After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 468: Catching A Traitor From A Very Long Distance

Jiang Qingyun has been in Central Continent for some time now. She used to be a famous assassin in Central Continent, so returning here feels natural to her.

She quietly swallowed the leader of a small family, effortlessly taking their place without the need to be as cautious as before.

Since refining the Demonic Heart, Jiang Qingyun's strength has skyrocketed. Coupled with her love for Zhang Chi, her state of mind is perfect.

Not only is she not controlled by the Demon Race, but she can also successfully transform into a demon and live among humans.

It can be said that she has taken advantage of all the benefits.

Moreover, with Jiang Qingyun's entry into the realm of the Demonic Heart and her complete control over its power, the figure in the magic mirror can no longer easily command her.

Compete to become the Saintess?

Laughable. I'm living well in the human world, why would I want to become a Saintess in prison?

Has their mind gone bad?

Only when her ambition is exposed does the figure in the magic mirror realize what kind of person they have gotten involved with.

Isn't this a good-for-nothing?

Taking all the benefits and doing no work.

Want her to do something?

Sure, pay up.

The master of the magic mirror originally thought they had captured a puppet in the human world, but it turns out this person has a dark heart.

This is also related to Jiang Qingyun's incomplete demonization. If it weren't for her concern for Zhang Chi at the last moment, she wouldn't have been able to successfully forge the Demonic Heart that the master of the magic mirror wanted. Instead, she achieved a Demonic Heart with emotions.

At this point, the master of the magic mirror has lost the means to control Jiang Qingyun. Even though she holds a high position and has great power in the Nine Netherworlds Prison, she cannot pose a threat to Jiang Qingyun across realms.

And so, Jiang Qingyun's carefree life in Central Continent begins.

She occupies a high position and quietly stirs up conflicts between families.

With conflicts come evil intentions, and her cultivation grows day by day.

Demons feed on the evil thoughts in people's hearts, which are actually a kind of spiritual power. When people have many thoughts, their spiritual power disperses, making them easy to be consumed by the Demon Race.

Jiang Qingyun's experience as the Sect Master in Sword Sect has also provided her with considerable help in her cultivation.

She is well aware that she cannot be too greedy, so she only absorbs a small portion each time, waiting for others to recover before harvesting again, just like cutting leeks.

If she were to devour a person completely, she would eventually be exposed.

However, she originally planned to cause trouble in a small area. If her family were to be destroyed, she would start over in a different place.

As a result, with her chaotic actions, the Jiang family she belonged to suddenly became the largest small family in this area.

It's... quite unexpected.

However, even the largest small family is still a small family. From an outsider's perspective, there is no powerful Dao Integration expert sitting in their family, so the intelligence and tasks assigned to them are relatively crude.

However, just a name has already thrown Jiang Qingyun into chaos.

She originally thought that Zhang Chi would at least need to cultivate in the Western Continent for several decades before making a name for himself. But this kid has become famous so quickly?

This is really causing a lot of trouble, isn't it?

Upon learning that many people are inquiring about Zhang Chi's information, Jiang Qingyun becomes uneasy.

The Western Continent can be said to have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but the Central Continent is filled with powerful experts. Even as a Demonic Heart realm demon, she doesn't dare to attract too much attention. Zhang Chi is probably still in the Foundation Building stage. If he provokes a sect with a Dao Integration expert, she would have to expose herself to protect Zhang Chi.

So Jiang Qingyun intensifies her efforts to gather information. This information is not difficult to obtain, but after hearing it, she wants to give Zhang Chi a good scolding.

Good news: Zhang Chi has not offended a powerful force with a Dao Integration expert.

Bad news: He has offended transcendent powers with experts who have transcended tribulation, and it's not just one family.

Jiang Qingyun is speechless on the spot. This guy's ability to cause trouble is too strong.

She has been causing trouble in the Central Continent for so long, but her reputation is not even one-thousandth of Zhang Chi's.

Of course, despite complaining, he is her personal disciple, and she cannot ignore him.

Jiang Qingyun's inquiries about Zhang Chi's whereabouts did not attract much attention. Many families were also inquiring about Zhang Chi, so it would be strange if they didn't.

Most families believed that Wenren Shu was the most likely culprit because of his strong power. Since his debut, he had never encountered a weak opponent in battle.

On the other hand, Zhang Chi was relatively unknown and came from a small place in the Western Continent. No one believed that he could defeat Wenren Shu.

It wasn't until people who went to the Western Continent to gather information returned and released the intelligence about Zhang Chi colluding with the Demon Race that the people from major families completely turned their attention towards Zhang Chi. It seemed as if the truth had been revealed, that Zhang Chi was the one who had killed so many people.

