Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 50: Evil Spirit. (First update!)

The moment the talisman was torn off, huge plumes of black smoke immediately billowed out from around the bronze tripod's lid. The smoke was thick and cold, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire underground chamber with a layer of black veil, sharply reducing visibility.

next moment……

boom!
The lid of the tripod exploded instantly. With a loud bang, a black shadow shot out and quickly fled out the door.

The aura of this black shadow was indeed only at the first level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison], but its speed was so fast that Zheng Que, who had been prepared, had no time to stop it!
At the critical moment, Qingli's arm suddenly grew larger, stretched out at the critical moment, and grabbed the black shadow fiercely.

Whoosh!
Just as the black shadow reached the door, Qingli grabbed it and revealed its appearance - it was a black silk umbrella!
The silk umbrella was as black as night, and the grease applied on it had dried up, revealing a withered appearance. At this moment, the umbrella cover was folded up, revealing a section of the old umbrella handle.

The umbrella was surrounded by a faint yin aura. Although it had fallen into Qingli's hands, it was still trembling, trying to break free.

However, the Yin energy around him was far less intense than Qingli's, and he was unable to escape Qingli's control at all.

Zheng Que did not hesitate. He immediately opened his palm, made a series of incantations, and began to perform the [Ghost Controlling Technique].

As if sensing danger, blood suddenly flowed out of the black silk umbrella, soaking Qingli's palm. Qingli suddenly felt her palm was slippery and she couldn't use any strength.

brush!
Immediately afterwards, the black silk umbrella opened directly and broke free from Qingli's hand in an instant.

The open black umbrella slowly floated down to the open space between Zheng Que and Qingli. The twenty-four ribs of the umbrella were dense and cold, emitting a chilling aura.

The umbrella was covered in blood, with the bright red liquid crisscrossing everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the black umbrella turned into a red umbrella, and blood dripped down the edge of the umbrella like a torrential downpour.

Amidst the bloody rain, a blurry and slender figure slowly emerged under the umbrella.

It was the back of a woman in a crimson dress, her umbrella half tilted, revealing a corner of her tucked-in bun. Her black hair resembled a mass of green clouds, a long strand dangling loosely bound by a crimson headband. The headband was tied in a wishful knot, leaving a three-inch-long tassel that flowed along with the hair around her waist. She was graceful and elegant, as if ready to ride the wind home at any moment, like a lady in an ancient scroll painting, demure, elegant, and perhaps tinged with a hint of silent melancholy.

He stood quietly between Zheng Que and Qingli, but neither Zheng Que nor Qingli could see the back of this figure and could not see his face at all.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Que's expression froze. This didn't seem to be a "vengeful spirit", but an "evil spirit"!
As his mind raced, the magic spells in his hands quickened, and the spiritual blood turned into blood mist, encircling the woman holding the umbrella. Soon, the first spiritual blood rune took shape and shot towards the woman holding the umbrella.

Unlike ordinary ghosts, ordinary ghosts will instinctively fear and flee when they see the blood and spirit runes of the [Ghost Controlling Technique].

Zheng Que used this characteristic last night to escape from the many ghosts that were chasing him.

However, the woman holding the umbrella in front of him was not afraid of Zheng Que's [Ghost Controlling Technique] at all. She just stood there, motionless.

Whoosh!
The first spiritual blood rune was branded onto the umbrella of the woman holding the umbrella.

However, as soon as the rune landed on the umbrella, it immediately turned into bright red raindrops, rolled down from the umbrella, sank into the ground, and disappeared.

Zheng Que was stunned for a moment, and the magic spells in his hands changed. The second, third, and fourth runes quickly condensed in the blood mist suspended in the air, and branded towards the woman holding the umbrella from three directions.

Whoosh...

Runes fell onto the red silk umbrella one after another, but all the runes turned into blood-colored raindrops the moment they touched the umbrella surface. Then, like the spontaneously gushing blood, they dripped down the edge of the umbrella, unable to form any blood mark of the [Ghost Controlling Technique] on it.

After a while, Zheng Que finished using the [Ghost Controlling Technique], and the woman holding the umbrella stood there intact. Except that the Yin energy in her body became weaker, the [Ghost Controlling Technique] did not cause any effect on her!

Zheng Que's brow furrowed. His master had told him that the [Ghost Taming Technique] could enslave "vengeful spirits," but to enslave "treacherous," "evil," and "evil"... required profound cultivation and a powerful spirit. He had merely memorized that statement at the time, but now he truly understood what his master had said...

The "evil spirit" in front of him was standing still and not resisting. His [ghost-controlling technique] was actually unable to do anything to it!
At this time, Qingli, who was hanging on the door, said, "Human child, your cultivation is only at the second level of Qi training. You can't catch her."

"This ghost's original realm should be very close to the [Scissor Prison]."

"She's been sealed for too long, and her realm has fallen to the first level of the Tongue-Pulling Prison."

"If she had been sealed for a while longer, she would have died like the other ghosts in the bag just now."

"My suggestion is to just kill him!"

Approaching [Scissor Prison]?
Zheng Que was shocked. Qingli had the job of a ghost messenger and could sense the information of other ghosts in the [Tongue-Pulling Hell]. Therefore, he did not doubt Qingli's words.

However, how could he be willing to give up such a powerful ghost servant?

More importantly, no matter how high the realm of this "evil spirit" was before, its current cultivation level is only the first level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison], which is too different from Qingli. Once this "evil spirit" is really killed, Qingli will not be able to inherit any of the other party's methods.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately said, "Help me block the method she used to resist my [Ghost Controlling Technique] just now."

"I'll try using the [Ghost Controlling Technique] again."

Qingli snorted coldly, "My aunt's Yin position can only ban one of her skills at a time."

"This ghost has several methods that can resist the [Ghost Controlling Technique] of a human child like you!"

Zheng Que shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Whatever method she uses to resist my [Ghost Controlling Technique], you will block that method."

"If this demon changes its tactics mid-strike, you should also change the target of your ban."

"This kind of operation is very simple for a person like me who is destined to succeed."

"But it may be extremely difficult for you. Can you do it?"

Switching the blocking method in real time was very difficult, but after being provoked by Zheng Que, Qingli immediately said angrily: "This method is not difficult for me at all!"

"You dull-witted human kid, just don't let yourself down!"

Just as Zheng Que and Qingli were discussing countermeasures, the woman holding the umbrella standing between them remained motionless.

She is too weak.

I had almost exhausted all my strength when I broke free from Qingli's hands just now.

Now, she no longer had the strength to fight back, nor the strength to escape...
