I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 490

Chapter 490 Qiujia Village, Horrible Mummy

“Are you saying that in recent months, people have been mysteriously disappearing in some rural areas of Linzhou?”

In the courtyard of the inn, Lu Qing was somewhat surprised after listening to Mu Tian and the others’ story.

“Yes, brother, this matter was not noticed at first.

However, a few days ago, when we first entered Linzhou, we accidentally rescued a farmer who had fallen off a cliff and fainted.

He said that people in his village had been disappearing frequently recently, and the people were in a state of panic.

His wife and children had disappeared, and he had been running around looking for them, and he accidentally fell off a cliff.

Fortunately, an old tree stopped him from falling to his death.

After we sent the farmer to the clinic, we went to his village to investigate.

We found that in the countryside of Linzhou, people have disappeared in many villages in the past six months. That’s why we’re here

, trying to find out what happened.

Today, we plan to go to a place called Qiujia Village near the city.”

“Sure enough, have you found anything?” Lu Qing asked.

“We don’t have many clues yet.” Mu Tian shook his head. “We can only tentatively confirm that this was man-made, not a natural disaster.

Furthermore, the perpetrators used strange and covert methods, not those of the righteous path.

The most likely scenario is that they are some evil cultivator practicing some diabolical technique.”

“Evil cultivator?”

Lu Qing nodded, agreeing with Mu Tian’s theory.

With the resurgence of spiritual energy, relics from the previous era of immortal cultivation have gradually emerged.

Many of these relics belong to ancient cultivators who practiced demonic ways.

Consequently, in recent years, some demonic cultivators have appeared throughout the world.

These cultivators, pursuing their wicked ways, have committed many heinous acts.

However, since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist. After a period of stirring up trouble, these cultivators were met with a combined force of all the major sects to suppress them.

After two years of prosperity, they have almost vanished again.

Unexpectedly, traces of demonic cultivators have appeared again in this remote Linzhou.

“So, is there anything special about Qiujia Village you’re going to?” Lu Qing continued.

“We heard that two villagers from Qiujia Village went missing the day before yesterday. This is probably the village where the evil cultivator appeared the latest, so we plan to go and take a look.” Mu Tian answered.

“Brother, do you want to go with us?” Xiaoyan asked.

Hearing this, Mu Tian and the others immediately looked at Lu Qing.

They were all very curious about Xiaoyan, their brother who suddenly appeared and seemed particularly mysterious.

If he went with them, perhaps they could find out something that was hard to explain.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment.

Originally, he came here this time to take Xiaoyan and the others away.

He had just traded three portions of true blood with the old dragon turtle. Those three portions of true blood contained the bloodline of the ancient beast Suanni, which should be of great benefit to Xiaoli and Wuxing.

Now that he suddenly heard such a thing, he felt it was not a good idea to just leave.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing said, “Okay, I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Xiaoyan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

But Lu Qing continued, “But Xiaoyan, this is your training. I won’t intervene unless absolutely necessary. If anything arises, you must resolve it on your own. This will also allow Brother to see if you’ve been slacking off on your cultivation these days.”

“Okay!”

Xiaoyan agreed immediately.

Her heart was filled with motivation.

She wanted to let Brother know that during his retreat in the Holy Mountain, she had also been diligently cultivating!

Mu Tian and the others smiled upon hearing this.

According to what they had learned from the sect’s texts, the methods of evil cultivators were always treacherous. With a mysterious and powerful figure like Brother Xiaoyan accompanying them, they felt even more confident.

So, they checked out of the inn and headed for Qiujia Village.

Qiujia Village wasn’t close to the city, but even the weakest cultivator among them was a cultivator at the Minor Success Stage of the Innate Realm.

Before the spiritual energy revival, they were comparable in strength to a top sect.

Even after so long, the Innate Realm was still considered a formidable force in the cultivation world.

Their pace was naturally not slow.

After using their body skills, their speed increased even further, and half an hour later, they arrived in front of a village.

“Brother Chen, Qiujia Village is just ahead,”

Mu Tian said confidently after pulling out a map and examining it for a moment.

“Then let’s go in.”

Lu Qing looked ahead, a subtle glint of unease in his eyes.

Could it be that they had actually run into someone?

They headed towards the village, but upon entering, they were stunned by the sight before them.

Previously, the village had been utterly silent, with wisps of black air hovering.

Most importantly, numerous corpses lay scattered across the village road.

All of them were mummified, their faces twisted and hideous, evidently having endured immense pain and torture.

“This, this…”

Mu Tian and the others recoiled in fear at the sight of such a horrifying scene,

their words barely comprehensible.

Seeing this, Lu Qing shook his head slightly.

The revival of spiritual energy had made cultivation much easier.

Even the Xiantian realm wasn’t as difficult to break through as it once was.

However, the ease of cultivation also meant that many cultivators lacked sufficient training.

Take Mu Tian and his companions, for example. While their strength was considerable, rivaling the most elite warriors of major sects before the spiritual energy revival,

their character was vastly inferior.

Just a few mummies with unsightly deaths frightened them to such an extent.

Their mental fortitude was far inferior to that of the post-natal martial arts masters he had encountered.

After a brief sigh, Lu Qing returned his gaze to the mummies before him.

Just outside the village, he had sensed a deathly silence, seemingly deserted.

He hadn’t imagined that the people of Qiujia Village had been murdered. Their

essence, energy, and spirit had been drained, leading to a painful death.

Looking at one of the mummies, dressed in women’s clothing and cradling a small corpse,

Lu Qing’s gaze grew colder.

“Brother, this is…”

Among the few people, Xiaoyan was the one who remained calm.

After all, when she was very young, she went to Zhongzhou with Lu Qing and the others.

During the battles and fights along the way, she had seen countless corpses.

Moreover, in Jiuli Village over the years, she often helped the old doctor to treat the wounds of some patients.

Although the scene in front of her was horrifying, it did not scare her.

“I said, I won’t take action. You have to learn to deal with these things on your own.” Lu Qing said lightly.

Xiaoyan stopped asking questions when she heard it.

She began to observe the corpses on the ground carefully.

She had already felt that these mummies seemed to be a little abnormal.

Seeing the brother and sister so calm, Mu Tian and the others gradually calmed down.

They felt blushing.

They were just some mummies, but they lost their composure like this, even worse than the youngest Xiaoyan. It was really wrong.

Just when they wanted to ask Xiaoyan what she had found.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
