"Hehehe... hehehe..."

  Not long after the two people from Liefeng Hall left, an evil ghost possessing a deg corpse, wearing a cloak and riding a demonic wolf, arrived at the gate of Xu Taiping's courtyard.

  "Do you think those useless people dare to e and catch me?"

  The evil ghost s Xu Taiping, who was standing on the roof.

  "As long as I stay inside, what you do to me?"

  Xu Taipied, then he loosened his fingers and a True Qi-infused arroed in residual glow shot out with a "swoosh".

  "Bang!"

  However, what Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the evil ghost in the bck robe suddenly drew a long sword from his robe and accurately cut off the arrow he had shot.

  "If it weren't for your sneak attack yesterday, how could a brat like you, who hasn't even reached the Opening Realm , hurt me!"

  The evil ghost sneered, pointing his sword directly at Xu Taiping on the roof.

  Xu Taiping's face became serious when he saw this.

  Just from the evil ghost's sword strike, he could tell that the oppo's strength far surpassed his owerday, he was able to force him to leave Liu Qingmei's body only because of the ued sneak attack.

  "There is only one ce for a sneak attack. It will be very difficult to force him out of his body again and kill him with alcohol."

  While Xu Taiping was thinking, he prepared another arroondered in his mind.

  "Little guy, don't think that I 't do anything just because you're hiding in the courtyard. In aen days, I will be able to dig up the secret passage that leads to your backyard medial garden. Once I block it, yarden will have no water, and all the spiritual herbs will wither intrass!"

  The evil ghost said with a ing smile, threatening Xu Taiping.

  Hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

  The water source of his backyard medial garden was indeed a hidden underground passage. There would usually be a tinuous flow of water from the garden's ditch, making watering very ve.

  If the evil ghost really mao break the secret passage, he would have to go out to fetch water. Otherwise, it wouldn't take long for all the newly pnted peril in the garden to die.

  "If I store water in advand the water is cut off in ten days, I still hold on for four or five days. In other words, I only have fifteen days left to prepare."

  Xu Taiping's mind inning rapidly.

  "Little guy, the reason I'm telling you all this is because I see that you're clever. I want to show you a way out. If you surrender and you bey ghost servant, or I'll treat you like Liu Qingmei, using your soul as a wick for a mp. I'll let you taste what it's like to be worse off than dead!"

  After a series of threats, the evil ghost finally revealed his true purpose for ing today.

  After yesterday's i, he saw Xu Taiping's cleverness and wao take his physical body for the Tiger King, and then take his soul as his ghost servant.

  In this day and age, even ghosts are short of manpower.

  "I am a righteous cultivator of the Qingxua. How I bee an aplice to a tiger like you?"

  Xu Taiping sneered and then released his fingers with a "swoosh", shooting another arrow.

  "Swish!"

  As expected, his arrow was once again cut down by the evil ghost.

  "Righteous cultivator?"

  After cutting down Xu Taiping's arrow, the evil ghost seemed to hear a funny joke and burst into ughter.

  "In the Daoist teags, it is said that one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. In the end, all things return to oherefore, the various paths of cultivation in this world are just different ways to the same goal. How there be a distin between good and evil? If you follow me, I will teach you the path of ghost cultivation. Given time, you still achieve success!"

  Uo coerce Xu Taiping, the evil ghost began to ge his strategy and tried to entice him instead.

  "The Dao may not distinguish between good and evil, but people do. The Book Saint said, 'Born as a human, cultivate yourself, help others, be like water, and be good while dwelling in the Evil Abyss!'"

  At this point, Xu Taiping prepared another arrow, raised his head proudly, and looked directly at the evil ghost, tinuing, "You were born as a human, but instead of doing good deeds, you became an aplice to a tiger, harming your own kind and bullying the weak. This is a great evil and must be punished!"

  At this moment, Xu Taiping was less than five feet tall, but when he spoke these words, he seemed much taller than the eight-foot-tall evil ghost.

  "Since you're looking for death, I will grant your wish!"

  The angry evil ghost snorted. While anding the demonic wolf beh him to ge dire, he turned his head and tio threaten Xu Taiping fiercely, "Wheer source is cut off, I'm not just going to let yarden's spiritual herbs wither. Let me tell you, the ditches in this gardehe source of the spiritual power for the barrier around your residence. Ohe water source is cut off, the barrier around the courtyard will break on its own!"

  Perhaps because he was too angry or because he uimated Xu Taiping, the evil ghost actually revealed su important matter.

  "Just you wait, within half a month, I will take your life!"

  After saying this, the evil ghost rode the demonic wolf and disappeared into the nearby mountains and forests beside the courtyard in a fsh.

  "Half a month... that's enough!"Xu Taiping g the forest where the Evil Ghost had disappeared, then ched his fist tightly.

  The arrows he had shot were not random, but iional probes of the Evil Ghost's strength.

  "Three arrows in a row, the Evil Ghost chose to block each time, which proves that when the body he possesses is injured, his soul is also damaged."

  "Moreover, the force of eay three arrows was actually different, and he was noticeably slower when blog the st two arrows. From this, it seems that if my cultivation could advance further, he might not be able to block my arrows so effortlessly."

  "If I make him a little more careless, it's possible to hurt him."

  With this thought, Xu Taiping leaped down from the roof, then g the small courtyard and murmured:

  "Acc to my true cultivation level, I only fight him if I break through the Opening Realm . Within half a month, even if I upgrade my Fading Su Scripture to the Frozen stage, to kill that Evil Ghost, I only set a trap and catch him off guard."

  "There's only one ce, I have to be fully prepared."

  Xu Taiping could choose to run away, for example, dousing himself with a few bottles of strong liquor to keep the Evil Ghost at bay.

  But the problem was, the surrounding hundreds of miles were all wilderness, how long could he escape?

  "Instead of thinking about how to escape, it's better to fight with my back to the wall."

  Xu Taiping turned and strode towards his bedroom.

  His time was extremely precious now, not a moment could be wasted.

  However, what Xu Taiping didn't know was that the se of his standoff with the Evil Ghost today was seen and heard by a figure in the forest a few miles away.

  It was an old man lying on a tree branch, with white hair and ragged clothes.

  The old man had a bronze long sword hanging from his waist and held a wine gourd in his hand.
