Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian had anticipated Zhan Tianlong's mockery, so he didn't reveal any overly shocked expression. Instead, he calmly said, "Senior Brother, we have no choice. After all, Senior Brother Zhang's injuries haven't healed, and he can't compete, so I have to fill in for him."

"You fill in?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Zhan Tianlong sized him up and down, then said with a sneer, "Humph, what are you? What qualifications do you have to fight me? Fine, since Zhang He can't compete, then we'll take it as your Three Souls Sect admitting defeat. This year, the Ghost Sect will still be victorious."

Zhan Tianlong smiled contemptuously, then turned around, wanting to walk back.

Although he was surprised that Chen Tian was able to defeat Hua Wanting, Chen Tian was still a Qi Activation stage disciple. In Zhan Tianlong's eyes, as long as he didn't break through to the Spirit Guiding stage, he would never be qualified to fight him.

Zhan Tianlong wouldn't lower himself to fight a Qi Activation stage disciple, because if word got out, it would only damage his reputation.

But just as Zhan Tianlong turned around, Chen Tian stood tall and said in a calm and unhurried tone, "Oh, Senior Brother Zhan, are you afraid of me and dare not fight me? No way, that's really disappointing."

As Chen Tian spoke, he shook his head, revealing an expression of incomparable regret.

Hearing his words, Zhan Tianlong, who had only taken a few steps, suddenly stopped. The relaxed smile on his face instantly froze, and his expression was like an iceberg that would never melt. He turned around gloomily, staring at Chen Tian, and said coldly, "Boy, say that again if you have the guts!"

It was obvious that Zhan Tianlong was enraged by Chen Tian's words. To say that a Spirit Guiding stage expert like him was afraid of Chen Tian, a Qi Activation stage cultivator, was simply a joke.

Moreover, not only Zhan Tianlong, but everyone in the Three Souls Sect was shocked.

They originally thought that Chen Tian's decision to replace Zhang He was to save Zhang He's face, so that he wouldn't be embarrassed in front of everyone. After all, the result would be a loss anyway, so it would be better to protect Zhang He and leave the Three Souls Sect with a sliver of face.

So, when they heard Zhan Tianlong say that the Three Souls Sect had lost and the Ghost Sect had won, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter had been settled.

Although they regretted the result, being able to protect Zhang He and Chen Tian from injury was a blessing in disguise.

However, just when everyone thought that the matter would end there, Chen Tian's next sentence stirred up the mood that had just settled down.

They never expected that Chen Tian would take the initiative to provoke Zhan Tianlong!

What exactly did Chen Tian want to do?

"Hey, did I hear that right? That kid is actually mocking our Senior Brother Zhan?"

"Heh heh, who does he think he is? Although he has cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Qi Activation stage, if he doesn't suddenly advance to the Spirit Guiding stage, how could he possibly win against Senior Brother Zhan?"

"Tsk tsk, I think this kid is going to be in big trouble."

The Ghost Sect was also stirred up by Chen Tian's words, but their faces were full of mockery.

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Zhan Tianlong couldn't help but be stunned. That's right, when the rules were made, it was only said that one of the matches must be fought by the two sects' chief disciples, but it was not stipulated whether the cultivation of these two people was at the Spirit Guiding stage.

It was only because the disciples of both sides in the final match had reached the Spirit Guiding stage in the past few decades that everyone had a false impression.

Thinking of this, Zhan Tianlong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered, "Boy, although the rules don't force it, do you really think that you can compete with me with your mere Qi Activation stage realm? I've already given you a great deal of face by agreeing to your forfeit. Don't push your luck!"

As he said this, two cold beams suddenly burst out from Zhan Tianlong's eyes, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts.

Seeing this, Zhang He couldn't help but panic and shouted at Chen Tian, "Junior Brother Chen, come back quickly! I've already figured it out. If we lose, we lose. We can always try again next year. As long as people are okay, everything is fine!"

Zhang He knew very well how big the gap between the Qi Activation stage and the Spirit Guiding stage was, so he didn't want Chen Tian to take the risk. After all, Chen Tian wasn't a member of their Three Souls Sect, but Elder Han's closed disciple. If something went wrong, Zhang He really didn't know how to explain it to Elder Han, so he seemed so panicked.

Hearing Zhang He's words, Chen Tian certainly knew that he was worried about him, but Chen Tian obviously had other plans in mind, so he turned to him with a slight smile and shook his head, "Senior Brother Zhang, when I stood on this stage, it has already become my business, so I have my own ideas. Please don't say any more."

Seeing that Chen Tian didn't listen to his advice, Zhang He panicked and was about to say something when Chen Tian took the initiative to interrupt him and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I know what you're worried about, but it doesn't matter. If something happens, it will be my fault. I won't report you, so let me make my own decision this time."

Zhang He felt helpless in his heart. He knew that Chen Tian was determined to fight Zhan Tianlong.

Since he couldn't persuade Chen Tian, Zhang He turned to Zhan Tianlong and shouted loudly, "Zhan Tianlong, I warn you, Junior Brother Chen is not an ordinary person. Don't hurt him severely, or I will risk my life to make you look good!"

Zhan Tianlong had been watching the conversation between the two of them from the beginning, so after hearing this sentence, a rather interested smile suddenly appeared on Zhan Tianlong's face, and he said, "Hehe, I didn't have the idea of fighting this kid, but since you said so, I might as well play with him. It's just that whether I use a heavy hand or a light hand will be up to me."

"You..." Zhang He was angered by Zhan Tianlong's words and pointed at him for a long time without saying a word.

However, after hearing that Zhan Tianlong agreed to the competition, a strange and intriguing smile suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's face.

It seemed that he had been planning something from the beginning.
