I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 34: Evil God and Evil Spirit

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Gao Family Village.

"Child? Has something happened again?"

Listening to the intermittent roars of tigers, leopards, and wolves, a blind old lady tottered out of her room, her words remarkably calm.

"Mother, nothing’s wrong."

Moving forward to assist the old lady, Panhu, with a dog’s head and human body, whispered softly.

No matter how much Panhu bent down, he still seemed tall and sturdy.

Meanwhile, outside Panhu’s house, the villagers of Gao Family Village had already gathered but dared not push open the door.

"Child, I’m just blind, not deaf."

Trying to pat Panhu’s head like she did when he was a child, but she could only reach his shoulder, the old lady said with a laugh.

"It’s such a pity, not being able to see what my son has grown into now."

"So tall, so strong, I wonder which girl within a hundred miles can match my son."

Obediently bowing his head, Panhu replied with a smile.

"As long as Mother approves, any girl will do."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately pushed Panhu’s head away with a look of disapproval.

"What kind of talk is that!"

"It’s about finding a wife for you, not for your mother."

"And you also need to see if the girl is willing; otherwise, it sounds like you’re a bandit kidnapping brides!"

Smiling silently, Panhu looked towards the direction outside the village and continued in a deliberately lowered voice.

"Mother, everyone is waiting outside! Right now, I am..."

Before Panhu could finish speaking, the old lady widened her eyes and said sharply.

"If they want to wait, let them keep waiting!"

"A bunch of ungrateful people, seeking you out in times of trouble, yet avoiding you when all is well."

Blinking helplessly, Panhu knew these words were meant for the villagers outside.

"Mother, this time it has nothing to do with them."

"Didn’t you teach me as a child to repay kindness?"

"Someone who once helped me now needs my help, and I must go at once."

After a moment of silence, the old lady sighed in resignation.

"My boy’s heart is too good."

"I did teach you to repay kindness, but I also taught you to act within your limits."

"Forget it, after all, a grown son’s will cannot be controlled by his mother. Go ahead!"

"Remember to come back early; I want to eat the meat buns you make tomorrow morning!"

Looking at the old lady with reluctance, Panhu replied.

"I know, Mother!"

...........................

At the same time, above the valley.

"It’s the Ghost King, it has appeared in person!"

Covered in flames, Xiluo wasted no time and plunged toward the source of the black mist.

Though the current situation was not part of the original plan.

Xiluo was not one to stick to the rules, nor could she let go of such a golden opportunity.

Whoosh!

The blazing flames illuminated the sky.

The black mist was quickly ignited and scattered, the night shining as bright as day...

At this moment, rather than a Mountain God, Xiluo resembled a descending Fire God or Sun God.

[What is going on with you?]

Seeing Xiluo clearly not quite herself, the Flying Sword, having regained the ability to act, swiftly approached her side.

Compared to last time dealing with Nai Fu, Xiluo now seemed absurdly powerful.

If Xiluo had always been this strong.

There would have been no need to wait for Li Boyang to step in and slay that Evil Spirit last time.

"Now is not the time to explain this!"

Not directly answering Li Boyang’s question, Xiluo, in Red Leopard form, merely growled softly before diving into the black mist of Black Cloud Marsh.

[You...]

Having watched countless movies and novels, Li Boyang immediately understood.

Xiluo’s current state is most likely unsustainable long-term.

Moreover, her fiery prowess might be due to using an ability akin to the "Celestial Demon Dissolving Technique."

Swoosh!

No time to complain about Xiluo’s lack of trust.

Li Boyang immediately commanded the Flying Sword to shoot out, transforming into a golden stream of light, heading for the source of the black mist alongside.

"Young one! Prepare to die!"

Facing a two-pronged attack by Xiluo and the Flying Sword.

The Ghost King shrouded in black mist suddenly laughed wildly, displaying astonishing strength.

Its claw sliced through the air with a whistling sound, synchronously releasing a chilling aura.

"Growl!"

In just one encounter.

Xiluo, attacking first, was forced to retreat.

As that claw was swung, it detached from the Ghost King’s body and transformed into a dark Ghost-faced Leopard.

Though the Ghost-faced Leopard seemed reluctant, it still lunged at Xiluo under the Ghost King’s control.

"Growl!"

The attributes of the Ghost-faced Leopard are entirely opposite to Xiluo’s, appearing as the perfect nemesis.

Moreover, the Ghost-faced Leopard exhibited fearlessness, showing no concern for Xiluo’s fierce assaults.

[Another ghost, and stronger than the previous Black Evil?]

This thought flashed across Li Boyang’s mind.

The golden Flying Sword swiftly cut through the air, flying past the Ghost-faced Leopard towards the Ghost King.

Then, a scene that shook everyone appeared once again.

"Screech!"

Accompanied by a loud cry.

A similarly dark Four-winged Eagle flew out from the black mist, reluctantly meeting the Sword Pill.

Just like the Ghost-faced Leopard manifested against Xiluo earlier.

The Four-winged Eagle was as hard as iron, and its talons emitted a sharp, cold gleam.

Even without direct contact, Li Boyang sensed that the opponent’s ability was bound to counter his own.

Clang!

In the moment of collision with the Flying Sword, Li Boyang’s guess was confirmed.

[Not an ordinary ghost? But a true Evil Spirit!?]

After a brief stupor, Li Boyang instantly reacted.

These ghosts were not ordinary; they were one of the strongest recorded in the Nine Chapters of Divination—Evil Spirits.

Evil Spirit and Evil Omen are two calamities described in the Nine Chapters of Divination Evil Omen Chapter.

The former is a natural manifestation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, a Deity nurtured by nature, classified by the Huai River Witch as a "Celestial Disaster."

The latter is the materialization of intelligent life’s resentment, an even rarer human-induced disaster than an Evil Spirit.

The formation of an Evil Spirit requires the deceased to have a strong resentment.

It is also dependent on the circumstances of death and the posthumous environment.

For instance, a bride who dies tragically on her wedding day and whose resentment remains might become a Red Evil.

Or, a Water Ghost wronged in death who finds countless replacements but still cannot reincarnate might become a White Evil.

Due to these unique conditions related to birthdates, geomancy, and terrain, their formation is even harder and their abilities more enigmatic than Evil Spirits.
