Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian was indeed curious, because just now, at his most critical moment, this Ji Zhen had suddenly appeared.

And with his first words, he revealed his relationship with Ji Tianyi.

How could this not make Chen Tian feel puzzled?

Ji Zhen, who was on the side, laughed again after hearing this, and said, "Actually, this is also a coincidence. May I ask, Brother Yang, have you given two children a book called 'Ascension to Immortality' before?"

Chen Tian was shocked when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "That's right, there was such a thing."

"That's right then." Ji Zhen smiled and said, "It just so happened that I was also walking on the street at that time, and I happened to see the book in the child's hand. I was curious, so I stopped to ask who gave it to them. They pointed to you, Brother Yang, and I was immediately shocked. I hurriedly chased after you, but strangely enough, I could still see Brother Yang's figure the moment before, but I couldn't find you the next moment.

Afterwards, I thought about it and felt that this 'Ascension to Immortality' was a unique cultivation scripture of the Immortal Feather Sect, and my young master, Ji Tianyi, happened to be practicing in the Immortal Feather Sect, so I wondered if there was any connection between you?

So, I started searching for you, Brother Yang, all over the city. But at this moment, I discovered that the Pan family was also secretly inquiring about a cultivator, and according to their description, this cultivator's appearance was strikingly similar to yours, Brother Yang.

The only people that the Pan family would value so much are those related to our Ji family, so at that time, I concluded that you, Brother Yang, must be related to our young master Ji Tianyi, so I searched all the way and finally found you, Brother Yang, at the city gate."

After saying that, a look of joy appeared on Ji Zhen's face, as if he was happy to have arrived in time and saved Chen Tian, who was related to their Ji family.

After hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, Ji Zhen's words made a lot of sense, and the order was also correct. He had indeed concealed his figure after giving the two children the 'Ascension to Immortality'.

However, at this moment, a question arose in Chen Tian's mind again, and he asked Ji Zhen again, "I have also been to the old house of the Ji family. The Pan family has searched it thoroughly, and they have also killed everyone with blood ties to the Ji family. How were you able to escape?"

Seeing Chen Tian's suspicious look, Ji Zhen's expression was a little stunned, but soon, he smiled again and said, "Actually, Brother Yang, you don't know, our Ji family has a treasure land called 'Spirit Gathering Cave', which is located a hundred feet underground in the Ji family's mansion. The spiritual energy inside is hundreds of times stronger than outside.

Our Ji family ancestors discovered this cave and decided to build the mansion above it because the spiritual energy here is abundant, so whenever a member of the family is about to break through, they will go inside to cultivate in seclusion.

But I never expected that when the Pan family suddenly launched a massacre against our Ji family ten years ago, I was at a critical juncture in breaking through from the Qi Induction stage to the Spirit Guidance stage. After obtaining special permission from the family, I entered this Spirit Gathering Cave to cultivate in seclusion.

But I never expected that when I successfully broke through and emerged from seclusion, I found that the Ji family no longer existed, and the Pan family was searching everywhere in the city for any clansmen related to the Ji family. I was afraid in my heart, so I hid back again, and that's how I barely escaped this disaster!"

At this time, Ji Zhen closed his eyes, as if he was recalling the bloody and cruel night ten years ago.

After Chen Tian heard his words, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more.

After a long while, Ji Zhen seemed to have finally recovered from his memories, and asked Chen Tian suspiciously, "By the way, Brother Yang, do you know where my young master Ji Tianyi is now? For more than ten years, the reason why I have been staying in Jicheng is to wait for him to come back, but unfortunately, I haven't even received a single message!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian's face froze, and he asked in surprise, "Don't you know about Senior Brother Ji's matter?"

Ji Zhen shook his head and said, "In order to avoid the Pan family's pursuit, I have been trying to show my face as little as possible, so I know very little about the outside world. However, I have engraved our Ji family's unique secret code in several conspicuous places. If the young master comes back, he will definitely be able to contact me through these secret codes."

Looking at Ji Zhen's bewildered look, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly, "Then I advise you not to wait any longer. Senior Brother Ji will never come back."

"What?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Ji Zhen's expression suddenly became horrified, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by saying that the young master will never come back?"

Chen Tian sighed again, and then told him the story of how Pan Xingyu killed Ji Tianyi that day.

Chen Tian tried to help Ji Zhen up, but no matter how hard he tried, Ji Zhen didn't move.

Only Ji Zhen said with a sad face, "Of course Brother Yang can afford it. You killed Pan Xingyu and avenged my young master. This great kindness and virtue should naturally be thanked by me, the only descendant of the Ji family."

After saying that, Ji Zhen kowtowed to Chen Tian several times.

Chen Tian shook his head when he saw this, but he didn't say anything more.

After kowtowing, Ji Zhen finally stood up again. After thinking for a while, he asked, "By the way, Brother Yang, since you were the last person to see my young master, do you remember if my young master gave you anything?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Ji Zhen's question, Chen Tian pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Pan Xing, who had been unconscious on the side, suddenly woke up faintly.

As soon as he woke up, he shouted at Chen Tian and the others, "Where is this? What do you want to do by bringing this young master here?"

After hearing Pan Xing's noise, Chen Tian and Ji Zhen immediately stopped talking and turned to look at him.

Especially Ji Zhen, whose eyes were filled with endless anger, walked up and slapped him hard on the face.

Pan Xing was a little dizzy from Ji Zhen's slap, and he asked him in surprise, covering his burning cheeks, "You... how dare you hit me?"

"What's wrong with hitting you?" Ji Zhen sneered and said, gnashing his teeth, "Not only will I hit you, but I will also kill you, believe it or not!"

After saying that, Ji Zhen shook his left hand, and a long sword flashing with a faint red light appeared in his hand. After sneering, he walked towards Pan Xing.

Pan Xing's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and he said with a look of horror, "You... are you really going to kill me?"
