Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

In the southern end of the orchard, several Phoenix Blood Fruit trees were planted, rare and exotic fruits in their own right, yet they paled in comparison to the Shen Immortal Fruits.

At this moment, the Phoenix Blood Fruits were in their flowering season, their vibrant, blood-red blossoms densely covering the branches, resembling a blazing fire from afar.

This was an ordinary scene, but when Senior Brother Zhang's gaze swept over it, he suddenly detected an anomaly, causing his face to darken and a sense of vigilance to arise.

“You don't need to hide anymore. I know you're hiding there. Come out now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.”

With a flip of his hand, Senior Brother Zhang retrieved a blue longsword from the azure cloth pouch at his waist, gripped it tightly, and shouted again towards the Phoenix Blood Fruit trees, his face full of vigilance!

“Alas…”

Before long, a helpless sigh came from behind one of the Phoenix Blood Fruit trees, followed by a young man in white feather robes, emerging from behind the trees, his face also full of helplessness.

This person was none other than Chen Tian, who had come here after leaving Emerald Immortal Valley!

“Who are you? Why are you here? Could you also be a thief trying to steal the fruits?” Upon seeing Chen Tian appear, Senior Brother Zhang's expression grew even more gloomy, and he asked with a disdainful sneer.

After all, the Shen Immortal Fruit was famous, and countless people came to steal the fruit every year, but because the Immortal Fruit Orchard was heavily guarded, no one had ever succeeded.

Therefore, upon seeing Chen Tian appear here, Senior Brother Zhang naturally assumed that Chen Tian was also a thief trying to steal the Shen Immortal Fruit.

“Huh? Shen Immortal Fruit? Could it be that the fruits on this tree are the legendary, highly renowned Shen Immortal Fruits?” However, after hearing Senior Brother Zhang's words, Chen Tian was first stunned, then showed a look of surprise, pointing at the fruits on the huge fruit tree and asking curiously.

“Heh heh, stop pretending. You're a thief trying to steal the Shen Immortal Fruit! Do you think you can get away with acting ignorant? I advise you to confess quickly, or you'll have something to cry about later!”

Seeing Chen Tian's ignorant appearance, Senior Brother Zhang sneered again. He thought Chen Tian's current appearance was all an act. After all, he had seen many fruit thieves like Chen Tian!

When Chen Tian saw Senior Brother Zhang's appearance, he knew he was mistaken. Helplessly touching his nose, he said with a wry smile, “Fellow Daoist, would you believe me if I said I got lost and accidentally stumbled upon this place?”

Having said that, Chen Tian spread out his hands, revealing a very helpless and depressed look!

“Haha, nine out of ten fruit thieves have said that, and my ears are tired of hearing it. So, do you think I'll believe you?”

However, after hearing Chen Tian's explanation, Senior Brother Zhang laughed again. He thought Chen Tian would be different from the previous fruit thieves, but in the end, Chen Tian was just like them, not even knowing how to lie!

Could such a low-level excuse fool him?

Thinking this, Senior Brother Zhang secretly exerted force on the hand holding the longsword, as if he was ready to attack at any moment.

But when Chen Tian saw this scene, he felt even more helpless in his heart.

In fact, Chen Tian was not lying. He really got lost and accidentally entered this Immortal Fruit Orchard.

And all of this started when Chen Tian left Emerald Immortal Valley.

Afterwards, a middle-aged man with a refined temperament, also a Foundation Building Realm expert, appeared, claiming to be the Mad Old Man's enemy and friend, and took him back to heal his injuries.

Before leaving, Chen Tian had specifically asked him for his address, intending to visit the Mad Old Man after dealing with Qin Yi's affairs.

And now, Chen Tian was following this agreement to come here and visit the Mad Old Man.

But what made Chen Tian helpless was that the address the middle-aged man gave him was not complete. It only roughly marked the location of West Qi Mountain, but did not specify exactly where on West Qi Mountain it was. So, Chen Tian had no choice but to search aimlessly on this vast West Qi Mountain.

And unintentionally, Chen Tian broke into the Immortal Fruit Orchard, shocked by the huge Shen Immortal Fruit tree, and began to observe it curiously. Just as Chen Tian was engrossed in watching, suddenly, Senior Brother Zhang came in.

In a panic, Chen Tian immediately took out the Heaven-Veiling Feather Shawl to cover his figure and hid behind the Phoenix Blood Fruit trees.

However, to Chen Tian's surprise, he never expected that the guardian formation in this Immortal Fruit Orchard would be so powerful, greatly weakening the function of the Heaven-Veiling Feather Shawl, making it unable to completely conceal Chen Tian.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Tian was exposed by Senior Brother Zhang, who only had the cultivation of the Transformation Spring Realm.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian sighed helplessly and smiled wryly again, “Fellow Daoist, I didn't mean to deceive you. I really got lost and accidentally broke into this place!”

“Heh heh, I'd really be bewitched if I believed you!” However, no matter how Chen Tian explained, Senior Brother Zhang never listened. He sneered at Chen Tian, “I've seen many fruit thieves like you, but I've never seen one as stupid as you, who can't even lie! Fine, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I'll capture you now and take you back to be dealt with by my master!”

As he spoke, Senior Brother Zhang held the sword in his left hand and didn't want to say any more nonsense. He pretended to rush towards Chen Tian.

“Fellow Daoist, please hold on. I have proof here that can prove I'm not a fruit thief. Can you look at it before making a decision?” Seeing this scene, Chen Tian was slightly surprised. In a panic, he said these words again.

“Hmm?” Senior Brother Zhang was immediately startled upon hearing this, then stopped his movements, staring at Chen Tian suspiciously, his face gloomy, “Alright, tell me, what kind of evidence is it? But let me say this first, if it proves afterwards that you are lying to me, hehe, you should know the consequences!”

As he said this, a blue cold light suddenly flashed on the longsword in Senior Brother Zhang's hand, shining on Chen Tian's face, making Chen Tian feel a trace of icy coldness, like the smile of the Grim Reaper!
