Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 462 Born Rebellious? (Second Update!)

On the deserted street, Zheng Que followed beside Song Jiaoyin, along with the two older female cultivators, hurrying along.

After walking for a while, they turned into a deserted alley. Seeing that the alley was completely open and there were no other figures around, the old woman-like female cultivator immediately said, "Miss, that Liao Zhanbo has already refined four fragments."

"If it refines just one more fragment, then things will get complicated!"

Why didn't you make a move just now?

Liao Zhanbo has already refined four fragments?

Zheng Que was slightly taken aback; this was new information!
Before he could think further, Song Jiaoyin quickly replied, "Yan Dong was there too."

"Taking action directly would involve too many variables."

"Moreover, I also have four fragments here now."

"Even if we don't actively seek out Liao Zhanbo, he will come looking for us."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female cultivator immediately showed a hint of surprise and frowned, saying, "That Liao Zhanbo is just a rogue cultivator. How could he have such audacity to offend you, Miss?"

Song Jiaoyin slowly shook her head and said in a calm voice, "The experiments that the six major sects conducted on the 'strange' were something that neither I nor Yan Dong could have accessed."

"If this so-called Liao Zhanbo is really just a rogue cultivator, how could he possibly know so much?"

"He may have acquired some memories of this market town."

"But more likely, he lied about his identity; he is actually a disciple of one of the six major sects!"

At this point, Song Jiaoyin turned her head, glanced at Zheng Que, and said again, "Tell me everything you know right now!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que came to his senses. It seemed that his ghost servant knew quite a lot.

However, before he could even begin questioning the ghost servant, the ghost servant started asking him questions first.
Having just taken over from Mu Xiangu, he's not exactly well-behaved. Once we get out, we'll have to discipline him properly, lest he turn into something like Qingli...

Thinking of this, Zheng Li immediately countered, "Tell me about the fragments of 'Law' first, what's going on?"

"How did you figure out that Liao Zhanbo had already refined four fragments?"

Ok?
Seeing that Zheng Que was disobeying her orders, Song Jiaoyin frowned slightly. Did this newly acquired ghost servant recognize her identity? Or was he just born rebellious?

never mind!

It does not matter!

She can now understand the other party's ghostly language, which means that the fragments of "law" have begun to take effect.

Since communication isn't a problem and this ghost servant isn't cooperating, then let's just use magic!
In the blink of an eye, Song Jiaoyin immediately flicked her fingers and cast a complex hand seal. This was a hand seal from the [Ghost Control Technique] used to give commands to ghost servants.

However, after the spell was cast, Zheng Que did not react at all.

Without hesitation, Song Jiaoyin switched to the [Soul Contract] incantation.

Zheng Que remained standing there, unmoved, staring intently at her, as if waiting for her answer.

Next, Song Jiaoyin tried several spells to enslave ghost servants, but she was unable to control Zheng Que.

Seeing this, Song Jiaoyin frowned. What methods did that female cultivator use to enslave this decent-looking ghost servant?

Just as Song Jiaoyin was completely confused, she suddenly heard a series of soft footsteps behind her.

Step, step, step...

Accompanied by unhurried footsteps, Liao Zhanbo, leading three candidates from Chongzhou, blatantly followed Song Jiaoyin and her group. Song Jiaoyin immediately stopped testing Zheng Que and turned to look.

Their eyes met, and Liao Zhanbo slowly stopped, his cold gaze fixed on Song Jiaoyin.

As soon as he made a move, the three candidates from Chongzhou behind him stopped in unison and stood expressionless behind him, like servants.

For a moment, the two sides stood facing each other at a distance in the deep alley, neither speaking nor making the first move.

Zheng Que observed for a moment and suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.

The three Chongzhou cultivators behind Liao Zhanbo had actions and expressions that were somewhat similar to the ghost sedan chair bearers of the Ghost Bride!

Just then, Liao Zhanbo suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Zheng Que.

Without any hesitation, the three cultivators from Chongzhou immediately moved towards Zheng Que.

Song Jiaoyin snorted inwardly and was about to make a move when she saw Zheng Que beside her suddenly unleash a very familiar spell.

This is the incantation for giving an attack to a ghost servant in the [Ghost Control Technique]!

Song Jiaoyin was stunned for a moment, and then...

Whoosh!
As if receiving a command, her body instinctively rushed out, aiming directly at the three Chongzhou cultivators.

Song Jiaoyin's expression changed drastically in an instant. What was going on?
Before she could even think, her two subordinates, seeing their young mistress take action herself, immediately followed suit, each using their own methods to attack Liao Zhanbo.

Seeing this, Liao Zhanbo frowned slightly. His move was originally just a test to find out the details of the fragments that Song Jiaoyin had.

Unexpectedly, the opponent took the lead and went all out from the start, leaving him with no choice but to deal with the situation cautiously.

While pondering, Liao Zhanbo flicked his sleeves and made his move as well.

Boom boom boom...

drug store.

Yan Dong led Le Jingxuan here with ease. Looking at the empty shop, he did not hesitate at all and led the way inside.

As soon as he entered the pharmacy, Le Jingxuan frowned subconsciously. He had a feeling that he had been here before...

Thinking of this, Le Jingxuan asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Yan, this place is extremely 'strange' and dangerous. Why do we want to enter this pharmacy?"

Yan Dong remained calm, walked directly to the open space in the middle of the pharmacy, stood with his hands behind his back, looked around, and said indifferently, "Danger?"

"Fellow Daoist, don't you think this 'strange' place is abnormally safe, with not a single cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining dying? It's not dangerous at all, it's practically unsafe."

Upon hearing this, Le Jingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately replied, "Fellow Daoist, we have only just entered this 'strange' place. Perhaps we are just lucky and haven't encountered any danger yet..."

As Yan Dong listened, he suddenly licked his lips, turned his back to Le Jingxuan, and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist is an examinee from Tuzhou City and has already established his foundation. You should know about 'Law', right?"

Le Jingxuan nodded immediately.

For those rogue cultivators who are at the bottom of society and spend their days scheming and making a living, it is naturally difficult for them to come into contact with cultivation knowledge at the level of "law".

But for a court cultivator like him, who has the backing of a powerful family in the state capital and is able to participate in the imperial examination, "Law" is not a secret.

Yan Dong nodded and continued, "In this 'strange' place, the 'law' can not only be pieced together, but also broken!"
