Chapter 1534: Ghosts Throughout The Mountain
“Greetings, master. Greetings, senior uncles.”
Xin Yuyao saluted them before explaining, “These people noticed something and did not set foot on the Celestial Asking Road. They even attempted to leave. So, I captured them.”
“Oh. Looks like not all of them are idiots after all.” A man who looked like a withered corpse walked up to Fu Qingbai and looked him up and down with his shriveled, deathly white eyeballs. “It’s unfortunate that his talent is somewhat lacking.”
“Hehe. You can give him to me if you don’t want him, senior brother.”
A man covered in rotting flesh from head to toe looked at Fu Qingbai greedily. “Yes, he’s a little old, and yes, his talent is average. Still, he’s way better than the idiots on the Celestial Asking Road. He will be usable with a bit of modification.”
“You have no reason to be hasty, Fifth. Your stinking shell can still hold you for a bit. My body is already destroyed, and I desperately need a new one. I think he fits me.”
A man with no body and only a rotting, smelling soul floated over with obvious greed in his eyes.
The man who looked like a withered corpse immediately blocked their way like he was defending his food. “What are you doing? What are you doing? I only said that his talent is poor. I didn’t say I didn’t want him. He’s mine, you hear me? Don’t even think about laying your hands on him.”
“Your body is still intact, senior brother! You should give him to me!”
“Yeah. you can’t just claim him by force because you have more seniority than us, senior brother!”
“Yeah! You’re the senior brother. You should know modesty and give him to us!” For a time, the group wouldn’t stop arguing with each other. They might address each other as senior brothers and junior brothers, but their eyes and faces were overflowing with undisguised malice. No one was willing to compromise even a little.
“Silence.”
