I Killed Myself?!

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes at him. “Really? Don't blame me if I teach you a lesson.”

With that, Ye Fan prepared to punish him.

“Hehehe... Why are you getting angry? I only ate demonic cultivators. I'm not a wolf if I'm lying to you.”

Zhuifeng quickly changed his tune. Seeing that Ye Fan was still staring at him, he added:

“I swear, if I ever ate a righteous cultivator in the Northern Province, may I die a horrible death and never find a wife for the rest of my life...”

Ye Fan withdrew his hold on Zhuifeng's soul imprint.

So it wasn't the Gale Wolf's fault. Was the problem still with himself?

Just then, a furious voice boomed, “Vile villain, hand over your life!”

Hearing this voice, Ye Fan knew someone else had come to kill him.

Instantly, Ye Fan's entire body surged with murderous intent. They were truly seeking death.

He turned his head and saw that the newcomer was actually Old Ghost Jiang. Why did this old man want to kill him too?

Did he find out that Ye Fan had robbed his family's alchemy furnace? Or was it something else?

But right now, he had no time to think. Old Ghost Jiang's attack was already upon him.

Old Ghost Jiang's dense spiritual energy condensed into several crimson fire patterns, transforming into a sky full of pill fire that swept straight toward Ye Fan.

The heatwave instantly reduced the surrounding vegetation to ash.

Instead of retreating, Ye Fan advanced. Clenching his fist, the Blood Jade Sword appeared in his hand, its blade shrouded in a crimson blood mist.

“You're seeking death,” Ye Fan barked coldly, pouring spiritual energy into the blade.

The Blood Jade Sword slashed out a bone-chilling red glow, forcibly shattering the pill fire. With undiminished momentum, the sword thrust straight toward Old Ghost Jiang's chest.

Old Ghost Jiang's face changed dramatically. He had not expected this vile creature to be so powerful after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

It seemed he was indeed the one who had killed his granddaughter and the disciple of the Haoran Sect's Sect Master.

Watching the incoming blood sword, he hastily summoned his alchemy furnace to block in front of him.

The furnace flashed with spiritual light, but it sizzled as the blood energy on the Blood Jade Sword corroded it, causing its pill patterns to crack inch by inch.

Seeing this, Old Ghost Jiang panicked. This guy was ridiculously powerful!

Although he was an alchemist and not skilled in combat, his cultivation was still at the suppressed Soul Transformation stage!

Thinking of the miserable way his granddaughter had died, Old Ghost Jiang gritted his teeth. He had to kill this demon today.

He immediately pinched a hand seal and channeled his spiritual energy, preparing to fight to the death.

Ye Fan's eyes flickered, realizing the old fellow was about to risk everything.

Channelling the spiritual energy in his body to its limits, the Blood Jade Sword shone with blinding light.

It then bypassed the alchemy furnace in front of Old Ghost Jiang at a bizarre angle.

With a squelch, it pierced into his shoulder.

A bloodcurdling scream rang out as Old Ghost Jiang's shoulder was turned into a bloody mess.

The murderous intent on the Blood Jade Sword surged wildly into his meridians through the wound, instantly throwing Old Ghost Jiang's spiritual energy into chaos and dispersing it.

His aura deflated instantly.

With bone-chilling murderous intent in his eyes, Ye Fan directly raised his hand to summon back the Blood Jade Sword.

The Blood Jade Sword pierced straight through Old Ghost Jiang's forehead.

Even his primordial spirit, which had been suppressed into a Nascent Soul, was shredded to pieces by the sword.

Anyone who wanted to kill him had to die.

Just as Ye Fan finished off Old Ghost Jiang and collected his storage bag, a sudden sense of danger loomed. Ye Fan's figure blurred as he dodged to the side.

An attack struck empty air, blasting the spot where he had been standing a moment ago.

Then, he heard several whistling sounds cutting through the air.

Over a dozen Nascent Soul-level pressures descended one after another, instantly surrounding him completely.

