Secret Buyer

Chapter 379 - 277: Ancient Saint Sect, the Pope Arrives

After all, if you change too much of the past, things will become uncontrollable, and you might die inexplicably.

But if it’s just to gather intelligence?

That would be the perfect tool!

One could use this method to ’overturn the table’ without any cost, extract limitless intelligence, and have near-infinite opportunities to trial and error!

Zhang Fusheng gazed at the golden blazing light rising from Kong Zhongshu, which seemed like a special sacrifice, a bloodline sacrifice.

A web of starlight shimmered densely in Zhang Fusheng’s eyes,

He saw Kong Zhongshu connecting through the bloodline, communicating with an incredibly powerful existence — succeeded!

An incomplete Buddha Country, forged from the real world, was pierced in an instant,

as magnificent light and shadows descended.

"Grandpa Kong!" Meng Xiaoshi exclaimed.

The illusionary giant formed by light and shadow stood holding a scripture, towering a hundred miles high,

and its mere existence silenced all light in the Buddha Country, dissipated the Brahma Sound, and replaced it with ethereal music resonating throughout the heavens and earth,

expounding the marvelous sounds of benevolence and righteousness!

Is this... a Great Divine Power User?

Zhang Fusheng squinted his eyes, yes, it’s indeed a Great Divine Power User.

Such an aura is close to that of the Red Bull True Monarch back in the day, but this is just an incarnation,

undoubtedly, the true body of the Light and Shadow Giant stands on the same level as the Red Bull True Monarch.

The light and shadow made Zhang Fusheng’s eyes ache.

"I know the cause and consequence." An immense sound came from above, vibrating into existence, and just the sound waves,

cracked the appearance of the shabby old man all over, like fragile porcelain, covered with cracks,

even causing golden Arhat blood to uncontrollably flow from his ears!

"How did you come to know the secrets of Confucius and Mencius?"

The Light and Shadow Giant spoke calmly, the voice pressing down, accompanied by an irresistible mystery, making Zhang Fusheng unconsciously want to reveal the truth.

But this urge was forcibly suppressed by his [Human Ancestor Position].

He raised his head.

"A Great Divine Power User among the mortal world, in various sects is a person of Pope-level status... and indeed you bear no aura of the Celestial Position, not a True God."

He exhaled,

Zhang Fusheng said calmly:

"If my guess is correct, your excellency is the Pope of the Ancient Saint Sect?"

The light words flowed out, and Meng Xiaoshi was astounded, looking incredulously at the Grandpa Kong in the sky.

When she was little, she often tugged at Grandpa’s beard for fun, although it never came off.

The next second,

the Light and Shadow Giant nodded gently:

"Indeed, I am."

Meng Xiaoshi stood frozen in place, all thoughts in her mind stagnant, completely dazed.

Her previous understanding collapsed at this moment.

Could Grandpa Kong... be the Pope of an evil cult??

Amidst confusion, an unstoppable panic swept over her heart, what about her family ancestor?

Zhang Fusheng now asked with a smile:

"Then, the Meng Family’s ancestor should be the Pope of the Celestial Principle Sect, right?"

The Light and Shadow Giant spoke indifferently:

"Yes."

Zhang Fusheng exclaimed:

"The Kong and Meng families hold a remarkable position in the Federation, generations of friendship, and yet the ancestors of the two families are the Popes of two opposing evil cults..."

He understood why Kong Zhongshu reacted so greatly.

The Federation despises the evil cults — despite many cultists having high positions in various provinces and cities.

But all that operates in secret shadows.

If exposed, they would still be hunted down — the Kong and Meng families should be no different.

Evil Cults are parasites on the Federation itself.

Zhang Fusheng mused at the secrets he uncovered about the Kong and Meng families based on past life’s understanding...

He heard a girl named Meng Xiaoshi, in a collapsed manner, mumble:

"Impossible, impossible..."

The little girl lifted her head, her eyes red:

"Grandpa Kong, how could you be a cultist?"

She queried:

"The former Director of the Investigation Bureau, the one who protected countless cities and lands, Kong Shentong, is a cultist??"

Zhang Fusheng’s eyes widened.

Huh?

His expression turned strange, previously wondering how the Kong and Meng families hid it for so long,

now suddenly enlightened.

The Investigation Bureau is the highest organization responsible for investigating evil cults.

Uh...

The Light and Shadow Giant cast a glance at Meng Xiaoshi, sighed softly:

"Sleep."

Meng Xiaoshi immediately nodded off to sleep.

The next moment,

the Light and Shadow Giant collapsed, transforming into the size of an ordinary person, walking step by step down from the Celestial Vault, with every step causing the entire Buddha Country to tremble violently.

The figure stood before the disheveled old man, calmly inquiring:

"How did you come to know about the Kong and Meng families?"

Kong Shentong asked for the second time, endless mysteries engulfing Zhang Fusheng, he was almost about to blurt out the truth but held back.

Zhang Fusheng raised an eyebrow,

looking directly at this worldly-walking Great Divine Power User:

"I know, that’s all."

A scroll unfurled behind him, depicting a Red Bull.

"Plague?"

Kong Shentong’s expression remained calm:

"A few days ago, a great change occurred in the Different Dimension, the God of Plague fell, turns out it was related to you... Is this your confidence?"

He gazed at the shabby old man before him, unable to discern this person’s background or future,

most astoundingly, this man could resist his ethereal music!

For ordinary Divine Path Powers,

if he questioned, they would have nothing to hide, but the person before him, only possessing a Venerable’s body without the cultivation,

could resist.

Plus the matter of the Plague’s fall...

Although there are differences among Great Divine Power Users, the God of Plague and himself were the same realm.

Zhang Fusheng gazed at the elegant old man formed by light and shadow in front of him, asked with interest:

"Why haven’t you cut me down yet?"

Kong Shentong stood silently, quietly observing Zhang Fusheng.

After a while, he spoke calmly:

"You have strong confidence, you are not afraid of death... no, you are certain you will not die by my hands, but where does your confidence come from?"

"Is it because of the Red Bull True Monarch in the painting? Or the person you conspired with to cause Red Bull’s fall from the Celestial Position? Or something else?"

The old man seemed to be asking, but more so talking to himself.

Zhang Fusheng was in no hurry to change the past, gathering information came naturally.

Most critically...

His Spiritual Sense no longer warned him — this meant, the old man no longer harbored any lethal intent toward him.

Strange.

"Where do you come from?" Kong Shentong asked.

"Where do I come from?"

Zhang Fusheng pondered for a moment, calmly said:

"High Heaven."

"So you’re from the High Heaven Association... But you are no ordinary member."

Kong Shentong said peacefully:

"As far as I know, there is a small core group in the High Heaven Association that can reach the so-called beyond the High Heaven, to meet the Celestial Venerate?"

"That’s true."

Zhang Fusheng replied casually:

"Does Kong Jiaozong want to join?"

As the words fell,

he saw the old man formed by light and shadow nod lightly:

"Very well."
