A few minutes later, Xu Yang received a call from Grandpa.

Xu Zhiyuan got straight to the point, saying, “Grandson, Da Xia and I have already taken down the Miaoling Ghost Market. What’s the situation on your side?”

Xu Yang laughed, “I’ve also taken down the Dianchi Ghost Market. Thanks for your hard work, Grandpa.”

“What hard work?”

Xu Zhiyuan complained, “I didn’t even have a chance to take action. Divine Master Chengming slapped them all to death with one palm…”

Soon, Xu Yang received another call from Wang Hou.

Wang Hou personally took action, along with three Land Immortals, and it was no problem for them to take down a Ghost Market.

After a while, Long Xiaoxue’s aura fluctuated, she stood up and said, “Alright, let’s go. I’ve already digested a Ghost Immortal, and I feel much more comfortable.”

Xiao Yu asked, “Where are we going?”

Long Xiaoxue yawned, “Let’s go home. All I want to do is sleep after a big meal.”

“Alright, let’s go home!”

It took them more than half an hour, and Xu Yang returned to Wu City’s villa with his three wives.

Liu Shishi and Yun Mengxi were anxiously waiting. Seeing Xu Yang and Yue Niang returning unharmed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Husband, I’ll go prepare some late-night snacks.”

Liu Shishi was about to get up but was stopped by Xu Yang, who laughed, “No need, I brought some stuff back from Lijiang night market. Come on, let’s eat together.”

As they were eating their late-night snacks.

Chen, the leader of Wudang Sect, called, saying that he, Master Yimei of Maoshan Sect, Celestial Master Zhang Jiyu of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and Zhao Wuji of Quanzhen Sect had completed their tasks.

“Thank you.”

Xu Yang made small talk on the phone. Chen laughed, “Speaking of thanks, I should be thanking you. If it wasn’t for your sword that created the Sword Aura Grand Canyon, it would have been impossible for me to break through in at least three years.”

After hanging up the phone.

“Amitabha!”

From outside the door, the sound of a Buddhist chant came.

Xu Yang walked out of the villa to see Master Silvan Void and his fellow disciples standing on a lucky cloud in the night sky. They emitted Buddha’s light, illuminating the entire villa area, covering the lawns and plants with a golden layer.

“Master Xu, my fellow disciples and I have completed the task you entrusted to us. It’s getting late, so I should go back first.”

With that, he transformed into a stream of Buddha’s light and shot into the sky.

The other eight monks bowed to Xu Yang and similarly turned into Buddha’s light and flew away.

“Mr. Xu, we have also completed our task.”

A voice rang in Xu Yang’s mind.

It was White Impermanence’s voice transmission.

He and Black Impermanence did not show themselves.

As high-ranking officials of the Underworld, their actions of attacking the Ghost Market would violate the Heavenly Laws. Now that the task was completed, it would be better to keep a low profile.

Xu Yang returned to the villa and laughed, “Ladies, we now have eight of the nine major ghost markets in Da Xia within our grasp. So now, let’s discuss how to manage them.”

“What?”

Yun Mengxi jumped up and shouted, “Husband, you don’t expect us sisters to go manage the other ghost markets, do you? No, no… the other markets are all over the country. If we go to manage them, wouldn’t it mean we have to leave you?”

She made it clear, “I am a zombie. What business do I have managing a ghost market? Let your other wives do it.”

Yue Niang shook her head, “I am the local deity of Wu City and I also have to manage the Haunted House.”

She didn’t directly say no, but the meaning was similar.

Liu Shishi expressed that she had to serve Xu Yang and cook for him every day.

They were not ignorant, but simply did not want to leave Xu Yang.

Xu Yang scratched his head, rubbing his temples, “Then what should we do? Each ghost market represents a huge fortune. If we don’t manage them well, won’t we lose out?”

Yang Yin said, “Husband, why don’t we connect all the ghost markets like the Fengdu Ghost Market? That way, it’ll be much easier to manage, right?”

Yue Qiluo chimed in, “That’s right, if we can connect all the ghost markets, then we sisters can easily manage all nine ghost markets while staying in Xu Manor.”

“Connect all the ghost markets?”

Xu Yang laughed bitterly, “The space portal between Fengdu Ghost Market and Xi Xia Ghost Market was created by the mortal incarnation of Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu. Apart from your husband, even ordinary Immortal Beings might not be able to do it. Who should I ask to create the connection?”

