Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Of course, everyone knew that behind these Filin Eight Fiends, there was a force from the Icebound Demonic Domain.

Now that everyone had joined forces to kill them, they would naturally find it difficult to explain themselves when the Icebound Demonic Domain came to investigate.

Therefore, the red-haired man had just asked everyone to keep silent about this matter, only saying that the Filin Eight Fiends had died in a trap within the Demonic Ruins.

If one person committed the crime, then the Icebound Demonic Domain would definitely pursue their responsibility, but once everyone participated, then based on the principle that the law does not punish the masses, even if the Icebound Demonic Domain was unwilling, they could only swallow this bitter pill.

Moreover, those who were invited to enter the Demonic Ruins were all heroes, and this matter was initiated by the Seascape Sect, so even if the Icebound Demonic Domain wanted to pursue everyone's responsibility, they would have to weigh it carefully.

Therefore, as long as everyone could agree on a unified statement, then these Filin Eight Fiends would have died in vain, and they would not have to bear any responsibility at all.

Among them, the one who benefited the most was probably Chen Tian.

You should know that it could be said that Chen Tian had single-handedly killed the eight people, so if the Icebound Demonic Domain really wanted to cause trouble, then they would definitely attack Chen Tian.

Fortunately, due to a twist of fate, the people of the Seascape Sect wanted to take credit and joined the battle.

With the Seascape Sect joining, the others present naturally had to give them face, so they also took action.

As a result, it created the illusion that everyone had joined forces to kill the Filin Eight Fiends, so even if the Icebound Demonic Domain was angry, they probably wouldn't dare to be enemies with everyone.

In fact, Chen Tian guessed correctly, because in order to guard against the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, the Icebound Demonic Domain had invested heavily this time, using all their resources to make friends with cultivators all over the world, in order to add a bit of strength to the upcoming war.

Originally, they would not have cared about the Filin Eight Fiends, who were hated by everyone, but now they had no choice and had been forced to a dead end, so they used a lot of benefits to win over these Filin Eight Fiends, even promising them to enter the Demonic Ruins and study the Heavenly Dao artistic conception left over from the ancient Immortal Realm with everyone.

If this were to reach their ears, it would probably make them furious, and they would definitely go to Chen Tian for trouble.

However, after the red-haired man's suggestion, the responsibility was shifted from Chen Tian alone to everyone present, and as a result, even if the Icebound Demonic Domain knew the truth, they would have no excuse to do anything to Chen Tian.

Moreover, the methods that Chen Tian had just displayed had already proved his strength, and if they really wanted to avenge the Filin Eight Fiends, they would have to reconsider whether it was worth it.

Chen Tian quickly thought about it in his mind for a while, and finally came to a conclusion that the Icebound Demonic Domain would most likely let this matter go.

After all, the Filin Eight Fiends were already dead, and Chen Tian was still alive, so it was not worth it to offend Chen Tian for the sake of some dead people.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had not considered this point just now, and it was indeed his negligence.

After slightly stabilizing his mood, Chen Tian couldn't help but look at the red-haired man in red who had spoken just now.

After all, if it weren't for his suggestion just now, then things would not have been resolved so perfectly.

Just as Chen Tian looked at the red-haired man in red, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the man also suddenly turned his head, glanced at Chen Tian, and smiled faintly, as if he was greeting Chen Tian.

Chen Tian was stunned when he saw this, but he quickly stabilized himself and smiled at him as well.

Now that things had been dealt with, everyone returned to their respective positions, closed their eyes and rested, as if they were quietly waiting for something.

"I am Cao Qinghua, thank you very much for your help, fellow Daoist."

At this time, the senior brother surnamed Cao walked to Chen Tian's side, cupped his fist and smiled.

To be honest, if Chen Tian hadn't appeared just now, they would have been severely humiliated and taught a lesson by the Filin Eight Fiends by now.

At that time, the Seascape Sect's face would have been completely lost in their hands, and they would definitely be punished by the sect after returning to the Seascape Sect.

Therefore, Chen Tian's appearance happened to save them, so this gratitude at this time came from their hearts.

"Where… where! Brother Cao is too polite. I also said just now that I took action for the sake of the bounty. It's not really helping, so please don't take it to heart," Chen Tian said with a faint smile.

Looking at Chen Tian's humble appearance, Cao Qinghua was even more happy in his heart, but just at this moment, he asked with some embarrassment: "May I know how to address you, fellow Daoist?"

"Hey, it's my fault for not introducing myself earlier. My surname is Yang, and my given name is Ming. I am Yang Ming," Chen Tian still used his pseudonym.

"Oh, so it's Brother Yang. It's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you," Cao Qinghua smiled heartily, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry, after we go back this time, I will definitely give you double the bounty!"

Unknowingly, Cao Qinghua developed a lot of goodwill towards Chen Tian and lowered his guard.

Although Chen Tian had repeatedly hinted just now that he would not ask them to repay the favor, Cao Qinghua was born into an ancient family with a long history, and had been influenced by chivalry and etiquette since he was a child, so how could he neglect Chen Tian after Chen Tian had helped them so much?

Although the bounty given by the Seascape Sect was already generous enough, Cao Qinghua still doubled it, and this extra double was naturally his personal gift of gratitude to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian naturally understood what Cao Qinghua was thinking, so he didn't refuse and generously accepted it.

Back and forth, the relationship between the two became much closer without realizing it, so they chatted happily.

Chen Tian had been in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time, and he was also proficient in observing words and expressions, so after a few words, he quickly became one with Cao Qinghua.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, can we talk for a moment?"

Just as Chen Tian and Cao Qinghua were chatting and laughing, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

This person's cultivation was extremely high. Chen Tian couldn't even sense when he had approached. Surprised, Chen Tian hurriedly looked up and found that the person speaking was actually the mysterious old man in his group.
