Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 39: The Restraint is Removed. (Second Update!)

The sky was filled with scattered rays of light, and the sky had a deep blue background.

As the You hour draws to an end, a chilly wind begins to blow.

In the yard outside the dilapidated temple, the dead old tree cast a shadow, and Qingli's figure slowly emerged on the tree.

As soon as he returned to reality, he immediately looked towards the temple gate.

The adult in the underworld just now improved her cultivation again. Now she is strong enough to fight against the ghosts of the sixth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]!
The human child's cultivation level is only the second level of Qi training. The most he will have to face is a ghost of the third or fourth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell].

I can beat a hundred of them now!

Thinking of this, Qingli suddenly laughed sinisterly.

The light in the sky in the distance was rapidly fading, the outlines of the distant mountains gradually faded in the paleness, and the sky became completely dark.

At the moment of darkness, the whole town suddenly became hazy, as if there was some restriction that isolated it from the outside world, which disappeared in an instant, leaving the town completely exposed to the night.

The yin energy between heaven and earth suddenly became very strong, the temperature around was dropping rapidly, and crystal points quickly condensed on the tips of the grass.

Qingli immediately turned around and looked towards the town entrance.

She sensed that a large number of ghosts suddenly broke into the town!
and……

Qingli slowly raised her head. The moonlight tonight was like water, and a huge bony hand was floating in the deep blue sky.

The seven fingers of the bony hand were pale and clean, without a trace of flesh and blood on them. When it was opened, it was enough to cover the entire town. Mighty black clouds lingered around it, and the finger bones, which were so pale that they almost glowed, were faintly visible in the black clouds.

Each finger bone is connected to a dense network of black silk threads, like ropes controlling a puppet, scattered all over the town, throughout the entire Changfu Town.

One of the black lines was hanging down in the dilapidated temple where Zheng Que was practicing...

※※※

Hell.

Zheng Que was stunned when he saw the new name appearing on the [Book of Life and Death].

Xu Houde, this is the mayor's name!
The town was not big, and as far as he knew, there was no one in the town with the same name as the mayor, and their ages also matched perfectly.

Did Qingli kill the mayor?

wrong!

Died suddenly at the hour of Xu, there is something wrong with this way of dying!

If Qingli was the one who killed him, the mayor should have been hanged.

Just as he was thinking this, more names continued to appear on the [Book of Life and Death]...

"...Xu Cheng. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: fifty-three years, six months, and one day. Died suddenly at the hour of Xu."

"...Xu Mao. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 25 years and 10 months. Died suddenly at the hour of Xu."

"...Xu Chang. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 17 years, 11 months, and 4 days. Died at the hour of Xu."

"...Xu Xiaobao. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: six years, eight months, and two days. Died at the hour of Xu."

This……

Zheng Que's eyes widened immediately. These were the names of the mayor's family!
The mayor's entire family was killed?
Did some other ghost break into the mayor's house? !

Moreover, the mayor's house is not close to the dilapidated temple. How can it be included in the [Book of Life and Death] at such a long distance?
Before he could think further, the words on the [Book of Life and Death] continued to appear, flowing down in rows like running water.

"…Cui Fugui. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 41 years and 5 days. Died suddenly at the hour of Xu."

"... Cui Ni'er. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 15 years, 3 months, 24 days. Passed away at the hour of Xu." "... Zhao Laoer. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 18 years, 9 months, 16 days. Passed away at the hour of Xu."

Seeing this, Zheng Que frowned immediately. The names of Cui's father and daughter and Zhao Laoer also appeared in the [Book of Life and Death]. Cui's father and daughter and Zhao Laoer were all dead!
What happened? !

The ghost that killed the mayor's family suddenly ran to the Cui family and killed the Cui family father and daughter? Then it teleported to Zhao Laoer's house and killed Zhao Laoer?

Just when he was full of doubts, the names on the [Book of Life and Death] were still increasing rapidly.

"...Zeng Li Niang...died at the hour of Xu."

"...Chi Da...died at the hour of Xu."

"...Chi Ahcheng...died suddenly at the hour of Xu."

"...Yin Cao'er...died at the hour of Xu..."

More and more new names appear in the [Book of Life and Death].

The time of death for all of them was the hour of Xu. Although the manner of death varied according to their age, they were all essentially "sudden deaths"!
Gradually, Zheng Que's face became gloomy.

Changfu Town is not big to begin with, and there are only about a thousand people in this small town.

The current situation seems to be that it is not just a few families that are in trouble, but the whole town is in trouble!

He is from this town too!
His life span ended at the hour of Hai, which was only one hour longer than those who have died now.

There is some irresistible danger that is about to destroy the entire town!
Zheng Que broke out in a cold sweat as he thought of this. He instantly understood the fate he was about to face, and why his master had seemed to know he wouldn't live long when he left...

Perhaps, Master did not see his fate, but saw the disaster that the entire Changfu Town was about to face!

Thinking of this, he stared at the black energy between his eyebrows with anxiety.

He cannot return to reality until the Book of Life and Death absorbs all the negative energy.

Although there is still an hour until the hour of midnight, at this time, it is definitely better to escape from the town as quickly as possible!

He didn't think that such a disaster or ghost that could destroy the entire town could be dealt with by a mere cultivator at the second level of Qi training!
At this time, the names on the [Book of Life and Death] were still increasing rapidly, and the total number of new names had exceeded a hundred!

Fortunately, as the [Book of Life and Death] quickly absorbed the Yin energy, the black energy between his eyebrows became less and less.

Finally, the last wisp of faint black energy was swept away by the [Book of Life and Death].

Zheng Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to return to reality.

As a result, the next moment, a large amount of ink-colored Yin energy burst out from the [Book of Life and Death] in front of him. This Yin energy seemed to have been extraordinarily purified, and it was rich and pure. It surged and swirled in the air like a dragon and snake. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a symbol that looked like an insect and a fish, floating above the scroll, giving off a sense of antiquity and vicissitudes.

This is……

Edict!

Zheng Que's face suddenly changed. The formation of the imperial edict was related to the number of names included in the [Book of Life and Death].

Now that the entire town was in distress, the [Book of Life and Death] suddenly contained enough names for the second decree.

only……

Whether this decree comes sooner or later, it will be a good thing for him.

But at this time!
Just as he was thinking about it, the new decree turned into a black light and sank into his brow.

Just like last time, Zheng Que felt his brain explode instantly, accompanied by severe pain, and his consciousness instantly went blank...
