Go on, go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke while smiling, his voice carrying a chilling undertone, causing many of the aristocratic children with relatively low cultivation to shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car door opened, originally half a meter wide, extending to thirty meters wide under the spatial patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng followed the Cui family elder and disembarked amidst the crowded throng, which was then guided to disperse by one servant after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving so many people at once, it was past midnight by the time they were completely settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he glanced around and suddenly spoke with intention:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The official competition starts on March 1st, half a month away. Daoist Venerable, during this half month... are you staying here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Cui Wending asked puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, if the Daoist Venerable isn’t staying with us, then where will he stay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng casually replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll see, probably staying here for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought clearly, the calculation related to the Netherworld may not necessarily be aimed at him—it is likely to target the Cui family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To join the game, one needs to stay with the Cui family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Celestial Capital is vast, and as a newcomer, he indeed had no destination. As for Lin Dongxi...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems, Senior Sister really has encountered a ’distinguished person.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder walked over, drawing the curtains, and then turned back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng turned his head, speaking with interest:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you choose to go out at night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder hesitated for a moment, scratching his nose before frankly admitting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going to the black market to meet this famous figure in the grey world of the Celestial Capital—called the Old Lord Taishui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, he added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, if the Book of Life and Death wants to rewrite lifespan, knowing the name is necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wending curiously asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why must it be at night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder answered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At night, the Old Lord Taishui will only come out to preside; he never shows up during the day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng raised his eyebrows, Old Lord Taishui?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This name is interesting, a coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be back soon.\" The elder instructed, leaving quickly, and the spacious living room instantly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to spar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The always silent Cui Liuduo suddenly spoke, Zhang Fusheng glanced at her, as she stared straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng chuckled, this little one, really wants to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, not responding, and under Cui Liuduo’s almost fiery gaze, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the curtain-like sheer fabric, Zhang Fusheng gazed at the outside scenery, his gaze growing deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t sense the Netherworld, but sensed the cold Death Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this entire floor, this entire twentieth-floor platform, the Death Qi flowed, and where both Death Qi and Yin Qi were most concentrated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was precisely this hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably not a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding towards Ruan Yutu, Zhang Fusheng ignored Cui Liuduo, who was grinding her teeth, and returned to his room solo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the door closed, he stealthily slipped out of the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rather than waiting for the plan to find me, why not I try seeking out the Netherworld first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng changed into a dark black robe, his straw sandals turning into gold-threaded black boots, the rough straw hat was directly removed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>replaced by a mask resembling a ghost or terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, the mask resembled the appearance of the [Central Pole Sect Leader].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Netherworld... how to enter the Netherworld?\" Zhang Fusheng walked along the deserted long street, whispering with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, didn’t they say in this two-thousand-foot district, it’s best not to casually walk around at night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to be afraid of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Yuyi replied indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Zhuge Si shivered, looking at the deserted long street with a mournful face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But surely we shouldn’t sneak out? At least we should have told Uncle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Yuyi cast a contemptuous glance at her younger brother, snorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Zhuge family is one of the Ten Outlooks, and you can’t even muster this bit of courage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Si looked bitter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This millennium, if we could still be one of the Ten Outlooks, that would be a miracle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Yuyi glared at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop talking nonsense! Besides, great-grandfather said it was a loophole, but I asked him—everything was planned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great-grandfather’s divinely planned it, he calculated the loophole!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his sister, Zhuge Si rolled his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the only one who believes this; great-grandfather with his big toe all day, divine calculations?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",997,"2026-06-08T09:33:41.990Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce929374b84db4b1e79b694ac1d470ba0703781a56bc771805bc36c39198883f","secret-buyer-chapter-526","secret-buyer-chapter-524",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsecret-buyer-cover.jpg"]
