Emperor's Domination

Chapter 6057: How Heartless

“What is this?” Six-style saw something and sensed a connection along with an indescribable sense of familiarity.

It resembled a walnut that had been cracked before due to the withered shell. It had lost its original color as well.

“It’s nothing, just something pawned by a brat named Seven-kill. He’s probably dead so that’s why it’s still here.” Although the shop owner had no love for Six-style, he still answered out of respect for Li Qiye.

“Seven-kill. Seven-kill Grand Emperor? He left it here?” Six-style was surprised.

He was once the strongest emperor of Enigma and was on the verge of breaking the limit to become a primal ancestor.

However, Immortal Suppression started a war to end the rising Enigma and successfully destroyed them along with Seven-kill.

“What emperor? He was a poor wretch when he came here and pawned his beloved astral core. Still hasn’t returned to buy it back.” The owner said.

Six-style never knew this part of history before.

“What did he get for it?” She was curious.

“Hah, what else but money? He ran off to see a ghost, not a good thing at all, poor boy.” The owner said.

Six-style had a perplexed expression because the owner was a ghost at all.

“It’s a fiend, an evil emissary, pah, very unlucky.” The owner spat with disdain.

“Unlucky?” Li Qiye asked.

He smiled right away when it came to Li Qiye and said: “Young Noble, the old man’s aura is unbearable, definitely the most hated figure in our major ghost market. He leaves a stench everywhere, haha, the opposite of his great smell when he first came. He sold himself and turned into a frightening fiend.”

“Sweet smell?” Six-style didn’t know why he used this description for a ghost.

“A man full of kindness.” Li Qiye explained.

“Of course you would know, Young Noble. I expect nothing less from a man of your stature. You discerned the old geezer’s history right away.” The owner praised.

Six-style still looked perplexed.

“It’s a legend, a kind person sold his kindness for the sake of revenge and turned into a devil.” Li Qiye said.

“Ah.” Six-style recalled that this type of transaction was not rare.

“But not everyone who sells their kindness becomes this type of devil. Plus, this place is no longer Soulcast Land.”

“Amazing, you are something else, Young Noble. I have nothing but admiration for you, an immortal in the land of mortals.” The owner gave him a thumbs-up.

Six-style got goosebumps due to the shameless old man.

“Tell me what happened, why is Soulcast Land in this state after falling?” Li Qiye said.

“Well...” He didn’t expect Li Qiye to go straight to the main issue.

“Young Noble, I am a lowly merchant and do not know other matters.” He had an awkward smile.

“Fine, don’t talk.” Li Qiye didn’t force the issue.

“How kind of you, Young Noble, to care for lowly ghosts like us and let us live on here.” He added.

Li Qiye smiled and picked up a handkerchief with exquisite patterns and a name - Xiao Juan.

“Impressive, looks like he benefited greatly back then.” Li Qiye said.

“Oh, this thing? Pawned by a brat named Six-sense.” He recalled its origin and said: “From what I saw, he couldn’t endure much longer and wanted money for recovery medicines. He said this was the last thing left behind by his beloved.”

“Six-sense Primal Ancestor?!” Six-style was shocked since there was only one cultivator with this title.

His pride was only matched by his talent. He became the only person to learn the dao in the major ghost market and made it to the primal level.

“He was on the verge of death and needed more vitality. If he couldn’t get any, he would have become a ghost.” The owner shook his head.

“Why hasn’t he returned for this?” She glanced at the handkerchief. The primal ancestor should have returned for this keepsake.

“Who knows? He would need another beloved item or pay one hundred times the original amount.” He laughed.

“How heartless.” She was left speechless.

“There’s a price to pay for pawning something so precious. Consequences.” He said.

She had no response because this was logical.

“It might have been the most precious once but when he pawned it out, its importance disappeared. He made his choice.” Li Qiye said.

“Right. “She murmured.

Li Qiye picked up a pendant resembling a bell or a cage. Within was a light, inconspicuous at first but with enough attention, it resembled a galaxy.

“This thing...” Li Qiye said: “Who sealed such power and fortune in this thing only to pawn it here?”

“It’s one of my prized collections.” The owner said excitedly: “It wasn’t pawned, I bought it from another ghost. The guy was sold by a good friend to a devil and paid a heavy price to escape.”

“Baihui.” Li Qiye knew this person - a progenitor who was tricked by Jiao Heng. When he escaped, he spent his life hunting Jiao Heng.
