Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 459 Who is the Master? (First Update!)

In the cold, dimly lit room, Liao Zhanbo's voice lingered, his head rolled to the ground, his eyes wide open, staring straight at Le Jingxuan and the others.

Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, Le Jingxuan felt much more at ease and immediately prepared to take advantage of the situation to dismember the strange rogue cultivator in front of him!
However, he had only taken one step forward when his entire body suddenly froze.

Le Jingxuan was stunned. This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, as if another person had suddenly moved into his body!
Just as he was utterly astonished, his body moved on its own. He took three steps at a time to Liao Zhanbo's head, bent down to pick it up, held it in his arms, and then quickly went to Liao Zhanbo's stiff, standing body and placed the head on his neck.

clack clack...

After Liao Zhanbo placed his head on his neck, his neck immediately turned slightly. The next moment, the wound that Le Jingxuan had created with the talisman disappeared. The rogue cultivator looked as if he had never been injured, and turned his head slightly to look at Le Jingxuan.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Le Jingxuan's expression changed drastically. His body was no longer under his control, and he was unable to continue fighting. In desperation, he immediately shouted, "What are you two standing there for?!"

"If you don't want to die, act now!"

The words echoed in the spacious room, but there was no response from behind.

The two candidates from Chongzhou who were at the ninth level of Qi Refining seemed to be completely non-existent, making no sound whatsoever.

Le Jingxuan was extremely anxious and wanted to urge him further, but his arm suddenly moved involuntarily and reached for his own eyeball.

puff!

"what!!"

With the splash of warm liquid, Le Jingxuan's face contorted to the extreme, and he let out a shrill scream as he gouged out one of his own eyeballs and presented it to Liao Zhanbo in front of him.

A strange smile appeared on Liao Zhanbo's aged face, and he opened his mouth without hesitation.

Click!

"what!!!"

※※※

On the long street, Zheng Que lowered his head and kissed the young female cultivator in the peach-pink palace dress in front of him fiercely.

The instant their lips touched, his previously chaotic thoughts seemed to be suddenly lifted from the mire, becoming clear in an instant, and the stagnation and heaviness vanished without a trace.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the bustling crowds around me vanish like bubbles.

The entire market town was once again deserted.

The female cultivator he kissed underwent rapid changes in her face, dress, and hair. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a beautiful female cultivator wearing a lychee-red short blouse and a butterfly-yellow long skirt. She wore a necklace and a longevity lock on her chest, and her ivory fan hung low at her side. She looked dazed and had not yet realized what had happened.

The beautiful female cultivator held one arm out to the side, firmly gripping a familiar-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator with a scar.

A step or two behind her were two female cultivators with Foundation Establishment auras. The one on the left was middle-aged, wearing a lotus-colored short jacket and a bamboo-green silk skirt; the one on the right had graying temples and a dark blue beaded headband tied around her hair in a bun. Judging from their posture, they were clearly the beautiful female cultivator's attendants.

Ok?
here it is……

Before Zheng Que could think any further, Song Jiaoyin finally came to her senses, her face instantly turning red, and then she slapped Zheng Que with her palm.

boom! ! !
With a muffled thud, accompanied by the scattering of sand and gravel, Zheng Que immediately stumbled back several steps.

Song Jiaoyin's eyes were like knives as she coldly stared at Zheng Que. However, before she could retaliate, a figure in a gorgeous dress, exuding a murderous aura, pounced on her like a wolf, aiming straight for Song Jiaoyin's vitals. The newcomer had bright, star-like eyes, but her brows were furrowed with a heavy killing intent—it was Xue Shuangzi!
Xue Shuangzi's face revealed a sinister smile. She spread her five fingers, revealing long, sharp nails, and fiercely grabbed at Song Jiaoyin's face.

She didn't care what Song Jiaoyin was thinking; she acted purely on instinct!

As a cold wind swept across her face, Song Jiaoyin's expression darkened. Zheng Que's sudden appearance had distracted her, and Xue Shuangzi took advantage of this moment to make her move, leaving her no time to dodge.

At the critical moment, Song Jiaoyin quickly cast a spell.

歘!
At the critical moment, Song Jiaoyin, along with her two subordinates, retreated more than ten steps like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, she was unharmed, but a tear appeared on the shoulder of her robe, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin.

At the same time, the scarred monk who had just been choked by her fell helplessly from mid-air.

Before it had even completely fallen to the ground, Xue Shuangzi grabbed its face, seemingly intending to tear it in two!

"Stop!"

At this moment, Zheng Li finally spoke.

Xue Shuangzi's movements came to an abrupt halt, and at the same time, the murderous aura and killing intent emanating from her body began to rapidly recede.

She turned to look at Zheng Que, her heart filled with doubt.

I was clearly acting as a ghost, so when did Zheng Que follow me here?

wrong……

I was acting with Zheng Que, and it was Zheng Que's idea to follow the other cultivators earlier...

strange!
My memories seem a bit jumbled!

Seeing that Xue Shuangzi was still following his orders, Zheng Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew in his heart that what had just disappeared was not Xue Shuangzi, but himself!
However, he has his own "law" that can counteract the "law" within this "weirdness"!
In a flash, Zheng Que strode to Xue Shuangzi's side, took the scarred cultivator from her, intending to use him for soul searching later. Then he turned to Song Jiaoyin and the other two and immediately said, "I am Zheng Que, a candidate from Qingrao Prefecture, Tuzhou. May I ask if this fellow Daoist is Song Jiaoyin from Qinzhou?"

He was no stranger to the beautiful female cultivator in front of him. Before the Immortal Examination began, on the snow mountain, he had noticed her cultivation level.

At that time, Cen Fuyi had also used telepathy to introduce him to the situation of this beautiful female cultivator.

She is the grandniece of the governor of Qinzhou. Her cultivation level is at the late Foundation Establishment stage. It is said that she had a fortuitous opportunity during her Foundation Establishment, using rare and precious materials to build her foundation. Therefore, her strength is far superior to that of other cultivators at the same level.

Of course, these are not the main points right now.

The key point is that the other party was involved in this "strange" matter earlier than him and had more clues than him!
In addition, the other party also conforms to his "law"...

While he was pondering, he noticed that Song Jiaoyin showed no intention of answering him. The two female cultivators behind her were looking at Zheng Que with great anger, but they also remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Que was immediately puzzled.

The long, empty street fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

The two sides remained deadlocked for a moment. Song Jiaoyin glanced at Zheng Que and then at Xue Shuangzi, her gaze shifting back and forth several times, before finally asking Zheng Que, "Who is your master?"
