Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Hmm? What do you mean by this?"

Seeing Chen Tian suddenly lower all his defenses, Senior Brother Zhang immediately felt puzzled. He didn't understand what Chen Tian was planning.

Staring intently at Chen Tian, his eyes darted around before he seemed to think of something. He suddenly sneered, "Haha, I get it now. Are you admitting defeat because you see no chance of winning? Well, even though our Senior Brother Lu is young, he already has the cultivation of the early Sea凝境 stage. Plus, with the dense restrictions in the Immortal Fruit Forest, even a筑天境 expert would have to leave their life here today! Surrendering now is a wise move indeed!"

Senior Brother Zhang believed that Chen Tian had lowered his defenses because he realized he had no chance of winning and was afraid! After all, no fruit thief had ever escaped from the Immortal Fruit Forest unscathed! Although this Chen Tian was quite mysterious, Senior Brother Zhang believed that he must be scared!

This made Senior Brother Zhang even more fearless, looking down at Chen Tian with an extremely disdainful and contemptuous expression, as if he were a victor looking at his spoils.

Chen Tian simply smiled helplessly at his appearance, but didn't explain anything. He remained silent, waiting quietly with him.

The newcomer was extremely fast, just a hundred miles away a moment ago, but in the next, he had already flown over the Immortal Fruit Forest. Without hesitation, he descended and rushed towards where the two were standing.

"Senior Brother Lu, you've come at the right time. This is the fruit thief I just caught. Let's join forces and take him down!"

As soon as the person landed and before he could steady himself, Senior Brother Zhang greeted him with a flattering and attentive expression, trying to please him. After all, discovering a fruit thief in time was a great achievement in the Ganquan Palace, and he was already imagining what kind of reward he would receive upon returning.

Would it be a pill to increase cultivation, or a magic weapon to enhance strength? Or would he get both pills and magic weapons?

Thinking of this, Senior Brother Zhang's heart was filled with joy.

However, unlike the silly-smiling Senior Brother Zhang, the young man surnamed Lu didn't look so good. As soon as he landed, he asked in an extremely gloomy tone, "What exactly is going on here?"

Anyone could see that the man surnamed Lu had an unpleasant expression, and was even holding back a fire. But Senior Brother Zhang was in high spirits, so he didn't think too much. After hearing his question, he quickly pointed at Chen Tian and explained, "This little thief tried to disguise himself as a disciple of our Ganquan Palace to steal 燊仙 fruits. If I hadn't discovered him in time, he might have succeeded!

But there's no need to be afraid now. As long as we join forces, plus the powerful restrictions in the Immortal Fruit Forest, we will definitely be able to capture this shameless thief. When we take him to Master, it will be a great achievement! Of course, the greatest credit naturally belongs to you, Senior Brother Lu. If you receive a reward, just give me a sip of the soup, and I will be grateful."

This Senior Brother Zhang was really good at getting along with people, knowing how to curry favor with this man surnamed Lu, and even giving up all the credit for catching the fruit thief.

Senior Brother Zhang thought that after understanding his good intentions, the man surnamed Lu would definitely be grateful. And if he could climb this big tree, wouldn't he be able to thrive even more in the sect in the future?

Thinking like this, Senior Brother Zhang couldn't help but secretly laugh!

However, he didn't notice that while he was explaining, the man surnamed Lu's face was always gloomy, not as happy as he had expected. Instead, he seemed to be holding back a fire. And as time went on, this fire not only didn't diminish, but became even stronger, like constantly pumping air into a balloon. The huge fire was about to burst the balloon.

Finally, after hearing everything, the man surnamed Lu could no longer bear it. His face was extremely ugly, and his eyes stared at Senior Brother Zhang as if he wanted to kill him.

However, Senior Brother Zhang didn't notice the strange phenomenon on the face of the man surnamed Lu. At this time, he was still complacent about his cleverness, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a "slap" sound, followed by a burning sensation on his left cheek.

It turned out that the man surnamed Lu couldn't bear it any longer. Just as Senior Brother Zhang was still complacent, he suddenly raised his arm and slapped him on the cheek.

For a cultivator like Senior Brother Zhang, although the strength of this slap was great, it wouldn't cause much damage to his body. What was really affected was his heart!

After all, if anyone was suddenly slapped while they were in high spirits, they would most likely be angry and shocked!

Especially Senior Brother Zhang at this time, he was even more shocked. Ignoring his highly swollen cheek, he looked up with a dazed expression and an unbelievable look. He really couldn't understand why the man surnamed Lu would hit him for no reason.

He knew that catching Chen Tian was a great achievement, and in order to please this man surnamed Lu, he had given up all the credit. He had done so much, but this man surnamed Lu not only wasn't grateful, but even hit him!

How could Senior Brother Zhang be convinced?

He didn't know how long it took before he regained some consciousness. He covered his already red left cheek and coldly questioned the man surnamed Lu, "Senior Brother Lu, why did you hit me? Did I do something wrong?"

His tone was tactful, but if you listened carefully, you could find a fire contained within. After all, he was really unconvinced!

"Heh, you still have the nerve to ask me why I hit you? It's already my mercy that I didn't kill you!" However, after hearing Senior Brother Zhang's confused question, the anger in the heart of the man surnamed Lu became even stronger, and his eyes were icy cold.

"Ah?" Hearing this sentence, Senior Brother Zhang was stunned again. At this time, he was also like a constantly expanding balloon, but what was inside him was endless doubt!

However, at this time, Senior Brother Lu was too lazy to pay attention to him. Instead, he turned around and respectfully said to Chen Tian, "I am Lu Hao, ordered by my master to welcome you, Fellow Daoist. If there was any offense just now, I hope you won't mind it. After returning, I will definitely report to my master and severely punish this evil disciple, to give you an explanation."

'Crazy, this world is completely crazy!'

After hearing Lu Hao's words, such a thought suddenly came to Senior Brother Zhang's mind!
