Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At this moment, the handsome man had already flown in front of Chen Tian. After retracting his sword, he smiled heartily at Chen Tian and said, "Indeed, I am He Yutang. While traveling here, I discovered that this vile creature intended to harm you, friend. In my haste, I killed it. Are you injured?"

Having said that, the handsome man named He Yutang looked at Chen Tian with concern.

However, Chen Tian did not rush to answer. Instead, he scrutinized him intently.

He saw that He Yutang's cultivation level was similar to Chen Tian's, both being at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Induction Stage. He possessed a refined temperament and an extraordinary appearance, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's pupils constricted. He retracted his gaze and said with a faint smile, "So it's Brother He. Thank you for your timely intervention, or I would have been injured by that demonic snake."

"Hmm?"

Faced with He Yutang's enthusiasm, Chen Tian sighed softly. Then, as if thinking of something, he took out the jade slip that Shi Changgeng had given him and held it in his hand.

Instantly, portraits of various individuals were transmitted from the jade slip to Chen Tian's mind.

After looking through the hundreds of figures recorded within, Chen Tian did not find the appearance of the handsome man before him.

Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then smiled and cupped his fist, saying, "Gladly, I am Ye Tianjian, and I am also very happy to meet Brother He."

This jade slip was given to Chen Tian by Shi Changgeng before he left. It contained records of some heretical cultivators who specialized in lurking around Qi Zhuang Town, engaging in murder and robbery.

Chen Tian had just carefully examined it and found that He Yutang's appearance was not recorded on it, which meant that he might be innocent.

Even so, Chen Tian would not tell He Yutang his real name. After all, this was only their first meeting, and Chen Tian had not fully discerned this person's character. It was better to be cautious.

"So it's Brother Ye, a pleasure to meet you!" He Yutang did not seem to notice the wariness in Chen Tian's heart. After smiling, he said, "By the way, why don't we travel together? This way, we can not only take care of each other, but also exchange insights on cultivation. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Again, unexpectedly, He Yutang actually wanted to travel with him.

To be honest, when he first asked Chen Tian's name, Chen Tian only felt that this person was a little enthusiastic, so he didn't take it too seriously. But now, hearing him propose to travel together, Chen Tian found it a little hard to accept. After all, even if someone was enthusiastic, this was a bit too much, wasn't it?

Although Chen Tian could not find He Yutang's appearance on the jade slip, it did not mean that Chen Tian completely relaxed his vigilance towards him.

Therefore, after some thought, Chen Tian shook his head and said, "Brother He, I am used to traveling alone and am not very comfortable traveling with others. Therefore, I cannot accept Brother He's kind offer. I'm truly sorry."

Hearing Chen Tian's polite refusal, He Yutang was slightly stunned at first, but then smiled generously and said, "Oh, Brother Ye, there's no need to apologize. It was I, He, who didn't consider it properly. In that case, let's part ways here."

"Eh..."

Chen Tian was surprised again, because He Yutang did not continue to pester him, but very readily let Chen Tian leave.

'Could it be that I'm being paranoid, and this person isn't an evil cultivator?' Chen Tian murmured softly in his heart.

"Hey, Brother Ye, what are you spacing out about?" Seeing Chen Tian's pensive and frowning appearance, He Yutang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, laughing heartily.

This pat woke Chen Tian up. He immediately came back to his senses, cupped his fist and smiled, "It's nothing, thank you for your concern, Brother He. Then we'll take our leave first. If there's a chance in the future, I will definitely have a good chat with Brother He."

He Yutang also smiled and cupped his fist, saying, "Alright, then it's settled. Farewell."

Chen Tian nodded, and then without lingering, he went all out, transforming into a stream of light and flying forward at top speed.

After Chen Tian left, He Yutang kept smiling as he watched him leave, but this smile gradually turned sinister from the initial friendliness, and he muttered to himself, "Don't worry, we'll be able to meet soon."

Just as he finished saying this, five figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Among these five people, the figures of four people were shrouded in a cloud of black mist, making it impossible to see their appearance clearly, but the aura emanating from them was very fierce, at least at the middle stage of Spirit Induction or above.

Among these people, there was also a young man at the fifth level of the Spirit Activation Stage, who did not deliberately conceal his appearance, but stood trembling aside.

"Yutang, what's going on? Why did you let that kid leave?"

After these people appeared, one of the men, who looked the most burly, questioned angrily.

"Hmph, what do you know?" He Yutang ignored his accusation, but said with a sinister look, "That guy is very clever. I can clearly feel that he is deliberately guarding against me, so even if I pester him further, I definitely won't be able to gain his trust, and instead, I'll arouse his disgust! Rather than that, it's better to let him leave like this for now!"

"Aiya, so annoying!" The burly man scratched his head and said impatiently, "I'm just a rough guy, I don't understand what you're thinking. I'll just ask one question, are you really sure that guy has a treasure on him?"

"This..." He Yutang paused, then looked at the only young man who hadn't concealed his appearance, and smiled strangely, "That's for him to answer!"

Hearing He Yutang's words, the other four people also turned their heads to look at the young man at the same time.

If Chen Tian were here at this time, he would definitely be shocked, because this young man was none other than the shop assistant named Xiao Chen in the stone house just now!

"I dare not hide anything from you, masters. I am certain that that guy must have an extraordinary background, because as soon as he arrived at the store, he offered to buy five thousand third-order or higher demon cores!" This shop assistant named Xiao Chen obviously didn't dare to provoke these people, and answered obsequiously.

"What? Five thousand demon cores?"

After hearing his words, the rest of them instantly became restless. They were all shocked.

Seeing this scene, He Yutang smiled slightly, and then took over the conversation, saying, "How is it? Now you know that that guy is extraordinary, right? As long as we can take him down, we will definitely gain a lot."

At this time, hearing He Yutang's words again, no one doubted its authenticity.

However, at this moment, a slender figure in the mist said, "But that guy has already run far away, how can we chase him?"

This voice was extremely pleasant to listen to, obviously a woman.

Hearing this, He Yutang sneered and said, "Don't worry, I have already made preparations on that guy's body. He can't escape from my palm!"

Having said that, a trace of ruthlessness suddenly flashed across He Yutang's handsome face!
