Secret Buyer-Chapter 295 - 227: He Has Returned_2

The sound of boiling, the sound of clamor.

Suddenly fell silent at this moment.

Outside the ancestral hall, someone respectfully called—"Ancestor!"

The clan leader suddenly turned his head and saw a young girl stepping in.

The old clan leader, with white hair and an aged look, bowed down.

"Ancestor!"

He spoke excitedly:

"Have you... emerged from seclusion?"

"Breaking through higher than ever before."

The girl, clad in celestial attire, nodded slightly as she walked step by step, creating auspicious signs like celebrating clouds and auspices, and stood still in front of the Book of Life and Death.

She said lightly:

"I have borrowed the methods of the Western Sect to prove the Great True Man of Taoism."

The old clan leader remained prostrate, trembling with excitement:

"Great Power indeed..."

Above the Venerate is the Great Power.

The girl hummed through her nose, her gaze falling on the violently twisted void, frowning slightly and talking to herself:

"Who dares to steal my Book of Life and Death?"

As the words fell.

The void suddenly cracked open.

The old clan leader looked up, along with the celestial humans and those in the Innate Realm who rushed to the ancestral hall, all looking towards the torn-open void.

They saw a blurred scene: a huge altar, eighteen large drums, and figures in black robes...

In the center of the altar, an incense burner was placed, with curling green smoke, a human figure made of chaotic fog could be seen,

along with a prostrate figure that couldn’t be clearly seen.

"What is that?!"

Someone suddenly pointed at the blurry scene in the torn void and exclaimed.

The girl looked over.

She saw that altar seemed to connect to some unknown place, linking to some unknown deity,

vaguely revealing a magnificent imperial palace, and the Emperor’s Shadow with a crown draping nine curtains!!

She saw the Emperor’s Shadow reach out, descending!

The girl, with a cool demeanor, suddenly changed color, clearly sensing from that Emperor’s Shadow an unfathomable and terrifying position!

"Block!"

She softly ordered, her delicate hand resting on the Book of Life and Death, not daring to clash with the descending hand of the Emperor’s Shadow—the opponent’s position was too high!

Just by looking, she felt her heart throb and soul tremble.

"Unite!"

The girl spoke for the second time, issuing a command to heaven and earth, and under the great power of heaven and earth, the torn-open void suddenly closed,

and just before closing, the hand of the Emperor’s Shadow disappeared, leaving only the endless flow of vast Death Qi.

The phenomena disappeared.

Thick and pure Death Qi instantly filled the entire ancestral hall.

"This is..."

The old ancestor of the Cui Family whispered, squatting down, the celestial attire swaying, reaching out to touch the Death Qi. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She silently sensed.

"Death Qi from the Nine Nether..."

The girl calculated, deducing, her face suddenly turned pale, coughing out a mouthful of misty, endless Immortal Light, comparable to the Immortal Blood of hundreds of miraculous medicines.

Deduction complete.

She murmured the honorific of the Emperor’s Shadow.

"Master of the Nine Netherworld, Emperor of the Underworld, Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate, Central Pole Sect Leader, and... Master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

The ancestral hall fell silent.

For a long time.

The old clan leader softly asked:

"Ancestor, who is that?"

The old ancestor of the Cui Family closed her eyes, silently.

After a while, she opened her eyes and spoke deeply:

"He is the true owner of the Book of Life and Death... The altar just now was in the Golden Province."

The old clan leader shivered, hurriedly recounting the matter of Zhang Fusheng, whose lifespan repeatedly crossed limits.

The girl listened quietly, stood up, and stared at the Book of Life and Death.

"I actually stopped him from taking the Book of Life and Death..."

The old clan leader was puzzled:

"Isn’t stopping him a good thing?"

The words just fell when he suddenly felt heaven’s majesty like a prison, his Celestial Human Treasure Body cracked, and he coughed up blood.

"A good thing?"

The old ancestor of the Cui Family was furious, her voice as cold as frost:

"Do you even know who that was!"

