Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Hmm? Fellow Daoist Nalan, what do you mean by this?”

Hearing the burly man's words, filled with bleak killing intent, the graceful and beautiful woman frowned slightly and asked, puzzled.

“Hehe, it's very simple.” The burly man revealed a cruel smile and continued, “You all saw it just now, this kid is full of tricks. Although he submits to us on the surface, I'm afraid he's secretly plotting something. Besides, today's matter of us obtaining the Immortal Power must be kept strictly confidential. If it is known by other old monsters in the Sky Building Realm, it will probably attract their jealousy and contention. Therefore, only by killing this kid and completely shutting his mouth can we live in peace in the future.”

It turned out that this burly man, in order to guard the secret of the Immortal Power, had once again developed murderous intentions towards Chen Tian.

“Isn't that a bit bad?” However, after learning of his thoughts, the graceful and beautiful woman still seemed somewhat hesitant, “After all, we already promised to let him go just now, and now to go back on our word, wouldn't that be too much?”

Having said that, the graceful and beautiful woman turned her head and looked towards the red-robed old man.

At the same time, the burly man also focused his gaze on the red-robed old man, his eyes gloomy, “Fellow Daoist Long Yu, you should also speak your mind. Should we let him go, or kill him? We will defer to your opinion!”

While the two were arguing, the red-robed old man remained silent, his expression gloomy, as if he were thinking about something. It wasn't until both of their gazes turned towards him that the red-robed old man seemed to have made a choice. He first sighed, but quickly, his expression gradually turned gloomy: “Regarding this matter, I also agree with Fellow Daoist Nalan's opinion. This Immortal Power is extremely important to us and must not be known by anyone. And the best way to keep the secret is to make everyone who knows about it unable to speak forever!”

The red-robed old man's opinion undoubtedly sealed the deal. And he had already made it very clear that if they wanted to make Chen Tian unable to speak forever, then the best way was to kill him completely. After all, in this world, only the mouths of the dead are the most tight-lipped.

After hearing the decisions of the red-robed old man and the burly man, the graceful and beautiful woman no longer said anything. After all, people who have cultivated to their level have long abandoned all emotions. In their hearts, there is no good or evil, only eternal利益 (lìyì, benefit/interest).

At this time, Chen Tian had already been lured by them, and it was a great opportunity to kill him. Therefore, the three unanimously decided to take advantage of Chen Tian's unpreparedness to kill him quickly, so as to ensure that this secret would never be spread.

Since the decision had been made, the group no longer hesitated. After quickly discussing it, the red-robed old man flew forward a zhang, smiling at Chen Tian in the distance: “Little friend, why don't you come over here for a moment?”

It turned out that this red-robed old man planned to first lure Chen Tian over, and then gather the power of the three to quickly kill Chen Tian with lightning speed!

From the beginning, although Chen Tian appeared to be following the red-robed old man's instructions, hovering a thousand zhang away to protect everyone, in his heart, he had been closely monitoring the movements of the three.

So when he heard the red-robed old man's summons, Chen Tian put on a puzzled look, turned around, and asked in confusion: “Senior summoned me, is there something you need?”

“Oh, it's like this. We have already found that treasure. The opportunity is rare, and we want to invite you to observe it together, which can also be regarded as a reward for your protection for us.” The red-robed old man still said with a smile, then he moved his body to the side, revealing the red jade slip that was quietly suspended in mid-air.

After seeing this jade slip, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Chen Tian's eyes, but soon, his eyes were replaced by bursts of cold light.

Chen Tian was not a fool. Of course, he could see that these people definitely had bad intentions. Presumably, if he went, he would only be sending a lamb into the tiger's mouth.

After sneering in his heart for a while, the playful look on Chen Tian's face became more and more intense, but he just didn't move and remained in place.

Seeing Chen Tian's appearance, the three were puzzled. They originally thought that after throwing out such a big bait, Chen Tian would definitely rush over excitedly, but to their surprise, at this time, Chen Tian not only did not move for a long time, but instead stood still, smiling coldly at them with a strange expression.

The smile on Chen Tian's face was extremely strange, and when the three saw it, they felt chills.

After a pause, the red-robed old man spoke again: “Little friend, what do you mean by this? Why don't you come over here?”

“Oh, it's nothing.” The cold smile on Chen Tian's face continued, but he still had no intention of moving, but instead asked the red-robed old man: “Actually, this junior has always had something in his heart that he wants to ask all the seniors. As long as you can answer it, then this junior will go over.”

“Question?”

Hearing Chen Tian's inexplicable words, the three were at a loss.

However, in order to avoid alarming the snake, the red-robed old man still nodded with a smile on his face: “Okay, little friend, feel free to ask any questions you have. As long as we know, we will definitely tell you everything!”

“Then thank you, senior.” Chen Tian cupped his hands remotely from a thousand zhang away, but immediately afterwards, his face instantly turned cold, and his tone was gloomy: “This junior's question is very simple, I just want to ask all the seniors, have you ever tasted... the taste of death?”

“Ah?”

Hearing Chen Tian's sudden question, the three who were originally smiling were stunned?

What is the 'taste of death?'

What is Chen Tian talking about?

One by one, doubts lingered in everyone's minds, causing these Sky Building Realm cultivators with profound cultivation to be stunned in place, at a loss.

However, in contrast, the playful look on Chen Tian's face had reached its extreme. He only heard him say in a gloomy tone: “Power of Heavenly Tribulation, explode!”

Although Chen Tian's voice was extremely small, these words still quickly crossed the distance of a thousand zhang and reached everyone's ears.

At this moment, the jade slip that was originally quietly suspended in mid-air suddenly flashed with thousands of red lights. At the same time, a vast and terrifying power that made people feel frightened was released from the jade slip and shot into the sky!

Under the illumination of this red light, a blood-red thundercloud immediately gathered in the sky.

And within this thundercloud, red lightning bolts, like dragons emerging from the sea, were constantly tumbling and dancing among the clouds! A wave of pressure that made these Sky Building Realm cultivators tremble was released from the thundercloud and pressed down on their heads.

“Not good, we've been tricked!”

At this moment, the red-robed old man seemed to understand something and shouted loudly. Then, he no longer cared about the jade slip, turned around, and ran outwards.

Seeing this, the graceful and beautiful woman and the burly man were also shocked. Although they had not had time to understand what was going on, they also followed closely behind the red-robed old man and fled frantically into the distance.

But when Chen Tian saw this scene, the cold smile that emerged from the corner of his mouth became even more terrifying!
