Secret Buyer

Chapter 446 - 305: Wei Zheng, Why Haven’t You Slain the Dragon Yet!

"Mr. Zhang, where did you hear these things?"

Zhang Fusheng made an ’oh’ sound and replied honestly:

"A young girl named Li Yiyi, she is the descendant of the master of the Thousand-Mile Zhaoling."

Wei Bushi’s tense nerves slightly relaxed, he said in a deep voice:

"These matters involve secrets of our two families, Mr. Zhang, please leave!"

His tone intensified, unequivocally showing the guest out,

Yuan Tiandao beside him also gripped his cane tightly, his hollow eyes ominously dark.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense.

Zhang Fusheng’s smile remained:

"Before obtaining an answer, how can one leave first? Please enlighten me, both of you, on how to open Zhaoling ahead of time?"

"Must it be Miss Li? Or does Yuan Feidao know this secret? If I unveil the Thousand-Mile Zhaoling, will Yin Chang’an reveal himself?"

With every word, the expressions of the two elders grew exceedingly grim,

In the backyard, Ruan Yutu walked over, widened her eyes upon seeing Zhang Fusheng, but did not speak, merely watched silently.

Beside Wei Bushi, the Dragon-slaying Sword suddenly appeared.

He said in a low tone:

"Mr. Zhang, please leave now?"

Wei Bushi’s tone was particularly firm, despite caution, it lacked the initial tremor,

Zhang Fusheng felt intrigued, examining the long sword carefully, keenly noticing that the Dragon-slaying Sword seemed to have gained some ’spiritual energy.’

Moreover, there was a kind of great edge restrained within, ready to burst forth at any moment!

The Dragon-slaying Sword had grown stronger than before.

Was it because the Thousand-Mile Zhaoling was about to open?

Or was it due to some other reason?

Thoughts whirled in Zhang Fusheng’s mind as he realized that to initiate the "Westward Journey Begins" event, he had to complete the crucial nodes,

Guanyin gifting the robe and Zen Staff, Emperor Tang entering the Underworld, hosting the water and land ceremony, and Wei Zheng slaying the dragon in his dream.

From the logical replay of the predetermined events, the grand scheme remains unchanged, details overlooked,

Thus, this sword might not need to slay a dragon.

But it must slay some living being.

Could it not be himself?

Zhang Fusheng thus spoke with a smile:

"You two should know some of my background, yet you are attempting to show me out, are you not afraid of me turning hostile?"

Yuan Tiandao stepped back,

Wei Bushi then raised his head, staring fixedly at Zhang Fusheng:

"Mr. Zhang, do you really refuse to withdraw?"

Beside him, the Dragon-slaying Sword emitted a soft hum, ripples spreading out, the Yellow Teeth Old Man nearby swallowed nervously.

Zhang Fusheng’s smile faded:

"I came to this place to open Zhaoling—withdraw?"

"Talk of withdrawing?"

As he spoke, black mist churned behind him, skeletal figures floating and sinking within, not lacking the aura of Celestial Human and Innate Level!

The entire Yuan Mansion was on the brink of eruption.

Wei Bushi suddenly closed his eyes, holding the sword, moments later.

An Immortal Shadow emerged from the void, taking the Dragon-slaying Sword from Wei Bushi’s unmoving hand,

Li Xiuyuan’s eyes shone, the Yellow Teeth Old Man held his breath, concentrated.

"Do you retreat, or do you remain?"

The Immortal Shadow’s voice floated ethereally, as the Dragon-slaying Sword hummed, an ancient figure seemed to float within.

Zhang Fusheng stared at the long sword, calmly said:

"Mercy."

The Immortal Shadow drew the sword from its sheath, its light like a long rainbow!

But as the rainbow pierced through the day—

Above the Other Shore World, suddenly there was a booming sound.

The sword light abruptly halted, everyone in the courtyard lifted their eyes in surprise, gazing at the Celestial Vault, only to see that Celestial Stele suppressing the heavens briefly lose luster!

In this tremor.

’Roar!!’

Dragon chant echoed, a True Dragon entered the realm, accompanied by hundred-mile celestial light and thousand-mile mist, crashing straight into the Other Shore World!

The Celestial Stele glowed again, the rule barring Immortal Gods from entering reactivated, but the dragon, within the domain, Venerate’s grand momentum swept across the entire world,

No sooner had the beings in the Other Shore World shown signs of shock,

In Chang’an Town, the celestial light dimmed.

The True Dragon had already reached above the town’s celestial vault.

"Star Beast?"

Zhang Fusheng murmured, but soon sensed something amiss, for the True Dragon swirling in the sky was glaring directly at him, its eyes colored differently from a mindless Star Beast.

Not a Star Beast.

This was a dragon with consciousness, a purposeful dragon aimed at him.

"Arrived... too timely indeed."

Zhang Fusheng sighed in wonder, gazing at the Immortal Shadow wielding the Dragon-slaying Sword, he spoke lightly:

"In the past Wei Zheng slew the dragon, now a True Dragon descends, why do you not draw your sword skyward?"

"Go, go, go!"

His tongue lashed like a lotus, body shimmering in golden light, holding a vaguely large seal with great dignity, like a human emperor in person!

"Wei Zheng, why do you not go and slay the dragon!"

Saint’s Golden Body, Human Ancestor Position, Human Emperor’s Seal, Words and Laws Follow.

It was a decree, akin to an emperor’s mandate.

’Clang!!!’

The Dragon-slaying Sword resonated, within it an ancient figure briefly awakened, stepped out from the sword, took up the sword edge from the Immortal Shadow,

Then, under the bewildered gazes of all in the courtyard, the ancient figure mutely stepped forward, ascending to the heavens!

The True Dragon roared, sword light erupted again, briefly tearing through the celestial canopy above the Other Shore World,

Lines of Divine Spirit’s sight abruptly penetrated downward!!

The courtyard fell silent.

"So this is the Wei Family’s trump card? How does the Dream Dragon-Slaying Technique compare to the ancestor himself appearing to slay the dragon?"

The light voice echoed, the Immortal Shadow bereft of the Dragon-slaying Sword looked at the youth in horror.

How... did he do it?

The ancestor, how did he truly heed his words, emerge from the sword, and ascend to the heavens?
