Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Just as Chen Tian was secretly surprised, the man finally spoke. He was very composed, first giving Chen Tian a cupped fist salute before calmly saying, “I am Pan Xing, greetings, fellow Daoist.”

As soon as he said this, Chen Tian’s heart skipped a beat. Clearly, this person must be from the Pan family.

At the same time, Chen Tian secretly released a wisp of spiritual consciousness to probe him, discovering that this person was actually in the early stage of the Spirit引Ling Induction Realm!

Chen Tian's thoughts raced, knowing that things were becoming difficult.

However, although shocked in his heart, Chen Tian did not show any expression on his face. He returned the salute and asked indifferently, “I am Yang Ming. May I ask what guidance Brother Pan has for me?”

Of course, Chen Tian wasn’t foolish enough to tell him his real name, so he fabricated a false name.

“Oh, so it’s Brother Yang, I’ve heard so much about you.” Pan Xing said politely with a smile, then continued, “It’s like this, recently two scums of the cultivation world have appeared in Ji City. These two have killed more than a dozen cultivators with low cultivation levels and robbed them of their belongings. Therefore, we are under the order of the Pan family head to patrol around. It may take up some of Brother Yang’s time.”

As he said this, Pan Xing raised his head and glanced at Chen Tian, as well as Jia Yan behind Chen Tian, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

After hearing this, Chen Tian immediately said with slight anger: “What? Does Brother Pan suspect that we two brothers are those two scums?”

“No, no, no, I don’t mean that.” Pan Xing hurriedly shook his head, and said with a smile: “As the saying goes, the clear are clear. Our Pan family just wants to ask Brother Yang to cooperate with the investigation. If it turns out that we are wrong, we will naturally offer generous gifts and apologize.”

Pan Xing's attitude was very amiable, but after hearing this, Chen Tian's heart became even more gloomy.

Because Chen Tian knew that everything Pan Xing said was false.

He had checked Ji City, and it was full of restrictions and formations set up by the Pan family. As long as there was a fluctuation of spiritual power in the city, the Pan family would immediately sense it and rush over to check. Ordinary people simply didn't have the guts to cause trouble in Ji City.

Not to mention that there were rogue cultivators killing people in Ji City, it was simply impossible.

“If it’s not this matter, then what could it be?”

Chen Tian's mind raced, constantly thinking about all the possibilities.

At this moment, the few people in the inn also came out, and even brought out the errand boy.

They walked all the way to Pan Xing's side, and then everyone bowed to him.

Chen Tian was slightly surprised to see this, obviously Pan Xing's status in the Pan family was quite high.

“Master Xing, I’ve brought the person here.” At this time, a burly man with a beard walked up to Pan Xing, dragging the errand boy, and said.

Pan Xing nodded, then pointed at Chen Tian and the others, and asked the errand boy with a smile: “Little brother, you raise your head and take a good look. Are these two the ones who checked into this inn just now?”

Although the errand boy was not old, he knew very well that in Ji City, the Pan family was the local emperor. Therefore, after hearing Pan Xing's words, he raised his head in horror, glanced at Chen Tian and Jia Yan, and then nodded sharply.

Seeing this, the bad feeling in Chen Tian's heart became even stronger.

At this time, the burly man with a beard also leaned close to Pan Xing's ear and said: “Master Xing, according to the reports from the surveillance, the two cultivators who went to observe near the Ji family also checked into this inn in the end. It seems that these two are the ones.”

After hearing this, Pan Xing nodded almost imperceptibly, then waved his hand, signaling him to retreat, and a smile filled his face again. He said to Chen Tian: “Oh dear, Brother Yang, we made a mistake, we made a mistake. Since you two were staying in the inn just now, it means that you didn’t have time to commit the crime, and of course, you couldn’t be those two rogue cultivators. How about this, to show our apology, our Pan family would like to invite Brother Yang, and that fellow Daoist behind you, to our mansion for a chat. Our family head wants to personally apologize to you, Brother Yang, what do you think?”

As soon as Pan Xing's voice fell, the Pan family disciples around him immediately dispersed, forming a circle, surrounding Chen Tian and Jia Yan.

Looking at such a formation, Chen Tian's eyes gradually became cold. He vaguely guessed that he might have been targeted by the Pan family for some reason.

This reason may come from the Ji family, or perhaps from the fact that he killed Pan Xingyu, but no matter what, this would not be a good thing.

Chen Tian knew in his heart that if he really went to the Pan family with them now, then the outcome might be ominous.

Chen Tian was not so stupid. After a little thought, he smiled indifferently: “I think we can skip the apology. I, Yang, have never liked these superficial things. Now that you have proved my innocence, then we two brothers should go back to our room. Recently, I am cultivating at a critical moment, and I don’t want to be delayed by these trivial matters.”

After hearing this, Pan Xing looked embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he ordered the two Pan family disciples who were blocking Chen Tian's path: “You step back and let Brother Yang in.”

Hearing Pan Xing's order, the two were stunned for a moment, but in the end, they retreated to the side as ordered.

“Brother Yang, you can go in now.” Pan Xing said to Chen Tian with an apologetic smile.

Chen Tian's face calmed down again. He nodded lightly to Pan Xing, then walked around them and went straight into the inn.

Only after Chen Tian's figure had completely entered the inn did the burly man with a beard next to Pan Xing ask with a puzzled face: “Master Xing, now that it has been confirmed that this person is the cultivator who entered near the Ji family, why not capture him? Perhaps he is related to Ji Tianyi and the Wind Spirit Bead?”

Chen Tian guessed right just now, these people came here to take him back to the Pan family to investigate whether he was related to Ji Tianyi and the Wind Spirit Bead.

Moreover, not only Chen Tian, but in the past ten years, all cultivators who have approached the vicinity of the Ji family's old house have been taken back by the Pan family for interrogation under various pretexts, without exception!

Therefore, at this time, seeing that Pan Xing did not take Chen Tian back as before, the burly man was puzzled.

After hearing this, Pan Xing's originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy. He glared at him unhappily and scolded: “Do you think I don't want to? But do you know how powerful this person's cultivation is?”
