Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Upon hearing this sudden voice, Junior Brother He and Senior Brother Wu were immediately startled. Junior Brother He, in particular, lost his previous arrogance and prestige, resembling a frightened kitten. With a 'thump,' he knelt down, clutching his head and begging for mercy, "I was wrong! I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again. I hope this senior brother is generous and forgives me this once!"

Senior Brother Wu, on the other hand, resembled a frightened bird, immediately distancing himself from Junior Brother He, his face filled with despair, "Senior Brother, please be the judge! All those words were spoken by Junior Brother He. They have nothing to do with me! If there's a punishment, punish him alone! I'm innocent! Senior Brother, please be the judge!"

Senior Brother Wu's words naturally aroused dissatisfaction in Junior Brother He's heart. What kind of person was this, trying to push all the responsibility onto him!

However, there was no way around it. Those words were indeed spoken by him, and he was the one who cursed the master as 'senile.' He couldn't escape this responsibility no matter what.

Thinking of this, Junior Brother He sighed helplessly and lowered his head in silence. As for Senior Brother Wu, he hid far away, filled with fear and apprehension.

Seeing their cowardly appearances, the voice was silent for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter: "Haha... Look at you two pathetic creatures, haha... You're really killing me with laughter... Junior Brother He, weren't you always boasting that you feared nothing? Why are you like a kitten now, so scared that you're about to wet yourself?"

"Hmm? That voice... Could it be Senior Brother Zhang?"

Hearing this burst of laughter, Junior Brother He and Senior Brother Wu's previously panicked moods suddenly calmed down. As if realizing something, they turned their heads in unison, looking in the direction the voice came from.

They saw a dazzling light suddenly flashing about ten zhang behind them, and within this light, a tall and upright figure suddenly appeared.

This person had a handsome appearance and a refined demeanor, wearing a blue robe that swayed gently in the breeze. Since his appearance, he had been looking at the two with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Hey, I wondered who it was. It's really Senior Brother Zhang!"

After clearly seeing the person's appearance, Junior Brother He, who was kneeling on the ground, and Senior Brother Wu, who was hiding in the distance, both breathed a sigh of relief, put away the terrified expressions on their faces, and respectfully bowed to this person, saying in unison, "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhang!"

"Alright, get up." As if very familiar with the two, the handsome man called Senior Brother Zhang nodded gently.

Hearing this voice, the two stood up, chuckling. However, at this moment, Junior Brother He seemed to suddenly think of something and asked in a low voice, "By the way, Senior Brother Zhang, you won't report what happened just now to the master, will you?"

It turned out that Junior Brother He was still a little worried, looking at the handsome man with a nervous expression.

Seeing his appearance, Senior Brother Zhang smiled again and shook his head: "Put your heart at ease. What kind of relationship do we have? Would I do something that betrays you?"

"Hehe, that's good to hear! Since we joined the sect, Senior Brother Zhang has always taken care of us. If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhang, I wouldn't be where I am today, so I believe Senior Brother Zhang would never do that! Unlike someone else, who only knows how to run away after something happens, without any demeanor of a senior brother!"

When he said the latter half of the sentence, Junior Brother He glanced sideways at Senior Brother Wu beside him.

Sensing Junior Brother He's gaze, Senior Brother Wu's cheeks flushed red, and he was a little embarrassed and at a loss.

Senior Brother Zhang saw all of this, shook his head with a wry smile, and spoke to smooth things over: "Alright, this matter can't be blamed on Junior Brother Wu. Junior Brother He, your loose tongue isn't a matter of just one or two days. If you don't change this bad habit, I'm really worried that one day, you'll cause a great disaster because of it! Like today, if it wasn't me who came, but someone else, then what would be the consequences? You two understand in your hearts, right?"

At the end, Senior Brother Zhang put away his previous kind expression, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, sweeping over the two.

Hearing this, the two shuddered, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, as if extremely frightened, and lowered their heads in unison, saying, "Senior Brother Zhang, please don't blame us. We know we were wrong."

"Ah, forget it, forget it. Let's not mention this matter. I only hope that you two will be more careful in the future." Looking at the two trembling, Senior Brother Zhang sighed and withdrew the aura he had released, admonishing them.

The two naturally dared not neglect, and respectfully agreed again.

However, at this moment, Junior Brother He seemed to think of something and asked in confusion, "By the way, Senior Brother Zhang, weren't you always protecting the master? Why did you suddenly come to this remote Immortal Fruit Forest today?"

"Ah, don't mention it. This morning, the master suddenly said that a distinguished guest was coming and ordered me to come and fetch a Shen Immortal Fruit. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to your place." Hearing this, Senior Brother Zhang seemed extremely helpless and said with a wry smile.

"What? Shen Immortal Fruit?" However, after hearing Senior Brother Zhang's words, the two were immediately shocked.

They had been stationed in this Immortal Fruit Forest for almost two years and naturally knew the preciousness of this Shen Immortal Fruit.

Although there were more than a thousand different kinds of immortal fruits in this Immortal Fruit Forest, the most valuable one was the Shen Immortal Fruit.

It should be known that the Shen Immortal Fruit has been one of the most famous immortal fruits in the world since ancient times. Their master had gone through untold hardships and countless tribulations to find it in an ancient ruin. The entire Qian Yuan Continent only had this Shen Immortal Fruit in their Gan Quan Palace, which was a rare treasure in the world!

Moreover, the growth of this Shen Immortal Fruit was also very difficult. It only bore fruit once every thousand years, and each time it bore no more than ten fruits. Even in order to promote fruit ripening, their master even used his own essence blood to feed it!

And after bearing fruit ten times, this Shen Immortal Fruit would rot and could no longer bear fruit.

In other words, a Shen Immortal Fruit tree could only bear less than one hundred fruits in ten thousand years!

Thinking of this, even more doubts surged into the hearts of the two!
