I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Capture, cede land, Lu Qing’s conditions

Seeing the look on Yan Canghai’s face, the young man in fancy clothes was stunned at first.

However, before he had time to think, he heard Lu Qing say:

“Why, you don’t dare to take it? Please go in.”

Then he saw with horror that the small tripod in the young man’s hand suddenly swelled up, suddenly became larger, and rushed towards them.

Then his eyes went black and he knew nothing.

After putting the young man in fancy clothes and the guards away,

Lu Qing also put away the Lihuo Tripod and looked at Yan Canghai and Wei Dazongguan.

At this time, Yan Canghai and Wei Dazongguan were already stunned.

They had never seen such a fairy’s method.

The small tripod could actually become a behemoth in the blink of an eye and swallow a person.

Such a scene was really shocking and terrifying.

It was not until Lu Qing looked over that Yan Canghai shuddered and came back to his senses.

He quickly said, “Young Master Lu, that’s my seventh brother. I hope you’ll show mercy!”

Although Yan Canghai didn’t have much affection for this so-called seventh brother, if something really happened to him in his place,

he would be hard-pressed to explain himself if the clan held him accountable.

Furthermore, those Xiantian Realm guards had clearly been trained by the clan at great expense. If they simply disappeared for no apparent reason, it would be a tremendous loss to the clan.

“Why, your seventh brother set a trap to frame you, causing you to be banished to this remote county, and you’re still trying to plead for him?” Lu Qing asked calmly.

Yan Canghai knew Lu Qing must have overheard the entire conversation.

He gave a wry smile, “To be honest, young master, although I dislike this seventh brother, we’re blood relatives after all. I hope you’ll spare his life for my sake.”

“You don’t have much face with me.”

However, Lu Qing’s words made Yan Canghai pause.

“Li Weitian, the man you just mentioned, and I have a connection.

Your Excellency, if you want your seventh brother to live, it’s simple.

Whether you send a pigeon or gallop a horse,

I give your Yan family two weeks to deliver Li Weitian’s descendants here.

Also, the Shiwan Mountains will be my territory from now on, and will no longer be under the jurisdiction of your ‘Yan Kingdom.’

If you can do these two things to my satisfaction,

I may consider sparing your seventh brother’s life.” “

Connected with Li Weitian…”

Hearing this, Yan Canghai was startled.

He immediately understood that Lu Qing had actually shown mercy.

Otherwise, based on what Yan Cangshan had said earlier, another powerful person would probably have killed him on the spot.

However, when he heard Lu Qing’s second request, Yan Canghai’s face showed embarrassment.

“Young Master Lu, you want to relocate the descendants of Senior Li Weitian here—that’s easy.

But you also want the territory in the Shiwan Mountains. I’m afraid I’ll have trouble explaining this to my clan, and the royal family probably won’t agree.”

Despite the remoteness and treacherous terrain of the Shiwan

Mountains, the various herbs and animal furs they produce are still very useful to the “Yan Kingdom.”

Lu Qing’s current plan to carve it out, Yan Canghai knows without a doubt that the royal family will disapprove.

“Your Excellency, I think you’ve misunderstood something,” Lu Qing said calmly. “I’m not asking for your ‘Yan Kingdom’s’ consent.

I’m telling you that the Shiwan Mountains are mine.

If your royal family objects, I might as well visit the capital.

However, by then, it’s uncertain whether this ‘Yan Kingdom’ will still belong to your Yan family.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s calm expression, Yan Canghai’s heart skipped a beat.

He remembered Lin Zhirui’s assessment of Lu Qing’s character.

This seemingly peaceful young man was actually filled with murderous intent.

Thinking back to the monstrous, almost demonic, tactics Lu Qing had just displayed,

Yan Canghai felt a sudden chill in his heart.

He had a hunch that if Lu Qing were allowed to go to the capital, something extremely uncontrollable would happen.

He immediately declared, “Young Master Lu, don’t get excited. I’ll send a letter to the clan immediately, and have them bring Senior Li Weitian’s descendants to Cang County as quickly as possible.

If you want the Shiwan Mountains, that’s easy enough. After all, that place is dispensable to our ‘Yan Kingdom.'”

Yan Cangshan wasn’t sure how the clan would react, but he knew he had to calm Lu Qing down now.

Otherwise, if he were allowed to go to the capital, who knows what terrible things would happen.

“Okay, remember, I’ll only give you two weeks at most. Steward Wei, let’s go .”

Lu Qing nodded and turned to leave.

