I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Fear, Lin Zhirui’s Truth

. Seeing Lu Qing and a strange-looking man with twin horns appear,

the young man in ornate attire, his eyes, already mired in despair, shone brightly.

He had been slumped on the ground, but suddenly stood up and attempted to break free.

But the next moment, he slammed into an invisible barrier, causing him to see stars, feel dizzy, and fall backward.

“Seventh Prince!”

Several guards quickly escorted him, watching Lu Qing and the others with vigilance.

Lu Qing observed the scene without reacting, paying no attention to the guards’ actions.

He simply looked at the ornate young man and asked, “Where’s the map you mentioned?”

The young man was startled, but he quickly realized what Lu Qing was talking about.

His thoughts raced, and with a quick glance, he said, “So, Your Excellency wants the map. It’s not impossible.

If you release us, I’ll immediately offer it to you…”

Before the young man could finish, he felt a sudden lightness on his right side.

He first glanced to his right in surprise, then a look of horror crossed his face.

At the same moment, an unbearable pain surged, forcing him to scream.

“Ah! My right arm!”

It was his right arm; it had vanished without a trace.

Several guards were similarly stunned, bewildered.

They hadn’t noticed how the Seventh Prince’s arm had been severed and vanished.

“You have no right to negotiate with me. If you don’t hand over the map now, I won’t mind tearing your head off right now,”

Lu Qing’s words echoed softly . Yet,

even this calm voice sent a chill through everyone.

They realized that the young man before them truly walked the talk! The

young man in elegant attire shuddered even more. He dared no longer hesitate. Fighting back the excruciating pain in his severed arm, he frantically pulled out a pristine leather scroll from his bosom.

“Here’s the map…”

Before he could finish his words, the map vanished from his hand, reappearing in Lu Qing’s.

Seeing this, the young man in elegant attire felt a chill run deep within him.

Lu Qing’s methods were too bizarre and terrifying. Using such methods to remove his head would be a piece of cake.

Lu Qing stroked the scroll in his hand, discovering it was likely made from the hide of a strange creature, quite resilient.

No wonder it had been preserved for centuries.

He unfolded it, discovering a myriad of patterns and strange symbols, completely unintelligible.

There was also a simple map, depicting a terrain that looked familiar to Lu Qing.

A suspicion welled up in his mind, and he immediately activated his supernatural powers to peer over it.

Soon, a faint red light emerged from the scroll, and several messages floated out.

[Mysterious Map: A map made from the hide of the exotic beast, the Iron Ox.]

[This map contains special characters, requiring a unique method of deciphering to unlock its secrets.]

[This map is a relic left behind by the innate realm master Li Weitian.]

[Discovered inheritance, do you want to download it?]

Lu Qing read the notes and understood.

This was indeed the map left by Li Weitian.

He had no way to decipher the map, but his supernatural powers could reveal its secrets.

He chose to download the inheritance.

Surprisingly, the map contained only a limited amount of information, and the download was completed quickly.

After Lu Qing read the information, a flash of enlightenment crossed his eyes.

Sure enough, he had guessed correctly.

The map contained a Xiantian Realm technique left by Li Weitian, as well as the location of a treasured land.

Needless to say, the Xiantian technique was useless to Lu Qing now.

As for the treasured land, it was the Jade Transformation Cavern.

Li Weitian had probably considered that if he ultimately failed to achieve a breakthrough and passed away in the Jade Transformation Cavern, his

descendants would be able to collect his remains and bury him in peace.

However, Li Weitian had not anticipated that his disappearance would lead to his family being oppressed by the very Xiantian Realm masters he had offended.

Ultimately, they were forced to disperse and retreat into the mountains and countryside.

Over centuries of change, not only had the family’s wealth been lost, but even the method for deciphering the map had been lost.

After reading the information in the leather scroll, a flame rose in Lu Qing’s hand and burned it into nothingness.

The young man in gorgeous clothes and others were all stunned when they saw this scene.

Especially the young man in gorgeous clothes, he was surprised to see that even Lu Qing cared so much about this map.

He was still wondering what kind of treasure map he had accidentally obtained.

