Chapter 762 - 762 765 Ghost Market

Chapter 762: Chapter 765: Ghost Market Chapter 762: Chapter 765: Ghost Market “Charge!” the man in the green robe immediately said.

Then, the three of them took to their heels and ran.

The chicken feather in their hands was thrown out.

Boom…

As the chicken feather, soaked with black dog blood, was thrown, it exploded upon the fierce ghosts, with clumps of rotting flesh falling from the sky, and the air was filled with the stench of decay. Xiao Han pinched his nose, fearing that the corpse poison might invade his body.

The sight stunned the wandering wild ghosts, and their instinct was to dodge. Thus, it presented an opportunity for the three men. Seizing it, they dashed out swiftly. In the blink of an eye, they had run out from among the hundreds of wandering wild ghosts.

However, just as they broke free, the fierce ghost in red clothing suddenly appeared in front of them.

With wolves ahead and tigers behind, everyone was dumbfounded in this perilous moment.

A group of people stood terrified, their eyes wide and mouths agape.

“What do we do?” asked the old Taoist in yellow robe.

The man in the green robe was pale, completely devoid of color, which only seemed to suggest that there was nothing but a dead end now. The three of them together were no match for the fierce ghost in red clothing, and behind them, there was the endless pursuit of wandering wild ghosts.

The fierce ghost in red revealed a strange smile.

“A scheme, it was all his scheme!” yelled the yellow-robed Taoist in anger.

“What can we do?” The man in the green robe, feeling helpless, said, “This fierce ghost in red has awakened its spiritual wisdom; we are no match for him.”

“So, we just sit here and wait for death?” asked the yellow-robed Taoist.

“We have no choice but to risk our lives.” The man in the green robe’s expression darkened, apparently ready to fight desperately.

At that moment, the cat on Xiao Han’s shoulder suddenly let out a fierce cry.

This roar instantly intimidated the fierce ghost in red which looked anxiously at the cat on Xiao Han’s shoulder. As for the wandering wild ghosts behind them, they immediately dispersed, running off in all directions and vanished clean in a flash.

The fierce ghost in red, in a panic, cast a fleeting glance at Xiao Han and hurriedly fled.

Just moments before, they had been surrounded and pursued by hundreds of wandering wild ghosts and targeted by the fierce ghost in red, but now, all these ghostly beings had disappeared as if they had never been there.

“What… what just happened?” the yellow-robed Taoist asked in astonishment.

“Who knows!” the man in the green robe shrugged, then said with an embarrassed look, “Maybe… maybe they got scared off by this cat!”

“Cat?” The yellow-robed Taoist looked at the cat, frowning, then said, “What kind of cat is this?”

“Who knows!” the man in the green robe shrugged, then said, “I have no idea what kind of cat this is, let’s hurry and go. If the fierce ghost in red comes back, it’ll be troublesome.”

“Yeah!” the yellow-robed Taoist nodded repeatedly.

After that, the three of them rapidly advanced through the fog.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few wandering wild ghosts, but they did not run into any green-robed fierce ghosts, nor the fierce ghost in red again. The rest of the journey was relatively smooth. Soon, they saw a city in the distance.

Outside the city, there was a black river, with water so dark and thick, it looked almost like ink flowing in the river to those unaware.

“We finally made it.” The yellow-robed Taoist exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, “Here, we needn’t fear the fierce ghost in red anymore.”

“Why?” asked Xiao Han.

“This is Ghost City,” laughed the yellow-robed Taoist. “Here, under the jurisdiction of Ghost City, no private fights are allowed. Anyone caught will be taken away by the ghost soldiers.”

Xiao Han did not respond but instead gazed at the river water.

A black bridge extended from the shore all the way to Ghost City, directly crossing the black river.

By the side, an old woman in a green robe was sitting with a bucket of clear water, murmuring weakly, “Cross the Naihe Bridge, drink Meng Po Soup… ”

Next to her, wandering wild ghosts continued to cross the bridge, and before crossing, each drank a ladle of Meng Po Soup. They lined up in a long queue, and of course, some people just crossed directly over the bridge head. These were clearly humans, and some were demonkind, all headed to the Ghost Market today to hunt for treasures.

The old Taoist in the yellow robe smiled and said, “That’s Meng Po.”

“Is that Meng Po Soup?” Xiao Han asked.

“Yes!” The yellow-robed Taoist smiled and said, “Drinking this soup helps one forget past and present lives, then begin reincarnation anew.”

“Is this really true?” Xiao Han asked in disbelief.

“This is the River Styx,” the Old Taoist in Yellow Robe walked onto the Naihe Bridge and said, “The water beneath the River Styx is a very Yin substance, beneficial for refining some magical treasures. Unfortunately, no one can scoop up the water from the River Styx.”

“Why?” Xiao Han asked curiously.

“Because the water of the River Styx is highly poisonous,” the Old Taoist in Yellow Robe shook his head and said, “What a pity, such good water, yet it can’t be used.”

Xiao Han glanced at the River Styx, which had plenty of water, but it was not easy to get down to the river as there were cliffs on both sides, and it was a few dozen meters down to the river. It was impossible for ordinary people to get down there. Even if someone dared to go down, they might accidentally fall into the River Styx and be doomed to never reincarnate.

