After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 465 Hong Li: Next Is My Turn

The most powerful family in the Eastern Continent is the Leng family.

Although it may seem like there are various powerful forces in the Eastern Continent, they are actually all controlled by the Leng family.

In the Eastern Continent, anyone with the surname Leng is considered to be of great importance.

Not only does the Leng family have immense power in the Eastern Continent, but they also have deep connections with the four major immortal mountains overseas. Many descendants of the Leng family have devoted themselves to cultivating in these four mountains for many years, and as a result, the Leng family has become like a towering tree.

On the surface, it appears tall and majestic, but underneath, it is intricately intertwined.

For such a powerful force, it is astonishing that their core successor died right at their doorstep.

The Leng family was immediately furious, and a large number of cultivators near the incident location began a thorough search, questioning people everywhere for any suspicious traces.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there is no concept of checking identification cards, but at the same time, they can also kill people without any justification.

This is the way of doing things for powerful forces. In order to vent their anger, they will mercilessly kill a large number of unrelated individuals.

But many people do not want to die, so what can they do?

They quickly provide any clues they have, in order to stay alive.

In this way, it can ensure that no one is harboring or helping the enemy escape.

Since they cannot find the real culprit, they will resort to indiscriminate killing.

Thanks to Gu Youyou's keen perception, Zhang Chi and his team managed to evade several sieges.

Here in the Eastern Continent, he truly experienced the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation World. What does it mean for human lives to be as insignificant as grass and mustard seeds?

That's how it is.

After Leng Qinghan's death, the Leng family killed all the suspicious individuals in this area, considering it as accompanying Leng Qinghan in death.

"I have always prided myself on being ruthless and decisive, but compared to these powerful forces, I am nothing."

Zhang Chi was slightly shocked, but not too much. He only sensed the way these big powers operate.

Fortunately, he was clever and had considered this beforehand, hiding in the mountains to observe the situation.

Otherwise, if he had hidden his tracks as before, he would probably have encountered the Leng family's cultivators. Once they started killing, they would have formed a siege.

The trouble would then be endless.

"So, growing up in the Western Continent, you are considered quite lucky."

Zhang Chi didn't fully agree. It was indeed lucky, but similar things could happen in the Western Continent as well.

It's just that the Leng family's power is too great in the Eastern Continent, allowing them to act without restraint.

Like when the Dongfang family members died in the Coiling Dragon River boundary, if it weren't for Long Yi's strength, the Dongfang family would probably have faced a massacre as well.

In this world, those without strength are like ants, only able to be trampled upon.

This principle applies everywhere, but the Western Continent happens to be in a relatively balanced state, with various factions restraining each other, forming a delicate balance.

In any case, with the Leng family killing indiscriminately everywhere, Zhang Chi could only hide and seek.

Fortunately, Gu Youyou was quite powerful, and Zhang Chi had plenty of experience in hiding. The four of them didn't encounter any danger.

However, being trapped in one place, living in constant fear every day, was truly suffocating.

"Just get used to it, we'll get through this period of time," Zhang Chi reassured everyone.

Being forced to hide is nothing new for Zhang Chi since he started his journey. Just get used to it.

Zi Mian is still an old teammate!

Zhang Chi remained calm and only sought to preserve his own life.

The commotion caused by the Leng family quickly attracted the attention of other forces.

The Eastern Continent and the Central Continent are relatively close in distance, so their communication is naturally very close.

And unlike the weak and fragmented Western Continent, the Eastern Continent is powerful and dominated by the Cold family.

The Central Continent has been supporting the forces of the Eastern Continent and fighting against the Cold family, but the results have been mediocre.

Now that they have seen the Cold family's wrongdoing, many families in the Central Continent have issued statements condemning the Cold family's brutal behavior.

What exactly has happened to the Cold family that has caused such a big uproar?

It didn't take long for the people of the Central Continent to find out the news.

Leng Qinghan, the daughter of the Cold family, has died.

For a moment, the onlookers secretly rejoiced.

Zhang Chi said that the Nine States Ranking is just a miscellaneous ranking, but the fact that it is valued by major families shows that it holds considerable weight.

Wenren Shu has the background of the Wenren family, and she had someone to fight on her behalf in order to make it to the top of the ranking.

Leng Qinghan lost to her not because she was weak, but because Wenren Shu's substitute was too extraordinary.

Leng Qinghan herself was also talented and powerful. Without a substitute, she would have been the true number one.

Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now.

With Leng Qinghan gone, many families quickly issued statements, secretly feeling relieved.