She was frustrated, even perplexed, pacing back and forth for a long time before sighing:

"You haven’t become deities, you haven’t awakened, it’s normal not to know."

"Back then, when I picked up this Book of Life and Death from the wilderness of Golden City—do you know why others cannot handle or move the Book of Life and Death, but only our Cui Family can?"

"Do you think, why I don’t allow those named Cui to alter their lifespan?"

There was no answer, everyone bowed their heads.

The old ancestor of the Cui Family sighed softly:

"Enough, there’s no benefit in telling you more."

She gently stroked the Book of Life and Death, speaking softly:

"The Nine Nether, placed in an unimaginable location, has finally appeared, the one from legends, sitting in the Nine Nether just so..."

The girl affirmed, that blurry magnificent imperial palace, must be in the Nine Nether!

"Alright, now leave."

Everyone, including the old clan leader, quietly exited the ancestral hall, leaving the girl alone.

She raised her head, looking at the topmost placard among the many in the ancestral hall.

There was an ancient, decaying placard, exuding an extremely rich aura of time, as if it had endured countless years,

and within the placard were the characters "Cui Jue."

Beside the placard, there was an offering of a judge’s robe.

The girl softly called out:

"Forebear, the Master of the Nine Nether you spoke of, he has returned, already appeared."

Calling out many times, the placard remained motionless, as if the bit of mystery tied to it had been utterly exhausted.

The girl sighed again, murmuring to herself:

"The Golden Province, it’s not easy to get over there..."

......

The Great Wilderness.

The Central Pole Sect Leader withdrew his hand like lightning.

Following the cause and effect to reach his hand over there, though he couldn’t see the scene, he could clearly feel many presences,

just before,

Zhang Fusheng sensed several celestial human level auras, and even a more terrifying aura than Old Su!!

A deity.

"Is it the old ancestor of the Qinghe Cui Family?"

Zhang Fusheng murmured to himself, with a somewhat grave expression, making it troublesome indeed to obtain the Book of Life and Death.

He could only support Cui Wenda into becoming the true Book Holder.

His gaze fell on Du Mingsheng, who remained prostrate, not daring to move, and rasped:

"Second Seat, you may rise."

Du Mingsheng carefully raised his head, the torn void was already mended, the magnificent imperial palace and indescribable Emperor’s Shadow had disappeared.

He didn’t dare to rise immediately, dutifully reciting a line:

"Praise the Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate!"

Then he stood up.

His gaze returned, seeing the form of the True Man gradually blur, the chaotic fog dispersing, leaving only an echo.

"No need to linger in the waiting area anymore."

Du Mingsheng bowed, paying respects to the place where the chaotic fog dissipated:

"Farewell, True Man!"

......

The next day.

Zhang Fusheng boarded the plane and slowly took his seat.

There weren’t many people in the first-class cabin, besides himself, there was only a couple, looking somewhat familiar,

seemed like the two young people who fled in panic yesterday in the wilderness.

Quite a coincidence.

Zhang Fusheng didn’t mind, quietly leaning on his seat, as the plane took off, entering the designated flight path.

Chongyang City.

He looked out at the thick clouds, his gaze deep, quietly contemplating something while listening to the surroundings.

Not far away.

"Your ancestor’s grave... ah no, great tomb, is it really in Chongyang?" Luo Cheng asked curiously.

"I don’t know, I only dreamed of such places, I’ve checked all the locations except for Chongyang... If Chongyang also lacks, then it might be in another province."

Li Yiyi patted her chest, recalling the terrifying scene she saw yesterday, still a bit shaken.

She shook her head and sighed:

"Actually, I don’t want to search either, but if I don’t, I have to keep having that repetitious dream, forcing me to seek it out."

Luo Cheng clicked his tongue:

"If it really is a divine omen from an ancestor, that ancestor you mentioned, Li Shimin, isn’t a kind soul for bothering descendants like this..."

Li Yiyi pouted:

"Not really, the forebear who dreamt said there’s a treasure called the Ziwei Imperial Robe in that great tomb..."

Zhang Fusheng, who was watching the scenery outside the window, suddenly turned his head.
