Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"So, Brother Yang, do you still want to join me in killing Ji Zhen?" Seeing Chen Tian's worried expression, Pan Linghai couldn't help but tease him.

Chen Tian's face turned even more unsightly upon hearing this, and he said dejectedly, "Sure, you can take off this spider web on me, put it on yourself, and then I'll gladly give you a sword and kill you. That way, we'll have killed Ji Zhen."

Although depressed, Chen Tian still didn't forget to retort to Pan Linghai.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man standing next to Pan Linghai angrily shouted again, "Boy, I advise you to know when to stop. Our Second Master fabricated Ji Zhen's identity specifically to lure you in, so if you continue to speak disrespectfully like that, believe me, I'll kill you right now!"

This middle-aged man was clearly Pan Linghai's confidant and was extremely loyal to him, so upon hearing Chen Tian's jest, his brow furrowed, and his body exuded killing intent.

Looking at the familiar yet incredibly unfamiliar young man in front of him, Chen Tian sighed softly in his heart.

In fact, Chen Tian should have thought of it earlier. As soon as he approached the Ji family's old residence, the Pan family began to keep a close watch on him. Under such intense scrutiny, how could any descendant of the Ji family remain in Ji City for more than a decade without being discovered?

From the middle-aged man's words just now, Chen Tian finally had confirmation: There was no Ji family descendant named 'Ji Zhen' at all. It was just Pan Weihai pretending.

And his purpose should be to take the opportunity to gain Chen Tian's trust and then obtain the Wind Spirit Orb!

The whole truth was revealed in that instant.

But after understanding all of this, Chen Tian felt endless regret in his heart.

But even if he regretted it now, it was already too late. The most urgent task was to escape as soon as possible.

But how easy would that be?

The young man standing in front of Chen Tian at this moment was no longer Ji Zhen, who was at the early stage of the Spirit Induction Realm, but Pan Family's Second Master, who had cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

He had been disguised for the past few days, spending time with Chen Tian day and night, and he had probably already figured out Chen Tian's details. So, escaping from under his nose was truly an extremely difficult task.

But even if it was difficult, Chen Tian had to try. Otherwise, his fate would probably be the same as Pan Xing's.

Thinking of Pan Xing, Chen Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "I really didn't expect that you would actually kill Pan Xing to gain my trust. Pan Xing was your great-grandson. How could you bring yourself to do it?"

Chen Tian found it truly incomprehensible.

To be honest, when Pan Linghai first appeared, Chen Tian didn't believe him and still harbored some doubts about his identity.

It wasn't until Pan Linghai personally killed Pan Xing in front of Chen Tian, using the most cruel means, that Chen Tian completely trusted him and believed that he was a descendant of the Ji family.

Otherwise, how could he have had such great resentment towards the Pan family's disciples?

But now that the truth was revealed, Chen Tian was terrified. He never expected that Pan Linghai would kill his great-grandson without batting an eye in order to gain his trust!

Now, when he recalled the tragic state of Pan Xing's death, Chen Tian couldn't help but shudder. There was actually such a ruthless person in this world!

But upon hearing Chen Tian's words, Pan Linghai's expression remained the same, without any change, and he smiled faintly, "What does killing a great-grandson matter? As long as I can trick the Wind Spirit Orb from you, our Pan family is very likely to produce an expert in the Transformation Spring Realm. For this, even if I have to kill all the low-ranking members of the Pan family, I, Pan Linghai, wouldn't care!"

As he said this, a cold and domineering aura suddenly erupted from Pan Linghai's body, causing the expressions of the two Spirit Induction Realm Pan family disciples beside him to change!

Chen Tian's expression also changed slightly upon hearing this, but he wasn't frightened, but rather somewhat surprised.

What did he mean by saying that after obtaining the Wind Spirit Orb, their Pan family would be very likely to produce an expert in the Transformation Spring Realm?

Could the effect of this Wind Spirit Orb be so great?

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.

Chen Tian had obtained this Wind Spirit Orb for more than a decade, but he had never studied it in depth. He only vaguely knew that this Wind Spirit Orb was incomparably precious. Otherwise, Pan Xingyu wouldn't have specifically killed Ji Tianyi for it.

But now, after hearing Pan Linghai's words, Chen Tian truly realized that the value of this Wind Spirit Orb was probably even greater than he had thought!

However, Pan Linghai obviously didn't notice the change in Chen Tian's expression. Instead, he sighed and continued, "It's a pity that Ji Tianyi, the young master of the Ji family, used some trick and gave that strange cyan jade slip and the Wind Spirit Orb to you together. Even though I already have the cultivation of the Spirit Gathering Realm, I just can't bypass that jade slip to obtain the Wind Spirit Orb. And it was precisely at this time that you began to doubt me, right?"

Pan Linghai's last half sentence was directed at Chen Tian.

At this time, Chen Tian had already recovered from his contemplation. After hearing his words, he nodded and said, "That's right. Originally, I had already believed in my heart that you were a descendant of the Ji family, but after seeing that you couldn't obtain the Wind Spirit Orb from under the cyan jade slip twice, I became somewhat suspicious again."

Chen Tian didn't lie, but told Pan Linghai his true thoughts.

Pan Linghai sighed again after hearing this and shook his head, saying, "It's really a pity. Such a small mistake caused all my previous efforts to be in vain, and it also forced me to kill you!"

At this time, the smile had disappeared from Pan Linghai's face, and he stared at Chen Tian with icy eyes, seemingly revealing a trace of helplessness.

Chen Tian's heart suddenly jumped when he saw this, and he asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that you had thought about letting me go before?"

"Of course!" Pan Weihai nodded without even thinking, "To be honest, I admire you very much, so I once changed my mind and decided not to kill you after obtaining the Wind Spirit Orb, but instead to befriend you. But now it seems that all these plans have fallen through, and I must kill you. If you have to blame someone, then blame fate!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It was indeed fate!

After being melancholy for a while, Pan Weihai's gaze turned sharp again, and he said coldly, "Alright, I won't say much more nonsense. Brother Ji, if possible, let's be friends again in the next life. But now, I must kill you to obtain the Wind Spirit Orb!"

As he spoke, a light knife condensed from spiritual power lit up in Pan Weihai's hand, and he gradually walked towards Chen Tian.

However, there was no hint of panic on Chen Tian's face. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Pan Linghai, do you really think that the Wind Spirit Orb is on me right now?"

Pan Weihai was stunned after hearing this, and then asked with icy eyes, "What do you mean by that?"
