Chapter 6068: Nothing To Pity

The man stared at the horizon for a while before asking: Sir, may I ask why you are here at the major ghost market?

Its good that you ask because you might have an answer. There is this one battle known as Old Pact Strike, no one knows the conclusion. Li Qiye said.

I know the battle youre referring to but due to the rules, we had to avoid it. Everything was in status and we knew little about the process and outcome. The man said.

Rules? So the ghost market was involved. Who were the partic.i.p.ants from here? Li Qiye smiled.

Perhaps the ghost monarch. The man said: But in my opinion, it wasnt a direct involvement. The monarch wasnt the one to start this nor was the monarch able to close the market entirely.

So a higher existence, this place wasnt a market back then and had nothing to do with Fiendish Ground. It belonged to Evil Transformation. Li Qiye said.

Yes, and I do not know what happened later since I came after. He said: We can only trace back to the source if we want an answer.

Fiendish Ground and Evil Transformation must have made a deal. Li Qiye smiled.

That should be the case given the rules, but with the perspective of the battle in mind, I believe the ghost market started from an outsider. He said.

Go on. Li Qiye said.

The rules dictate for us to stay away. Nevertheless, we still felt something and I felt the presence of old friends. He said.

Then you knew who came. Li Qiye said.

Sir, I was close with Brother w.a.n.g Yangming so I sensed him. The man revealed: It was a powerful group consisting of the top progenitors in Three Immortals. Because of this, I dont think the ghost market partic.i.p.ated due to a disparity in power.

Sure, but their target was not Zhan Sansheng. Li Qiye said.

I agree, and in terms of aura, the person had something to do with the ghost market. He paused for a second and said: I know its easy for you to find the answer, its just that you dont want to destroy the rules.

Yes, because when I do, you ghosts wont live any longer. Li Qiye smiled.

The market will cease to exist then, I appreciate how merciful youre being and for taking pity on us. He sighed.

Pity? I do not pity since you all chose to be ghosts out of your own volition. You are responsible for your current state. Li Qiye said.

I understand, it is something I should shoulder. Thats why I harbor little ambition and truly appreciate the joy youve shown me. He nodded.

The fact that youre searching for the past shows you havent given up on it. Its better to experience it again instead of whatever youre doing right now. Li Qiye said.

It would have been good if I had understood this back then. I wouldnt be in this state right now. He said sentimentally.

You wouldnt have listened to me given how arrogant and dominant you were in Immortal Lineage World. Li Qiye said.

He chuckled awkwardly before responding: Sir, I wasnt that arrogant and would have listened given the opportunity.

Listened? When you were in your prime, you would have tried to kill me instead of listening. Li Qiye smiled.

I am truly ashamed if thats your a.s.sessment of the old me. He said.

You nearly wiped out someones clan just because they disrespected you. Li Qiye said: If I had said something unsavory, you wouldnt have been able to handle it.

What you say makes sense, perhaps some disasters and tribulations are necessary. He said.

Being a ghost here has polished your mind and character. Li Qiye said.

I do not deserve your praise. He bowed.

Fine, if you dont mind being a ghost, then keep at it. Li Qiye said.

Yes, I will. It is an honor to see you, Sir. He bowed again and left.

Li Qiye chuckled and left with Six-style Emperor.

Hes awfully strong. Six-style couldnt help but say. Her cultivation might be gone but not her insight.

Yes, a compet.i.tor to any progenitor long ago. Li Qiye nodded.

So why is he a ghost here? Six-style was curious. It couldnt have been due to power or treasure since he had just given an ancestral weapon away.

Those who are pitiful often have some flaws. Li Qiye said: Becoming a ghost for him is a form of atonement so hes enjoying the process.

Atonement, I see. She murmured.

Li Qiye returned to the currency exchange and gave White-robed Greenmans eight sacred fruits to the owner.

Youre back, Young n.o.ble. The owner happily said: Sacred fruits arent worth as much as dao fruits but since youre a returned esteemed guest, I will still give you eighty million coins.

Li Qiye didnt care for the sentiment, accepting the coins and leaving.

Young n.o.ble, please come back. The owner said.

Miss me already? Li Qiye smiled.

Hehe, which business doesnt like esteemed guests, especially someone as great as yourself? The man laughed.

Is that so? I might just sweep your nest clean and take all your coins if I come back. Li Qiye said.

... The man was left speechless for a moment: Youre funny, Young n.o.ble.

It depends on my patience. When I run out, Ill flip not only your nest but also the entire market. Li Qiye said.

Please go, Young n.o.ble, please go. The man turned red and waved goodbye to Li Qiye, changing his mind entirely.
