I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 535

Chapter 535: Secrets and Surprises

Hearing the elegant young man’s words, the owner of Tianjifang was initially startled, then secretly delighted.

He knew that Young Master Yu was displeased with the Treasure House.

If this man were to intervene, the current predicament facing Tianjifang would likely be resolved immediately.

However, he spoke cautiously, “Young Master Yu, it’s said that the owner of the Treasure House has a rather illustrious background, being the concubine of a prominent figure in the Upper Realm.

Furthermore, within Canglan City, there are rules: commercial competition between businesses is permitted, but v*olence is forbidden.

Furthermore, the owner of the Treasure House has a close relationship with the City Lord.

So, while the Treasure House is breaking the rules, with the City Lord’s support, none of us can do anything to her.”

“The concubine of a prominent figure in the Upper Realm?”

The elegant young man was slightly startled, turning to look at one of the elders behind him.

“Young Master, the owner of the Treasure House is Mo Hongyun,” the elder replied.

“From the Mo family?”

The elegant young man was somewhat surprised.

In the Upper Realm, while the Mo family was far inferior to the Gongshu family, they were still quite renowned.

The clan’s ancestor is said to have reached the realm of the Third Tribulation of the Soul.

If he can grasp even a glimmer of the secrets of space in the future, it’s not impossible for him to reach the Fourth Tribulation of the Soul.

However…

“When did the Mo Clan become so bold, even daring to steal our Gongshu Clan’s business?”

“Normal Mo Clan members naturally wouldn’t dare to mess with our Gongshu Clan.

But Tianjifang is, after all, Madam’s private property, and doesn’t publicly display our Gongshu Clan’s name.

It’s natural that these commoners in the lower realms don’t know fear.

Furthermore, Mo Hongyun is said to have been favored by a Grand Elder of the Hehuan Clan.

Once she reaches the Golden Core Perfection, he will take her as a concubine, so it’s normal for her to act a little crazy.”

“Favored by a Grand Elder of the Hehuan Clan?” This momentarily surprised the elegant young man. “Then why is she still in this lower realm?”

“Rumor has it that she reached some agreement with the Grand Elder of the Hehuan Clan, granting her fifty years of freedom. After that period, she willingly went to the Hehuan Clan,” the old man explained.

“I see. No wonder she’s so brazen. It seems this woman’s bloodline is somewhat special, otherwise the Grand Elder of the Hehuan Sect wouldn’t have agreed to such conditions.”

The elegant young man nodded, suddenly realizing.

The Tianji Fangzhu and the others standing nearby were even more awed.

It turned out the owner of the Zhenbao Tower truly had a deep connection with a prominent figure from the upper realm.

“This old servant thinks so too. The Hehuan Sect has always been overbearing. If Mo Hongyun hadn’t been special, she would have been sent to the Hehuan Sect long ago, and she wouldn’t have the right to negotiate terms.”

“Hmph, so what about the Hehuan Sect? Do we, the Gongshu Clan, fear them?

Since they dare to raise their claws like this, I will chop them off. She

‘s just a concubine of a Supreme Elder, yet she dares to be so presumptuous?

Even if her backers were here, they wouldn’t dare to show off in front of us, the Gongshu Clan.

Uncle Xing, bring her to me now. I want to see what kind of bastard dares to steal our Gongshu Clan’s spirit stones!”

The elegant young man snorted coldly, addressing the servant-like old man behind him.

“Young Master, no!” However, another elder quickly dissuaded him, “Capturing Mo Hongyun may be easy, but the Lord of Canglan City will certainly not stand idly by. He’s from the Nangong Clan.”

“Nangong Clan?” The elegant young man frowned.

The relationship between the Gongshu Clan and the Nangong Clan was not exactly friendly.

“Indeed, this man is from the Nangong family’s ‘Yuan’ generation, and his cultivation has reached the Soul Formation realm.

Furthermore, he controls the great formation of Canglan City.

If he truly intervenes, even Senior Xing and I, combined, may not be able to defeat him.”

Upon hearing this, the elegant young man fell silent.

If this were indeed the case, it would be quite difficult to deal with.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Yu. I have a plan that will allow us to attack the Treasure House openly, and even the City Lord would be hard-pressed to intervene.”

At this moment, the Master of Tianji Fang seized the opportunity and spoke.

