Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 316 You Seem Like a Calamity! (Second Update!)
Thinking of this, Zheng Que felt a chill run down his spine.

Lu Maohong had told him before that the underground of Taiping County was the main location of the Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing and Spirit-Locking Array of the entire Taiping County. This array, created by a master of array formations from the imperial court, suppressed the resentment of all living beings in Taiping County after their deaths!

Over the years, these resentments gradually coalesced into a powerful and treacherous creature.

During their escort of the imperial taxes, a part of the "mysterious" creature escaped from underground and mingled with their caravan.

Back when he was at Wanshan Temple, he had even fought against a part of that "strange" entity...

The current situation is because Lu Maohong fell for that "weird" trick, took the wrong path, and led them back to Taiping County.

Hopefully, the "strange" main body hasn't broken free of its seal yet, otherwise, I'd be in real danger!
In a flash, Zheng Que looked at Mu Xiangu below the hall and quickly said, "He is in Taiping County!"

Without wasting any of Mu Xiangu's travel time, he quickly ordered, "Dismissed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the fog rose again, instantly obscuring the figure in the ivory-yellow dress.

In the underworld space, Zheng Que was suddenly left all alone.

Without hesitation, he immediately turned to the third page of the Book of Life and Death.

However, before he could even utter the ghost bride's name, the black energy emanating from between his brows suddenly twisted and swayed, then broke off from the Book of Life and Death.

Zheng Que was stunned. Before he could figure out what was going on, the surrounding environment changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in reality.

The carriage was lavishly furnished, with thick carpets on the floor. The beaded curtains on both sides swayed violently, making a crisp sound like gold and jade clashing. The carriage doors were thick and sturdy, and they did not budge even when struck with great force.

It was the interior of the "甲" (jia) type vehicle.

"Human brat! Human brat..."

Qingli's slightly anxious voice immediately reached Zheng Que's ears.

Zheng Que suddenly came to his senses, only to find that his body had somehow changed position, and he was now standing behind the door, his hand raised high, uncontrollably pounding on the carriage door, as if trying to escape from the carriage.

At this moment, Qingli's voice rang out again: "The human child has woken up! Niannu, get off him first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in a pink blouse and colorful skirt floated out from Zheng Que's body, a deep purple bruise on her neck—it was Niannu.

Zheng Li immediately felt that he had regained control of his body, but at the same time, a feeling of weakness came over him. It was as if all the strength in his limbs and bones had been drained in an instant, and he could not muster any energy.

He realized that he was in danger and Niannu had used the [Invasion] technique on him to try and save him from this place!

This time, before the Yin energy on his body was completely absorbed by the Book of Life and Death, he suddenly left the underworld. I wonder if it was because he was possessed by Niannu?
In a flash, Zheng Li picked up the summoning banner beside him and asked, "What happened?"

Just as Qingli was about to answer, the entire carriage suddenly began to rapidly rotate.

Zheng Que lost his balance and crashed into the top of the carriage. Immediately afterward, a wave of weightlessness washed over him. He was like a ball, being tossed around inside the carriage like a juggling ball, bumping into the walls, then the backs of the seats, and then being pelted down by a hail of debris...

Ping Pong Pong...

After being rammed many times, Zheng Que finally found an opportunity. He exerted force with both hands and thrust the soul-summoning banner into the gap in the carriage floor, using it as an anchor point to instantly fix his body in place.

But before he could make a further move, the terrifying yin energy solidified into a tangible form, like a billowing black mist, and began to rapidly seep into the carriage. The carriage door, which Niannu had been controlling and struggling to open, now began to rot rapidly. During the decay, faint flashes of runic light appeared and disappeared, clearly offering no resistance; the wooden door could only continue to decay, peel, and pit...

Something extremely terrifying seems about to enter the carriage!
Zheng Que's expression changed drastically, and he immediately used the [Ghost Control Technique] to release the withered orchid from his palm.

A figure dressed in black and wearing a black umbrella appeared not far away, exuding the chilling aura of the [Scissors Prison].

As soon as Ku Lan appeared, she was about to bow to Zheng Que when she suddenly turned her head sharply towards the car door.

"Young Master, run away!"

Ku Lan immediately shouted, while opening the silk umbrella in her hand, clearly sensing the intense danger.

Zheng Que frowned; he wanted to escape too!
But right now, he doesn't even know what the situation is like outside.

More importantly, his cultivation level was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, which was not enough to break through the carriage of this "A"-shaped vehicle!

In a flash, Zheng Que said to Ku Lan, "Quick! Use your Yin Technique [Red Attire]!"

Before Zheng Que could finish speaking, Ku Lan, realizing the urgency of the situation, quickly cast a spell, and her black clothes and black umbrella were instantly stained with blood, transforming into red clothes and a red umbrella.

In the blink of an eye, black turned red, and Ku Lan changed into a blood-red dress. The silk umbrella in her hand also transformed into a bright red blood umbrella.

Unlike when she was at Wanshan Temple, Kulan used this Yin technique very quickly and successfully this time.

After changing into red, Ku Lan's Yin energy intensified, with wisps of black energy constantly emanating from her body. Although it was not as strong as the Ghost Bride at the peak of the [Scissors Prison] or Mu Xian Gu, it was not far off.

click!
At this moment, the continuously rotting car door suddenly broke off, revealing a large area of ​​holes with jagged edges.

A dense mass of human faces, accompanied by a thick, eerie aura, surged into the carriage like a flowing stream.

Outside the car door, a dark eye socket was staring intently into the car.

In an instant, Zheng Que was like a flying insect encased in dripping amber, unable to move his entire body. A strong chill rose from his tailbone, and in the darkness, a huge shadow completely enveloped him.

This is the breath of death!
※※※

Qingrao Prefecture.

Outside the prefectural city, where all formations were activated and a formidable enemy was on high alert, Prefect Xiang Songnian stood in mid-air, looking down solemnly at the ghostly wedding procession below: "...Otherwise, kill without mercy!"

The imposing warning, like rolling thunder, instantly spread far and wide throughout the land.

Upon hearing this, the already extremely agitated ghost bride inside the red sedan chair became furious. She couldn't find Zheng Que's whereabouts, could it be that he was hidden in the prefectural city by the magistrate of Qingrao Prefecture?
The great man of the underworld said that Zheng Que's calamity would begin today.

But what exactly this calamity was, that person did not mention.

She now sees the prefectural magistrate of this city as Zheng Que's calamity!

Thinking of this, the ghost bride didn't say anything more and directly slapped Xiang Songnian through the sedan curtain.

boom! ! !
