After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 320 Strategy Progress 70

The more Zhang Chi calculated in his heart, the stronger his desire to kill became.

On the other hand, Gu Youyou felt a sense of joy in her heart and said, "Before you kill her, don't forget about her Innate Gold Spirit Body."

Zhang Chi: "......"

He definitely wouldn't forget. If he really killed Jin Ling'er, her Innate Gold Spirit Saint Body couldn't be wasted.

However, Zhang Chi looked up at the still shining Golden Cauldron in the sky and suddenly changed his mind.

"People say that there are gods three feet above your head. If I kill Jin Ling'er, will it really recognize me as its master?"

Zhang Chi calmed down.

Whether it was the influence of his kind heart or the return of his rationality, he felt that he couldn't treat Jin Ling'er like that.

Gu Youyou: "......"

So were you just teasing me earlier?

Gu Youyou was so happy that she was about to jump up, thinking that Zhang Chi had once again become the decisive and ruthless Zhang Chi. But it turned out that he was just bluffing.

Gu Youyou was so angry that she ignored Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi didn't mind. After all, it wasn't the first time Gu Youyou had been angry to the point of ignoring him.

Things could be done slowly, there was no need to rush.

Zhang Chi returned to the base, and Jin Ling'er was still sleeping. Her brows were still furrowed, indicating that she was still in discomfort even in her dreams.

Unfortunately, injuries to the Divine Soul could only be healed by oneself. While there were Spirit Pills that could help, Spirit Medicines that could restore the Divine Soul were rare in the entire Immortal Cultivation World.

Zhang Chi didn't have any reserves with him, and it wasn't easy to find them in this Secret Realm. He could only let Jin Ling'er endure it.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Chi's arrival, Jin Ling'er opened her eyes drowsily.

"Feeling better?"

Zhang Chi asked gently.

Jin Ling'er was currently a patient, and her mental defenses were the weakest. Feeling Zhang Chi's concern, she felt a little more at ease.

She murmured a response, and Zhang Chi asked again, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Jin Ling'er nodded. Her current symptoms were caused by the invasion of external evil energy, so her dreams were naturally different from Ao Mo's dreams.

Her dreams mostly consisted of fragments of memories from the souls of the deceased.

The souls that could be collected by the demonic sect's demonic beings into Law Weapons had generally experienced very tragic things in their lives. It was only after death that their grievances grew, and these grievances could affect Jin Ling'er.

Now, what appeared were the nightmares that Jin Ling'er had.

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

Zhang Chi held Jin Ling'er's hand.

Before this, they had maintained a polite distance from each other. This was a breakthrough in their relationship.

Jin Ling'er was currently in a vulnerable state, and her Divine Soul was damaged, so her intelligence was not at its best. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Chi's actions. Feeling the warmth in Zhang Chi's hand, she felt much more at ease.

"You go out and gather information. Have you found any clues?"

Jin Ling'er regained her spirits and remembered this important matter.

Zhang Chi sighed deeply when he heard her question.

"It's okay, don't worry. We just need to slowly gather information."

Jin Ling'er thought that Zhang Chi hadn't found any information, so she comforted him.

Zhang Chi shook his head and said, "I have already figured out our current situation."

"What?" Jin Ling'er was very surprised. She didn't feel like she had slept for long, but in such a short time, Zhang Chi had gathered so much information?

"This is how things are..." Zhang Chi explained how he had used the White Tiger Aura Concealing Technique to infiltrate and coincidentally encountered the conflict between the new and old factions of the Gold Spirit Race.

The process was mostly true, except that Zhang Chi omitted his inner thoughts and only objectively stated that he didn't go out to rescue and that he had searched the bodies of the enemies after they died.

Just as he was speaking, there was a hint of shame and reluctance in Zhang Chi's expression, which was enough for Jin Ling'er to imagine.

Zhang Chi didn't explain much to himself, but Jin Ling'er had already explained it for him.

Zhang Chi, at the Foundation Building Stage, was right not to go out and rescue when faced with six enemies at the Foundation Building Stage.

As for the two deceased, they were not killed by Zhang Chi, so there was no need to care about them.

As for Zhang Chi's soul-searching, that can be understood even more.

Although soul-searching is not a righteous method, the current situation is very dangerous, and they need accurate information, so Zhang Chi did nothing wrong.

Jin Ling'er also understood that although Zhang Chi did the right thing, his conscience was still condemned. This is a situation that only occurs when one's moral level is too high.

She could only hold Zhang Chi's hand in return and comfort him, saying, "It's not your fault. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Don't think too much."

And so, the achievement of holding hands with each other has been accomplished.

Zhang Chi smiled slightly at Jin Ling'er, completing this friendly interaction, and then spoke with a serious expression about their current situation.

The entire Secret Realm has fallen into the hands of the Demon Race and the Gold Spirit Race, and she is the tool used by the Demon Race to travel between the two realms.

Knowing that the Secret Realm is full of enemies, Jin Ling'er also felt the pressure.

Now she has cultivation, but she can't use it, and can only be a burden to Zhang Chi.

Although Zhang Chi is clever, he is only at the Foundation Building stage.

The opponents they face are all Foundation Building cultivators, not to mention the Demon Race who may have a higher cultivation level than her. In a direct confrontation, they have no chance of winning.

"The only method I can think of at the moment is to temporarily retreat and wait for the weakened period of the Golden Cauldron a few days later. The Demon Race can seize the Immortal Weapon, and so can we. If the Immortal Weapon truly has a spirit, it will definitely not let the Demon Race taint it. At that time, we may still have a glimmer of hope."

Jin Ling'er's head was hurting now, but she still felt that what Zhang Chi said made sense.

However, she added, "If I rest for a few more days, I may still have the strength to fight. When the time comes, I will do my best to stop the Demon Race and take on the responsibility of obtaining the Immortal Weapon. I will leave it to you."

"This..."

"Alright, now is not the time to decline. We can only do our best now."

"I understand."

Zhang Chi said with a heavy expression, "You just rest assured for these few days. Leave everything else to me."

"Okay."

In the gaze between the two, an unbreakable camaraderie was established.

Jin Ling'er also felt surprised. When she first met Zhang Chi, she really disliked this pretty face, but now she realized that Zhang Chi was truly a reliable person, a friend worth entrusting, and a comrade-in-arms.

After finishing the conversation with Zhang Chi, Jin Ling'er fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, she found herself on Zhang Chi's back, and Zhang Chi was moving at high speed.

"Awake? Drink this bowl of soup and then go back to sleep. It helps calm the mind and aid sleep."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered when you start a fire?"

Holding the steaming soup, Jin Ling'er said in surprise.

Now that she was injured, she did need some nourishment, but what they needed to pay more attention to was concealing their tracks.

Zhang Chi grinned and said, "Don't worry, I wrapped the jar in True Qi and simmered it with a continuous low heat. The pursuers won't find it."

Jin Ling'er: "..."

She knew how exhausting it was to continuously use True Qi, especially when Zhang Chi also had to escape for his life.

At this moment, Jin Ling'er suddenly felt the weight of the bowl in her hand.

She took a sip, and the warm soup warmed her heart.

"Thank you."

"No need to be polite. Eat well and rest well."

"Okay."

Lying on Zhang Chi's back, Jin Ling'er didn't feel any bumps. Even though enemies surrounded them, she didn't feel fearful.

However, she knew she had to recover quickly.

Three days later, she had to be in her best condition to help Zhang Chi obtain the Immortal Weapon! (End of this chapter)
