In the tomb passage, a dark figure quietly appeared.
"Zhang Lei?" Lin Zhao looked at the figure in surprise and said, "Weren't you with Yin Zheng'an and the others?"
Zhang Fan looked extremely battered. He was holding Li Su in one arm and had Xia Liyi on his back. His clothes were torn, and blood was flowing from his face, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.
"Something happened in the tomb passage," Zhang Fan said in a low voice. "Ango and Shaoming have already been trapped."
With that, Zhang Fan set Li Su down. "This Taoist is almost done for. He's poisoned and injured. Does anyone know how to detoxify? Come take a look."
"I'll do it," Lin Zhao said as he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Li Su.
Li Su's complexion was turning dark, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was also black. There was a noticeable indentation in his chest, indicating that at least one rib had been broken. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so obvious.
"His breath is almost gone," Lin Zhao checked Li Su's nose, while everyone gathered around the injured Li Su. "By the way, Zhang Lei (Zhang Fan's original name), what about Yin Zheng'an and the others now?"
"The tomb passage is toxic," Zhang Fan replied naturally. "My master and Shaoming are barely holding on. He instructed me to see if you should go in, but before I could help, you were already poisoned, making things even more troublesome."
"How can this be?" Earthwalker asked. "There wasn't any poison in the previous tomb passage."
"Who can say for sure?" Zhang Fan replied with a strange smile.
Suddenly, Li Su, lying on the ground, spat out a mouthful of black blood and then opened his eyes.
"Li brother!" Lin Zhao quickly approached with concern, as he had spent the most time with Li Su among those present.
Although Li Su opened his eyes, they were filled with black veins, and his pupils were very dilated.
"Run," Li Su uttered a barely audible syllable.
"What did you say?" Lin Zhao leaned down, bringing his ear close to Li Su's mouth to hear him clearly.
"Poof!" Li Su's hand suddenly transformed into a claw, piercing directly into Lin Zhao's throat.
Lin Zhao was caught off guard by Li Su's sudden attack and was directly stabbed through the throat. Li Su's hand emerged from the back of Lin Zhao's neck, drenched in blood.
"Ugh," Lin Zhao struggled for a moment, his pupils rapidly turning gray-white.
"Captain! (Lin Zhao!)"
Li Su slowly stood up from the ground, his eyes completely filled with blackness.
"What is this? Possessed?" Earthwalker took two steps back in shock and exclaimed, "How could this happen?"
"Kill him!" The two Special Forces members following Lin Zhao raised their guns.
"Roar!!!" Li Su let out an angry roar, and at the same time, three drops of blood shot out from the corner of his mouth, piercing through the hands of the three armed individuals present.
"Ah!!!" The hands of the three Special Forces members were pierced by the blood, causing their firearms to fall to the ground.
"Poison!" Li Ping exclaimed as he watched the hands of the Special Forces members begin to turn black.
The three Special Forces members rolled on the ground. They were all trained soldiers, and if it were just their palms that had been pierced, it shouldn't have caused them this much pain.
However, the presence of the venom multiplied their suffering countless times!
The palms that had been pierced not only began to blacken but also started to rot immediately. The Special Forces members could only watch helplessly as their hands turned into drops of black liquid.
"Haha!" Zhang Fan looked at the three writhing on the ground and suddenly spread his arms wide, laughing, "Yes, this is the feeling! Pain, Hatred, Unwillingness, Fear! This is what I wanted."
"Evil Cultivator?" Li Ping suddenly realized. "Zhang Lei, you are actually an Evil Cultivator?"
"Evil Cultivator?" Zhang Fan looked at Li Ping. "I suppose so, but I'm not just any Evil Cultivator."
"Those people are just able to use Blood Qi to create Evil Energy, haha! It's all a waste! Hatred, pain, and fear are all materials for Evil Energy!"

A sound filled with Wonderful Sound Taoist Arts incantation came from the back of the tomb passage, accompanied by a delicate shout.
"Three-Hearted Fox Fire!"
Following the Wonderful Sound was an Azure Pure Lotus, and following the delicate shout were three clusters of golden flames tinged with pink.
The Pure Lotus slowly split into two parts, one wrapping around Lin Zhao and Li Su, while the other targeted the three Special Forces.
With the arrival of the Pure Lotus, Li Su suddenly collapsed to the ground. In his eyes, the black elements began to fade, and the wounds on the three Special Forces stopped rotting as they were being healed by the Azure Pure Lotus.
The three clusters of golden powder flames headed straight for Zhang Fan. The flames did not spread randomly but seemed to revolve slowly around a center.
