Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Oh, Uncle Qi, I forgot to tell you.” Before Chen Tian could speak, Ling Zizhe interjected, “On the way back, Wenmei and I were attacked by people from the Demon God Sect. We almost died.”

“What? Young Master, you were ambushed by the Demon God Sect? Are you alright?” Hearing Ling Zizhe's account, Uncle Qi immediately became anxious.

Ling Zizhe's father was constantly busy with family affairs and had no time to care for Ling Zizhe. It could be said that Uncle Qi had raised Ling Zizhe from a young age, treating him like his own son. That's why he was so worried at this moment.

Ling Zizhe smiled and said, “Uncle Qi, there's no need to worry. At the most critical moment, this senior helped us, allowing me to escape safely. Then, he escorted us all the way home. To express my gratitude, I repeatedly begged him, and he finally agreed to stay at our mansion for a few days.”

‘Oh, this kid suddenly got smart!’

Hearing the reason Ling Zizhe made up, Chen Tian nodded in satisfaction in his heart. He was originally worried that this guy would say that he was forced by Chen Tian to reluctantly agree to let him live in the Ling family, but he didn't expect this guy to come up with such a plausible reason.

However, Chen Tian felt that something was wrong. Suspicious, he looked at Ling Zizhe.

After taking a look, Chen Tian couldn't help but reveal a strange smile. He saw that Wenying's hand was grabbing the corner of Ling Zizhe's clothes and constantly tugging it rhythmically.

Wenying pulled once for each word Ling Zizhe said.

Obviously, Ling Zizhe's words just now were all spoken under Wenying's guidance.

‘This guy will definitely be henpecked in the future.’

Chen Tian smiled casually, then retracted his thoughts, cupped his hands towards Uncle Qi, and said politely, “My name is Chen. I will be bothering you for the next few days.”

Uncle Qi, of course, knew this well. After expressing his gratitude for Chen Tian's kindness, he took the recovered Dusk Spirit Sword and the Ling family members and flew away, leaving Ling Zizhe in full charge here.

After everyone left, Ling Zizhe and Wenying breathed a long sigh of relief, obviously quite frightened by the situation just now.

However, after calming down, the two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of affection.

Chen Tian didn't want to interrupt the two of them flirting, but he couldn't just stand there like an idiot, could he! So he couldn't help but cough, reminding them that there were still people nearby.

After hearing Chen Tian's cough, Wenying and Ling Zizhe seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly separated, their faces flushed red.

Chen Tian smiled lightly when he saw this and said, “Alright, after this tribulation, you will have plenty of time to be intimate in the future. There's no need to rush. Take me to settle down first.”

Chen Tian's words were full of teasing, and Wenying and Ling Zizhe naturally understood, so their faces became even redder.

After a while, Wenying was the first to recover. After adjusting her emotions, she bowed slightly to Chen Tian and said, “It was this junior's poor hospitality. Senior, please follow us.”

Saying that, Wenying once again took out her banana leaf fan and cast a ray of light on it to enlarge it. Then, she pulled Ling Zizhe and jumped onto it, flying towards the southeast direction of the Ling family.

Chen Tian smiled when he saw this and followed them.

The Ling family had been entrenched in Dongli City for many years, occupying an extremely large manor with mountains, rivers, and everything else.

Looking to the east, there were rows of very magnificent pavilions and towers, which were obviously where the Ling family members usually lived.

However, Chen Tian had already instructed Wenying and Ling Zizhe that he didn't like noise and it was best to find a secluded place to live.

So, after discussing with Ling Zizhe, Wenying decided to place Chen Tian on the back mountain in the southeast of the Ling family.

This back mountain was usually used by the Ling family members for cultivation and seclusion. It was divided into three levels. Ordinary family members could only use the seclusion caves at the foot of the mountain, while family elders could use the seclusion caves at the waist of the mountain. As for the seclusion place at the top of the mountain, it could only be used by the Ling family head and the direct line of the Ling family, and outsiders must not approach it.

Therefore, Ling Zizhe felt that arranging Chen Tian in the cave dwelling at the top of the back mountain should be the safest approach.

This idea was also affirmed by Chen Tian, so the three of them traveled at full speed and soon arrived at the front of the Ling family's back mountain.

This giant mountain was a thousand feet high, surrounded by clouds and mist, and covered with lush vegetation.

Logically speaking, such a high mountain should have become a landmark of Dongli City, but what was strange was that Chen Tian did not see this mountain outside the Ling family. It was as if it did not exist.

After a little thought, Chen Tian understood the principle.

It should be that when the Ling family ancestors set up the protective illusion array, they also specially shielded this mountain to prevent the outside world from seeing its existence.

However, what Chen Tian couldn't understand was that he didn't know why the Ling family had to specifically hide this huge mountain. Could there be some special reason for it?

Of course, this was someone else's family matter, and Chen Tian was not easy to ask.

“Senior, what do you think of this place?”

At this time, Ling Zizhe carefully asked Chen Tian. In his eyes, Chen Tian's temper was extremely strange, and he couldn't grasp it at all.

Chen Tian observed the spiritual mountain wrapped in clouds and mist for a while, nodded in satisfaction, and said, “Not bad, let's make it here.”

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Ling Zizhe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he took out a green token and injected a trace of spiritual power into it. After a while, a burst of green light flashed on it and shone towards the giant mountain.

Under the illumination of this green light, the thick clouds and mist on the top of the mountain suddenly split to the left and right, revealing an elegant stone room.

After the clouds and mist completely dispersed, Ling Zizhe and Wenying urged the banana leaf fan to fly to the stone room first.

Seeing this, Chen Tian looked around for a while, pondered for a moment, and then finally set off and caught up with them.

The stone room at the top of the mountain was extremely large and beautifully decorated. Many exquisite patterns were carved on the walls.

When Chen Tian arrived, Wenying and Ling Zizhe were already guarding the door, welcoming Chen Tian.

However, at this time, their faces were very solemn, their backs deeply bowed, and they did not dare to breathe loudly.