Zhuifeng, who had been waiting on the side to feast on Old Ghost Jiang's corpse, saw this situation and quickly stood beside Ye Fan, baring his fangs and glaring warily at the newcomers.

Leading them was Sect Master Nie of the Haoran Sect. His face was ice-cold, and his gaze first swept over Old Ghost Jiang's corpse, a cold, murderous intent pooling in his eyes.

“Vile creature, today I shall avenge my disciple!”

As for Old Ghost Jiang's death, the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect didn't actually care. After all, they and the Dingyuan Sect were competitors.

But hearing him speak of revenge, Ye Fan was genuinely curious.

He remembered that when he was this old guy's disciple, he had never heard of his current identity killing any of the Sect Master's disciples!

If anyone had been killed, it was back when he was still Ye Fan of the Haoran Sect, and he had killed two of them himself!

“Sect Master Nie, I don't understand what you are talking about. When did I ever kill your disciple?” Ye Fan couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Ye Fan's question, Sect Master Nie's teeth itched with hatred.

How audacious! He had killed his disciple with a top-grade spiritual root and actually forgotten about it.

That was the future of the Haoran Sect! As expected of a demonic cultivator, killing people like flies.

Seeing Sect Master Nie grow even angrier, Ye Fan was also speechless.

He hadn't realized before that this guy was mentally unstable!

He wouldn't even let him ask... With such a fragile heart, how did he even become a Sect Master?

“Sect Master, why waste your breath on this demonic brat? It is an indisputable fact that he killed Ye Fan.”

Ye Fan, who was originally preparing to flee, suddenly froze upon hearing the words of a nearby elder.

He looked at the group from the Haoran Sect in utter shock.

Please, do you even hear yourselves?

If you said someone else had killed me, I could at least force myself to believe it.

But this claim of yours doesn't have a shred of credibility, okay?

Besides, the real culprit is that damned mortal, alright?

At this thought, Ye Fan's face turned livid with rage.

Damn it! That wretched mortal had not only killed him, but now he was even taking the blame for it.

Seeing Ye Fan's furious expression, Sect Master Nie let out a cold snort.

“Hmph... What? Did you not expect us to find out that you were the one who killed my disciple?”

Ye Fan looked at Sect Master Nie speechlessly, desperately wanting to say: I fucking didn't expect you to be this stupid! Even if you were blind while searching for the killer, you shouldn't have pinned it on me!

However, the words that actually left his mouth were: “Sect Master Nie, I am truly not the one who killed your disciple...”

“Hmph... Demonic brat, stop trying to make excuses. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?” Su Yuheng, who was standing beside Sect Master Nie, barked in anger as soon as Ye Fan spoke.

This demonic brat truly deserved to be hacked into ten thousand pieces. Did he think it was easy for him to finally recruit a disciple with a top-grade spiritual root?

Originally, he had hoped that once Ye Fan made a name for himself, he could ride his coattails and enjoy some of the glory.

But look what happened! Before the kid could even grow, he was killed by this damned demonic brat.

He had no idea how much harder his path would be for the rest of his life.

Ye Fan was utterly speechless. If not for the fact that they outnumbered him, he would have cracked open their skulls to see if they were filled with water.

“Sect Master Nie, let me tell you one more time. I really didn't kill your disciple. It was Lu Ming of the Qingshan Sect who killed your disciple...”

“You're lying! Lu Ming of the Qingshan Sect has an excellent relationship with my Senior Brother Ye Fan. Senior Brother even asked me to take care of Lu Ming...”

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, Su Xin interrupted him with absolute certainty.

Before the Hengduan Mountains secret realm opened, Ye Fan had indeed asked him to take care of Lu Ming.

At this moment, Su Xin was also incredibly furious. To flatter Ye Fan back then, he had given him a lot of his own spirit stones and pills, all to secure a favor before Ye Fan grew powerful.

He had hoped to be taken care of in the future, but who would have thought that because of this damned demonic cultivator, everything had gone down the drain.
