Secret Buyer

Chapter 525 - 338: Just Call Me Central Pole Sect Leader! (8k+, Double - )

"Here we are."

The driver’s somewhat wooden and sinister voice echoed within the car cabin accommodating thousands:

"This is the residence prepared by Master Meng for the aristocratic children participating in the competition. Go on, go on."

He spoke while smiling, his voice carrying a chilling undertone, causing many of the aristocratic children with relatively low cultivation to shiver.

The car door opened, originally half a meter wide, extending to thirty meters wide under the spatial patterns.

Zhang Fusheng followed the Cui family elder and disembarked amidst the crowded throng, which was then guided to disperse by one servant after another.

Arriving so many people at once, it was past midnight by the time they were completely settled.

"Finally arrived."

The elder exhaled, as the six of them were allocated a large suite with six rooms and two living areas, spanning three to four hundred square meters.

At this moment, he glanced around and suddenly spoke with intention:

"The official competition starts on March 1st, half a month away. Daoist Venerable, during this half month... are you staying here?"

Beside him, Cui Wending asked puzzled:

"Elder, if the Daoist Venerable isn’t staying with us, then where will he stay?"

The elder ignored him.

Zhang Fusheng casually replied:

"We’ll see, probably staying here for now."

He thought clearly, the calculation related to the Netherworld may not necessarily be aimed at him—it is likely to target the Cui family.

To join the game, one needs to stay with the Cui family.

Besides, the Celestial Capital is vast, and as a newcomer, he indeed had no destination. As for Lin Dongxi...

Zhang Fusheng’s gaze was deep; upon entering the Celestial Capital, he could already perceive Lin Dongxi’s location, at the utmost heights, in the eight-thousand-foot district.

It seems, Senior Sister really has encountered a ’distinguished person.’

The elder walked over, drawing the curtains, and then turned back:

"Everyone should rest after the fatigue of the journey; as for me, I need to head out for a while... be cautious, don’t casually leave at night."

Zhang Fusheng turned his head, speaking with interest:

"Why do you choose to go out at night?"

The elder hesitated for a moment, scratching his nose before frankly admitting:

"Going to the black market to meet this famous figure in the grey world of the Celestial Capital—called the Old Lord Taishui."

After a pause, he added:

"The patriarch has arranged in advance, I’m going to collect the list from the Old Lord Taishui—the list of aristocratic children participating in this competition."

"After all, if the Book of Life and Death wants to rewrite lifespan, knowing the name is necessary."

Cui Wending curiously asked:

"Why must it be at night?"

The elder answered:

"At night, the Old Lord Taishui will only come out to preside; he never shows up during the day..."

Zhang Fusheng raised his eyebrows, Old Lord Taishui?

This name is interesting, a coincidence?

He checked cause and effect but hit a wall again, unable to trace specifics... one can only say, as expected of the Federation’s capital?

With any person, it’s hard to discern their inner cause and effect, either their life plate or position is extraordinarily high, or they are a Great Power of the current era.

Interesting.

"I’ll be back soon." The elder instructed, leaving quickly, and the spacious living room instantly fell silent.

"Want to spar?"

The always silent Cui Liuduo suddenly spoke, Zhang Fusheng glanced at her, as she stared straight at him.

Spar?

Zhang Fusheng chuckled, this little one, really wants to challenge him.

He waved his hand, not responding, and under Cui Liuduo’s almost fiery gaze, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Through the curtain-like sheer fabric, Zhang Fusheng gazed at the outside scenery, his gaze growing deeper.

Couldn’t sense the Netherworld, but sensed the cold Death Qi.

On this entire floor, this entire twentieth-floor platform, the Death Qi flowed, and where both Death Qi and Yin Qi were most concentrated,

was precisely this hotel.

Probably not a coincidence.

Nodding towards Ruan Yutu, Zhang Fusheng ignored Cui Liuduo, who was grinding her teeth, and returned to his room solo.

Once the door closed, he stealthily slipped out of the hotel.

"Rather than waiting for the plan to find me, why not I try seeking out the Netherworld first..."

Zhang Fusheng changed into a dark black robe, his straw sandals turning into gold-threaded black boots, the rough straw hat was directly removed,

replaced by a mask resembling a ghost or terror.

Upon closer inspection, the mask resembled the appearance of the [Central Pole Sect Leader].

"Netherworld... how to enter the Netherworld?" Zhang Fusheng walked along the deserted long street, whispering with interest.

.........

"Sis, didn’t they say in this two-thousand-foot district, it’s best not to casually walk around at night?"

"What’s there to be afraid of?"

Zhuge Yuyi replied indifferently:

"It’s just that the Yin Qi is heavy here, prone to mistakenly entering the Netherworld... I’m genuinely curious about the capital’s Netherworld."

Beside her, Zhuge Si shivered, looking at the deserted long street with a mournful face:

"But surely we shouldn’t sneak out? At least we should have told Uncle?"

Zhuge Yuyi cast a contemptuous glance at her younger brother, snorted:

"Our Zhuge family is one of the Ten Outlooks, and you can’t even muster this bit of courage?"

Zhuge Si looked bitter:

"Sis, don’t you know how we became one of the Ten Outlooks? Great-grandfather was lucky back then, stumbled upon a loophole, that’s how we became one of the Ten Outlooks a thousand years ago..."

"This millennium, if we could still be one of the Ten Outlooks, that would be a miracle!"

Zhuge Yuyi glared at him:

"Stop talking nonsense! Besides, great-grandfather said it was a loophole, but I asked him—everything was planned!"

"Great-grandfather’s divinely planned it, he calculated the loophole!"

Listening to his sister, Zhuge Si rolled his eyes:

"You are the only one who believes this; great-grandfather with his big toe all day, divine calculations?"