As for Wenren Shu, he was definitely a victim. Perhaps he had escaped, but he was in danger or trapped somewhere.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Qingyun was instantly filled with anger.

"Damn Wenren Family! They are clearly framing Zhang Chi! My disciple is gentle and kind, how could he commit such a massacre?"

Jiang Qingyun's bias was too strong. Whenever she heard others talk about how brutal and bloody Zhang Chi was, she would become furious.

If her strength was sufficient, she would have wanted to curse at them.

Bullying my disciple, just wait Wenren Family, once I step into the Demon Dao realm, you will be the first to suffer.

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me, where is Zhang Chi?"

Jiang Qingyun wiped the magic mirror and asked the question she wanted to ask.

The master of the magic mirror finally got the information that Jiang Qingyun cared about, and the entire Demon City became excited.

You also have your day!

The master of the magic mirror understood that for Jiang Qingyun, Zhang Chi was a very special existence. It was because of Zhang Chi that she hadn't completely fallen into the demonic path and had found her own unique Demon Dao.

Her feelings for Zhang Chi were not just because of love, but also because Zhang Chi was her guide on the path.

If Zhang Chi were to die, her Demonic Heart might go berserk.

On the other hand, as long as Zhang Chi was safe, her Demonic Heart would remain stable. Even if she devoured a lot of spiritual power, she wouldn't fall into madness due to mixed spiritual power.

Because her feelings for Zhang Chi were like a raging fire, capable of burning away all impurities, her spirit would always remain stable.

Hearing Jiang Qingyun talk about Zhang Chi, the magic mirror couldn't help but wish that Zhang Chi was already dead.

This was a perfect opportunity for Jiang Qingyun to be anxious, and the magic mirror could also take advantage of it.

For example, by spreading the news of Zhang Chi's current dangerous situation, it would make Jiang Qingyun anxious. As long as she was anxious, she would request their help.

Requesting help was equivalent to handing over her leverage.

The magic mirror seemed to see this result.

"Between you and me, a fair trade. To determine Zhang Chi's safety, you need to give me fifty desires."

The magic fed on desires. It had been a long time since it had tasted the desires of human hearts in the Nine Netherworlds Prison, and only when it traded with Jiang Qingyun could it have a taste.

Too pitiful!

Rarely did it have the opportunity to take advantage, so it had to make the most of it.

"At most five, any more and I'll find out on my own. Besides, I can guess that Zhang Chi is not in danger right now, so I don't need your help to determine that. Just tell me where he is."

Jiang Qingyun had her own calculations. Although she didn't know where Zhang Chi was or what his condition was, she could still tell that he was not in danger.

The magic mirror wanted to trick her, but it was a bit naive.

The master of the magic mirror: "..."

To consume such a large amount of Demonic Qi just for this bite?

It felt like a loss, but after thinking about it, it decided to endure.

As demonic energy surged, the image in the magic mirror kept changing. Black mist continuously overflowed until the image finally settled on a huge ship.

Inside the cabin, two naked people were fighting.

Jiang Qingyun: "..."

I fucking blackened on the spot!

The master of the magic mirror smiled with a hint of schadenfreude and said, "It seems like your little man is living quite comfortably and doesn't need your concern. Unfortunately, there are many beautiful women around him, and who knows how much space you occupy in his heart."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Qingyun angrily punched the mirror, causing no harm but infuriating the Mirror Master.

"How dare you disrespect me like this! If I ever escape from the Underworld, I will make sure you know how powerful I am!"

"Well, I'm really scared now. Since that's the case, I definitely won't help you open the exit of the Underworld anymore."

"How can you go back on your promise?"

"I'm considering my own safety. It's called emergency avoidance."

Mirror Master: "!"

How did I end up with such a troublesome person in the mortal world?

"What I said earlier was just out of anger. How could I possibly harm you? After all, you are my descendant."

"Well, I believe you. Please continue."

Mirror Master: "..."

I can't deceive her anymore. Forget it.

"Let's continue talking about Zhang Chi. Based on his current position, he should be in the eastern waters."

With just a quick glance, the mirror knew Zhang Chi's location.

"He must have the leisure to do such things, so it shouldn't be too dangerous. Let him be."

Jiang Qingyun casually said, as if she didn't care about what Zhang Chi was doing.

In reality, her teeth were almost grinding to pieces.

But what she said was not wrong.

"That's not necessarily true."

