Secret Buyer

Chapter 524 - 338: Just Call Me Central Pole Sect Leader!

(The recent Chapters are difficult to separate, so they are merged into two for two days)

Unlike the hovercars of the Golden Province,

the hovercars of the Celestial Capital surprisingly have space warp patterns engraved within them.

Normally, they are only seven to eight meters long and three to four meters wide, allowing entry, but inside, they are even more spacious than a football field!

Inside, it is also filled with people—all from aristocratic families rushing from the forty-nine provinces.

Looking closely, there might be as many as ten thousand.

"So many people??" Cui Wenda exclaimed in shock, with an elder beside him nodding slightly and explaining in a deep voice:

"This isn’t the full crowd, approximately half of them, families with even a slight ambition from the forty-nine provinces have sent people."

After pausing, the elder continued:

"Some families participating in the competition might have already declined, exhausting their last savings on travel expenses to the Celestial Capital, even heavily in debt."

"Then do you know why, despite this, they still insist on participating in the contest?"

Cui Wenda shook his head in confusion, while Cui Liuduo and Cui Wending beside him also fell into contemplation.

The elder asked and answered himself:

"The reason is simple: when misfortune reaches its peak, a stroke of good fortune arises, genius from these declining families appear, and thus they pin their hopes on these geniuses."

"In other words... most of the people here, besides a small group accompanying them for the contest, are contemporary prodigies."

All prodigies?

Cui Wenda’s expression changed, while Zhang Fusheng quietly glanced around, his eyes momentarily reflecting dense strings of cause and effect,

beneath the illumination of cause and effect, the details of the ten thousand people within the hovercar were laid bare to him.

"They truly are remarkable..."

Zhang Fusheng clicked his tongue in amazement, over ninety percent of the people here possess special constitutions or life plates,

for instance, having a natural sword bone, an innate body of purity, or being born with a ruler’s life plate or Seven Kill life plate, truly befitting this era of great contention.

He pondered, these people, if placed in other declining eras, the vast majority here would be protagonists of storybooks,

but now, they are merely among the masses.

Insignificant.

"Finally, waiting for today’s last group... what’s ten visions thinking, coming early in the morning, yet insisting on waiting until nearly midnight when everyone’s here before arranging accommodations?"

Inside the hovercar holding over ten thousand people, it was bustling with noise, there were complaints.

The elder led several to their seats, murmuring:

"This competition is arranged by the Ten Visions of the last round... it’s heard that the main hosts are the Kong and Meng families residing on the Floating Island..."

Kong and Meng families?

Zhang Fusheng raised his eyebrows; the Kong family, led by Kong Shentong, was the former Director of the Investigation Bureau and also head of the Ancient Saint Sect.

As for the Meng family?

If remembered correctly, the head of Meng family is Meng Qingtian, current leader of the Observatory, and secretly, also the Pope of the Celestial Principle Sect.

The Ancient Saint and Celestial Principle sects seem incompatible on the surface, yet the popes are close friends.

Zhang Fusheng smirked silently, Old Kong...

This old guy, impure thoughts, audacious, scheming against himself, scheming against the Other Shore World, also scheming against the High Heaven,

it’s the perfect time to exploit the remaining value from this competition.

As thoughts swirled, the hovercar started moving; at this moment, it was rushing towards the two-thousand-foot region,

inside, voices were clamoring, many who knew each other among the aristocratic families were having heated discussions, many noticed the Cui Family members boarding last.

"Is that the Qinghe Cui Family?"

"Yes, it’s them; I recognize that woman, her name is Cui Liuduo, the first prodigy of the Cui Family, said to be in her twenties, already at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm!"

"I heard the Qinghe Cui Family holds a Divine Book, capable of altering a being’s lifespan?"

"Indeed, the Qinghe Cui Family, although they rose to power over a thousand years ago, have the greatest chances in this Ten Visions contest..."

Such discussions permeated all around, many prodigies gazing over, mostly with undisguised hostility.

To alter lifespans, in other words, anyone below a divine spirit encountering the Cui Family is likely going to die on sight!

The best way is before the Cui Family members can react... strike and kill them!

At this moment.

At least a thousand killing intents locked onto them,

Cui Wending felt uneasy, glanced at the calm expression of Duoduo sister, then at the unchanged expression of Cui Wenda,

he couldn’t help but mentally ask:

"Does the clan brother seem not the least bit worried?"

Cui Wenda replied through mental transmission:

"The killing intent targeting us arises from fear and dread; I hold the Book of Life and Death, thus they should fear me, why should I panic?"

Cui Wending was rendered speechless; it seems... that makes sense?

Subconsciously, he glanced again at the young man in hemp garments suspected to be the family’s trump card,

The other was bowing his head, seemingly lost in meditation.

Equally unmoved by the piercing, heavy, layered killing intents.

Nearby, an immortal girl similarly so.

"It seems I fell to the lower grade." Cui Wending laughed bitterly.

Time passed,

Within moments,

The hovercar reached its destination.

"Still hard to imagine such a city existing in the world..." an aristocratic family member remarked softly.

Zhang Fusheng opened his eyes, looking out the window, the hovercar was hovering next to a massive hotel,

This place was situated on the ’platform’ of the two-thousand-foot region—the entire Celestial Capital was composed of ring-shaped platforms connected horizontally by divine trees,

The platform extended three hundred miles wide, surrounding the divine trees,

Eight thousand feet in height, with eighty layers, each larger than the former Jiangzhou City!
