Cang Li accidentally transmigrated. Upon opening her eyes, she faced an open-air "grand villa," a gift from nature—a torrential downpour—and five hungry younger siblings, all while bein...
Chapter 69. Fan was stunned for a moment, then turned to Cang Li…
Fan was stunned for a moment, caught off guard by Cang Li's question: What does "human" mean?
He did know about the human race, and the information about the witch race was not far behind. They knew about the fact that the goddess Nuwa of the demon race created humans and became a saint. These women were clearly picked up by them, so how could they be human?
Fan quickly calmed down, glanced at the unconscious women, and then said to Cang Li:
"Immortal, you may have misunderstood something. These women were picked up by my people from outside. If we hadn't taken them in, they would probably be dead by now. I never expected them to repay kindness with enmity, killing my people and escaping!"
Fan Shuo's indignation seemed genuine, as if he were truly angry for the dead members of his clan.
Cang Li ignored Fan's words with a frosty expression and said directly, "I didn't know before, but now that I've stumbled upon this, I naturally have to take my people back."
This statement was firm and powerful; if the great shaman before him disagreed, Cang Li intended to seize the person directly.
Simplicity is less intelligent than complexity. Upon hearing Cang Li's statement, he immediately stormed out, unconvinced.
"Woman! Stop talking nonsense! This is Mount Buzhou! My Wu Clan's territory! How dare you come and go as you please!"
Cang Li, sword in hand, said, "You're welcome to try!"
Fan grabbed Jian, weighing the situation for a moment. He couldn't discern this person's cultivation level, and the person gave off a dangerous vibe. He couldn't die here. Thinking this, Fan smiled.
“Fellow Daoist, since they are your people, I certainly won’t detain them. This is all a misunderstanding. You can take them away, but they are unable to walk now. Why don’t you come to my tribe to rest for a while? What do you think?”
Cang Li shook his head and refused: "No need, I have things to do and can't delay. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, you can go. I need to take care of my people."
Fan nodded with an unchanged expression, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave with him. He needed to go back as soon as possible to explain the situation to the Ancestral Witch Qiangliang. His intuition told him that the magic weapon that could drain the essence of the Witch Clan and cause their death was inseparable from this woman. He could not let this woman leave the Witch Clan alive.
The witch clan turned and left, but Cang Li remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on them.
Suddenly, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Jian conjured a pair of large hammers and swung them towards Cang Li:
"How dare you act arrogantly on my Wu Clan's territory! Prepare to die!"
Cang Li was prepared; he drew his sword to block the incoming hammer, and the Xuanyuan Sword pierced Jian's shoulder.
"A sneak attack from behind! You scoundrel!"
Jane laughed wildly:
"What sneak attack! I didn't attack you from behind..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jane's face turned deathly pale, her eyes lost their light, and she collapsed to the ground, dying without understanding what had happened.
Cang Li was stunned for a moment, then drew his sword, kicked Jian, and said with a frown:
"Stop playing dead! Do you witch clan members have your hearts on your shoulders?"
This unexpected turn of events caused Fan, who had been observing the battle, to change his expression and lose his composure. He pointed at Cang Li's sword and questioned him:
"What kind of magical artifact is this! How can it absorb the essence and blood of the witch clan in an instant!"
Cang Li was stunned, and subconsciously retorted: "What essence blood! Don't try to pin that kind of evil cultivation method on me! You guys are weak and incompetent, and you're trying to extort money even when you're dead!"
Cang Li was very angry as she spoke. She never expected that the Wu Clan was a group of shameless people who loved to extort money!
Fan looked at Cang Li with apprehension; he had to run back.
"Men! Get them!"
Fan ordered all his men to attack Cang Li together. Cang Li was stunned for a moment. Was he going to start a fight just because they disagreed?
Before Cang Li could think twice, the hundreds of witches who came up to attack thrust out her sword. She had made great progress in her sword practice recently, and her sword moves were no longer as chaotic as before, but were more powerful.
These ordinary witches were no match for her; in just a few moves, all the witches who surrounded her fell to the ground.
Fan had already taken the opportunity to escape, and Cang Li chased after him with her sword. Jin and the others' experience had taught her that if you don't nip things in the bud, trouble will follow. She couldn't let that great shaman escape.
Cang Li calmly chased after him and stabbed Fan in the back.
Fan looked at the sword blade piercing his chest. He knew it hadn't hit his heart. The woman behind him looked powerful, but her swordsmanship was mediocre, and her aim was off. She hadn't even managed to hit him at such close range. But he was going to die because he could feel the Pangu essence blood in his body rapidly draining away.
Cang Li drew his sword, watched Fan fall, and casually dug a hole to bury him, intending to destroy the evidence after killing him.
After burying the people, Cang Li turned back to Jin. She didn't know if she had killed all the Wu Clan members. Since she had already killed them, she couldn't leave any trouble behind. Cang Li clutched her chest and hurried back, feeling distressed.
As soon as she returned to Jin, she saw that Jin had woken up. Cang Li suppressed the great fear brought on by killing, gave water to Jin and asked her to distribute it to the others. Then she went to check the witch clan members who had fallen to the ground. If there were any who were still alive, she would finish them off.
Upon examination, Cang Li discovered something strange: the wounds on these witches were not fatal, yet they were all dead. Cang Li's eyes widened; she had killed so many people in an instant…
No, after careful examination, Cang Li came to an unbelievable conclusion.
Are these witch warriors some kind of fragile warriors? The kind who can't take any injury and will die as soon as they get a wound?
This world is too bizarre. Is the race with the talent of faking accidents?