However, as the crime scene was discovered, they could no longer laugh.

It's not just Leng Qinghan who died!

All the people from various states who participated in the Brahma Secret Realm were wiped out, and the scene was extremely bloody and brutal.

Some people even lost limbs.

As for Leng Qinghan, only a bone with bite marks was left behind, causing the Cold family members who discovered the body to be furious.

Leng Qinghan not only died, but died in such a brutal manner.

The tooth marks clearly indicate that it was not an animal bite, but a human!

In addition to Leng Qinghan, others have also had similar experiences.

Upon receiving the news, the current head of the Cold family, Leng Ningshuang, sent people to deliver the collected bones to the major families overnight.

Go ahead, laugh, keep laughing, let's see if you can still laugh now!

This time, the families whose descendants participated in the Brahma Secret Realm were dumbfounded.

Sadness came so suddenly, like laughing at someone else's house on fire, only to turn around and find that one's own house had collapsed.

For a while, the major families were filled with intense emotions.

The losses this time were not only the most outstanding children of the families, but everyone was expressing their inner sadness and anger. If you don't take a stand, you will appear heartless.

This will cause the family to lose cohesion and appear unsociable.

What's the matter? Everyone else is crying, but your family thinks it's superior and aloof?

Cultivation is not just about fighting and killing, there are also human relationships and worldly affairs.

At this time, the Wenren family's head and elders gathered once again, each with a serious expression.

Something big has happened.

This time, Wenren Shu also entered the Brahma Secret Realm.

When they learned that everyone in the Brahma Secret Realm had encountered trouble, the people of the Wenren family also became a little panicked.

But when they found that Wenren Shu's soul card was still intact and not shattered, everyone felt relieved.

However, this relief only lasted for a moment. When they heard that everyone was searching for survivors and didn't see Wenren Shu at the scene, the Wenren family suddenly felt that something was not right.

If the news of Wenren Shu's participation in the Brahma Secret Realm was exposed, and she didn't die, wouldn't the major families come looking for trouble?

Even if they don't immediately take action against Wenren Shu, they will at least inquire why she alone survived.

Explanation or no explanation, both imply endless turmoil.

Wenren Shu is the link that binds them to the Tianzhu family, and there can be no mistakes!

But what the Wenren Family fears the most is the identity of the killer.

If everyone else is dead and she is the only one alive, wouldn't Wenren Shu become the killer?

"Family head, this matter is troublesome."

At the family meeting, the elders all had serious expressions.

"If Shuer is not the killer, she is most likely involved to some extent, making it difficult to continue the marriage alliance.

If Shuer is the killer, then the trouble will be even greater. We cannot bear the anger of the major families, and the Beichen family may not help either."

The Beichen family is the Tianzhu family that is in a marriage alliance with the Wenren Family.

Even as members of the Tianzhu family, they cannot indiscriminately slaughter the outstanding descendants of other clans.

Moreover, among the victims is someone as important as Leng Qinghan.

Behind the Leng family is also the Tianzhu family, which is not easy to deal with.

Even for someone from the Tianzhu family, resolving such a matter would require a heavy price, and the Beichen family cannot possibly pay so much for Wenren Shu.

"From the current situation, no matter what the outcome, this marriage alliance may encounter changes."

"If something happens to Wenren Shu, can we have the Beichen family change the person for the marriage alliance?"

"This matter is not easy. The Beichen family is interested in Shu's cultivation talent."

"If we talk about cultivation talent, isn't there another person in the clan with even stronger talent?"

"No, Wenren Li is too ugly. The Beichen family will not accept her."

"How about giving her a new face? The cost may be higher, but at least it can maintain the engagement."

..."

The people were worried and discussing, each offering their suggestions.

Some hoped that their own children could replace Wenren Shu in the marriage alliance, while others wanted to appease the Beichen family. Some ideas were even more outrageous, suggesting bringing back Wenren Li.

And the most outrageous thing was that after thinking for a while, they realized that calling me, Wenren Li, back and sending me to the Beichen family for the marriage alliance seemed to be the best choice.

Firstly, Wenren Li is the legitimate daughter of the family head, so her status is not inferior.

Secondly, Wenren Li is extremely powerful and has a very high cultivation talent.

The information received by the Wenren Family does not include Wenren Li's appearance and her true realm.

At this moment, the people of the Wenren Family are still high and mighty, and no one is thinking about whether Wenren Li would be willing to come back.

In their eyes, the fact that the family is willing to let Wenren Li return regardless of past grievances is already a great concession. How could Wenren Li dare to refuse?

