Chapter 6071: The Bastard Left Me Here
âBut you do know about his past self?â Li Qiye asked Water Emissary while glancing at Fog Emissary.
âI do feel a familiarity between us, were we acquaintances once?â Fog Emissary asked.
âOf course not, you are you and I am just an underwater ghost.â Water Emissary shook his head.
âIâm talking about my past self.â Fog Emissary pursued the matter.
âYour past self or external matters had nothing to do with me.â Water Emissary denied.
Fog Emissary didnât buy it and gritted his teeth, thinking of a way to pry it out of him.
âBack to Old Pact, what happened next?â Li Qiye wanted to know the process.
âNo one was left alive, perhaps only the guide who led them here. I do not know the details since I was hiding underwater. Nevertheless, a monstrous weapon activated, and in my opinion, it was strong enough to kill an overlord.â Water Emissary said with dread.
âGot it.â Li Qiye found out that the progenitors used their ace card and said: âIt was blocked successfully, the only reason why your market is still around.â
âYes, so lucky.â Water Emissary patted his chest before smiling brightly: âItâs nice to be alive, even for a ghost. And the power was the reason why I said the ghost market wasnât involved, it was just too much to handle.â
âHow nice of you all.â Li Qiye said: âWhat was the reason for establishing a battlefield here?â
âThatâs not something I can answer, Sir.â Water Emissary smiled and glanced over at Fog Emissary: âHe has the most knowledge out of anyone in the market so if he doesnât know...â
âIâm too new of a ghost to know about it.â Fog Emissary responded.
âHow did you become an emissary?â Water Emissary asked.
âSplash!â He dived into the water and the river disappeared.
âWhere are you going?!â Fog Emissary had more questions so he also gave chase, leaving behind Li Qiye and Six-style.
âWhat should we do now, Young Noble?â Six-style asked.
âTo Heavenfall to figure out the secret behind this.â Li Qiye looked ahead and said.
âWe must cross through Forest of Thoughts first.â Six-style said.
âThatâs fine, weâre getting close.â Li Qiye smiled.
The major ghost market could be divided into three sections - the market itself, Forest of Thoughts, and Heavenfall.
The market was the main region where transactions took place between cultivators and ghosts. Forest of Thoughts was outside - a mountainous and verdant area with no end in sight.
As for Heavenfall, it had nothing outside of perils. Therefore, even the grand ghosts refrained from visiting.
Li Qiye and Six-style entered Forest of Thoughts and saw no ghosts. This looked just like the regular world.
Lush mountains and dense forests greeted them. How could such a peaceful place filled with natural beauty be associated with ghosts?
However, this mysterious place had a particular belief - strong memories evoke echoes. Cultivators entering with strong feelings could resonate with the forest.
For example, if one were to be obsessed with finding a spirit grass, they could actually find it in the forest. This seemed great on the surface but in reality, there was a price to pay. Dangers might loom near the grass, perhaps a ghost.
This strange phenomenon aside, the forest was known for its temples that could be summoned with strong thoughts. A temple containing an alchemy field might appear to the person wanting to find a spirit grass.
