Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“So, Senior Ning, tell us, who do you think is best suited to be sacrificed?”

After a long period of silence and stalemate, Cao Fangcun suddenly grinned and broke the silence.

Hearing his words, the middle-aged beautiful woman's face turned gloomy. With a flick of her left hand, a delicate lady's round fan appeared in her palm, and she made a gesture to charge at Cao Fangcun.

She was extremely frustrated. Cao Fangcun was treating them like monkeys!

Before entering, Cao Fangcun had been incredibly respectful, treating them like his own parents. However, after entering, Cao Fangcun's attitude had undergone a tremendous change, and his words were filled with arrogance.

Although everyone had already sensed something was wrong at that time, they suppressed their discomfort, thinking of the temptation of the Heavenly Dao Spring, and followed Cao Fangcun to this final level.

But at this moment, Cao Fangcun finally tore off all his pretense, revealing a ferocious face that looked like it would devour people!

Thinking of this, everyone was both angry and very remorseful.

They blamed themselves in their hearts, how could they have mistakenly trusted Cao Fangcun and ended up in this situation?

Obviously, from the beginning, Cao Fangcun had not regarded them as companions, but only as sacrifices he had casually gathered for this moment.

This was the greatest insult to them, and a huge contempt for a late-stage Core Formation Realm cultivator. Although the middle-aged beautiful woman was a woman, she would never swallow this breath.

Thinking like this, the middle-aged beautiful woman's killing intent surged. She slowly raised the round fan in her hand, intending to fight Cao Fangcun to the death.

But at this moment, the gray-robed old man suddenly stepped forward and blocked her, shaking his head at her with a gloomy expression, as if to advise her not to be impulsive.

Seeing this scene, although the middle-aged beautiful woman was angry, she ultimately put the round fan back.

The gray-robed old man breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and stared at Cao Fangcun, saying, "Young Master Cao, we are not fools. Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to hide. Just say what you have to say, and we will listen."

"Haha, good! As expected, Senior Ning is the most sensible, unlike some people who only seek their own death!"

After Cao Fangcun clapped his hands and praised, his gaze wandered to the middle-aged beautiful woman. In fact, he had already prepared himself. Once the middle-aged beautiful woman dared to make a move, then Cao Da and Cao Cuo would rush out in an instant and take her down with lightning speed.

At that time, whether she lived or died would not be up to the middle-aged beautiful woman herself to decide.

Fortunately, the gray-robed old man was alert enough to know that with their strength, they could not compete with the Cao family, so he stopped her before she could act.

Sighing, the gray-robed old man looked at Cao Fangcun again, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Meijiao Niang and Fellow Daoist Pusuanzi are both my close friends. I was the one who persuaded them to join in the first place, so I must ensure their safety. Otherwise, even if I give up this old life, I will give some people some painful lessons!"

Although the gray-robed old man also used 'some people' as a substitute, its meaning was already very clear. These words were directed at Cao Fangcun, intended to warn him not to push people too far!

Hearing this, Pusuanzi, who was beside him, also showed a bit of sorrow on his face. He understood that the three of them no longer had any initiative. Their life or death was determined by Cao Fangcun. And all they could do now was to try to save their lives. As for the others, they couldn't care so much.

In other words, they had already acquiesced to being sacrifices and offering half of their essence blood, but at the same time, they wanted Cao Fangcun to promise them that after the matter was completed, he would not kill them all, but would leave them with a life!

Cao Fangcun was a smart man, and he quickly understood the meaning. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly nodded, "Three fellow Daoists, please rest assured, as long as you agree to offer half of your essence blood, then our Cao family will definitely thank you with generous gifts, and the Heavenly Dao Spring that we promised you before will not be reduced by a single drop. I, Cao Fangcun, can guarantee this with my life!"

As he said that, Cao Fangcun raised three fingers and pointed to the sky, making a vow.

"Is this true?" Hearing Cao Fangcun's words, the gray-robed old man, who had been looking dejected, suddenly showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true!" Cao Fangcun nodded with a smile, then said again, "It's just that… you also know that with your current lifespan, if you can't make a breakthrough in the short term, then your vitality will be exhausted, and you will die of old age. At that time, you can only turn into a handful of soil and be forever silent in the years. It's really sad and lamentable!"

Speaking of the end, Cao Fangcun deliberately sighed and showed a distressed look.

The three people were greatly shocked when they heard this.

Indeed, with their current situation, it was already very difficult to make a breakthrough. Only by using the spring water of the Heavenly Dao Spring could they have a chance to step into the Perfect Foundation Realm.

And the reason why they agreed to Cao Fangcun's request to come here was for these Heavenly Dao Spring water.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, what reason could they have to refuse?

Thinking of this, the three people's originally hesitant faces suddenly became firm, as if they had made a decision in their hearts.

After a moment of silence, the gray-robed old man looked up at Cao Fangcun and slowly asked, "Young Master Cao, is it true that after we agree, you will really share the Heavenly Dao Spring with us?"

"That's natural!" Cao Fangcun also said with a face full of joy: "As long as you are willing to offer half of your essence blood, I will fulfill my previous promise and share the Heavenly Dao Spring water with you, and I will never go back on my word."

"Alright then, we three will help with this!" After hearing Cao Fangcun's repeated guarantees, the gray-robed old man closed his eyes and sighed.

To be honest, making this decision was a shame for them, but now they were already out of their control, and they had no choice but to agree.

And after hearing this, Cao Fangcun's expression couldn't help but be ecstatic again!
