Secret Buyer
Chapter 526 - 338: Just Call Me Central Pole Sect Leader! (8k+, Two-in-One)
He rubbed his forehead and said:
"If we really had divine foresight, how could our Zhuge family have been so fiercely suppressed by the Sima family, who were just lucky to rise to the top ten...."
Zhuge Si’s words stopped abruptly, squinting his eyes:
"Speak of the devil...."
A man in a silver robe was walking towards them, a figure the siblings knew all too well — the leader of the younger generation of the Sima family.
Sima Shi.
The man in the silver robe walked along the long street with his hands behind his back, giving the siblings a faint glance:
"So, are you also out searching for the Netherworld Ghost Market?"
Zhuge Yuyi’s pretty face turned cold:
"What does it have to do with you?"
Sima Shi sneered:
"Why so angry? I am the leader of the Sima family’s younger generation, and you are the head of this generation’s Zhuge family."
"We should talk peacefully — even though our two families have great animosity, after all, we are among the top ten, it’s only the small families that resort to shouting and killing."
Listening to this mocking voice from the man in the silver robe,
Zhuge Yuyi ground her teeth, making a grating sound, and said coldly:
"When it comes to the contest, I intend to cut you down."
Sima Shi laughed heartily:
"That name of yours was a poor choice, Zhuge Yuyi; ideally, you should leave a margin in everything, yet you leave none for yourself."
He suddenly restrained his smile:
"Zhuge girl, some words, once spoken, can’t be taken back."
The two confronted each other from a distance, the forces clashing, naturally stirring the dust, and under the violent air distortion, bringing up visible ripples in the air!
They were both almost in the realm of the Celestial Human.
Zhuge Si found it difficult to breathe, involuntarily taking a step back, but saw the clash between his sister and Sima Shi growing increasingly intense!
Light kept colliding in the void, appearing and disappearing, flashing and fading, with the void itself showing signs of cracking!
Sima Shi spoke in a low voice:
"Are you seeking the Netherworld at the orders of that old ghost of your Zhuge family, to find this Lord Tai Sui?"
A look of confusion appeared on Zhuge Si’s face, Lord Tai Sui?
What is that? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Wasn’t it said that going out might bump into the Netherworld by chance?
And what is this secret decree?
He saw his sister’s eyes suddenly become sharp:
"Why, did that old thing from your Sima family instruct you the same? Your mouth is not at all discreet."
Sima Shi chuckled:
"There’s no one else here, and with our ancestral treasures’ protection, no one can peek into this matter, so why would we need to keep anything hidden?"
He glanced at Zhuge Si:
"As for this little fellow... I’ll help you kill him later, won’t that naturally keep the secret secure...."
"Don’t you dare!"
Zhuge Yuyi glared coldly, with ten Grotto Heaven Reincarnations faintly revolving behind her, while Sima Shi smiled, not backing down an inch,
just as the clash of forces was about to turn into an actual combat.
’Thud, thud, thud’
Suddenly, there were footsteps at the end of the street.
Zhuge Yuyi and Sima Shi both froze — why were there footsteps?
During their confrontation, they both used ancestral treasures to shield the area, even disrupting the Celestial Secret,
logically, no one should be able to get close?
Instinctively, they looked towards the small alley at the end of the street.
’Thud, thud, thud’
The smooth sound of footsteps grew closer, the alley was deep and dark, revealing nothing,
until the newcomer reached the alley entrance, the first thing that came into view was a boot stepping into the bright light of the long street.
The boot was a dark cyan color, embroidered with gold thread, resembling ancient official boots,
followed by a figure in a mysterious robe, with pure black threads embroidering designs on it,
The mysterious and black colors blended together,
the designs were barely discernible, resembling palaces and mansions, high mountains and ancient bridges, tightly packed and strange.
Finally, what met their eyes was a face half-covered by a bronze mask.
The auras of conflict between Sima Shi and Zhuge Yuyi automatically redirected, pressing down towards this newcomer!
The void twisted, the former energy aimed to crush the newcomer, while the latter meant to shackle him.
But as the forces approached the mysterious robed figure,
the surging, mountain-shattering energy shockingly melted away like ice and snow.
Both turned pale in shock.
Zhang Fusheng dusted off his robe, adjusted the cool, bronze mask on his face, and said with a smile:
"Just passing through, why are you two so fierce?"
He looked at them with curiosity, clicking his tongue in amazement in his heart.
One from the Zhuge family, one from the Sima family, both were among the top ten of the past millennium... In some sense, until a new contest is completed, both families remain among the top ten.
Zhuge, Sima... such a coincidence?
Zhang Fusheng’s eyes flickered with a dark hue, and he immediately understood.
Alright.
It wasn’t a coincidence after all.
Cause and Effect reflected, Sima indeed descends from the royal line of the Jin dynasty, and Zhuge indeed is a descendant of the former prime minister’s lineage.
"Who are you?"
Two voices exclaimed simultaneously, as a broken spear appeared in Sima Shi’s hand, and Zhuge Yuyi raised an eyebrow, a bright lamp in her hand appearing from nowhere.
Zhang Fusheng glanced over, slightly surprised,
the broken spear obviously had some age to it, surprisingly carrying some of the Human Emperor’s Seal’s charm, and as for the lamp, it was extraordinary, clearly from the old world.
Upon inspecting the Cause and Effect further, the lamp was the main lamp of the Seven Star Lamp, while the broken spear was the spear used by the Sima family to assassinate the Wei Emperor — it had been refined into a Supreme Treasure.
Click.
Zhang Fusheng suddenly felt a bit dazed. In his past life, the stories of the Three Kingdoms were very familiar to him,
now seeing the descendants of the Sima family and Zhuge the prime minister right in front of him, how could he not feel dazed?
It actually made him feel slightly unreal.
"Who are you?!"
Sima Shi and Zhuge Yuyi asked again in unison.
Zhang Fusheng shrugged his shoulders:
