Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The scene before them truly exceeded everyone's expectations. They really hadn't imagined that after going through so much hardship to get here, what awaited them was all for naught!

Forget about any treasures, there wasn't even a hint of their presence!

Faced with this situation, He Busi and Li Qianyun felt nothing but despair and deep resentment.

After an unknown period, He Busi suddenly moved and began circling the space again.

Clearly, He Busi was still trying to anesthetize himself, unwilling and unable to accept the truth Chen Tian had stated.

Li Qianyun stood silently beside the pond, watching He Busi's figure constantly flitting past her.

However, Li Qianyun's expression gradually turned gloomy and impatient.

No matter how many circles he made, the cold, hard truth constantly reminded He Busi that everything he was doing was in vain!

Finally, after searching one last time, He Busi seemed to resign himself to fate and silently returned to Chen Tian and Li Qianyun's side. He had to admit that the treasures here might really have been taken by someone else!

Thinking this, He Busi couldn't help but sigh. Then, filled with guilt, he cupped his fist and said, "Brother Yang, Niece Qianyun, I truly didn't consider things thoroughly today, I'm afraid I made you two come all this way for nothing. I... I..."

"Heh heh? Didn't consider things thoroughly? That's a good excuse!"

However, before He Busi could finish speaking, Li Qianyun interrupted, "Senior He, do you think a simple 'didn't consider things thoroughly' can compensate for all my losses this time? I only agreed to come in with you because I heard you guarantee that there would definitely be treasures here. Now you want to fob me off with a simple 'didn't consider things thoroughly'?"

Although Li Qianyun was arrogant, she had only been bickering with Chen Tian before. In front of He Busi, she had always been extremely respectful. After all, her sect and He Busi's sect had been friends for generations, and they had known each other for a long time, so she dared not be disrespectful.

But now, she was unusually shouting at He Busi. Clearly, the anger she had accumulated in her heart had driven her to the brink of madness.

Chen Tian frowned slightly upon hearing her roar.

Although Chen Tian and this woman had a deep-seated feud, he could understand her anger at this moment. After all, Li Qianyun's sacrifice to get here was the greatest.

Chen Tian knew that Li Qianyun's chrysanthemum-like magical artifact was actually the source of her vital essence, the source of power she had condensed through her cultivation.

But in this adventure, her chrysanthemum had been attacked until its petals were withered, and she was seriously injured. As a result, Li Qianyun's cultivation had regressed by decades.

This was an incredibly significant loss for Li Qianyun, so how could she not be angry?

Faced with Li Qianyun's questioning, He Busi was speechless for a moment. Indeed, the cause of all this stemmed from him, and if he didn't take responsibility, who would?

But to be honest, He Busi was also quite pitiful.

Before coming in, he was full of confidence, believing that the treasures recorded by his ancestor were still intact, waiting for him to retrieve them.

But who would have thought that after actually entering, he would be faced with an empty grassland and an ordinary pond? Other than that, he didn't see even a trace of treasure.

So He Busi could also be considered a victim.

Of course, in front of Li Qianyun, He Busi was helpless, after all, all the fault lay with him.

Although He Busi wanted to defend himself, seeing Li Qianyun's angry and indifferent face, he could only wear a mournful expression and sigh with worry.

However, seeing this, the anger in Li Qianyun's heart not only didn't subside, but became even more intense. Staring at He Busi, she said coldly, "I understand now. Senior He, you already knew that there were no treasures here, but you deliberately didn't say anything, wanting to use our strength to enter this place. In fact, you have another ulterior secret that you're hiding from us, isn't that right?"

At this time, Li Qianyun, in great anger, had already begun to speculate wildly.

After hearing this, Chen Tian frowned again. Indeed, this could also be a reason.

Perhaps He Busi really had other plans and deliberately lured him and Li Qianyun to this place.

Thinking this, Chen Tian couldn't help but take a step back, away from He Busi.

Seeing Chen Tian's wariness and Li Qianyun's indifference, He Busi was suddenly shocked and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Niece Qianyun, don't talk nonsense! I really didn't know that this would happen, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" However, Li Qianyun didn't give him any chance to explain, and still said in a deep voice, "Senior He, don't think you can muddle through just because our Lanfang Sect and your Longting Pavilion have been friends for generations and have a close relationship! I'll make it clear. If you don't tell the whole truth today, then don't blame me for turning against you!"

Li Qianyun seemed to have lost her patience. After uttering this harsh sentence, she shook her left hand, and a pink long sword suddenly appeared in her left hand, pointing at He Busi!

Seeing Li Qianyun like this, it was clear that she wanted to start a fight.

Upon seeing this, Chen Tian's eyes flickered quickly, and then he continued to retreat, away from the two.

Earlier, he, He Busi, and Li Qianyun had all checked this place, but there was nothing unusual about it, just an ordinary pond. So he didn't pay attention to it.

But at this time, after glancing at it, Chen Tian seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and his eyes stared straight at the pond.

From the outside, the pond shimmered with emerald waves, as tranquil as a young lady from a good family, with nothing unusual about it.

However, despite this, Chen Tian stared intently at the constantly swaying water surface, his brow furrowed.

After staring for a while, Chen Tian said suspiciously, raised his head, and continued to look at He Busi and Li Qianyun's dispute.

But in his heart, he was thinking rapidly.
