Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The guest room wasn't large; a bed, a table, and a chair – a simple layout easily taking in everything.

Lai Shuangquan had just rushed inside and saw Chen Tian sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Zhang Laohan's portrait of him had been seen by Lai Shuangquan countless times, so the moment he saw Chen Tian, he immediately knew that this was his target.

However, Chen Tian seemed oblivious to anyone entering, his eyes closed, not moving an inch.

“Haha, I didn’t expect it to be so easy, Big Brother, we’re going to be rich this time!” Behind Lai Shuangquan, his underlings had also barged in, the burly man from before laughing loudly.

“Strange!” Lai Shuangquan looked at Chen Tian, still sitting motionless on the bed, a sense of unease growing within him, his eyes showing doubt.

“Hey, Big Brother, what's so strange? This kid didn't run, didn't shout. The way he is now, he's clearly scared stiff!” The burly man next to him sneered dismissively.

Lai Shuangquan nodded in agreement, saying, “That's true, maybe I'm just being paranoid! Alright, it's getting late, brothers, speed things up for me, we must get out of the city before dawn!”

At Lai Shuangquan's command, the ten men behind him immediately began to move.

They grabbed a black cloth bag, swaggered over to Chen Tian, and in one swift motion, slipped the bag over Chen Tian's body. Then, two men picked up the bag and began to retreat.

Lai Shuangquan and his gang had committed over a dozen cases, and they knew the routine very well. So, after kidnapping Chen Tian, they very skillfully ran out of Dingxiang Town and into the nearby forest.

“Big Brother, don't you think this guy is weird? Before, those people we kidnapped would be kicking and scratching in the bag, making a huge racket! But this kid is different, from beginning to end, he hasn't cried or made a fuss, like a wooden dummy!”

Leaving the flat official road, the gang of villains carried Chen Tian onto a muddy dirt path. Seeing that they were getting further and further away from Dingxiang Town, everyone's mood gradually relaxed. At this moment, seemingly confused by Chen Tian's behavior in the bag, the burly man walked up to Lai Shuangquan and asked him.

Lai Shuangquan was no ordinary person. He had been wandering the martial world since he was young and had seen many strange things. In addition, they were now approaching his territory, so Lai Shuangquan's courage grew. He grinned, sneering, “Hmph, who cares if he's weird or not, look at the material of the clothes this kid is wearing, it's extraordinary. He must be a young master from a wealthy family. When we get back later, we'll give this kid a taste of our medicine. With how delicate these young masters are, I'm afraid he won't be able to last long. When that time comes, we'll really be rich!”

“Hehe, Big Brother, you're the best!”

“Hmph, of course, otherwise how could I be your Big Brother! Just rest assured, as long as you follow me and work hard, in the future you will have wealth and status, you won't lack anything!”

Hearing Lai Shuangquan's encouragement, endless joy surged in everyone's hearts, and they shouted in unison: “Thank you, Big Brother!”

Lai Shuangquan seemed to enjoy these people's adulation very much. He nodded in satisfaction and continued, “Alright, let's hurry on our way.”

With that, Lai Shuangquan led the group to move quickly through the darkness.

Lai Shuangquan had set up his lair in an extremely hidden place. If someone were to come here for the first time without being led, they would definitely get lost.

Because it was all forest here, and the surrounding trees were almost identical in height and thickness. If you didn't look carefully, it was impossible to recognize the differences.

Lai Shuangquan had accidentally discovered this place before, so he used it as his lair. Every time he locked onto a target, he would kidnap them here and then slowly torture them.

Because these people all came from wealthy families and had never suffered any hardship since they were young, they would quickly give in under Lai Shuangquan's torture and intimidation, obediently handing over all the money they had on them.

This trick could be said to be foolproof for Lai Shuangquan, so at this moment, he also wanted to bring Chen Tian to his lair, and then slowly torture him.

After traveling for two hours under the stars and moon, they were finally less than a kilometer away from the lair.

Seeing this, everyone's faces couldn't help but light up with joy, and they all became excited.

“Ouch… so heavy! It’s killing me!”

However, at this moment, the two guys responsible for carrying the burlap sack suddenly stopped. Then, as if unable to bear the weight, they hurriedly put the sack containing Chen Tian on the ground.

Seeing that the two of them weren't moving, the others had no choice but to stop and gather around them.

“Zhang Lao San, Hu Lao Si, what the hell are you two doing? Why are you stopping here?”

Seeing that they were almost there, but now had to stop because of these two, Lai Shuangquan's face instantly darkened, and he shouted sternly.

“Big Brother, it's not our fault, we were walking fine, but I don't know what happened, this guy suddenly became incredibly heavy, weighing us down so much that we really couldn't walk, so we had to put him down first.” Hearing Lai Shuangquan's question, Hu Lao Si complained somewhat aggrievedly.

“Suddenly became incredibly heavy?” Hearing this, Lai Shuangquan frowned, as if feeling something was strange.

“Hmph, Hu Lao Si, if you want to slack off, just say so, why make up such a lie! This guy isn't fat, how heavy can he be? Forget it, forget it, we don't need you two good-for-nothings, Xiao Qi, come here, I'll carry it with you.”

At this time, the burly man who had been closely following Lai Shuangquan seemed unable to stand it any longer. After mocking them, he called out another person, Xiao Qi, to come to the side of the sack containing Chen Tian, wanting to lift him up.

This burly man was named Tian Niu, meaning that his strength was as great as a bull. And the Xiao Qi who was called out by him, although young, had developed a strong physique because he had been working in the fields since he was a child.

This scene greatly exceeded the expectations of the two, but they didn't believe it and exerted force again to lift it.

But even though their faces were flushed red, they still couldn't lift the sack even a little bit.

“Haha, Second Boss, you were so embarrassed to laugh at me just now, look, you can't lift it either!”

Seeing the two of them being deflated, Hu Lao Si, who had been ridiculed by Tian Niu earlier, seized the opportunity and mocked them back.

Hearing this, everyone seemed to find it interesting, so they laughed.

But in this laughter, Lai Shuangquan couldn't laugh. He stared intently at the sack containing Chen Tian, his eyes flashing rapidly, as if thinking about something!
