Chapter 998: Chapter 998: The Suona Sounds, the Ghost Gate Opens

The group saw Ashton Todd, as soon as he uttered those words, decisively take out his personal magic treasure from the nearby box—

a magical suona.

Everyone present knew the origin of Ashton Todd’s suona, but Stella Gibson couldn’t help but be a little surprised,

"Can your suona open the Ghost Gate?"

Knowing it was fused with a Ghost Gate Fragment, but are the Ghost Gate Fragments really that powerful?

Ashton Todd replied quite seriously,

"After all, it’s expensive."

Before everyone’s curiosity could rise, he continued on his own,

"As the saying goes, expensive things have their reasons for being expensive; they must be worth the price."

He spent a fortune on this suona for Ivan and has developed its functions to the fullest to live up to its cost, integrating the Ghost Gate Fragment into it.

Thus, his suona, besides being able to summon ghosts and set up arrays, can also... open the Ghost Gate.

At this moment, whether it was the Mystical Sect members in the venue or the netizens huddled in specially open broadcast rooms, everyone found it hard to believe.

[I only knew a suona could send me off, didn’t know it could open the Ghost Gate too?]

[Is this a very powerful Mystical Sect Magical Artifact?]

[Open it! If it really can open the Ghost Gate, I’ll tip!]

Due to the unofficial broadcasting channels, the messages from the netizens wouldn’t reach the Mystical Sect members, and Ashton Todd wouldn’t see them either.

But that didn’t stop Ashton Todd from decisively striking a pose, using spiritual power as a guide, and blowing the suona as soon as the message was sent.

After all, the end time for the first match is set to coincide with the Ghost Market’s closing time. Although Ashton Todd wanted to keep them guessing, time did not allow him to delay.

Everyone heard the resounding sound of the suona, a melody seemingly piercing through the Yellow Springs, transmitted clearly through the Spiritual Screen into the audience’s ears.

What’s more, many could clearly see through the screen that as Ashton Todd played the suona, the spiritual power around him instantly intertwined with the strands of ghost energy within the suona, then merged with the melody to form another special spiritual power.

The tune, enhanced by spiritual power, resonated throughout the Underworld, and the next second, the Ghost Gate seemed to be summoned by the suona’s sound, slowly forming before everyone’s eyes.

As the Ghost Gate gradually opened, substantial shadow energy spread, permeating the villa.

Scarlett Jennings and her team were well-prepared, swiftly forming a spell to isolate the shadow energy in their hands before directly stepping into the Ghost Gate in front of them.

Unlike usual Ghost Gates that disallow human entry, the location of the Ghost Market straddled the boundary between the Human Realm and the Underworld, and an ordinary Master could enter as long as they concealed their yang energy effectively.

Thus, when Scarlett Jennings and her team stepped into the Ghost Gate, it was as if they entered a certain Ghost Realm.

The Ghost Gate vanished behind them, revealing an entirely different world before them.

The Spiritual Screen remained clear and uninterrupted by shadow energy or other spiritual powers, allowing Scarlett Jennings and her team to continue displaying the Ghost Market’s appearance on the screen for all to see.

Contrary to the imagined eerie and terrifying Ghost Street, the Ghost Market looked more like a peculiar midnight market.

Normally open at midnight and closes at dawn.

Yet it was clearly still daytime, and the Ghost Market shouldn’t have opened yet, but here it seemed like a separate time and space altogether.

This suggests that the time in this Ghost Market does not correspond with the time in reality.

"There’s only three hours until dawn, we’re short on time, let’s split into pairs and quickly find our items."

The pairs were formed to avoid being left without support in case of unexpected situations.

After all, all transactions in the Ghost Market were with Demon Ghosts, and no one knew what trouble they might encounter here.

Among the six of them, Scarlett Jennings paired with Nathan White, while Stella Gibson, Ashton Todd, and Greta formed another group.

Before splitting up, Stella Gibson handed the freshly folded Gold Ingots to everyone.

Since the rule was to redeem their items, they certainly needed to be prepared with some cash.

Stella Gibson’s crafting skills were excellent, so after paying the entrance fee into the market, they each went to the stalls to look for their possibly lost items.

Nathan White, being Immortal White, didn’t need to deliberately hide his yang energy like Scarlett Jennings did.

Although there were many ghosts in the Ghost Market, he wasn’t as socially anxious.