The confusion in Cang Li's heart overshadowed the fear brought by the killing. He then quickly dug a huge pit next to him, threw all the bodies into it, covered them up, and restored the ground to its original state to ensure that no one could tell.
After drinking some water and recovering, Jin saw Cang Li skillfully turning over the soil to bury the person and carefully went forward to ask:
"Chief, why are you back? Have you seen Ah Qi and the others?"
Cang Li was startled and patted his chest before turning around to say, "Don't talk behind my back next time. I saw A Qi and the others. Don't worry, they're fine. I'll take you to find them in a bit."
By this time it was completely dark.
This mountain is still too close to the Wu tribe. Cang Li thought for a moment and decided to take Jin Chao to Kunlun Mountain for a while, and then go to Kunlun Mountain alone after making sure there were no pursuers.
The group walked silently in the darkness. Cang Li was preoccupied and had little desire to speak, while Jin was exhausted after being exposed to the sun all day.
After arriving at the place where Ah Qi and the other children were hiding, Cang Li relaxed and turned around to say, "They're inside. You all rest first, I'll keep watch, and you can come with me early tomorrow morning."
Jin nodded, feeling very happy. He was sure he would be safe following the chief.
That night, Jin finally got a good night's sleep.
Cang Li sat on a tree outside, looking up at the moon and stars in the sky with a blank expression. She missed that civilized society a little.
The next day, as the sun rose, Cang Li stretched. It was another new day. It didn't matter. So what if she killed someone? There were no police here to arrest her. If she didn't kill, she would be killed. Don't be afraid, it's okay.
"I've finally caught up with you!"
Cang Li was so frightened by these words that he almost fell off the tree.
No way! There really are "police" in the primordial world trying to arrest her!
Cang Li stared blankly in the direction of the sound, sword in hand. Was she going to kill someone again?
The speaker's figure drew closer from afar. Xuan Du descended from the clouds and smiled upon seeing Cang Li:
"I've finally caught up with you, Great Chief. You're moving so fast!"
Cang Li breathed a sigh of relief and put down his sword:
"It's you, Xuan Du. What are you doing here?"
She was terrified; she genuinely thought she had killed too many people and was going to be arrested.
Xuandu walked up to Cangli and said:
"I've been looking for the Great Chief for a long time. A couple of days ago, my master ordered me to deliver something to the Great Chief. But when I returned to the human race and asked around, I found out that the Great Chief had come to Kunlun. He's been gone for several days. I was wondering why I didn't meet the Great Chief when I came out of Kunlun. It turns out that the Great Chief took a detour to Buzhou Mountain."
Cang Li was a little embarrassed; it was her first time there and she didn't know the way well, which was why she got lost.
Xuandu took out the box containing the yellow plums and handed it to Cangli, saying:
"Great Chief, this is what Master asked me to give you. Please keep it. Are you going to Kunlun Mountain? I'm going back anyway, so I'll go with you."
Cang Li's brow twitched. For some reason, she felt a little reluctant to go to Kunlun Mountain. She was afraid of seeing Tai Qing, who was also her mentor. People who have done bad things are always afraid of seeing their teachers and elders.
"The Great Chief?"
Seeing that Cang Li remained silent, Xuan Du asked a question. Noticing Cang Li's unpleasant expression and remembering that this was Wu Clan territory, his heart skipped a beat. Had the Wu Clan bullied their chief? Xuan Du immediately became serious:
"Great Chieftain? Did someone from the Witch Clan bully you? Which Ancestral Witch's tribe? I'll take you there to get revenge!"
Cang Li snapped out of his daze and, seeing Xuan Du's menacing demeanor, quickly shook his head.
"No, no, I wasn't bullied, I was just thinking about something." She not only wasn't bullied, she even killed someone.
Cang Li sighed.
Seeing that Cang Li didn't seem to have been bullied, Xuan Du's expression softened: "What are you thinking about, Chief? I've been out for two days now, and Master is still waiting for a reply. Why don't you come with me and we can think about it together?"
Cang Li shook his head, moved aside, and pointed to Jin and the others behind him who had already woken up, saying:
“It’s them. Do you remember the first year you were born, when the heavy rain took away your people? I took the wrong path and met them when I passed by Buzhou Mountain. They were captured by the Wu tribe. I want to take them back to the tribe, but we still have to go to Kunlun Mountain, so I’m in a dilemma.”
Xuan Du was stunned for a moment. Of course he remembered that the entire human race lost more than a hundred members at that time. There was no second generation of human race at that time, and everyone was afraid that the human race would be wiped out.
"So it was them."
After saying these words, Xuandu said to Cangli:
"Great Chief, don't worry, I'll send them back to the human race. You just need to go to Kunlun Mountain."
Anyway, the master wanted to see the Great Chieftain, not him. He had a magical treasure that could contain living beings, so sending these people back to the human race and then back to Kunlun would only take a day and a night at most.
Cang Li smiled and said, "That's great! I was just worried that if I left them behind, they would be captured by the Witch Clan again when I returned from Kunlun. Xuan Du, I'll have to trouble you!"
Xuan Du smiled憨憨地 and said to Cang Li:
"Great Chief, you should hurry on your way. It's not far from Kunlun Mountain. Be careful not to get lost! Remember to tell my master that I'll be back soon."
Cang Li said, "That's natural."
After saying a few more words to Jin, he patted Jin on the shoulder and touched Aqi's head before nodding to Xuandu and riding the Xuanyuan Sword straight to Kunlun Mountain.
Xuan Du looked at Cang Li's strange flying posture, scratched his head, and whispered:
"The Great Chief's move was pretty cool..."
