Chapter 606 - 345: Grandmasters of the World Gather at Celestial Secret City
As soon as Qin Yuesheng took action, within half a month, pawnshops, herbal shops, banks, and fabric stores using the Qin name blossomed all over Jiangnan.
Without Qin Feng himself knowing anything about it, the Qin family’s businesses had unknowingly expanded several dozen times over.
On this day, Qin Yuesheng said goodbye to his family and intended to go outside to Celestial Secret City as he had an appointment there. It was a grand gathering of Grandmasters from all over the world, and he had no reason not to take a look.
Just as Qin Yuesheng left, a bunch of unexpected visitors arrived at the Qin Mansion.
"Master Qin, here is the property deed for the Qin’s Inn in Forgotten Immortal City, Jiangnan, please have a look."
"Master Qin, here is the property deed for the Qin’s Tavern in Lijiang City, Jiangnan, please have a look."
"Master Qin, here is the property deed for the Qin’s Medical Hall in Huanglian County, Jiangnan, please have a look."
...
Members from the Tai Sui Alliance all over the place were presenting the property deeds they had brought from afar to Qin Feng, whose face was stunned.
"Everyone, what’s this? Our Qin family doesn’t have any outside city property deeds, are you mistaken?" Qin Feng waved his hands quickly and said.
"They’re yours, Master Qin. We were ordered by Young Master Qin to set up the Qin family businesses outside, and now it’s time to return the deeds to you, so you can send people to take over."
Looking at the heaps of property deeds being handed over, Qin Feng’s eyes were nearly dazzled.
"Yuesheng, you damned kid, what on earth have you been up to secretly?"
...
"Ah Qiu!" Running through the air, Qin Yuesheng suddenly sneezed, "Who is cursing me?"
Jiangnan is not too far from Celestial Secret City. Even Qin Yuesheng, who had never been there, knew the exact location.
On the shore of the East Sea, the majestic Celestial City looked like a proud lion crouching on the coastline from afar.
A lot of figures appeared outside Celestial Secret City, and after a glance, they each showed their divine abilities to enter the city.
Judging from the aura they emitted, all were Grandmasters.
Martial Artists of the Inner Power Realm stood on both sides of the city gate to welcome the guests. If anyone from the Jianghu saw this scene, they would inevitably express shock.
Experts of the Inner Power Realm, considered top-tier combat power in Jianghu, were here only for welcoming guests. What kind of strong foundation does this show?
A huge celestial crane came whistling, and on its back sat an old man with crane-like hair and a childlike face, carrying an iron ruler, with the scent of alcohol emanating from his mouth, apparently having just drunk some wine.
Someone in Celestial Secret City, upon seeing this scene, immediately exclaimed: "Grandmaster Zhou Tong of the Celestial Crane! It’s been years since anyone has seen him; we thought he was long gone, yet he is still so robust."
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded from afar, and people turned their heads to look.
They saw a giant tiger leaping over, with two boys-faced, elderly-bodied strange people riding on its back.
When the people of Celestial Secret City saw these two, they exclaimed again: "It’s the Two Elders of Tiger Grave! My God, they were famous evildoers back in the day. Who would have thought they’d become Grandmasters?"
Soon, both well-known and obscure Grandmasters arrived, all entering Celestial Secret City in a manner akin to stars surrounding the moon.
Half an hour later, a ship approached the shore amid a burst of horn sounds from the sea, shrouded in colorful smoke. Many drifters from Dong Sang stood on the ship, surprisingly not people from the Central Plains.
"Why are people from Dong Sang here? Could it be that the City Lord invited them too? No way, unless they are Grandmaster powerhouses, they wouldn’t have reason to receive this invitation. Could it be..."
On the top of the ship, a man with stubble and hair drifting in the wind looked at Celestial Secret City with a world-weary gaze and said in very awkward speech: "I can sense a very powerful aura emanating from this place; too many powerhouses have gathered here."
"Master Tian Nong, with your strength, even with more powerhouses, they couldn’t match up to your level."
"Never underestimate the experts of the Central Plains, Lord Shan Zhong."
The ship docked, and Tian Nong jumped directly off and headed towards Celestial Secret City.
...
Qin Yuesheng was still racing across the sea, and from afar he saw the horizon enveloped in a dense floating cloud, which didn’t seem naturally formed and appeared highly ephemeral.
Qin Yuesheng’s eyes instantly became serious; he could feel that the floating cloud was the result of the aura unconsciously emitted by a large number of powerhouses, forming a natural phenomenon.
"Celestial Secret City..." Qin Yuesheng immediately accelerated, and with the speed as fast as touching the sky, Celestial Secret City’s outline appeared in his vision in less than half an incense stick’s time.
The arrival of Qin Yuesheng naturally drew the attention of those inside Celestial Secret City.
However, his appearance was unfamiliar and extremely strange to them.
"Walking on air, this is another Grandmaster powerhouse, but he’s so unfamiliar and so young."
"Yes, I’ve never seen him before."
Qin Yuesheng landed directly in the city, and immediately he felt countless gazes fall on him. These gazes were very obvious, completely unapologetic.
"Young Master Qin, please this way." Soon, a little attendant came over, smiling as he said.
Qin Yuesheng was not at all surprised that the other party knew his name, being able to send someone to find him while he was on his way to Cyan Yang City with precise communication.
Qin Yuesheng had long since regarded the foundation of Celestial Secret City as very deep; for this power, Qin Yuesheng could only describe it as unfathomable.
Under the guidance of the little attendant, Qin Yuesheng arrived at an elegant private room with a table, a chair, a teacup, and a teapot.
"Young Master Qin, please wait here for a while. If you can’t sit still, you can have someone take you to tour Celestial Secret City, but do not act alone. Many Grandmasters have come to the city this time, each with their unusual tempers, and it would be bad if you accidentally caused unnecessary trouble."
"I understand." Qin Yuesheng nodded, and the little attendant bowed and left the room.
"What exactly is Celestial Secret City trying to do by assembling so many Grandmasters?" Qin Yuesheng didn’t touch the teapot or teacup on the table but pondered silently.
To people under heaven, Grandmasters are rare beings as in legends, yet at this moment in Celestial Secret City, it could almost be described as a grandmaster at every ten steps. Such a lineup proves the terrifying allure of Celestial Secret City and indicates that what they plan to do this time is utterly earth-shattering.
Just as Qin Yuesheng was wondering whether to practice right here, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Big brother inside, can I come in and have a seat?"
This voice Qin Yuesheng had never heard; it was indeed strange for someone to visit as soon as he arrived alone in Celestial Secret City, Qin Yuesheng said: "Please."
The curtain rustled, and a young girl with an enchanting figure slowly stepped in from outside.
She had a watery, doll-like face, her entire being brimming with the youthful vigor about to enter adulthood, giving off a sense of the girl-next-door, very friendly, almost unable to arouse hostility.
However, people like this were often the most dangerous.
Qin Yuesheng asked calmly: "Miss, what brings you here?"
"Tee-hee." The little girl smiled sweetly and sat down naturally across from Qin Yuesheng.
"The entire Celestial Secret City stinks, only your place smells nice. I can’t stand bad smells, so I thought I’d stay with you for a while."
Qin Yuesheng said, "Then I’ll give you this room, I just arrived."
"No, no, no. The nice smell emanates from you, big brother. If you leave, this room will become stinky again; please don’t go."
Qin Yuesheng frowned.
This person is rather peculiar.
