Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 134 You're welcome. (Third update!)

Shujiabao.

Ghost cellar.

Inside the stone chamber.

In the empty stone chamber, Xiao Yiyang's flesh and bones were scattered all over the ground.

As time passed, these remains of flesh and blood suddenly began to change rapidly, turning into scraps of paper scattered all over the ground.

Each fragment was stained with dark red blood.

Just then, a figure slowly walked out from the side, wearing a crab-shell blue robe and a bronze mask on his face. It was Xiao Yiyang.

Having confirmed that the main soul had departed, Xiao Yiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the paper doll substitute was used in time, otherwise he would have been dead!

Of course, this was also because the main soul didn't take him seriously; otherwise, if the other party had stayed any longer, he would still have been at risk of being assimilated.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yiyang quickly took out a compass made of brass and bone.

The compass was about a foot in diameter and emitted a faint aura of spiritual energy and yin energy.

Xiao Yiyang cast a spell, and the compass needle spun violently, quickly pointing to a direction.

Tap...tap...tap...

Following the compass's directions, Xiao Yiyang wandered through the cramped stone chamber, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, for a while before finally pushing open the stone door and entering the ghost cellar.

The ghost cellar was completely silent. The bones and flesh on the ground showed signs of drying out, and the stench of blood was mixed with a faint stench.

Xiao Yiyang glanced around, but didn't linger. He continued walking outwards following the compass's directions.

Soon, he left the ghost cellar and entered the passageway he had come from.

Throughout the journey, Xiao Yiyang proceeded with extreme caution and prudence, while simultaneously analyzing his current predicament.

The original master's soul has broken free of the seal and should now be vying for the position of master soul.

As for the new master soul refined by the Shu family, it has most likely already gained the support of Zheng Que.

Without the assistance of the main soul, even if he found the soul-summoning banner, he could not approach it at will.

Under normal circumstances, he is no longer qualified to compete for the Soul-Summoning Banner...

However, he is a disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, so as long as things haven't reached the final stage, there is still a chance!
As he pondered, a doorway appeared ahead in the passageway. Xiao Yiyang pushed the door open and entered the small round hall.

As soon as he stepped into the small round hall, he saw a tall figure striding out from the portal leading to the ancestral hall. The figure carried a long sword on his back, with a calm expression and deep, unfathomable eyes.

Jia Bin?

Xiao Yiyang was slightly taken aback when he saw the newcomer's face, but he quickly recovered.

wrong!

It's the soul of that former master!

Xiao Yiyang's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to make a move, another figure emerged from behind the mine's gate. She was dressed in a pink blouse and colorful skirt, and looked very lifelike, but her neck had bruises from a strangulation.

Xiao Yiyang immediately recognized that this was one of Zheng Que's three ghost servants!

Immediately afterward, the doors of the arena were flung open, revealing two figures. The leader was a young woman with a high bun, dressed in a dark black dress with silver patterns. She was tightly gripping another figure, whose outline appeared to be male. This figure was lying on the ground, seemingly unable to keep up with the young woman's speed, being dragged along. The reason it was described as "appearing to be male" was because the figure was like a wet painting, blurry and indistinct.

Not long after those two figures emerged, another figure with a red umbrella and red clothes emerged rapidly from the passageway – it was Ku Lan.

In an instant, six figures with considerable auras gathered in this not-so-spacious small round hall.

At this moment, Zheng Que finally took advantage of the moment when the girl with the high bun stopped walking, quickly got up from the ground, looked around, and his gaze immediately fell on "Jia Bin".

Niannu had told him before that the Jia siblings had become "strange," and this "Jia Bin" was not the real Jia Bin!

However, his [Spiritual Eye Technique] could not detect any flaws.

Just as he was thinking this, "Jia Bin," whose gaze had been fixed on the girl with her hair in a high bun, suddenly opened his mouth and asked with some doubt, "Wasn't it you who entered the Soul-Summoning Banner just now?"

However, the girl with her hair in a high bun showed no intention of answering, only exuding murderous intent as she roared, "Outsiders, kill!!!"

Before he finished speaking, the yin energy surrounding him surged and condensed into a giant ghostly hand, which grabbed heavily at "Jia Bin".

Without hesitation, Jia Bin opened his mouth and spat out three bloody skull fragments.

These three bloody skulls were the very magic that Jia Bin had once mastered.

However, compared to the power that Jia Bin displayed when he used it, the effect of [Dream Weaver] was a surge of yin energy and an imposing aura.

Three bloody skulls shot out, heading straight for the giant ghostly hand.

boom! ! !
With a deafening roar, the two powerful yin energies slowly separated after a solid collision, and sand and gravel fell from the small round hall, sending countless grains of sand flying into the air.

Immediately afterward, [Dream Weaver] waved his hand, and a large group of diverse figures suddenly rushed in from the direction of the entrance hall: Liang Yao in a peach-red shirt, Ji Mingjia in black, Wu Rushou, Li Li'an... These were most of the rogue cultivators who had entered Shu Family Fort during the day!

These rogue cultivators entered without the slightest hesitation and went straight for the girl with the high bun.

The girl with her hair in high bun coldly watched this scene, pulled Zheng Que behind her, and at the same time cast a spell. Around her feet, figures appeared one after another. Most of these figures wore similar clothes and had similar eyebrows and eyes, and it was clear that they were related by blood in life. Zheng Que saw the appearance of many members of the Shu Family Fortress in their living quarters.

The next moment, the outsiders and the disciples of Shujiabao immediately clashed.

bang bang bang...

Boom boom boom...

Looking at the scene before him, Zheng Que immediately understood that "Jia Bin" was the main soul in the ghost cellar!

The other party can transform into the appearance of other cultivators!
Seeing the two main souls, the old and the new, directly engage in battle, Zheng Que immediately retreated to Ku Lan's side. Just as he was about to call Ku Lan to help, Nian Nu, who was not far away, also ran over and asked Ku Lan, "Where is the master? Master Qing Li is trapped inside a black banner and can't get out. She needs the master to come and help."

Is Qingli trapped inside the black banner?
what's the situation?
Zheng Que was startled. In that instant of distraction, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away: "Break!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a talisman landed on Zheng Que.

The hazy, indistinct feeling that Zheng Que had been exposing quickly dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, his figure became clear as usual.

He froze, then turned to look at Xiao Yiyang.

Xiao Yiyang immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, you have been maintaining your identity as a member of the Shu Family Fortress, which puts you at risk of being assimilated by the 'strange' beings."

"I have already helped you break free from the assimilation of the 'weirdness,' you're welcome!"

As he spoke, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the living quarters!
