After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 62: Fish Die, Net Breaks Tonight

With the lessons learned from the past, Zi Mian dared not deceive anymore. She followed Zhang Chi's request and delivered the message to Qing Hui.

But she didn't think this message would be of any use.

Qing Hui is in the mid-stage of the Divine Soul realm, while Chong Xu is at the peak. There is a huge gap between the two, and they are not at all evenly matched.

Zi Mian thought that once she told Qing Hui about this matter, Qing Hui would definitely think about escaping. How could he possibly counterattack?

Qing Hui's first reaction upon receiving the message was doubt, but Zi Mian did not explain.

By delivering the message, she had fulfilled her master's task.

Next, she had to deal with the issue of Tang Ruoling.

Tang Ruoling was staying in a guest room in the Sword Sect, so she was easy to find.

But when Zi Mian reached the window outside Tang Ruoling's room, her intelligence suddenly took the upper hand.

If she relaxed her control over Tang Ruoling now, she would have very few cards left to play.

And from today's performance, it seemed that Zhang Chi did not completely disregard Tang Ruoling.

There must be some feelings, but not much.

In that case, wouldn't it be enough to deepen the relationship between Tang Ruoling and Zhang Chi?

Inside the room, Tang Ruoling gritted her teeth as she practiced needle techniques. Sensing that there was someone else in the room, she mercilessly threw all the silver needles in her hand.

With a wave of her robe, Zi Mian caught more than ten silver needles in her hand.

"Why such anger? Could it be that Zhang Chi couldn't satisfy you?"

Surprisingly, Zi Mian was quite aggressive in her attack.

This sentence broke through Tang Ruoling's defenses.

"Don't mention that man's name again. Even if you kill me, don't expect me to get close to him again!"

"So, you plan to flee without a fight?"

Zi Mian's tone was full of mockery.

"I thought you were a woman with some pride, but I didn't expect you to be unable to handle a little setback."

Zi Mian used a provocation tactic, simple but effective.

Tang Ruoling indeed couldn't bear it and retorted, "I just think it's meaningless. I don't like him either."

That's exactly what I wanted!

"You can dislike him, but he completely ignores your charm. One moment he's intimate with you, and the next he turns his back on you, treating you like a plaything. Can you tolerate that?"

Zi Mian had a talent for stoking the fire, and Tang Ruoling was already angry, but now she was even more furious.

"I can't tolerate it, so what can I do? Kill him?"

The Monster Seed is still in Zhang Chi's hands. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't kill him!

"It's simple. Make him fall in love with you, and then give him a hard kick, let him know that the current him is indifferent to you, and in the future, he won't be able to reach your level!"

"You're right."

Tang Ruoling's hot blood was ignited.

She was determined to make Zhang Chi, this guy with no eyes, regret it!

Although she and Zi Mian were enemies, at this moment, they were like sisters, discussing plans to counterattack Zhang Chi...

The next day, at dawn.

Tang Ruoling returned to the Spiritual Medicine Valley. Along the way, there were patrols from the Left River League everywhere, which showed how much they valued the situation.

The wanted order had also been sent to various forces and would be announced today.

In the Right River League, Qing Hui carefully concealed his whereabouts and went out to gather some information. Finally, he believed that Chong Xu really had the intention to kill him.

Qing Hui was very panicked and angry.

In order to save his own life, he even regarded Chong Xu as his adoptive father.

But unexpectedly, even as his son, Chong Xu still wanted to kill him.

The reason stated in the alliance's wanted order was very clear. It said that Qing Hui had stolen a large amount of wealth and, while fleeing, killed an important disciple of the Sword Sect.

While gathering information, Qing Hui also heard people discussing this matter.

Under discussion, many people said he was foolish. Just stealing spirit stones wouldn't be enough to trigger an alliance's wanted order. But running away and killing a sect disciple, wasn't that slapping oneself in the face?

Listening to this, Qing Hui also felt extremely frustrated.

