Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"What?"

Lin Chen's heart jolted upon hearing this, and he hurriedly and fearfully raised his head, asking in bewilderment, "Senior, we don't seem to have any grudges between us, do we? Why did you say you wanted to kill me as soon as we met?"

"Heh heh, you want to know the reason? Fine, I'll tell you. Blame it on the fact that you offended this kid!" Han Wuming chuckled strangely, then pointed at Chen Tian.

"Chen Tian?" Lin Chen was shocked, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He spoke again, "Senior, do you have some kind of relationship with this kid?"

"Of course, we have a relationship, and a big one at that! Because this kid is already one of us from the Ghost Dao Sect. And you offended him, which means you offended our Ghost Dao Sect. So, I want to kill you. Isn't that a valid reason?" A cold glint flashed in Han Wuming's eyes as he looked at Lin Chen with a playful smile.

"What? You're saying Chen Tian is a member of the Ghost Dao Sect? That's impossible!" Cold sweat streamed down Lin Chen's forehead as he repeatedly shook his head, saying, "He's clearly one of us from the Immortal Feather Sect. When did he join the Ghost Dao Sect?"

In fact, not only Lin Chen, but even Chen Tian looked incredibly shocked after hearing this. He didn't remember ever joining the Ghost Dao Sect.

Moreover, not to mention joining, he was hearing the name Ghost Dao Sect for the first time.

"Heh heh, what? Are you questioning this old man's words?" Facing Lin Chen's doubts, Han Wuming chuckled strangely and asked in return.

"No... I don't mean that, it's just... just..." Lin Chen felt his brain was in complete chaos, and he didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you don't believe it, then I'll make you believe it. Take a look, what is this!"

As he spoke, Han Wuming took out an object and threw it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen hurriedly caught it, but after just one glance, he exclaimed, "This... this is my Soul Jade Tablet?"

That's right, what Han Wuming had just given to Lin Chen was his Soul Jade Tablet.

"Hehe, now you know, right? This Soul Jade Tablet was given to me by your Sect Leader. And that kid was sold to our Ghost Dao Sect by your Sect Leader for three Blood Spirit Pills!"

As he said this, Han Wuming didn't look at Lin Chen but glanced at Chen Tian, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

And at this moment, Chen Tian's gaze gradually turned cold. He had guessed correctly. True Person Lanyang was not a kind person. He had been planning something for a long time, but Chen Tian hadn't expected that he would actually sell him to the Ghost Dao Sect.

Equally puzzled was Lin Chen. He was now unable to express the shock in his heart with words. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, his mouth dry, he hurriedly begged for mercy, "This junior didn't know that Junior Brother Chen Tian had joined Senior's Ghost Dao Sect, so everything just now was a misunderstanding. Please, Senior, for the sake of my master, True Person Lanyang, spare this junior this time."

This Lin Chen was also exceptionally clever. At this time, he deliberately brought up True Person Lanyang, his intention being to warn Han Wuming and tell him not to act rashly.

Han Wuming was an old monster who had cultivated for more than two hundred years. How could he not understand Lin Chen's thoughts? So, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "What? Are you trying to threaten me with that old ghost Lanyang?"

"No... no, that's not what this junior meant!" Seeing Han Wuming looking somewhat angry, Lin Chen hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Hmph, let me tell you, our Ghost Dao Sect adheres to being unrestrained and uninhibited, and we hate being threatened the most. Originally, I still wanted to spare your life, but now, I have no choice but to kill you!" Han Wuming's tone became even colder.

Lin Chen's heart suddenly sank. He regretted it, not expecting that his little cleverness would backfire and make Han Wuming even angrier.

"No, I can't die here. I have a great future ahead of me. I still want to become the Sect Leader of the Immortal Feather Sect!" Lin Chen panicked and became afraid. So, he secretly moved his feet, slowly retreating backward, wanting to escape.

However, how could his little trick escape Han Wuming's eyes? At this moment, he spread out his hands, and a white skull appeared on them.

Han Wuming smiled sinisterly and threw the skull in Lin Chen's direction.

The skull grew larger as it met the wind, instantly expanding and growing larger in the air. Its eyes flashed with a faint red light as it charged straight toward Lin Chen.

And Lin Chen, who had just wanted to escape, was immediately so frightened that his legs went weak upon seeing this huge skull, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Spare me... spare me, Senior, I won't dare to do it again..." Lin Chen sat on the ground, desperately kicking his legs, trying to get away from the approaching skull, while shouting loudly for mercy.

Where did the arrogant Lin Chen care about dignity at this time? His only thought was to save his own life, because he didn't want to die like this.

"Heh heh, kid, are you begging me for mercy?"

Han Wuming seemed to find it interesting, so he clapped his hands, temporarily stopping the skull's movements, and then said to Lin Chen, "Since you want to live so much, then you always have to show your sincerity first, right? For example, kowtow to me a hundred times, or something like that. Maybe then I'll be happy and consider letting you go, heh heh..."

Lin Chen's heart was immediately filled with joy when he heard Han Wuming say that he might be able to let him live. Without thinking, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed desperately to Han Wuming.

"I have eyes but couldn't recognize Mount Tai. I offended the esteemed sect's disciple. I am guilty. Please, Senior, don't blame me and spare this junior's life!"

At this time, Lin Chen no longer had the arrogant appearance he had before. In order to save his life, he kowtowed to Han Wuming again and again.

Seeing this scene, Han Wuming turned to Chen Tian and smiled, "Kid, did you see that? Just now, you won a bet against him, asking him to kneel down and kowtow to you and call you Grandpa, but he didn't agree. But now, I just said it casually, and he obediently knelt down and kowtowed to me automatically. Why is that? Do you understand?"

Chen Tian didn't expect Han Wuming to suddenly speak to him. He was stunned for a moment, but then he lowered his head and pondered.

That's right, Lin Chen had completely different attitudes towards himself and Han Wuming. And the reason for this can still be summarized in four words! The strong are respected!

Only when you are stronger than others will others fear you and obediently do what you say. This is true strength!

However, what Chen Tian didn't understand was why Han Wuming, who was so much stronger than himself, would stand up for him?
