Emperor’s Domination

Chapter 6084: I’ve Seen It Before

“Besides knowing almost everything about the major ghost market, I can be your errand boy, Sir, or an assassin if necessary.” Fog Emissary justified his worth.

“There are too many choices if I want to hire a killer, it doesn’t have to be you.” Li Qiye was not impressed.

“You’re right about this, Sir. If you want a killer, I am not the best choice but rather, Devil Emissary.” Fog Emissary nodded.

“Is Devil Emissary the strongest among you?” Six-style became curious.

“Hard to tell the strongest among us, Ghost Monarch might not be the one either. Everyone has unique abilities and techniques, but Devil Emissary is undoubtedly the most evil.” Fog Emissary said.

“A scary ghost.” Six-style remarked. Due to the rules at the market, the ghosts were rather friendly.

“He has numerous methods to kill so he’s more of a devil than a ghost. Victims will not enter the reincarnation cycle, subjected to endless torment.” Fog Emissary told her.

“Seems to be related to his transformation from the past self.” Li Qiye said.

“Keen insight, Sir.” Fog Emissary nodded: “It is believed that he is the oldest among the five emissaries, but I don’t buy this. I just know he had sold all of his kindness and emotions, hence his current devil state.”

“What about the other emissaries?” Six-style found this topic interesting.

“Not counting myself, we have Gold, Water, Devil…” He paused before finishing.

“There’s one more.” She said.

He smiled wryly and shook his head: “I actually don’t know.”

“Besides knowing almost everything about the major ghost market.” Li Qiye gave him the side eye.

“Sir, you can ask the whole market and not a single ghost can give you an answer.” He defended himself.

“Why’s that?” Six-style asked.

“We’ve never met the fifth emissary, the title is Nameless.” He said.

“Nameless Emissary.” She murmured: “What makes you think there is a fifth if no one had seen this emissary?”

“There are five for sure.” He said firmly: “We have five unique sigils so there should be a fifth one.”

“Why does the fifth prefer to be elusive?” She asked.

“I don’t know.” He shook his head.

“This ghost might be older than the four of you and needs nothing from the ghost market. The emissary status is only a title, nothing more in this case.” Li Qiye said.

“Everyone says Devil is the oldest but in my opinion, it’s either Water or Gold.” He said.

“Water, huh.” Li Qiye remarked.

“You know something, Sir?” He found Li Qiye’s expression.

“I should be asking you this.” Li Qiye retorted.

“He knows about my past.” He said.

“Then there’s a connection.” Li Qiye said.

Alas, he couldn’t do anything since the man himself preferred to keep it a secret.

“Have a look at this, know-it-all.” Li Qiye took out the pendant.

“This is…” His eyes opened wide open upon seeing it.

“You’ve seen it before?” Six-style asked. A similar pendant was found in Currency Exchange.

“I’ve seen a symbol like this in Money Temple before but it gave a different feeling. This one feels familiar.” He said.

“This is the corporeal version and came from here. If you have a feeling of familiarity, it might be related to your past self.” Li Qiye said: “Have you heard of anyone doing a transaction and successfully escaping?”

“Yes, there is only one.” He returned the pendant.

“Baihui.” Li Qiye said.

“Indeed, it’s a famous name.” He said.

“Have you thought that he might not be the only one who had escaped?” Li Qiye asked.

“Someone else, who is it?” He found this surprising: “No, it’s not possible. There would have been clues and legends.”

“What if the person chose against divulging it?” Li Qiye said.

“Maybe. If it wasn’t for Jiao Heng and their feud, Baihu wouldn’t have been so famous.” He said: “Well, I don’t know anything about it right now.”

“It’s not that easy when the person involved wishes to keep it a secret. One thing is certain, someone powerful had left this place.” Li Qiye said.

“I know nothing of it, maybe Gold Emissary will have more information.” He pondered before giving up.

“That’s not why I’m here, I want to find a weapon used in the battle back then. There should be clues of it in the market.” Li Qiye said.

“Armament Temple is the place to go then. A weapon in this region wouldn’t be able to escape its grasp.” He said.

“It has the most weapons in the market, right?” Six-style interjected.

“Yes, the ghost in there is an amazing blacksmith, rumored to be an emperor capable of crafting something beyond his cultivation. He exchanged something and created Heavenly Wrath, a feat no ghost had done prior.” He elaborated.
