Chapter 10

In an instant, the temperature in the hall dropped significantly, and even the surrounding lamps turned a pale green, looking extremely strange. Watermark GG test Watermark GG test

Six figures floated in from outside, all undoubtedly ghosts.

After the six ghosts entered, they knelt before Mr. Xiao, bowing their heads and said, "What are your orders, Mr. Xiao?"

"There are a few Foundation Establishment cultivators at the small courtyard. With your current strength, you can't kill them, but you can make them weak," Mr. Xiao said calmly.

"As for the Qi Condensation cultivator, just kill him casually."

The ghosts hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, we don't want to kill people..."

Their faces were filled with fear.

Mr. Xiao coldly snorted, "Your physical bodies and lives are in my hands. If you don't do as I say, be careful you can't enter the cycle of rebirth!"

The ghosts trembled and quickly said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Xiao, we will do as you say!"

"Get out!" Mr. Xiao shouted sternly.

The six ghosts were in a panic and flew out.

After they left, the lamps in the room returned to their original color...

Night fell!

The inn was silent, and cold winds blew around it, passing by in an instant.

Su Fan lay on the bed, resting quietly.

Soon, the temperature in his room dropped significantly, and a ghostly figure floated around the room, finally landing beside Su Fan.

At this moment, the figure gradually solidified, revealing a pale young woman's face with long hair cascading down.

A ghost?

The ghostly young woman stared at Su Fan's face.

After a while, she seemed to find the position uncomfortable, sat on the edge of Su Fan's bed, and gently stroked his face, her eyes flashing with mischief and joy.

"This man is just a Qi Condensation cultivator, but he's so handsome!"

The ghost thought to herself.

After looking at him for a while, she felt unsatisfied and slowly floated up, facing Su Fan and hovering in mid-air.

In the next moment, she suddenly fell down, directly lying on top of Su Fan, pressing her head tightly against his chest, feeling the strong and steady heartbeat.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The heartbeat was rhythmic, adding a bit of noise in the quiet space.

"Go to sleep, don't press on me," Su Fan turned over and pushed her away.

The ghost was flung out.

Ghost: ???

What just happened?

The ghost was shocked.

Su Fan let out a light snore, still sleeping.

"What's going on? I clearly had him pinned down. Even if he woke up, he wouldn't be a match for me with his strength!"

The ghost was puzzled.

"Unfortunately, I must complete Mr. Xiao's orders, or I'll be the one to die." The ghost sighed and floated to the edge of Su Fan's bed.

After looking at Su Fan and confirming he was still asleep, she lay on his chest again.

"I've never seen such a handsome man before. Unfortunately, you're going to die tonight."

The ghost sighed.

She then straightened up, her hands emitting a sinister aura, and reached for Su Fan's neck.

This time, she would kill Su Fan completely!

At that moment, Su Fan suddenly opened his eyes.

Their eyes met.

"Can you get up? I'm a bit cold!" Su Fan said.

The ghost was stunned and asked, "Can you see me?"

Su Fan's expression was calm as he stared at her and said, "What do you think?"

"Ghost!"

The ghost suddenly shouted and tried to flee.

But Su Fan reacted faster, grabbing the ghost and slamming her onto the bed.

"You want to leave after lying on me? Not that easy!" Su Fan said coldly.

The ghost was terrified and curled up in the corner of the bed.

"It's my first time!" the ghost cried.

"Who isn't a first-timer?" Su Fan said.

Seeing her nervousness, Su Fan realized this ghost was indeed a first-timer.

Her technique was far from proficient.

Su Fan stared at the ghost and asked, "Tell me, why are you out to harm people? Fortunately, I have strong qi and blood. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been killed by you."

"I, I was forced!" the ghost cried.

"Forced?"

"Tell me, who forced you?"

The ghost hesitated and said, "Mr. Xiao!"

At this point, she couldn't kill Su Fan anymore.

Since that was the case, she might as well tell everything, hoping for a chance to survive.

"I am from Bixia City, where I have lived since I was young. Three days ago, the city's land god was replaced, and they said they would choose a holy maiden. My parents made me try."

The ghost became more emotional as she spoke, almost collapsing into Su Fan's arms in tears.

Seemingly afraid of being hit again, she held back and sobbed, "But on that night, I was killed by the land god. My body was sealed in the land temple, and my soul was captured by him."

"Mr. Xiao is the new land god. He forces us to do his bidding, or he won't let us enter the cycle of rebirth!"

"Since you can see me, I hope you can help me. Please unseal my body so I can enter the cycle of rebirth and be reborn."

Hearing this, Su Fan's expression darkened.

Another land temple!

