

Chen Tian looked at the curious gazes of the three of them and sighed helplessly in his heart, smiling bitterly, “Actually, even if you didn't ask, I would have told you. Because the reason I called you here this time is for Qin Yi's matter. Okay, follow me in.”

Chen Tian's expression was low. After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the main room where Qin Yi was.

After hearing Chen Tian's words, the three of them were stunned, as if they had thought of something, and quickly followed.

Just as they walked into the main room, they saw Qin Yi lying on the bamboo bed, sleeping soundly.

When Su Yingxue saw this, she felt her whole body spinning. She quickly rushed over and lay beside Qin Yi, shouting, “Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Xue'er! Wake up… wake up!”

While Su Yingxue was looking sad, Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian looked at each other, and both saw endless shock in each other's expressions.

“Okay, don't be too sad. Qin Yi is just asleep now. At least for twenty years, she won't have any problems.” Chen Tian stepped forward, helped up Su Yingxue, who was crying loudly, and said softly.

However, after hearing this sentence, Su Yingxue seemed even more anxious, pulling on Chen Tian's sleeve and asking, “Brother Chen, what does it mean that nothing will happen within twenty years? What will happen after twenty years?”

After hearing this, Old Ancestor Motian seemed to understand something and immediately took a step forward, asking, “In that case, does Sect Leader already have a method to save her?”

“I do know a method.” Chen Tian nodded and said, “However, before that, I have to go out first. And the reason I called you here is for this matter.”

“Sect Leader doesn't need to say more. This old man already knows. Don't worry, during the time you are away, this old man will do his best to protect the Immortal Demon Sect and Miss Qin, and not let anyone come to disturb her.” Before Chen Tian could speak, Old Ancestor Motian seemed to have guessed his intentions and hurriedly guaranteed.

“Yes, I am also willing to work with Old Mo to protect the Immortal Demon Sect and Miss Qin with our lives.” Han Wuming also stated his position at this time.

“Very good, with these words from you, I can rest assured.” Looking at the loyal appearances of these two, Chen Tian smiled with satisfaction. Then he turned to Su Yingxue and asked, “What about you, do you have anything else you want to say?”
