"Three thousand taels! Anyone offering three thousand taels?"

Su Que shouted, "I have just this one Tang Sect Crossbow. Once it's sold, there are no more!"

"Three... three thousand three hundred taels!"

The man wearing a pig-head mask, clutching the silver notes in his hand, shouted loudly.

He was a late-stage Second Blood Martial Artist, originally here to buy a Martial Arts Secret Manual and Elixirs.

However, the power of this Tang Sect Crossbow was so great that he was willing to spend all of his Silver Coins to purchase it.

"Three thousand three hundred taels once... twice..."

"This is the last one. Is there no one else bidding?"

Just as he was about to call "three times," Su Que suddenly stopped and added another word.

"You... hurry up and call it!" The man wearing the pig-head mask panicked as he saw Su Que pause.

All of his possessions amounted to three thousand three hundred taels, if the price went any higher, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

Su Que glanced around and seeing that no one else was bidding, said:

"Alright, three thousand three hundred taels, deal!"

He and the man with the pig-head mask exchanged money and goods on the spot.

The man with the pig-head mask immediately took the crossbow in his hand, holding it cautiously.

He thought, if anyone came to rob him, he would immediately shoot them with an arrow!

Then, he pulled his sleeve down to cover the crossbow arrow in his hand and hurriedly left the place.

In the crowd, several people's eyes flashed as they looked at the man with the pig-head mask.

They had the idea of killing to rob the crossbow.

However, just as they were about to leave.

Suddenly, they heard a commotion from the crowd, and everyone's gaze was still focused on Su Que.

It was because Su Que had taken out another crossbow from his bundle.

"You said that was the last one, how come there's another?"

"Are you a dog or something?"

"..."

The crowd cursed.

But this did not stop Su Que from continuing to shout for prices.

"This time the starting price is three thousand taels!" Su Que said.

"Damn, that's so high, I..."

"I'll bid three thousand one hundred taels!"

"Three thousand one hundred fifty taels!"

"..."

The complaints of some people were drowned out by the bidding voices.

After a while, the bidding reached a price of three thousand four hundred taels.

Those who hesitated and missed the first one decided to buy this one.

"Is there no one offering more than three thousand four hundred taels, this really is the last one!"

Su Que saw the bidding had slowed, and shouted again.

"Again with the last one!"

Someone in the crowd questioned.

"I don't believe it unless you open your bundle for us to see!"

"I swear." Su Que said, "If this is not the last one, may I be struck by lightning!"

"What's the use of swearing, open the bundle for us to see!"

"Yeah, let us see!"

Someone stirred up trouble, and others followed suit.

Some people even rolled up their sleeves, intending to force Su Que to open the bundle.

Of course, they were just pretending, they wouldn't dare actually take action.

Because there were people from the Zaiyang Sect maintaining order here.

If they took action, the Zaiyang Sect's believers would apprehend, or even kill, those causing trouble here.

The commotion around Su Que had long attracted the attention of the Zaiyang Sect's followers.

Lin Hao, who was patrolling here, was a small leader among the street patrol believers.

Seeing the power of the crossbow Su Que was selling, he thought in his heart: If the Zaiyang Sect obtains the crossbow and has craftsmen mass-produce it, wouldn't their combat power greatly increase? And by discovering this crossbow, I could certainly gain merit.

With this thought, Lin Hao immediately summoned his four subordinates, instructing them:

"Watch here and see who the crossbow is sold to."

"Then, follow the person who bought the crossbow."

"If you can kill, then kill them, and remember to destroy the body!"

The reason for destroying the body was because he feared it would tarnish the Zaiyang Sect's reputation.

After all, the Ghost Market was hosted by the Zaiyang Sect, and yet they killed a buyer.

If others found out, no one would dare to trade at the Ghost Market anymore.

After giving these instructions, Lin Hao left immediately, rushing towards the home of the bald-headed strong man.

He planned to report this to their Hall Master, who was the bald-headed strong man.

Just as he turned into an alley, he met a Zaiyang Sect believer with a sharp face and monkey-like cheeks, Sun Er.

Moreover, Sun Er had a panicked expression.

"What's wrong, Xiao Er?" Lin Hao asked.

Sun Er trembled as he said:

"Brother Hao! The Hall Master, Old Gao, Old Liu, Xiao Chen, Xiao Wei... they're all dead!"

"What?!" Lin Hao almost shouted out in surprise.

Sun Er said, "Not long ago, Wang Shan, who was guarding the town's entrance, suddenly died with a hole through his head, causing a commotion."

"After I discovered this, I immediately ran to the Hall Master's residence."

"Upon arriving, I found that everyone in the residence had become headless corpses."

Lin Hao's pupils contracted sharply, "What happened?"

Sun Er shook his head, "I don't know!"

Then he asked Lin Hao, "Brother Hao, what are you doing here?"

Lin Hao said, "There's someone in town selling a crossbow with a clever design and great power, I was going to report it to the Hall Master..."

After answering, he immediately said, "Sun Er, quickly ride a fast horse, rush back to the sect, and report these two matters to the superiors!"

Sun Er said, "Brother Hao, with so many dead, should we not fire a signal cannon to call for the sect members to come? It would be faster!"

Lin Hao shook his head, "If we fire a signal cannon, it could attract other forces. Once they see how elaborate the crossbow is, they might try to seize it."

"Also, we can't let outsiders know about the number of our sect members who died this time, to avoid damaging our sect's reputation."

After hearing Lin Hao's instructions, Sun Er immediately rushed to the town's stables, picked three fast horses, and rode them one after another, galloping back to the sect.

After Lin Hao and Sun Er parted, he rushed back to Su Que's location.

At this time, Su Que's stall was bustling with activity.

However, he noticed that two of his four subordinates were missing.

"Where have Xiao Si and Xiao Ren gone?" he asked his remaining two subordinates.

"A fat man wearing a pig-head mask bought a crossbow, they followed him." The two subordinates replied.

Lin Hao listened, suddenly stunned, "One crossbow was bought, so why is it still so lively over there!"

The two subordinates said, "That person lied; he has another crossbow!"

At this time, the bidding for Su Que's second crossbow was nearing its conclusion.

He refused to open the bundle, and the crowd couldn't do anything about it, so the auction continued.

"Three thousand nine hundred taels once... twice..."

"This is the last one, is no one bidding?"

Just as he was about to call "three times," Su Que suddenly stopped and added another word.

Seeing no response, Su Que immediately said, "Alright, three thousand nine hundred taels, deal!"

With two crossbows sold, he had received seven thousand two hundred taels.

This greatly exceeded his expectations.

He thought if he sold all the Hidden Weapons in the bundle, not only could he buy the Dragon Ascending Pill's recipe.

Even if Elder Qingxuan made him a few gourds of Dragon Ascending Pills to eat like candy, he could probably enjoy them for quite a while.
