Lord Zhang Fei-Chapter 458 - The Ghost Market
458 The Ghost Market
Seeing Lu Xiaolong’s happy look, Tang Feng knew it was the right time to come, and he couldn’t help pondering. “Due to the limited time, I can only bring more than a hundred people. The number of the other party is unknown, and there must be at least two or three Hundreds of people. So, the more people we go, the better. And, we need to have a stronger cultivation.”
“En.” Lu Xiaolong thought about it for a moment, then said immediately. “Tang Duozhu wait a moment. I’ll see how many people are in the house before deciding.”
Tang Feng nodded immediately, and sat on the chair without moving. Lu Wenfeng interjected, “Father, do you want me to go to the academy to find some people?”
Lu Xiaolong couldn’t help laughing and said. “That’s not necessary, we will take care of the organization.”
After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaolong turned his head and shouted to the side room next to him, “Where is the lead horse?”
With a flash of light, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of the three of them out of thin air.
Space Teleportation Stone? Lu Wenfeng was shocked. When did space teleportation stones become so common? Fei had one, Xuan Ming had one, and today another one appeared.
Then, Lu Xiaolong say to the people. “Lead the horse, send the order down, and immediately call the brothers who are above the fifth level and above to come here before dark. And tell me the exact number of people and cultivation levels. Hurry up and come back.”
Afterwards, he raised his hand and threw out a jade ring. This was the proof that Lu Xiaolong gave orders.
.....
The man took the jade ring and responded, and then, with a flash of inspiration, he disappeared in front of the three of them again.
Xuanbing City was located at the northernmost end of the area controlled by humans. Going out of the city and not far north, you would enter the primeval forest. From here onwards was the area ruled by the demon clan, there were many kinds of monsters, many of them were high-level monsters with powerful cultivation bases.
After passing this vast primeval forest and heading north, you would be in the extreme north where the dragon demon clan was located. It could be said that the primeval forest to the north of Xuanbing City was the gateway to the Dragon Clan.
Therefore, compared with the southern region, wars between humans and demons seldom happen here. The two races were also relatively peaceful, and they would not easily initiate conflicts. But it did not mean that there was no conflict at all. Small-scale conflicts with less than a hundred people were commonplace for both parties, and no one would take it to heart.
The sun descended to the west, and the moon rose to the east.
Darkness soon ruled the entire land. But in this deep night where you couldn’t see your fingers. The entrance to the forest on the north side of Xuanbing City was gradually becoming lively. Looking from a distance, there were bright lights everywhere. Shadows whirling.
That’s right, this was a ghost market. A ghost city far away from the human protection area. What sets this ghost city apart from others was that it was located on the border of the demons. In the ghost city, there were not only traces of humans, but also many high-level demons.
Moreover, this ghost market was also the only place on the mainland where human spirit crystals could be sold openly without being held accountable. Of course, other kinds of treasures were also available here.
After all, these things were not only needed by humans, but also by demons. Therefore, after millions of years of continuous contact, such a ghost market where humans and demons could coexist had gradually formed.
For their respective interests, both human and devil have strong people here to take charge of law and order, and no one dared to come here to act wildly. Otherwise, it would directly become one of the commodities here.
The ghost market only opened every ten days. And when the market opened today, there were obviously a lot more people buying or selling than usual. It seemed to indicate the infinite murderous intent hidden behind the prosperity.
At midnight, the ghost market became even more bustling. But the target person never showed up. Tang Feng, who was hiding in wait, couldn’t help feeling anxious secretly.
Could it be that things have changed again? Glancing at Lu Xiaolong who was pretending to be Taobao not far away, Tang Feng couldn’t help shaking his head lightly, then glanced around casually.
In the ghost city, under the flickering lights, human beings and all kinds of monsters rub shoulders, but there is no strange feeling, as if the two sides have long been used to each other, no one will feel scared or have the feeling of bullying state.
When Tang Feng was anxious, he suddenly squeezed a person from the crowd, winked at Tang Feng, and disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing this, Tang Feng immediately rushed to Lu Xiaolong who was not far away and nodded, then quickly cleaned up the beach and mixed into the crowd.
All of a sudden, people in the ghost market kept closing in and leaving, and even the number of tourists who came to Taobao suddenly decreased a lot.
A valley a few kilometers away from the ghost city broke the tranquility of the past. More than a dozen bonfires lit in the small valley, and hundreds of people were standing quietly among the bonfires.
In the middle were six grand master chairs in a row, and six people of different heights, fat and thin sit on them. In front of the six people, there was a middle-aged man standing with his head bowed, reporting things to the six people.
“Reporting to Second Lord, Fei’s whereabouts have not been found yet. I have sent over a dozen groups of people. If Fei returns to Xuanbing City, he will definitely not escape my eyes and ears. It’s just...”
The man hesitated for a moment, and a middle-aged man sitting in the middle suddenly said, “Just what?”
The man was obviously a little disturbed and said. “It’s just that two days ago, a group of people suddenly disappeared, and they haven’t responded to the message for three days. I’m afraid it’s bad luck.”
The big man couldn’t help nodding his head when he heard the words, and sighed. “Hey. You have lost two brothers again. You must be more careful in what you do in the future. Don’t reveal your whereabouts unless it is absolutely necessary.”
“Yes.” The man agreed, and couldn’t help showing embarrassment. “It’s just...”
Hearing the words, the big man frowned slightly, and asked, “It’s just what? When did you become such a mother-in-law? If you fart, let it go.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The man couldn’t help lowering his head, and said cautiously, “Back to Second Master. Among the missing brothers, one is Young Master Shengtian.”
“What?” The six people sitting there jumped up from their chairs immediately. Everyone’s complexion changed drastically.
They heard the second master asked. “You mean the young master Xing Shengtian?”
Hearing this, the man fell to his knees in fright, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and he replied. “Yes, it is Master Shengtian.”
The second master stepped forward and picked up the man’s collar and asked, “Why is Master Shengtian here with you?”
“Second Master, Young Master Shengtian found it by himself. He insisted on meeting Fei in person for a while. The bad ones couldn’t stop him, and the young master even warned me not to reveal his whereabouts, otherwise...otherwise my whole family would be destroyed.”
Hearing the words, the second master immediately pushed the man, kicked him to the ground at the same time, and cursed. “Trash. If anything happens to Shengtian, I will personally destroy your whole family.”
