Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Hmph, what is this?” Daoist Xu Chang sized up the black-robed, bald-headed man's cultivation and discovered that he was the same as himself, both being early-stage Core Formation Realm cultivators. This made a strong sense of vigilance surge in his heart.

“Haha, Grand Master Xu, it's come to this, don't keep pretending. Do you not know what I want in your heart?” The black-robed bald man licked his lips, but the戏谑mockery on his face became even more sarcastic.

Daoist Xu Chang's heart couldn't help but 'thump' when he heard this. He, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but start to panic at this moment.

Daoist Xu Chang naturally knew that what the black-robed bald man was referring to must be the spiritual vein within their Morning Cloud Sect.

However, this spiritual vein was the treasure of their Morning Cloud Sect. How could Daoist Xu Chang be willing to give it to these demon cultivators who kill without blinking an eye!

Thinking like this, Daoist Xu Chang's face darkened, and he said coldly with a fake smile: “I'm sorry, as you know, once people get old, their brains don't work well, so I don't know what you're talking about at all! But if you want my old life, I can accompany you to the end!”

Obviously, Daoist Xu Chang had already made up his mind to protect the sect with his life at this time. A swift aura suddenly surged from his body, rushing towards the many demon cultivators in front of the square.

Although he was seriously injured, Daoist Xu Chang was still a Core Formation Realm expert after all. Therefore, under the impact of his desperate aura at this time, those arrogant demon cultivators suddenly felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but retreat a few steps. Even the black-robed bald man put away the sneer on his face, frowned, and seemed to be ready for a big battle.

“Don't do it! You want the spiritual vein, right? I can give it to you! I only ask that you demon cultivator adults spare our lives.”

However, at this moment, an elder of the Morning Cloud Sect ran out from behind Daoist Xu Chang with a look of horror, ran all the way to the black-robed bald man, and kowtowed to him repeatedly.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen altar master-level figures from the Morning Cloud Sect also ran out from behind Daoist Xu Chang and knelt down in front of the many demon cultivators along with the elder.

These people were the vocal minority who advocated surrendering to the demon cultivators in the main hall just now!

“You… you… you are simply a disgrace to my Morning Cloud Sect!”

Daoist Xu Chang never expected that these people would actually disregard the safety of the Morning Cloud Sect and submit to the evil demon cultivators. This made the blood in Daoist Xu Chang's body surge, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

“Haha, Grand Master Xu, you don't need to be so angry. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on. Although these people are a little lowly and despicable, surrendering to our demonic path can be considered a wise move. How about you surrender to us too?” The black-robed bald man was obviously slightly surprised by this farce, but after regaining his senses, he put on an arrogant look again and proposed to Daoist Xu Chang in a playful and sarcastic tone.

“Bah, don't daydream, even if I, Xu Chang, die, I will not associate with you demon cultivators.” However, Daoist Xu Chang remained unmoved and flatly refused.

“Hmph, something that doesn't know how to appreciate favors!” Seeing Daoist Xu Chang's attitude, the black-robed bald man snorted coldly, then turned around and said to the Morning Cloud Sect people kneeling in front of him: “Since your grand master is so ignorant of current affairs, then let you tell me where the spiritual vein in your Morning Cloud Sect is? If you say it right, this venerable one will definitely reward you handsomely after returning!”

“Thank you, demon cultivator lord, thank you, demon cultivator lord!”

Hearing these words, the Morning Cloud Sect people kneeling on the ground immediately wiped the sweat pouring down their faces like a waterfall with their sleeves, then stood up and looked at each other. After a moment of silence, they all cast a cyan spiritual light towards the ground of this square.

“Rumble…”

At this moment, a series of violent noises like thunderclaps suddenly came from the underground where everyone was. Immediately afterwards, the floor tiles on the square surged up and down like a turbulent sea, as if something was about to rush out from the ground.

“Roar!”

Before long, a loud dragon roar suddenly exploded in everyone's ears. Immediately afterwards, a huge crack suddenly burst open in the center of the square, and a golden light dragon with a body length of more than a thousand feet and a transparent body roared out of the crack and hovered in the sky above the square.

Because the size of this golden light dragon was too huge, it almost filled the entire square as soon as it appeared. The bursts of majestic spiritual power emanating from its body blew on everyone like a storm, causing their clothes to flutter in the strong wind.

“Could this be the legendary spiritual vein manifestation?! ! !”

After seeing the appearance of this strange golden light dragon, the black-robed bald man's eyes couldn't help but widen.

He had heard that some spiritual veins of superior quality would awaken their spiritual intelligence and transform into shapes due to the rich spiritual energy contained within them.

This situation was the same as the Earth Core Fire Vein that Chen Tian had subdued before, both of which were caused by some kind of mutation due to the pure and refined energy contained within them.

And being able to transform into such a huge golden dragon was enough to prove that this spiritual vein must contain a vast spiritual energy that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

“Haha, I have long heard that your sect possesses a spiritual vein of good quality, but I never expected that the spiritual energy hidden in this spiritual vein would reach the point of transforming into a shape. It really opened my eyes!” After a moment of astonishment, a strong look of joy appeared on the black-robed bald man's face.

“Alas… it's over… it's all over. The foundation of the Morning Cloud Sect for thousands of years has been completely destroyed in my hands today.” However, unlike the black-robed bald man's excited face, Daoist Xu Chang's face was full of despair. At this time, his expression was extremely haggard, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years.

“Hehe, Grand Master Xu, please rest assured. After I take this thing, I will definitely leave a complete corpse for you and the group of people behind you who don't know the current affairs. It can be regarded as a small respect for your courage and loyalty, haha… hahahaha…”

In a burst of arrogant laughter, the black-robed bald man slowly stretched out his arm and grabbed towards the golden light dragon in the sky.

“This spiritual vein is mine. If anyone dares to touch it, I will definitely make you die without a burial place!”

But suddenly, at this moment, an icy voice came rolling from the distant sky, and at the same time, endless killing intent also followed and permeated.
