She and Li Yao both came from another world. How could the Book of Life and Death in this world possibly record their information?
Therefore, no matter how hard Hai Gongzi searched, he could not find her and Li Yao's names.
Therefore, Hai Gongzi had no way of using the Soul-Hooking Brush to take Li Yao's life.
In other words, she had just worried about Li Yao for nothing.
"Young Master Hai, is this brat's name really not on the Book of Life and Death?"
The red fox fairy asked anxiously.
"According to the Book of Life and Death, there are 351 people named Li Yao in this world. In Jinling, there are 39 people named Li Yao, but none of them match the person in front of you."
Hai Gongzi looked completely puzzled.
"how so?"
The red fox fairy asked, puzzled.
After thinking for a moment, Hai Gongzi said, "There are only two possibilities: either he is not human at all, but a ghost, or his name is not Li Yao."
The red fox spirit glanced at Li Yao and said, "He has extremely strong yang energy, so he can't be a ghost. There's only one possibility: this brat is lying to us, and his name isn't Li Yao at all."
Chapter 448 The Book of Life and Death and the Soul-Hooking Pen
Unable to find Li Yao's name through the Book of Life and Death, among the demon kings present, the Wild Dog Demon was the most anxious.
He wished he could immediately send Li Yao to the deepest hell, so that Li Yao would never be reincarnated.
His eyes darted around, and he quickly asked, "Young Master Hai, is there any other way to find out his real name?"
"have!"
After being reminded by the wild dog spirit, Young Master Hai's eyes suddenly lit up. He then reached out and drew out a writing brush that was entirely black.
This is the Soul-Snatching Pen!
Hai Gongzi reached out and grabbed the Soul-Hooking Pen, then spat out a mouthful of deep blue saliva, which landed on the pen's tip.
The next moment, he wielded his brush in the air, and with swift, flowing strokes, he quickly sketched a portrait in the air.
This profile picture looks exactly like Li Yao!
"I never expected that this young master Hai would also be a painter with superb skills!"
Li Yao smiled.
Indeed, Hai Gongzi's portrait of Li Yao, drawn so realistically using the technique of line drawing, is something that no ordinary painter could achieve.
"What is he doing now?"
Xiao Bai asked, looking puzzled.
"I guess he was trying to find my information through facial recognition."
Li Yao smiled faintly.
I never imagined that in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, the underworld would have already implemented such high-tech technology as facial recognition!
"Facial recognition?"
Xiao Bai, Nie Xiaoqian, and the others looked at each other, all of them bewildered.
However, based on the literal meaning of this new term, they can roughly guess what 'facial recognition' means.
Presumably, Young Master Hai wanted to find information about Li Yao in the Book of Life and Death by looking at Li Yao's portrait.
Sure enough, Hai Gongzi used the Soul-Hooking Brush to quickly tap the air, and Li Yao's portrait floated onto the Book of Life and Death.
The Book of Life and Death flashed with golden light, and Li Yao's portrait disappeared into it.
By chanting a spell, Hai Gongzi began to intelligently search through the vast amount of information in the Book of Life and Death.
Li Yao crossed his arms and waited patiently for Young Master Hai.
Meanwhile, the wild dog spirit, the red fox spirit, and other demon kings all looked at Young Master Hai with great anticipation, hoping that he could find information about Li Yao.
Unfortunately, Young Master Hai's face grew increasingly pale, and the beads of sweat on his forehead grew larger and larger.
"Impossible, impossible..."
"How come we can't find his name?"
Young Master Hai was utterly perplexed.
Li Yao asked with a faint smile, "Have you still not found it?"
"Who...who exactly are you?"
Hai Gongzi's expression changed drastically. He stared at Li Yao in horror and asked in a trembling voice, "Why...why isn't your name in the Book of Life and Death?"
The Book of Life and Death, also known as the "Book of Life and Death," is one of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, namely the "Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods," the "Earthly Book of Classic of Mountains and Seas," and the "Man's Book of Life and Death."
