Chapter 111: Chapter 86: When Riding the Wind Out of Penglai, Sword Qi Will Sweep Across the Nine Realms

Shen Feiyang sat on the high platform of the abandoned playground, gazing into the distance at the massive horde of Nine Nether Evil Demons swarming in from all directions outside the campus. His face was filled with bitterness.

For someone as lazy as him—someone who preferred peace and quiet over physical activity—doing the miserable chore of fighting ten thousand Evil Demons single-handedly was the last thing he wanted to do unless absolutely necessary.

After all, he hadn’t joined the Black Lotus Sect because he actually approved of them. He had been forced into the cult by the mysterious Female Ghost residing in his body and the overbearing Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect.

Everyone assumed that Shen Feiyang’s Ghost Control Skill was his Talent Divine Techniques: Soul Detention Order. After all, only the Soul Detention Order could both imprison Evil Ghosts within one’s body and command them to do one’s bidding.

But Shen Feiyang alone knew the truth: his ability to control Evil Ghosts had absolutely nothing to do with any Soul Detention Order. It came entirely from the mysterious Female Ghost who had unexpectedly appeared inside him!

The Evil Ghosts he seemingly controlled were never following his orders; they were acting on the commands of that mysterious Female Ghost. That was exactly why he hadn’t been able to stop the Sword Ghost from mutilating the Evil Demon corpses back at the wet market. Those guys didn’t listen to him at all—they only answered to Her Ladyship.

Whenever Shen Feiyang thought about harboring such a demanding diva in his body and being forced to join an Evil Cult like the Black Lotus Sect, he felt his future was hopelessly bleak.

He lamented inwardly, "Why... why did things turn out like this?

"I’m obviously just an ordinary student from Luocheng. I only went back to my hometown for the summer to pay respects to my ancestors. But on the way back, my body was inexplicably and forcibly occupied by a mysterious Female Ghost. Then a guy claiming to be the Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect popped up and forced me to join his so-called sect.

"I’m such a good kid who goes to bed exactly at ten every night, wakes up at six in the morning, and even gives up my seat to the elderly on the bus. Why did I inexplicably become a universally despised cultist?!

"If that were all, fine. But I just wanted to take my exams in peace, show enough potential to be recommended for admission to one of the Four Great Dao Schools, and then find a nice quiet spot to slack off. Who knew that before I could find a good place to goof off, I’d run into two weirdos who forced me to help them attract the Evil Objects’ attention?

"If I wasn’t weaker than that girl, and if I hadn’t found that guy somewhat agreeable and wanted to befriend him, I would never have done something so troublesome.

"First, my body was taken over by a mysterious Female Ghost. Then, I was forced into an Evil Cult by its Sect Leader. And now, I’m being forced by two peers to carry out a troublesome mission. Who could possibly understand this? Why is this world so full of malice toward an honest guy like me?

"It’s infuriating! Do honest people deserve to be pushed around at gunpoint? It’s absolutely absurd!"

Despite a heart full of complaints, Shen Feiyang had one redeeming quality: whenever he promised someone something, he rarely went back on his word...

"A Ghost Master. That’s quite a rare sight among Human Race Cultivators."

Shen Feiyang looked up to see two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects floating in midair above the abandoned Daoist School. Looking at the two creatures, his already bitter expression deepened, and he couldn’t help but attempt to negotiate. "Um, how about we sit down and have a chat? Fighting back and forth is exhausting, after all. Chatting is much more relaxing."

The two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects were amused by his words. They descended from the sky, landing a short distance away from him.

Seeing the arrival of strong enemies, the already bloodshot-eyed Sword Ghost seemed to catch their scent and impatiently tried to rush over. Unfortunately, after two solid hours of combat, its Ghost Qi was heavily depleted. Tangled up with the surrounding Evil Objects, it could only watch as the two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects approached Shen Feiyang, unable to break away for a grand battle.

The two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects glanced at the tied-up Sword Ghost before turning their gaze back to Shen Feiyang. With strange, twisted expressions, they said, "You want to chat, but we don’t feel like chatting with you.

"What if we force you to fight us... what will you do then? HAHAHA!"

Hearing this, Shen Feiyang pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation.

He fumed inwardly, "Fine, fine, so this is how we’re playing it. Is there any place left in this world for reason? Why is everyone so overbearing? They don’t give me a choice at all! Alright, fine. You really think honest guys don’t get angry?!"

Pushing off with both hands, Shen Feiyang vaulted down from the high platform and stared intently at the two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects.

"Do we really have to fight?" he asked.

"Yes," they replied.

"We really can’t just talk?"

"No."

"Sigh, alright then..."

Seeing Shen Feiyang’s crestfallen expression, the two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects laughed even harder. Forcing the weak to do what they didn’t want to do gave them an incredible sense of accomplishment.

But their laughter soon faded. A stream of black smoke slowly seeped from Shen Feiyang’s right hand, swiftly materializing into a Spear Ghost. And the aura radiating from this Evil Ghost was unmistakably at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Coupled with the broadsword-wielding Evil Ghost currently wreaking havoc on the playground, Shen Feiyang—a mere Qi Refining cultivator—was simultaneously commanding two Foundation Establishment Evil Ghosts.

This display of power didn’t just stun the two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects standing before him; it completely floored the Teachers and investigators watching from the conference room outside the examination venue.

They stared in disbelief, thinking, "Wait a minute, if this kid has such ability, why does he usually act like a slacker with no ambitions? Shouldn’t a genius like him act like he’s the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, defying everything in his path? He’s so young, yet he loves playing the fool to hide his true strength!"

Back on the playground, Shen Feiyang stood next to the Spear Ghost, fixing the two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects with a lifeless, half-lidded gaze.

He spoke listlessly, "A lot of people have forced me to do things I don’t like, but I never expected two Evil Objects to try it too. After all... do you really have the power to back it up?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Spear Ghost lunged furiously at the two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects. Meanwhile, Shen Feiyang pulled a large number of Talismans from his Storage Pouch, ready to provide support from the sidelines.

Because of the mysterious Female Ghost, many people mistakenly believed that Ghost Control was his only method of attack. In reality, the art he had dedicated his life to studying since childhood was... the Talisman Skill!

A Ghost Master?

Wrong, wrong, completely wrong!

The one controlling the ghosts was the mysterious Female Ghost. Talismans... that was Shen Feiyang’s true capability!

PS: There will be another update later tonight. My head hurts a bit, probably from a lack of sleep recently. Allow me to take a short nap...