Xiao Han stood on the Naihe Bridge, took a look at the River Styx, then closely followed the Old Taoist in Yellow Robe and others into the Ghost City.

The Ghost City was majestic and powerful, inhabited by both humans and ghosts. There were many Fierce Ghosts in Red Clothing who, upon seeing humans, their eyes lit up, but unfortunately, they didn’t dare to make trouble here. In the Ghost City, there were Yin-Yang People, Cultivators, demons, and Ghosts and Monsters. Here, everyone was equal and absolutely no foolery was allowed. If anyone dared to make trouble, not only would the ghost soldiers not let them go, but even the master of the Ghost City would not let them off.

As he crossed the Naihe Bridge, Xiao Han felt an ancient sigh coming from within his body.

This scared Xiao Han greatly, even the Ghost King on his shoulder’s fur bristled up.

The cat immediately stood up, its tail stiff, and asked in astonishment, “What sound was that?”

“I don’t know either!” Xiao Han shook his head.

“It’s… It’s the sound from inside your body!” the Ghost King hurriedly said.

“It seems so, but…” Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then said, “It seems to have stopped.”

“Damn it,” the Ghost King couldn’t help but curse.

“We indeed saw a lot of ghosts today,” Xiao Han joked in return.

The Man in Green Robe shouted at Xiao Han, “Xiao Han, hurry up and follow, or you might not be able to go back later.”

“Okay!” Xiao Han didn’t dare to think too much and rushed to catch up.

Upon entering the Ghost City, he could see the eerie scene: a main artery street filled with the living dead. On both sides were houses of ghosts, the sinister Ghost Creatures standing on both sides of the road, looking very frightening and causing great panic. There were the Long-tongued Ghosts, the fear-inducing Headless Ghosts…

There were also some humans on the streets, but these individuals were either Yin-Yang People, Cultivators, or Ghost Hunters. In short, these people all possessed special abilities. Otherwise, ordinary people would absolutely not dare come here, and even if they did, they would likely die of fright, their livers and gallbladders split with fear.

After crossing the street, they finally arrived at the Ghost Market.

The Ghost Market was large, composed of several well-organized streets. Only the main arterial street had storefronts. The doorways had clerks welcoming guests, and the shops were filled with all kinds of dazzling goods. However, these things were of no use to Xiao Han. The Yellow-robed Taoist and the Man in Green Robe quickly crossed this main street, coming to some stalls where goods were directly thrown on the ground for people to pick from. There were various bizarre magical treasures, strange Magic Artifacts, Longswords imbued with Spiritual Power, mirrors that could show past and present lives, and various powerful Red Talismans, Purple Talismans, even Gold Talismans…

When the Yellow-robed Taoist saw a Gold Talisman, his eyes widened.

“How do we trade for this?” the Old Taoist asked.

In the Ghost Market, there was no uniform currency, and bartering was common. As long as you brought out something that satisfied the other party, the deal was considered done.

“What do you have?” asked the stall owner, a Fierce Ghost in Red Clothing with blood-red eyes as he glanced at the Old Taoist.

“I…” The Yellow-robed Taoist hesitated for a moment and took out a black box from his body. He opened the box, inside was a black Elixir. Treating it like a treasure, he said, “This is a Marrow-Cleansing Pill!”

Smack…

The Fierce Ghost in Red Clothing threw the box back at the Yellow-robed Taoist dismissively and said, “Not trading!”

The Old Taoist, feeling indignant, walked away with the Marrow-Cleansing Pill.

The Man in Green Robe was interested in a Longsword, a sword with Spiritual Power. Although it was a Broken Sword, it still possessed Spiritual Sense, meaning the sword’s previous owner must have attained a high Realm. For some unknown reason, the sword was broken and abandoned by its owner. If taken back and properly repaired, it still would be a good sword, though not as powerful as during its Peak Period.

“How do we trade for this?” the Man in Green Robe asked.

The other party looked at him and said, “That depends on what you have!”

The other party was a demon, but had already transformed into human form.

The Man in Green Robe hesitated for a moment and took out a Red Talisman from his pocket. The other party shook his head. The Man in Green Robe gritted his teeth and took out another Red Talisman, but the other party still shook his head. The Man in Green Robe was taken aback and became anxious, “How many do you need to make the deal?”

“The quality of these Red Talismans is not high, I need at least ten to trade!” the other party glanced at the Man in Green Robe.

“Impossible!” the Man in Green Robe exclaimed in urgency, “The quality of these Red Talismans is very high, anyone with clear eyes would know. This is just a Broken Sword after all.”

“Though it’s a Broken Sword, the Spiritual Sense is still there!” the other party smiled and said, “Otherwise, you wouldn’t be interested in it, right?”

This was the truth. If it were an unreliable Broken Sword, probably no one would want it. However, precisely because it still had 明灵识 inside, its value had skyrocketed. But, it was still just a Broken Sword with Spiritual Sense. Getting a high price for it would definitely not be easy. Moreover, repairing it would not be easy either and would require a great cost.
