Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 129 The Seal is Broken. (First Update!)

Zheng Que was slightly taken aback. The blood mark of the [Ghost Control Technique] on the tall ghost had been removed by the main soul in the ghost cellar, and it was no longer his ghost servant.

However, the fact that the other party came to deliver the message shows a willingness to reform...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que quickly came to his senses. The tall ghost's strength was at the sixth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. To be called a very powerful human cultivator by him, he must definitely be at least at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Among the cultivators who entered Shu Family Fort this time, only two met the requirements.

Among them, Jia Bin, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, had already become an "oddball," leaving only Xiao Yiyang!

It seems that Xiao Yiyang has also discovered the secret of the main soul of the Soul-Summoning Banner. Judging from his current posture, he is most likely preparing to help the main soul in the Ghost Cellar to compete for the true position of the main soul.

We need to speed things up!
In a flash, Zheng Que immediately asked Ku Lan beside him, "Where is Qing Li now?"

Ku Lan closed her eyes, quickly sensed the surroundings, and immediately opened them, saying, "Young Master, that rebellious female ghost is deep underground."

As she spoke, she pointed to the doorway engraved with a pickaxe.

Qingli chased after the Jia siblings into the underground mine.

Zheng Que frowned, then asked, "Is the other main soul also in the underground mine?"

Kulan quickly replied, "Not here."

"Over there in the underground mines, there are no ghosts with higher cultivation levels than that rebellious female ghost."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que felt reassured, but quickly realized something and immediately shook his head slightly. The original owner's soul in the Ghost Cellar had reached the [Scissors Prison] level of cultivation before being sealed.

If the main soul refined by the Shu family is also [Scissors Prison], Ku Lan, with her current Yin position, would not be able to sense it.

Just then, Ku Lan pointed to the door with the crossed ghost hand pattern and said with great certainty, "Young Master, the other main soul is over there!"

Zheng Que was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, but quickly realized that the main soul refined by the Shu family had not yet reached the [Scissors Prison].

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Kulan, come with me to the Ghost Fighting Arena."

"Send Niannu to the underground mine to find Qingli. Once you find her, order Qingli to go to the Ghost Fighting Arena and meet me there."

"As for this ghost at the sixth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], tell it to go back to the Ghost Cellar first and try to delay that cultivator as much as possible."

Ku Lan immediately nodded: "Yes, young master."

Then, she turned to Niannu and the tall ghost and repeated Zheng Que's order.

Niannu immediately obeyed the order and entered the portal marked with a pickaxe.

The tall ghost obediently bowed and took his leave, returning to the ghost cellar.

The small round hall was empty for a moment. Zheng Que didn't delay any longer, took Ku Lan with him, and quickly headed towards the Ghost Fighting Arena.

The passageway leading to the fighting arena descends roughly downwards and is more damp and dark than the passageway leading to the living quarters. There seem to be sounds of snakes and insects crawling in the crevices, making it quite eerie.

Zheng Que remained on high alert the entire way, and after some time, the exit finally appeared ahead.

The door was half-closed, revealing the empty stands outside.

The lotus-shaped depression below the stands is as deep and secluded as a pool, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

Time was of the essence, so Zheng Que immediately instructed Ku Lan to push open the door. After waiting for a moment and finding no danger, he led Ku Lan inside.

As soon as Zheng Que appeared in the stands, his vision blurred, and he saw that the once empty stands had instantly become a sea of ​​people, filled with spectators of all ages.

The onlookers seemed completely oblivious to Zheng Que's arrival, all watching with great interest the shouts and cries of battle echoing from the lotus-shaped depression, occasionally offering their opinions: "This monster is something else! It's already killed five!"

"Damn it, I just placed a bet..." "Third sister, which one are you betting on... I only have one spirit stone left in my monthly allowance..."

Amidst the commotion, Zheng Que spotted a young girl in a dark black dress with silver floral patterns on the opposite side of the lotus-shaped depression in the stands.

The girl's black hair was tied up high, with a smooth, unadorned lotus-shaped silver hairpin inserted diagonally into her bun. The hairpin was about the size of a pigeon egg, and even in the dim light, it was as clear as water, reflecting a cool, shimmering light.

His sideburns were slightly disheveled and fell messily over his cheeks. His face was not clearly visible in the backlight, but his eyes seemed sharp as knives, filled with intense resentment and murderous intent.

Upon seeing the girl with her hair in a high bun, Zheng Que's heart stirred instantly. He instinctively knew that this was the main soul he was looking for!

Unlike the previous instances where she directly attacked, this girl with her hair in a high bun, upon seeing Zheng Que, showed a clear hint of doubt on her originally malicious face, and the resentment in her eyes subsided considerably.

At this moment, Zheng Que also came to his senses, immediately stepped forward, stared at the girl with the high bun, and said loudly, "The original main soul of the Soul-Summoning Banner has been sealed by the patriarch!"

"I have come on the orders of the patriarch to assist you in taking control of the Soul-Summoning Banner!"

Upon hearing this, the girl with her hair in a high bun immediately stood up from her seat, looked at Zheng Que, opened her mouth, and uttered a very awkward voice: "This... young lady... has taken over... the Soul-Summoning Banner?"

"I'm not dead yet, how can I take over the Soul-Summoning Banner?"

Zheng Que was stunned. This main soul, refined by the Shu family, was unaware that it had become a ghost.

Before he could think further, the girl with her hair in a high bun seemed to suddenly understand something, and spoke again, uttering a hesitant voice: "This young lady understands."

"The patriarch sent you here to take charge of the Soul-Summoning Banner!"

"In that case, rest assured, this young lady will certainly obey the patriarch's orders and help your departed soul become the new main soul of the Soul-Summoning Banner!"

"Next, don't resist, or I'll come and rip your brain out right away."

"It hurts a little, but it'll be over soon..."

???

Zheng Que was puzzled and hadn't figured out how to answer when the girl with her hair in a high bun suddenly appeared beside him. With a flick of her wide sleeves, her slender, white hands opened like claws and reached down to grab his head!

Shujiabao.

Ghost cellar.

Inside the stone chamber.

"...He gave me the power to break the seal!"

The power to break the seal?
Xiao Yiyang's expression changed. Had Zheng Que gone mad?!
In a flash, without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled.

clack clack...

Just then, the chains binding [Dream Weaver] cracked with a series of popping sounds, and broke in an instant!

The fence made of Crimson Blood Ore was also easily broken by Dreamweaver's bare hands.

On the ragged body of the cultivator, cracks appeared like those on burnt porcelain, and blood gushed out instantly, splattering the room.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

【Dream Weaver】 had dark green eyes and was breathing heavily. Each breath turned into a mighty gust of soul wind, echoing throughout the stone chamber like a plow sweeping through a cave.

Xiao Yiyang tried desperately to escape, but soon discovered that no matter how fast he sped up, he could not get close to the stone door.

He was extremely anxious, for this "strange" yin energy had already assimilated the surrounding environment!
Once the other party truly breaks free from the seal, he too will be assimilated!
