Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 326 The Nine Netherworld Treasures. (Third update!)

In an instant, the Yin energy surged into her body, and all of Gao Yinxia's true essence was frozen in the blink of an eye, like a stream encountering winter!

As she felt her usual power dissipate, she felt as if she had returned to her mortal state. She was shocked and turned her head to see a figure in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes standing almost next to her. The pale, slender hand was firmly gripping her wrist, and the bone-chilling cold was still continuously invading her body.

It's that ghost bride from last time!

The opponent's cultivation level... [Iron Tree Prison]?!

At the same time, the ghost bride arrived. Zheng Que was overjoyed and quickly said, "Luo Fuyu, this place is dangerous. Take me away from here immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the ghost bride immediately looked towards Taiping County. She saw that above Taiping County, Mo Yu and the ghost hand formed by floating human faces and skulls were locked in fierce battle, with sand and stones flying everywhere and the sky and earth losing their color.

In the outskirts of the city, a piece of wood, barely an inch long, floated in mid-air, surrounded by a dense swarm of ghostly creatures that were rushing toward it one after another.

However, all the ghosts that touched the broken wood had their yin energy instantly absorbed and then vanished into thin air.

Even so, the other ghosts seemed oblivious to their companions' fate or completely indifferent to it, and still rushed forward eagerly.

When their gaze fell upon that seemingly ordinary piece of broken wood, a strong longing also surfaced in the eyes of the ghost bride beneath her veil.

But she quickly realized something was wrong, immediately looked away, and said in a low voice, "It's not yet Hai Shi (9-11 PM), so it doesn't matter where you go now!"

"If the root of your calamity is not eliminated, you will still die when the time comes!"

"Hopefully it's that 'mysterious' creature from the [Iron Tree Prison]..."

Before she finished speaking, the ghost bride threw Gao Yinxia at Zheng Que's feet, and then flashed away to join the battle in the sky above Taiping County.

Boom boom boom...

A series of deafening roars echoed, and the sky above Taiping County seemed to split into three parts. One part was like a cloud of ink, suspended in the air, constantly spewing ink-colored raindrops that corroded everything into ink. Another part was a surging sea of ​​blood, in which various corpses and bones were occasionally exposed, churning and swirling with overwhelming force. The last part was filled with countless mayfly-like human-faced "vengeful spirits" that crisscrossed the sky, accompanied by ghostly hands formed from skulls that wreaked havoc in all directions.

In an instant, the already fierce battle over Taiping County escalated once again.

Seeing that the ghost bride had also joined the battle, Zheng Que frowned slightly. The other party left as soon as she finished speaking, too fast, without giving him a chance to ask questions.

If the other party is not confident in dealing with that "weird" creature, he can use the advanced decree between his eyebrows to grant the other party another title.

But now... hopefully Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu can join forces and truly defeat that "weird" creature.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que looked at Gao Yinxia, ​​who was lying on the ground without saying a word.

Previously, when the Ghost Bride's cultivation was only at the peak of the [Scissors Prison], Gao Yinxia had escaped from the Ghost Bride's grasp twice.

But now, the Ghost Bride's cultivation has reached the [Iron Tree Prison] level, and Gao Yinxia can't even withstand a single move from the Ghost Bride!
From the peak of [Scissors Prison] to [Iron Tree Prison], there may seem to be only a thin line between them, but in reality, the strength between the two is as different as heaven and earth!
At this moment, Gao Yinxia lay motionless on the ground, presumably having been subjected to some kind of magic by the ghost bride, but just in case...

In a flash, Zheng Que immediately said to the banner of the summoning spirit, "Qingli, hang her up first!"

From within the banner, a cold snort came from Qing Li.

The next moment, a rough hemp rope appeared around Gao Yinxia's neck.

Gao Yinxia's true energy was sealed, rendering her completely powerless to resist. She could only watch helplessly as the rope tightened around her neck, strangling her throat. At this moment, Zheng Que strode up the hillside, grabbed the other end of the rope, and began deftly binding Gao Yinxia's hands and feet while instructing Qing Li, "Make the rope longer, longer..."

He quickly tied Gao Yinxia up tightly, the rough hemp rope crossing over her neck, wrapping around her waist, and then spiraling down her legs before finally knotting behind her back.

Gao Yinxia was forced to kneel on the ground in a duck-like position. Because the ropes were tightened too much, her slender figure was fully revealed.

This rope was formed from Qing Li's innate talent. Even if Gao Yinxia still possessed cultivation, once caught in it, breaking free wouldn't be easy, let alone given her current state...

Of course, maintaining the strength of this hemp rope will continuously deplete Qingli's yin energy.

But for Qingli, who had already entered the [Scissors Prison], this bit of yin energy was nothing.

After carefully inspecting the rope and confirming that Gao Yinxia posed no further threat, Zheng Que squatted down beside her and immediately asked, "What is the [Nine Netherworld Treasures]?"

He has many questions to ask, such as: Why is the other party hunting him down?

If the Soul-Summoning Banner was crafted by the Heavenly Artifact Sect, why would it appear in Shu Family Fortress?

Also, what is the purpose of that talisman they just took out...?

However, he could ask these questions anytime, but now he was more eager to know what was going on with that piece of wood.
He was certain that the piece of wood belonged to the underworld!
If he could, he would very much like to possess it!
But all the ghosts that touched that piece of wood had their yin energy drained, so he dared not risk taking it now...

Upon hearing this, Gao Yinxia's face darkened, and she ignored him, turning her face away.

Seeing this, Zheng Que didn't mince words and said bluntly, "Now, you either answer my questions honestly, or you can become a guest inside my soul-summoning banner!"

"Don't think that just because you refuse to tell me, I won't get an answer."

"I have a special way to make you answer my questions even after you're dead!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yinxia snorted coldly, but did not continue to argue. She immediately replied firmly, "I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How would I know what the [Nine Netherworld Relics] are?"

"I heard the name 'Nine Netherworld Treasures' from my master."

"Since you know about Daoist Qu, why don't you know about the [Nine Netherworld Treasures]?"

Qu Daoren?!

It’s Master!
Zheng Que's expression changed slightly. He had not mentioned his master's name to Gao Yinxia. How did she know about it?

Thinking of this, Zheng Que hurriedly asked again, "Master Qu, what is your connection with the [Nine Netherworld Treasures]?"

Gao Yinxia answered quickly this time: "Master Qu has obtained a special [Nine Netherworld Treasure] and wants to establish the seventh sect in this region!"

"This matter is no secret to the six sects of us."

"Since you've heard of Master Qu's name, why don't you even know this?"
