After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

"Grandfather..."

This call was truly heart-wrenching, immediately evoking thoughts of the grievances this child must have suffered outside. The feeling of holding back tears, mixed with a stubbornness, enduring pain until seeing the person closest and most dependent, all contained within these two words.

However, Beichen Ting's expression was not good.

Of course, he immediately recognized his precious grandson, but the focus was not on whether he was his grandson or not, but on his value.

If Beichen Dan returned in a glorious manner, he would proudly introduce him to others, saying, "This is my grandson, possessing the appearance of a Celestial Human."

But with Beichen Dan appearing in such a sorry state in front of everyone, to be honest, Beichen Ting felt that he had lost all face.

Compared to the suffering his grandson had endured, he cared more about his own reputation.

If Beichen Dan had died outside, he would definitely be saddened and furious, even resolute in seeking revenge for Beichen Dan.

But since Beichen Dan returned alive and in such a disgraceful state, his attitude was different.

Of course, he couldn't show his displeasure in front of so many people, so he sternly reminded, "Dan'er, is that you? How could you have ended up like this? With your power, did you encounter a strong member of the Demon Race or Ghost Clan?"

Beichen Ting was trying to salvage Beichen Dan's reputation.

After all, this was an outstanding descendant who boasted about having the appearance of a Celestial Human, awakening a Divine Ability from birth, and possessing exceptional comprehension, quickly advancing in the cultivation techniques of Heavenly Spring Mountain.

It could be said that Beichen Dan was definitely a genius, standing out among the younger generation of Heavenly Spring Mountain.

Therefore, Beichen Ting had also praised Beichen Dan in front of his fellow Daoists.

This was to pave the way for Beichen Dan to obtain resources from the sect and to showcase the prosperity of the Beichen family.

Why did the big shots like to praise their juniors?

It made the juniors appear thriving, and the family flourishing.

But the problem was that they could boast all they wanted, but when it came to crucial moments, they would be slapped in the face. The words they had said before would now come back to haunt them.

Beichen Ting was also a dignified person and didn't want to lose face like this, so he was indirectly giving a message to Beichen Dan.

If you were beaten up so badly, as long as you say that the person who defeated you was an extremely powerful expert, it wouldn't be as embarrassing.

And it was well known that the Demon Race and Ghost Clan had a significant advantage on the Blood Battlefield. While the human race was stronger when united, the individual combat strength of the Ghost Clan and Demon Race far surpassed that of the human race.

Therefore, losing to the Demon Race or Ghost Clan was not embarrassing.

Unfortunately, Beichen Dan didn't understand Beichen Ting's hint.

His emotions were currently too agitated, and he couldn't comprehend the hidden meaning.

He only wanted to express how difficult his journey had been, how shaken he felt inside, and how unjustly he had been treated. Of course, most importantly, he wanted to expose the truth!

As a core member of the Beichen family, Beichen Dan felt the responsibility of revitalizing the family. Now that someone was plotting against the family, conspiring against the sect, or trying to take advantage of the situation, how could he accept it?

Furthermore, thinking that the people who had bullied him didn't expect him to turn back, he had the chance to regain his dignity. His mind couldn't accommodate anything else.

In his heart, there was only a strong desire for revenge, to expose the truth, and leave no place for those insignificant people to hide.

As for his own reputation and the reputation of the Beichen family, he didn't not care, but he hadn't thought about it at that moment.

He believed that finding the infiltrators within the family and completing his revenge were the most important things, and other matters didn't enter his mind.

So, in response to Beichen Ting's hint, he remained indifferent and directly revealed the truth, "Grandfather, I was ambushed by three members of the human race. After defeating me, they also took my companion's clothes. I suspect they must have infiltrated our team!"

Upon hearing this, Beichen Ting's spirit immediately lifted.

What Beichen Dan said clearly didn't require any doubt.

It must be true. Even when given a way to salvage his own reputation, he didn't think about restoring his dignity. It must be true.

So, it meant that the people who attacked Beichen Dan must be extremely powerful.

You should know that there are two Dao Integration cultivators protecting Beichen Dan. The fact that they were able to defeat the talented Beichen Dan and kill two powerful guardians indicates that their strength is definitely extraordinary.

Although Beichen Ting was secretly annoyed that Beichen Dan couldn't understand human language and couldn't help restore his own dignity, at this moment he could only go along with him and shift everyone's attention elsewhere.