“Oh, you have a plan? Tell me about it. If it’s feasible, I might consider exonerating you from the blame for your poor management this time.”

The elegant young man glanced over.

The Master of Tianji Fang was delighted; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

“It’s like this. This old servant has already made arrangements inside the Treasure House, sending a formation disk containing sealed demonic energy inside.

If that demonic energy erupts, the Treasure House will harbor demonic elements. Even the City Lord won’t be able to protect them…”

After the Tianji Fang Master explained his plans, the elegant young man beamed with joy.

He clapped his hands and laughed, “Haha, this is a good plan. Eliminating demonic evil is a noble cause, one that anyone can pursue. Even the Nangong family wouldn’t dare openly harbor demons.

Okay, let’s do as you say. I also want to see what’s so special about this woman that the Grand Elder of the Hehuan Sect has chosen.”

“Then this old servant will make arrangements right away!”

Eager to atone for his sins, the Tianji Fang Master didn’t dare delay and immediately went down to personally make the arrangements.

Soon, a mysterious figure emerged from the Tianji Fang.

Arriving on the street where the Treasure House was located, his aura shifted, and his appearance transformed into that of an ordinary cultivator. He pretended to be a regular customer and entered the Treasure House.

Not long after, Master Qiu in the cave arose a thought and took out a jade talisman.

After reading the message on it, his heart was shaken and a surge of ecstasy rose from his heart.

Fortunately, he was quite shrewd and suppressed his joy, not letting it show.

He said calmly, “Shitou, go outside and help me get something from someone.”

“Yes, Master,”

the disciple called Shitou replied respectfully, then left the cave.

Although Master Qiu had been punished by the Treasure Tower’s owner to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes for a month, his disciples were not punished and could still come and go freely.

Shitou soon returned from outside, handing his master a storage bag.

“Master, this is something from the person you mentioned.”

“Well, you go down first,”

Master Qiu said, taking the item and waving his hand.

After his disciple went down, he impatiently broke the small barrier on the storage bag and probed into it with his spiritual power.

The next moment, sensing the small pile of rich spiritual stones within the storage bag, his face was filled with ecstasy, no longer able to be suppressed.

“One thousand mid-grade spirit stones, just like that!”

Master Qiu’s hands trembled slightly as he held the storage bag.

He had worked diligently in the Treasure House for so many years, yet the amount of spirit stones he had accumulated was far less than this.

He had never expected that a single opportunity would allow him to earn such a huge sum.

Just as Master Qiu was ecstatic, the special communication talisman in his hand began to vibrate again.

He checked it, and his expression suddenly changed.

“Are we going to act now? So urgent?”

Master Qiu hesitated.

According to the agreement between the two parties, they wanted to make everything ready before taking action.

Now the other side wanted to attack immediately?

He hadn’t yet arranged his retreat.

He knew that after this incident, he would no longer be able to stay in the Treasure Tower, and even Canglan City would be no place to stay for long.

So, according to his original plan, he wanted to wait until he had a retreat in place before taking action.

After hesitating for a moment, Master Qiu glanced at the storage bag of spirit stones in his hand, and a look of determination suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This was a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. If he missed this opportunity, he might never have another chance to earn so many spirit stones.

On the contrary, with this batch of spirit stones, he would have enough capital to travel to the upper realm and purchase the elixir for refining the golden elixir.

Perhaps in the future, there would be a chance to achieve a high-grade golden elixir, break through to the late stage of the golden elixir, or even unlock the secrets of the primordial spirit.

Thinking of this, Master Qiu’s hesitation suddenly disappeared.

After putting away his things, he left the meditation room and headed for the cave entrance.

“Master, where are you going? Didn’t the tower master say you’re not allowed to leave the cave for a month?”

a disciple warned him after seeing him.

“Why, do you need to ask where Master is going?”

Master Qiu’s face darkened.

“Disciple

, I dare not.” The disciple who had asked the question fell silent, not daring to ask again.

Seeing this, the other disciples became even more afraid to speak, watching their master leave the cave.

After leaving the cave, Master Qiu didn’t hesitate. He immediately used the aura concealment technique to suppress his own aura and quickly headed towards Lu Qing’s cave.

As a sixth-level Jindan cultivator, Master Qiu’s aura concealment was naturally exceptional.