“Yes,”

Steward Wei replied respectfully, nodding to Yan Canghai and following Lu Qing.

Though his expression appeared calm, he felt incredibly relieved.

Just now, the Seventh Prince, relying on his status and background, and the several Xiantian Realm guards behind him, had used his power to bully and humiliate him.

It’s impossible to say that Chief Steward Wei didn’t feel humiliated.

However, the situation was overwhelming, forcing him to endure and compromise.

He had originally planned to go back and discuss countermeasures with the head of the family.

But he had never expected the reversal to happen so quickly. Lu Qing had appeared here.

And his actions were extremely domineering. He didn’t even give the Seventh Prince a word before capturing and imprisoning him.

Even those powerful Xiantian Realm masters were powerless to resist.

How could this not please Chief Steward Wei? He

was also amazed by Lu Qing’s magical powers, and even more in awe of them.

“Young Master Lu, would you like to rest at your residence?”

Chief Steward Wei asked respectfully after leaving the restaurant.

“No, I’m just heading back to the village,” Lu Qing declined.

Besides, there wasn’t much to do at the Wei Mansion.

Wei Shanhai and Wei Xinghe, and even Wei Zihao and his family, now lived in the villa in Jiuli Village.

Only Chief Steward Wei and a few stewards were in charge of the county town. “Steward Wei, I’ll tell Senior Wei and the others

about what happened today when I return to the village. Don’t worry.”

“Yes,” Chief Steward Wei said respectfully.

“And these two things, for you.”

Lu Qing produced a piece of jade and, with a flick of his finger, mysterious talismans materialized from thin air and fell into the jade talisman.

In a split second, a jade talisman was supported by him.

Lu Qing produced another jade bottle and handed it over, along with the jade talisman.

“I observe that you, Steward Wei, have now reached the realm of a post-natal martial arts master, where your internal organs are complete and your spiritual power is about to flourish.

This jade bottle contains several elixirs. When you return, take them. They should strengthen your foundation and

advance your entry into the innate realm.

Also, wear this jade talisman.

If you encounter something like this again, and someone tries to overpower you with their aura,

as long as their realm is not higher than mine, it should be useless to you.”

“Young Master, this…”

Steward Wei hesitated as he looked at the item in Lu Qing’s hand.

“Take it. These are just trifles. They are useless to me, so don’t worry about them.”

“Then I would be disrespectful to refuse them,”

Steward Wei said, accepting the item.

“Alright, I’m going back to the village. I hope that when we meet again, you, Chief Steward Wei, will have already reached the Xiantian Realm.”

With that, Lu Qing soared into the air, transforming into a stream of light, heading towards Jiuli Village.

Watching the stream of light Lu Qing transformed into vanish into the horizon, Chief Steward Wei, stunned, tightly gripped the jade bottle and jade talisman in his hands.

He knew that his own hope of reaching the Xiantian Realm lay within it.

Atop the restaurant, Yan Canghai watched as Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light and flew away.

He was equally shocked.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

A resolute look crossed his face.

He knew he had to convince the clan to agree to Lu Qing’s terms.

Otherwise, Yan Cangshan’s death would be a small matter.

Enraging Lu Qing would likely bring disaster upon the entire Yan family!

…

The county seat wasn’t too far from Jiuli Village.

Even at a gallop, it would take no more than half a day.

With Lu Qing’s speed, it was naturally even faster. In just a few dozen breaths, he had returned to Jiuli Village, landed, and returned to his home.

In a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, an old doctor, cultivating, opened his eyes.

“Where have you been again, Ah Qing?”

He only woke up briefly, then stopped wondering, continuing his cultivation with his eyes closed.

With Lu Qing’s current level of cultivation, it was practically impossible for anyone in the world to threaten him.

Therefore, the old doctor decided not to inquire.

Lately, he had received some resources from Lu Qing, and his cultivation was progressing rapidly.

He estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he would reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

With further practice, once the foundation is established, the Golden Core Realm will be within reach.

The old doctor was quite moved by the previous attack by the two Golden Core Realm aliens, as he was powerless to stop them and could only watch his disciples fight helplessly.

Therefore, he has been diligently cultivating recently, striving to become even stronger.

After all, while the two aliens have been defeated,

they still have the formidable enemy of Xuankong Mountain, which is equally formidable.

The old doctor never imagined that Lu Qing would be able to destroy Xuankong Mountain in just a short absence.

Their greatest enemy had been completely vanished.

Returning home, Lu Qing sat in his quiet room, his mind entering the Lihuo Cauldron.