Within the flames was a terrifying heat, and a wave of heat made the air around the flames somewhat distorted.
"Hiss!!!" The three clusters of golden powder flames burned a tragic hole in Zhang Fan's back. For some reason, Zhang Fan showed no intention of dodging. If he wasn't afraid of this flame, he wouldn't need to dodge; however, it was clear that the flames were already effective!
"Shaoming, quickly extinguish the flames!" I suddenly shouted loudly.
Shaoming formed a Spell Seal in front of his chest: "Collect!"
The flames on Zhang Fan's back were extinguished.
"You are not Zhang Fan," I said to 'Zhang Fan.' "Who are you? Ghost Fangzi? Or one of his subordinates?"
Hearing the name 'Ghost Fangzi,' 'Zhang Fan' trembled: "I didn't expect you to have already reached four paths. I thought I could hide it for a while longer. I sensed that dead blind man's aura just now."
It seems my guess was not wrong; Zhang Fan must have been controlled by Ghost Fangzi.
Evil Cultivator has many methods to control people, but all techniques ultimately stem from a few fundamental approaches.
One method is controlling corpses, which is quite simple and commonly practiced by most Evil Cultivators. It merely involves a clever manipulation of Evil Energy and Blood Qi.
Then there is the control of living individuals, which is more challenging. After all, if Evil Energy is excessively infused, it can cause the target to become possessed and go insane. A mad person cannot be controlled.
Another method is imprinting, which is a more advanced technique. The controlled individual retains their own consciousness but must obey the commands of the one who has imprinted them.
However, judging by Zhang Fan's current state, none of these methods seem to apply.
Zhang Fan retains his own voice and form; it is just his thoughts that have been transformed into those of Ghost Fangzi.
This resembles a form of possession, but I can be certain it is not. From the way Ghost Fangzi reacted when the flames burned Zhang Fan, it was clear.
Ghost Fangzi did not feel pain! This means he controls only Zhang Fan's thoughts; it is still Zhang Fan who endures the suffering!
“Shaoming, listen, we cannot harm that body; it is still Zhang Fan,” I said.
This situation is more troublesome than I imagined! If Zhang Fan were truly Ghost Fangzi, we could attack without restraint and simply shatter him. But now, Zhang Fan appears to be under control without having lost himself. Therefore, if we want to save Zhang Fan, we must not damage his **!
“We need to find a way to separate Ghost Fangzi from him,” I thought.
Just like when Lin Miaomiao was entangled by the Hungry Ghost, her body remained hers. We cannot strike hard against Zhang Fan's body; we must first extract Ghost Fangzi. However, Ghost Fangzi is not like the Hungry Ghost. I could easily use a simple soul summoning technique to remove the latter, but Ghost Fangzi has likely practiced for many years as a powerful Evil Cultivator. Can my rudimentary Soul Summoning Technique handle him?
“Ha ha!” ‘Zhang Fan’ laughed with his head thrown back. “Yin Zheng'an, come on! Attack your companion! Kill him! If you kill him, I will be free!”
“Master,” Shaoming looked at me with concern. “What should we do?”
“You should step back,” I replied. Since Shaoming has not yet mastered his powers, he might accidentally injure someone. “Go to Lin Zhao, use your demonic energy to help him breathe.”
Lin Zhao's throat was pierced by Li Su, making it difficult for him to breathe. As for those few Special Forces, with my Pure Lotus, they should be able to hold on for quite some time.
But Li Su probably won't last much longer.
To avoid hurting Zhang Fan's **, Flying Sword definitely cannot be used. Fortunately, Taiji Diagram hasn't been used yet. With this move, controlling Zhang Fan shouldn't be difficult.
However, I can't just foolishly use Taiji Diagram directly, right? Yes, it must be used when he least expects it!
Azure Lotus Flame enveloped myself, after all, the opponent might use poison, so I have to be cautious.
“Ghost Fangzi, what did you escape from the Sea of Blood for?” I probed Ghost Fangzi with my words.
“Caw Caw, I am Black Wuchang. Don't you know?” Zhang Fan looked at me with a strange expression.
“After staying under the Sea of Blood for so many years, haven't you realized anything?”
“Sea of Blood? Ha ha? That's just a joke!”
It was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who suppressed Ghost Fangzi in the Sea of Blood. It seems that this method has had no effect at all. For a ruthless person like him, expecting him to awaken on his own cannot be resolved by mere suppression.
So, how can we make these people suddenly realize? Is it only by scaring them out of their wits that we can achieve true liberation?
