Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 106 The Main Soul. (Second Update!)

half?
Li Lian and the others were confused. In this urgent situation, the middle-aged cultivator in the brown robe didn't have time to think and quickly said, "Senior, the ghosts in the Ghost Cellar are about to break in. Since you are from Shu Family Fortress, please think of a way quickly!"

At this moment, the others also realized what was happening and hurriedly added, "That's right! Since you are from Shu Family Fort, you must know how to control the ghosts in the Ghost Cellar."

"Please, senior, take action immediately!"

"The fact that you've survived here so long means you must know how to deal with the ghosts here..."

In their anxiety, everyone started talking at once, eagerly hoping that the monk locked behind the fence could offer some way to resolve the crisis.

However, the locked-up cultivator showed no intention of answering the crowd's questions, and simply said unhurriedly, "Fifteen years ago, an outsider brought a soul-summoning banner to Shu Family Fortress..."

Soul-calling flag?
Is it the magical artifact from Shujiabao?
Li Li'an and the others were taken aback, and then their expressions became somewhat uncontrollable.

Originally, these cultivators who chose to come to the Ghost Cellar didn't have high hopes for the opportunities at Shu Family Fortress. They hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder some benefits and earn those thirty spirit stones from the Jia siblings.

With that ghost in the haunted cellar at any moment, they have no time to think about what kind of magical artifact it is.
However, the locked-up cultivator ignored them completely and continued, "But, the Shu Family Fortress doesn't have any Foundation Establishment cultivators; they can't control this Soul-Summoning Banner..."

"Ever since that soul-summoning banner arrived in the fortress, many strange things have happened there..."

"At first, it was the ghost servants of the clan's cultivators who repeatedly lost control..."

"Then the minds of the cultivators in the clan were affected, and they were prone to demonic possession. They began to lose the distinction between day and night, and started to mistake yin energy for spiritual energy and spiritual energy for yin energy..."

"Shujiabao gradually descended into chaos."

"The patriarch, Shu Guizhi, then came up with an unconventional method to control the soul-summoning banner..."

"This method involves drawing out the original main soul from the banner, sealing and suppressing it using a secret technique, and then using the bloodline of the Shu family disciples to refine a new main soul to enter it..."

"By controlling this new main soul, the Shu family fortress will essentially control the Soul-Summoning Banner..."

"But it's a pity..."

"Shujiabao's plan has only succeeded halfway..."

Boom boom boom...

A muffled sound came from outside the stone gate, accompanied by a strong sense of yin energy seeping in. The movements of the ghosts outside grew closer and closer. With the crisp sound of the [Yin Vessel] hitting the ground, it seemed that in addition to the tall ghost that Wu Rushou had released at the beginning, other ghosts had also been released and joined the hunt for the living.

Li Li'an and the others paled upon sensing the commotion outside.

Seeing that the cultivator inside the fence was still talking incessantly, Li Lian quickly took out a long knife, reached through the gap in the fence, and pressed it against the locked cultivator's throat, shouting anxiously, "Speak quickly! How can I control the ghosts in the Ghost Cellar!"

The locked-up cultivator ignored Li Lian and suddenly asked, "Do you know why Shu Family Fort ultimately failed?"

Seeing that the locked-up cultivator was not cooperating at all, the middle-aged cultivator in the brown robe snatched the knife from Li Lian'an's hand and stabbed it directly into the locked-up cultivator's thigh.

Puff puff……

The middle-aged cultivator in the brown robe swiftly stabbed the man three times in quick succession. Blood gushed from the man's thigh, soaking his tattered clothes and trickling onto the ground.

The stench of blood quickly filled the cramped room.

The middle-aged cultivator in the brown robe didn't stop there. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of his blade pointed at the left eye of the chained cultivator, and he roared with a ferocious expression, "If you don't talk, I'll kill you first!" The chained cultivator suddenly let out an extremely joyful yet strange laugh: "Hahahaha..."

Amidst the laughter, there was no trace of pain or endurance. Instead, the intricate runes etched on his body rapidly emitted chaotic, faint lights, which flickered erratically before slowly fading away.

It seemed that the three strikes from the middle-aged monk in the brown robe had destroyed the effectiveness of these runes.

The locked-up cultivator continued in a hoarse voice, "Because Shu Family Fort believed that the main soul of the Soul-Summoning Banner was a 'mysterious' creature."

"But in reality, it was a 'weird'!"

"When Shu Guizhi sealed this 'strange thing,' he was already assimilated by it."

"And now, even this seal is no longer intact!"

At this point, the locked-up cultivator suddenly stopped smiling, and his body emanated a dense, almost tangible, yin energy.

call……

The next moment, he opened his mouth and gently blew out a breath.

The locked-up cultivator didn't seem to make any move, but the moment he uttered that breath, it transformed into an extremely cold and eerie wind that swept towards Li Lian and the others.

This eerie wind, as if alive, seemed to find any gap and burrow into one's bones.

As the cold wind swept through, Li Li'an and the others shivered instantly, feeling an indescribable chill.

Before they could react, the ghost servants beside them instantly turned against them and attacked their masters.

puff! !

The middle-aged cultivator in the brown robe was struck heavily on the head by his ghost servant. He fell to the ground without uttering a sound, his skull fractured, blood flowing from his seven orifices. He twitched only once before his breath ceased and he died on the spot.

Another cultivator in brocade robes resisted for a moment, but was also killed by his own ghost servant in despair. Covered in blood, he slowly fell to the ground, extremely unwilling.

In an instant, blood flowed freely in this not-so-spacious space, and death filled the air.

In the chaos, only Li Lian managed to dodge the sneak attack from his ghost servant by turning to the side.

Of course, this is not because Li Lian'an is stronger than other Qi Refining Level 4 cultivators, but because his woodcutter ghost has become extremely weak since he was redeemed from the Merit Department last time, and his strength is far inferior to that of other ghost servants!
However, despite escaping with his life, Li Li'an's face was still bloodless. The cultivators who had fled into the stone gate with him were almost all wiped out in an instant!
Now he's all alone. Not to mention the sixth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell] outside, he can't even handle these few out-of-control fourth level [Tongue-Pulling Hell] ghosts around him!

At this moment, the monk locked behind the fence spoke again in a hoarse voice: "Too few!"

"not enough!"

"Far from enough!"

"Bring me more living people..."

"I can make you a banner slave!"
