Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Only after hearing Chen Tian's words did Ji Zhen finally stop crying. He wiped away his tears and stood up, but his eyes were still red, as if his heart was still filled with grief.

Chen Tian sighed again, then, as if thinking of something, he suddenly said, "That's right, didn't you ask me earlier what Senior Brother Ji Tianyi gave me before he died? Actually, he did give me two things."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Is this true? The young master really gave you two things?"

Chen Tian nodded and said, "That's right. Before Senior Brother Ji died, he personally handed me two things and asked me to come to Jicheng to give them to the descendants of the Ji family. The reason I went to the old Ji family mansion before was to look for any surviving descendants of the Ji family, but I didn't expect to attract the Pan family."

"Hmph, these hateful Pan family disciples!" Ji Zhen cursed angrily at this time, seemingly sharing the same hatred as Chen Tian.

Chen Tian smiled faintly after hearing this and said, "I thought all the Ji family descendants had been killed by the Pan family. Just when I was about to give up, I didn't expect you, Brother Ji, to suddenly appear. In that case, I will hand over what Senior Brother Ji Tianyi entrusted to me, which will be considered as fulfilling my mission."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Ji Zhen's eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and he said gratefully, "Brother Yang, you are truly a benefactor to our Ji family. Please accept a bow from your little brother!"

As he said that, Ji Zhen knelt down again, wanting to kowtow to Chen Tian.

Seeing this, Chen Tian hurriedly stopped him and said helplessly, "Brother Ji, if you continue to do this, believe it or not, I'll get angry!"

Chen Tian was really a little depressed. Hadn't he already kowtowed just now? Why was he kowtowing again now? Could it be that he had become addicted to kowtowing?

Seeing Chen Tian's insistence, Ji Zhen smiled honestly, then stood up again. After rubbing his hands, he said to Chen Tian in a low voice with some eagerness, "Brother Yang, I wonder where those two things are now?"

Chen Tian smiled upon hearing this, knowing that Ji Zhen was anxious. Therefore, he didn't waste any words. With a flip of his right hand, a blue round bead and a cyan jade slip appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing the appearance of this blue round bead, Ji Zhen's face suddenly became pleasantly surprised, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to grab it.

But at this moment, a ray of spiritual light suddenly shot out from the cyan jade slip, striking Ji Zhen's outstretched hand.

Being hit by the spiritual light, Ji Zhen seemed to be in some pain, and immediately retracted his hand as if by conditioned reflex.

Seeing this strange scene, Chen Tian and Ji Zhen were both stunned.

After a long while, Ji Zhen smiled awkwardly and asked, "Brother Yang, did the young master give you this jade slip too?"

Chen Tian nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right. Senior Brother Ji personally gave it to me, asking me to hand it over to the descendants of the Ji family along with the Wind Spirit Orb."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Ji Zhen nodded thoughtfully and smiled again, "Hey, maybe there was an accident just now. In any case, I still have to thank Brother Yang for bringing back the young master's things."

This time, the spiritual light was even stronger, and it actually burned a patch of scorch marks on Ji Zhen's hand.

Ji Zhen screamed in pain and immediately moved his hand away.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's heart sank, and his eyes flickered rapidly.

If the first time was an accident, then the occurrence of two identical accidents in a row was definitely not a coincidence!

This cyan jade slip was given to Chen Tian by Ji Tianyi before his death. Chen Tian had taken it out and observed it over the years, but it had never shown the strange appearance it had just now.

This made Chen Tian a little puzzled, and he secretly wondered, "What exactly is going on?"

While Chen Tian was pondering, Ji Zhen on the other side was a little angry.

He didn't expect that the Wind Spirit Orb was so close at hand, but he just couldn't touch it.

Ji Zhen seemed a little unwilling to believe this, his eyes sharpened, and he stretched out his hand again to grab it.

But at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly rolled up the Wind Spirit Orb and the cyan jade slip in his hand and put them back into his storage ring.

Seeing this scene, Ji Zhen was stunned for a moment, but then he lowered his voice angrily, "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this? This Wind Spirit Orb is the property of our Ji family. Don't tell me you want to seize it?"

To Chen Tian's surprise, this Ji Zhen was no longer as respectful as he had been just now, but instead became somewhat sinister.

However, Chen Tian's face remained unchanged, and he smiled faintly before saying, "Hey, Brother Ji, you misunderstood. Of course I know that this Wind Spirit Orb is the property of your Ji family, and I never thought of seizing it. It's just that I suddenly remembered something else just now."

As he said this, Chen Tian glanced at Ji Zhen with a smile that was not a smile.

Ji Zhen's heart jumped, and the angry look on his face slowly relaxed, and he changed back to a smiling expression, saying, "Hey, look at me, I'm just easily agitated! Brother Yang, don't take what happened just now to heart. I didn't mean to get angry at you."

Ji Zhen gave an honest apologetic smile, and then asked suspiciously, "By the way, I wonder what you thought of, Brother Yang?"

Seeing that Ji Zhen had changed back again, Chen Tian smiled slightly and said, "It's like this, I suddenly remembered that when Senior Brother Ji handed me these two things, he repeatedly told me to be sure to take the descendants of the Ji family to a place called Minghuang Mountain, where I could hand over the things to him."

"Oh, there's actually such a thing?" Ji Zhen's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he asked with some suspicion.

Chen Tian smiled again and said, "That's right, I remember very clearly, Senior Brother Ji did say that! Perhaps the strange appearance on the cyan jade slip just now is a restriction, and to break it, we must go to Minghuang Mountain."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Chen Tian's words, the look of surprise and doubt on Ji Zhen's face became even stronger.

After pondering for a while, he said with a smile, "Brother Yang, how about this, I don't want the jade slip, you just give me the Wind Spirit Orb, so that we don't have to go to Minghuang Mountain, and everyone will save trouble. What do you think?"

"That won't do!"

Chen Tian seemed to have expected him to say this, so as soon as Ji Zhen finished speaking, Chen Tian hurriedly shook his head and said, "Going to Minghuang Mountain was repeatedly instructed by Senior Brother Ji. Just now, because I finally met the descendants of the Ji family, I was too excited, so I forgot for a moment. Now that I've thought of it, then I must act according to Senior Brother Ji's instructions. Perhaps this jade slip records something very important?"

Seeing Chen Tian's firm appearance, Ji Zhen's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "Brother Yang, to put it bluntly, you are just an outsider. Why are you so concerned about the affairs of our Ji family? Could it be that you are plotting something?"

At this time, Ji Zhen was completely devoid of his previous amiable appearance, and instead became very strange!