“Young Master,”

Yan immediately greeted him.

“How are those people?” Lu Qing asked.

“They’re terribly frightened.”

Yan smiled, “Especially the so-called Seventh Prince. He’s practically wet his pants.”

Lu Qing waved his hand, revealing the situation of the young men in the ornate attire.

Inside a space cage, the Seventh Prince of the “Yan Kingdom” and several of his guards were looking around in horror.

Unfortunately, no matter how they explored, they were destined to find nothing.

The space cage, a means of confinement, was completely beyond their comprehension.

With their strength, how could they possibly explore the mystery?

“What the hell is this place!”

After another fruitless exploration, the young man in gorgeous clothes could no longer bear the panic in his heart and began to roar.

“Seventh Prince, if I’m not mistaken, we should have been locked up in that ancient tripod magic weapon by that young man.” At this time, a guard said.

“Of course I know this, but what I want to know now is how on earth can we get out of this damn place!”

The young man in gorgeous clothes continued to roar.

“That’s probably difficult. We only heard our Grandmaster mention the magical weapon a few times, and beyond that, we don’t know much.

But since that young man can activate it, his cultivation must be beyond our comprehension. He

‘s probably one of those legendary immortal cultivators.

Seventh Prince, we’ve probably provoked someone we shouldn’t have,”

the guard explained.

“But I’ve never even seen that person before, so how could we have provoked him?”

The Seventh Prince said, feeling aggrieved.

He was certain he’d never even met Lu Qing.

And yet, he’d been taken to this hellish place without explanation.

Having lived a life of luxury since childhood, he’d never experienced such humiliation before.

For a moment, he was filled with panic and resentment.

Isn’t this obvious?

You were planning to steal the Wei family’s treasure, and then someone came out and claimed it was in his possession.

Doesn’t that prove something’s wrong?

Seeing that the Seventh Prince was either too flustered or seemed to have barely reacted, the guards exchanged glances.

They had been following Grandmaster’s orders, closely protecting the Seventh Prince for quite some time.

They were quite familiar with his behavior and personality.

To be honest, they actually didn’t quite understand why the master would choose to support the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne.

In their opinion, the Seventh Prince was not a very good candidate for the king.

Although he was smart, he was actually just clever.

Moreover, his personality was not very good. He was selfish and lustful, and had a small heart. He really did not have the qualities that a king should have.

However, no matter how much they complained in their hearts, the master’s order was absolute.

They must always protect the safety of the Seventh Prince.

Therefore, several guards still spoke to comfort him.

“Seventh Prince, don’t panic. Since that young man has captured us, I think he will not do anything to us for the time being.

Otherwise, with his means, it would be easy for him to kill us.”

The Seventh Prince fell silent.

It was here that he felt uneasy.

He deeply disliked the feeling of having his life and death controlled by others.

Born into a royal family, he had always had his way.

He had always been the one to control the lives of others, so when had he ever been humiliated like this?

So even though he knew the young man was probably someone he couldn’t afford to offend, a venomous fire still burned within him, simmering with hatred.

“Have you tried to contact ‘Tian Lao’? If ‘Tian Lao’ knew of our plight, with his magical powers, he would surely be able to rescue us,”

the young man in ornate clothing asked.

He knew that these Xiantian Realm guards possessed incredibly powerful artifacts that would allow them to contact Tian Lao even across vast distances.

“We’ve already tried. We tried to contact our master as soon as we were captured.

Unfortunately, this place is so strange, it seems to isolate everything.

The jade talismans we have are no match for our master,”

one of the guards explained.

“Damn it!”

The young man in ornate clothing felt even more annoyed upon hearing this.

He looked at the emptiness and darkness around him, and a feeling of panic grew uncontrollably from the depths of his heart.

If this continued, he wondered if he would go crazy.

Outside, Lu Qing looked at the young man in gorgeous clothes in the space cage, whose face was gradually showing more and more panic, and shook his head.

He thought this guy was a hero with a strong mind and deep thoughts, but he didn’t expect him to be just a paper tiger. He

couldn’t even withstand such a small pressure.

It seems that his inner viscera cultivation was only fed by resources, and his mind was not up to the level that the inner viscera should be.

Seeing that the expression of the young man in gorgeous clothes was a little bit wrong, Lu Qing waved his hand and untied the space cage.

Inside, just when the young man in gorgeous clothes felt that he was about to give up and his mind collapsed.

Suddenly, he saw a bright light in front of him, and the endless emptiness and darkness around him retreated.

Two figures appeared in front of him.