"With your strength and two protectors by your side, you were still defeated. The enemy must be extremely powerful. They deliberately infiltrated our group and must be after the Blood Crystal Stone."

Beichen Ting emphasized the threat of the infiltrator. Upon hearing this, others subconsciously felt the same.

So many powerhouses on the leaderboard have fallen. Those strong individuals were not just one Transcending Tribulation cultivator, but a team of four Transcending Tribulation cultivators, plus several Dao Integration cultivators and Divine Soul peak cultivators.

They were not fighting alone, but as a group.

It is very difficult for those who have not experienced it to understand how they could fail in the hands of others.

But after Beichen Ting's reminder, they understood.

A thief must have infiltrated the team and launched a surprise attack.

After the leading Transcending Tribulation stage cultivator was defeated, it became difficult for the remaining people to resist.

This can also reasonably explain why the teams composed of top powerhouses kept losing.

And the person who defeated Beichen Dan is a top powerhouse comparable to a Transcending Tribulation cultivator, so Beichen Dan's defeat is not embarrassing.

He managed to survive and successfully return, delivering such important news. That can be considered a great achievement.

It can be said that Beichen Ting is truly cunning and strong in crisis public relations.

At this moment, almost everyone from Heavenly Spring Mountain agreed with this explanation and instinctively distanced themselves from others.

Even Liu Xuan and the others in charge adopted a defensive posture.

Zhang Chi: "......"

Your imagination is really wild.

He really didn't expect that the small-time thief he casually robbed would turn out to be a high-ranking descendant of Heavenly Spring Mountain, and coincidentally, he found his grandfather here.

It can only be said that luck is really bad.

But what are these people talking about!

Do they think I dare to snatch the Blood Crystal Stone from a Transcending Tribulation cultivator?

Do they think I want to shorten my own life?

He was already pleasantly surprised to have obtained eighty crystals.

When Beichen Dan brought back the news, Zhang Chi and the others obviously couldn't hide it.

There was no way around it. Zhang Chi could be sure that no one present could claim to know everyone.

However, as long as the others knew each other, it would be easy to identify those they didn't know.

When Beichen Dan came out, he had already retreated behind the crowd.

While Beichen Dan was speaking, he was also pulling Chen Runyu back all the way.

Now they were already on the edge of the crowd.

When the people from Heavenly Spring Mountain were scared by Beichen Dan's news and kept their distance from others, they hid in a small ditch near the camp.

The three of them pressed against the blind spots in their line of sight, holding their breath and not daring to reveal any trace of their presence.

Liu Xuan and the others also began to count the number of people.

They vouched for each other, and after a while, they realized that there were no strangers among them.

Everyone knew each other, so they could be sure that they were all on the same side.

"Where are the infiltrators?"

Upon learning that it was a false alarm, Liu Xuan became extremely annoyed.

He looked at Beichen Dan and couldn't help but wonder if this kid was just talking nonsense to salvage his own dignity.

"Dan'er, where are the people you mentioned?"

"That's not right, could it be that they haven't infiltrated yet?"

Beichen Dan couldn't understand.

His thoughts were already muddled, and he couldn't think straight anymore.

It wasn't entirely his fault.

As a proud prodigy, he had always been extremely confident and believed himself to be unrivaled in the world.

Everyone said so, and he thought so too. But in his first major trial, he failed miserably and was harshly taught a lesson by outsiders.

His head was buzzing now, and he didn't even know what he was saying.

Before he left, he said that he was attacked when he approached this beam of light. Since the other party drove him away, why didn't they approach this side of the beam?

If they had stripped off the clothes of their allies, how could they not put them on themselves?

Moreover, Beichen Dan himself said that he took a detour before coming here, so why was the other party slower than him?

It could be said that Beichen Dan's words were contradictory.

The people of Heavenly Spring Mountain were speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

But Beichen Dan's behavior didn't seem like he was lying.

Just as everyone was frowning, a strange laughter suddenly came from a distance.

"I wondered who it was, turns out it's the ants of Heavenly Spring Mountain. Perhaps only you cowards would abandon the beam of light. Your lost tribe members must be so heartbroken!"

When this voice came out, the people of Heavenly Spring Mountain's expressions changed slightly.

Oh no, an enemy attack!

The one who appeared here was none other than Prince Rakshasa.

Coincidentally, this time he planned to hunt down the people of Heavenly Spring Mountain, among whom Zhang Chi had also infiltrated.

