Chapter 66: Ghost Talisman

The sudden appearance of Horned Demon made people uniformly take few steps back. The complexion of everybody tightened and no-one uttered a word.

Other than fatty who was squatting on the ground, no-one saw the lumps on the head of this Horned Demon, so they didn’t know he was a Horned Demon. But with nearly three meters tall body, and furthermore that killing intent surrounding his body, all of the onlookers were shocked without exception.

All the people in the underground Ghost Market were sly people, and their eyes were very sharp, quickly realizing that this person was an expert, moreover a great devil who killed people without batting an eyelid!

Finished!

This fatty of Cloud Mist Sect is finished, unexpectedly taking out a sheet of casually scribbled paper in front of this person, now, not only he would not earn money, he will be leaving even his little life here!

People sighed in their heart, but not a single one of them dared to step forth to help.

In the underground Ghost Market, the best way to survive was to put one’s safety before matters of principle, moreover no-one wants to be meddlesome. Although Fatty Zaho Dazhi was pitiful, but this pitiful person certainly had hateful aspect, who asked him to take out such slip of paper to tease people? Swindling money is also a skill, it isn’t something an average person could do casually. Just like Exploiter Hu, although he is known as stripping off a layer of people’s skin, but those people have never come to make any big trouble for him. He clearly knows who to swindle, and have swindling skill too.

“Your Excellency, you…, I…” Fatty trembled with fear and stood up, then looking at this terrifying Horned Demon, he spoke incoherently.

Now fatty didn’t want that slip of paper, merely was wishing he could immediately flee from here. The farther from this Horned Demon, the better. But his legs had gone soft and without any strength, he began to tremble more and more violently.

“This paper……, I want it, how much? Name the price!”

The hoarse voice of Horned Demon came through. After spreading out the piece of paper in his hand and taking a look for a little while, his dim red eyes emitted unusual radiance, just like a starving wolf wandering in the wilderness.

The surrounding became very quiet. All the people stared dumbfounded, including fatty.

This person isn’t here to kill someone, but to buy something?

This slip of paper, is someone really buying it?

People found it very hard to believe, and that loose cultivator who had already walked far away also came back, but similarly stared dumbfounded. But this time he was better-behaved, in front of the Horned Demon, he was well-behaved just like a cat, and didn’t dare to show his earlier arrogance.

“As long as, as long as……” Fatty calmed down a little bit, and thinking about his seriously ill father back at home, he gritted his teeth and gathering the courage, he stretched out his finger.

“50 taels? Trying to sell a piece of paper at such price, this fatty really dared to speak without thinking!”

“Exactly, truly caring for money over his life. But it’s strange, what is that thing to be so expensive?”

People whispered all sorts of comments.

The face of fatty reddened, then paled. He continuously recalled the instruction of Ye Chuan, so even though the people were already feeling 50 taels was already an exorbitant price, he was far from being satisfied. But, standing before him was not a loose cultivator, rather a Horned Demon, so who would dare to haggle with him?

Horned Devil didn’t utter a word. And seeing Horned Devil was silent and the atmosphere around them getting tense, fatty felt more and more uneasy.

Fortunately, the silence was only for a moment. Horned Demon finally opened his mouth: “8,000 taels, how’s that?”

The people who were making all sorts of comments suddenly became quiet.

8000 taels?

People doubted whether they had heard wrongly, 8000 taels for a sheet of paper, isn’t that price as high as heaven?

Fatty was also greatly surprised, he had never thought that as soon as Horned Demon opened his mouth, he would be so bold and uninhibited, so fatty was truly dumbfounded, “Your Excellency, this……”

“Is that still not enough?”
