After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 66: Long Yan

The connection between Chong Xu's death and the Demon Race is top secret, but the fact that he died is not a secret.

The Zhou family still has several peripheral members at the Foundation Building stage, and they also have some power in their hands.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. These people usually fight fiercely with the members of the sect. Now that Chong Xu is gone, Jiang Qingyun has shown the potential of a Divine Ability expert. Those who understand know how the wind has changed.

After the incident involving Zhou Ran, the remaining elders of the Zhou family quickly gathered the clan members to discuss the future path.

Some people suggest quickly begging for mercy from the sect leader, as there may still be a glimmer of hope.

Some people suggest quickly leaving the Sword Sect. They have offended the sect leader in the past and now it's too late to turn back. It's better to find another place to live a good life.

With the foundation of the Zhou family, there will always be a chance for a comeback.

Those who hold different opinions are still debating, unaware that the God of Slaughter has already descended.

That night, there was a thunderstorm.

The rumbling thunder drowned out the mournful cries of the dead.

When the thunder stopped, the people at the meeting realized that the silence around them was a bit too much.

They quickly became nervous, feeling endless fear in their hearts.

But soon, they stopped being afraid.

No one survived under the sword light.

Half an hour later, Gu Youyou also arrived here.

Zhang Chi was immersed in the study of talismans and was busy at the moment.

Gu Youyou looked at everything in front of her and didn't dare to stay for long. She hurriedly left and returned to the sect.

Zhang Chi snapped out of his studying state and was instantly shocked.

"You're going back already? You move so fast?" he asked.

Even though he was immersed in his studies, he still had a sense of time.

Gu Youyou didn't speak until they returned to their residence. She lowered her voice and said, "When I arrived, everyone was already dead."

Zhang Chi: "..."

Did someone else target the Zhou family?

This was not impossible. The Zhou family was powerful and had offended many people over the years. It wouldn't be surprising if someone saw Chong Xu's death and couldn't resist wiping out the entire Zhou family.

With this, Zhang Chi's small goal was considered accomplished.

Although he didn't do it himself, he had already cleaned up the potential trouble.

"Guess who it could be?" Gu Youyou asked curiously.

After becoming a person, she became interested in gossip.

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Don't think about it. Let's just treat them as allies and live peacefully."

If it weren't for Chong Xu giving Zhang Chi a sense of crisis, he wouldn't have calculated against him.

Now that the threat was gone, Zhang Chi just wanted to focus on cultivation.

Everything else was superficial; only one's own strength was real.

The next day, a majestic ship arrived at Qingshui Port.

This ship was as big as three merchant ships combined, and its height exceeded three floors. Such a huge object naturally attracted many people to watch.

When they saw the flag of a blue dragon on the ship, the crowd immediately became excited.

This was the unique Azure Dragon flag of the Dragon Transformation Palace, the number one sect of the Coiling Dragon River. Those who could travel on such a ship were important figures of the Dragon Transformation Palace.

The people at the port became eager. If they had the chance to meet these big shots, it would be a great benefit.

Seeing the expressions of these people, a chubby man on the ship sneered disdainfully, "A bunch of country bumpkins, they really can't compare to the Left River League. Is this how they welcome us? They have no manners."

It's one thing not to have flowers and music along the way, but they didn't even clear the area.

Are they planning to disembark in front of so many onlookers?

"Elder Feng, I didn't inform them of our arrival time. It's my responsibility," a serious voice sounded from the deck. When Elder Feng, who had been unhappy, heard this voice, he immediately put on a flattering expression and said, "Elder Long must have his own arrangements. It's my shallowness."

Another elder, who was more reserved, couldn't help but roll his eyes, showing how disgusted he was in his heart.

They were the main personnel sent by the Dragon Transformation Palace to investigate the Chong Xu case.

Leading them was a woman, her face covered by a light veil, making it impossible to see her appearance. However, her bright eyes indicated that she was definitely not unattractive.

She was the elder of the Dragon Clan, named Long Yan, a peak Divine Soul cultivator.

