Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 402 The mistake was exposed! (Third update!)
As Zheng Que was about to intimidate Xue Shuangzi as part of the procedure, his expression suddenly froze. He looked closely and saw a very familiar red rope wrapped around Xue Shuangzi's left wrist.

The other end of the red rope disappeared into the void.

This……

what's the situation? !

Zheng Que was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized something was wrong.

This is his third marriage line!

However, after Mu Xiangu photographed this "evil spirit," this was the first time he had seen Xue Shuangzi. When did he become involved with her?

Moreover, he had just cultivated with Gao Yinxia, ​​so this third marriage thread should be connected to Gao Yinxia, ​​how come it's not now...

As he pondered, Zheng Que quickly came up with a possibility.

Could Gao Yinxia, ​​who was cultivating with me just now, be an imposter?!

Mu Xiangu possesses the ghost skill [Refining and Transforming into Skin] and the species talent [Disguising as a Shadow].

She could completely disguise Xue Shuangzi as Gao Yinxia without him noticing.

Yes, the one he was cultivating with just now might not have been Gao Yinxia at all, but Xue Shuangzi in front of him!

Even Gao Yinxia, ​​who cultivated with him last time, might be a fake.

He had never suspected Mu Xiangu before because he couldn't fathom the reason why she would do such a thing.

But now... his "law" allows him to see the threads of fate that only he can perceive, and he immediately sees through Mu Xiangu's [disguise]!
"No wonder that both times Gao Yinxia and I cultivated together, we inexplicably ended up in the underworld."

"It turns out they were all female ghosts in disguise!"

"This time, it's Xue Shuangzi."

"Then last time..."

"The last auction hadn't even started yet, so it definitely wasn't Xue Shuangzi, it was Mu Xiangu herself?"

"It should be right. Last time, Mu Xiangu deliberately made an excuse to leave, letting me meet Gao Yinxia alone..."

Thinking of this, Zheng Que quickly regained his composure.

After all, whether I cultivate with Mu Xiangu or Xue Shuangzi, I won't lose out!
The only question now is, is the real Gao Yinxia in seclusion in this Flower Path Cave, or has something happened to her?

With this thought in mind, Zheng Que immediately shouted, "You audacious brat! You have no virtue or merit, what face do you have to occupy the position of a messenger in the underworld?!"

"Confess immediately! Who bestowed this title upon you?"

His voice was like a cascading torrent of water, crashing and surging with overwhelming force, shaking the entire palace.

Xue Shuangzi, who was kneeling below the hall, was suddenly shaken to her core, and even her soul was unstable. She was terrified, feeling that if the voice were just a little louder, it could shatter her soul!
Such terrifying power is far beyond what the Iron Tree Prison can compare to! Nor can it be compared to the Mirror of Retribution...

In fact, all the powerful people she had ever met combined did not match the power of a single word uttered by this person!
This...this is the great person Mu Xiangu was talking about?

Is this what the underworld used to be?!
After the extreme fear subsided, Xue Shuangzi felt a surge of joy!
Very good!
Fantastic!

I knew I hadn't come to the wrong place!

After a long while, Xue Shuangzi finally came to her senses. She was incredibly excited, but her voice still trembled with fear and stuttered uncontrollably: "It's...it's Mu Xiangu, the Soul Reaper..."

"The master has something to do and sends the lowly devil, so... so..."

Impersonating the human female cultivator named "Gao Yinxia" and acting as the Daoist partner of the human cultivator named "Zheng Que" must be a very important official task!

Zheng Que remained calm, observing the trembling figures below. Feeling that the time was right, he spoke again: "Mu Xiangu is a Soul Reaper, and is indeed carrying out a mission assigned to me."

"Since that's the case, I'll spare you this time." "As a messenger of the underworld, from this day forward you must abide by the laws of the underworld and not disobey them. Remember that!"

Xue Shuangzi didn't know what the so-called laws of the underworld were, but she didn't dare to ask any questions at the moment. She hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes! This humble servant will obey your orders and will never dare to disobey in the slightest."

In the hall, Zheng Que looked at the other party's respectful appearance, nodded slightly, and then instructed: "There is currently a human cultivator in the mortal realm named 'Zheng Que,' and he must not cause any trouble."

"Okay, step back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Shuangzi's figure disappeared from the underworld.

Having dealt with this new "evil spirit," Zheng Que turned to the third page of the Book of Life and Death.

On this page, in addition to [Evil Shadow Play], Ghost Bride, and Mu Xian Gu, there is another name.

"Species: Human."

Real name: Dou Yanluo.

Place of origin: Yimo Peak, Qianpu Mountain.

"Lifespan: 581 years, 7 months, and 20 days. Died in battle at the beginning of the morning."

It's the Fairy of Smoke and Ivy!
Zheng Que was taken aback. The name of Fairy Yanluo had also been included in the Book of Life and Death?

This is the fourth living person's name recorded in the Book of Life and Death!
The first was himself, the second was Xiao Yiyang of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, and the third was Gao Yinxia, ​​who was also a disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect...

Gao Yinxia was detained in the underworld by the ghost bride using her underworld position, and that's how her name was recorded.

As for Xiao Yiyang of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, he still didn't know how the other party's name was included in the Book of Life and Death.

Now, the Book of Life and Death has also included Fairy Yanluo's name, which surprised him greatly.

"Is it because of my 'law'?"

“The Fairy of Misty Clouds might be affected by my ‘law,’ but Xiao Yiyang is definitely not.”

"Other names will only be recorded in the Book of Life and Death if the person dies, is granted a title, or is taken to the underworld by me."

"To find out the specific reasons behind this, we may have to wait until we see Xiao Yiyang again..."

Thinking of this, Zheng Que shook his head slightly, sat on the limping armchair, and waited quietly.

The black aura between his brows gradually faded until it was completely absorbed by the Book of Life and Death.

As before, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he watched as the Book of Life and Death spewed out large plumes of black energy, which spread throughout the hall and quickly collapsed into seven ordinary edicts.

Seeing that the number of imperial edicts had not increased, Zheng Que was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that his cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, allowing him to condense more imperial edicts each time, or even more advanced ones...

But now it seems that the number and level of the imperial edicts have nothing to do with his cultivation level.

As he pondered, the seven imperial edicts transformed into streams of light and disappeared into his brow.

Zheng Que felt a slight pain on his forehead, and the scene before his eyes changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was back in the quiet room of the Flower Path Cave.

The thick gauze lampshade covering the candlelight has been removed, and the room is now brightly lit.

Mu Xiangu stood alone by the cloud bed, looking down at him. When he opened his eyes, she immediately said in a serious tone, just like last time, "That female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect is already cultivating."

"Leave now!"
