Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian's eyes flickered as he began to contemplate the situation.

He believed that he was not an isolated case and that anyone who had been in contact with the Ji family would be captured by the Pan family.

After being captured, there would only be two possible outcomes: execution or interrogation.

Chen Tian believed that the Pan family wouldn't dare to execute everyone who had been in contact with the Ji family.

After all, doing so would make the Pan family the enemy of the entire cultivation world, branding them as evil and heretical, making them a target for everyone to denounce.

However, the Pan family was still thriving in Ji City and had even built the Giant Deer Tower to accommodate cultivators from all over the world.

Therefore, Chen Tian believed that the Pan family would not, and did not dare, to execute all the cultivators who had been close to the Ji family.

If that were not the case, then the only remaining possibility would be interrogation.

Chen Tian frowned even more deeply, pondering in his mind: 'What exactly does the Pan family want to extract from those connected to the Ji family through interrogation?'

Interrogation, interrogation! As the name suggests, it involves detailed questioning about things that are not yet understood or obtained.

But hadn't the Pan family already occupied the entire Ji family estate and searched every nook and cranny, inside and out?

What else could they possibly be looking for that they haven't found yet?

Chen Tian's mind was in turmoil, feeling like he was just one step away from grasping the key to the problem.

But where exactly was this crucial element?

Chen Tian tried to calm himself down and began to eliminate possibilities one by one in his mind.

Firstly, it was certain that the Pan family was indeed searching for something, and they had not yet found it.

Secondly, this thing was related to the Ji family, but it was not in the Ji family's old residence.

Otherwise, the Pan family had already turned the Ji family upside down, and if it were there, they would have found it long ago.

Chen Tian was puzzled, murmuring softly: "Something related to the Ji family, but not in the Ji family, and also extremely important, what could it be?"

The more Chen Tian thought, the closer he felt to the truth, so he eliminated all distractions and began to concentrate on thinking in his mind!

Suddenly, at that moment, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and Chen Tian's body suddenly stopped as if he had been electrocuted!

Jia Yan was just a demonic puppet without a soul, so when he saw Chen Tian stop, his body immediately hovered, standing motionless beside him, with no expression on his face.

However, Pan Xing, who was held in Jia Yan's hand, laughed arrogantly at this moment: "Haha, what's wrong, kid, are you scared? Since you're scared, then quickly release me, and I can plead for you in front of the family head, otherwise, from now on, you will be hunted down by our Pan family forever!"

Hearing Pan Xing's noisy voice, Chen Tian frowned slightly. With a thought, Jia Yan immediately reached out and covered his mouth and eyes, so that he could only make slight 'um um...' sounds.

When the world returned to silence, Chen Tian's eyes flashed, and then he reached into his arms and took out a blue pearl and a cyan jade slip.

These were the things that Ji Tianyi had given to Chen Tian before his death, asking him to take them back to the Ji family.

Chen Tian didn't know what the blue pearl was for, only that it was called the Wind Spirit Pearl.

As for the cyan jade slip, Chen Tian had never opened it to take a look in the past ten years.

But Chen Tian remembered very clearly that back in that forest, Pan Xingyu had brutally killed Ji Tianyi because of this Wind Spirit Pearl.

So Chen Tian now suddenly thought that what the Pan family was going to such great lengths to find might be this Wind Spirit Pearl?

As soon as this idea appeared, it set off a storm in Chen Tian's heart.

He increasingly felt that whether it was Ji Tianyi being killed by Pan Xingyu, or himself being hunted down by the Pan family, the root cause might lie in this small pearl.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's mind moved, and he looked at the blue pearl again, pondering in a daze: "What is the use of this Wind Spirit Pearl?"

After looking at the Wind Spirit Pearl, Chen Tian turned his attention to the cyan jade slip next to it.

This was what Ji Tianyi had given him at the same time, entrusting Chen Tian to be sure to send it to the Ji family and hand it over to the Ji family members.

It was because of this promise that Chen Tian came to Ji City first after leaving the Ghost Dao Sect.

Looking at these two things, Chen Tian's eyes flashed rapidly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, his expression returned to normal, and then he put the Wind Spirit Pearl and the cyan jade slip back into his arms.

After doing all this, Chen Tian silently issued an order to Jia Yan.

After hearing this, Jia Yan immediately moved away the big hand that was covering Pan Xingyu's eyes.

"Hey, you surnamed Yang, why did you cover my eyes? Are you trying to die!" As soon as Jia Yan put down his hand, Pan Xing immediately cursed at Chen Tian.

However, after hearing Chen Tian's words, Pan Xing sneered contemptuously: "Hehe, you kid, stop daydreaming. Today you have angered our Pan family, and you are also a remnant of the Ji family. In the days to come, you will be hunted down by our Pan family. Still want to come to apologize? It's just nonsense!"

Pan Xing said this very firmly, not like he was scaring Chen Tian.

After hearing this, Chen Tian sighed helplessly in his heart.

Just now, he said he wanted to 'come to apologize' was actually to test Pan Xing to see how they would react and to find out if there was a way to reconcile from the side.

However, Pan Xing's answer shattered Chen Tian's last hope. Chen Tian knew that the Pan family would not let him go. Even if he could escape temporarily today, he would definitely be endlessly harassed by the Pan family in the future.

Chen Tian smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that a promise to Ji Tianyi would put him in such a troublesome situation today.

However, all of this was the cause that Chen Tian had planted himself, so he could only swallow the bitter fruit in depression.

Just as Chen Tian was thinking wildly, the gate tower of Ji City finally appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, Chen Tian swept away his previous gloom and his face became excited again, leading Jia Yan to speed up and fly over.

Because the commotion Chen Tian had just created was too great, the city gate was already closed at this time, and seven or eight Pan family disciples in red clothes were guarding the gate with vigilant expressions.

When they saw Chen Tian and Jia Yan, who looked like a giant, flying over, the Pan family disciples, who only had Qi Refining cultivation, showed a strong look of horror on their faces.

However, because of their duties, they had no other choice. One of the Pan family disciples, who looked like a leader, stepped forward and asked weakly: "Who... who... who is coming?"
