I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 496

Chapter 496 Causal Deduction

. A chill flashed in Lu Qing’s eyes as he gazed at the Xuanming Jade Pendant in his hand.

The image of the mummified mother and child he had seen earlier reappeared before him.

It was only because that was Xiaoyan’s training that he had refrained from action.

Now, knowing that there were powerful beings behind this evil cultivator, he naturally would not let them go easily.

Lu Qing withdrew a Bagua-shaped magical weapon from his Qiankun Yiqi bag.

This weapon was found in his storage of magical instruments after he had slain the two gray-robed men among the aliens.

Later, Lu Qing discovered that this magical weapon was a rather mysterious calculative tool, known as the [Xuanji Bagua Disk].

Its primary ability was to trace the origins of things and deduce cause and effect.

Placing the Xuanming Jade Pendant into the Xuanji Bagua Disk, Lu Qing’s mind activated it, and the disk instantly spun, calculating the cause and effect.

Lu Qing waited patiently.

The Xuanji Bagua Disk’s ability to deduce cause and effect was extremely powerful.

As long as the Jindan realm cultivator behind this evil cultivator lacked magical weapons and secret techniques that could shield them from causal forces, it would be nearly impossible for them to evade its calculations.

Sure enough, after the Xuanji Bagua Plate spun and calculated for a while,

it slowly came to a stop, and a thin line of red smoke emerged from it, pointing straight into the distance.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Xiaoyan asked curiously.

As for Mu Tian and the others, they naturally didn’t dare to interrupt Lu Qing.

From the conversation between the siblings, they could all see Xiaoyan’s reliance on Lu Qing.

If Xiaoyan was so powerful, how much more powerful must Lu Qing, the person she relied on, be?

Unconsciously, they all grew in awe of Lu Qing.

“Nothing, it seems there’s someone powerful behind this evil cultivator. I’m just using my magical weapon to deduce him,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“So, did you figure it out, brother?”

Xiaoyan asked, unsurprised by the possibility of someone else behind the evil cultivator.

Lu Qing nodded, “Yes, I’m going to go find him. Do you want to come with me?”

“Sure!” Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up.

She hadn’t played with her brother in ages.

“Then let’s clean up this place and go.”

At that moment, Lu Qing felt several intense gazes.

Turning back, she saw Mu Tian and the others, staring at her eagerly.

Lu Qing paused. “You guys want to come too?”

Mu Tian and the others nodded.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright, we’ll go together later. For now, let’s deal with the evil corpses in this village.”

Lu Qing had a good impression of Xiaoyan and her friends.

Even in that near-desperate situation, they hadn’t chosen to beg for mercy or surrender to the evil cultivators.

At least in terms of their character, they were decent.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to let them go along and gain some experience.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Chen!”

Mu Tian and the others were overjoyed.

Then, under Lu Qing’s command, they moved all the evil corpses together.

“Senior Brother Chen, we’ve checked. All the evil corpses in the vicinity have been moved here,”

Mu Tian said shortly after.

“Well done.”

Lu Qing sighed as he looked at the pile of mummified corpses in the center of the village, forming a small mountain.

These mummies included the elderly, children, women, and nearly a hundred in total.

It looked as if the entire Qiujia Village had been slaughtered by that evil cultivator.

The chill in his heart intensified even more. Lu Qing flicked his finger, and a wisp of transparent flame flew from his fingertips, landing on the pile of corpses.

The next moment, a towering flame rose, instantly enveloping the entire pile.

These corpses, transformed by the evil cultivator’s corpse-refining formation, have all become evil corpses.

Even in death, the dead energy within them remains thick, making it impossible to rest in peace.

Left unattended, other living beings exposed to it could easily be infected by the dead energy, causing unnecessary trouble.

The only solution is to incinerate them, completely eliminating the dead energy.

Lu Qing’s Nanming Lihuo is so formidable that even the remains of the three iron corpses are no match for it.

In a remarkably short time, the mountain of corpses was completely incinerated, leaving only a trace of white ash.

Next, Lu Qing cleared away all the remaining artifacts from the evil cultivator’s corpse-refining formation in Qiujia Village.

Once he was done, ensuring that no further trouble remained, Lu Qing said,

“Alright, let’s get going.”

“Senior Brother Chen, which way are we going?” Mu Tian asked.

“No need to bother, just follow me.”

Lu Qing said, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a small boat suddenly flew out of thin air, rapidly expanding into a boat large enough to accommodate several people standing.

It was the golden boat, the flying magical instrument Lu Qing often used.

However, to conceal his identity, he hadn’t revealed the boat’s true form.

Instead, it had been slightly altered, emitting only a faint golden glow.

Even so, Mu Tian and the others were still stunned.

“Is this a flying magical instrument?!”

Mu Tian stared at the floating boat in mid-air, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

The expressions of Zhao Feng and the other three were similar.

In recent years, with the continuous resurgence of spiritual energy,

many ancient caves have gradually reappeared in the world.

Not only have these traditions been passed down, but some fortunate individuals have also obtained ancient magical instruments and treasures.

Although these instruments have dimmed their spiritual light and greatly reduced their power,

after being re-refined and nurtured by the cultivators, they are gradually regaining some of their former power.

Among all magical instruments and treasures, the most sought-after by cultivators are undoubtedly flying magic weapons.

The ability to fly is undoubtedly crucial for cultivators.

Whether escaping or pursuing an enemy, cultivators who master the art of flight undoubtedly have an advantage.

However, mastering the art of flight is not easy.

Aside from those at the Jindan realm who can transform themselves into streams of light and fly independently,

cultivators below the Jindan realm have only two ways to master flight.

One is to cultivate secret flight techniques, such as the [Clear Wind Transformation Wings Technique].

The other is to utilize external objects for flight, such as talismans and magical treasures.

Of these methods, flying magic weapons are the most precious and rare.

After all, flying magic weapons are not only incredibly fast but also possess powerful defensive capabilities.

They can protect cultivators from surprise attacks while in flight, making them truly one of the most valuable magical weapons.

However, flying magic weapons are extremely rare, and only a few sects in the world possess such treasures.

And almost all of them are controlled by the leaders of the big sects. Unless it is necessary, they are almost not allowed to be taken out of the sect.

So when they saw Lu Qing casually use a flying magic weapon, Mu Tian and others were so surprised.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Qing was already used to Mu Tian and others’ occasional surprises, and he took Xiao Li in his arms and walked onto the flying boat first.

Then Xiao Yan and Wu Xing also walked up.

Finally, Mu Tian and others, with confusion and trepidation, carefully boarded the flying boat.

After seeing everyone on board, Lu Qing urged his mind, and the flying boat immediately turned into a stream of light, following the direction previously calculated by the Xuanji Bagua Plate, and flew away.
