After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 323 Jin Ling'er'S Determination

The enemy has adjusted their strategy and started to adopt a defensive position, leaving Zhang Chi with no solution.

Demon Lord Qi Yue's actions are like a well-prepared plan, stable and reliable.

Even Zhang Chi's own thoughts have been seen through by her.

After a day and night of fruitless searching, Qi Yue realizes that continuing the search would be in vain. It is better to conserve energy and prepare for battle.

This assumes that Zhang Chi has no other options and, in his absolute disadvantage, forces him to confront her head-on.

Zhang Chi either watches as Qi Yue controls the Golden Cauldron and then turns to deal with him, or he breaks through the defenses of the Demon Race and Gold Spirit Race head-on.

In the face of absolute strength, schemes and tricks are completely useless.

"Since that's the case, let's also conserve energy and prepare for the final battle."

Zhang Chi no longer hesitates and takes Jin Ling'er to find a hidden cave to stay in.

With two days in the Secret Realm, if he fully utilizes his Innate breathing technique, he might be able to break through to the Foundation Building Late Stage.

Although the Foundation Building Late Stage is still not enough to contend with others, if his strength improves, Gu Youyou can also enhance his physical combat power.

That's the plan!

However, before fully cultivating, Zhang Chi prepares food for Jin Ling'er and leaves a note.

When Jin Ling'er needs external energy replenishment, she will wake up on her own and can continue to sleep after eating these things.

Zhang Chi leaves a note to inform her of the current situation.

Shortly after Zhang Chi starts meditating, Jin Ling'er wakes up.

Finding herself not on Zhang Chi's back, she is startled, but when she sees Zhang Chi not far away, she relaxes.

After this period of rest, Jin Ling'er's condition has improved a lot. She can think normally and her headache has subsided.

She sees the note left by Zhang Chi, opens it, and her heart sinks.

This time, it is probably the biggest crisis she will face in her cultivation journey.

In the past, she had two major backers behind her, so she didn't need to fear any enemies. After all, there were people to support her.

Now, she has to fight alone against the powerful Demon Race.

Even if it's the two Venerables from the White Tiger Sect, they might not be a match for this Demon Race, let alone her, a junior.

Jin Ling'er also knows that with her talent, breaking through to Dao Integration and even achieving Celestial Human is not a problem. But no matter how talented she is, if she perishes, she will have no future.

It's a pity that her talent has ultimately been wasted.

Jin Ling'er glances at Zhang Chi, who is diligently cultivating, and sighs inwardly.

No matter how hard he cultivates, he won't be able to contribute much. In that case, it's better to keep him from exposing himself.

After all, in the eyes of the Demon Race, she is the only useful one.

If things come to the worst and she fails to seize the Immortal Weapon and dies outside, the Demon Race wouldn't bother scanning the Secret Realm again with the Immortal Weapon.

If that's the case, Zhang Chi still has a glimmer of hope.

Upon thinking about this, Jin Ling'er made a decision.

Since she had already decided to sacrifice herself and let Zhang Chi live alone, she needed to carefully consider what she should do.

Jin Ling'er drank the tonic prepared by Zhang Chi and fell asleep in the cave again.

Gu Youyou noticed that she was contemplating something but didn't say anything to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi was busy breaking through at the moment!

During a break, he made another bowl of soup for Jin Ling'er and left a few new messages.

Gu Youyou was secretly anxious, watching the time pass little by little, as the day of the final battle was approaching.

If Zhang Chi could obtain Jin Ling'er's Innate Gold Spirit Saint Body, her chances of winning would be even greater.

At this point, why hasn't Zhang Chi made a move yet? It's making people anxious!

Gu Youyou had confidence in protecting Zhang Chi's life, but not in protecting Jin Ling'er.

If Jin Ling'er died, wouldn't it be a waste?

However, Zhang Chi was not in a hurry at all, and persuasion was useless.

Both sides in the Secret Realm had their own plans and temporarily entered a peaceful waiting stage, while the outside world was in turmoil.

The biggest event in Western State was undoubtedly the attack on Myriad Spirits Cave by the Black Imperial Palace. Myriad Spirits Cave suffered heavy losses, and a large number of cultivators from the Western State Alliance joined the battle.

Eastern Sovereign Palace had already suspected the Black Imperial Palace due to the unclear death of their crown prince. Now that the Black Imperial Palace had started a war, Eastern Sovereign Palace naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

Eastern Sovereign Palace immediately sent reinforcements and called on the Western State Alliance for support.

At this time, how could White Tiger Sect have the leisure to deal with such matters?

With Jin Ling'er missing, their bright future was gone.

For a while, the angry White Tiger Sect began a purge, and they actually found traces of the Demon Sect.

The result goes without saying, a battle was inevitable.

But what's the use of killing members of the Demon Sect?

Jin Ling'er was still missing in the end.

The two elders of White Tiger Sect were anxious and furious, and Long Yan and Miao Yin were also saddened by Zhang Chi's disappearance.

Especially Long Yan, she had just reached a sweet and loving stage with Zhang Chi.

Long Yan still remembered that day when Zhang Chi left, she entrusted him to come back early after finishing things.

