Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Fellow Daoist Ji Ao, what do you mean by this?”

Having recovered from his shock, Immortal Lord Ziwei's expression instantly turned icy as he coldly questioned Ji Ao.

At the same time, he subtly shifted his feet, slowly retreating backward, deliberately creating some distance between himself, Chen Tian, and Ji Ao.

“Hehe, you ask me what this means? Is it not obvious enough that you can't see it?” However, at this moment, Ji Ao suddenly burst into laughter. Immediately afterward, his figure moved, and he charged straight towards Chen Tian.

Moreover, when passing by Duanmu Ya, Ji Ao didn't stop at all, didn't even glance at Duanmu Ya, and continued flying straight ahead until he arrived beside Chen Tian, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

As for Chen Tian at this time, he didn't show the slightest surprise at Ji Ao's arrival, nor did he offer any obstruction, as if they had already reached some kind of consensus.

Seeing this scene, Immortal Lord Ziwei seemed to understand something, and a sinister glint flashed in his viper-like eyes once more.

At the same time, the most surprised person among the crowd should have been Duanmu Ya.

Duanmu Ya finally remembered that before entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, Chen Tian had made a condition to Ji Ao, to plant a restriction seal on Duanmu Ya's primordial spirit.

When he heard this unreasonable request, Duanmu Ya naturally refused outright, but who would have thought that Ji Ao would suddenly say to him at that time, that the overall situation should be the priority, to first stabilize Chen Tian, and then secretly undo the seal planted in his body, saying that this was a win-win solution.

After hearing Ji Ao say this, Duanmu Ya had no choice but to agree.

So before that, Ji Ao had planted a seal restriction in Duanmu Ya's primordial spirit, and also told Chen Tian the incantation to cast this restriction.

However, just as Ji Ao had said before, after entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, Ji Ao secretly undid the seal restriction in Duanmu Ya's body while Chen Tian wasn't paying attention.

At that time, Duanmu Ya had tested it several times and was certain that there were no traces of any restrictions left in his primordial spirit.

But who would have thought that just when Chen Tian said the word 'Freeze', the seal restriction on Duanmu Ya's primordial spirit, which should have been eliminated, would reappear and seal off all the spiritual power in his body, which is why Duanmu Ya is now frozen in place, unable to move.

Before, Duanmu Ya was still confused and didn't understand how all this had happened.

However, at this moment, seeing Chen Tian and Ji Ao standing side by side, Duanmu Ya seemed to understand something and asked with a look of horror.

“Hehe, Duanmu Ya, actually, you're right, all of this was my doing!” Facing Duanmu Ya's inquiring gaze, Ji Ao didn't deny it at all, but generously admitted it.

Although he had already suspected it, Duanmu Ya's heart couldn't help but tremble violently after hearing Ji Ao's affirmative answer with his own ears. Then, his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Why? Give me a reason!”

“Hehe, you want a reason? Okay, I'll give you a reason!” Hearing Duanmu Ya's words, Ji Ao laughed again, but this time his laughter contained a hint of coldness and anger.

Immediately afterward, Ji Ao raised his left hand and suddenly pointed at Immortal Lord Ziwei, “Duanmu Ya, do you think you're very clever? Do you think I can't see all the little tricks you've been secretly playing behind my back? If you really think I'm deaf and stupid, then you're sorely mistaken! I know everything about your secret plans with this old guy!”

Ji Ao's words contained the power of a great thunder, and every word and sentence made Duanmu Ya and Immortal Lord Ziwei tremble with fear.

At this moment, Duanmu Ya, who was originally full of resentment, suddenly turned pale, and at the same time, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, as if some conspiracy had been exposed.

As for Immortal Lord Ziwei, needless to say, his expression changed drastically at this time, and he immediately retorted, “Ji Ao, what nonsense are you talking about for no reason? What secret plans between the two of us, all of this is completely fabricated, don't spout nonsense!”

“Hehe, you say I'm spouting nonsense?” Hearing Immortal Lord Ziwei's words, Ji Ao laughed in anger. His expression turned cold as he said, “Okay, since you've forgotten, then I'll help you remember!”

Speaking here, Ji Ao paused for a moment, and then more icy coldness appeared in his eyes as he said, “That day, after you came to me to discuss joining forces to deal with Chen Tian, you turned around and secretly met with this traitor in Maple Thunder Valley.”

At this time, Ji Ao pointed with his left hand at Duanmu Ya, who was imprisoned in mid-air!

Naturally, this traitor refers to Duanmu Ya!

When Duanmu Ya saw this, his face became even paler.

At the same time, Immortal Lord Ziwei, who had been pretending to be calm, couldn't help but break out in a dense layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

However, Ji Ao ignored all of this and continued, “In Maple Thunder Valley, you promised Duanmu Ya that after jointly eliminating Chen Tian, you would also eliminate me, so as to support him in becoming the new leader of the Demon Clan. You should all still remember this, right?”

Speaking to this point, raging flames had already erupted in Ji Ao's eyes as he looked at Duanmu Ya and Immortal Lord Ziwei.

When Ji Ao's gaze swept over them, Duanmu Ya and Immortal Lord Ziwei both lowered their heads in shame, not daring to meet his gaze, and all of this just showed that they were feeling guilty.

“Hehe, Immortal Lord Ziwei, I really didn't expect that you and your master would be so greedy, not only wanting to eliminate Chen Tian, but also joining forces to deal with me? If I hadn't been cautious and planted a monitoring restriction on this traitor, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark until now!” At this time, Ji Ao ignored the two people's guilty looks and continued to grit his teeth.

To be honest, Ji Ao was extremely angry when he discovered all of this conspiracy.

And he also understood that a mere Immortal Lord Ziwei didn't have the authority to make such a decision, and that behind all of this conspiracy, was probably a secret order issued by Jin Chi!
