Beimang Mountain, Hundred Ghosts Forest.
It was not surprising for ghosts to dwell on the mountain, but this place was specially named "Hundred Ghosts" for the sheer number of specters inhabiting it.
However, twelve days ago, the Hundred Ghosts Forest welcomed a group of uninvited visitors.
Even the ferocious ghosts and ghouls had to skulk away in defeat, abandoning their homes and livelihoods.
Shortly thereafter.
A large number of the forest's "Ghost Clapping" plants were uprooted and destroyed, and one elegant pavilion after another seemingly sprung from the ground overnight.
In the blink of an eye, the area transformed into a bustling street market, alight with lanterns and activity.
However, whether it was taverns, brothels, gambling dens, or stores... each signboard was eventually stamped with a "Life Trading" seal, all under the banner of the "Six Desires Red Dust Dao's" Life Trading Tower.
