After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 70: Exposed Like This?

"What's wrong? Scared?"

Long Yan saw Zhang Chi's face become withdrawn after he opened the storage ring, and suddenly felt very pleased.

She thought Zhang Chi had realized his mistake and felt anxious.

If it were before, she would definitely have comforted him.

But after being angered by Zhang Chi, she only wanted to add insult to injury.

Little did she know that Zhang Chi was feeling heartbroken over losing 90 million, and was also worried about how to deal with Long Yan next.

Long Yan's identity was not simple; if he killed her, he might have to run away quickly.

Judging from the 90 million fortune, not to mention the possibility of Long Yan dying at the hands of the Left River League, it was possible that she simply disappeared while passing through the Left River League's territory, and the entire Left River League would be cleansed.

Not only the Left River League, but the downstream Four Leagues might also be affected.

The consequences were severe, but if what Long Yan wanted to investigate was related to himself, he didn't necessarily have to resort to killing in order to protect himself.

To put Long Yan at ease, he untied the rope from her hands.

"The effect of the Spirit Dispelling Incense will last for a while. You'll feel better soon."

Zhang Chi explained to Long Yan the reason why she felt weak, but Long Yan didn't think much of it.

She just moved her wrist and removed the forbidden spell on her head.

She believed that she now had a certain ability to protect herself, so she didn't care about the effect of the Spirit Dispelling Incense.

"You've got some skills, kid."

Long Yan felt that she was now in a dominant position since she had stood up.

And Zhang Chi appropriately showed his obedience and apologized, saying, "I didn't expect you to be from the Dragon Transformation Palace. I apologize for my rudeness."

If Zhang Chi hadn't said anything, it would have been fine. But as soon as he said it, Long Yan felt a tingling sensation somewhere on her body, and Zhang Chi said she was ordinary and confident.

Apologize?

I can never forgive you in this lifetime. I'll remember you!

Long Yan stared at Zhang Chi with fierce eyes and snorted.

"As long as you haven't committed a major mistake, I'll spare you for now. You must not expose my identity, understood?"

Zhang Chi nodded, then shook his head, saying, "If I find out that you intend to harm the Sword Sect, I won't cooperate with you."

Why is this young man so stubborn?

However, Zhang Chi's loyalty to the sect did make her somewhat appreciative.

"Don't worry, I won't harm the Sword Sect. In fact, I'm here to help you."

Long Yan thought for a moment. Zhang Chi was observant, intelligent, and decisive. It might have a good effect if she let him join the investigation.

She decided to tell him about the case, otherwise he wouldn't give up.

"If you want to know the reason, you must keep it confidential. I'm recruiting you as my subordinate now, are you willing?"

Only by becoming her subordinate could she reveal the details of the case.

Otherwise, it would be a violation of the agreement made by those people at the beginning.

Of course, she hadn't sworn not to care about these things, but she still had to consider other people's feelings.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi readily agreed.

Long Yan then revealed her identity.

"My real name is Long Yan, and I am the person in charge of this case."

Zhang Chi: "..."

Did she just catch the biggest fish?

Zhang Chi silently criticized in his heart, and after Long Yan introduced herself, she began to explain the details of the case.

Zhang Chi then learned that the reason why the Dragon Transformation Palace had come was because they were initially concerned that Chong Xu's death might be related to some conspiracy, and they were worried that the Water Monster might return.

But after testing the scene, they unexpectedly detected demonic energy, suggesting that the person responsible for the deaths of Qing Hui and Chong Xu might be from the demonic path.

And that strand of demonic energy is exceptionally pure, it should be the aura left behind by a pure-blooded Demon Race.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi was dumbfounded.

The second brother is a Demon Race?

Isn't that a bit too much?

The conflict between races is difficult to reconcile.

The Human Race and the Monster Race are relatively easier to deal with. Although they have been enemies for years and are the two most fierce races in the Immortal Cultivation World, there is still cooperation and communication between them.

Being a half-demon by birth can only be achieved through deep interaction.

Those who are artificially transformed into half-demons don't count.

The prerequisite for reconciling the conflict between the Human and Demon races is that humans do not feed on the Monster Race, and the Monster Race does not feed on the Human Race.

Feeding on humans is something animals do, and humans are not the main component of their diet.

And while humans feed on animals, the Monster Race does not consider those with undeveloped intelligence as part of their race.

But it's different for the Demon Race and the Ghost Race.

The Demon Race feeds on human desires or souls, while the Ghost Race feeds on human flesh and essence. Both the Human and Demon races are on their menu, so this conflict is irreconcilable.

Therefore, the Ghost Race and the Demon Race were driven away by the Human and Demon races and exiled to the Nine Netherworlds Prison and the Rakshasa Ghost City.

Despite this, there are still people in the Immortal Cultivation World who are constantly being transformed into Demon Race and Ghost Race, and there are always demonic and ghostly forces at work. Occasionally, passages to the Nine Netherworlds Prison and the Rakshasa Ghost City open up, allowing some Demon Race or Ghost Race to escape and cause trouble.

Therefore, once traces of Demon Race and Ghost Race activity appear, various righteous sects will respond with the highest level of action.

What shocked Zhang Chi, however, was the identity of the second brother.

He thought it was some senior cultivator possessing him, but it turned out to be a Demon Race.

Does that mean he has no way out?

Perhaps the second brother's diligent cultivation and pursuit of benefits were just a way to entice him, and he had unknowingly fallen into the abyss of demons.

Feeling Zhang Chi's emotions, Gu Youyou couldn't help but defend herself, saying, "The Demon Race doesn't eat humans, that's a slander!"

Zhang Chi: "..."

In other words, you really are a Demon Race?

Zhang Chi was completely dumbfounded.

Staying with a tiger and having the tiger say it doesn't eat people, would you believe it?

But the problem is that the second brother is already inside his body, and he has been there for so long, doing so many things, how can he be clean?

Long Yan didn't know about Zhang Chi's thoughts. Seeing his serious expression, he thought he was contemplating the matter of the Demon Race, so he added, "The scent of the Demon Race was also detected in yesterday's massacre.

Both cases are related to the Demon Race, and they are also related to Chong Xu, so I wanted to start with the Sword Sect."

Long Yan was still hiding something in his words, not directly mentioning his suspicion of Jiang Qingyun.

Upon hearing this, Gu Youyou's whole person suddenly turned pale.

When she killed Chong Xu on the ship, she did indeed use demonic methods, a move called the Soul Annihilation Palm, used to kill the Divine Soul and prevent Chong Xu from seeking revenge in the future.

At that time, she left behind the aura of the Demon Race, and she accepted it.

It's possible that she used Zhang Chi's body and didn't control the demonic energy well, causing a slight leak.

But when the Zhou family was annihilated, she didn't make a move at all, so it was impossible for her to leave behind the aura of the Demon Race.

In other words, there is another Demon Race.

Gu Youyou also didn't expect that a small sect in a remote place could actually produce two Demon Races at the same time.

Isn't this ridiculous?

At this moment, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, since there is another Demon Race, the blame won't fall on him. He should quickly cling to Long Yan's thigh and completely crush the other Demon Race.