Previously, the fish demon in the city corner ate people, and the land god did nothing. Now, the ghosts' bodies are sealed in the land temple.

This new land god of Bixia City is truly audacious.

All these incidents are related to the land temple, confirming their suspicions.

The land god of Bixia City is indeed connected to demons.

With the death of the fish demon today, the demons in Jinghu Lake will likely know and come soon.

Su Fan fell silent for a moment, making a decision.

He must visit the land temple tomorrow.

"Can I leave now, sir?" the ghost curled up in the corner, her voice faint.

Su Fan didn't want to deal with her and waved his hand, "You can go. I'll visit the land temple tomorrow and try to unseal your body so you can enter the cycle of rebirth."

"Thank you, sir. I will repay you in my next life, even if it means being a cow or a horse." The ghost thanked him and floated out of the window.

Su Fan: ...

Ha, you want to harm me in your next life?

Dream on.

Su Fan looked around, making sure no other ghosts were watching, and returned to bed to rest.

He was quiet, but Fang Qingming and the others were not so fortunate. Although Wang Luofei was a female cultivator, her spiritual aura was still attractive to ghosts, and there were two ghosts in her room.

In the morning, Su Fan got up early.

"I forgot something last night."

Su Fan opened the door and saw Zhang Shanfeng and the others standing in the courtyard.

Seeing the exhausted looks of Fang Qingming and his disciples, Su Fan finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He had dealt with the ghost last night but forgot to warn Fang Qingming and the others.

Su Fan thought for a moment but decided against it. A few ghosts wouldn't kill anyone, and it could be a good experience for them.

"Master, ghosts invaded last night. Although we noticed, our cultivation levels made it difficult to deal with them," Fang Qingming said, with dark circles under his eyes and a weary expression.

His eyes were lifeless, and his body was listless.

Ghosts drain essence and qi, making it hard for ordinary cultivators to defend against them.

Even the female disciple, Wang Luofei, was affected.

"Junior, don't be angry. This is a lesson. In the future, they will surely prepare defensive talismans against ghosts," Su Fan said with a smile as he approached.

At this moment, Su Fan noticed Yan Yuanhao entering with a group of people, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Ouch, my lower back, ouch, my head..."

Su Fan touched his head with one hand and his waist with the other, making strange sounds.

"What is Uncle doing?"

Fang Qingming and the others looked puzzled.

Yan Yuanhao entered and saw their appearance, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Good morning, esteemed immortals. I have already prepared breakfast for you."

Zhang Shanfeng turned and said, "Thank you, but we have been abstaining from food for years and don't need breakfast."

Yan Yuanhao didn't insist, smiling, "You all seem to be in poor condition. Did you not rest well last night?"

"Last night, they were cultivating all night, which is why they are listless. City Lord, you don't need to worry," Zhang Shanfeng said coldly.

He had already guessed that this was related to Yan Yuanhao.

Coming to greet them so early was clearly to probe their situation.

At that moment, a guard rushed in.

"City Lord! Bad news! Some citizens have returned from outside the city. There is unusual activity at Jinghu Lake, and it seems that demons are about to emerge!" the guard knelt and said.

Yan Yuanhao's face changed, and he said seriously, "Is this true?"

The guard replied, "Jinghu Lake is now turbulent, and a great demon may be emerging!"

"What should we do?"

Yan Yuanhao said, turning to look at Zhang Shanfeng.

"Immortal, our Bixia City relies on you!"

Yan Yuanhao was about to kneel.

Thud!

He knelt down.

Yan Yuanhao: ???

No one stopped him?

Zhang Shanfeng said solemnly, "The demons at Jinghu Lake must be dealt with. As cultivators, it is our duty to slay demons and eliminate evil. I will go to Jinghu Lake!"

He turned to look at Fang Qingming and the others.

"You all rest at the city lord's residence. I will return soon!"

"Ouch, my elbow..."

Su Fan was still acting.

Fang Qingming and the others said urgently, "Master, we..."

"Can you do anything in your current state?" Zhang Shanfeng scolded.

With that, Zhang Shanfeng leaped up, riding a cloud into the distance.

Fang Qingming looked at Su Fan, wanting to ask his uncle's opinion.

"Ouch, my heart..."

Fang Qingming's throat moved.

Forget it.

Behind a distant rockery, Mr. Xiao stood with his hands behind his back.

"Strange, that Qi Condensation cultivator didn't die?"

Mr. Xiao muttered, but seeing Zhang Shanfeng leave, he turned and followed, transforming into a red light.

Yan Yuanhao said seriously, "Esteemed immortals, the immortal who just left has gone to slay the demons. I cannot neglect you all. Please follow me. Let's have a meal and prepare a feast to welcome the immortal's return!"
