After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 107 Backstab?

Chapter 107: Betrayal?

Gu Youyou was trying hard to argue, but Zhang Chi could still see through the hidden meaning.

That's right, the current situation must have been caused by Gu Youyou.

"You're really something, Second Brother! We agreed not to cause trouble, but you caused such a big mess. Unbelievable."

Zhang Chi felt that he couldn't sleep anymore. Several times before, he had slept without any problems. But as soon as he let his guard down, Gu Youyou would immediately stir up trouble.

She must be feeling guilty, knowing that she had caused a big disaster. Look, her seemingly fierce words already exposed it in the first sentence.

"Alright, admitting that you're not the boss is enough. Although this trouble is a bit big, it shouldn't implicate us. The ones who should be worried are the Talisman Treasure Sect."

He Riverheart Island is the territory of the Talisman Treasure Sect. With such a big problem and chaos outside, it should be the responsibility of the Talisman Treasure Sect to resolve it.

We were just traveling outside and studying at the Talisman Treasure Sect. We didn't expect something like this to happen!

Perfect, Zhang Chi didn't plan to stay at the Talisman Treasure Sect for long anyway.

He was already secretly preparing to go directly to Longcheng, and the thing he wanted to discuss with Chen Runyu was this.

Of course, it was called a discussion, but it was actually coaxing.

If Chen Runyu really didn't listen, then there would be another plan of action.

After all, the heavens are high and the emperor is far away. Coming to the Talisman Treasure Sect to cultivate was just Jiang Qingyun's arrangement. Once he left, whether he could still meet Jiang Qingyun normally in the future was another matter. There was no need to follow her arrangements.

Zhang Chi didn't intend for the Talisman Treasure Sect to sink either.

If someone just glared at him and he sank their sect, that would be too much.

The best choice now is to wait and see the situation.

After all, the Talisman Treasure Sect is a sect and the most powerful force on He Riverheart Island.

Whether He Riverheart Island is chaotic or not, it's up to the Talisman Treasure Sect to decide.

Currently, there are only minor problems in Spirit Communication City. As long as the Talisman Treasure Sect doesn't have any problems, these minor troubles in Spirit Communication City don't mean much.

But if the Talisman Treasure Sect becomes chaotic, then the real massacre will begin.

"Don't be afraid. It won't be long before people from the Talisman Treasure Sect come to quell the chaos. We'll take action then."

Zhang Chi reassured Chen Runyu. His hearing was very sensitive, and he could feel that Chen Runyu's heartbeat was already very fast.

"Don't be nervous."

Chen Runyu whispered, "I'm not nervous."

Being by Zhang Chi's side made her feel safe. The reason her heartbeat was so fast was actually due to the bridge effect.

It's so dangerous outside, with fighting sounds everywhere. But when she was with Zhang Chi, the sounds outside seemed both near and far.

She could only see Zhang Chi in her eyes, and her heartbeat unknowingly accelerated.

Zi Mian could see what was happening. She felt that Chen Runyu was beyond help.

Come on, it's so dangerous now, and you're still thinking about men?

As an experienced assassin, Zi Mian was even more sensitive to killing intent.

It was everywhere here.

And she, a cultivator specializing in Divine Soul, although she had reached the Divine Soul realm, she couldn't use her spells in this place. The only thing she could rely on was her physical body.

Of course, she appeared weak, but if she really took action, when everyone's strength was suppressed to the same level, she would actually be stronger.

It's not bragging. In this inn, and even in Spirit Communication City and He Riverheart Island, there might not be anyone better than her at fighting with only mortal means.

Because she was an assassin, a top assassin who had stood out from various killings since she was young.

In the mortal stage, assassins like them used mortal means to kill each other, and the survivor became the king.

Stormwind Tower was like raising gu, only the surviving gu king had the opportunity to advance.

And Zi Mian was one of those who survived.

Isn't the current situation so similar?

What made Zi Mian even more excited was that under the suppression of emptiness, she couldn't feel the slave mark anymore.

This meant that Zhang Chi temporarily lost control over her, but it seemed that Zhang Chi hadn't realized this yet and dared to turn his back to her.

This was the perfect opportunity for her to strike from behind.

However, when she was about to make a move, she couldn't help but feel fear towards Zhang Chi.

If she failed, Zhang Chi would definitely not spare her.

"As an esteemed assassin like Zi Mian, how could I possibly fail?"

Zi Mian encouraged herself, regained her confidence, and tightened the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

Now that they were all mortals, no one would survive a single strike.

But...

The scene of Zhang Chi giving her a red string flashed in her mind.

"He treats me as one of his own, should I kill him?"

Zi Mian hesitated, caught in a painful struggle within her heart.

She longed for freedom, as no one wanted to be enslaved, but she was also afraid. In her fear, she felt a bit soft-hearted.

With various emotions intertwining, her heartbeat quickened.

Suddenly, a warm hand grabbed her hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Zhang Chi's gentle voice sounded, and at this moment, he truly seemed like a brother who could provide a sense of security.

Zi Mian: "..."

Fortunately, she was left-handed, and Zhang Chi didn't grab her left hand. It would have been awkward if he had grabbed the small knife.

Nervous as she was, she forgot to break free and allowed Zhang Chi to hold her hand.

At this point, the assassination naturally couldn't continue.

Zhang Chi's reassurance caused Zi Mian's struggling heart to lean towards the other side.

However, she still felt a bit regretful in her heart. This was such a rare opportunity!

But she didn't know that Zhang Chi was different from everyone else. His True Qi flowed freely, and when he really started to act, apart from not being able to use spells, his combat power was not much different from usual.

If he really made a move, a single sword qi would surely make someone collapse on the spot.

Everyone had become mortals, yet you're still cheating?

Cheating aside, how can you survive like this?

Have you ever seen a cheating immortal living as Lord Voldemort?

As Zhang Chi expected, after about half an hour, the people from the Talisman Treasure Sect finally arrived.

They held torches and ordered everyone to put down their weapons.

After all, the Talisman Treasure Sect had a large number of people, including those who guarded the city.

The guards didn't act during the chaos because they hadn't received orders from the Talisman Treasure Sect.

During the turmoil in the city, their priority wasn't to maintain order or protect others' lives, but to protect their own territory and property.

What happened outside, such as looting and arson, had nothing to do with them.

It was only when the people from the Talisman Treasure Sect arrived that they acted together, intimidating the crowd.

With the intervention of the Talisman Treasure Sect, order was briefly restored.

Zhang Chi took out three masks from his storage ring and gave one to each person.

"While it's safe now, let's go out and stock up on supplies."

Chen Runyu wanted to stay in the dark house with Zhang Chi. Darkness could effectively conceal her desire for Zhang Chi.

So when she heard that Zhang Chi wanted to go out, she was somewhat reluctant.

"Senior brother, don't you have anything in your storage ring?"

"I do now, but I can't guarantee what will happen next!"
