The one who was hiding in the dark and taking action was naturally Jiang Qingyun.
She was angry, but the apprentice was still his own apprentice, so there was no way he could just sit idly by.
So she laid an ambush nearby early, planning to follow Zhang Chi. As soon as he left Jianzong, she would immediately take action and knock Zhang Chi unconscious.
Once Zhang Chi is allowed to enter Zi Mian's hunting ground, even if she uses all her abilities, she can't say that she can ensure Zhang Chi's safety.
Unexpectedly, there were also people who wanted to protect Zhang Chi. Chen Runyu brought food to Zhang Chi, and Jiang Qingyun also noticed it. After that, Chen Runyu came out wearing Zhang Chi's clothes, and she could quickly guess what happened inside.
What.
From that moment on, Jiang Qingyun's strategic goals changed.
As long as he persists until the end of time and prevents outsiders from discovering that Zhang Chi is still in Jianzong, today's disaster will be over for the time being.
As for Chen Runyu...
I can only wish her good luck.
It was not only Jiang Qingyun who was staring at Zhang Chi, but also Zhou Ran.
In fact, the great elder did not arrange for anyone to keep an eye on Zhang Chi, because they all felt that Zhang Chi had a good character and he would definitely come out.
What's more, they have other things to do.
Tang Ruoling was kidnapped twice, and the impact was very bad. Therefore, the Hezuo League also mobilized a strong force and vowed to arrest the culprits.
But this part of the force sneaked into Qingshui Port Town, and a total of five soul elders were dispatched.
The three elders were stationed at several important traffic thoroughfares. No matter whether the thief went to the sky or the earth or walked, it was impossible to escape.
Two others sneaked into Qingshui Port Town early and protected them at the agreed meeting place.
There are only so many soul elders in Jian Zong. If five of them are separated, Jian Zong's defense will naturally become weak.
This is also the best time for Elder Qinghui to escape. Chongxu must find a way to create an opportunity for Qinghui to steal the soul lamp.
This is of course not unconditional help. After Qing Hui comes down from the mountain, he wants to help kill Zhang Chi.
The kidnapper's request was that Zhang Chi go down the mountain alone to attend the meeting. Chongxu also grasped this point and suggested that no one follow Zhang Chi.
Anyway, both the end and starting point are safe, and the important positions in the middle are also watched by his own people. If Zhang Chi encounters danger, he can release the signal flare at any time, and everyone will be able to quickly support him.
In fact, if a spirit elder wanted to assassinate Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi would have no chance to release a signal bomb.
There is a more important operation here, and Zhang Chi certainly cannot be followed by important people.
But Zhou Ran volunteered, and no one stopped him.
Any disciple who is above the foundation building stage can find that Chen Runyu who came down the mountain is fake, but Zhou Ran happens to be not at the foundation building stage.
Chen Runyu stepped on high-grade magic weapon-level shoes and had a feather fabric of the same grade. He was so fast that Zhou Ran couldn't see clearly at all and only saw the fluttering feather fabric.
It was so late at night, how could he know that this was someone else pretending to be someone else, and he could definitely identify the clothes.
So, he asked his spirit bird to quickly notify Chongxu
Chongxu didn't expect that there would be a substitute, and he believed in Zhang Chi's character. Over the years, he had been trying to find leverage against Zhang Chi, but he had never found a breakthrough.
Can he still not know whether Zhang Chi is a good person?
Therefore, after the news came, he had no doubt at all.
In this case, it's time for him to take action...
There was a lot of commotion outside, but Zhang Chi was very quiet here.
Seeing Zi Mian suddenly become extremely arrogant and then suddenly withered, he didn't want to understand what was going on.
"Are you bluffing?"
After confirming that no foreign enemies were coming, Zhang Chi also became angry.
The little guy is quite good at bluffing!
Zi Mian: "..."
She no longer wants to explain, she is autistic.
She soon found out who the person who beheaded the puppet was.
What disappointed her even more was that Jiang Qingyun still used a sword.
Her knife was still gathering dust, but she fell into Zhang Chi's hands and was humiliated and played with by him wantonly.
The more Zi Mian thought about it, the angrier she became, but she was not willing to give in.
Her goal has not been achieved, and she does not want to die here.
But at this time, Zhang Chi had already started to take action.
"You are the only one who has a protective magical weapon, right? Let me find it where it is."
"Woo!"
When Zhang Chi's hand passed across his armpit, Zi Mian couldn't help but let out a humiliating cry.
She couldn't accept Zhang Chi touching her body, but she couldn't resist.
Under the double impact of shame and humiliation, her eyes gradually became moist.
"Sister, I'm not clean anymore."
Zi Mian's heart was filled with sadness, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
She can't fall here yet, and she can't die.
Only if she is alive can Qingmian see Zhang Chi's true face.
Even if she falls into the abyss, she must pull Qingmian out of the mire!
At this time, Zhang Chicai finally found Zi Mian's magic weapon.
It was a sapphire pendant. If there was anything that could protect me, it was this.
"Give it back!"
Zi Mian was already in tears, like a dead fish, but when the pendant was taken away by Zhang Chi, she still struggled to snatch it.
"My protective magic weapon is the clothes on my body. I can give you the clothes and return the pendant to me!"
Zhang Chi: "..."
Zhang Chi checked it carefully and found that the sapphire pendant was indeed a magic weapon, but it was a low-grade magic weapon that was barely qualified. Moreover, it was not a defensive item and only had the effect of reassuring and concentrating.
From this point of view, what Zi Mian said is true.
Zi Mian was in tears at this moment. It was clear that he had no will to resist at all and just wanted the pendant back.
It seems that this should be something very important to her, but the practical effect is very poor, so it only has commemorative significance.
Gu Youyou couldn't help but admire: "As expected of you, you are amazing."
Let me just say that this guy is good at tormenting people.
Every girl who falls into his hands has to cry a few times.
Zhang Chi: "..."
Slander, this is slander!
From beginning to end, he was not abusive in any way!
This child's psychological defense is weak, so can you blame me?
"It's not impossible to get the pendant back, but you have to agree to my conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Be my slave."
Zhang Chi said simply.
This is the last chance he gives Zi Mian.
If she doesn't agree, she will die.
I don’t know why the reinforcements didn’t come this time. Maybe Zi Mian was bluffing, but next time it might be true.
He relies on stability when he travels in the world.
If Zi Mian had second thoughts, he would have dealt with him as a risk.
At this moment, Zi Mian was also hesitating in his heart.
Because she also felt Zhang Chi's murderous intention, and if she didn't agree, she would die.
For my sister, I must live!
Zi Mian closed his eyes and said with humiliation on his face: "I promise you."
"Then take the seal!"
Promising surrender is not something that can be accomplished with just a few words.
If the master has no means of controlling his slaves, what should he do if the slaves bite him back?
When a person controls a spirit beast, he or she can use the spirit beast mark, which means using one's own consciousness to leave a mark on the soul of the spirit beast. Whenever the spirit beast has evil thoughts towards its master, the master will sense it immediately.
It is easy to kill a spiritual beast.
And this kind of branding that can be applied to animals can also be applied to humans.
The only difference is that people are more spiritual and more difficult to imprint, but because people are more easily threatened, sometimes it is easier to imprint.
For this reason, the Righteous Sect strictly prohibits people from imposing enslavement spells on people. Once discovered, it will be a capital offense.
If people were allowed to enslave people, the world would be in chaos.
But Zi Mian is obviously not a righteous person, so there is no need to be polite to her...
