Chapter 692: Chapter 418: The Rover River Remains the Original

When he heard this number, the heart of Lord Bertram skipped a beat. Good heavens! Collecting taxes in a market was indeed the most profitable. He had been painstakingly scratching a living here and there, and the wealth he had accumulated till now wasn’t even a fraction of the Ghost Market...

After the King of Souls finished his report, he finally said, "The whole Ghost Market belongs to you, Honored Lord. Please instruct us on how to allocate this money."

Owen Bertram’s first response was to have all of it sent to him, then build another twenty-five Celestial Warships, and lay the Nanni Nation to ruins!

But he soon calmed down and, through Little Loach, he set his sights on the entire Ghost Market. Some loopholes and malpractices gradually emerged before his eyes.

These loopholes and malpractices were not about the organizational structure of the Ghost Market, but purely about the Ghost Zone itself.

In short, the original foundation of the Ghost Market could not accommodate so many Unique Cultivators. The initial structure of the Ghost Market was very stable, and if it was self-contained, it would completely hide in the void between heaven and earth, and even a Grandmaster of the Sixth Realm couldn’t find it.

But that structure only covered a radius of seven or eight miles and held several thousand Ghost Beings. But now, it had expanded more than ten times. The population had increased drastically, which was too much for the Ghost Zone to bear.

If they didn’t make changes soon, the entire Ghost Market would collapse before long!

The Honored Lord contemplated for a moment, then said, "Your sight is short-sighted!"

Consequently, the various loopholes and defects in the Ghost Market automatically surfaced, marked by a pale green divine light by the Honored Lord. The others didn’t need him to explain; they were all Tier-6 Great Demon, and naturally understood. For a moment, the four of them knelt down in shame, acknowledging their mistake: "We have realized our mistake."

The Honored Lord snorted coldly, "I understand your thoughts. You want to cut all unnecessary expenses, so when I ask about it, you can report a very astonishing number, making it seem like you’ve achieved great results ── do you think of me as such a miser?!"

In simple terms, the King of Souls and the others were aware of the current issues of the Ghost Market. However, they wanted to present a nicer "achievement" in front of the Honored Lord. This achievement was the balance of tax collection. Hence, they left out the cost of upgrading the Ghost Market. If it could still be used, they continued to make do with it.

"Our Lord, please forgive us. We are foolish." The King of Souls and the other three could not sweat, or else they would be drenched in cold sweat by now.

Lord Bertram used the Breaking Void Divine Ability to send over the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman.

Upon the appearance of the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman, the bodies of the King of Souls and the others shuddered even more: Divine Powers! Moreover, an extraordinarily brilliant one of space, what kind of hierarchy could display it at will? The Honored Lord is indeed unfathomable.

When they looked at the Tiger Talisman, their expressions became even more serious. It was the natural hostility between beings of the same stage!

The Tiger Talisman split into two halves, and a massive Ghost Army swarmed out, descending into the Ghost Market. The leaders were five Tier-6 Great Demons. Not only was their number one head more than King of Souls and his party, but each of them also held strength comparable to the King of Souls, superior to the three Corpse Fiends.

Hundreds of thousands of Ghost Soldiers looked around in confusion. This Ghost Market gave them a sense of familiarity. They liked it here.

Owen Bertram had already secretly instructed the Chaotic Demon to cooperate. These Ghost Soldiers were released, and the Honored Lord’s voice echoed again, "Merge the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman with the Ghost Market!"

The faces of the King of Souls and the rest turned pale. They remembered that the Honored Lord once said he would bring a Ghost Army and asked them to prepare in advance, so they wouldn’t be surpassed by outsiders.

But they didn’t expect the Ghost Army brought by the Honored Lord to be even stronger than they had anticipated! But they couldn’t and didn’t dare to blame the Honored Lord, because he had given them chances in advance, encouraging them to strive to improve themselves. Unfortunately, the King of Souls ultimately couldn’t advance to the Tier-7 stage.

The Commander’s Token broke the void once again, overlooking the entire Ghost Market from above. Under the secret cooperation of the Chaotic Demon, the Ghost Market and the Tiger Talisman began to merge.

The Tiger Talisman, in essence, was similar to the Ghost Market, also a void that held Ghost Beings, containing a vast expanse of the Ghost Army Camp.

This void could stably accommodate hundreds of thousands of Ghost Soldiers, more structurally stable than the current Ghost Market.

Under the bright moon, the two Ghost Beings’ voids overlapped and combined, gradually accomplishing a significant change on the virtual plane.

The Ghost Army was strictly disciplined, standing still without moving. They liked this place, and if their barracks could merge with this place, they would be willing to accept it.

But the hundreds of thousands of residents in the Ghost Market were fearful and uneasy. They didn’t know what was happening and even wanted to escape.

Owen Bertram didn’t speak anymore, and Little Loach just coldly watched the King of Souls and the rest.

The King of Souls, after a lot of hesitation, finally grit his teeth and soared up into the sky, overlooking the entire Ghost Market. He said to all the residents, "Don’t panic. Our Honored Lord has descended, and is improving this place. The future Ghost Market will be more stable."

With the King of Souls calming everyone down, the Treasure Ghost Judge quickly sent out the Ghost Market’s cavalry to maintain order everywhere. Only then did the chaos gradually subside.

The combination of the Ghost Market and the Ghost Army Tiger Talisman might not be good news for the King of Souls and the rest, but the King of Souls still made the right choice. Even if they didn’t cooperate, the Honored Lord could still forcibly merge them. Moreover, in the future, there was a very high chance of choosing one Tier-6 Great Ghost to replace the King of Souls.

It took most of the night to integrate the Ghost Market and the Tiger Talisman into one. Owen Bertram secretly checked it out, the structure of the Ghost Market had become more stable, but there were still some areas that needed strengthening.
