Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

By the time Chen Tian finally flew to the Shi Xiang Pavilion, the number of people gathered around him had exceeded fifty.

The majority of these fifty-odd people were those he and Liao Yu Fan had rescued from the pursuit of the demon beasts, while the rest wanted to come over and band together for warmth.

After all, Chen Tian's side had a large and powerful force, and these scattered cultivators would feel a sense of security by joining in.

Among these fifty-odd people, apart from Chen Tian, there was no other cultivator who had reached the Spirit Guiding stage, but even so, they had killed countless demon beasts along the way, and even worked together once to kill a seventh-order demon beast!

Although Chen Tian played the most important role in the killing process, the cooperation of more than fifty people behind him still gave Chen Tian a lot of help, allowing him to easily chop off the demon beast's head.

This made Chen Tian once again feel the benefits of teamwork.

Furthermore, when Chen Tian and others flew to the sky above the Shi Xiang Pavilion, it caused a small panic.

After all, a large force of more than fifty people flying over made uninformed people think that an enemy was coming to attack.

But fortunately, Liao Yu Fan was a member of the Shi Xiang Pavilion, and after some explanation, the vigilance of the crowd dissipated.

Next, Chen Tian and the others were divided into several groups and dispersed.

Those who came out of the West Mi Mountains would be specially formed into a team and taken to a stone room for detailed questioning.

Those who had not approached the West Mi Mountains would either leave or join the 'Demon Extermination Team' led by the Shi Xiang Pavilion, in groups of dozens, led by a Spirit Guiding stage cultivator, and head to the vicinity of the West Mi Mountains to drive away demon beasts.

However, Chen Tian was left alone at this time. Liao Yu Fan invited Chen Tian to a secluded wooden room and asked him to wait there for a while, then left him alone.

This made Chen Tian feel a little puzzled, but he was not too worried, because after getting along with Liao Yu Fan along the way, he had completely trusted him and knew that this person would never harm him.

Thinking like this, Chen Tian sat leisurely on the wooden chair in the room and began to wait.

Chen Tian first took out a package. After opening it, dozens of large and small round beads appeared inside.

These round beads were of different sizes and colors, and were exactly the demon cores they had found along the way.

Because Chen Tian and Liao Yu Fan were the leaders, the demon cores they received were the most.

Especially Chen Tian, as the strongest in the group, the only seventh-order demon beast's demon core was naturally given to him.

Chen Tian picked up a yellow round bead the size of a glass ball from this pile of large and small demon cores with two fingers.

This was the demon core of that seventh-order demon beast.

After all, such an opportunity can be said to be once in a hundred years, oh no, once in ten thousand years. If you miss it, then you don't know when the next time will be.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's eyes began to flash rapidly, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

"Creak..."

However, at this moment, the door of the wooden room where Chen Tian was located was suddenly pushed open, and a pot-bellied middle-aged man walked in.

This made Chen Tian temporarily give up thinking. After putting away the demon cores in his hand, he immediately stood up.

Because Chen Tian recognized that this middle-aged man's cultivation had already reached the early stage of Spirit Gathering, so he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Behind the middle-aged man, Liao Yu Fan also walked in with a smile on his face, and made a playful face at Chen Tian, looking very interesting.

Chen Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, but quickly restrained himself and stood there calmly.

After the pot-bellied middle-aged man entered the room, he walked straight to the head seat in the middle, and then sat down without hesitation. From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Chen Tian directly.

This made Chen Tian's brows furrow slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything and remained standing quietly.

After picking up a cup of spiritual tea on the nearby tea table and taking a sip, the pot-bellied middle-aged man perfunctorily opened his mouth to Chen Tian: "I heard from my disciple that you happened to come out of the West Mi Mountains when the changes happened. Is that right?"

There was a hint of arrogance in the man's tone, which made Chen Tian feel a little unhappy.

Liao Yu Fan on the side seemed to have heard something wrong and hurriedly said: "Master, this Brother Ye's skills are extraordinary. It was he who protected us all the way back. Can your attitude be a little better?"

So this person is Liao Yu Fan's master.

But this made Chen Tian even more puzzled, because the attitudes of these two people, one treating people with fiery enthusiasm, and the other treating people with icy coldness, didn't look like master and disciple at all!

Sure enough, after hearing Liao Yu Fan's plea, the pot-bellied middle-aged man glared his eyes and scolded as if blaming: "Presumptuous, your teacher is asking questions, is there a place for you to interrupt? Go stand aside!"

After hearing the middle-aged man's scolding, Liao Yu Fan seemed a little angry, pouted his mouth and walked to the side, no longer speaking.

Chen Tian sneered in his heart after seeing this. He knew that the reason why this person was so arrogant was probably to give him a show of strength and had been applying a pressure on Chen Tian ever since he came in, forcing him to submit.

However, Chen Tian would not fall for his trick and said calmly: "Answering senior's words, I did enter the West Mi Mountains today, but when the anomaly occurred, I had already flown back, so I don't know what exactly happened inside."

"Eh!"

Looking at Chen Tian's calm and unhurried appearance, the middle-aged man was a little surprised. He had rarely seen any Spirit Guiding stage disciple who could resist the pressure he released.

After staring at Chen Tian again, the middle-aged man's face became even more gloomy and said coldly: "I heard from my disciple that you are Ye Tianjian, a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect? Good, then I ask you, do you have any proof on you?"
