"Mr. Xia, it's such a pleasure to see you again."
Xia Tianqiong used the gold ticket to teleport directly to the Ghost Realm Bank, where Manager Hu was already waiting at the door.
"Does Manager Hu think I died at the hands of the Ghost King?"
"How could that be! You are blessed with good fortune and great luck, so naturally you will be able to turn bad luck into good."
Manager Hu bowed slightly, his face beaming with a fawning smile, even more polite than the last time.
Xia Tianqiong casually tossed over a dozen gold ingots, totaling more than a hundred taels, saying, "This is to thank you. If it weren't for your reminder, I might not have been able to escape unscathed."
If it weren't for Manager Hu's reminder, the dragon-shaped ghost king incident in the emergency room would have taken a long time to figure out a solution.
He should naturally thank them.
"You're too kind. It's my honor to be able to help you."
Manager Hu was polite in words, but his hands were anything but. He quickly caught all the gold ingots and skillfully tucked them into his sleeve.
Xia Tianqiong smiled and said, "Tell me, what are your plans for the next few days? Where will the auction be held?"
"As a mid-level VIP of our bank, you are entitled to a trip to the Void Realm once a year, with our bank providing full protection throughout. It just so happens that the Void Clan's annual auction is coming up, and I thought you would definitely be interested in it, so I'm inviting you to attend."
This is the first stop on the trip, lasting two days. After that, I'll take you to another famous scenic spot in the eerie world, which will take about three days, for a total of five days at most.
"Alright, let's go then!"
Xia Tianqiong was very interested in this; he might be the first human to travel to the Ghost Realm.
Manager Hu raised his hand and waved it, and a golden stream of light flew out from his sleeve, landing on the ground and suddenly transforming into a luxurious carriage.
The car body is entirely gold, seemingly cast from gold, and its surface is engraved with complex patterns, which should be some kind of runes, making it look anything but simple.
The cart wasn't pulled by normal horses, but by a skeleton shaped like a horse.
The entire skeleton was snow-white and smooth, without a single blemish. In each of the two eye sockets on the skull, there was a small ball of green flame, flickering and extremely lifelike.
Its four hooves burned with eerie green flames, as if it were riding on four wheels of fire.
This carriage looks extraordinary.
"Mr. Xia, please get in the car. I will personally act as your driver."
Manager Hu lifted the carriage curtain and invited Xia Tianqiong to get in. Xia Tianqiong then sat in the driver's seat, and the carriage started moving.
The Ghost Bank is located in the void, surrounded by gray mist.
As the carriage started and entered the fog, the fog automatically parted to make way for it.
A moment later, the fog dissipated, revealing a desolate and ruined scene outside.
Xia Tianqiong lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked outside. She felt that the scene in front of her was very similar to the original appearance of the basement of the Wujian Restaurant.
The ground was cracked, and dust was flying everywhere, like a desert.
The sky was overcast, with wispy green clouds floating around.
Xia Tianqiong was puzzled and asked Manager Hu, "Are all the ghost realms this desolate?"
"Not entirely, but such environments are quite common."
Manager Hu knew there wasn't much to see, so he said, "Mr. Xia, please hold on tight, I'm about to speed up."
"Okay, let's speed it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Tianqiong suddenly felt a powerful push against his back, as if he were being pressed against the back of the carriage.
The view outside the window blurred instantly, turning into countless indistinct lines.
This speed is even faster than an airplane taking off.
Moreover, there was no sense of bumpiness whatsoever; it felt as if the carriage wasn't traveling on the ground, but flying through the air.
About half an hour later, Manager Hu slowed down the car. "Mr. Xia, look outside. There's a different view."
Xia Tianqiong lifted the curtains again and was immediately shocked by the scene before her.
Not far away lies a shattered city; it is shattered because there are almost no intact buildings.
Most amazingly, many stationary building fragments floated in the sky above the city.
If Xia Tianqiong were to describe it, it would be as if a bomb exploded in the center of the city, shattering buildings and sending debris flying into the sky. Then, suddenly, time stood still, and all the fragments spherically scattered across the city, motionless.
Even more amazingly, one can vaguely see many figures living in the broken city.
Even in the debris of buildings in the sky, there are some.
To be precise, they should be described as eerie.
"Are all cities in your ghost realm like this?"
"No, there are many different kinds of cities in the Ghost Realm. It depends on which kind of Ghost Clan lives there."
"Then tell me, what kinds of ghost races exist in the Ghost Realm, and what are their characteristics?"
The carriage continued moving, and Manager Hu drove while explaining things to Xia Tianqiong.
When encountering special circumstances, it will also slow down, allowing Xia Tianqiong to enjoy the view.
As Xia Tianqiong continued her journey, she gained a preliminary understanding of the Ghost Realm.
The Ghost Realm is much larger than the Human Realm, but Manager Hu doesn't know exactly how much larger.
The terrain and natural environment here are much richer than those on Earth.
According to Manager Hu, the Ghost Realm contains bottomless abysses, inescapable fog, an ever-burning sea of flames, an oasis where time stands still, and even a desolate place where even the most supernatural beings cannot survive.
In the realm of the supernatural, the variety of bizarre creatures is too numerous to count.
However, some strange creatures with similar characteristics are treated as a single race.
For example, the Mirror Ghost Clan, Dream Ghost Clan, Fox Demon Clan, Soul Ghost Clan, Drowned Clan, Tree Ghost Clan, and so on.
If classified according to their appearance, they can be divided into humanoid ghosts, animal-shaped ghosts, plant-shaped ghosts, object-shaped ghosts, and architectural ghosts.
The various ghost tribes are not at peace, and large-scale battles often occur.