Yun Mengxi suggested, “You took on two disciples, right? Why not have them do it? Isn’t that what disciples are for, to be used as tools?”

This proposal isn’t bad.

Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “It’s not a bad idea to let Chen Xiang manage a ghost market. It would be a good experience for him, but Ma Xiaotiao still needs to watch the shop…”

“Can’t you just arrange for a few ghosts to watch the shop?”

“That makes sense…”

Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “Ma Xiaotiao and Chen Xiang can each be responsible for one ghost market. We can also let Ma Long manage one. The martial world’s various Daoist sects, clans, families, and the Spirits Management Bureau have all contributed a lot to the attack on the seven ghost markets. We can offer them one market for them to manage and decide how to distribute the profits.”

The remaining three ghost markets will be managed by the nine generals for now.

Any changes can be addressed later.

“Wait a minute…”

Xu Yang suddenly realized something: “Why haven’t Master Huiyuan and the others returned yet? Have they encountered any problems?”

The power of the seven ghost markets is indeed not weak.

But it’s definitely not too powerful either.

Since Xu Yang planned to attack the ghost markets, he naturally made preparations in advance. Even more than a month ago, he had begun collecting information about the other ghost markets and had planted “spies” in them.

He might not have a clear grasp of the number of experts in the other ghost markets, but at least he had a general idea!

Master Huiyuan and the others went to the “Wangwu Ghost Market”.

The Wangwu Ghost Market is located near Wangwu Mountain in Henan Province.

The sacred land of Buddhism, Shaolin, is also in Henan and not too far from the Wangwu Ghost Market.

In theory, it shouldn’t be difficult for Huiyuan and his fellow monks, along with the Wang Clan’s ancestors, to take down the Wangwu Ghost Market.

But…

Xu Yang checked his phone.

It was already 4 a.m.

Why hadn’t they returned yet?

Suddenly, Xu Yang’s expression changed, and he teleported outside the villa.

He floated in the night sky, looking into the distance, clearly feeling several powerful auras approaching quickly.

“Is it… Master Huiyuan?”

Xu Yang’s face changed slightly. He extended his divine sense to a range of 200 miles and saw Master Huiyuan, looking extremely disheveled, carrying his disciple and flying towards Wu City.

Behind him were the three Wang Clan ancestors, all injured and their auras somewhat weak.

Whoosh!

Xu Yang flashed forward and asked, “Master Huiyuan, what happened?”

Master Huiyuan, still afraid, took a deep breath before saying, “Master Xu, I apologize… We failed to capture the Wangwu Ghost Market.”

The Wang Clan ancestors also flew over and said with a bitter smile, “There are four Ghost Immortals in the Wangwu Ghost Market. Originally, with our strength plus the powerful Buddhist treasure brought by Master Huiyuan, we should have been able to easily suppress those four Ghost Immortals…”

“However, just as we suppressed the four Ghost Immortals and were about to kill and refine them, a powerful aura suddenly erupted within the Wangwu Ghost Market.”

At this point, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the Wang Clan ancestor, and he said solemnly, “It was a Netherworld Demon. Its strength was far beyond ours, and with just one blow, it heavily injured all of us. If it weren’t for Master Huiyuan and Master Huikong using the powerful Buddhist treasure to block that Netherworld Demon, I’m afraid our lives would have been lost in the Wangwu Ghost Market.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang glanced at Master Huiyuan.

And at the unconscious Master Huikong on his shoulder.

Huikong was not injured, but he was probably exhausted and had fallen into a coma.

Xu Yang understood…

These people did suffer some injuries in the Wangwu Ghost Market, but it was definitely not as serious as they said. Otherwise, they would have gone to Mount Song instead of Wu City.

However, Xu Yang had already captured eight of the Da Xia’s nine ghost markets.

The ninth one must also be captured.

Xu Yang sneered, “The Netherworld Demons are quite bold… I haven’t gone looking for trouble with them, and they actually dare to cause trouble in my ghost markets?”

Master Huiyuan: “…”

He silently chanted “Amitabha” in his heart.

He thought to himself that the Wangwu Ghost Market hadn’t been captured yet… it didn’t belong to Xu Yang at this point!