He had no particular reason for choosing to hunt down the people here.

It was all a matter of fate, whoever he caught would do.

However, as soon as they arrived nearby, they saw the beam of light extinguished.

But a new beam of light did not appear nearby, instead it appeared in the distance.

This puzzled Prince Rakshasa.

It had been two days, and they still couldn't make it into the top ten. Obviously, they were not a powerful team, and such a team obviously did not have the strength to hunt down the strong ones on the leaderboard.

Based on this logic, those who could defeat the strong ones on the leaderboard must be top-notch experts. After such a long time, it was impossible for the strong ones to not have found any blood crystal stones and to directly cause trouble for the strong ones.

This possibility did exist, but it was so low that it could almost be directly ruled out.

With this in mind, it was easy to guess what was going on.

It could only be that the other party got scared and dispersed the blood crystal stones, with the leader losing the most blood crystal stones, causing the beam of light to naturally dissipate.

Having figured this out, Prince Rakshasa continued to advance with his men, and sure enough, they surrounded the people of Heavenly Spring Mountain.

Many ghost tribes formed a formation on the periphery. Although they only had more than eighty ghosts, their momentum was much more terrifying than that of the people of Heavenly Spring Mountain.

Coincidentally, Wenren Shu also came to challenge this beam of light, thinking that she could handle it.

By observing the changes in the beam of light, she also came to the same conclusion as Prince Rakshasa. Therefore, she thought she had found an easy target and decided to test her strength here today!

So, she eagerly surrounded him.

Zhang Chi: "......"

Why is there a big brawl going on here?

He felt like there was a glaring word flashing on his forehead - danger!

As more and more people gathered, their situation became more and more precarious.

Hopefully, they would start fighting so Zhang Chi could take advantage of the chaos.

However, sensing the presence of Prince Rakshasa and others, Zhang Chi felt a faint power stirring within him.

It was the desire to hunt, but not strong.

Zhang Chi quickly realized the identity of the newcomers.

Ghost clan!

He was half of the Body of the First Star, although it was acquired and strengthened to a limited extent, it did not have the same killing power against the ghost clan as the orthodox Body of the First Star.

However, being half of the Body of the First Star still meant being the Body of the First Star. The appearance of the ghost clan revived his instinct to hunt ghosts.

After careful consideration, Zhang Chi restrained himself.

This was not the time for him to show off.

Even though he had a certain restraining effect on the ghost clan, it was not foolproof.

Therefore, when he could keep a low profile, he shouldn't think about showing off his skills.

The people of Heavenly Spring Mountain noticed the arrival of the ghost clan and their faces changed.

The ghost clan actually appeared in groups, clearly organized and disciplined.

The ghost clan had never been so arrogant before.

Did they think they were capable because they heard that their Seven Pillars of the Human World were beaten by a female demon?

Liu Xuan felt a surge of anger in his heart. No one liked being underestimated, even though he also thought that the ghost clan and the Demon Race were indeed strong.

But so what?

Were they not strong?

With the appearance of the ghost clan, there was naturally nothing to say.

"Are you uncomfortable staying in the Rakshasa Ghost City, so you came out to die?"

"Haha, laughable. With your strength, do you think you can beat us?"

Prince Rakshasa was very shocked. Did the human world not know the strength of the ghost clan after so many years without their presence?

To the point that these old men and women were so confident that they thought they could fight him?

Prince Rakshasa could confidently say that in this blood-colored Secret Realm, he, the prince, was invincible!

The previous Demon Race Saintess was indeed fierce, but since she was gone last time, she definitely wouldn't participate this time.

As for the retaliation of the human race, was he supposed to be afraid?

Seeing his arrogance, Liu Xuan didn't bother to argue much and directly gave the order, "All disciples, follow my command!"

It seemed that they were going to start fighting. Zhang Chi secretly looked forward to it. If they fought, he could take advantage of the chaos and escape.

It can be said that his luck was not very good, but he relied on his foresight and quick reaction, and found a hidden place to successfully hide. Otherwise, this wave would still be a bit dangerous.

The arrival of the ghost clan was also timely. The people of Heavenly Spring Mountain were suspicious and were searching nearby.

As long as they didn't let go of their doubts and believed in Beichen Dan, there was a chance they would find Zhang Chi.

Fortunately, with the arrival of the ghost clan, Zhang Chi's urgent situation was resolved... (End of this chapter)
