Chapter 6105: The Weapon
âRise.â Li Qiye sighed: âSince I am already here, I might as well spare you the agony. However, you will continue to shoulder the deserved karma.â
âThank you, Progenitor, thank you!â The temple lord became ecstatic since he couldnât ask for more: âI accept the karma, it is what I sowed with my pursuit.â
After all, this temple was still an amazing location for crafting. He would be more than happy living here without being tortured by the tribulation. Being a ghost was his choice, his karma, and a perfect outcome.
âFirst, since you are connected to the rules and laws of the ghost market, you surely know of its past.â Li Qiye changed the topic.
âGreat question, Progenitor. I might have the most memories regarding the rules of the market out of anyone.â He said.
âNot Ghost Monarch?â Six-style found this surprising.
âWell, sure, because he is made from laws. There are cons to that, not to mention he had been cleansed before. Although I am connected to the laws, I am still external.â He said.
âCleansed, what do you mean? Who did it?â She became startled.
âFrom the battle.â Li Qiye said.
âYes, Progenitor, others refer to it as Old Pact Strike.â He said.
âSo you witnessed the battle?â She happily asked.
The rules forced the ghost market to go into hiding during the battle but if the temple lord was connected, he might have seen something.
âAs I said, I am only connected, not a part of it. I couldnât and still canât observe the whole market.â He said.
âYou still had some awareness.â Li Qiye said.
âYes, Progenitor, I felt the commotions.â He said.
âStart from the beginning with the market disappearing.â Li Qiye said.
âYes, as they were losing ground, they finally unleashed their weapon.â His heart beat faster as he recalled: âThe move nearly pierced the whole market. This was when the lawsâ controller took action, borrowing the marketâs power to stop it.â
âWho could do such a thing?â She wondered.
âThe legendary immortals, two of them are related to the market.â He said.
âRumor has it they couldnât leave, right? So how did they get there?â She asked.
âA representative.â Li Qiye stroked his chin and said: âInteresting, grooming disciple and choosing representative. This wasnât the end of it.â
âThe shockwaves swept through the hidden market. As for the summoned laws, they were wiped out, which was why I mentioned Ghost Monarch being cleansed before. The new one is young.â He said: âThe oddest part is during the stalemate, another power erupted among Gao Yangâs group.â
âHow strong was this one?â She asked.
âIf I have to describe it, I would put it on the same level as the legendary immortals.â He said.
âStronger than the borrowed force of the market?â She asked.
âIt was strange. The market lawsâ eruption couldnât be weaker than the new power but it didnât last long. Perhaps the source was cut after a while.â He pondered before responding.
âThe immortal-like power didnât last long either.â Li Qiye interjected.
âIt is as if you were there in person, Progenitor.â He said: âYes, the new power reached the limit in the blink of an eye but weakened considerably later.â
âStill lacked mastery.â Li Qiye said.
âI do not know who wielded these two powers but Iâm positive they didnât come via cultivation.â He said.
âWhat happened next?â Six-style asked.
âThe two powers grievously injured Gao Yangâs group.â He said before pausing.
