Chapter 6086: The Ghosts

Old Pact Strike included ancient progenitors and ended up in failure. The details of this secretive attack eluded future generations.

“What makes you think there were two ghosts among that group?” Six-style murmured.

“It’s interesting, their nature and motive, or maybe there’s a third ghost too.” Li Qiye stroked his chin.

“...” She didn’t know how to respond: “Isn’t that too many considering the tight-knit nature of the progenitors’ group?”

“There are a few possibilities. Ghosts who weren’t ghosts then, ghosts but unknown to the others, or ghosts who became living people afterward.” He elaborated.

“That only makes it more confusing.” She smiled wryly after hearing him go in a circle.

“The ghosts have to answer, but they might not want to.” He said.

“Because they’re potential traitors, right?” She said.

“The traitor could still be a living person, that’s not settled yet.” He shook his head and sighed.

“So you think there were at least two ghosts involved.” She said: “And not everyone was killed in the battle.”

“Yes, at least two survivors, either ghosts or progenitors.” He responded.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, one survivor is Baihui.” She said.

“With him taking into account, then there might be three ghosts.” He smiled: “Maybe some outside ghosts too.”

“So we know there were survivors, why did no news of the battle come out or any progenitor showing up again?” She had a bad feeling.

“Maybe a fourth ghost comes into play as well. ” He said.

“Yes, from the market.” She said.

“The market used to be Soulcast Land, a ghost took advantage of loopholes in its rules.” He smiled.

“Just like Baihui who came up with a loophole.” She said.

“Not necessarily Baihui.” He responded.

“So Jiao Heng?” She continued.

“That was my initial conjecture but I came up with something better.” Li Qiye said: “Not Jiao Heng but the first ghost.”

“The first ghost, who is it?” She asked.

“Only one or two know the answer. They must have imitated this first ghost.” He said.

“Jiao Heng and Baihui.” She understood.

The two must have figured out something and started the plan of selling Baihui. The latter was able to escape due to the existing loophole.

“So another transaction took place first and the merchandise escaped.” She said.

“Might just be one for the first, not necessarily two.” He shook his head.

“I wonder who it is.” She was curious because the person must have been stronger than an ordinary progenitor.

“It’s amusing. Whoever it was must have done an incredible transaction beyond the reach of a progenitor after finding out this loophole before escaping.” He said.
