After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 11: Public Opinion is Like a Knife, Using It to Kill

Great River Sword Sect, River Temple.

The onlookers gathered together, enjoying a whole watermelon.

Zhou Ran has already proven his innocence, but Tang Feng's resentment towards him and the Elder has deepened.

However, Tang Feng also knows that Zhou Ran and the Elder will receive some punishment, but it won't be too severe.

Meanwhile, his daughter has lost hope of giving birth because of these two idiots.

Tang Feng's emotions have been fluctuating greatly these past few days, and now he is on the verge of a breakdown. With tears in his eyes, he cries out in the main hall.

"I was so foolish, really, I shouldn't have used the assets of the Spiritual Medicine Valley as an incentive. Originally, Ruoling could have been saved..."

Through Tang Feng's words, which seem like accusations and self-blame, everyone finally realizes that Tang Ruoling was almost saved.

Yesterday, when Tang Feng and Zhang Chi were in the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Tang Feng suddenly remembered the issue of guarding the scripture pavilion.

The inheritance of a sect's techniques is of utmost importance, and everything else can be lost except for the scriptures in the pavilion. Therefore, the security of the scripture pavilion is the strictest, and thieves may not dare to come.

At that time, Zhang Chi explained the reason. Waiting for the rabbit was just one aspect, his real goal was to buy time to safely rescue Tang Ruoling.

Thieves who can easily steal from other sects without leaving any traces are more confident and willing to take risks.

Thieves won't easily give up on treasures they have obtained, so within a short period of time, this thief will be thinking about how to obtain the Xuan Yin Nine Transformations technique.

This period of time is the time for Zhang Chi to save people.

Moreover, Zhang Chi has made arrangements and has already found a clue, just one step away.

According to Zhang Chi's calculations, under normal circumstances, the thief shouldn't be able to break through the defenses of the scripture pavilion in a short period of time.

If there is no progress for a long time, the thief may give up.

But two or three days should be fine, the thief has moved Tang Ruoling to a safe place, and he should have the patience for this.

As everyone listens, they all feel that Zhang Chi's analysis is correct.

But who could have expected that there would be someone who thought he was clever, believing that the scripture pavilion was too safe and that the thief wouldn't dare to act, so he deliberately took out the technique as bait.

If he had successfully caught the thief, it would have been fine, but in the end, he didn't even see a trace of the thief, and the item was lost.

For a moment, many people present were disgusted.

If you want to fish, don't you know to use a fake as bait?

He actually used the real thing to fish!

Many disciples outside the hall were so angry that they wanted to rush in and beat Zhou Ran, but they didn't dare to do so because of the Elder's authority.

However, at this moment, they were also very dissatisfied with the Elder in their hearts.

Is this our Sword Sect's Elder?

Can't do anything right, the number one scammer.

While feeling disgusted with the Elder's greed and Zhou Ran's stupidity, they couldn't help but sympathize with Zhang Chi.

While Zhou Ran was thinking about stealing Zhang Chi's achievements, Zhang Chi was running around.

Many people saw how exhausted he was when he came back at night, and how hurried he was when he left in the morning. He even violated the rules by using his sword to travel faster in order to save people, and was caught by the Law Enforcement Hall and fined ten spirit stones.

When he hurriedly left, he didn't even know that a fire had broken out behind him.

And because he had no one to rely on, he had to go to the Spiritual Medicine Valley for help.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt sorry for Zhang Chi.

"If Senior Brother was leading the Law Enforcement Hall, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"If Senior Brother knew that his plan ended up harming Miss Tang, he would definitely feel very guilty."

Those who can think of this are all intelligent people.

When the thief captured Tang Ruoling, at most it was for the sake of coercion or seeking wealth, to use against the Spiritual Medicine Valley.

But now that they know Tang Ruoling has a special physique, the thief has gone to great lengths to obtain the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon.

If he knew he had fallen into the trap now, he would definitely seek revenge against Tang Ruoling in anger.

Even if he didn't know he had fallen into the trap, Tang Ruoling's nine transformations would not make much of a difference.

Nine times, that's nine times! Even cream puffs can't describe it anymore.

"Senior Brother is kind-hearted and responsible, but he may breed inner demons because of this."

"It's so difficult for disciples without a strong background to stand out. Senior Brother has already worked hard enough!"

At this moment, the disciples outside River Temple were all excited.

There was sympathy for Tang Feng and Tang Ruoling, dissatisfaction with Senior Brother's situation, and some concerns about their own future.

Senior Brother is everyone's role model. If no one speaks up for him today, they will all be Senior Brother in the future.

All these emotions eventually turned into anger towards the Elder and Zhou Ran. Suddenly, a brave warrior shouted loudly, "Chongxu, step down! Zhou Ran, get out of Sword Sect!"

Once someone started chanting the slogan, the emotions of others were instantly ignited.

"Chongxu, step down! Zhou Ran, get out of Sword Sect!"

The courage of the Sword Sect disciples shocked everyone in River Temple.

They really dare to shout!

A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. In fact, all of this was within Zhang Chi's expectations.

Holding a sharp weapon, the intention to kill arises.

This statement not only has a profound meaning, but also a literal interpretation.

When you hold a sharp weapon, your subconscious mind wants to cut something.

Even if it's just cutting the air or cutting flowers and grass, this kind of fighting spirit begins to brew in your bones.

And the Sword Sect disciples, who have been practicing swordsmanship for a long time and are in the prime of their youth, if they don't have this kind of spirit, if they don't shout in the face of injustice, then Sword Sect is just a joke.

The so-called using a borrowed knife to kill, he borrowed not Tang Feng, but the anger of the masses.

River Temple is the main hall for discussions and has no doors.

This is a ancestral rule. When discussing matters, disciples cannot enter casually, but anyone interested can listen from the side.

Except for some secret matters, which will not be discussed in River Temple.

Therefore, the discussions in the hall can be heard outside, and the opinions outside can also be known inside.

Public opinion is like a knife, and Sect Master Jiang Qingyun is the executioner in Zhang Chi's plan.

The knife has been handed to you, now it's up to you whether to wield it or not!

At this moment, Chongxu's face became even more gloomy, while Zhou Ran turned pale with fear.

He didn't expect that yesterday he was still in the limelight, overpowering Zhang Chi, making him afraid to fight, and the disciples of the Enforcement Hall would do as he commanded.

Yesterday, he was still so handsome, how did he end up like this today?

Zhou Ran instinctively looked at his grandfather, seeking help. But at this moment, Jiang Qingyun didn't intervene and let the two of them face each other.

At this moment, Zhou Ran pleaded for help, but all he saw were a pair of cold and stern eyes.

If this wasn't River Temple, with a group of people watching, Chongxu would have rushed over and strangled Zhou Ran to death.

This idiot!

Now he doesn't have the mind to care about Zhou Ran anymore, he just wants to save himself.

The position of the Elder should not be lost, after all, his mistake is not significant.

It's just a little plagiarism of the ideas of a junior, can that be considered a big mistake?

Of course, his authority will be affected, and Jiang Qingyun, this woman, will be arrogant for a while.

But that's all. He is a cultivator in the Divine Soul realm, late stage!

Of course, Zhang Chi also knows this, so he has prepared a package for Chongxu...