The occasional maids and the like he encountered along the way were completely unaware of his whereabouts.

Of course, this was also because the Treasure House had been doing so well recently.

Most of the attention in the building was focused on the front hall, giving Master Qiu an opportunity.

Soon, Master Qiu found a hidden corner near Lu Qing’s cave.

Gazing at the cave ahead, which was clearly superior to his own, Master Qiu’s face was filled with jealousy.

The cave dwelling Lu Qing inhabited was a Soul-level abode, a level higher than his own.

Originally, it should have been his, but it was snatched away by a savage who had appeared out of nowhere.

“Boy, blame yourself for being too arrogant and unrestrained.

How could you so easily control the interests of so many forces in the city?

You deserve what you’ve done today!”

Master Qiu thought bitterly, then pulled a black array disk from his storage bag.

The disk was sealed with powerful restrictions, requiring a Jindan-level cultivator proficient in rune array formations to activate and unlock it.

This was why Tianjifang went to such great lengths to bribe Master Qiu.

Besides the fact that Master Qiu was a member of the Treasure Tower, which gave them a more compelling reason to act,

it was also because ordinary cultivators simply couldn’t break the restrictions on the disk.

However, sending a Jindan-level formation master to infiltrate the Treasure House was far too difficult, so they could only temporarily tolerate Master Qiu’s greed.

Master Qiu followed the instructions provided by the person who had originally given him the formation disk,

slowly removing the restrictions from the black disk.

As each layer of restrictions was released, he grew increasingly alarmed.

“What exactly is sealed within this formation disk?”

Master Qiu’s eyes flashed with horror.

He could sense a terrifying aura emanating from it, as if it threatened to devour him.

“This is definitely something related to beings above the Yuanshen realm!”

Master Qiu suddenly realized, feeling he was holding an incredibly hot potato.

A single misstep could land him in the trap.

But at this point, he couldn’t back down. He

gritted his teeth and continued to dismantle the restrictions.

However, he didn’t dare hold the object in his hands any longer. He simply let it linger in the air, his hands rapidly forming hand seals and immersing himself in the formation disk.

Although the emanating magical fluctuations might draw attention, he couldn’t care less.

He could sense the terrifying power within the array disk.

If it were to unleash, it would undoubtedly cause chaos.

Even if he were discovered, the Treasure Tower would likely be too busy to deal with him.

As Master Qiu’s hand seals quickened, the restrictions lifted at a faster pace.

Soon, only the final few layers remained.

As expected, the emanations of his magical power attracted the attention of the nearby guards.

“Master Qiu, have you emerged from seclusion?”

A guard arrived to investigate, startled by the sight.

Wasn’t Master Qiu punished by the tower master to face the wall in his cave? How could he be here ?

Even more astonishing was the sight of a black array disk hovering in front of Master Qiu, emitting waves of distorted, eerie light.

“Master Qiu, what are you doing?!”

the guard, realizing something was amiss, demanded.

However, Master Qiu turned a deaf ear to his words and formed seals even faster.

The guard immediately stopped hesitating and urged the magic sword in his hand, sending out streaks of sword light to attack Master Qiu.

He retreated rapidly, simultaneously producing a bell-shaped magical instrument and shaking it vigorously.

Master Qiu was a powerful sixth-stage Jindan cultivator. Even if he wasn’t skilled in combat, he was no match for a mere first-stage, low-grade Jindan cultivator like him.

Therefore, rushing forward would only lead to his own death.

The most reliable solution was to wait for the other guards to arrive and join forces.

As expected, the guard saw his sword flash about to strike Master Qiu.

Suddenly, the robes he wore erupted in magical light, completely blocking his blade, rendering him harmless.

At that moment, as the bell in his hand rang,

he saw Master Qiu’s hands, which had been rapidly forming hand seals, suddenly pause. Then,

with a ferocious expression, he forcefully pushed forward the black array disk, which was emitting an eerie black light and hovering in front of him.

His direction was precisely the cave dwelling of Master Lu, the chief talisman maker!

As the black array disk flew, the black light emanating from it gradually grew larger, transforming into a sphere.

When it reached Master Lu’s cave, with a loud bang, the entire array disk suddenly shattered.

The next moment, a massive black light shot up into the sky, emitting waves of terrifying power.