He never thought that Lu Qing just took a few glances and burned the map directly.

Could it be that the map he got was fake?

For a moment, the young man in gorgeous clothes was extremely uneasy.

If the map is really fake, will this cold and cruel young man in front of him vent his anger on him?

“Sir, I got this map from a humble family, and I don’t know whether it is true or fake.

If there is a problem with this map, as long as you let me go, I will definitely punish that humble family on your behalf!”

The young man in gorgeous clothes said cautiously.

Lu Qing turned to look at him, and the next moment, the young man in the ornate attire felt another pain on his left side.

He looked over in disbelief, only to see that his left arm had also vanished.

“Don’t worry, the map is real,”

Lu Qing said calmly amid the young man’s screams. “But the ancestor of that lowly family you’re talking about, Senior Li Weitian, did me a favor. So do you think your arms deserve to be severed?”

The young man’s eyes suddenly widened.

Li Weitian had done this man a favor, yet he had arrested all of Li Weitian’s descendants.

A chill surged through the young man’s heart, his body turning icy cold.

He no longer cared about the pain in his arms, and cried out in terror,

“Sir, I was unaware of your connection to Senior Li Weitian. Please spare my life!”

With that, the young man, no longer concerned with anything else, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Qing.

At this moment, all his so-called royal pride had vanished.

After his arms were severed, the young man in the ornate attire was utterly devastated.

His only concern now was survival, and nothing else mattered.

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of taking your life yet.

However, your ultimate survival depends on whether your fourth brother can convey my conditions to your Yan family,

and whether your Yan family will agree to them.

If you can’t satisfy me, not only you, but your Yan family as well, will cease to exist.”

As Lu Qing finished his words, his figure gradually faded.

Seeing this, the young man in the ornate attire hurriedly called out, “Senior…”

But before he could finish his words, he was enveloped by endless nothingness and darkness.

He had been trapped in the spatial cage once again.

“No…”

The young man’s eyes shone with utter despair, but no matter how he shouted, no one responded.

Not even his voice could be heard outside the spatial cage.

Several guards, watching the desperate young man in fine clothes, felt a similar sense of grief.

Although they disliked the Seventh Prince, if he died, they, as guards, would surely be punished.

Furthermore, even their ability to escape alive was questionable.

After all, the man who had just spoken had said that if the royal family didn’t satisfy him, he would wipe out the entire clan.

Regardless of whether he could do it, at least wiping them out would be easy.

With a sigh, a guard pulled a medicine bottle from his bosom. He

stepped forward and said, “Seventh Prince, you’re seriously injured. You should heal first.”

…

“Young Master, do you really want that ‘Yan Kingdom’ to cede the Hundred Thousand Mountains to you?”

“Yan” asked Lu Qing in the spiritual artifact space.

“Yes, the Hundred Thousand Mountains are filled with spiritual energy and rich in spiritual herbs. It’s a great place,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“If you ask me, why bother with all this trouble? With your current level of cultivation, if you want a small Hundred Thousand Mountains, just claim it directly. Why would you need anyone’s approval?”

“Yan” was puzzled.

It saw Lu Qing’s current level of cultivation and realm, even if he wanted to dominate the world and become its common ruler, it would be a piece of cake.

Why would he need the consent of that “Yan Kingdom” just to seize the tiny Hundred Thousand Mountains?

“Just an excuse,” Lu Qing smiled.

It was actually a sudden thought that had just occurred to him, so he mentioned it casually.

His main reason for wanting to seize the Hundred Thousand Mountains was the existence of the Jade Transformation Cavern.

He also wanted to see how the “Yan Kingdom” would react.

Of course, if the Yan family was truly so tactless, he wouldn’t mind erasing it.

Now, it all depended on whether the Yan family could recognize the situation.

“Come on, prepare some pen and ink!”

Elsewhere in the county town, Yan Canghai shouted as soon as he returned to the County Magistrate’s residence.

However, even after the servants prepared the pen and ink and he sat at his desk, he hesitated to pick up the pen.

“How can I make the clan realize the seriousness of this matter?”

Yan Canghai wondered with immense difficulty.

