Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 595 Movements on Both Sides

Red marrow crystal mine.

The mine was dark, with ghostly figures looming around, and the constant clanging of picks echoed from within, along with the sounds of ore being transported.

A chilling wind blew from the depths, occasionally punctuated by howls and sobs.

The Soul Puppet stood in the corner with a gloomy expression, casually tossing down a talisman in his hand.

Zheng Que, controlling this body, had turned the entire mine upside down, but had found nothing.

They originally thought the entrance to the high-level cultivator's tomb might be hidden in some secret passage or concealed by an array, but after this investigation, they found that there was nothing in the entire mine except for mineral deposits!

Feeling extremely dissatisfied with having wasted so much time, Zheng Que immediately called out, "[Shadow Play]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ghostly creature floated over.

This ghostly creature is a pure shadow, with only a vague outline of a human figure visible. It is one of the "Shadow Play" creatures of the Evil Shadow Play.

"Shadow Play" approached Zheng Que and immediately spoke, uttering the voice of "Evil Shadow Play": "Zheng Que, what business do you have with me?"

Zheng Que didn't waste any words and said directly, "I need to go to the [Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid] mine to continue mining."

"If you make any special discoveries during the excavation, please tell me immediately."

The "shadow" immediately replied, "I understand."

After explaining the matter of the [Evil Shadow Play], Zheng Que didn't care to stay here any longer and immediately fled outside.

[Yin Shen You] moved with incredible speed, exiting the mine tunnel in the blink of an eye and arriving at the place where they had entered earlier. There were still many traces of battle left here, and the air was filled with the smell of exploding talismans, mixed with the sweet and pungent smell of blood. However, the cultivators of the Fu Clan could not be seen around.

Did they escape?

Or have they already been controlled by the [Shadow Play]?
However, such things are not important to him right now.

While he was pondering, Zheng Que had already escaped from the mine and entered the blood mist.

The blood mist was vast and cold, yet it possessed a unique, intense, malevolent aura, like thousands of silver needles piercing the skin.

Zheng Que looked around and, finding nothing unusual, headed straight for the hillside where the Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid was located.

Meanwhile, in Zheng's Market, Zheng Que's eyes were slightly closed, but his brows gradually furrowed.

There seems to be fighting going on outside!

What kind of ghostly creature has broken into his market?

With Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu now in charge of the market, the fact that the ghosts that have broken into the market can still cause trouble suggests that they are mostly at least at the [Iron Tree Prison] level of cultivation...

You should know that in this entire market, he and Yin Hui'er are the only two living people. How could they attract the ghosts of the Iron Tree Prison?

This Blood Tong Pass is truly dangerous!

Fortunately, I left Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu with my main body this time.

If Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu can't handle the ghosts that have broken in, he'll call back [Evil Shadow Play] as well...

With this in mind, Zheng Que's soul puppet had already arrived near the hillside where [Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid] was located.

He stopped being distracted and focused all his attention on the soul puppet.

Down the hillside, amidst the blood mist, Yin Congyi gazed at the Core Formation female cultivator not far away, about to walk over.

“...Otherwise, kill!” Upon hearing this, Yin Congyi was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that the Core Formation female cultivator also realized that something was wrong here.

However, the other party's detection methods were far inferior to Master's, and they were unable to distinguish whether other cultivators were human or ghost!

In the blink of an eye, Yin Congyi stopped and said calmly, "Yin Congyi, the son of the Duke of Dingguo, greets senior."

"May I ask, senior, is this place truly the tomb of a high-level cultivator?"

Upon hearing that Yin Congyi was a member of the Duke of Dingguo's family, the Core Formation female cultivator frowned slightly. She did not want to offend the Duke of Dingguo's family, but she was not sure whether the figure in front of her was really a member of the Duke of Dingguo's family.

After a moment's thought, the Core Formation female cultivator said coldly, "I don't know."

"A ghost from the Iron Tree Prison is hidden here."

"You're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If you don't want to die, you'd better leave now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the area diagonally behind her.

Amidst the churning blood mist, a figure was rapidly approaching from afar.

Soon, the figure approached, and the Core Formation female cultivator immediately saw that it was a simply dressed young man. He didn't even glance in her direction. After a few leaps down the hillside, he didn't hesitate at all and headed up the hillside where the [Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid] was located.

Since the two were not far apart, Yin Congyi also saw the boy. His expression immediately became serious, and he quickly transmitted his voice, "Master, it's Zheng Que!"

Yan Bingyi gave a perfunctory "hmm," seemingly uninterested in this highly regarded Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Heavenly Rank who had received much attention during the Immortal Examination.

At this moment, the ghosts that had been lurking at the foot of the hill noticed the approach of living people and quickly gathered around like sharks that had seen blood.

Suddenly, a cold wind arose down the hillside, and the yin energy gathered like a thick fog, accompanied by all sorts of ghostly wails and howls, which was extremely eerie.

Zheng Que showed no intention of backing down. He raised his hand and unleashed streams of condensed black energy, which shot towards the ghosts like sharp arrows.

Boom boom boom...

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle, which was filled with surging yin energy, billowing blood mist, and flying sand and stones... Before long, Zheng Que, with his powerful strength, quickly broke into the interior.

Seeing this, the Core Formation female cultivator was quite surprised.

She couldn't tell whether Yin Congyi in front of her was real or fake, but the Foundation Establishment boy who had just arrived in the distance was full of yang energy, and the aura he exuded when he made a move was full of the vitality unique to a living person, so there was obviously nothing wrong with him!

However, how dare a mere late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator rush in like this?
On the contrary, the ghostly creatures that surrounded her like mayflies were far weaker than she had imagined!

Judging from this, the [Iron Tree Prison] hidden in the shadows is probably not that strong either.

Thinking of this, the Core Formation female cultivator no longer hesitated. With a flick of her wide sleeves, she also fled towards the hillside where the [Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid] was located.

At the same moment, Yin Congyi also came to his senses.

This is indeed a true Heavenly Dao Foundation!

The fact that the other party was able to come here suggests that there must be clues to the tombs of high-level cultivators in this place.

Moreover, half of Master's three sticks of bone incense were swallowed by the other party's ghost servants.

This time... I didn't come for nothing!
Therefore, without waiting for Yan Bingyi's consent, Yin Congyi started moving almost simultaneously with the Core Formation female cultivator, using his escape technique to rush towards Zheng Que.

Seeing this, Yan Bingyi's slightly hurried voice immediately reached his ears: "Don't go over there!"

"That [Shadow Play] was just acting; it wasn't real at all."

"That Zheng Que is the same!"
