Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 81: Return. (Second update!)

As the spell was cast, the spiritual blood flew into the air and turned into a blood mist, like a spread net, encircling the butcher's "evil spirit".

Soon, the blood mist transformed into fine runes, which were branded into the butcher's "evil spirit" in a specific order.

The "evil spirit" immediately began to struggle violently. Unlike the "vengeful spirit", it was extremely violent. It opened its mouth from time to time, roaring with murderous intent, and swung the butcher knife in its hand vigorously. The blade broke through the air and made a whistling sound in the wind.

Nian Nu hurriedly tightened the rope, but even though the "evil spirit" was very weak at the moment, Nian Nu still couldn't control the situation.

The rope became increasingly tighter as the "evil spirit" tore at it repeatedly, but it was unable to restrain the extent of its resistance.

At this time, Ku Lan immediately rushed forward and slapped the "evil spirit" in the face.

Snapped!
Ku Lan's movements were casual and didn't seem to be very strong, but the "evil spirit's" head was instantly spun several times, and its neck was twisted like a tightly wrung towel.

His already extremely weak Yin energy suddenly became extremely thin, and his entire soul body clearly wilted.

The spiritual blood rune floated in the air, continuing to be branded into the body of the "evil spirit".

"Roar……"

The eyes of the "evil spirit" were filled with anger, and it let out a very unwilling roar.

But after being slapped by Ku Lan, he no longer had the strength to struggle.

Zheng Que nodded with great satisfaction. Ku Lan's Yin technique [evil power] seemed to be very useful against ghosts!
Soon, the last soul blood rune was branded into the body of the "evil spirit".

The butcher's "evil spirit" was lying on the ground. At this moment, his soul became a little more transparent, and the yin energy lingering around his body became ethereal and thin. It was obvious that his vitality was seriously damaged. But even so, his blood-red eyes were still staring at Zheng Que fiercely. There was not much submissiveness in his eyes, but full of murderous intent.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Que immediately understood that the cultivation level of this "evil spirit" was much higher than his own, and the blood mark imposed by the [Ghost Controlling Technique] was not enough to enslave the other party.

This is different from Qingli and Kulan back then.

Although Qingli and Kulan's current cultivation is much higher than his, when he used the [Ghost Controlling Technique] on these two ghost servants, the cultivation of these two ghost servants was only the first level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison].

So at that time, he only needed to use one layer of blood seal...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately used his [Ghost Controlling Technique] for the second time...

After a moment, he used the [Ghost Controlling Technique] three times in total, leaving three layers of blood marks on the "evil spirit" of the sixth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison].

The butcher's "evil spirit" was now shrouded in a thin, almost nonexistent yin energy, and even the fierceness in its brow seemed to have been shaved off. It stood there blankly, devoid of its previous urge to erupt and kill. Its strength had also significantly decreased compared to when it was without a master.

Zheng Que knew in his heart that this was a normal cultivator's ghost servant.

Because of the influence of the Yang energy in the [Ghost Controlling Technique], his strength can only be retained at 70% to 80% of the original, and he is completely unable to fight against other lonely ghosts of the same level...

While thinking, he pointed at the other two ghosts with strong ghost skills and Yin magic, and ordered Nian Nu: "Leave these two, and take the others aside first."

Upon hearing this, Nian Nu looked at Qingli hesitantly.

Qingli had no intention of doing it herself, and said directly: "Do as this human kid says."

Hearing this, Nian Nu immediately realized that this human cultivator seemed to have a very high status?

Since Master Qingli dared to call the other person a "human child," he must be of a higher status. The one with the lowest status here turned out to be that powerful-looking "evil spirit"...

So, Nian Nu immediately took action and dragged away the other ghosts, leaving only the two ghosts with stronger ghost skills and Yin magic.

At this time, Zheng Que opened his palm with the word "Ling" written on it and pointed it at the "evil spirit": "Hey!" After receiving the order from Zheng Que, the butcher "evil spirit" immediately stood up, grabbed the butcher knife in his hand, and clearly aimed at killing the two ghosts with stronger ghost skills and Yin magic.

Puff puff……

Amid the loud noise, the grass and trees were broken down, as if green rain was falling all over the field.

The cultivation level of the butcher's "evil spirit" was the sixth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. It was not difficult to deal with the "vengeful spirits" of the fourth and fifth levels of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. In addition, the two ghosts had already been seriously injured by Qingli and were extremely weak, so the battle ended almost instantly.

After dealing with the two ghosts, Zheng Que pointed his palm with the word "Ling" at the butcher's "evil spirit" again: "Collect!"

The butcher's "evil spirit" immediately turned into a streak of blood and sank into his palm.

Afterwards, Zheng Que glanced at the remaining ghosts. The ghost skills and Yin techniques of these ghosts were not strong enough to be transferred to other ghost servants. Their only function was to enhance the Yin energy of other ghost servants.

However, the "evil spirit" he had just collected was going to be sold, so he didn't need these Yin Qi. It would be better to leave these extra Yin Qi to Qingli and Kulan.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately said, "You guys deal with the remaining ghosts."

Bang bang!

Qingli immediately took action and smashed the heads of two fifth-level [Tongue-Pulling Hell] ghosts with two punches. As for the remaining fourth-level [Tongue-Pulling Hell] ghosts, she had no intention of paying any attention to them.

Ku Lan was standing not far away, holding an umbrella, and was equally indifferent. It was obvious that he was not interested in the fourth-level ghost in the [Tongue-Pulling Hell].

Seeing this, Nian Nu tactfully took action.

Ping Pong Pong...

After a while, a cold wind rose from the ground, carrying the yin energy and quickly dispersing in all directions. All the ghosts were eliminated.

Zheng Que glanced at the sky. The shadows of the trees cast long and narrow shadows on the ground. The sun was about to set.

He immediately looked at Qingli and said, "We can go back now."

"What are your plans for this woman you recruited?"

Intend?

What's the plan?
Qingli had no plans in mind at all. When she heard Zheng Que's question, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and replied coldly, "I have my own arrangements!"

"Now, put her into your soul-raising bag."

Put it in the soul-nourishing bag?
This Nian Nu is not his ghost servant...

Zheng Que frowned slightly, but still opened the soul-nourishing bag. After activating his spiritual power, he pointed the bag opening at Nian Nu.

The next moment, Nian Nu turned into a faint light and was put into the bag.

Zheng Que couldn't help but be stunned. This Nian Nu was not his ghost servant, but he could actually be put into the soul-nourishing bag?

Is it because of the imperial decree?

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate. It was getting late and the Taiping County city gates were about to close, so he had to go back quickly.

So, he immediately put Qingli and Kulan into the soul-nourishing bag, quickly checked his disguise, and after confirming that there was no problem, he turned around and rushed towards the county town.
