Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Having followed Chen Tian for many years, both Old Ancestor Motian and Han Wuming had become familiar with Chen Tian's style through subtle influence.

Therefore, when they saw the icy smile appear on Chen Tian's face, they instantly knew what he was thinking.

Han Wuming need not be mentioned; he had long been fed up with Elder Qingsong's provocations. If it weren't for Chen Tian's obstruction, he would have already charged up to their doorstep alone.

So, now that he understood Chen Tian's determination, he immediately licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a cold light, looking extremely eager.

Although Old Ancestor Motian was equally resentful, compared to Han Wuming, his mind was more meticulous, and his perspective on problems was more comprehensive.

After some thought, he seemed to have thought of something, frowned, and whispered to Chen Tian, "Sect Master, although the Martial Hero Hall has suffered a great loss of strength after more than ten years of internal strife, as the saying goes, a centipede dies but never falls down completely. If we rashly attack, I'm afraid we might be bitten back. At that time, our Immortal Demon Sect will be greatly weakened. This point must be carefully considered."

"Old Mo is right. Although I also can't stand that damn Martial Hero Hall, I have to admit that their strength is far above our Immortal Demon Sect. If we compare ourselves to a snake, then the Martial Hero Hall is an elephant deeply mired in a swamp, about to die. Although we have the opportunity to swallow it, if we're not careful, we might burst our bellies. This is indeed a bit dangerous." Having been with Chen Tian and Old Ancestor Motian for a long time, Han Wuming had naturally learned a thing or two. At this time, he also saw the advantages and disadvantages clearly, and after weighing them, he said worriedly.

Chen Tian couldn't help but take a deep look at Han Wuming after hearing his words, as if he was seeing him for the first time.

However, after withdrawing his gaze, Chen Tian nodded with satisfaction. After all, it was a relief for him if Han Wuming could use his brain more.

Looking at their slightly worried expressions, Chen Tian first smiled slightly, and then said unhurriedly, "I naturally know that the Martial Hero Hall's power is very large, so I didn't ask you to rush to succeed and swallow it in one gulp. After all, sometimes, savoring it slowly allows you to taste the flavors in between."

As he said this, a thick playful look appeared on Chen Tian's face!

After seeing Chen Tian's appearance, Old Ancestor Motian carefully pondered for a moment and immediately understood the deeper meaning, saying, "Sect Master, do you mean that we should start from the periphery and slowly encroach on the entire Martial Hero Hall in an encirclement?"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Chen Tian nodded with a smile, which was considered a default.

However, the reason why they had not taken action for so many years was because they were wary of the risk of being stabbed in the back by other forces.

After all, the leading bird gets shot. Others would not just watch you monopolize such a good thing.

If those sects united to counterattack you at that time, then it would really be a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.

And what Old Ancestor Motian was worried about was precisely this. The method of slowly nibbling from the periphery was indeed a good strategy, and it would not cause indigestion. However, doing so would take a very long time, which might make some sects jealous and come to snatch territory from you.

At that time, the risks faced by the Immortal Demon Sect would instantly increase. And in recent decades, although the strength of the Immortal Demon Sect had greatly increased under the leadership of Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian, it was not yet capable of single-handedly challenging the entire cultivation world.

Therefore, this point had to be guarded against.

Han Wuming deeply agreed with Old Ancestor Motian's worries, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

However, Chen Tian suddenly chuckled as he looked at the two of them, and said, "Since I brought up such a method, I have naturally considered this issue. Don't worry, I already have an idea about this matter, you don't need to worry."

"What? Is this true?" Old Ancestor Motian was originally deeply troubled, but after hearing Chen Tian's words, he immediately became excited and asked excitedly.

Chen Tian smiled without saying a word when he saw this, and then with a flick of his sleeve, several jade slips shot out from his sleeve, suspended in front of Old Ancestor Motian and Han Wuming.

"Sect Master? What are these?"

Looking at these jade slips floating in front of them, the two seemed quite puzzled. After some surprise, Old Ancestor Motian asked.

"These are all favors!" Chen Tian's smile remained unchanged after hearing this, but he gave such a strange answer.

"Ah? Favors?" Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian were obviously shocked by Chen Tian's words, and both showed a strong look of incomprehension.

However, Chen Tian didn't want to explain anything at this time, but just ordered indifferently, "Starting tomorrow, you select a few trusted disciples and send these jade slips to the residences of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, the Frozen Demon Realm, the Hailan Sect, and the Dragon Court Pavilion respectively. Just say that they are greeting letters I wrote to them. After they read them, they will naturally understand."

"Greeting letters?"

Han Wuming and Old Ancestor Motian seemed to be getting more and more confused by Chen Tian's words, but they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After saying 'Yes' in unison, they put away these jade slips.

In fact, Chen Tian was not wrong. What was recorded in these jade slips were all favors. Favors that these forces owed Chen Tian before!

Take the Hailan Sect and the Cao family as examples. Chen Tian killed the Feilin Eight Fiends for one, and Chen Tian helped them find the Heavenly Dao Spring for the other. Correspondingly, they also owed Chen Tian a favor for this!

In the world of cultivation, what is the most expensive? It's not elixirs, nor magic weapons, but favors!

From the moment he set foot in the world of cultivation, Chen Tian had been painstakingly managing and successfully making these forces owe him a favor, all for this moment.

Chen Tian knew that besides their Immortal Demon Sect, there were many other forces eyeing the fat of the Martial Hero Hall. If he didn't give them some deterrence first, then it would be impossible for the Immortal Demon Sect to swallow the Martial Hero Hall. And Chen Tian's request to these sects at this time was to let them exert pressure in secret and support the Immortal Demon Sect to take over all the forces of the Martial Hero Hall. Chen Tian was very confident that no one would dare to disagree with his request.

And once he successfully swallowed the Martial Hero Hall, then the strength of the Immortal Demon Sect would inevitably double again, thereby replacing the Martial Hero Hall and rising to become one of the top ten super sects in the cultivation world.

This is Chen Tian's true ambition!
