"Contract all clones?"
The old ghost looked at Xia Tianqiong in surprise, then turned to look at the Mirror Ghost, the Takeout Ghost, and the other contracted ghosts, and suddenly a sneer appeared on his face.
"How could you possibly contract all your clones with just a few wild monsters? Kid, don't dream!"
"Old man, what's there to be so proud of? Weren't you also bound by a contract?"
The delivery guy was the first to stand up and criticize, followed by Xiao Ba.
"You were almost beaten to death just now, what right do you have to laugh at our low level?"
"Just because you ganged up on us, I have the right to laugh at you. Most of our clones are at the Fierce Monster level or the Evil Monster level, and only a few of us are at the Wild Monster level, just like you."
The old ghost was not easy to talk to. Although it had signed a contract with Xia Tianqiong, it was still very arrogant and looked down on any of the contracted ghosts here, including Xia Tianqiong.
"They're not like me, who crave Nether Gold and are willing to temporarily sacrifice their freedom for it. Tell me, how do I form a contract with all my clones?"
The members of the contract were speechless, looking at each other, unsure how to refute.
Xia Tianqiong smiled, her attitude unusually gentle. "They certainly can't contract all the clones on their own, but we still have you. As long as you help me, I'm confident we can succeed. Even if we can't contract all the clones, we can contract a large portion of them. What do you say?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head. "Impossible. I won't help you deal with your other clones. After all, we share the same origin. If I did that, my main body would kill me directly."
"You don't need to lift a finger. Just help me persuade them. Tell them that if they sign a contract with me, I'll give them one hundred taels of gold, plus a commission of ten taels."
"Ten taels of ghost money for each one?"
The old man's most prominent characteristic is his love of money; he becomes immediately interested at the mere mention of gold.
It was tempted, but felt it was inappropriate.
Just as he was hesitating, Xia Tianqiong raised the price, "How about twenty taels?"
The old man was both surprised and delighted, and was about to agree, but then his eyes darted around and he started bargaining.
"This is asking me to betray my compatriots! Twenty taels is too little, I want one hundred taels for each one!"
Xia Tianqiong felt relieved. As long as it was willing to help, that was good. "One hundred taels is too much. I have more than two hundred clones. How can I afford it? At most, I can pay thirty taels."
Old Gui Tou looked miserable and extremely aggrieved. "This is a heartless thing to do. If the money is too little, I'll be at a disadvantage. How about eighty taels?"
"You're so greedy!"
Xia Tianqiong suddenly found it funny.
After another round of bargaining, the man and the ghost finally agreed on a price: twenty taels for a wild ghost clone, thirty taels for a fierce ghost, and fifty taels for an evil ghost.
Within the realm of the uncanny, Bai Tianxiong was fighting fiercely.
He used to be a strong, fit man in his thirties, but now he looks like a man in his sixties or seventies with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles.
Whether using the Heavenly Rope or the female ghost's trickery, there is a price to pay, and his ghost money has long been used up, so he can only pay with his lifespan.
That's why it turned out like this.
But now I dare not use up my lifespan anymore. If I continue to use it, my body will age and its functions will decline. Even if I leave the Ghost Realm alive, I won't live for more than a few years.
At this moment, more than a hundred cat demon clones surrounded him, attacking one after another, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Further out, thousands of ordinary cat-people were also eager to kill him.
If this continues, they will be killed very soon.
Just then, a bronze mirror was placed on the crossbeam of the eaves next to them. Suddenly, a person emerged from the bronze mirror and landed right next to Bai Tianxiong.
As soon as Xia Tianqiong came out, she was startled to see cat demon clones all around her, thinking that she had been discovered!
Bai Tianxiong was also startled, wondering why someone would suddenly appear.
Upon closer inspection, it was Xia Tianqiong, whom he had been searching for all day.
"Mr. Xia, please lend me some ghost money!"
"hehe!"
Seeing his expression, Xia Tianqiong knew he wouldn't last long, so she just replied with two "hehe"s.
If he hadn't killed the kitten girl, the rules wouldn't have been triggered, and things wouldn't have turned out like this.
They deserved to die!
Seeing that he was not only asking for money, Bai Tianxiong quickly advised, "If we don't kill all these clones, neither of us will survive. If we join forces, we still have a chance to live."
"If you hadn't run away earlier, the four of us might have been able to put up a fight. Now that it's just the two of us, it's impossible. You might as well just wait here to die!"
Xia Tianqiong didn't want to waste any more words with him, and at this moment, several clones began to surround and attack him.
Just as he was about to use Shadow Teleport to leave the place, he suddenly felt a tightness around his waist, as if something was binding him, preventing him from using Shadow Teleport.
Looking down, I saw a worn-out, thick hemp rope, more than an inch thick.
The rope was wrapped around his waist twice and tied in a knot, while the other end was held in Bai Tianxiong's hand.
His face was contorted with rage, and his eyes were filled with insane hatred.
"Since you won't lend me ghost money, then die!"
Bai Tianxiong wanted to bind Xia Tianqiong, kill him with the help of the cat demon's clone, and then search for ghost money on his corpse.
This is currently the only chance to obtain ghost money.
The Heavenly Rope is magical. When Xia Tianqiong was entangled in it, he was unable to use Shadow Teleportation, and it tightened more and more, making it impossible to untie by hand.
"Do you think you can kill me like this?"
Xia Tianqiong remained calm. Holding the bronze mirror in her right hand, she adjusted the angle, aimed the mirror at Bai Tianxiong, and used the trick "Mirror Swallows All Things".
Bai Tianxiong suddenly remembered that he had used the mirror to capture many cat people before, and realized that something was wrong. He quickly shook the Heavenly Rope, trying to pull him into the sky and throw him into the cat demon's clone.