She thought Zhang Chi was just helping Jin Ling'er with some minor matters, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so severe.

However, this matter couldn't be blamed on Jin Ling'er and White Tiger Sect. Instead, some people from White Tiger Sect were resentful towards Zhang Chi.

Because if it weren't for Zhang Chi's suggestion, Jin Ling'er wouldn't have separated from White Tiger Sect.

With a companion Spirit Beast, Jin Ling'er's strength would be stronger, and the probability of returning safely from the Secret Realm would naturally be higher.

Fortunately, the situation hadn't reached its worst point yet, and White Tiger Sect also considered the face of Dragon Transformation Palace, so they hadn't made any moves against Long Yan and her group for now.

However, the world has truly fallen into chaos.

First, there was the River Monster causing trouble, then the Sea Monster attacking, and now the Demon Race is causing problems.

In just a few months, Long Yan and the others have experienced too much.

Zhang Chi disappeared, and the only one who benefited from it was Hong Li.

Every day, Zhang Chi would seal her Monstrous Power to prevent her from escaping. But when Zhang Chi left, he didn't take the fish with him.

At first, Hong Li didn't know that Zhang Chi had disappeared. It wasn't until Zhang Chi didn't reinforce the seal on her that she realized an opportunity had come.

After spending another day, Hong Li quietly broke through the seal on her Monstrous Power.

"Hahaha! Today, I, Hong Li, am finally free!"

Emerging from the Demonic Beast bag left by Zhang Chi, Hong Li was overjoyed.

Although she had experienced many setbacks and humiliations during this time, as humans say, those who achieve great things must always go through many hardships before completing their transformation.

She had suffered enough during these days, right?

Thinking about the dragon blood that Zhang Chi repeatedly harvested from her, being locked in the dark beast bag by Zhang Chi, or being kept in a fish tank...

She had already suffered enough!

"I!"

Hong Li was about to say a few bold words, but she remembered that she had previously made a fool of herself. So she held back.

First, escape, then speak.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Hong Li quickly ran away.

But this time, she saw a nearby well and didn't dare to jump in headfirst.

Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Hong Li was truly afraid this time.

But to her surprise, she ran away just like that, without any trouble?

Well, no matter what, she had escaped.

Hong Li found a stream and, after making sure there were no traps, used her Monstrous Power to travel freely towards Dragon River.

The root of the Monster Sovereign's power was still there, and she had to go back.

It wasn't until she returned to the territory of Dragon River that Hong Li felt at ease.

In the wide river, she couldn't help but let out a roar to express her inner joy.

Hahaha, I, Hong Li, have regained my freedom!

Feeling satisfied in her heart, after venting her emotions, Hong Li quickly went to recruit her old subordinates.

The last stronghold of the River Monster was in the territory of the Water Spirit Sect.

When Hong Li arrived at the stronghold, she only saw a few thousand remaining soldiers, and there was only one Monkey King left among the Monster Kings.

This Monkey King was considered clever among the River Monster Race, so Hong Li arranged for him to manage logistics and retreat routes.

She didn't expect that after a period of time, even the stronghold would be in such a miserable state.

As she traveled along Dragon River, she didn't see any other members of her race.

"Monkey King, what's going on?"

Seeing Hong Li's return, the Monkey King was also shocked.

Without carp in the water, the monkey becomes king.

Since Hong Li was gone, the other Monster Kings were gone too. The Monkey King couldn't continue to fight for the revival of the Water Clan.

Being a king in a small place wasn't bad either.

But he didn't expect Hong Li to return at this time, which was not a good thing.

Facing Hong Li's questioning, the Monkey King could only complain, "Great King, you finally came back. In the past few days, the humans have been relentlessly hunting our clan. I was powerless to resist, and now only these few soldiers are left by my side."

Only now did Hong Li realize that on that day of the great battle, not a single Monster King escaped except for her.

With such a small force, how could she plan for the future?

Who could she turn to for help now?

"By the way, Great King, a human sent a letter before, saying that if you came back, you could find her at this place."

"Who is she?"

"I don't know, she's mysterious, but she seems powerful."

Hong Li fell into deep thought.

Why would a powerful human want to find her?

A struggle flashed in Hong Li's eyes, but considering the current situation of the River Monster Race, without external help, they really couldn't make any waves.

In that case...

"I will go meet this person and then make a decision."

Far away from the war with the Sea Monster, Dragon River was still not peaceful.

Undercurrents were surging, but the surface appeared calm.

The same was true in the Secret Realm. In the blink of an eye, two more days had passed.

When night fell, Jin Ling'er woke up.

After three days of rest, her condition had almost recovered, showing how strong her body was.

Unfortunately, although Zhang Chi had reached the threshold of Foundation Building Late Stage, breaking through was not something that could be done in just one or two days.

There was still one night left.

After this night in the Secret Realm, the Golden Cauldron would enter a period of decline. After continued decline, tomorrow would not dawn.

The Secret Realm would enter three days of darkness, which was the best time for the Demon Race to attack the Golden Cauldron.

The final battle was about to begin, and Jin Ling'er looked at Zhang Chi, her conviction growing stronger... (End of this chapter)
