You Are an Evil Cultivator, Aren't You

Having signed the Ghost Contract with Sister Zhen, Su Fan gained another trump card.

Not only that, but he also signed all eight Fierce Ghosts within the Evil Ghost Banner.

As for the remaining Wisps, Su Fan decided to keep them in the Ghost Banner for now.

Regarding the other spells in the Ghost Path True Understanding, Su Fan had no interest.

Su Fan just wanted to raise a few ghosts for fun, to use them for reconnaissance and guarding in the future, or to summon them to pass the time when he had nothing else to do.

He had no intention of walking the path of ghosts anyway.

In a few days, Su Fan had leveled up the Ghost Taming Technique to Minor Accomplishment, and he became increasingly proficient in commanding ghosts.

However, the basement was too small, and he could never fully utilize his abilities.

Su Fan didn't dare to cast ghost path spells in his small courtyard, fearing discovery by the people of Qingxuan Sect.

So, he decided to go to Shaoyang Mountain in the next couple of days to try them out.

One morning, as soon as Su Fan got up, Old Xu arrived.

He put down the food box, brewed a pot of Spirit Tea on a mud stove nearby, and sat down to drink it.

"Old Xu, I'm going to Shaoyang Mountain tomorrow, so don't bring me food for the next two days."

Old Xu put down his teacup and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need, I'm just going to relax. I won't be going deep into the mountains."

"Alright, let me know when you get back."

After speaking, Old Xu continued, "Oh, right, I saw people from Lesser Yang Sect in the market town today."

Su Fan took a mouthful of rice and glanced at Xu Wen.

"What's up, is Lesser Yang Sect finally opening its doors this time..."

Old Xu took a sip of Spirit Tea and shook his head.

"Senior Qiu Guan of Qingxuan Sect is leading people to Qin State tomorrow. Only a few outer disciples are left in the market town. For the safety of the market town, they've asked the Foundation Establishment seniors of Lesser Yang Sect to temporarily oversee Shaoyang Market."

Hearing Old Xu's words, Su Fan gave a wry smile and shook his head.

It was tough to get by in a small sect like Lesser Yang Sect.

Their own market town was occupied by others, and they still had to help guard it without being able to say a word.

After speaking, Su Fan's brow suddenly furrowed.

Were the people from Qingxuan Sect leaving in such a hurry because something had happened in Qin State?

"Old Xu, why are the people from Qingxuan Sect returning to Qin State?"

Xu Wen thought for a moment and said, "I actually asked. According to that disciple from Lesser Yang Sect, they seem to be escorting something back to the sect and will return in a while."

Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then there was nothing to worry about.

The next day, Su Fan got up early.

He ate the breakfast Old Xu brought and then left the market town.

Su Fan didn't have a Flying Shuttle for transportation, so he had to trudge into the mountains on foot.

As soon as he left the market town, he saw over a dozen Flying Boats flying over from a distance. One of them landed near Shaoyang Market.

Nearly a hundred Qingxuan Sect disciples, who had been waiting there, hurriedly boarded the Flying Boat and set off in the direction of Qin State.

Su Fan frowned. Almost all the Qingxuan Sect people were leaving.

What were they escorting that required so many people?

But he didn't think too much about it, as they would be back in a while.

It was almost noon when Su Fan finally entered the mountains.

Su Fan didn't go deep into the mountains. He stayed in the outer areas and found a quiet place to set up camp.

Since there were no Demonic Beasts or spirit herbs nearby, Rogue Cultivators who entered the mountains wouldn't waste their time here.

This was a naturally formed small mountain valley with beautiful scenery.

To the north was a cliff that soared into the clouds, with dense climbing plants covering the rock face.

A waterfall flowed down the steep cliff.

Below, there was a small pool where spring water bubbled and splashed.

Mist swirled around, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

Such a wonderful place was definitely a treasure for outdoor camping.

This time, he had brought a grill and all the seasonings. He set up the tent he had custom-made in the market town by the pool and laid out a lounge chair.

Su Fan set up the grill and placed the meat skewers he had been feeding all night.

After the skewers were grilled, he took out a bottle of Spirit Wine, sat on the lounge chair, and poured himself a drink. It felt truly wonderful.

The only regret was that it would have been perfect if there was a girl.

Yeah, she has one too.

"Sister Zhen, come out..."

Su Fan waved his hand, taking out the Evil Ghost Banner to summon Sister Sadako.

Sister Zhen's black hair was like silk, and she wore a white dress that reached her waist, without any accessories.

She was like a fairy descended from heaven, unstained by dust.

Her pair of black eyes held a deep chill, her cheeks were as fair and smooth as snow, and her expression was as cold as ice.

She stood alone, ethereal and celestial.

Su Fan lay lazily on the lounge chair, eating skewers and drinking spirit wine, watching Sister Zhen's ghostly figure drift around the valley.

Apart from the chill, everything was perfect.

For the next two days, Su Fan stayed in the valley.

If he had known there was such a beautiful place in the mountains, he would have come here long ago. It was much more comfortable than staying at home.

Su Fan released all the fierce ghosts from the Evil Ghost Banner to practice his Ghost Taming Technique.

At night, he would also release a few fierce ghosts to keep watch around the area.

Every day, besides barbecuing and drinking, he cultivated the Primordial Chaos Technique and the Spirit Forging Technique, then practiced swordplay in the valley or honed his spells.

One night, Su Fan sat cross-legged in his tent, cultivating the Primordial Chaos Technique.

At that moment, a fierce ghost on watch in the distance suddenly lost contact.

Su Fan froze. He quickly stood up and slapped a high-grade Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman onto himself.

Just as he was about to recall the other two fierce ghosts, he lost contact with them as well.

Su Fan swiftly gathered everything in the valley into his storage bag, then turned and ran out of the valley.

The strength of a fierce ghost was equivalent to a Qi Refining Mid-stage Cultivator, and their strength would even increase at night.

Three fierce ghosts had vanished without a trace, so the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, no one ever came to this place during the day, let alone at night. Whoever was here must have some unspeakable secret.

He should leave this place as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He hadn't run far when a figure darted out from the surrounding woods, blocking his path.

The person was wearing a hooded black robe, the hood obscuring most of their face, making it impossible to discern their features.

Just as Su Fan was about to draw his magic sword, he saw dozens of figures whistling through the air.

Su Fan's spiritual sense swept out, and his face turned pale.

These people were all Late Qi Refining cultivators. What a joke, there was no way he could fight them.

At this moment, a figure materialized in the sky in the distance.

A chilling aura pressed down overwhelmingly, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Damn it... a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator..."

Su Fan's mind exploded. This was the first time he had been so close to a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

This was the end.

Let alone fighting, he didn't even have a chance to run.

The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator in the distant sky glanced at him.

Then their figure slowly faded, disappearing into the dark night as if they had never existed.

Su Fan had already guessed their identity; they must be Demonic Cultivators.

The black-robed cultivator opposite him walked over and gave Su Fan a cold look.

"Those fierce ghosts were yours. You're an Evil Cultivator, aren't you?"

Su Fan's heart stirred, and he quickly nodded.

Seeing him nod, the black-robed cultivator took out a black pill and handed it to him.

"We happen to be short-handed. Eat this Heartbreak Pill."

The other party didn't seem to be asking for his consent. If he refused, these people definitely wouldn't let him go.

Even though he knew the Heartbreak Pill wasn't a good thing, he had no choice but to accept.

Su Fan gritted his teeth, took the Heartbreak Pill, and put it in his mouth.
