Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the giant beside Duanmu Ya, who called himself an 'immortal,' frowned. Then, his size rapidly decreased until he was the size of a normal person.

Not only did this 'immortal's' body become that of an ordinary person, but his appearance also changed. Ultimately, standing before Chen Tian was a handsome, exquisitely dressed youth of only seventeen or eighteen years, possessing an extremely妖异 appearance.

"It's actually you!"

Although Chen Tian was somewhat prepared, his heart still couldn't help but skip a beat when he saw this person.

"How is it, Brother Chen? Didn't expect it, did you?" At this moment, Long Yinglie stood beside Duanmu Ya, asking Chen Tian from across the distance.

Chen Tian's gaze turned cold as he said, "Indeed, I thought of many people, but I never imagined that Duanmu Ya's accomplice would be you? How did you get in here?"

"Hehe, naturally, I followed behind Brother Chen, didn't I? If Brother Chen hadn't paved the way, I'm afraid my ancestor and I would never have been able to enter this place," Long Yinglie replied politely, but his tone couldn't hide his excitement.

"Ancestor?"

Hearing Long Yinglie's words, Chen Tian's expression changed drastically. Then, he stared at Duanmu Ya with a gloomy face, saying coldly, "So you were plotting against me from the very beginning?"

Chen Tian remembered that he didn't want to enter the whale's corpse initially, but Long Yinglie had encouraged him to go in and even gave him a ball of light, guiding him to Duanmu Ya.

Originally, Chen Tian thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seemed that from the beginning, Chen Tian had been trapped by these two.

Seeing Chen Tian's shocked appearance, Duanmu Ya laughed at this moment, delighted, "Lie'er, as the pride of our Flood Dragon race, you are the first to enter the Fallen Immortal Valley to rescue me. As for the other clansmen, some are even serving as demon kings in various places, but they have been ignoring me all along because they fear the dangers within this Fallen Immortal Valley! Hehe, after I get out this time, I will definitely settle accounts with them one by one."

Hearing Duanmu Ya's words, Long Yinglie immediately knelt down on one knee, respectfully saying, "Ancestor, you praise me too much. Actually, Lie'er didn't do anything, just used a small trick to get a reckless fool to be the pathfinder."

After saying that, Long Yinglie, kneeling on the ground, glanced at Chen Tian. Clearly, the 'reckless fool' he spoke of was Chen Tian!

"Haha, Lie'er, you don't need to be modest. This only proves that you are smarter than others. Don't worry, after I get out, I will officially designate you as the heir to the position of the next clan leader of our Flood Dragon race! I will not mistreat anyone who does their best for me," Duanmu Ya seemed very happy, unable to help but praise Long Yinglie.

And upon hearing these words, Chen Tian's heart once again churned with horror. He hadn't expected that this Duanmu Ya was actually from the Flood Dragon race, a demon beast!

Chen Tian felt helpless in his heart. He had indeed been careless in this trip to the Fallen Immortal Valley.

After saying that, Duanmu Ya raised his index finger and shot out a beam of cyan light towards Chen Tian.

Although there was a light array blocking it, this cyan light beam still shot towards Chen Tian very quickly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian secretly cried out 'not good' and immediately began to run.

However, Chen Tian's movements were still a bit slow. Just as his body began to move, the light beam shot out by Duanmu Ya had already arrived.

"Crack…"

The light beam shot straight into Chen Tian's forehead, and after making a sound like shattering glass, the restriction that Fairy Fang Qiong had placed on Chen Tian's forehead for protection shattered. A flame emitting a thick black light floated out of Chen Tian's body, appearing before Long Yinglie's eyes.

"It's you!"

After clearly seeing this flame, Long Yinglie was stunned, and then he stared at Chen Tian with a gloomy expression.

Of course, he remembered what this black flame was. It was the mark he had left on a human cultivator with Immortal bloodline in the Western Mi Mountains before.

Originally, this mark had always been within Long Yinglie's controllable range, but a few days before entering the Fallen Immortal Valley, he didn't know what happened, but this mark suddenly disappeared.

And this also meant two things.

One was that someone had spent a great price to forcibly seal this mark, so that Long Yinglie could not sense it.

The second was that the person marked had already died.

Because the first method was really time-consuming and laborious, it was a thankless task, so after losing the sense of the mark on Chen Tian, Long Yinglie tended to believe that Chen Tian was already dead.

However, what Long Yinglie never expected was that such a person, whom he had judged to be dead, would appear before his eyes again, and he hadn't even noticed it at close range.

This made Long Yinglie shocked and annoyed. He helplessly said to Duanmu Ya, "I failed to recognize this person's identity at the first moment, it was caused by Lie'er's lack of ability, which disappointed the ancestor, please punish me."

"Hehe, Lie'er, you don't need to belittle yourself. This matter can't be blamed on you. It seems that a highly skilled person helped this kid, so you couldn't detect it, so I won't blame you," Duanmu Ya chuckled.

Hearing this sentence, the somewhat frustrated Long Yinglie instantly became excited again.

At this time, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Duanmu Ya, "By the way, ancestor, I forgot to report something to you. Do you know why I marked this kid in the first place? Because I actually discovered traces of Immortal power on his body."

"What? Immortal power?" Hearing this sentence, Duanmu Ya's originally indifferent face instantly became horrified!
