Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 69: The Master's Mission. (Second update!)

The woodcutter ghost had no power to resist at all. His head was hit and spun around on his neck. He fell to the ground instantly. The Yin energy in his body trembled violently and then quickly thinned out, as if it would collapse at any time.

Immediately afterwards, the figure in black clothes and black umbrella quickly came to the side of the woodcutter ghost, grabbed the woodcutter ghost's hair, and dragged the woodcutter ghost away as if dragging some kind of cargo.

The figure in black clothes and black umbrella was incredibly fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The mortals on the main street came and went, becoming increasingly noisy, completely unaware of what was happening on the corner.

The west wind blew up a few fallen leaves, which floated down onto Li Lian'an's shoulders.

From beginning to end, he never saw the other person's face.

It was only at this moment that Li Lian finally reacted. The one just now seemed to be an "evil spirit"!

[Tongue-Pulling Prison] The fifth level of "evil"!
His own ghost servant was captured by an "evil spirit"!
His cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi training, and he is definitely no match for that "evil creature"!

Gotta run away quickly!
The ghost servant is lost and it is lost.

We can no longer take care of the disappearance of the "vengeful spirit" of Old Getou in Yangjia Lane.

No matter how many mortals died on the main street, the most they would have to pay as compensation would be some spirit stones.

But this "evil" of the fifth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison] can really take his life!

Li Lian's mind raced as he immediately took off running!
As he ran, he silently greeted the ancestors of the two monks who patrolled the streets yesterday.

There was an "evil spirit" appearing in East Street. Such an important thing, but I didn't even tell him about it!

His mind raced, and just in case, Li Lian quickly took out ten talismans with a faint spiritual energy from his storage bag, and quickly stuck them on his eyebrows, chest, arms and legs.

These talismans are his most valuable treasures and can be used to save his life at critical moments.

However, he still felt that relying solely on these talismans was not safe, so he opened the soul-nourishing bag again...

In the nameless alley, the ground was covered with fallen poplar leaves, and the door thresholds on both sides were covered with dust. Zheng Que stood alone in the empty alley. After waiting for a while, Ku Lan came back with a "ghost" that looked like a woodcutter in his hand.

As Ku Lan brought the "vengeful spirit" to Zheng Que, she said, as if to claim credit: "Sir, I have captured the 'vengeful spirit'!"

"Besides, I didn't kill anyone along the way. I just killed a few dogs."

"If it was that traitorous woman, this street would be littered with corpses and rivers of blood!"

"I suggest that we quickly revoke the title bestowed upon that traitorous woman, and then beat her to death!"

"From now on, it will be enough for me to have a 'good ghost' follow you."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que ignored Ku Lan's subsequent words and began to look at the "vengeful spirit" that Ku Lan had captured.

This "vengeful spirit" had a slightly hunched body and looked like a middle-aged man. Its aura was at the fourth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. Its whole body was weak in Yin energy, and the axe in its hand was dragging powerlessly on the ground. At this moment, its entire body and the weapon appeared to be in an unstable translucent state. It was held in Ku Lan's hand, motionless, and obviously extremely weak.

As he watched, Zheng Que's expression gradually became confused.

The "ghost" in front of him, who looked like a woodcutter, looked nothing like the old Getou who had just died!

Moreover, the aura of this "vengeful soul" is the fourth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. Old Getou just died, so his "vengeful soul" should only be the first level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]!
Just as he was thinking this, Ku Lan beside him suddenly said, "Sir, I have sensed another 'vengeful spirit'!"

Another "vengeful spirit"?
Zheng Que frowned. Is there more than just Old Getou’s “vengeful spirit” on this East Street?
What Ku Lan senses now is the "vengeful spirit" of Old Getou?
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Quick! Capture that 'ghost' as well!" Ku Lan quickly responded, "Yes, sir."

Then he left quickly.