The Mirror Master was skilled at manipulating people's emotions. She smiled and said, "Once you enter the open sea, you lose the protection of the Five Spirits. Anything can happen in the waters."

"What do you mean by the protection of the Five Spirits?"

"The five desires."

Jiang Qingyun: "..."

As her ambitions were exposed, the mirror no longer provided information for free. She had entered the era of paying for knowledge.

This information might be important, so she had to pay for it.

After all, it wasn't difficult to obtain human desires. She just pretended to be stingy, making the Mirror Master think that the desires of five people were valuable.

In reality, she could harvest desires from hundreds of her own clan members, who ruled over cities with over a hundred thousand people. The mortal realm was indeed a paradise for the Demon Race, but those demons in the Underworld had no idea how good they had it.

After reluctantly giving the desires of five people, the Mirror Master happily talked about the origin of the protection of the Five Spirits, thinking that she had made a big profit.

"The so-called Five Spirits refer to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the Five Great Saint Beasts. Within the scope of the five continents, the Five Spirits form an invisible barrier that protects the five continents. The closer to the land, the safer it is, and all taboos and ominous things will not approach. Once you leave the protection of the Five Spirits, no one can be sure what will happen."

The Mirror Master wanted to disturb Jiang Qingyun's state of mind and make her panic.

In reality, the protection of the Five Spirits was very extensive. Although leaving the land meant leaving the protection of the Five Spirits, the coastal waters usually didn't pose much danger.

Zhang Chi was also a cautious person. Although he might not know how terrifying things were in the deep sea, he wouldn't recklessly venture into it.

He was probably just skirting the edges to avoid being pursued.

If he encountered anything ominous or forbidden in that situation, it would truly be a sign of his demise.

But Jiang Qingyun might not know this, so let her suffer for a while!

"If you're really worried, why not go to the Eastern Continent and take a look?"

Jiang Qingyun glanced at the magic mirror. She knew better than anyone what the master of the magic mirror was thinking.

The foolish Demon Race also wanted to deceive her.

Jiang Qingyun took out a map and quickly marked a few spots on the map of the Southern Continent.

"I'll wait for him in the Southern Continent."

"Why the Southern Continent?"

"Five desires."

"I won't ask anymore. Do whatever you want!"

The master of the magic mirror didn't expect to be asked for money in return. In a fit of anger, she left directly.

She had been blind to think that Jiang Qingyun was a pure and easily manipulated person. Who could have imagined that she had so many ulterior motives!

She appeared pure and good, but her heart was completely dark.

The magic mirror deeply regretted her hasty decision.

If she had known, she should have chosen Zi Mian instead.

That child didn't seem very smart, but she should have been easier to control.

Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in the world, and everything was too late.

Jiang Qingyun sneered and casually wrapped up the magic mirror. Without causing much commotion, she took some money and left the Jiang family.

She had only replaced the old ancestor of the Jiang family because she liked the name.

Now that she was leaving, she wouldn't have any attachment.

She headed straight for the Southern Continent.

At the same time, Zhang Chi was also on his way to the Southern Continent.

He had calculated that it was summer now, and the wind blew from the northeast to the southwest, so they had a favorable wind.

He didn't dare to use too much spiritual power on the ship, for fear of causing unfavorable consequences.

With nothing else to do, he could only be intimate with his wife.

Since they took turns keeping watch, there was no need to panic.

It was also because the space on the ship was limited that Zhang Chi had the opportunity to unlock multiplayer activities.

It was fortunate that Long Yan was on guard duty today and didn't participate.

Otherwise, if Jiang Qingyun saw him playing multiplayer activities, she would probably come over with a knife.

After the activity, Zhang Chi put on his clothes and went outside the cabin.

Looking into the distance, the view of the sea was really good.

The sky was clear, and the sea was as dark as ink, which could make people feel a deep sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

This was the instinctive awe that humans felt when facing nature.

After becoming a cultivator, Zhang Chi had lost most of his awe. Earthquakes and volcanoes couldn't harm him at all.

Only this boundless sea made him instinctively fearful.

If it weren't for being at a dead end, he would never have set foot on the sea.

"Why are you so afraid? I'm here, nothing will happen."

Gu Youyou rarely comforted Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi replied, "I'm not afraid of the sea, I'm afraid of my own imagination. When you look at the endless sea, do you think there might be some giant beasts lurking beneath?"

"If sea beasts approach, I'm sure I can..."

Before Gu Youyou could finish her sentence, she saw a hundred-meter-high wave suddenly rise from the previously calm sea surface...

"Who do you think is the jinx between the two of us?" (End of this chapter)
