Secret Buyer

Chapter 601 - 359: Immortal Sinking Sword, Immortal-Slaying Gourd, and Other Shore Bone (1/2)

(There’s another Chapter)

Celestial Capital, beneath the floating Imperial City, in the district of Jianmu, eight thousand zhang.

All departments, except the highest one — the Six Paths Department, have their headquarters here.

This place is the truly most prosperous area in the entire Celestial Capital, even more so than the floating Imperial City,

after all, the floating Imperial City consists more of quaint, antique buildings that are even truly from ’ancient’ times.

At this moment, in the Investigation Bureau building.

On the top floor, the grand conference room.

The leaders of the nine divisions of the Investigation Bureau are all gathered here.

"Two matters."

The current Investigation Director spoke solemnly:

"First."

With a thought, their vast Spiritual Thoughts surged into four portraits, each one depicting a governor of the rebellious provinces.

Among them, Su Qiansuan is exceptionally prominent and conspicuous.

The Investigation Director continued:

"These four little ones are naturally of no importance, but the people behind them are mysterious, all supported by Great Divine Power Users, even..."

"Perhaps not only Great Divine Power Users."

The Third Department Head spoke softly:

"We have already begun the investigation, but it is very troublesome. These four are flawless, unable to uncover the truth behind them."

The Seventh Department Head suddenly spoke:

"Yet not entirely without clues, everyone, please look here."

They first bowed to the Director, then gestured with a hand, revealing a spiritual image of a handsome Divine Spirit clad in Golden Armor.

"Does anyone recognize this person?"

The Seventh Department Head asked.

The department heads exchanged glances, someone nodded and said:

"Naturally recognized, Golden Armor, also considered an elder of the Federation, with extremely deep experience. Had it not been for offending the Ao family, he would have obtained immortal medicine and proven his Great Power long ago."

"Perhaps, now he is close to the level of Great Divine Power User... Why, is this person related to the rebellious provinces?"

The department heads frowned, finding it hard to believe, as Golden Armor’s experience is indeed very old,

even of the same era as the Director, rising to prominence tens of thousands of years ago.

The Seventh Department Head remained calmly:

"Exactly, according to our investigation, this person has an undeniable relationship with Su Qiansuan, and the new orthodox religion he has been promoting recently is also inextricably linked to the High Heaven Association..."

As they spoke,

They gestured again, displaying numerous related materials in front of the department heads, and after all had finished reviewing,

The Seventh Department Head then bowed and said:

"Director, I request to execute the Divine Spirit arrest ordinance, implementing the second restriction ordinance, to capture and interrogate Golden Armor."

The Director slightly frowned, after a moment of silence, sighed lightly:

"Approved."

It seems, as rumored, both Golden Armor and they did have a special past when young.

Rubbing their temple, the Investigation Director combed their hair, revealing a slender neck, sweeping a glance before continuing:

"This second matter concerns a place known as Two Realms Mountain on the World Plateau."

"According to investigations, there’s an extremely large abyss outside Two Realms Mountain. I plan to dispatch a special investigation team to explore. Who is willing to go?"

The crowd exchanged puzzled looks.

The Seventh Department Head stood up and bowed again:

"Director, I am willing to go."

"Approved."

The Investigation Director nodded slightly, a shimmering glint in their eyes:

"Now I issue my decree, the Seventh Department Head personally goes to Two Realms Mountain to investigate anomalies. Additionally, dispatch a detaining god team to capture Golden Armor."

"Yes, Director!"

The department heads responded in unison, respectfully saluting and bowing.

.........

On the floating island.

Ancient courtyard.

’Creak~!’

Golden Armor gently knocked on the door, after a moment, the door slowly opened, and behind it was a young girl with thick sorrow in her brow and eyes.

"Who are you?"

Chen Nuanyu glanced briefly, her gaze stopping on the young man wearing a bamboo hat—though the youth’s appearance was unclear,

she recognized the serene woman beside him!

She had clearly seen this stunning woman days ago, in Kong’s residence, accompanying that ’Daoist Venerable Sir’!

Chen Nuanyu’s eyelid twitched, so, is this the Daoist Venerable?

Golden Armor timely bowed:

"I am Golden Armor, here to visit Tianlao today."

The opulent woman beside him nodded as well:

"Zhang Xueyu, here to see Tianlao."

Speaking as such, both accompanied by the guardians subconsciously glanced at the young man with the bamboo hat — he did not announce his name, merely stood silently.

Who is this person?

Golden Armor and Zhang Xueyu both displayed perplexity—neither had visited Kong’s residence,

nor did they naturally recognize the Six Desires Celestial Maiden, coupled with Zhang Fusheng now wearing a bamboo hat and having traded his coarse robe for a brocade, naturally they did not recognize him.

Chen Nuanyu exhaled, about to speak, when an ancient voice from the courtyard sounded:

"Please all come in."

Chen Nuanyu silently stepped aside.

The group entered the ancient courtyard, the first sight greeting them was a wide, seemingly long-standing practice ground,

on the practice ground was a large round table at which several young men and women were eating brunch.

The meal was not particularly lavish, merely a few plates of steaming meat buns, complemented by a few dishes of mild cold vegetables.

The Tianlao reclined quietly on a lounge chair, holding a palm fan, gently swaying.

Chen Nuanyu returned to the round table, made a signal, the Buddha Son, Lin Dongxi, and others curiously looked at the five newcomers,

their gazes collectively locked onto the serene woman, all their pupils contracted,

even Little Child, nibbling on a meat bun, inhaled sharply—and subsequently inhaled the crumbs into his windpipe, leading to a severe coughing fit.

Tianlao glanced sideways with surprise, somewhat puzzled, but seeing the young ones all silent,

they couldn’t be bothered to inquire, merely looked at the newcomers, speaking calmly:
