"I heard that an evil cultivator raised ghosts to wreak havoc. He recruited a male ghost with tremendous strength to fight and harm people for him, and whenever anyone was off guard, he abducted female cultivators. After violating them, he killed them, bound their souls, and refined them into ghosts to keep as pets. Besides controlling them and making them aid his evil deeds, he also used them for his own pleasure. Yet the two of you are actually with him despite being such young women. Aren't you afraid he'll trick you, get you killed, and leave you crying to Heaven and Earth with no one to answer?" the newcomer continued.
"Exactly. The evidence is conclusive. My big brother wouldn't make things up," the little girl among them said.
"Raising ghosts to wreak havoc—he must be a bad person!" another boy exclaimed.
Everyone who heard it immediately descended into chaos. I turned around, my face darkening. Liu Cong furrowed his brows slightly and stepped back as he looked at me, disbelief written across his face.
Ouyang Hanruo was stunned as well. She was so frightened that she took several steps back, looking utterly disgusted.
"What exactly are you talking about? Spouting nonsense to cover things up? Do you even know who I am? If you're referring to me, you've already given me enough reason to act!" This accusation had come out of nowhere. Who exactly was this person?
The young man had sharp, swordlike brows and delicate features. With a cold laugh, he said, "You think I don't know who you are? Aren't you the famous Rogue Cultivator Xia Yitian of Dalong County? Besides the ghost general who was holding a halberd and shield just now, you also have a female ghost and a little-girl ghost general by your side.
