3rd

After a devastating tragedy befalls his village, Zhang Xiaofan, an ordinary boy, becomes one of only two survivors. Taken in by the righteous Qingyun Sect, he begins to train in the ways of cultivation. However, he struggles due to his lack of talent—until he discovers a demonic artifact, the Sinister Stick, which grants him immense power but threatens to corrupt his soul.
As Zhang Xiaofan grows stronger, he is caught in the conflict between righteous sects and demonic factions, facing betrayal, love, and the temptations of darkness. His journey transforms him from a naive boy into a powerful cultivator known as Ghost Li, walking a path between good and evil as he searches for truth, vengeance, and inner peace.
