Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 245 Finally, an opportunity has arrived! (Second update!)

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que frowned. Of his four ghost servants, two had reached the ninth level of the Tongue-Pulling Prison, one the eighth level, and one the seventh level.

In terms of strength alone, if his four ghost servants joined forces, they would be able to contend with a ghost that had just entered the [Scissors Prison]!
However, the relationship between these four ghost servants was anything but harmonious.

Qing Li, who is at the ninth level of the "Tongue-Pulling Prison," and Shu Yunying, who is at the peak of the ninth level of the "Tongue-Pulling Prison," seize every opportunity to tattle on each other and compete with each other.

Fortunately, Niannu is relatively well-behaved, and Kulan has also become obedient; otherwise, the four ghost servants would be seizing every opportunity to fight each other...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que wasted no time and ignored Shu Yunying's incessant chatter. He directly opened his "command" hand and pointed it at Shu Yunying.

Shu Yunying's body surged with yin energy, and as her skirt fluttered, she immediately began to enhance herself.

But like Ku Lan, Shu Yunying didn't kill any ghosts during this time. Her Highness didn't make any big moves, and her Yin energy only increased slightly before slowly stopping.

This "living dead" is still at the peak of the ninth level of the "Tongue-Pulling Prison".

Zheng Que spoke directly, ordering him to step back.

In the now silent, dilapidated hall, Zheng Que sat back in his limping armchair, gazing at the dark aura between his brows, waiting patiently.

Danqiu Peak, Wanshan Temple, and Heqi Hall.

Room.

After nightfall, the room became like an ice cellar. In addition to being extremely cold, it was almost pitch black due to the lack of any light source.

Zheng Que sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, his body circulating with energy, and he was cultivating.

In the darkness, a faint wind blew through the room, stirring up dust and scattering tattered cobwebs. Qingli and Niannu swung back and forth from the beams. Shu Yunying sat upright in the main seat, as if she were the sole master of the house. Kulan, on the other hand, held a black silk umbrella obediently, staying close to Zheng Que like a dutiful personal maid.

As time passed, Qingli, Niannu, and Shuyunying unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

The woman hanging from the beam stopped swaying, the rhythmic, faint sound of the wind quietly ceased, and Shu Yunying could no longer maintain the demeanor of the eldest daughter of the Shu family. She leaned against the armrest of the chair, her head drooping, and little by little, the silver hairpin in her hair reflected a sharp, cold light, which was particularly conspicuous in the dim room.

Only the withered orchid holding the umbrella, whose species is "Umbrella Woman," seems to have the ability to suppress various abnormal states, and remains conscious.

Feeling the sudden silence in the room, and looking around the entire guest room, seeing that the other three ghost servants had all fallen asleep, Ku Lan excitedly looked at Zheng Que beside her.

Her current cultivation level has reached the eighth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], which is very close to her former peak!

This time, we must thoroughly investigate and punish this evil human cultivator!

Just then, Qingli, who was hanging from the beam, suddenly disappeared without warning.

Kulan quickly stopped what she was doing, realizing that this woman with her head upside down had most likely been summoned by that great being in the underworld.

Soon, Qing Li's vanished figure reappeared in the same spot. Before Ku Lan could even observe the other party's cultivation level, she too disappeared without a trace.

After returning to her room, Qingli immediately regained her senses. She glanced around and saw that Kulan was not there, and Niannu and Shu Yunying were both asleep. She immediately smiled coldly and prepared to go over and slap Shu Yunying a few times to let her know the consequences of offending her, the ghost of destiny!

But then, Kulan returned to the guest room, and Niannu disappeared again.

Qingli immediately stopped what she was doing. In this situation, it seemed that the great being in the underworld was taking turns summoning the human child's ghost servants...

Sure enough, not long after, Niannu returned, her yin energy noticeably increased. Then, Shu Yunying's figure disappeared.

A short while later, Shu Yunying returned again.

The four ghost servants exchanged glances, without exchanging a single word, but three of them were secretly gloating...

Qingli had just complained about Shu Yunying and Kulan, and was waiting for the two ghost servants to be punished.

Shu Yunying had just complained about the other three ghost servants and was waiting for the lord of the underworld to send them to the eighteenth level of hell.

Kulan, however, disdained such petty tricks as complaining. She planned to wait until the other three ghost servants were unconscious, and then, in front of them, she would perform divination on that evil human cultivator...

Only Niannu foolishly observed her surroundings, wholeheartedly protecting Zheng Que.

Time passed slowly, and the room returned to calm.

Because of the "strange" nature of Wanshan Temple, Qingli, Niannu, and Shuyunying once again fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

Seeing this, Ku Lan was very satisfied. She walked directly to Zheng Que, grabbed his collar, and ripped it open...

Sizzle!

Yaotai Mountain.

The night was shrouded in mist, and the sounds of nature blended together in the mountains, creating a lively atmosphere.

The wedding procession, carrying lanterns, meandered along the rugged mountain road.

Suddenly, a figure in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown appeared on the empty palanquin in the procession, with a large red veil covering her head adorned with mandarin ducks playing in the water. It was the ghost bride who had returned to reality.

After he sat back in the sedan chair, he casually glanced around and immediately asked the innkeeper's wife who was walking alongside the sedan chair, "Where is Wanshan Temple?"

Although the ghost bride had been to Yaotai Mountain before, she was not a ghost that had lingered there for many years, and was unfamiliar with many places here.

She is currently tracking the aura of that human cultivator. If the Wanshan Temple that trapped him remains in place, she will naturally be able to find it.

But if this Wanshan Temple is like that "strange" place in Baozhen Valley last time, not only is its location not fixed, but it is also extremely hidden, then she will have a very difficult time finding it.

Although she currently holds a position in the underworld, this position only allows her to perceive the ghosts and "strange things" in the [Tongue-Pulling Hell]. Ghosts and "strange things" above the [Scissors Hell] are not within her jurisdiction.

At this moment, upon hearing the ghost bride's question, the proprietress immediately raised her arm, pointed in the direction of Danqiu Peak, and said, "It should be over there."

The ghost bride nodded slightly, as this aligned with her current direction of travel. She then turned to the eight sedan bearers and coldly ordered, "Speed ​​up!"

"Remember this! Once we arrive at Wanshan Temple, all eight of you, follow me inside to move things. Be quick and efficient!"

"As for the proprietress, she's in charge of taking in the accounts."

"The rest of you, stay outside and keep a close eye on the dressing case. Everyone, keep your eyes wide open and pay attention!"

"Don't let that human cultivator steal your things again!"