In the quiet alley, Zheng Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to his ghost servant who possessed the Yin job of Yin Messenger, he was able to sense the ghosts in the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. Otherwise, this street patrol mission would have been in trouble!
Thinking of this, Zheng Que glanced at the extremely weak "ghost" that Ku Lan had just thrown on the ground, and immediately took out the soul-nourishing bag.

He was going to sell this "vengeful soul", so there was no need to use the [Ghost Controlling Technique], he could just put it directly into the soul-nourishing bag.

Main Street.

The crowd was gradually growing and bustling, and suddenly there was a commotion.

Li Lian quickly pushed through the crowd and fled towards the offering square, while opening his soul-nourishing bag and releasing his second ghost servant.

This ghost servant was of sturdy build, with an indelible stain of old blood on his chest. He wore a short cotton jacket, patched soap-colored trousers, and tattered straw sandals. He carried a shoulder pole and a half-worn rattle on his waist. He had a simple and honest face, with a fierce gleam in his small eyes occasionally. Judging from his dress, he looked like a peddler going from village to village.

During his lifetime, he went in and out of the countryside under the guise of selling goods, kidnapping and selling children and girls, and accumulating a considerable fortune. However, when he was about to enjoy himself, the father of his victim came to seek revenge and stabbed him to death. Therefore, he could not let go of his resentment, and his soul fell into depravity after his death.

However, although this ghost servant had committed many evil deeds in his life and the yin energy around him was obviously one level weaker than the woodcutter ghost, and his cultivation was only the third level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. But after appearing, he did not show any sign of being angry, but just stood quietly by, waiting for orders.

This peddler ghost is more tamed than the woodcutter ghost, but its strength is far inferior to that of the woodcutter ghost.

After releasing this ghost servant, before Li Lian could give any orders to this peddler ghost, the talismans on his body suddenly began to burn spontaneously. The green fire was as cold as ice, and the temperature around him dropped rapidly.

Li Lian'an's face changed. When he looked up, he saw the figure in black clothes and black umbrella appear in front of him again.

Under the silk umbrella, her back is graceful, and the red ribbons on the ends of her hair look like cannas blooming in the ruins.

It’s that “evil spirit” from before!!

Li Lian'an's face suddenly froze. Before he could react, he saw his peddler ghost being knocked down by a figure in black clothes and a black umbrella, and then dragged away in front of him.

Li Lian watched helplessly from the side, not daring to stop it, for fear that the other party's next target would be him.

Soon, the talismans on his body stopped burning, the temperature around him gradually recovered, and the "evil spirit" seemed to have left.

Li Lian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Without any hesitation, he quickly ran in the opposite direction. At the same time, he opened the soul-nourishing bag and released his last ghost servant.

This ghost servant is tall and thin, and looks like a human, but its entire body looks like melted wax. Its head, limbs, and facial features cannot be seen. It is just a black mass with a rough outline drawn with a simple stroke. It is even impossible to tell whether it was originally a human being.

Its aura is the second level of [Tongue-Pulling Hell].

The ghost servant had just been released when the figure in black clothes and black umbrella came back and appeared directly in front of him!

boom! !

The figure in black clothes and the black umbrella punched Li Lian'an directly on the head.

Li Lian's neck suddenly tilted, he fell to the ground and passed out on the spot.

Ku Lan looked at Li Lian at her feet with murderous intent. This evil human cultivator had so many "vengeful souls", but he didn't know how to release them all at once and let her catch them all at once. Instead, he released them one by one, causing her to make an extra trip. He was simply courting death!
If it weren't for the future evil immortal who forbade her from killing anyone, she would have skinned and ripped off the tendons of this evil human cultivator!
Thinking of this, Ku Lan took off the soul-nourishing bag from Li Lian'an's waist, and then knocked out the ghost servant in the second level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison] next to him with a punch.

After doing all this, Ku Lan dragged the two "vengeful souls" and Li Lian'an's soul-nourishing bag and left.
