Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 101 Are You Willing to Serve the Family? (Third Update!)
Shujiabao.

square.

A high platform stood quietly in the distance, with an empty red incense burner on it.

The mountain wall above is covered with doors and windows, arranged in circles and spirals like shelves.

As soon as Zheng Que appeared here, he felt his eyes blurred. When he came to his senses, he realized that Xiao Yiyang, Fei Yuanhui and the female cultivator in goose yellow clothes who practiced the "corpse-raising" method had all disappeared.

He looked back and found that Nian Nu, who was following him, had also disappeared. It seemed that he was the only one left in the entire square.

Zheng Que frowned and looked forward again, only to find that the scene in front of him suddenly became brighter. He saw oil lamps on the four walls, shining together with candles on the left and right, illuminating the originally dark mountainside with a brilliant scene.

The incense on the high platform was burning brightly, and thick smoke filled the air.

He looked closely and saw a figure obscured by smoke standing in front of the crimson incense burner.

Zheng Que tried to move, and immediately found that he was tied up and kneeling in the hall, unable to move at all.

The spiritual power in his body started to circulate rapidly in an instant, the blood and energy in his body vibrated, and he began to struggle desperately.

However, the ropes that bound him were incredibly strong, and no matter how hard he tried, they showed no sign of loosening or falling off.

Zheng Que saw from the corner of his eye that there were four similar blurry figures kneeling on his left and right sides. From left to right, he was the fourth one.

At this moment, the figure on the platform suddenly uttered a low, angry voice...

"A bunch of trash!"

"…Maintain an army for a thousand days, deploy it for a single moment…"

“…I’ll give you one last chance!”

As soon as the words fell, the figure pointed to the figure kneeling on the far left side of the square and said, "You! Are you willing to serve the family?"

The figure being pointed at didn't hesitate for long and quickly replied, "I am willing to serve the family!"

Hearing this voice, Zheng Que immediately recognized that it was Fei Yuanhui!
The cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training!
The other party should be in the same situation as him now!

I just don't know if this so-called service to the family is to fulfill some last wish of Shujiabao?
At the same time, Fei Yuanhui's answer seemed to satisfy the figure on the platform, and his tone softened considerably: "Very good!"

“…You’re the only one!”

puff!
The figure on the high platform pointed his finger at Fei Yuanhui, and suddenly a condensed black gas shot out, instantly piercing Fei Yuanhui's head.

Fei Yuanhui didn't even have a chance to struggle and fell to the ground.

The vitality around him quickly dissipated, and his figure, which had been blurry just now, became clear immediately after he fell down.

He fell straight to the ground with his eyes wide open. There was a hole the size of a pigeon egg on his forehead, and red and white things were slowly flowing out of the hole. Dark red blood was also oozing from the corners of his mouth, and the light in his eyes quickly faded.

In the blink of an eye, Fei Yuanhui lost all his breath and died on the spot.

Looking at the other party's corpse, Zheng Que's face changed. This so-called service for the family was not a serious struggle for the family, or to fulfill the last wish of Shujiabao, but to enter that magic weapon and serve as a ghost servant for the other party!
If you agree, you will die!

At this time, the figure on the high platform pointed to the second figure from the left in the hall and asked, "You! Are you willing to serve the family?"

Perhaps because Fei Yuanhui died nearby, the figure trembled and hesitated for a long time before finally giving in to the pressure from the figure on the platform and replied tremblingly, "I, I don't want to..."

Hearing this voice, Zheng Que immediately knew that this was the female cultivator in goose yellow robe who practiced the "corpse-raising" method.

There were five figures kneeling here. The first was Fei Yuanhui, the second was the female cultivator in the yellow goose-yellow robe, and he was fourth. Of the remaining two, one should be Xiao Yiyang, and the other must be Nian Nu!
Zheng Que's mind raced as he immediately wanted to ask about Nian Nu's location.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, he found that there seemed to be some force that tightly sealed his mouth, preventing him from making any sound.

It seemed that he could only speak when it was his turn.

puff!
At this moment, just as the female cultivator in the goose yellow shirt finished speaking, a beam of identical condensed black energy swept across and instantly pierced her head.

thump……

The female cultivator in the goose yellow shirt fell to the ground, her breath quickly disappeared, and her figure became clearer. Her death was similar to Fei Yuanhui's. She was lying face down on the ground, and sticky blood quickly seeped out of her head. In the blink of an eye, it gathered into a small pool of blood, staining the goose yellow shirt on her shoulders and arms black.

The figure on the high platform shouted angrily, "You are so afraid of death!"

"Deserting!"

"Such a cowardly person is a waste of the resources of my Shu Family Fort if he lives."

"Join our family's main banner as soon as possible, and you can contribute your last bit to the family!"

Looking at this scene, Zheng Que's heart sank. In the current situation, if he agreed, he would die; if he didn't agree, he would also die!

Then, the figure on the platform pointed his finger at a figure to Zheng Que's left and asked again, "You! Are you willing to serve the family?"

Zheng Que immediately came to his senses.

Next, it will be his turn!

He quickly calmed down and struggled rapidly with his tightly bound hands. After much difficulty, he cut his palms, and spiritual blood wrapped in strong yang energy dripped onto the ropes.

As soon as the spiritual blood touched the rope, the rich yin energy contained in the rope was impacted and turned into a wisp of green smoke that quickly dissipated.

As the Yin energy weakened, Zheng Que felt that the power restraining him had obviously decreased.

He was certain in his heart that as long as the figure on his left could support him a little longer, he would have a chance to break free from his current restraints!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately looked at the figure on his left.

If this figure is Nian Nu, Nian Nu has the ability of Yin Cha, and can block the vague figure on the platform's means the moment he makes a move, and can at least hold out for a few rounds.

If the other party is Xiao Yiyang... Xiao Yiyang is not a simple person!
He is definitely not an ordinary cultivator and will not be killed so easily. He can definitely help him buy enough time!

As his mind raced, the spiritual power in Zheng Que's body began to circulate wildly, his qi and blood surged, and the speed at which the spiritual blood flowed out of the wound increased.

However, at this moment, the figure on his left who was being pointed at finally spoke: "Ah! I'm dead..."

thump……

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure's aura disappeared in an instant, and then he fell straight down like Fei Yuanhui and the female cultivator in the goose yellow shirt.

After falling to the ground, the other person became clearer. He was still wearing a conical hat on his head, with curtains hanging around him, completely blocking his face. His crab-green robe was intact, and there were no visible wounds on his body, but he had no breath at all, as if he had died suddenly.

This is... playing dead?!

Zheng Que was stunned for a moment. Before he could think, a blurry figure on the platform moved his fingers, as if he had already determined that Xiao Yiyang was dead. He jumped directly over the "corpse" on the ground and pointed his finger at Zheng Que: "You! Are you willing to work for the family?"
