After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 16: How Could He Possibly Be a Bad Person

Under Tang Feng's narration, the cloud of doubt that hung over everyone's hearts slowly dissipated.

During the day, Tang Feng believed that Tang Ruoling was beyond saving, which led him to cause a commotion at the Sword Sect. However, even at that time, Zhang Chi never gave up.

This was because he was certain that Tang Ruoling had not left Clear Water Port Town.

Coiling Dragon River was home to many water creatures, which were relatively calm during the day but highly active at night.

For safety reasons, there were almost no boats sailing on Coiling Dragon River at night.

Flying on a sword was also not a viable option. Flying on a sword at night was like shining a bright light and attracting attention, making it easy for hunters to attack and for others to discover.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that the thief would do such a thing. Zhang Chi's description of this had an element of gambling, but as long as he could save a life, he didn't mind working a little harder.

It was known that no boats left at night, and the first boat during the day was intercepted by Zhang Chi.

At that time, he hadn't received Tang Feng's support yet, but he had managed the security of the market for a long time, so he had some connections. He had people prohibit boats from leaving the port in advance.

After obtaining Tang Feng's Elder Token, no boats left either.

Afterwards, Zhang Chi and his men searched the town everywhere, ensuring that the thief had no chance to move Tang Ruoling.

They continued like this until nightfall, when Zhang Chi wrote a mysterious letter to Tang Feng, explaining his plan.

Upon learning that there was still a chance to find his daughter, Tang Feng naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, Zhang Chi suspected that there was a mole, so he quietly went down the mountain alone and agreed to meet in the town at night. Tang Feng naturally followed suit.

The two searched the town and suddenly Zhang Chi discovered a basement. To be safe, he asked Tang Feng to guard outside while he went down to investigate.

Not long after, a battle broke out in the basement, and Tang Feng hurriedly went down to support, only to see Zhang Chi being knocked away by someone.

It turned out that there was another exit in the basement, and the thief escaped through it.

Zhang Chi quickly said, "You go after him, I'll save the person."

At this point, Tang Feng had already unquestioningly followed Zhang Chi's instructions, without any thoughts of his own.

Then, Zhang Chi discovered that Tang Ruoling had been poisoned and quickly took her out of the basement to start detoxifying her.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ran burst in at this moment. Tang Feng failed to catch the enemy and heard the commotion here, so he quickly turned back to support, otherwise Zhang Chi would have lost his life under Zhou Ran's sword.

The subsequent events are well known to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran stiffened all over. He couldn't accept this fact.

If this was true, wouldn't he be in trouble again?

Moreover, it would alarm the sect leader and so many elders to come and watch the excitement. How could he hold his head up in the future?

In a fit of anger, he only wanted to continue biting at Zhang Chi.

"Tang Master, if that's the case, did you actually see the thief's figure? What if Zhang Chi deliberately acted to deceive you?"

That's right, Zhou Ran guessed the truth.

Zhang Chi was the only one present, and he didn't have anyone else pretend to be the thief. The fight scene was indeed fake.

But people only believe what they see with their own eyes.

Tang Feng disdainfully looked at Zhou Ran and said, "In such a short time, if it were you, could you deceive me?

And even if Zhang Chi could pretend to fight someone, could he break a Law Weapon with his strength?"

As Tang Feng spoke, he asked Zhang Chi to take out the heart-shaped lock he was wearing.

This heart-shaped lock was already cracked. Without the strength of the Foundation Building Stage, it was impossible to achieve such an effect.

There were witnesses and physical evidence, and the thief's agility was indeed remarkable. After stealing so many times without being caught and quickly escaping the scene without being caught by Tang Feng, this was nothing out of the ordinary.

Chen Runyu couldn't help but angrily say to Zhou Ran, "The facts are right in front of you, and you still refuse to believe it? Do you have to slander Senior Brother Zhang Chi as the thief to be satisfied?

If Senior Brother Zhang Chi really was the thief, why would he stage such a performance?"

Zhou Ran was left speechless by the criticism. Indeed, his logic did not hold up.

If Zhang Chi was a thief, or had any connection to thieves, why would he go through all this trouble?

Zhou Ran's statement is simply outrageous.

Even the elder couldn't help but want to kick Zhou Ran a few times.

If you want to slander him, at least come up with something convincing.

What's the use of randomly throwing dirt at someone?

Chen Runyu continued to angrily criticize, "What grudge do you have with Senior Brother? When Tang Gu was about to kill you, he pleaded for your life. But what about you? If it wasn't for Tang Gu's appearance earlier, Senior Brother would have died by your hands.

Clearly, Senior Brother was no longer resisting, and there are so many of us here. Why did you have to go all out and kill him? I think you're the accomplice of the thief, trying to silence Senior Brother!"

"I didn't! I didn't collude with the thief, I've already proven it!" Zhou Ran denied three times.

"Then do you dare to swear that you had no intention of harming Senior Brother?"

This time, Zhou Ran fell silent.

He indeed did not collude with the thief, but he had plenty of intention to harm Zhang Chi.

Sometimes, silence is the best answer.

The young disciples present all looked at him with eyes full of hatred.

Jiang Qingyun also coldly said, "Elder, you have worked hard and achieved much, but you should not neglect the discipline of the younger generation.

At the beginning, this incident could be considered a misunderstanding, Zhou Ran acted impulsively. But now that the truth is clear, he still wants to slander and bite. His intentions are truly sinister."

The other elders looked towards the elder, even the two neutral ones clearly stood on the side of the sect leader this time.

"Elder Chongxu, Zhou Ran has made repeated mistakes. He was punished during the day, and now he has committed a major mistake at night, causing trouble for Miss Tang. This matter must be severely punished."

Zhou Ran's face turned pale. Among the five elders, four demanded severe punishment, and only Chongying abstained. The elder couldn't save him anymore.

"You have brought shame upon us, go back and reflect on your actions!"

Elder Chongxu had no intention of saving him. He shouldn't have saved this damn grandson earlier.

There's still a mess to clean up now!

Tang Ruoling woke up at some point and was already clinging to Zhang Chi.

At this moment, it was not suitable to stay here any longer, nor was it the time to discuss how to deal with Zhou Ran.

The top priority was to save people.

Tang Feng was also exhausted at this point. In just a few days, his emotions had fluctuated multiple times, feeling angry and sad, and he was already exhausted.

But his daughter was still affected by this embarrassing poison, he couldn't let her really die.

At this moment, the only option was to find a way to save her.

His gaze immediately locked onto Zhang Chi.

Jiang Qingyun was the first to notice Tang Feng's intention, and she immediately became wary. Without waiting for Tang Feng to speak, she said, "Zhang Chi must have been seriously injured. Come with me, I will treat your injuries."

Your daughter is not the chosen one, she can love whoever she wants, just don't harm my disciple.

Chen Runyu heard this and also breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Tang, don't even think about taking advantage of my Senior Brother.

Zhang Chi: "......"

I've planned everything up to this point, and you guys are still messing things up.
