Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

As this person approached, both Fang Zhu Zhenren and the bald man noticed him, their expressions changing simultaneously.

Especially the bald man, upon seeing this person appear, involuntarily trembled, seemingly very fearful.

Although the bald man's movement was very subtle, it did not escape Chen Tian's eyes, and he quickly came to a conclusion: there must be a great connection between the bald man and this person.

Under the collective gaze of everyone, the handsome man with the flute in his waist finally flew back. He stopped beside Chen Tian, a faint smile appearing on his face, and he stared at the bald man, laughing: "Xu Mo, it's been thirty years! You've made it hard for me to find you!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian's heart jolted, further confirming his guess that the person before him was indeed related to the bald man.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian frowned, then secretly looked at the handsome man standing beside him, his mind racing, calculating whether this person was friend or foe.

Just as Chen Tian was wondering, the bald man's face darkened again, his lips twitching as he angrily said, "Ling Xiaozi, you lackey of the Cultivation Alliance, how dare you show your face before me? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now to avenge my three hundred disciples and grandchildren!"

It turned out that this bald man was once the master of a sect, but when the Cultivation Alliance issued the 'Extermination Order,' this Ling Xiaozi came to his door and killed most of his disciples and grandchildren, using it as a war achievement to join the Cultivation Alliance and become a Venerable.

That was why the bald man appeared so angry when he saw Ling Xiaozi.

"Haha, Xu Mo, it's not easy for us to meet again, yet you treat me with such an attitude? All our past acquaintance and brotherhood is wasted." Hearing the bald man's accusation, Ling Xiaozi seemed unconcerned and laughed loudly.

"Bah, I finally understand now that the most untrustworthy people in this world are those so-called brothers. One moment they're laughing and talking, the next they're selling you out for personal gain. I was blind to call someone like you my brother, ultimately leading to the destruction of all my disciples and grandchildren. I, Xu Mo, swear to never coexist with you under the same sky!"

Clearly, the grievances between the bald man and Ling Xiaozi ran deep, and there seemed to be other secrets involved.

However, Ling Xiaozi shook his head with a light smile, ignoring him and instead turning to Chen Tian, saying, "To verify the identity of this fellow Daoist, please present the 'Order Token' for me to authenticate."

Hearing this, Fang Zhu Zhenren and the bald man were both stunned. They wondered if Ling Xiaozi had come to help Chen Tian.

However, Chen Tian's face did not change. Through the conversation between the two just now, he had already determined that Ling Xiaozi was a member of the Cultivation Alliance.

Since that was the case, Chen Tian didn't need to worry. After all, he had no grievances with the Cultivation Alliance, and they wouldn't make things difficult for him for no reason.

As for why the other party suddenly appeared here, Chen Tian also had some speculation. It should be that when he passed through Mingdong City, the old Huquan realm elder guarding the city reported his whereabouts.

Although he couldn't yet determine the purpose of Ling Xiaozi's visit, Chen Tian could confirm one thing: this person was definitely not an enemy!

After thinking about it, Chen Tian nodded lightly, took out the red jade command arrow from his storage ring, and handed it to Ling Xiaozi.

Ling Xiaozi took it and carefully examined it for a while, then nodded with a smile: "It is indeed the 'Order Token' bestowed by our Cultivation Alliance. In that case, you must be Chen Tian, Fellow Daoist Chen, right?"

"You know me?"

Hearing Ling Xiaozi say his name, Chen Tian was immediately shocked and asked.

"Of course." Ling Xiaozi said with a smile, handing the red jade command arrow back to him. "When I came, Venerables Hong and Lan specifically instructed me to send their regards to Fellow Daoist Chen on their behalf."

However, Chen Tian's face did not show too much joy. Instead, he frowned, still thinking quickly in his heart.

Ling Xiaozi slowly glanced at everyone, and then "puchi" he laughed strangely. Then, he shook his head and said, "You're wrong. I'm only here to convey greetings from Venerables Hong and Lan and have not received orders to intervene in your dispute. So, I will not take action."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Zhu Zhenren and the bald man both breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Cultivation Alliance did not intervene, they could kill Chen Tian without any scruples.

On the other side, the look of joy on Qin Yi's face instantly froze, and she looked at everything in despair, sighing inwardly.

However, Chen Tian's expression had not changed from beginning to end, and he did not show any disappointment.

"Haha, Ling Xiaozi, let's put aside the grievances between us for now, but since you've already agreed not to help this kid, then I'll kill him first to avenge my disciples and grandchildren!"

Originally, the bald man already hated Chen Tian to the extreme. Now, seeing Ling Xiaozi appear, it instantly made the anger in his heart multiply several times.

After all, Ling Xiaozi's cultivation was comparable to his, and even slightly higher, so killing Ling Xiaozi was extremely difficult for him.

Since he couldn't deal with Ling Xiaozi, the bald man collectively transferred these two angers to Chen Tian, he wanted to tear Chen Tian into pieces to vent the resentment in his heart.

Thinking this way, the bald man sneered sinisterly, and then his figure moved, flying towards Chen Tian.

However, Chen Tian at this time still remained unchanged, standing still in place, making it impossible to see what he was thinking in his heart.

Seeing this, the bald man sneered, and then grabbed out with his big hand, about to grab Chen Tian!

But at this moment, Ling Xiaozi suddenly moved, only to see him rush in front of Chen Tian, forming a wall of light with hand seals, pushing forward, blocking the bald man's offensive.

Seeing this scene, the bald man was first stunned, and then became furious: "Ling Xiaozi, didn't you just say that you wouldn't help this kid? What's going on now?"
