Peerless War God

Other than announcing the fact that everyone had been promoted, the remaining article announced that the men and horses arranged by the Emperor would come back to take over the Spirit Stone mining lode after seven days and Chen Xiao and the rest would be sent back at the same time.    

Naturally, no one had any objections with the two military orders. After the announcement was made and the commanding officer left, everyone immediately changed into their newly issued armors.    

However, Chen Xiao and the others had killed a lot of people and almost everyone had all kinds of armor. There was no need to take off the armor that they were wearing at the moment, and they had already handed over the armor that they took off from the corpses to the high-ranking officer.    

Regarding this, the high-ranking officer did not say much. This kind of unspoken rule was common even under Duan Wang's command.    

The people outside were all immersed in excitement, Chen Xiao did not disturb them and only ordered Jiang Quan and Ma Chao to pay attention to their defense. Then, he left the garrison army's main camp and rushed towards the Shadow Mountain Ghost Market.    

Having been here for such a long time, aside from the first trip to the ghost market in Yin Mountain, he hadn't been there since. Now that he was about to leave, Chen Xiao thought he might as well take this opportunity to go back and see what he needed.    

He felt the entrance of the Ghost Market familiarly. After entering, Chen Xiao immediately found that there were less than half of the people in the Ghost Market compared to the first time he came.    

Chen Xiao was well aware of the reason for this situation.    

There was suddenly a huge army of over a hundred thousand soldiers stationed around the area, and there had been two great battles in the past. Unless one was especially brave, most people would have long left this place and would only come back after things had settled down.    

The key was that this was the famous Dark Mountain Ghost Market, the biggest black market in the Immortal Domain. Most of the people that lived here throughout the years were not good people, and it was easy for these kind of people to overthink things when they see people from the Heavenly Court.    

Chen Xiao was not too worried. He casually walked on the street and occasionally looked at the shops on both sides of the street.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao's face had already been covered by a mask. Outsiders couldn't see through his true face, so they didn't have to worry about others recognizing him.    

After walking in the Ghost Market for a while, Chen Xiao couldn't help but frown.    

There was no other reason but that the shops here were too small!    

Compared to the huge shops that took up tens of thousands of meters of land in the outside world, most of the stores here only dealt with one or two things, while the others didn't. As for the herbs that Chen Xiao wanted to buy, they were even rarer.    

After strolling for two hours, he finally managed to buy a ninth level herbaceous grass that he needed. After that, he gave up on strolling and directly walked towards the center of the ghost city.    

In this Ghost Market, other than these shops, the most famous one was the auction house!    

Although there was only one auction house here, the space it took up was not small. Furthermore, there were things that would be auctioned off every day. Even if there were items that were auctioned off, they could be stored in the main hall of the auction house to continue selling until they were sold.    

As for whether or not they were worried that the auction house would run away, almost no one who came here was worried.    

This was because this auction house was the first shop of the Ghost Market, and it was also run by the Ghost Market's most powerful force!    

There were even rumors saying that there might be people from the Heavenly Court controlling the shops in the Ghost Market. Rumor had it that the Yan Clan could control the shops here.    

Of course, all of this was just a rumor, and no one could confirm it.    

However, after the Ghost Market was established for over a hundred thousand years, this auction house had not made any mistakes. Even if the owner's item was lost, it would still be a direct compensation.    

As such, everyone who came here trusted this auction house.    

This time, Chen Xiao's purpose of coming here was also this auction house.    

Since they were going back soon, Chen Xiao naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and buy everything he could. Although Chen Xiao rarely collected spoils of war during the previous battle, the underlings still sent Chen Xiao a batch of valuable things.    

Now, Chen Xiao planned to exchange them for cultivation resources and find an opportunity to send it back to Yue Yao and the others.    

After all, they had been out for such a long time. That large sect needed money to grow.    

Raising such a big family wasn't easy!    

The auction house was naturally easy to find, but in a short period of time, Chen Xiao arrived.    

At the same time, the auction house was also full of people. However, there were still two maids standing outside the door.    

One of the maids' eyes lit up when she saw Chen Xiao and quickly came forward to greet him.    

After bowing respectfully to Chen Xiao, the servant girl used a pleasant voice to ask, "Sir, may I know what you need? My daughter can introduce you to the adults! "    

"Un, let's go in and take a look!" Chen Xiao nodded.    

The joy on the maid's face deepened as she hurriedly walked towards Chen Xiao. As she walked, she introduced, "Sir, our company has a special consignment area and also a special auction area. I wonder which area you would like to see first?"    

"Let's head to the consignment area first!"    

"Yes!" Master, please follow me this way! " The maid turned a corner with Chen Xiao and walked to the side.    

After the maid came up to Chen Xiao, she explained: "This second floor is a consignment area, and most of the common goods are here, and they are all top quality goods. If you have any special items you would like to buy, you can tell my daughter that I can lead you there!"    

"Alright, I'll take a look first!" Chen Xiao smiled and nodded. His eyes fell on the second floor.    

The second floor was even larger than the first floor. There weren't many people on the first floor, but on the second floor, there were hundreds of people of all shapes and sizes shuttling back and forth.    

Chen Xiao's gaze moved from the person on him to the counter on both sides.    

The rows of counters were all translucent counters carved from special crystals. A large number of items were placed inside, extending all the way to an area that the naked eye could not see. It was evident how abundant the items here were.    

Moreover, Chen Xiao looked at the weapon crafting materials in front of him and immediately realized that the maid was not lying.    

Just this piece of material in front of him was enough to make a Divine Weapon, and its value was close to three million Spirit Stones. It was obvious that the items here were quite expensive.    

However, this thing was useless to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and continued walking forward, and that maid followed closely behind Chen Xiao. Once Chen Xiao looked at something more, she would immediately come forward and explain the origin of the thing to Chen Xiao in a soft voice, its effects and so on.
