Chapter 452: Chapter 351: There are spies! _3

They flew through the sky and quickly arrived at Jaafar County. As expected, they searched along the two banks of the River Water and saw a brightly lit area at the riverside in the distance, from which the sounds of celebration could be faintly heard. It seemed to be a bustling and joyful place!

They landed on the peak of a mountain and stopped their Flying Sword. Household Guard A saluted and said, "Master, I’ll go ahead." He then walked down the mountain alone, arriving at a hidden spot about seven or eight miles outside the Ghost Market. After hiding his body, he chanted a spell and performed a hand gesture. A hazy, black shadow emerged from his head and landed on the ground, its aura then transferred to the shadow, making it lively and indistinguishable from any other ghost, before heading towards the entrance of the Ghost Market.

...

King of Souls was in closed-door cultivation; he had already sworn an oath in front of the Honored Lord that if he couldn’t break through to Tire-7 before the Ghost Army arrived, he would lose the entire Ghost Zone.

However, some were slacking off, such as the Drowned Ghost Princess, who would wander around the River Water every night, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Respected Master, and using the opportunity to cultivate using the water’s spiritual energy.

Another was the Corpse Fiend, who had been feeling lost lately. Ever since he met his own kind, he felt strange inside.

When he first saw the little girl, he ran away on the spot, but he couldn’t help but remember the unusual creature afterward. So, he would think about visiting her, as they were the only two of their kind in the vast Ghost Zone.

However, for some reason, the girl was not in the Ghost Zone recently, and he heard she had been taken away by Lord. The Corpse Fiend was furious with Lord but couldn’t speak ill of him as it was a matter between a grandfather and his granddaughter.

So, he would often go to "Ten Percent Pawn" to take a glance and then return with a lost look.

Before the King of Souls closed his doors for cultivation, he had instructed the other three rulers: if they were unwilling to cultivate behind closed doors, they should work together to manage the Ghost Zone well, as the Honored Lord had said to expand the Ghost Zone as much as possible.

Of the three, only the quite ambitious Lord of the Skeleton Sea seriously wanted to improve the Ghost Zone. Under the support of his Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, Butcher Maxwell and Bat Taoist, he put in a huge effort... only for the Ghost Zone to remain unchanged.

The only useful one was the Treasure Ghost Judge, who implemented various policies, causing the Ghost Zone to visibly expand.

Household Guard A successfully infiltrated the Ghost Zone. As he looked around secretly, he grew excited: the scale of this Ghost Market was truly vast, with more than ten crisscrossing streets, each bustling with activity. Countless Little Ghosts of Tier-2 and Tier-3 were in sight, amounting to at least tens of thousands!

Besides that, there were also twenty or thirty thousand other spirits. He had not expected such a good place to exist within the Wood Dynasty!

He didn’t buy anything, only went around asking for information, mainly probing about the abilities and temperaments of the four rulers of the Ghost Market.

However, the atmosphere in the Ghost Market was not good lately. People would turn cold and ignore him when he didn’t buy anything but asked questions.

After asking all over the place and not finding any answers, Household Guard A scolded the declining morals of the world in his heart. He looked up and saw a grand-looking storefront with a plaque hanging above it: Ten Percent Pawn.

Big and little ghosts were entering and leaving the store, which seemed bustling, and all of them looked satisfied when they left. There were quite a few waiters inside, serving everyone enthusiastically. Household Guard A thought this place looked good and believed he could get some information, so he stepped inside.

Lord had been away from the shop lately, and Bat Taoist couldn’t handle everything himself. As a result, they had hired four assistants to help with the business.

As soon as Household Guard A entered, one of the assistants greeted him, "Would you like to buy or sell?"

"Just looking, I’m just looking."

The assistant immediately changed to a half-smiling expression: "Well, today isn’t the day for that. Our Lord is not here, so you can’t freeload his appraisal technique."

This had become a joke in the Ghost Market, and the other customers and assistants laughed, leaving Household Guard A utterly confused.

Ignoring him, the assistant went to serve someone else. Feeling neglected, Household Guard A was about to curse under his breath when he saw a Taoist walk in, with everyone eagerly greeting him, "Second Shopkeeper is back."

Household Guard A quickly approached and struck up a conversation, "I just arrived here and am unfamiliar with the customs of this Ghost Market. Are there any rules?"

Just back from visiting the Lord of the Skeleton Sea, Bat Taoist replied perfunctorily. Household Guard A then asked, "How powerful are the four rulers here, and what are their temperaments like? I intend to settle here but am unfamiliar with the place, so I can’t make up my mind."

Having lived a long life, Bat Taoist could sense something was off as soon as Household Guard A spoke. While dodging his questions, he secretly informed the Lord of the Skeleton Sea: Sir, there’s a fellow who doesn’t look like a good ghost!

The Lord of the Skeleton Sea had called Bat Taoist over today because he felt "suppressed" by the Treasure Ghost Judge recently - of course, the Treasure Ghost Judge was oblivious to this. He wanted his right-hand man to come up with a solution on how to turn the tables.

The three of them discussed for a long time, with Butcher Maxwell being clueless and Bat Taoist having no good ideas. They could only comfort the Lord of the Skeleton Sea with vague words.
