Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Now that Chen Tian's identity had been verified, the leader no longer harbored any doubts. He cupped his fist towards Chen Tian and said, "I apologize for my earlier impoliteness, and I hope Fellow Daoist Chen will not hold it against me. My surname is Song, and my given name is Lin. These two are my fellow disciples, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Feng."

"I am Wang Bao..."

"I am Feng Rui..."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chen!"

After being introduced by Song Lin, Wang Bao and Feng Rui, who were standing behind him, immediately stepped forward and bowed to Chen Tian.

"I am Chen Tian, you are too kind, Fellow Daoists." Chen Tian replied with a slight bow.

After the pleasantries, Song Lin nodded and then said to the two, "Alright, I will discuss the details with Fellow Daoist Chen. You two should be on guard nearby, ensuring that no one approaches."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Song Lin's instructions, the two immediately nodded, and with a flash of their figures, one flew south and the other north, each going a hundred zhang away, their expressions solemn as they stood guard.

Seeing their serious demeanor, a hint of surprise flashed through Chen Tian's heart. What could be so important that it warranted such caution?

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's curiosity grew stronger, and he stared at Song Lin, as if waiting for his explanation.

Seeing the surprised look in Chen Tian's eyes, Song Lin seemed to see through his thoughts and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Chen, rest assured, we have no ill intentions in coming here. On the contrary, it will be of great benefit to you."

"You already said that." Chen Tian frowned slightly and said, "You said your master would help me advance to the凝海 (Ning Hai) realm as soon as possible."

To be honest, Chen Tian originally didn't want to pay attention to these people, but it was because of this sentence that he suddenly changed his mind and decided to have a good talk with them. After all, for Chen Tian, breaking through to the 凝海 (Ning Hai) realm as soon as possible was of utmost importance!

"Fellow Daoist Chen is right, we are here to find you on the orders of our master." Song Lin nodded, confirming the doubts in Chen Tian's mind.

But Chen Tian did not relax after hearing this, but instead pondered and said, "Okay, I have two questions, please help me answer them, Fellow Daoist Song. Then I will consider whether it is necessary to continue the conversation."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Chen, please ask any questions you may have. I will answer everything I know." Although Song Lin was a demonic cultivator, he was very well-mannered, and his words revealed a refined and courteous demeanor.

Chen Tian didn't waste any time after hearing this, and immediately said, "The first question, who exactly is the master you speak of? And what sect do you come from?"

Even now, Chen Tian still didn't know where these people came from, and they had mentioned their master many times, which obviously meant that this master was an extraordinary figure. So Chen Tian needed to first understand their identities.

After hearing Chen Tian's question, Song Lin seemed to have been prepared for it and didn't show any surprise, laughing softly, "It was indeed my fault for not revealing our identities earlier. Actually, the three of us are from the Icebound Demonic Domain, and our current master's name is Tongtian."

"Icebound Demonic Domain? Tongtian Master?"

Hearing these two names, Chen Tian was immediately stunned, because he had been traveling in the cultivation world for so long, but he had never heard of the existence of any Icebound Demonic Domain, let alone the name Tongtian Master, so the doubts in his heart not only did not decrease, but became even stronger.

Seeing this, Song Lin chuckled strangely and continued to explain, "It's not surprising that Fellow Daoist Chen has never heard of our Icebound Demonic Domain, because we don't operate in the cultivation world, but are hidden deep underground. We are a secluded demonic sect."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing Song Lin say this, Chen Tian finally understood a little. He was wondering, if a large sect like this really appeared in the cultivation world, there was no way he would have never heard of it.

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Tian's eyes flashed, and he said, "May I ask, how large is the scale of your Icebound Demonic Domain?"

Chen Tian had lived in the Ghost Dao Sect for a long time and knew some things about the demonic path. He also knew that the Ghost Dao Sect at that time claimed to be the leader of the demonic path in the world.

After the Ghost Dao Sect was destroyed, the Blood Demon Sect quickly rose and inherited the mantle of the Ghost Dao Sect, becoming the leader of the demonic path.

But today, an organization that suddenly emerged out of nowhere suddenly claimed that they were the orthodox demonic path in the world. This immediately shattered Chen Tian's understanding, causing him to be surprised.

Looking at Chen Tian's surprised face, Song Lin suddenly laughed softly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you don't know, whether it was the previous Ghost Dao Sect or the current Blood Demon Sect, they were actually just puppets we supported in the open, a channel for us to communicate with the cultivation world."

Although Song Lin's voice was still calm, his tone contained a hint of disdain, as if he didn't care about either the Ghost Dao Sect or the Blood Demon Sect at all.

However, Chen Tian was shocked after hearing his words.

If everything Song Lin said was true, then everything might really颠覆 (dian fu) Chen Tian's understanding.

You must know that even if the Ghost Dao Sect and the Blood Demon Sect were not strong, they could still be considered the former leaders of the demonic world. But now someone is telling you that they are both puppets of the Icebound Demonic Domain, and they can establish them or withdraw them as they please, how can this not be shocking.

However, after a little thought, Chen Tian suddenly believed what Song Lin said.

After all, the Sect Master of the Ghost Dao Sect only had the cultivation of the initial stage of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) realm, and although the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect was stronger, he only had the cultivation of the middle stage of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) realm.

With such strength, how could they have survived the siege of many righteous sects on the Qianyuan Continent?

Chen Tian had previously guessed that there might be a powerful organization behind them supporting them.

However, after hearing Song Yi's words, Chen Tian understood a little. Perhaps that organization was the Icebound Demonic Domain!

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but frown, because he suddenly felt that things had become extremely complicated.
