Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1974

As soon as Mike said so, he decisively pulled out his instrument from a nearby chest—a singing bowl.

Everyone present was familiar with the origins of Mike's singing bowl, but Lexie was still surprised. "Can your singing bowl open a ghost gate?"

They knew it was forged with a Ghost Gate fragment, but was the fragment that powerful?

Mike seriously replied, "Well, it's expensive."

Before anyone could respond, he continued, "If it's expensive, it better be worth it. Something costly like this should be worth its value."

He'd paid a hefty price to Zidane for the singing bowl. To not waste that price, he worked hard to fully develop the capabilities of the Ghost Gate fragment.

Aside from summoning ghosts and forming arrays, it could also open a ghost gate.

At that moment, both mystic masters at the venue and the audience watching from the exclusive livestream were in disbelief.

"I always knew a singing bowl could send someone off. I never knew it could open a ghost gate too."

"Is this some kind of a high-level mystic arts instrument?"

"Do it! If it does open a ghost gate, I'll send a reward!"

Since the livestream wasn't official, comments in the livestream weren't visible to mystic masters, and Mike couldn't see them either.

Just as that comment flew across the screen, Mike assumed his stance. Then, he gathered his spiritual energy and began to play his singing bowl.

Since the deadline for the first duel was when Phantom Market closed, he didn't have time to beat around the bush. They couldn't afford to delay.

A loud, piercing melody echoed as its tunes seemed to cut through the River of Death. Through the Mystic monitor, the sound reached everyone in the venue loud and clear.

"We've only got three hours until 3:00 am. Time's tight, so let's split into groups of two and search for our items."

The two-person groups were for safety. If anything unexpected happened, no one would be left without backup.

In Phantom Market, where ghosts and demons traded freely, no one knew what trouble they might face.

The team soon split into teams of two, where Shannon teamed up with Elliot while Lexie was with Mike and Heston.

Before parting ways, Lexie handed out a few gold coins. Since the duel required them to redeem their lost items, they obviously needed money to do so. She had always been meticulous.

After paying the market entry fee, each group began combing stalls in search of their lost items.

As the Hedgehog Deity, Elliot didn't have to conceal his positive energy like Shannon. He didn't seem shy or anxious in the crowd, despite the number of ghosts in the market.
