After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Hong Li began to lead by a wide margin on the leaderboard, leaving everyone else in the dust as she climbed from tenth place to first place, becoming the top sister on the list.

Originally, the changes she brought to the leaderboard were just climbing up in rankings, causing others to move down in rankings.

However, Du Mu, who was ranked fifth, suddenly disappeared from the leaderboard and was replaced by the sixth-ranked person. This clearly meant something.

Someone defeated the sixth-ranked person!

Not long after, a new name appeared on the leaderboard.

"Jin Ling'er? Who is this mysterious person?"

The Asura Prince looked puzzled. The last time he saw such a drastic change in the leaderboard was during the last battle.

In the previous bloody battlefield, there was a Demon Race named Gu Youyou who single-handedly defeated three pillars of the human race and became the top-ranked, but in the end, something happened and she disappeared without a trace.

If his guess was correct, it should be the human race joining forces to deal with her.

This also served as a reminder to the Ghost Clan not to act recklessly based on their high cultivation and strong combat power. In the face of numerical superiority, it was better to keep a low profile.

After all, there was an insurmountable gap in the number of troops. Both the Ghost Clan and the Demon Race only had one token, allowing a maximum of five hundred people to enter the battlefield, while the human race had seven tokens and the Monster Race had three.

Even if the two demon races joined forces, they would only have a thousand people, while the human race and the Monster Race combined had five thousand.

A five-fold difference in numbers, this was a huge disadvantage!

In the past, it was usually the Monster Race that competed with the human race for the leaderboard, while the Ghost Clan and the Demon Race mainly explored the Secret Realm and searched for opportunities within.

Forget about the leaderboard.

And many times, the competition on the leaderboard was within the human race itself. The Monster Race didn't have enough tokens, with the Sea Monster Race having two and the Land Monster Race having one. The two races were not united and each did their own thing.

Returning to the main topic, the Asura Prince discovered the strange changes in the leaderboard. Although he was surprised, he was more delighted.

The more variables there were, the more help it would bring him.

He could take advantage of the chaos to kill the people on the leaderboard and then not appear on it himself, continuing to fish in troubled waters.

Once he defeated the various forces of the human race one by one, he wouldn't be afraid of them uniting again.

Thinking of this, the Asura Prince no longer paid attention to the changes on the leaderboard. He ordered his team to approach a nearby pillar of light.

He didn't notice that a name that made him fearful quietly climbed to the tenth place on the leaderboard, pushing Jin Ling'er down.

Wenren Li!

If he saw Wenren Li's name, he probably wouldn't dare to casually attack a pillar of light.

With ten pillars of light, there was a one in ten chance of attacking Wenren Li.

If he didn't attack this time, it would be like delivering a package.

Wenren Li's terror could perhaps only be dealt with by the Heavenly Ghost. Below the Heavenly Ghost, no one could withstand Wenren Li's terrifying suppression.

Moreover, Wenren Li had also absorbed Long Yi's power. When necessary, she could also unleash the power of the Ghost Emperor.

In the outside world, the Ghost Emperor might be able to escape from Wenren Li as long as he didn't let her touch him and didn't eat her spells, relying on the Divine Ability of the Ghost Clan to have a chance to escape.

But this was the bloody battlefield, where the power of the Ghost Emperor was limited to the Divine Ability Realm. Wasn't this giving Wenren Li an opportunity?

However, the Asura Prince's luck wasn't bad either. The first pillar of light he attacked wasn't Wenren Li.

He attacked the ninth-ranked group from the Heavenly River Valley.

The seven Heavenly Pillar Sects had been dominating the world for many years and had long been accustomed to their own authority. They never expected that the Ghost Clan would dare to hunt them down so openly.

The Heavenly River Valley's power was originally ranked at the bottom, just above the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. The reason why the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was at the bottom was because they didn't compete or fight, willingly taking the last place.

In other words, the Heavenly River Valley was the actual weakest.

But no matter how weak they were, the leaders were all Transcending Tribulation Realm powerhouses.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Ghost Clan.

The Ghost Clan and the Demon Race, when united, can rival the Human and Yao Clans.

Even top forces like the Tianhe Valley, Tian Di Alliance, and Tian Shuang City would have difficulty dealing with a sudden attack from the Ghost Clan.

After a bloody battle, the entire army of Tianhe Valley was annihilated.

They were trapped by the Ghost Clan's formation and couldn't break free for three hours, after which they could be challenged again.

Another three hours passed, and there would be no chance of survival.

