Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The eyes of the two corpse puppets gleamed with flashes of light as they intently watched Chen Tian, their expressions filled with joy, as if waiting for Chen Tian to praise them.

Looking at their gazes, which resembled those of a loyal puppy, Chen Tian pondered for a moment before asking, “Did you two specifically find this Ganoderma lucidum to offer to me?”

Although the corpse puppets couldn't speak, they nodded vigorously after hearing Chen Tian's question, and then gestured to him with both their hands and feet.

Through these somewhat clumsy gestures, Chen Tian gradually understood what they wanted to express.

It turned out that while they were chasing a demon beast, they happened to see this Ganoderma lucidum growing on the top of a towering tree. So, they changed their target, specifically climbed up the tree trunk, picked the Ganoderma lucidum for Chen Tian, and hurried back to present it to him.

This action was clearly expressing their loyalty to Chen Tian!

After understanding this meaning, a slight smile suddenly bloomed on Chen Tian's usually cold face. He didn't throw away the Ganoderma lucidum, but solemnly put it away.

“I, Chen Tian, accept your kindness.”

Chen Tian smiled as he showed the two corpse puppets the storage ring in his hand.

Seeing Chen Tian accept their gift, the two corpse puppets also seemed very excited, chirping and yelling at Chen Tian.

Although Chen Tian didn't understand what they were saying, he could tell the excitement in their hearts. So, he waved his hand and said with a smile, “Alright, I'll give you two more hours. Continue to look for food. After two hours, we will leave this place.”

Chen Tian originally planned to leave immediately, but considering the filial piety of these two corpse puppets, he specially allowed them to hunt for another two hours.

After receiving Chen Tian's permission, the two corpse puppets also seemed extremely excited. They bowed to Chen Tian again, and then their figures flashed, like two ghosts disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.

Chen Tian smiled slightly at the sight, then leaned back on the boulder again, intending to take another nap.

“咻…”

But just as he was about to lie down, a green light hurriedly shot from a distance and landed on his shoulder.

The green light dissipated, revealing a green caterpillar.

As soon as the caterpillar appeared, its body immediately lengthened, and in a short while, it transformed from a caterpillar into a three-foot-long green snake.

It was the Emerald-Eyed Viper.

It turned out that when those demon beasts left, Chen Tian secretly released this Emerald-Eyed Viper, attached it to the tortoise demon beast's shell, and followed them all the way to gather information.

Although this Emerald-Eyed Viper also belonged to the demon race, it was an ancient species, and its status and preciousness were unmatched by these demon beasts born and raised in the Qian Yuan Continent.

Therefore, ordinary demon beasts couldn't detect its existence at all. According to Chen Tian's estimation, perhaps only Ji Ao could recognize the true face of the Emerald-Eyed Viper.

But Ji Ao was not here at this time, so Chen Tian didn't need to worry that anyone would recognize the Emerald-Eyed Viper, so using it to eavesdrop on information was the most appropriate thing to do.

The reason why Chen Tian placed it on Wen Ying's hair was the same.

At this time, after the Emerald-Eyed Viper returned to Chen Tian's side, it intimately wrapped around his neck and stuck out its tongue, constantly licking Chen Tian's face.

After playing for a while, Chen Tian smiled and said, “Alright, let's talk about serious business first. What did they say together?”

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the Emerald-Eyed Viper moved its body, went from Chen Tian's left ear to his right ear, and reported to him with a 'hissing' sound.

Although Chen Tian didn't understand snake language, because he had signed a contract with this Emerald-Eyed Viper, he could communicate directly with it through its soul without any obstacles.

So, at this time, Chen Tian easily understood the content narrated by the Emerald-Eyed Viper.

“Hmm? Are you saying that the purpose of those demon beasts this time is to go to the Ling family?” After listening to the Emerald-Eyed Viper's report, Chen Tian frowned even tighter.

“Hiss…”

The Emerald-Eyed Viper nodded at Chen Tian, indicating affirmation.

“This is strange.” Chen Tian propped up his chin with his right hand and began to ponder.

In fact, without much thought, Chen Tian could guess that those demon beasts were going for Wen Ying.

After all, the snake-headed strong man had told Chen Tian that they were from the 'Demon God Sect'.

Before that, Wen Ying had just betrayed the Demon God Sect, taking the Ling family's treasure, the 'Twilight Spirit Sword', and returning to the Ling family with Ling Zizhe.

That's right, the Ling family had nothing to do with him anymore, and Chen Tian didn't need to wade into this muddy water.

Whether the Ling family lived or died, what did it have to do with Chen Tian?

Thinking this way, Chen Tian smiled freely and stood up from the boulder.

At this time, the setting sun had completely fallen into the mountains, even the last ray of light was swallowed up, and the strong night shrouded the sky, pitch black!

Chen Tian looked up at the sky, secretly calculating the time in his heart. After realizing that the hour was late, he hooked his fingers and put them into his mouth, blowing a loud whistle.

This whistle was particularly prominent in the silent mountain forest, and in a short while, it penetrated layers of trees and spread to dozens of miles away.

At this time, a rustling sound of grass and trees swaying echoed from the distant mountains, apparently something was rapidly darting through the bushes.

This was Chen Tian summoning the two corpse puppets back, so they could leave here early and travel overnight.

After all, Chen Tian had been out of the Ghost Dao Sect for over a hundred years. For these hundred years, Chen Tian had been trapped in the Fallen Immortal Valley and unable to escape. He didn't know what the situation was like in the Ghost Dao Sect.

Perhaps Han Wuming and Qin Yi both thought Chen Tian was dead.

And if he quietly went back and appeared in front of them at this time, they might think they had encountered a ghost and scream loudly.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but chuckle, seemingly feeling that this idea was very good.

The two corpse puppets didn't know where they had run off to this time. A stick of incense's worth of time had passed, and they still hadn't returned. It seemed they had to wait a little longer.

Chen Tian felt bored, so he lay back on the boulder again, staring blankly at the starry sky.

The weather was very clear tonight, allowing many stars to be revealed.

Looking at these dense stars, like grains of sand on the beach, a scene inexplicably emerged in Chen Tian's mind.

The appearance of this scene immediately made Chen Tian feel anxious.

Chen Tian slowly turned his head to the south, his eyes gleaming, not knowing what he was thinking!
