Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Upon hearing Pan Xing's cries for help, Pan Weihai calmly replied, "Don't worry, Xing'er. They can't break the city wall's defenses. Just wait a moment. Once I activate my 'Heavenly Departure Art,' I'll kill them and rescue you."

Hearing this, Pan Xing felt a bit more at ease. He then shouted at Chen Tian and the blue-robed youth on the red bird's back, "Did you hear that? You can't break the city wall's defenses! Hurry up and let me down, or my Third Master will kill you with a single palm strike! Don't worry, if you let me down now, I'll beg my Third Master to spare your lives!"

This Pan Xing was quite the character, perfectly displaying the arrogance of someone who borrows power from others.

However, the blue-robed youth ignored his blustering and simply kept the red bird flapping its wings, slowly ascending into the sky.

When Chen Tian heard Pan Weihai say that there was an incredibly powerful city defense formation above the city walls, he was also quite surprised.

After blinking, he reached out and gently touched the sky to his left.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Tian's hand reached out a certain distance, a wall of azure light suddenly shimmered into existence in the previously invisible sky.

At the same time, an immense force of repulsion burst forth from this light wall, nearly knocking Chen Tian off balance.

Seeing this, the blue-robed youth immediately laughed and said, "Brother, please don't try again. That old thief is telling the truth. There really is an incredibly powerful city defense formation here."

Hearing the blue-robed youth's words, Chen Tian was even more surprised. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "If that's the case, how are we going to get out? He just said that without the cultivation of the Transformation Spring Realm, it's impossible to break this formation."

"Hehe, brother, you only know one thing but not the other. Although what that old thief said isn't wrong, there's actually a big reason behind it." A strange look appeared on the blue-robed youth's face.

Chen Tian became interested and asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what other reason is there?"

"Alas, let me tell you this. Actually, this city defense formation was set up by our Ji family's ancestor." At this point, the blue-robed youth became somewhat melancholic, sighing before saying, "It's just that later, our Ji family was exterminated, and the formation key was snatched away by that Pan family."

"Hmm, there's actually such a thing!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tian's eyes flashed, and a hint of shared hatred appeared on his face.

The blue-robed youth seemed to have recovered from his sadness at this time, nodding his head and saying, "Yes, but what the Pan family never expected was that although our ancestor set up this powerful city defense formation, he deliberately left a flaw at a certain node in the formation, just in case, so that future generations of the Ji family could break through from here when they were in trouble."

Hearing this, Chen Tian was shocked, but then he suddenly understood, saying with some emotion, "I really didn't expect it. Your family's ancestor was so farsighted. Isn't this exactly when we're in trouble?"

The blue-robed youth nodded again, saying, "Yes, so brother, don't worry. I'll activate that flaw in a moment and definitely send you out safely."

Looking at the blue-robed youth's resolute appearance, Chen Tian's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, and then he stopped speaking.

However, even though Chen Tian stopped talking, Pan Xing, who was still hooked in the red bird's claws, kept muttering, "Hey, I told you that you definitely can't escape. Why are you still going up? Oh, I see, is it because you know you can't survive this time, so you want to commit suicide by falling from a high altitude in order to avoid dying at the hands of my Third Master? Hehe, that's not bad either, at least it avoids the pain, right? Otherwise, if you fall into the hands of our Pan family, this young master will definitely let you taste what it's like to beg for death but not be able to die!"

It was unknown what was wrong with Pan Xing, but he actually became as garrulous as a middle-aged old woman.

The blue-robed youth seemed to have finally couldn't bear it anymore, angrily shouting, "Pan Xing, if you don't shut your mouth, believe it or not, I'll seal your spiritual power now and throw you down, so you can taste the pleasure of falling to your death first?"

After hearing this threat, Pan Xing lowered his head and looked down, discovering that they had already risen to a height of more than three hundred zhang. If he was thrown down from here and his spiritual power was sealed, then the final result would definitely be that he would be smashed into mincemeat.

Thinking of this, Pan Xing's body couldn't help but shiver, and he didn't dare to make a sound anymore, obediently closing his mouth.

Chen Tian also took a long breath at this time. To be honest, he was also annoyed by Pan Xing's constant chatter. Now that he was no longer speaking, Chen Tian really felt that the whole world had become quiet.

After ascending a little higher, the blue-robed youth seemed to have discovered something. A look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he patted the red bird's head again, signaling it to stop.

Chen Tian knew that this should be where the flaw node was located.

Chen Tian roughly estimated that this place was more than four hundred zhang above the ground.

But he also looked up and found that in the sky more than a thousand zhang above, he could still faintly see blue light flashing.

This showed that Ji City's city defense formation was at least several thousand zhang high.

Chen Tian couldn't help but marvel in his heart. This was indeed a great undertaking!

However, Chen Tian then began to stare at the blue-robed youth, as if wanting to see what he would do next!

He saw the blue-robed youth take out a green token from his sleeve.

This token was very similar to the red token previously used by the Pan family's disciples to open the city gate, except that its volume was much larger, more than a foot long.

After the blue-robed youth took out this token, he injected a trace of spiritual power into it.

Suddenly, bursts of green fluorescence flashed on the token.

He saw that in the place he was pointing at, there was also a node, but on this node, there was no blue light flashing, but rather it was dim.

Chen Tian was overjoyed at the sight. This must be the flaw node left by the Ji family's ancestor.

But before Chen Tian could be happy for too long, suddenly, at this moment, an immense pressure suddenly surged up from below!

Chen Tian's heart jumped. He knew that Pan Weihai's attack had finally arrived!
