Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

It turned out that from beginning to end, the middle-aged man had been suspecting Chen Tian's identity, but because he didn't have enough certainty, he didn't expose Chen Tian.

But this didn't mean that he would give up investigating Chen Tian's identity. The carrier pigeon he had just sent out was going to fly to the Xuanqing Sect in Canglong Continent.

Moreover, it also carried Chen Tian's aura that the middle-aged man had secretly collected. Once the Xuanqing Sect replied that Chen Tian was not a disciple of their sect, he would mercilessly subdue Chen Tian.

It was only because Canglong Continent was far away from the Ximi Mountains that it would take at least a month for the carrier pigeon to travel back and forth, so he let Chen Tian stay here for a month.

If it was proven that Chen Tian was innocent by then, he would of course give him the promised Dragon Saliva Pill; but if not, he would hand Chen Tian over to the Xuanqing Sect and let them deal with him.

After all, having suffered a loss once, this middle-aged man didn't want to suffer a second time!

… … … … … … … …

At this time, Chen Tian had no idea that a crisis was about to befall him.

At this moment, he was following Liao Yufan to the courtyard outside. Sure enough, in the northeast corner, a team of thirty people was gathered, standing neatly as if waiting for someone.

"Brother Ye, this is the fourteenth demon-extermination team. From today onwards, you will be our captain." Liao Yufan introduced Chen Tian while leading him towards the group of people.

Chen Tian nodded with a smile after hearing this, and then followed Liao Yufan forward.

In fact, Chen Tian was quite emotional in his heart. He didn't expect that one day, he would actually become the captain of a thirty-person team.

This could be considered an official, albeit a pitifully small one.

"Is that you? Stop right there!"

However, just as Chen Tian and Liao Yufan were walking forward, a cry of surprise suddenly came from behind them.

Chen Tian frowned upon hearing this. He didn't have any acquaintances here, so how could someone call out to him?

However, despite his doubts, Chen Tian hurriedly turned around. After taking a look, Chen Tian was immediately stunned.

Less than three zhang behind Chen Tian, a burly man was pointing at him with an angry expression, and next to him, there was a delicate and beautiful woman, wringing her hands, looking at a loss.

What was even more surprising was that this woman's appearance was exactly the same as that of Hua Wanting, whom Chen Tian had met in the Ghost Dao Sect, except that the two had completely different temperaments.

"Bah, who is destined with you! Tell me quickly, where did you take my Junior Brother Cao?" However, unlike Chen Tian's enthusiasm, the man surnamed Fang looked angry and questioned him.

Qin Yi, who was on the side, seemed to feel that this was not good, so she hurriedly said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Fang, we can't be sure that Senior Brother Cao's disappearance has anything to do with this fellow Daoist. It's better not to speak so angrily."

"Humph, what's so uncertain about it? Junior Brother Cao said he wanted to get to know this person, so he followed him, but who knew that he has been missing ever since. I'm afraid he must have been poisoned by this scoundrel!" The man surnamed Fang didn't listen to Qin Yi's words, but instead stared at Chen Tian with fiery eyes, as if he had already identified him as the murderer.

After hearing the whispers between the two, Chen Tian immediately understood in his heart that they thought Chen Tian had killed Cao Sui!

After figuring this out, Chen Tian suddenly felt depressed in his heart. He really didn't know whether he should laugh or cry now.

If judged solely from the result, Cao Sui's death was indeed related to Chen Tian to some extent.

But it wasn't Chen Tian who killed Cao Sui, but Cao Sui wanted to kill Chen Tian but failed, and instead flew into the depths of the Ximi Mountains and was killed by the demon king.

However, Chen Tian also knew that if he explained it to them like this, they would definitely not believe it.

And Chen Tian wouldn't be foolish enough to tell them what happened in the Ximi Mountains at that time.

So, after thinking for a while, Chen Tian immediately showed a sad expression and said, "First of all, I apologize to the two of you. I have indeed seen Brother Cao, but at this time, I'm afraid he has already died and his Dao has disappeared."

"What? Senior Brother Cao is dead?"

After hearing Chen Tian's words, a trace of astonishment appeared on Qin Yi's originally beautiful face, and she was stunned in place for a long time without saying a word.

The man surnamed Fang next to her became even more angry at this time, and roared loudly at Chen Tian, "It really was you who killed Junior Brother Cao, you traitor, I will kill you now to avenge Junior Brother Cao!"

After saying that, he immediately raised the long sword in his hand and rushed towards Chen Tian.

Chen Tian shook his head helplessly, then flicked his finger, and a golden light ball shot out, hitting the man surnamed Fang's long sword, and immediately turned into a force of a thousand pounds, causing the long sword to fall to the ground.

"Ah!"

The man surnamed Fang's tiger's mouth was also torn open with a bloody gash, and he screamed in pain.

But even so, the man surnamed Fang still roared angrily, "You traitor, you killed my Junior Brother Cao, I will never let you go."

Hearing this accusation, Chen Tian suddenly smiled bitterly in depression and said, "Did I say that I killed Brother Cao?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the man surnamed Fang was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Tian smiled and said, "Actually, Brother Cao caught up with me and said that he knew of a high-level demon beast's cave. He really wanted to go in and kill it to obtain the demon core, but he was worried that his strength was not enough, so he wanted to ask for my help. Originally, I didn't want to go, but seeing him begging bitterly, I just had to agree to him.

But who knew that just as we arrived at the demon beast's cave, we happened to encounter a change in the Ximi Mountains, and all the demon beasts became violent.

Seeing this, I knew it was not good, so I rushed out with Brother Cao, but unfortunately, there were fierce and incomparable demon beasts everywhere. During the escape, I got separated from Brother Cao. Presumably, at this time, he is already in grave danger."

Speaking of this, Chen Tian sighed, as if he was a little self-blaming.

After hearing Chen Tian's words, although the man surnamed Fang didn't completely believe it, his attitude softened and he asked suspiciously, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it is." Chen Tian smiled slightly and said, "With my mid-stage Spirit Induction Realm identity, is it worth lying for this mere trivial matter?"

"Spirit… … Mid-stage Spirit Induction Realm?"

After Chen Tian revealed his strength, the man surnamed Fang and Qin Yi were immediately stunned!

After a long while, the man surnamed Fang apologized in extreme panic, "Senior, please don't blame me, it's this junior who was presumptuous. If there is any disturbance, I hope senior will forgive me."

"It's okay, as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty!"

Chen Tian smiled magnanimously, then seemed to have thought of something again, and asked suspiciously, "By the way, how did you guys end up here?"
