Chapter 550: Ghost Street Dead Market
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Jiushang brought Xue Fanxin to a dark and tattered street. There was not even a ghost on the street. It was so cold that it made one’s hair stand on end. It was like a place with many unclean things.
“Ah Jiu, where’s this?” Xue Fanxin leaned close to Ye Jiushang and refused to let go of his arm. She could not help but imagine those terrifying scenes. Just the thought could scare her half to death.
“This is Ghost Street, also known as the Dead Market.”
“Ghost Street, Dead Market, what are these names? They sound quite spooky.”
“This place is actually extraordinary.”
“What’s extraordinary about it? I don’t see anything around me. It’s so cold that it’s eerie.”
“This is only the periphery of Ghost Street. If you want to see the real deal, you have to have a way.” Ye Jiushang brought Xue Fanxin to a dilapidated wall. Then, he took out a strange badge and placed it in a recess in the wall.
The badge emitted a strange black light. Then, a black door appeared on the wall.
Ye Jiushang put away the badge, pulled Xue Fanxin’s hand, and led her toward the door. “Let’s go. Beyond this door is the real Ghost Street. You will soon learn what kind of place it is.”
“Oh.” Although Xue Fanxin was a little frightened, with a certain lord by her side, she was more than willing to be adventurous. She straightened her back and walked forward, passing through the black door.
It was as if they had arrived in another world. It was a very prosperous night market. Night Pearls used for illumination could be seen everywhere. Be it the neat and wide streets or the various shops and restaurants, they all used Night Pearls or even white crystals to illuminate the place.
In the middle of Ghost Street stood a glowing nine-story tower. There was a huge white crystal at the top like a moon in the sky, illuminating the entire street.
“Oh my god! There are so many Night Pearls. How much money is it?” Xue Fanxin was blinded by the Night Pearls. She looked like she was salivating and wished she could dig them all up.
Ye Jiushang could read her mind. He pulled her back and reminded her, “The owner of Ghost Street is unfathomable. To this day, no one knows his true identity. If someone causes trouble in Ghost Street, no matter their identity, they will only die. Don’t act recklessly. These Night Pearls are not worth much, especially in the eyes of cultivators. Except for illumination, they are useless.”
“Ah Jiu, you don’t know who the owner of Ghost Street is either?”
“I don’t.”
“Even you?”
“Yes, even I. Though I do know that he has never cared about the Mystic Realm. Anyone who comes to Ghost Street has to abide by the rules here or die. Although these Night Pearls are worthless, anyone who dares to have any ill intentions will meet their maker in less than half a day.”
“That serious?” Xue Fanxin originally wanted to touch the Night Pearls by the street. But she was so scared that she put away all such thoughts.
Although she liked these Night Pearls, her life was more important.