So they are already considering the matter of giving Wenren Li plastic surgery.

However, as they discussed more and more excitedly, the head of the Wenren Family sitting in the main seat couldn't bear it any longer.

He angrily slapped the armrest of his chair and said coldly, "That wretched Wenren Li, she killed Xuan'er!"

This is the news that has just been received.

Many people in the Wenren Family are still unaware.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was shocked.

They didn't expect Wenren Li to be so ruthless.

After all, he is her half-brother. How could she dare to be so heavy-handed?

"Family head, is this true?"

The head of the Wenren Family closed his eyes in pain, waved his hand, and two guards brought a box, inside of which was a head.

The elders of the Wenren Family couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"This is..."

"This is sent by that troublemaker."

The perception of Wenren Li by the people of the Wenren Family was once again refreshed.

She not only killed Wenren Xuan, but also beheaded him and sent him back to the Wenren Family.

This was tantamount to slapping the face of the Wenren Family. By using such extreme methods to deal with Wenren Xuan, Wenren Li was undoubtedly declaring that reconciliation was impossible.

If it was just about Wenren Xuan, the Wenren Family would definitely propose to send enough powerful individuals to forcefully kill Wenren Li.

If anyone or any force in the Western Continent obstructed, they would be killed together.

The Central Continent had its own rules and couldn't easily act against small forces in the surrounding areas without reason.

These were rules set by the Tianzhu faction, and no force dared to violate them.

But if the Wenren Family had a reason to seek revenge for their son, no one would stop them from doing so.

The Tianzhu faction only restricted major forces from going too far. If there was a legitimate reason, they wouldn't interfere too much.

The Wenren Family originally had a reason to take action and kill Wenren Li, but unfortunately, Wenren Shu encountered trouble at this critical moment.

The power of the Wenren Family was limited. Should they seek revenge against Wenren Li or allocate their resources to protect and properly handle the matter of Wenren Shu and the marriage contract with the Beichen Family?

Everyone unanimously chose the latter.

The matter of Wenren Shu would have a result in a few months at most, and Wenren Li wouldn't be able to break through to a higher realm in just a few months, no matter how talented she was. It was simply too unrealistic.

The elders of the Wenren Family once again discussed among themselves, but no one mentioned recalling Wenren Li anymore. In their discussions, they all chose to conceal the fact that Wenren Shu had entered the Brahma Secret Realm.

However, before the meeting ended, someone said a fair statement.

"Everyone doesn't need to panic too much. That's Leng Qinghan we're talking about. Her original strength should be stronger than Wenren Shu's, and with so many people, Wenren Shu doesn't have the ability to kill them all."

This... was indeed the truth.

If it was Wenren Li, it would be possible for her to do it. She was an unparalleled genius who was invincible at the same realm, but unfortunately, she was too ugly and didn't please the family head.

Wenren Shu probably didn't have the ability to kill everyone, so they didn't need to panic so much.

However, when this truth was spoken, many people's faces turned dark.

The meeting quickly adjourned to deal with the aftermath.

Just as the meeting had ended, someone came to report that the young master of the Beichen Family had arrived...

After the tragic incident in Fantian, it quickly sparked widespread discussions in the Central Continent, Eastern Continent, Northern Continent, and Southern Continent.

This was mainly because the death toll was spread too widely this time.

Meanwhile, the Western Continent remained peaceful as ever.

Upon hearing the news of Zhang Chi being attacked and missing, Wenren Li became furious. After finding Wenren Xuan, she directly shattered him into seven pieces, almost unable to piece him back together. The two guards left by the Wenren Family for Wenren Xuan naturally died with him.

This was the pitiful fate of guards. They themselves didn't cause trouble, but if the person they followed liked to cause trouble, their danger level would increase exponentially.

Their cultivation was indeed not bad, but there were always those with higher cultivation. If they accidentally kicked an iron plate, they would die.

Now, they died unjustly.

Wenren Li originally wanted to send all the fragments of Wenren Xuan back to the Wenren Family to show them. However, under Jin Ling'er's persuasion, she ultimately held back.

Jin Ling'er also told her an important piece of information to appease her, which was that Zhang Chi was still very safe, but he had gone to a very distant place, so far that it was like the other side of the world.

With Jin Ling'er's reassurance, Miao Yin and the others also calmed down. They could only choose to trust Zhang Chi and wait for her return.

At this time, Hong Li became completely excited.

"So, this is my chance?" (End of this chapter)
