After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 53: This is definitely a half-step Foundation Building

Before Chen Runyu died, he still wanted to save Zhang Chi from disaster. This wave was not in vain.

Zi Mian saw it in her eyes and felt anxious in her heart.

Sister, don't be obsessed with men, especially scumbags like Zhang Chi. He never even considered your life and death!

Zi Mian misunderstood Zhang Chi in this regard.

Zhang Chi may not care about Tang Ruoling's life and death, but he does care about Chen Runyu.

Chen Runyu is the leader of the fans. Although it's not difficult to cultivate another one, it's rare to find someone as obedient and effective as Chen Runyu in critical moments.

The worst thing is to attract trouble for oneself, which is very troublesome.

The feathers on Chen Runyu's body are enough to withstand an attack from a Divine Soul realm expert. His clothes also have a certain defensive effect, and his inner pocket is filled with life-saving pills.

In Zhang Chi's calculations, Chong Xu will definitely make a move against him tonight, but Chong Xu won't do it personally. It's only possible for Qing Hui to take action.

Once Qing Hui leaves Sword Sect, he becomes a fugitive. Escaping is his top priority, and he doesn't need to risk his life for Chong Xu's sake.

Zhang Chi and Qing Hui are enemies, each with their own agenda, but the Elder is using him under coercion. It's already good enough if he can get things done, can he still expect him to be loyal?

Moreover, as long as they meet face to face, he will know that Chen Runyu is fake. There's no need to go on a killing spree.

So, although everything seems dangerous, it's actually within Zhang Chi's expectations.

Of course, it's not wrong for Zi Mian to think that Zhang Chi is a scumbag. He accurately predicted that Chen Runyu would be attacked tonight, and he calculated this girl who only had him in her heart.

How despicable!

Zi Mian felt full of sympathy. When she looks at Chen Runyu now, she sees the extremely foolish Qing Mian. They were both deceived by a man.

She must let them know Zhang Chi's true face!

Zi Mian made up her mind and took out a pill for Chen Runyu to take. She also checked his pulse and found that he was not in major trouble, which relieved her.

She has been with Chen Runyu for some time now. Although it started as a scheme, after spending time together, she developed some fondness for this foolish yet kind girl. She didn't want her to be deceived by a scumbag and end up in a bad situation.

According to Zhang Chi's plan, Chen Runyu was supposed to save Tang Ruoling. Now that Chen Runyu is unconscious, it's even easier for her to manipulate the situation.

She pushed Chen Runyu into the water and held him up from below, swimming towards the direction where Tang Ruoling was hiding. It looked like Chen Runyu was being carried away by the water.

On the other side, the puppet guarding Tang Ruoling also started to move.

"It's time to go. Let's hit the road."

Tang Ruoling had been tied up for a long time and finally waited for this moment. She felt nervous.

The puppet took out a dark pill and handed it to Tang Ruoling, saying coldly, "Eat this Heart-Eating Gu."

Tang Ruoling's heart skipped a beat.

She suggested to Zi Mian to poison her because she was confident that poison wouldn't kill her.

But it's different with a Gu worm.

As a Plant Monster, detoxification is not difficult, but if worms grow inside her, she really has no choice.

At that time, she will really have to take action against Zhang Chi...

At this moment, Tang Ruoling realized that deep down in her heart, she actually didn't want to harm Zhang Chi.

When she proposed taking poison, she had already considered the consequences of enduring the poison herself.

This shows that she never intended to harm Zhang Chi.

"It's impossible, this is impossible..."

How could she possibly like this man who has repeatedly humiliated her?

Seeing Tang Ruoling hesitate, Zi Mian also became impatient and urged, "What are you hesitating about?"

Considering that Tang Ruoling wanted to harm Zhang Chi for her sake, Zi Mian had already shown her mercy.

Once the poison enters the stomach, even if there is an antidote, it will still harm the body.

Moreover, everyone's body is different, and the time it takes for the poison to take effect varies. What if she doesn't have time to give Tang Ruoling the antidote and ends up poisoning her to death?

If it were before, she wouldn't have considered these things.

But these are sisters who stand against Zhang Chi together!

Although she couldn't fully trust her, Zi Mian also didn't want to harm her by mistake.

The Heart-Eating Gu is the best choice. As long as she doesn't activate it, eating it is the same as not eating it.

"Well... I've been afraid of bugs since I was little..."

This is true, Plant Monsters are most afraid of bugs.

Upon hearing this, Zi Mian was speechless.

What kind of occasion is this? You're still trying to act cute!

"The Heart-Eating Gu is sealed in the wax pill. If I don't activate it, it won't come out."

Although impatient, Zi Mian still explained.

Helpless, Tang Ruoling took a deep breath and swallowed the pill.

After carefully checking, Zi Mian confirmed that she had swallowed it before carrying her out. This place was not a ferry, but a bank of an unknown tributary of the Coiling Dragon River.

Then, she tied Tang Ruoling to a tree.

Tang Ruoling was surprised and asked, "Aren't we waiting for Zhang Chi?"

Zi Mian was quite satisfied with her attitude. It seems that she still wants to harm Zhang Chi.

"I've changed the plan."

Zi Mian explained, "I plan to let you stay by Zhang Chi's side and find a way to let everyone know his true face. Killing him would be too easy for him."

Of course, Zi Mian didn't want to admit that she had become Zhang Chi's slave. That would be too embarrassing. She might as well just die.

Tang Ruoling was shocked. What kind of grudge is this?

This way, she would have more time to deal with the Gu in her body and wouldn't have to immediately choose between harming Zhang Chi or herself.

The rest of the story is simple. Chen Runyu in the water slowly regained consciousness and found herself drifting along with the current. Not far away, a person was tied to a tree.