The Book of Life and Death is the full name of the Book of Life and Death.
The Book of Life and Death is a register in the underworld that controls the lifespan of all living beings. It records the names of all living beings in the human world, including the lifespan of each person and other creatures in the mortal realm, as well as their lifespan in the underworld. It is mainly used to control life and death, and contains all life information from birth to death.
Logically, Li Yao's information should be able to be found through the Book of Life and Death.
However, after searching for a long time, he found nothing.
Could it be that Li Yao is not a person from the mortal world at all, but a deity from the Heavenly Court?
Li Yao chuckled softly and said, "I've said it before, my name is nowhere to be found in the Book of Life and Death in your hands!"
"Could you be a deity from Heaven?"
Young Master Hai quickly asked.
Suddenly, the Great Sage Tongtian, seated in his palanquin, spoke up: "He is not a deity!"
His tone was very certain, as if he knew the gods in heaven very well.
"Stop guessing! Even if you rack your brains, you'll never figure out the reason!"
Li Yao chuckled softly.
Just as Young Master Hai was momentarily stunned, the ring on his right hand pointed to the Book of Life and Death on Young Master Hai's left hand.
A beam of white light shot out and struck the Book of Life and Death, instantly taking it into his spatial storage.
Although he has a spatial ring, he can store anything in his space.
However, the prerequisite is that the target item must be freed from the control of the holder.
This is why Li Yao only seizes his opponent's magic weapon after defeating them.
In the brief moment that Young Master Hai was stunned, the Book of Life and Death slipped out of his control.
Therefore, Li Yao easily took control of the Book of Life and Death.
Upon obtaining the Book of Life and Death, Li Yao immediately made a copy and then disassembled it.
Spiritual energy +9999!
Divine Soul +9999!
Luck Points +9999!
Unexpectedly, this Book of Life and Death also contains a large amount of spiritual energy, divine soul, and luck points.
Actually, this isn't hard to explain!
Because the Book of Life and Death records the life information of all living beings in this world, it is a top-tier magical treasure in the underworld.
Because he obtained a large amount of spiritual energy and divine soul this time, his realm was raised once again, reaching the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm.
"Huh? My Book of Life and Death!"
Young Master Hai cried out in surprise.
He never expected that the Book of Life and Death would disappear into thin air just because he was momentarily stunned.
To his surprise, another beam of white light shot over and struck the Soul-Hooking Pen in his right hand.
The Soul-Hooking Pen vanished instantly.
"Oh dear, Young Master Hai, how could you forget? This kid's ring can collect other people's magical treasures."
The wild dog spirit quickly shouted a reminder.
After being reminded by the wild dog spirit, the demon kings, including Caiwei Old Demon and Mountain Demon, immediately hid their magical treasures, fearing that Li Yao would take them away.
"hateful!"
Young Master Hai was furious.
Despite his elegant demeanor, the veins on his body were bulging, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
He has never been so embarrassed or lost so much face since his debut.
He quickly bowed to the Great Sage Tongtian in the palanquin and said, "Great Sage, you must avenge us, eliminate this brat, and reclaim our magic treasure."
"Yes, Great Sage, this brat is truly despicable and must not be let off lightly!"
The wild dog spirit also hurriedly pleaded.
The red fox demon, the female demon, the old demon Caiwei, and the old demon Shanxiao all pleaded with the Great Sage Tongtian to eliminate Li Yao.
"Don't worry, everyone. This thief is extremely arrogant. With me here, I will not let him continue to be so rampant!"
The Great Sage Tongtian's voice was booming, carrying an extremely powerful confidence.
It was as if, no matter how powerful Li Yao was, he was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.
The next moment, a powerful aura emanated from the palanquin.
The gauze curtains surrounding the palanquin were billowing in the strong wind.
A golden ray of light shot into the sky from the palanquin.
A small pagoda flew into the sky and grew larger and larger until it became a giant pagoda tens of feet tall.
The giant tower spun rapidly in mid-air, its base facing Li Yao and his group.