The other elder, who seemed a bit dull, was surnamed Chen and named Chen Guang. He was also a peak Divine Soul cultivator.

Although the three of them had similar cultivation levels, Long Yan, who appeared the youngest, was chosen as the team leader. This was because Long Yan possessed extremely strong observational and perceptual abilities. In the Dragon Transformation Palace, she was the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Of course, more importantly, she was the daughter of the Dao Integration expert of the Dragon Transformation Palace. It was no wonder that Elder Feng, who was at the same level, wanted to please her.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and Long Yan looked into the distance, her expression slightly changing.

Her perception was indeed stronger than many others. Despite the noisy crowd here, she could smell the strong scent of blood coming from afar.

"There's a situation, let's not go to the Sword Sect first."

Long Yan said, and then directly flew to the scene of the crime on her sword. The other two elders immediately followed.

Long Yan's mission was to find the Demon Race, while their mission was to ensure that Long Yan would not encounter any problems.

The three of them quickly arrived at the Zhou family's old mansion.

This mansion was built in a secluded place, with few people around. It had been a whole night since the incident, and it still hadn't been discovered.

After a night of rain and thunder, the blood at the scene had already congealed into small streams.

The scene was so brutal that Elder Feng and Elder Chen couldn't help but frown. They had just arrived at the territory of the Left River League and encountered such a thing. It was really unlucky.

Long Yan, on the other hand, remained calm. She bent down to examine the wounds of all the deceased and quickly came to a conclusion.

"The culprit is a skilled swordsman. All the attacks were fatal."

As she spoke, Long Yan had a feeling and took out a crystal ball used for detection. Soon, the crystal ball turned black.

This was the work of the Demon Race again!

Elder Feng took a cold breath and his face trembled.

"Elder Feng, go and call someone to guard this place. Elder Chen, you stay on the treasure ship to deal with the people from the Left River League."

"Elder Long, what about you?"

Elder Feng was more concerned about Long Yan's safety than his own mission.

Long Yan was confident and said, "I will act alone. Don't reveal my presence. I will find an opportunity to secretly investigate the Sword Sect."

"It's too dangerous!"

Elder Chen also voiced his opposition.

They both disagreed with Long Yan taking such risks.

Long Yan didn't care about their opinions and insisted, "I have a hunch that the Sword Sect and the Demon Race are connected. We won't find anything by investigating openly. Only through covert investigation can we discover the true secrets of the Sword Sect."

The two elders couldn't persuade Long Yan, so they had no choice but to follow her instructions.

Long Yan went to the town alone. By the time she arrived, she had changed into plain clothes and wore a mask on her face, making her look ordinary.

Her disguise was in place, but in what capacity could she infiltrate the Sword Sect?

Lost in thought, Long Yan heard a cry and noticed a pure-looking woman dressed in mourning clothes kneeling by the roadside, with a person wrapped in a straw mat on the ground.

A brilliant idea emerged in Long Yan's mind. She walked over and took out a spirit stone, handing it over.

"Thank you, sir. I will be yours from now on."

Long Yan's appearance and attire made it difficult to determine her gender, and the woman instinctively assumed she was a man.

Long Yan didn't mind and waved her hand. "I'm not buying you, I'm buying your father. You can go now. This position belongs to me now. Oh, and give me the mourning clothes."

"???"

The woman initially refused, but Long Yan offered too much money. After Long Yan promised to properly bury her father, she happily took the spirit stone and left.

Not long after Long Yan set up her stall to sell her "father," the Left River League sent Elder Chen to the Sword Sect.

Seeing someone selling themselves on the street, the people from the Left River League didn't look too pleased.

The people from the Dragon Transformation Palace had come too suddenly, and they hadn't prepared to clear the area. It was quite pitiful to see people selling themselves on the street, indicating that the people here were living in a miserable state.

But since the envoys had arrived, they could only try to avoid their gaze.

However, among the accompanying group, a young girl showed a sympathetic expression.

"Xiao Zi, let's buy her!"
