Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

This Senior Brother Zhang wasn't stupid either; in his heart, he had already decided that Chen Tian was a fruit thief.

However, on the other hand, he also vaguely sensed that Chen Tian's strength was extraordinary, probably far above his own!

Therefore, Senior Brother Zhang knew that if he fought Chen Tian alone, things might get dangerous! As for He and Wu, the two guarding the gate outside, their cultivation was too weak to be of any help!

Therefore, the reason why Senior Brother Zhang agreed to look at Chen Tian's so-called proof was actually just a delaying tactic, and his real intention was to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

It turned out that just now, when Senior Brother Zhang was talking to Chen Tian, he secretly sent out a message to the Ganquan Palace headquarters, believing that someone would come to support him soon.

'Hmph, I'll let you, the fruit thief, be arrogant for a while. Once the reinforcements arrive, hehe, it will be your death!' After thinking about it in his heart, a sly look appeared on Senior Brother Zhang's face.

At this time, Chen Tian, as if unaware, reached into his arms and took out a blue jade token, handing it to Senior Brother Zhang, and said in a friendly tone: "This is the proof I was talking about. I hope you, fellow Daoist, will examine it carefully."

"Huh?"

Looking at the jade token Chen Tian handed over, Senior Brother Zhang let out a soft 'huh' in surprise. Originally, he thought that Chen Tian's words were intended to delay time, just like his own, in order to find an opportunity to escape. But he never expected that Chen Tian would actually take out a so-called 'proof', which surprised him greatly.

'Hmph, there are many restrictions in the Immortal Fruit Forest, even if you are strong, it will be difficult to escape in a short time! Well, let's see what you have taken out!'

In fact, Senior Brother Zhang was also a little curious. Although he had already decided that Chen Tian was a fruit thief, subconsciously, he felt that Chen Tian was different from ordinary fruit thieves, but he couldn't explain exactly where the difference lay. So, he was still very interested in what Chen Tian had taken out now.

After thinking for a while, Senior Brother Zhang seemed to have made up his mind. With a flick of his finger, a red spiritual light shot out, wrapping the jade token in Chen Tian's hand and flying back.

Senior Brother Zhang was meticulous. He was afraid that Chen Tian would play tricks with the jade token, so he didn't dare to touch it directly. Wrapping it with spiritual light was a foolproof strategy.

Soon, under the wrapping of the red spiritual light, the jade token flew to Senior Brother Zhang's front. However, at this time, Senior Brother Zhang still didn't dare to take it easily, but scanned the jade token with his sharp eyes.

Seeing this scene, a wry smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth. He naturally knew what Senior Brother Zhang was wary of, but he didn't say anything and just waited quietly by the side.

After checking it more than a hundred times, Senior Brother Zhang finally confirmed that the jade token was extremely normal, as if it didn't hide any mechanisms or traps.

Having confirmed this, Senior Brother Zhang felt as if a big stone had fallen from his heart, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he waved his sleeve lightly, and the red spiritual light immediately dissipated, causing the jade pendant to slowly fall into his palm without deviation.

Holding the jade token, Senior Brother Zhang didn't rush to verify it, but instead looked up at Chen Tian. He saw that Chen Tian's face didn't show any panic or fear. After noticing Senior Brother Zhang's gaze, he raised the corner of his mouth and showed him a friendly smile.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhang's surprise grew even stronger. However, he calculated the time and estimated that the reinforcements would arrive soon, so after returning a smile to Chen Tian, he turned his gaze back and refocused on the jade token in his hand.

The jade token was azure blue in color, and there were not too many complicated patterns on it, giving people a very simple feeling. On the back of the jade token, the words 'Xiqi Mountain' were engraved in a vigorous and powerful font; while on the front, the words 'Ganquan Palace' were written in a soft and elegant font.

'This jade token is the Ganquan Palace's pass!'

After seeing the appearance of the jade token clearly, Senior Brother Zhang suddenly gasped. He found that the jade token was the pass for Ganquan Palace disciples to enter and exit Xiqi Mountain. Only by holding this jade token could one be free from the influence of the mist in the mountain and enter and exit freely.

And non-Ganquan Palace disciples cannot possess this pass!

In surprise and doubt, Senior Brother Zhang raised his head again and repeatedly examined Chen Tian hundreds of times, up and down, left and right, front and back, carefully!

It could also be confirmed that Chen Tian must not be from Ganquan Palace, because there were only three hundred people in Ganquan Palace. If he was really a disciple of Ganquan Palace, then Senior Brother Zhang would have had an impression of him.

"Hehe, I originally thought you were stupid, but I never expected that you would be smarter than other fruit thieves, and even knew to prepare our Ganquan Palace identity jade token in advance! But unfortunately, you met me this time, which is your bad luck. I am not so easy to fool. I know everyone in Ganquan Palace. Your wishful thinking of disguising yourself as a Ganquan Palace disciple to pass yourself off as genuine is simply a daydream! Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Since you are so stubborn, then I have no choice but to capture you!"

Obviously, even if Chen Tian showed the jade token, he still didn't gain Senior Brother Zhang's trust. Instead, it made him more vigilant. With a wave of his left hand, a layer of raging flames immediately covered the long sword in his hand, pointing at Chen Tian!

Between the two, a tense atmosphere called 'swords drawn and bows bent' was rapidly surging!

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian's depression was even more indescribable, but at the same time, he also understood that no matter what he said, he couldn't convince Senior Brother Zhang. It seemed that this battle was unavoidable.

"Boom!"

But at this moment, a burst of air-piercing sound suddenly surged from the distance, breaking the silence between the two.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhang was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately raised his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a young man also wearing Ganquan Palace disciple attire, flying through the air with a look of anxiety!

And his destination was the location where the two were standing.

"It's Senior Brother Lu!" After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Senior Brother Zhang suddenly shouted excitedly, and then looked at Chen Tian unscrupulously, triumphantly saying: "My reinforcements have finally arrived, hehe, next, it will be your death!"

"Oh, is that so?"

However, after seeing the figure rushing over quickly, a strange look suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's face. Then, he actually took back all his previous defenses, stood there calmly, and looked extremely relaxed!
