Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 522 Peace is Paramount. (Second Update!)

Seeing this scene, Zheng Que was afraid of being caught in the crossfire of the battle between the two Iron Tree Prisons, so he immediately transmitted his voice to Mu Xiangu beside him: "Mu Xiangu, let's stay away!"

"Get out of this house!"

Mu Xiangu kept a close eye on the battle, and upon hearing this, she simply shook her head slightly and calmly replied, "Don't worry, with me here, I'll keep you safe."

"Moreover, the ghost bride's method is very strange."

"I still can't figure out how she did it?"

"Without her guidance, we wouldn't be able to leave this house anytime soon."

As soon as the words were spoken, a violent, eerie wind swept down, causing their clothes to flutter wildly and their bodies to grow cold. It was the finger that [Shadow Play] had pressed down, almost touching the roof.

Looking out from the burial site at this moment, all you can see is the tip of that bone finger!

At that moment, the two "shadows" of the [Iron Tree Prison] suddenly went out of control and turned around to attack the [Evil Shadow Play].

With no more opponents to deal with, the sedan chair bearers and servants around them freed up their hands and unleashed various techniques on the sky.

Boom boom boom boom…

Loud noises rose and fell, ghostly figures moved back and forth, and a powerful, eerie atmosphere filled the air.

The finger that was pressing down was abruptly blocked in mid-air.

But then they saw the dark aura in the courtyard surging like dark clouds, and the two "shadows" of the Iron Tree Prison stood frozen in place, with the character "囍" pasted on their bodies.

This is Luo Fuyu's ghostly skill, 【囍雨】.

Luo Fuyu himself has yet to make a real appearance!
Seeing this, [Shadowplay] wanted to continue attacking, but suddenly found that its body had stiffened again.
It immediately noticed that fine threads were connecting from those "shadows" to all parts of its body.

However, these "lines" are no longer its control lines, but rather seemingly delicate embroidery threads.

This is also Luo Fuyu's ghostly skill, [Thousand Needles Embroidered Soul]!
[Evil Shadow Play] immediately used his immense cultivation to forcefully suppress the backlash of "Shadow Play," and then opened his entire bony hand, slamming it down squarely towards the Yin House.

creak.

Amidst the chaos of war, the sound of a door opening was exceptionally clear.

Inside the tomb, a door opened, and Luo Fuyu, still dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, held an embroidery frame in her hand, on which was an unfinished embroidery of a perfect union of flowers and a full moon.

She moved with light, graceful steps, and finally appeared.

The moment Luo Fuyu stepped out of the house, he raised his hand and struck upwards with a palm strike from a distance.

[Yin Zhaodian]!
boom! ! !
In an instant, the world turned into a ghastly blood-red expanse, with yin energy mixed with baleful energy flowing freely across the sky, obscuring vision like a smog, making it impossible to see or perceive anything.

After a while, the bloodstains slowly faded, revealing the surroundings.

The gloomy and magnificent ghost house had vanished without a trace, and a familiar ghost wedding procession appeared in its place. Luo Fuyu stood in mid-air, and not far from him, on the ground, a pale skeletal hand as large as a mountain was tightly bound by a cocoon of dense embroidery threads.

The bone hand was covered with countless bright red "囍" characters.

At this moment, the bone hand continued to tremble, and the surrounding yin energy surged repeatedly, as if it was still struggling unwillingly.

The outcome is decided!

At this moment, Luo Fuyu raised his hand, seemingly about to deliver the final blow to [Evil Shadow Play].

Seeing this, Zheng Que quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Wait a minute!"

"This [Shadow Play] is, after all, a ghostly messenger who has been granted an imperial decree. Luo Fuyu, don't do anything reckless!" As he spoke, he secretly transmitted his voice to Luo Fuyu, "This [Shadow Play] is a local ghost of Blood Pass. It suddenly came to me, probably because it received some kind of mission from that lord."

"If you want revenge, it's not too late to kill it after it has completed its mission."

"Don't forget, that lord's mission is the most important. If you lose your composure because of a mere underworld official and ruin that lord's arrangements, you will likely face accountability from the underworld..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Fuyu finally turned his head to look at Zheng Que, his fingertips paused slightly, and he finally calmed down and slowly lowered his arm.

The dowry has been recovered, and the missing pieces have been pieced back together.

It's definitely not worth risking your life to kill just one mere underworld official right now.

Seeing Luo Fuyu stop, Zheng Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His current intervention to mediate is not out of genuine concern for the safety of [Shadow Play], but rather because he fears that [Shadow Play], with its history of double-dealing, might expose him, the Lord of the Underworld, once cornered.

Although Luo Fuyu could not possibly believe that the dowry was stolen by himself, the lord of the underworld, why should he take the risk?
Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately looked at [Shadow Play] and said righteously, "[Shadow Play], why don't you admit your mistake immediately!"

"Luo Fuyu isn't an unreasonable devil. As long as you bow your head and admit your mistake now, I'll guarantee that this matter will be over!"

Admit your mistake?

What mistake are you admitting?

【Shadow Play】was very indignant. It was carrying out that person's mission, so what was wrong with it?

At the same time, it was also very shocked. The ghost bride's cultivation was clearly inferior to its own, but in a real fight, it was no match for her.

In addition, like the "Painted Skin" monster, this ghost bride also possesses a power that makes it very uneasy.

In the battle just now, the opponent hadn't even used that power!

Just as [Shadow Play] was racing through its mind, an anxious voice entered its consciousness: "[Shadow Play], forget everything else and quickly admit that you stole these things from Shu Family Fortress."

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

"This ghost bride has always been ruthless and merciless, killing ghosts without blinking an eye, and she especially likes to crush bones and savor them."

"If you don't admit your mistake soon, it will be too late!"

"If you truly have a grievance, you can go back to the underworld and file a complaint!"

Ok?
Complain?

Yup!

Suddenly enlightened, [Evil Shadow Play] immediately uttered a deep voice, saying crisply, "Those things were indeed stolen by me from Shu Family Fortress!"

"I know I was wrong..."

Before [Shadow Play] could finish speaking, Zheng Que frowned and said loudly, "[Shadow Play], you have disappointed me greatly!"

"How could a dignified ghost of the Iron Tree Prison, a dignified 'evil spirit,' do such a thing?"

"Fine, considering you came all this way specifically to help me, this won't happen again!"

Then he turned to Luo Fuyu and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that."

"We're all working for that lord, so we're colleagues. Let's not let such a trivial matter ruin our harmony!"
