Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Zhang Shixiong never expected that Lu Hao would be so respectful to a fruit thief, and even punish himself for him. Wasn't this madness?

The excitement of the previous moment turned into nothing in an instant because of Lu Hao's words. The huge impact it produced brought him a great shock, and it made him freeze in place!

"Senior Brother Lu, why are you so polite to this fruit thief? Are you crazy?"

In a daze, Zhang Shixiong's thoughts began to become confused, his eyes bewildered. At this time, he couldn't care about being respectful to Lu Hao!

Zhang Shixiong really did not expect that the fruit thief he caught was actually the honored guest that Master was talking about. This shock immediately made his mind tremble and he was extremely frightened, especially after thinking about his master's cold and ruthless personality, he was even more frightened.

He believed that if this matter was known to the master, then his fate might be even more miserable than the fate of He and Wu outside. He might be relegated to guarding the gate in this godforsaken fairy fruit forest for the rest of his life.

Thinking like this, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at Chen Tian with a pleading expression. He understood that the only one who could save him at this time was Chen Tian, whom he regarded as a 'fruit thief'!

Looking at the terrified gaze he cast, Chen Tian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To be honest, Chen Tian's purpose in coming to Ganquan Palace this time was only to visit the Mad Old Man, and he didn't want to cause any trouble. Moreover, Chen Tian understood that the reason why Lu Hao reprimanded this person so seriously in front of him was nothing more than to put on a show and show Ganquan Palace's respect and reverence for Chen Tian.

Chen Tian was not a muddleheaded person, so he naturally knew his intentions. Moreover, since the other party had already given him a step down, Chen Tian couldn't be too greedy. Besides, you have to see who the owner is before you beat the dog. Even if it was for the sake of Ganquan Palace and the Mad Old Man, Chen Tian couldn't make the atmosphere stiff.

Thinking like this, a kind smile suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's face, and he said: "Forget it, you were also loyal to your duty, which caused this misunderstanding, so I don't blame you, get up!"

As he spoke, Chen Tian flicked his right hand, and a golden aura shot out, lifting up Zhang Shixiong, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Huh?"

Lu Hao on the side couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation when he saw Chen Tian's actions.

You must know that in order to protect this Shen Xian fruit, their master specially set up countless powerful restrictions in this fairy fruit forest. Even a Zhutian realm expert would have their strength restricted to a certain extent, let alone other cultivators. As long as they stepped into this fairy fruit forest, the spiritual power in their bodies would be instantly frozen, and they would not be able to mobilize a trace. It was precisely because of this strict protection that no one had been able to steal the Shen Xian fruit for thousands of years!

However, at this time, Lu Hao discovered that even though he was in this fairy fruit forest full of powerful restrictions, Chen Tian's strength was not restricted in any way. His every move revealed a sense of ease and elegance, which surprised him very much.

Also, although Chen Tian's cultivation level seemed to be the same as his on the surface, both being in the early stage of the Ninghai realm, Lu Hao suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression when he stood next to Chen Tian, and he could only feel this pressure when he met his master.

'Could it be that this person's strength is already able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Master?' In endless shock, such a thought suddenly popped into Lu Hao's mind!

"No... it's impossible! No matter how you look at it, this person's cultivation level is only in the early stage of the Ninghai realm, so how can he be compared with Master, who is a Zhutian realm expert? I must be crazy to have such a thought!"

However, Lu Hao quickly denied it in his heart. After all, he felt that no matter how powerful Chen Tian was, it was impossible for him to fight against a Zhutian realm expert with the strength of the Ninghai realm! This is definitely a fantasy!

"Huh? Fellow Daoist Lu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

Seeing that Lu Hao's gaze had been fixed on him and his eyes were flashing rapidly, Chen Tian felt a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but ask.

His words instantly pulled Lu Hao's consciousness back from his wild thoughts. He first coughed dryly, and then reprimanded Zhang Shixiong, who was still kneeling on the ground, in a majestic tone: "It's rare for someone to be so benevolent and righteous and spare you, then why don't you quickly kowtow to thank him! At the same time, remember, if you commit the crime again next time, even if Fellow Daoist Chen spares you, I will never let you off lightly, do you understand?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Shixiong was as if he had been granted amnesty. He first kowtowed to Chen Tian, and then kowtowed to Lu Hao again, and said in surprise: "Thank you, Senior Chen, thank you, Senior Brother Lu. From now on, this disciple will definitely take this as a warning and reform himself."

"Very good." Lu Hao nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Okay, get up and go pick the fruit. I will personally welcome Fellow Daoist Chen to see Master. After you finish your work, just come and find us."

After saying that, Lu Hao ignored Zhang Shixiong and turned around with a smile on his face, facing Chen Tiandao: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please come with me? Master is already waiting for you in the Yingbin Pavilion."

"In that case, I'll bother you." Chen Tian also responded politely after hearing this. Immediately afterwards, the figures of the two turned into two streams of light and flew rapidly towards the other side of the fairy fruit forest.

Just after they left, Zhang Shixiong seemed to be weak all over, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground again, with cold sweat constantly on his forehead. At this time, he was still terrified, as if he had not recovered from the shock just now.

After all, who could have predicted that the fruit thief of the previous moment would turn into a guest of honor in the blink of an eye? And he almost caused a catastrophe because of this!

After taking deep breaths for a long time, Zhang Shixiong was considered to have calmed down a little. He looked up at the direction where Chen Tian left, frowned, and murmured softly: "Who is this person, that Master values him so much? Strange... so strange..."