This battle to annihilate the Ghost Clan took eight hours.

By the time the battle ended, it was already the second night.

Only then did Prince Luosha look at the rankings and realize that the first place had changed.

Originally, the first place was Hong Li, but now Hong Li had dropped to second place, replaced by Jin Ling'er.

"Who is this Jin Ling'er?"

Prince Luosha was also curious.

As for the rest of the rankings, there was nothing particularly noteworthy.

Prince Luosha was unaware that Wenren Li's name had also appeared on the leaderboard while he was attacking Tianhe Valley.

Originally, both Jin Ling'er and Wenren Li were only trying to attract attention to make it easier for Zhang Chi to find them.

However, when they stopped competing for rankings, others quickly surpassed them.

Just like Jin Ling'er, her tenth place was taken by Wenren Li.

So, both of them began their journey to climb the rankings.

There were only ten light pillars in total, and they finally met each other.

Then, Wenren Li chose to give the extra blood crystal stones on her body to Jin Ling'er and retreated to the background.

The fluctuating rankings were nothing special to those on the battlefield, as they were used to it.

When they saw Jin Ling'er's sudden increase in blood crystal stones, they thought it was just a fight between two tigers, and one had fallen.

Only a few people who were in the know understood the truth through the changes in the rankings.

"They've finally met!"

Hong Li originally wanted to challenge Jin Ling'er or Wenren Li one-on-one. She had suffered losses under both of them before, so now she wanted to regain her reputation and rebuild her invincible spirit.

After defeating Su Mingche and all of Su Mingche's subordinates, Hong Li became inflated with confidence.

However, when she realized that Wenren Li and Jin Ling'er had gathered together, she chose to retreat.

She might not be a match for these two in a prolonged battle.

"Hmph, I just went through a big battle and need to rest. Let them show off!"

Hong Li found an excuse to avoid fighting and carried the crystals to find a place to rest.

Apart from Hong Li, Zhang Chi and the others also knew roughly about their current status.

In other words, now there was a one in ten chance of finding an ally by finding a light pillar.

Moreover, based on the changes in the light pillars, Zhang Chi could determine their positions.

The light pillars of others dissipated and reformed in the same place.

This indicated that the positions of the light pillar rankings were close.

Only Jin Ling'er and Wenren Li, their light pillars merged in one place and then formed a new light pillar in another place.

That was a sign that they had moved up from a lower ranking.

So, the only possible location for the two of them is where the light pillars intersected before.

Zhang Chi's strength lies in his ability to observe and deduce useful information.

However, he knew the positions of Wenren Li and Jin Ling'er, but they were too far apart.

Because the light pillars reached the sky and the ground, anyone in the area could see them and judge their distance.

Coincidentally, the one belonging to Jin Ling'er was the farthest from Zhang Chi.

"Senior Brother, should we go and meet them first?"

"Although it's difficult, we must go."

Zhang Chi was also helpless. His luck had been extremely bad since entering the bloody battlefield.

It could be predicted that as long as others had a normal brain, they would know that the place where the two light pillars intersected was Jin Ling'er's location. As long as they were still alive, they would definitely move in that direction.

Jin Ling'er had also voluntarily revealed her location, so Zhang Chi naturally had to go and meet her, not wanting to disappoint her intentions.

But on this long journey, who knows how many dangers they would encounter.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will protect you."

"Good!"

Zhang Chi lovingly patted Chen Runyu's head, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to avoid fighting.

Among those who knew about Wenren Li's disappearance, the only one who paid attention was Wenren Shu.

Wenren Shu had also suffered enough in the bloody battlefield.

She used the quota of Heavenly Spring Mountain, so when she was teleported to the Secret Realm, three disciples from Heavenly Spring Mountain appeared by her side.

And they were all from the Beichen family.

In order to ensure that Wenren Shu died in the bloody battlefield, Beichen Dan had made arrangements.

They knew who would become teammates with whom.

So, they let the three of them go separately, and they would be teleported to the same place as Wenren Shu.

And they were teleported to the same place as Wenren Shu, of course, to kill her.

In order to break off the engagement, Beichen Dan even used up a quota. If Wenren Shu didn't die in the bloody battlefield but instead survived and obtained a powerful opportunity, that would be truly ridiculous.

To be on the safe side, he sent three assassins.

It could be said that Beichen Dan's heart was extremely ruthless.

And the one executing the mission was a Dao Integration female cultivator accompanied by two Divine Ability peak cultivators.

The reason for sending a female cultivator was that they could gain Wenren Shu's trust more easily.

