Chapter 326: Chapter 145: The Order of Ghost Market, Twenty-four Generals; Kicking the Gate, the Strongest Physique_2

"This Honored Guest Token is prepared for you."

"As for this payment for the young musician’s arm, ha... you have already paid,"

Li Guanyi looked at the Marquis Bu Ye in front of him, caressing the token, and said,

"May I ask when was the bounty concerning the black markets outside the Netherworld Ghost Market posted?"

Marquis Bu Ye, caressing his tea cup, smiled slightly and said, "Just now."

"I see, now I understand," Li Guanyi nodded.

Pulling his sleeves across, he tucked the token away, saw that it was already dawn, and thought to himself, "Then may I try using this ghost market?"

"Of course," said the Marquis Bu Ye warmly.

He summoned someone to explain in greater detail each area of the ghost market, Li Guanyi halted, looking at the place designated for information trade. The Ghost Messenger said, "You can record the information you wish to know and place it in the box."

"Afterward, the ghost market will clarify the information for you."

"Then it will be returned to the box. Those investigating the information will not know your identity. In fact, we Ghost Messengers do not share information among ourselves to ensure the safety of our guests’ identities."

"As for the value of the information itself, it necessitates payment in gold, treasures, or information of equivalent value,"

Li Guanyi tried it out; he silently wrote down several generals’ names, including two who were scattered outside by Taiping Duke among his twenty-four generals, with the others being generals who had left Chen Country for various reasons, and then put them into the box.

Regardless of whether those twenty-four generals were willing to assist him, he still subconsciously wanted to ascertain their whereabouts and safety.

Many honored guests try out the Netherworld Ghost Market for the first time.

The Ghost Messenger, having seen it all before, merely nodded and said, "Then, three days later, you can come to the ghost market for your results. At that time, based on the provider’s willingness, a fee will be charged, with the ghost market taking a twenty percent commission. I wanted to inform you about this in advance."

With everything concluded, Li Guanyi left the Ghost Market, his sword slung at his waist and his robe still stained with blood. He walked away from the Ghost Market slowly, the morning mist falling on his body after the rain, bringing a slight chill. He left the street, turned back at the street corner, and saw,

a thin mist shrouded the Ghost Market, blurring the view as if it were a dreamlike realm of spirits and ghosts.

Turning around, he strode off, stopping to eat breakfast at the street corner; the warm porridge settled in his stomach along with two steamed buns, he exhaled a breath of turbid air while listening to the chatter of people, the events of yesterday seemingly in the past.

Whenever Li Guanyi was in a bad mood, he found his appetite increased, and feeling calmer now, his mind clear as the rising sun, with two more days to go, the quarterfinals of the tournament awaited, two fights each day, his battles would be on the morrow, yet his gaze caught sight of many more figures from the Martial World,

all were armed, their foreheads marked with a sharpness of spirit.

Among them, many were of significant cultivation.

Li Guanyi, currently at the Second Layer Heaven state and a colonel in the military, considered a core force, glanced over and noticed quite a few Martial World individuals similar in realm to himself, none of them young, and some even higher in cultivation than himself.

This affair in Jiangzhou City, though a whirlwind involving multiple countries, centered primarily on the countries themselves. The Martial World, typically distinct from the Court, surprisingly had many robust Martial World individuals appearing.

In one spot alone, several individuals with strong martial skills could be seen,

possibly meaning that more noteworthy and skilled masters had come to Jiangzhou City.

Not to mention, there was the Sixth Grandmaster "You must return the weapons", the third Grandmaster from the Western Regions, the living Buddha—not among the ten greatest Grandmasters but sincere in Martial Arts—Chen Chengbi, and the Princess who could summon snow in the palace with but a thought.

The latter two, in their days, were also known as the protectors of the National Protection Manor,

Li Guanyi suddenly remembered what Yue had said,

About the heroes of the Martial World coming to Jiangzhou City to save General Yue,

For this, Yue had even given Li Guanyi the Tiger Talisman of his Great Halberd Soldiers as a token of trust.

Witnessing those valiant Martial Artists, Li Guanyi raised his hand to his forehead, feeling that the more he understood about the situation in Jiangzhou City, the more chaotic and intertwined it seemed, drawing him deeper like a whirlpool.

Suddenly, the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form appeared on Li Guanyi’s shoulder,

Li Guanyi paused in surprise—at the unmoving creature that usually didn’t show itself without significant reason—only to see the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form start moving off his shoulder towards a group of Martial World individuals and quietly settle there,

Li Guanyi discovered that the Dharma Form seemed to expand his perception; he didn’t need to strain his ears to clearly hear the discussions there:

"Have you heard? The grandson of Sword Saint, that Little Sword Saint Xu Huixiang, is he also competing?"

"Yeah, it’s true. The disciple of the Grandmaster ’You must return the weapons’ is a royal, albeit from a less esteemed branch, and his participation isn’t inappropriate. But it’s a pity, the Sword Saint roamed freely across the Martial World, and his grandson is now serving under the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace."

"You might not know this,"

someone chuckled, lowering their voice, "I heard that the reason the Sword Saint allowed him to come is because of something incredibly precious belonging to Chen Kingdom’s Royal Family, supposedly hidden inside the Book Collection Pavilion."
