Chapter 636: Finding the Mermaid’s Tears


    My mind went nk.I turned around andran away at my fastest speed.


    In many legends, Meng Polivedby the River of Unmindfulness. Everyghost that camehere had to drink her soup to forget everythingoftheir previouslife before reincarnating again.It was no wondertheghosts here lookedunwilling. They wanted tokeepthe memoriesof their previous lives!


    I was certain that I couldntget closeto the River of Unmindfulness. If I drank Meng Pos soup,my lifewould end here.


    Still, no matter how hard I tried to run, I only saw new surroundings. I couldnt find the way back to the vige.


    Fengdu was the border between the two worlds. There were many forbiddennds, and if onegottrapped,they coulddie here.


    Walking aimlessly like this wasnt the right solution. I looked at the vague area ahead of me.Suddenly, I remembered the Invisible Needle.It was an otherworldly item and it could fly fast. Perhaps it could show me the way!


    Even if I couldnt get outimmediately, I would at least save my strength. I took out the Invisible Needle and used mythoughtsto control it. The needle flewaway quickly.


    The Ghost Marketdidnt coverarge area.Furthermore, Chuyi and the man from the Longquan Vi had strong Yang energy, whichmadethem prominent targets to find. Thatwaswhy I focused on finding the two of them.


    As the Invisible Needle was moving faster and faster, more and moreimages shed in my head. Soon, I felta wisp ofYang energy from acertainimage. I focused on that image and saw Chuyi standing before the three elders of the Longquan Vi.


    The ce where they were standing was different from where I was.There were nowanderingghosts around. However,pared to the wastnd here, it looked even more frightening.


    Before I could do anything, One-armed Dragon had taken actionand aimedat Chuyi.He only had one arm, but every time he moved, a strong wind rose with him. Chuyi was holding his eight-faceted Han swordandhadthe advantageof having higher reach. He could rtively have an equal fight against One-armed Dragon.


    Rightatthis moment, Yi Zhangqing fetched some hidden weapons from her waistand dartedthem at Chuyi.


    Chuyi reacted fast. He wielded his sword and wiped Yi Zhangqings hidden weapons away.However,thisgave One-armed Dragon the chance to hit Chuyisback.


    Chuyi halted. He withdrew his sword and shed One-arm Dragons arm. Butthetter seemed to beimmune to pain. Heraisedhis bleeding arm and grabbed the long sword.


    As I knew the situation wasnt good, I used the Invisible Needle tofind my waytoward Chuyi.


    At thismoment, Yin-Yang Tiger suddenly moved after a long time of standing still. Both of his hands curved like a pair of wsthat aimedat Chuyis wound on his back. Yi Zhangqing took the chance to throw more hidden weapons. Chuyi wanted to duck, but his body couldnt move.


    Youbastards!The three of you areattacking oneperson! I cursed, then used the Invisible Needle to stop the hidden weapons. At the same time, I threw the Emei Piercer at Yin-Yang Tiger.


    He didnt know what I had darted at him, so he had to give up on attacking Chuyi. Chuyi seized the time and read a short spell. The eight-faceted Han sword glowed magnificently. It cut one of One-armed Dragons fingers. The man screamed and backed off.


    I stormed forwardand stoodnear Chuyi. Are you okay?


    Why are you here? Chuyi said with a cold face. Were trapped. They dont have the mermaidstears. That Zen MasterBaimeiwas fake.


    Now I understood while the ghostshadne to intervene when One-armed Dragon and Zen MasterBaimeiwere fighting. Sincethey were fromthe sameside, the ghosts must have thought that theywere havingan internal dispute!


    It wasnt that hard to figure out. But as we wereblinded bythe mermaids tears,we hadnt thought the matter through.


    To give Chuyi more time toprepare, I asked theenemy,What happened to Zen Master Baimei?


    Before the Longquan Vis people answered me, I heard Zen MasterBaimeis merciful voiceing from all directions. YoungBenefactor, dont worry. Im all right.


    As his voice grew louder and clearer, beams of golden light filled the ce.Then,Zen MasterBaimeiappeared as though he had just descended from the sky.


    After hended, he put the m beads backinhis pocket. The golden light shed,thepletelydisappeared.


    Zen Master, where have you been?


    They tricked me intoing here earlier. I didnt know the situation, so I was trapped. I didnt expect to see thetwo of you here.


    I felt awkward.Youre too sincere, Zen Master. Couldnt you just say that you came here to help us?


    Nomatter what,now thatZen MasterBaimeiwas here, ourstrengthswereequal. Although I was weaker than them, with theInvisible Needle, I wouldnt be at adisadvantage.


    One-armed Dragons team grimaced. Their smirk was gone. Theyd decided to attack us in the market anddivide usas they were afraid that theywouldnt be able togivea nice report to theirsuperiors otherwise.


    However,the three of us had found each other by chance.Now thatthey had climbed on the tigers back, theyhad tofigure out how to get down!


    Chuyi had restedenough. He askedcoldly, Do we still need to fight?


    The people from the Longquan Vimadeugly faces. However, they didnt answer him. After exchanging looks, they flew backward.


    What did they mean? I asked.


    Im lucky that you two came. Otherwise, Icouldnteven dare to imaghe consequences, said Chuyi.


    This area wasnt the Ghost Market, so the owners didntbother to protectthend here. The people from the Longquan Vi had seized this chance to carry out their dark deeds. They wanted to finish us discreetly.


    However, as the three of us werereunited,fightingcould create a bigmotion thatwould requirethe big boss of the market tostep in.If that happened,let alone taking revenge,the people from Longquan Vimight not even be able toleave Fengdu. They understood this well. Thatwaswhy they had decided to leave.


    That was close, Iblurted out.


    I was worried, though. As they had used the mermaids tears to lure us in, they knew why wehadeto the Ghost Market.Ifthemermaids tearsweresold at this trade conference, they could buythembefore us. No matter what, they were equallyrich!


    Chuyi understood this. He immediately took us throughyers of illusions to return to the center of the trade conference.


    The market was so crowded. Stalls had packed the original market, and evenmore stalls were on the streets outside.


    We walked around but still couldnt findthe mermaidstears. Suddenly, threeflowsof white light crossed the sky.The people and ghosts cheered happily. Even Chuyi looked yearning when he saw the light.


    I checked the time. It was right at midnight. Finally, July the15thhade! It seemedthatthe white lightssignaled thatthe Markets owners hade to show this years treasure. Indeed,whenthe threebeamsof white light vanished, three items appeared in midair.


    On the left was a set of clothes that looked as thin as cicada wings. A few transparent beads floated in themiddle. On the right was a special mask, which had a fire phoenix moving on it. It looked magnificent to the eyes.


    I didnt know what those treasures could be used for,so I turned to ask Chuyi. When I turned to him, I saw that heand Zen MasterBaimeilookeddumbstruck. They were gazing atthe transparent beads.


    I pushed him and asked, Whats wrong?


    Jiulin, you are lucky. Chuyi couldnt hide his joy. Hisvoiceshivered. Those arethe mermaids tears, the thing you want to find!