After witnessing Lu Qing’s mystical and unpredictable abilities, he immediately understood his terrifying nature.

It had reached a level he could barely comprehend, a level beyond the reach of even the most celestial beings.

If they were to become enemies with such a being, even if the Yan family survived, they would undoubtedly suffer a severe blow.

Therefore, he had to persuade the clan to agree to Lu Qing’s terms.

But he also knew that getting them to back down would be difficult.

After all, as the royal family that had ruled the “Yan Kingdom” for centuries, he was well aware of the pride of the Yan family.

No one in the clan would agree to hand over the vast territory of the Shiwan Mountains so easily.

It might even provoke a violent reaction.

After a long moment of brooding, Yan Canghai couldn’t quite place his words .

“Sir, Lord Zhirui requests an audience.”

Just as Yan Canghai was scowling, a servant entered with an announcement.

“What, Zhirui is here? Please invite him in!”

Yan Canghai was immediately overjoyed, stood up and went to the door to greet him.

When Lin Zhirui came in and saw him, he was stunned.

“Your brows are filled with sorrow, and the expression is still there. What happened?”

“As expected, you can’t hide anything from you, Zhirui. This time you must save me, save our ‘Yan Kingdom’!”

Yan Canghai begged repeatedly.

“What’s so important?”

Lin Zhirui’s face changed slightly. Could it be that the neighboring county is going to attack?

But he hadn’t received any news in this regard.

“This time it has something to do with that young master Lu…”

Yan Canghai just started to speak, but Lin Zhirui became extremely serious.

He interrupted him directly: “You said it has something to do with young master Lu?”

“…Yes.” Yan Canghai paused.

“Go on.”

“…Yesterday, Yan Cangshan came to me with several guards, asking for my help…

Young Master Lu asked our Yan family to escort the descendants of Senior Li Weitian here. He

also said he wanted to carve off the Shiwan Mountains. But as you know, Zhirui, many of our elders are very stubborn.

I’m afraid they won’t easily agree to Young Master Lu’s demands.

I’m worried about how to submit a petition to the capital.

So, Zhirui, what do you think I should do now?”

Yan Canghai recounted the entire incident to Lin Zhirui.

Lin Zhirui’s expression grew increasingly serious as he listened.

Finally, he looked at Yan Canghai in silence.

“What else can we do? You only have one choice now: do everything in your power to convince your Yan family to agree to Young Master Lu’s conditions.

Otherwise, your Yan family will face great disaster.”

Upon hearing Yan Canghai’s question, Lin Zhirui answered without hesitation.

Seeing his resolute tone, even though Yan Canghai had always intended to do so, he was still worried.

But he couldn’t help but ask, “Zhirui, is that young Master Lu really so terrifying? Could it be that he has also broken through to a realm above the Xiantian realm?”

In Yan Canghai’s opinion, only those who had reached a realm above the Xiantian realm could possess such magical powers.

They could instantly eliminate several living people.

“Don’t ask me about that. I know that one of your Yan family’s ancestors recently achieved a breakthrough, entering the realm above the Xiantian realm.

But don’t get your hopes up. Young Master Lu’s strength is beyond your imagination.

Let me tell you this: even your ancestor who has achieved a breakthrough is nothing more than a breath away from Young Master Lu,”

Lin Zhirui said seriously.

“Break it away with a breath! Zhirui, are you sure you’re not talking nonsense?”

Yan Canghai stared blankly at his friend.

“Do you think I’m joking? I mean it literally. With Young Master Lu’s current strength, he could literally blow away your ancestor with a breath.”

Seeing Yan Canghai’s incredulous expression, Lin Zhirui said helplessly.

He knew that this statement was incredibly unbelievable,

but he wasn’t exaggerating at all.

Beyond the Xiantian realm was only the Foundation Establishment realm.

Although he was considered a top-tier expert in the world today, few could rival him.

However, Lu Qing’s realm was the Golden Core Realm!

Furthermore, he was incredibly powerful, a terrifying existence that could easily slay even a Golden Core Realm alien.

A mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could be easily annihilated by Lu Qing with a single breath.

If the Yan family truly angered Lu Qing, the only outcome would be genocide.
