Secret Buyer

Chapter 444 - 305: Wei Zheng, Why Haven’t You Gone to Slay the Dragon Yet!

Buddha’s Light poured in like an ocean, vast and majestic; within the sea, figures were faint and blurred, moving step by step upon lotus blooms. Yet, as it approached Chang’an Town,

that Buddha’s Light, that ocean, those figures,

all vanished into thin air.

The townspeople looked at each other in confusion, searching around, unaware of what had transpired.

At the same time, in a corner of the town,

a young man and woman walked side by side on a desolate long street. The street was very quiet; traders and residents had long been driven out of town,

and of the Celestial Humans and Innates occupying the town, few bothered to come to this secluded place.

"World Venerate?"

Lin Changle looked bewilderedly at the youth beside him, who no longer appeared as beautiful as an Immortal.

The World-Honored One Buddha had, at some unknown time, transformed back into the true appearance of "Zhang Fusheng."

Zhang Fusheng did not respond to Lin Changle’s question but simply extended his hand with a gentle press.

’Buzz!’

Lin Changle seemed to hear the buzzing sound of countless thin threads being plucked simultaneously, yet it also seemed like an illusion.

Meanwhile.

Ten days ago, at the summit of Other Shore Mountain, Zhang Fusheng openly declared that the World Venerate was Zhang Fusheng himself, and the widespread dissemination and whispers created a massive cause and effect,

with over ninety percent of the cause and effect being suppressed at this moment by a single hand.

The direct result,

was that, beneath Venerate, those who originally knew the World Venerate as Zhang Fusheng no longer did.

"If I use All Things are Void, perhaps I could truly erase the consequences of this past time... but the consumption might be far beyond my imagination."

"Now, even with the spirit’s Ascension to God, Saint’s Golden Body, the Position above the Human Ancestor... gathered together, I still need to exhaust myself thousands upon thousands of times."

Zhang Fusheng’s mind raced with thoughts, his Dao of Cause and Effect gradually deepening, and in a sense,

he already possessed the ability to do some unimaginable things, akin to interfering with time.

For instance, at this moment, Zhang Fusheng forcibly cut off the consequence of "knowing the World Venerate as Zhang Fusheng,"

but he did not intend to truly rewrite this result through the Dao of Cause and Effect,

all Zhang Fusheng wanted was to see how many deeply hidden figures there truly were in Chang’an Town—after all, Divine Spirit-level figures and certain special people,

even he could not easily influence the lines of cause and effect upon these individuals.

Zhang Fusheng silently sensed.

"Before I suppressed the cause and effect event of the World Venerate being Zhang Fusheng."

"Cause and effect revealed that almost everyone in Chang’an Town knew this truth."

Ten days ago, when Zhang Fusheng spoke of this at Other Shore Mountain, he did not shy away from the Celestial Humans of various teachings and sects,

this matter had long been spread, at least within the Other Shore World, those at the level of Celestial Humans almost all knew.

But after Zhang Fusheng suppressed the knowledge clause and eradicated the fruit of insight,

he could sense that,

in Chang’an Town, excluding Lin Changle beside him, there were still several people whose cognition remained unchanged.

"Li Xiuyuan, Yellow Teeth Old Man, Li Erfeng... these three were within my expectations, all very special."

"It’s only natural that I can’t easily interfere with the cause and the effect on them."

"But who are you?"

Zhang Fusheng looked at the fourth person whose cause and effect had not been altered,

a young girl, carrying on her back something enveloped in black cloth, imperceptible.

Who was she?

Zhang Fusheng tried to probe and trace through layers of cause and effect, only to find the lines upon her body were vague and indistinct, either suppressed by some treasure or her Position and Life Plate were extremely special, or...

was she a Divine Spirit above Venerate?

For even Venerate could not obstruct Zhang Fusheng’s gaze.

"Interesting."

Zhang Fusheng murmured to himself, looking at the fifth person whose cause and effect remained intact, a small old man, shabby and untidy, resembling himself during his Five Declines,

but it was clearly apparent that the cause and effect on the small old man could be partially perceived, indicating at most a creature at the Venerate level,

as for how he entered the Other Shore World... most likely, this was a special puppet body?

What’s worth noting is that this shabby old man was tagging along with Li Yiyi and Luo Cheng.

This indeed was interesting.

As he pondered, Zhang Fusheng, with Lin Changle, moved forward, walked out of this secluded alley, and reached the bustling area,

at this time, the many Celestial Humans and Innates on the road were still looking around in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

"Where is... the World Venerate?" someone asked, as the World Venerate strode forward, the Buddha Sea like a tide, now vanished, unseen and unreachable.

The Celestial Humans discussed in whispers.

Zhang Fusheng seemed oblivious, leading Lin Changle past, many gazes fell upon them with an inquisitive flavor,

after all, two seemingly young individuals were rare in today’s Chang’an Town,

they must either be elderly monsters preserving their youth or descendants at the limit of some Celestial Human—

only the extreme Celestial Human level was entitled to bring small creatures below Innate into Chang’an Town; this was a consensus.

Thus,

under the watchful eyes of many,

the handsome youth remained unfazed, leading Lin Changle across the long street where Martial Mansion was located,

he glanced sideways at this mansion, peering through the gate, gazing at his parents munching on sunflower seeds in the yard.

Chang’an Town was about to become a center of chaos.

But truly, not just Chang’an,

with a world of great contention beginning, perhaps instability would be everywhere, Zhang Fusheng did not know where to place his parents,

perhaps, the Other Shore World is the best choice—

at least here was already his "stronghold."

If any mishap were to occur, it would first befall him.

"Never mind..."

Zhang Fusheng softly sighed and continued forward, until he stood in front of Yuan Mansion’s door.

He paused and gently knocked thrice.

On the long street, gazes fell upon him; the three mansions in town, even these Celestial Humans were wary of them,
