Chapter 6070: Im Only A Little Older

Now will you answer my questions? Li Qiye said.

Look at what youve done, you dragged me into this mess! Water Emissary had a painful expression as he glared at Fog Emissary.

The way I see it, youve been keeping something to yourself, so here is the chance to finally let it out. Fog Emissary acted as if he was in the right.

Look at you now. As the adage goes, he who walks with the wise grows wise, but youre not a.s.sociating with anyone worthwhile. Water Emissary said.

So you know of my old self? Fog Emissary asked.

You expect too much out of an underwater ghost. Water Emissary responded.

Forget other matters, focus on Old Pact Strike. Li Qiye waved his hand.

The rules forced us to stay out back then, so even if I didnt hide, I would have been underwater. Water Emissary said.

So why did I find you at the entrance handing out sweet soup? Li Qiye said.

Well. Water Emissary chuckled and said: I just came up to take a breath, thats all, before taking a long dive again.

I can help you with that dive until no bubbles come up again. Li Qiye smirked.

No, its alright! Water Emissary said: Fine, I will answer your question, Sir. Just know that it might not be correct since I was not present.

Go for it. Li Qiye said.

He pondered his words carefully before speaking: The truth is that I dont know if it was related to our major ghost market.

Li Qiyes eyes narrowed after hearing this.

Because the market didnt have any partic.i.p.ants in the actual fighting. I am sure of this. Water Emissary said.

The market was certainly the battlefield. Li Qiye said.

Yes, right in Heavenfall, thats a part of the market, the most dangerous location. Its changed though. He said: Due to the rules, my knowledge is limited.

More spying. Fog Emissary interjected.

Water Emissary glared at him before continuing: From my experience, the problem was them. Someone, I dont know who, led them straight to Heavenfall. Ghosts didnt dare to go there yet outsiders such as themselves had no qualms, clearly confident.

So it was a trap for the progenitors. Six-style said.

Someone whom they trusted led them here. These progenitors werent easily fooled so their relations.h.i.+p must have been deep. Six-style didnt dare to make conjectures regarding the culprit.

Thats most likely the case. Our ghost market wasnt strong enough to partic.i.p.ate. Water Emissary shrugged.

Interesting, catching them all at once isnt easy. One or two couldnt have done it well enough regardless of the trust level. Li Qiye said.

So there were helpers. Six-style understood.

More than that, the guide was the helper, not the actual mastermind. Li Qiye smiled.

I dont have any more information since we were in hiding. Water Emissary said.

Then who was there to control the rules and laws? Li Qiye chuckled.

Water Emissary exchanged glances with Fog Emissary.

Ghost Monarch cant either. Fog Emissary had thought about this before.

Yes, otherwise Ghost Monarch would be in full control of the market. Water Emissary agreed.

Only a few have control over the laws. Li Qiye said.

Although I was underwater, I could tell Fiendish Ground and Evil Transformation werent there. Something was strange about it. Water Emissary said.

What was? Fog Emissary asked.

The power was familiar but not a true arrival, its hard to say. Water Emissary said.

Let it out. Li Qiye smiled.

Sir, its just my speculation. Water Emissary said: If I have to point at someone, it would be Fiendish Ground but that doesnt make sense. It doesnt have any direct conflict with Cao Yang and Baihuis group.

Who do you think was the traitor? Li Qiye asked.

Thats an answer beyond the reach of the ghost market. Water Emissary said.

Then what do you think about the ghost market? Li Qiye asked.

In what sense, Sir? Water Emissary asked carefully.

How did it take this form? Li Qiye elaborated.

As far as I know, it crashed down here. Water Emissary said.

Is that so? It used to be Soulcast Land, certain events happened and it became the ghost market. Li Qiye said.

You should know, Brother Water, youre the oldest ghost. Fog Emissary said.

The oldest ghost isnt Ghost Monarch? Six-style asked.

No, Ghost Monarch is far younger. My research gave me this answer. Fog Emissary said.

Sigh, nothing like that, Im only a little older, thats all. Water Emissary said.

Looks like youve been a ghost for long enough, truly transforming and considering this place as your home. Li Qiye stared at him and said.

I do love the ghost market, its a great place. Water Emissary agreed.

You dont remember anything about your past life as the living? Li Qiye asked.

Water Emissary glared at Fog Emissary instead of answering.

Dont give me that look, I didnt choose to forget. Fog Emissary said.

I dont remember at all what it was like to be alive, being a ghost is pretty good. Water Emissary answered.