In the initial stage of the battlefield, it would give a glimmer of hope to those with lower cultivation levels. Even those with low cultivation levels could survive by using blood crystal stones.

To ensure nothing went wrong, the Dao Integration female cultivator, after seeing Wenren Shu, arrogantly expressed that she had the highest cultivation level and should lead the team, demanding Wenren Shu's cooperation.

Under normal circumstances, Wenren Shu, who had obtained a quota by luck, would naturally follow the arrangements of the Beichen family.

And in order to gain Wenren Shu's trust, the other two also obediently handed over seventy percent of their blood crystal stones to the team leader.

However, if Wenren Shu dared to hand over the blood crystal stones, she would only have a dead end.

Without enough blood crystal stones, she could only wait for death.

However, Beichen Dan miscalculated one thing.

Wenren Shu had a hidden trump card.

Although the trump card had already been revealed, it hadn't thought of dying so soon.

Before Wenren Shu was about to hand over the blood crystal stones, it gave a warning.

"It seems I didn't guess wrong. They all came to kill you. If you hand over the Blood Crystal Stone, you can wait for death.

Furthermore, two male cultivators are attracted to your beauty. They fantasize about taking advantage of you once you don't have the Blood Crystal Stone, using it to make you willingly please them.

They even prepared the Image Stone. How bold of them? Aren't they afraid of their young master getting angry?

Or perhaps their young master has unique preferences?"

Wenren Shu immediately became furious.

Even before entering the Secret Realm, Black Lotus had mentioned that Beichen Dan might harm her, so she was already somewhat wary of these people.

Now, Black Lotus vividly described it, stirring up painful memories in her heart.

For a moment, a surge of killing intent filled her heart.

"What's wrong, won't you hand it over?"

The female cultivator from the Beichen family's Dao Integration stage showed obvious hostility, trying to oppress Wenren Shu into submission. But how could Wenren Shu, who already knew the outcome, comply?

She erupted on the spot. Before the Dao Integration female cultivator could react, she pounced on her, biting her neck and crazily sucking her blood.

Now, the Dao Integration female cultivator panicked as she realized she couldn't break free.

This was a Ghost Clan Divine Ability, Hunting.

Biting a vulnerable spot could cause fear and paralysis, making the enemy's mana slow and limbs weak.

The other two were restricted by the rules and couldn't pull Wenren Shu away. They could only watch as Wenren Shu drained the female cultivator's blood.

In the end, the other two members of the Beichen family also couldn't escape their fate.

They followed the script they had prepared for Wenren Shu, handing over the Blood Crystal Stone. But without a way to replenish the Blood Crystal Stone and with Wenren Shu constantly tailing them, they couldn't escape even if they begged for mercy. In the end, due to the scarcity of Blood Crystal Stones, they turned into blood mist and were devoured by the bloody battlefield.

Wenren Shu completely lost hope in killing the Beichen family.

Originally, she had some hope left. She could perfectly control her ghost transformation, as long as she didn't use any ghost clan techniques, her ghost clan identity wouldn't be discovered.

Ghosts were skilled at disguising themselves.

She could have married into the Beichen family peacefully, maintaining her position as the number one woman on the Nine Provinces Ranking List as long as her ghost clan identity remained hidden.

But now, that hope was completely shattered.

Since she already knew that Beichen Dan intended to kill her, if she died in the Secret Realm, the matter would be settled.

But if she didn't die and returned alive, the Beichen family would definitely not let her go.

Thinking about her future, Wenren Shu felt extremely unwilling.

And at her lowest point, she saw Wenren Li's name.

She thought that after Wenren Li was exiled to the Western Continent, she would never see her again or hear any news about her.

But the fact proved that annoying people never stay quiet no matter where they go.

And the most ironic thing was that Wenren Li, who had left the Wenren Family without any support, had now entered the Secret Realm and managed to make it onto the rankings, competing with the old powerhouses of those major forces.

And she, like a lackey, could only look up.

"How can I fall here? I can't lose!"

Intense unwillingness boiled in her heart, even Black Lotus was stunned.

"Damn, if you keep developing like this, you might even become a Demon Race. By then, you'll truly be a devil."

The heart is the source of Demon Race's power, and what can corrupt people into demons is often negative emotions.

Positive emotions may have power, but it is limited and short-lived, while negative emotions tend to be continuous and firm.

Like resentment, like jealousy.

"As long as I can become stronger, what's wrong with falling into darkness?" (End of this chapter)