Although Chen Runyu's body was weak, she recognized Tang Ruoling at a glance.

She swam to the shore and confirmed that it was Tang Ruoling before carefully observing the surroundings and approaching Tang Ruoling.

After untying the ropes on her, she smelled a strange fragrance on Tang Ruoling.

"Animal Attraction Powder?"

Chen Runyu was startled, and under the moonlight, pairs of emerald green pupils appeared.

The nearby beasts were all attracted over. If it were just ordinary wild beasts, it would be fine, but if it attracted Demonic Beasts, it would be dangerous.

Thinking of this, she quickly felt her body and fortunately, the signal flare was still there.

She didn't know where she was, but she didn't think she had left the Left River League. She needed to seek help first.

After firing the signal flare, the beasts became even more violent. Chen Runyu drew her personal sword and used the Great River Sword Technique.

Zi Mian, who was hiding in the dark, was dumbfounded.

She wanted to create some danger for Chen Runyu. It was too ridiculous for her to simply rescue someone like this.

But Chen Runyu was even more ridiculous. Zi Mian remembered that Chen Runyu had said that the Great River Sword Scripture was too difficult to learn, no matter what.

Wow, with this level of proficiency, you're telling me you can't learn it?

The comprehension of the Great River Sword Scripture comes from the Coiling Dragon River, and the core is the endless flow of life. Chen Runyu clearly had grasped its true meaning, and her sword light flowed like a waterfall, never ceasing.

"This person is pretending to be weak?" Zi Mian, who had been with Chen Runyu day and night, began to doubt if this Chen Runyu was the same person.

In reality, Chen Runyu didn't know what was happening either.

When she felt danger, she panicked. Under the pressure, she instinctively used the sword techniques she had learned.

So I'm this powerful?

Chen Runyu became more confident as she fought, until the elder who came to rescue them arrived and dispersed all the beasts.

The one who came to rescue them was Elder Chong Ling.

When Chen Runyu recounted the process of rescuing Tang Ruoling, Zi Mian was also dumbfounded.

Is there such a thing? We were so nervous, setting up defenses everywhere, ready to rescue at any moment.

As a result, Chen Runyu was attacked and fell into the river, and then discovered Tang Ruoling who was hiding here.

Is this reasonable?

But no matter how ridiculous the process was, the result was good, so they could investigate the rest slowly.

Thus, the group escorted Chen Runyu and Tang Ruoling back to the Sword Sect.

The Sword Sect had a sleepless night.

The return of Tang Ruoling was not the focus; the focus was Qing Hui's escape.

Qing Hui's escape meant that he had indeed embezzled the spirit stones, and the spies from other sects got wind of this news and came to the Sword Sect one after another.

In the past, it was always the people from the Sword Sect who guarded the spirit stone cave. Just the thought of it made others envious.

Now, the Divine Soul Elder of the Sword Sect was also cursing Qing Hui. Can't you distinguish between being full and being hungry?

But they were in the wrong this time and had to give up this position, allowing people from other sects to participate.

After this incident, the Sword Sect's reputation was tarnished.

And all of this was because Gu Youyou stole over five hundred spirit stones.

If he hadn't stolen them, Zhang Chi wouldn't have caused trouble.

Zhang Chi didn't participate recently, so this matter might have passed perfectly.

But there was no choice. A dead Fellow Daoist is no use to a poor Daoist. In order to ensure my safety, I had to sacrifice a bit of the sect's interests.

While chaos was happening outside, Zhang Chi was still cultivating.

He trained his body and soul separately.

Due to the lack of experimental materials, Zhang Chi had to temporarily suspend his research on the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon and instead focus on comprehending the Great River Sword Scripture.

It was just simulating sword practice in his mind.

As for his body, it was controlled by Gu Youyou, undergoing advanced Qi Refining.

Soon, Gu Youyou's body was drained of spirit stones.

She had to knock out Zi Mian, dig out the spirit stones from under the bed, seal them, and then wake up Zi Mian with cold water.

Zi Mian: "???"

Are you crazy?

Gu Youyou didn't explain anything and sat cross-legged to continue cultivating.

For a big shot like her, the Qi Condensation stage for beginners was just child's play.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Chi would be able to reach Foundation Building in another half month.

With Zhang Chi's current state, he could reach Foundation Building at any time, but in order to have a perfect Foundation Building, Gu Youyou continued to suppress him. After half a month, she probably wouldn't be able to hold him back anymore.

However, accidents always happen at times like this.

Perhaps the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and the excessive True Qi in Zhang Chi's Qi Sea rapidly condensed.

Gu Youyou focused her inner vision and saw that the originally basketball-sized Qi mass had now become the size of a ping pong ball.

"What is this? A hidden characteristic of the human race?"

The physique of the Demon Race and the human race were ultimately different, and Gu Youyou couldn't understand it either.

But she had read human cultivation techniques and naturally knew the criteria for each realm.

During Qi Condensation, the Qi Sea was in the form of Qi masses, called True Qi.

After the Foundation Building stage, it would transform into liquid form, called True Yuan.

The Qi mass in Zhang Chi's Qi Sea still had the characteristics of Qi, but it also appeared particularly viscous, somewhat like a liquid.

Gu Youyou couldn't understand it.

After she was shocked, Zhang Chi took control of his body.

With an inner vision, he couldn't help but laugh, "What's so strange about this? Isn't it just a half-step Foundation Building?"

Liquid form is Foundation Building, gaseous form is Qi Condensation, so half gas and half liquid is definitely a half-step Foundation Building, no problem!

Gu Youyou: "..."

She always felt that something was off, but couldn't put her finger on it...