He really wants to explain, I fucking didn't kill anyone!

But now it's useless to say these things.

What makes Qing Hui extremely worried is that he feels the arguments made by those discussing the matter also make sense.

He escaped and killed disciples of the sect, causing a bad influence. The Left River League definitely cannot let him go and will definitely pursue him to the end.

Perhaps the Elder had already considered this?

The pursuit order didn't specify which disciple died, but Qing Hui understood as soon as he thought about it. No matter who died, the result would be the same.

Perhaps the Elder had planned all of this from the beginning.

If he killed other important disciples, the Sword Sect wouldn't let him go. If he killed Zhang Chi, would the Sword Sect let him go?

Zhang Chi is the chief disciple of this generation and also the sect leader's disciple, highly respected within the sect.

With the death of such a core disciple, both the Sword Sect and the Left River League will definitely pursue him relentlessly!

Unfortunately, Qing Hui only understands this now.

He had only thought that Chong Xu and Zhang Chi had a grudge, without thinking too much about it. Now that the pursuit order has been issued, he realizes the seriousness of the situation.

He didn't expect that Chong Xu hadn't thought of it either?

The more Qing Hui thinks about it, the more he feels the atmosphere.

"Old thief, you've gone too far!"

In his anger, Qing Hui also had the intention to kill.

After much consideration, he decided to seek an audience with Zi Mian and ask for her help in killing Chong Xu.

When Zi Mian received the news, she was dumbfounded.

Qing Hui is in the mid-stage of the Divine Soul realm, while Chong Xu is at the peak of the Divine Soul realm. There is a difference in their cultivation levels. How could Qing Hui dare to do this?

Not only did he not run away, but he also wanted to fight back?

Of course, Zi Mian also wanted to kill Chong Xu. This old man always opposed Qing Mian, how could he dare?

There were many times when Zi Mian wanted to kill Chong Xu.

But she also knew that Zhang Chi wanted Chong Xu dead, so if she took action, she would be helping Zhang Chi. This would be more uncomfortable than killing her.

Helpless, she had to ask, "Chong Xu is an elder of the Sword Sect and won't easily show himself. How do you plan to kill him?"

"I have a way to lure him out of the Sword Sect."

Qing Hui said confidently.

He knew that Chong Xu wanted to kill him, which was why he didn't run away. His soul lamp was in Chong Xu's hands, no matter how far he ran, Chong Xu would be able to find him.

If he escaped from the sect, Chong Xu would naturally need some means to control him.

By creating chaos, Chong Xu would have the opportunity to steal Qing Hui's soul lamp at the right moment.

Afterwards, others would think that Qing Hui had stolen the soul lamp, without evidence, and wouldn't suspect Chong Xu.

Leaving the soul lamp behind could also serve as a backup plan.

Only now did Qing Hui realize that Chong Xu must have already planned to silence him back then.

In the Sword Sect, he could still be considered an elder and had some use.

Once he left the Sword Sect, he would only be a burden and could potentially expose Chong Xu's secret.

Since that's the case, it's better to let him go and then kill him.

The more Qing Hui thinks about it, the more it makes sense, and the stronger his killing intent becomes.

In reality, Chong Xu didn't initially have the intention to kill Qing Hui.

He thought that a stray dog like Qing Hui would be easier to control.

But now the situation is different, he suspects that Qing Hui wants to use Zhou You to force him to hand over the soul lamp.

The truth hasn't been confirmed yet, but he can give Qing Hui a chance to defend himself.

At night, Chong Xu quietly took Qing Hui's soul lamp and left the Sword Sect.

He had already sensed Qing Hui's location, which was on the Coiling Dragon River, closer to the Right River League.

Coincidentally, Gu Youyou was planning to steal some chickens.

She needed to replenish her strength now that she was about to reach the Foundation Building stage.

The formation outside her room was like nothing to her, so she easily slipped out and happened to see Chong Xu acting suspiciously.

Should she give up eating chicken tonight and follow to see what's going on?
