Chapter 6057: How Heartless
âWhat is this?â Six-style saw something and sensed a connection along with an indescribable sense of familiarity.
It resembled a walnut that had been cracked before due to the withered shell. It had lost its original color as well.
âItâs nothing, just something pawned by a brat named Seven-kill. Heâs probably dead so thatâs why itâs still here.â Although the shop owner had no love for Six-style, he still answered out of respect for Li Qiye.
âSeven-kill. Seven-kill Grand Emperor? He left it here?â Six-style was surprised.
He was once the strongest emperor of Enigma and was on the verge of breaking the limit to become a primal ancestor.
However, Immortal Suppression started a war to end the rising Enigma and successfully destroyed them along with Seven-kill.
âWhat emperor? He was a poor wretch when he came here and pawned his beloved astral core. Still hasnât returned to buy it back.â The owner said.
Six-style never knew this part of history before.
âWhat did he get for it?â She was curious.
âHah, what else but money? He ran off to see a ghost, not a good thing at all, poor boy.â The owner said.
Six-style had a perplexed expression because the owner was a ghost at all.
âItâs a fiend, an evil emissary, pah, very unlucky.â The owner spat with disdain.
âUnlucky?â Li Qiye asked.
He smiled right away when it came to Li Qiye and said: âYoung Noble, the old manâs aura is unbearable, definitely the most hated figure in our major ghost market. He leaves a stench everywhere, haha, the opposite of his great smell when he first came. He sold himself and turned into a frightening fiend.â
âSweet smell?â Six-style didnât know why he used this description for a ghost.
âOh, this thing? Pawned by a brat named Six-sense.â He recalled its origin and said: âFrom what I saw, he couldnât endure much longer and wanted money for recovery medicines. He said this was the last thing left behind by his beloved.â
âSix-sense Primal Ancestor?!â Six-style was shocked since there was only one cultivator with this title.
His pride was only matched by his talent. He became the only person to learn the dao in the major ghost market and made it to the primal level.
âHe was on the verge of death and needed more vitality. If he couldnât get any, he would have become a ghost.â The owner shook his head.
âWhy hasnât he returned for this?â She glanced at the handkerchief. The primal ancestor should have returned for this keepsake.
âWho knows? He would need another beloved item or pay one hundred times the original amount.â He laughed.
âHow heartless.â She was left speechless.
âThereâs a price to pay for pawning something so precious. Consequences.â He said.
She had no response because this was logical.
âIt might have been the most precious once but when he pawned it out, its importance disappeared. He made his choice.â Li Qiye said.
âRight. âShe murmured.
Li Qiye picked up a pendant resembling a bell or a cage. Within was a light, inconspicuous at first but with enough attention, it resembled a galaxy.
âThis thing...â Li Qiye said: âWho sealed such power and fortune in this thing only to pawn it here?â
âItâs one of my prized collections.â The owner said excitedly: âIt wasnât pawned, I bought it from another ghost. The guy was sold by a good friend to a devil and paid a heavy price to escape.â
âBaihui.â Li Qiye knew this person - a progenitor who was tricked by Jiao Heng. When he escaped, he spent his life hunting Jiao Heng.
