Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"What? Do you doubt me?" Chen Tian asked, his tone icy.

"No... No... Not at all, Senior. This junior would never presume such a thing!" Wen Ying's forehead was beaded with sweat as she hastily explained, "It's just that this junior finds it strange. The Demon God Sect's recent activities have been far too great. The entire cultivation world has spontaneously formed a 'Demon Extermination Alliance,' calling on cultivators everywhere to oppose the Demon God Sect. Everyone knows about this, but you, Senior, seem completely unaware. That's why this junior..."

"There's nothing strange about it," Chen Tian interrupted her roughly before she could finish. "I was contemplating a new sword technique, so I secluded myself here for a hundred years. It's only natural that I wouldn't know about outside affairs."

"What? Secluded yourself for a hundred years to contemplate a sword technique?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Ling Zizhe's expression instantly changed drastically. He had never imagined that there could be someone in this world with such great perseverance.

Seeing his expression, Chen Tian felt a sense of relief. It seemed that Duan Muya had caused quite a stir on the Qian Yuan Continent, shaking the entire cultivation world. However, because Chen Tian had been trapped in the Fallen Immortal Valley for a hundred years and knew nothing of the outside world, Wen Ying had become suspicious.

What pleased Chen Tian, however, was that after his probing, he was certain that Jin Chi had not appeared on the Qian Yuan Continent in the past hundred years.

After all, Jin Chi was born for the purpose of taking revenge on the human, demon, and monster races. With his violent nature, he would surely cause a bloody storm on the Qian Yuan Continent.

However, it was very strange that Jin Chi had remained dormant for the past hundred years, not even appearing on the Qian Yuan Continent. Even with Ji Ao and Duan Muya causing such a commotion, he had ignored it.

This was an unusual sign.

If there was an explanation, then there was only one possibility: Jin Chi was also severely injured, even more so than Ji Ao. Although he had recuperated for a hundred years, there was still no improvement.

Otherwise, he would never have allowed Ji Ao and Duan Muya to be so arrogant.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

In fact, when Chen Tian decided to close the Fallen Immortal Valley with his death, he had done something to Jin Chi. Taking advantage of Jin Chi's carelessness, Chen Tian secretly imprinted a trace of his scent on him.

You must know that after Chen Tian's two provocations, the Profound Yin Corpse Devouring Insects in the Fallen Immortal Valley had already deeply remembered Chen Tian's aura, and they were all eager to eat him the next time they met him.

Therefore, Chen Tian left his scent on Jin Chi with the intention of making those Profound Yin Corpse Devouring Insects mistake Jin Chi for Chen Tian, so as to transfer all their hatred for Chen Tian to Jin Chi and frantically besiege him.

Chen Tian didn't know if his idea had succeeded, but now it seemed that it was likely to have worked.

It was under the burden of those Profound Yin Corpse Devouring Insects that Jin Chi's injuries were further aggravated, and he dared not appear for a hundred years.

Of course, Chen Tian would definitely not tell Wen Ying and Ling Zizhe about these things, so he made up an excuse to deceive them.

After adjusting his expression, Chen Tian put on a serious look again and turned to look at Wen Ying.

He saw that the woman was frowning, staring at Chen Tian, seemingly doubting his words.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's face darkened, and he raised his voice and shouted coldly, "Just now, Chen was at the most critical moment of experimenting with a sword technique. However, I didn't expect you to suddenly break in and disrupt my thoughts, causing my efforts of nearly a hundred years to be in vain and suffer heavy losses. Shouldn't we settle this account now?"

Chen Tian's words were like a bolt from the blue. When Ling Zizhe heard Chen Tian say that he wanted to settle the account, he was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, constantly kowtowing and admitting his mistake.

In fact, Chen Tian was completely making trouble out of nothing. Where did his heavy losses come from? He just wanted an excuse to divert the attention of the two.

Seeing Ling Zizhe being frightened like this, Chen Tian felt quite satisfied, because his goal had been achieved.

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Wen Ying's expression also changed drastically in an instant. However, compared to Ling Zizhe, Wen Ying was a smart person. She knew that Chen Tian's strength was far above them. If Chen Tian had murderous intentions, then neither she nor Ling Zizhe could resist. Therefore, the best way now was not to confront Chen Tian, but to choose to cooperate with him.

Thinking of this, Wen Ying no longer hesitated, and handed the sealed box she had just taken out to Chen Tian, respectfully saying, "Senior, just now this junior unintentionally offended you, which is entirely my fault. Here is a small gift, I hope Senior will accept it and not blame me."

Seeing Wen Ying offering the box, Ling Zizhe was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out.

Seeing this, a deep look flashed in Chen Tian's eyes.

Just now, through the spiritual consciousness stored in the two corpse puppets, he had already seen what happened between Wen Ying and Yuwen Bao.

Wen Ying's words were extremely clever. First, she flattered Chen Tian, and second, she dispelled Chen Tian's concerns with the improper source, everything seemed reasonable.

Chen Tian was naturally not a fool. Since someone had handed the treasure to you, why not take it?

Therefore, Chen Tian waved his right hand and grabbed the box in his hand.

After a cursory inspection, Chen Tian found that the talisman sealing the box was actually a high-grade talisman. No wonder Wen Ying couldn't open it.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian threw the box into his storage ring, and then looked at Wen Ying and the others and said indifferently, "Since you are so kind, then I will accept it. You can get up."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Wen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then helped Ling Zizhe to stand up.

However, before they could stand still, Chen Tian turned his right hand and suddenly took out two black pills, handing them to them and saying, "You should take these!"
