I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 152 - 131: They Have Arrived

"Awoo!"

A piece of meat was hooked on a fishing rod, and Qin Yuesheng was swinging the rod, causing the meat to sway back and forth in the air.

Ah Hu stared at the meat, jumping and darting repeatedly. Whenever it was about to bite the meat, Qin Yuesheng cunningly raised the rod, watching Ah Hu fail to get the meat, he couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile.

The joy of the young master was often so simple and boring.

"Awoo!"

After failing to get the meat for a long time, Ah Hu was extremely frustrated, laying flat on the ground like a withered eggplant, pondering as it looked at the meat bound to the fishing rod, while its tail unconsciously wagged, as if waiting for the next opportunity to strike.

"Young master, there are a few Daoists here to visit; they say they are specifically here for you." Cao Zhengchun came running and said.

"Daoists?" Qin Yuesheng immediately thought of Daoist Qingfeng and his group.

At that moment of inattention, Ah Hu suddenly leaped up and bit the edge of the meat vigorously, hanging in the air without letting go.

"Here, you train it." Qin Yuesheng handed the fishing rod to Cao Zhengchun and then walked towards the Guest Hall.

...

Daoist Qingfeng sat in the Guest Hall, appearing somewhat urgent, while Qin Feng sat in the main seat and asked in puzzlement, "Daoist, is there something urgent that you need to see my son?"

Daoist Qingfeng chuckled, "I have some matters to inquire about."

Soon, Qin Yuesheng walked in from outside the hall.

When he saw Daoist Qingfeng and his companions, his face immediately showed a look of realization.

"Gentlemen Daoists, what brings you to me?" Qin Yuesheng asked directly.

"Young Master Qin, I have a favor to ask." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Qin Yuesheng glanced at Qin Feng, "If it’s related to the government, we should discuss it while walking."

"Very well, very well," Daoist Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

"Father, I will go out with the Daoists first."

"Will you be back for lunch?" Qin Feng asked.

"We’ll see."

Upon leaving the Qin Mansion, Daoist Qingfeng hurriedly said, "Young Master Qin, could you take us to the Cheng Mansion to look at the seal there?"

Hearing this request, Qin Yuesheng felt a dilemma.

Currently, the Cheng Mansion is heavily controlled by the government, with only high-level officials allowed inside, and at the moment, everything in Cyan Yang City is managed by Zuo Zonghao.

To bring Daoist Qingfeng and his group into the Cheng Mansion is something Qin Yuesheng cannot decide on his own.

"Daoist, Lord Zuo currently does not permit anyone to enter that place, you come to me, yet I am powerless," Qin Yuesheng said, "Since Seven-Star Observatory has completely taken over the matter, your West Qi Mountain Temple need not worry any longer."

Daoist Qingfeng shook his head, "Young Master Qin, you have no idea how dangerous those Great Ghost Venerables are. I am sure that facing the Ghost Race lurking in Cyan Yang City, your government will surely need the assistance of our West Qi Mountain Temple."

Qin Yuesheng asked, "Daoist, could you elaborate, what exactly is the situation with the Great Ghost Venerables?"

"According to the ancient texts in our West Qi Mountain Temple, the Great Ghost Venerable is a powerful entity within the Ghost Race. Even if only the head remains, if all thirteen were to reappear in the world, it could lead to widespread disaster. They are impervious to water and fire, comparable to meteoric iron, and spew poisonous fire, making them difficult to deal with."

"How do Inner Power realm experts compare with them?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

Daoist Qingfeng said, "In the past, to eradicate the Ghost Race causing chaos here, the Yellow Dragon Dao Sect lost no less than a hundred Inner Power realm martial artists, including the Vice Sect Leader of the Ninth Layer of the Internal Power Realm and several Elders of the seventh and eighth layers. This barely managed to destroy the Great Ghost Venerables, leaving only the heads, finally choosing to seal them due to lack of options."

"So powerful," Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but be astonished, "Daoist, did you bring any powerful magical artifacts on this descent?"

"This matter is being handled by our Sect Leader; I’m not entirely privy to the details."

"Alright, Daoist, I’ll try to bring you there, if Lord Zuo still refuses to let you enter the Cheng Mansion, then there’s nothing I can do."

Daoist Qingfeng gratefully bowed, "Thank you, Young Master Qin, please give it a try."

Approaching the vicinity of the Cheng Mansion, it was immediately noticeable that the flow of people here was significantly reduced, and every street and alley had different men standing around, appearing to engage in idle chatter.

Some were pushing carts selling pancakes, some carried sticks full of candied fruit skewers.

Some carried poles for selling vegetables, others led pigs, cows, horses, and sheep, chewing on white radishes.

It seemed to be a portrayal of the diversity of life, a street scene.

But Qin Yuesheng knew very well that all these people were soldiers, just disguised as civilians under Zuo Zonghao’s orders, deliberately pretending to be common folk to monitor any pedestrians appearing near the Cheng Mansion, for surveillance and screening purposes.

As Qin Yuesheng approached, many eyes immediately turned towards him, all closely watching him and his group.

At the entrance of the Cheng Mansion, several soldiers had one hand resting on their swords, upon seeing Qin Yuesheng and his company, they shouted directly, "This area is off-limits to idle people, please leave immediately."

Qin Yuesheng took out his token and waved it before the other party, who immediately stepped aside respectfully and said, "Please, sir."

"Gentlemen Daoists, please wait here for a moment, I’ll go inside to discuss the request with Lord Zuo." Qin Yuesheng instructed, then walked through the gates of the Cheng Mansion.
