Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 580 A Thorough Investigation. (Second Update!)

Upon hearing this, Xue Shuangzi was completely stunned.

Lying on the ground, Zheng Que was also puzzled. Just now, the only person who had examined him was Xue Shuangzi.

that……

What are the other female ghosts doing nearby?
Moreover, when Niannu and Kulan entered the underworld space, their clothing was clearly inappropriate, and the reactions of the three female ghosts also revealed their guilty conscience.

At this moment, Xue Shuangzi finally realized what was happening and angrily shouted, "Kulan! Qingli! Niannu! We clearly agreed on this together just now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qingli was the first to reprimand her, "Who was with you?"

"Your grandma just arrived!"

"Otherwise, with my wicked character, I would never tolerate such opportunistic and exploitative behavior, and I would certainly not let a treacherous person like you succeed!"

At the same time, Ku Lan waved her hand and instantly took the thick satin blindfold from Zheng Que's eyes, saying righteously, "Xue Shuangzi, don't try to deny it!"

"Let me see, young master, who this ghost servant is who dares to offend you!"

"I have always been loyal to you, young master, and I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation. How could I possibly stand by and watch you be humiliated?"

"Even if you want to frame someone, you should at least come up with a better reason."

Niannu immediately chimed in, "Lady Qingli is right!"

"I never expected that you, Rouge Demon, would take advantage of Lord Zheng Que's trust and do such a thing."

"Like Lady Qingli, I just arrived..."

At this moment, the thick satin covering Zheng Que's eyes was removed, and his vision was no longer obstructed, allowing him to finally see his surroundings clearly.

In the training room, Qingli, Kulan, and Niannu stood to the side, their clothes intact, each one looking furious and righteous as they fiercely criticized Xue Shuangzi.

Xue Shuangzi lay on top of him, her clothes disheveled. Her once beautiful face, which had been tinged with a murderous aura, was now filled with shock, bewilderment, blankness, and disbelief...

It's clear that this "Rouge Demon," though intelligent, is naive and unaware of the wickedness of ghosts. Caught in the throes of injustice, it's speechless and unable to utter a word of rebuttal.

In a flash, Zheng Que stood up and said with a serious expression, "Qingli, Kulan and Niannu, you all go out first."

"This is a very serious matter, I must investigate it thoroughly myself!"

Upon hearing this, the three female ghosts, Qingli, Kulan, and Niannu, did not hesitate for a moment and instantly fled.

In this spacious cultivation room, only Zheng Que and Xue Shuangzi remained.

Xue Shuangzi finally came to her senses and hurriedly explained, "Zheng, Zheng Que, I was wronged!"

"What was actually just now... ah..."

Zheng Que reached out and put his arm around Xue Shuangzi's slender waist. He turned her over slightly and said in a serious tone, "There must have been a problem with the three incense sticks inside you just now."

“I will now use the ‘law’ to heal you.”

what?
Xue Shuangzi was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded after realizing what she meant, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Just now, something went wrong with my body..."

So, the two immediately began their unspoken cultivation. In the large cultivation room, the wind howled, and the rustling sounds gradually turned into a sticky, lingering noise…

※※※

Several hours later, Xue Shuangzi lay on the floor of the cultivation room, her cherry lips slightly open, her small tongue sticking out halfway, her chest heaving rapidly, her breathing sometimes fast and sometimes slow, her expression unfocused.

Zheng Que skillfully dressed and got up. Just as he stepped out of the cultivation room, he saw a figure in a yellowish-brown dress appear beside him.

The newcomer was none other than Mu Xiangu. Without uttering a word, she directly took out a piece of white human skin, on which were drawn various ghostly creatures, each with a bizarre shape and a strong sense of yin energy.

The next moment, Mu Xiangu flicked her hand, and the lifelike ghosts on the human skin instantly transformed into semi-transparent figures that emerged and appeared around her.

The vast majority of these ghosts are "fierce spirits," with only a few being "vengeful spirits," and all of them are at least at the [Scissors Prison] level.

Seeing this, Zheng Que immediately understood that Mu Xiangu had sent him a ghost.

It has to be said that there is no shortage of ghosts in the territory of Blood Tong Pass!

Not long ago, Mu Xiangu had already captured a batch of ghosts from the [Scissors Prison] for him, and Qingli and Niannu had also cleared out the ghosts in the surrounding area. Not long after these events, [Painted Skin] went out for a trip and brought back so many more [Scissors Prison] ghosts for him...

Without hesitation, he took out the Soul-Summoning Banner and began to receive the ghosts.

After spending some time collecting all the ghosts into the Soul-Summoning Banner, Zheng Que nodded in satisfaction as he examined the banner, which now exuded a much heavier yin energy.

Seeing that Zheng Que had nothing else to do, Mu Xiangu's skirt fluttered slightly, and she disappeared from the spot.

Without wasting any time, Zheng Que immediately took the Soul-Summoning Banner, moved to another cultivation room, and began cultivating the [Blood Gaze Technique] and [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet]...

Neither of these two techniques is used for direct combat, and they are much easier to cultivate than [Yin Shen Devouring Resentment] and [Twin Heart Ghost Hand].

In less than half an hour, Zheng Que successfully mastered both techniques.

He looked at the rotting ghost beside him. The ghost was red all over and dripped thick, yin-energy-rich pus. It was small and thin, with its eyes closed. Its aura was at the seventh level of the [Scissors Prison], and it was one of the many ghosts that Mu Xiangu had just captured.

Zheng Que closed his eyes and made a hand seal. The next moment, the rotting ghost servant opened his eyes, and his vision was connected with Zheng Que's. Everything he saw was clearly displayed in Zheng Que's mind.

This is the [Blood Sight Technique]!
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que changed his hand seals, and the rotting ghost servant's body also wriggled rapidly a few times, suddenly growing taller, and its various parts also changed, transforming into Zheng Que's appearance.

This "Zheng Que" was exactly the same as the real Zheng Que in terms of true essence, yang energy, temperament, and appearance. The aura of the seventh level of the [Scissors Prison] on his body had also changed to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. His body was filled with the aura of a living person, and there was no trace of a ghost.

This is the [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet]!
The soul of this ghost servant is now completely under Zheng Que's control.

Furthermore, he can use this soul body to unleash all his spells and supernatural powers.

With this thought in mind, Zheng Que immediately used this soul body to open a soul-nurturing bag.

Whoosh!
As soon as the Soul-Nourishing Bag was opened, a dark shadow darted out from within, moving with lightning speed.

Zheng Que was prepared and immediately opened the mouth of the soul.

In an instant, the shadow changed direction and burrowed into the soul's abdomen.

As the "devouring demon" entered his stomach, Zheng Que instantly realized that the strength of his soul body had suddenly increased by a large margin!
