I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 537

Chapter 537: Lord of Canglan City, Protector Jade Talisman

As the noble young man gazed upon them, the Treasure Tower Master and the others suddenly felt an immense pressure descend from the heavens.

It descended upon them like the collapse of the heavens,

causing their bodies to sink and crack under their feet.

Furthermore, as time passed, the pressure emanating from the noble young man grew heavier.

In a matter of moments, the waists and legs of the Treasure Tower Master and the others were constantly buckling and sinking.

He seemed intent on using his own aura to force them to their knees!

“This man isn’t even at the Yuan Shen realm, how can he be so powerful?!”

The Treasure Tower Master and the others, sensing the vast and oceanic aura of the noble young man, were filled with horror.

They could all tell that the young man in the sky wasn’t a Yuan Shen master, but only at the Jin Dan realm.

Yet, his aura was truly terrifying.

Like a celestial king, it instilled fear and trembling in their hearts.

They couldn’t help but want to kneel down and pay homage to him.

The two deputy tower masters, in particular, were filled with disbelief.

They were also powerful warriors at the seventh stage of the late Jindan stage.

Yet, they felt that they were not even on the same level compared to them.

“Interesting! This aura isn’t simply a form of overwhelming pressure, but rather one driven by some secret method, capable of shocking the soul and mind, subduing the enemy.”

Of all the people, only Lu Qing remained relaxed and unfazed by the noble young man’s aura.

He even had the leisure to analyze his opponent’s situation.

However, to avoid being too conspicuous, he still cooperated, temporarily displaying an uncomfortable expression.

“Young Master’s [Emperor’s Heart Sutra] has become increasingly refined.”

He watched as the Treasure Tower owner and the others, feeling overwhelmed by the noble young man’s aura, were practically on the verge of kneeling.

The two elders behind him also smiled and engaged in conversation.

“Indeed, among this generation of the master’s direct descendants, the young master’s [Emperor’s Heart Sutra] is the best.

He has already reached the eighth level of perfection in the Golden Core realm.

Given time, if he can perfect the ninth level,

then surviving the tribulation and achieving the Primordial Spirit will be a piece of cake.”

The servant-like old man nodded with great satisfaction. The

young master had surviving nine levels of heavenly tribulation to condense a flawless, top-grade Golden Core. His talent was astonishing.

Once he achieved the Primordial Spirit, he would surely continue to advance at a rapid pace, reaching great heights in the Primordial Spirit realm.

This was far beyond the capabilities of those like him, who gradually refined lower-grade Golden Cores and ascended to the Primordial Spirit realm with limited potential.

Once the young master achieved the Primordial Spirit, the mistress’s lineage would have a true support.

“Still hoping to resist?”

The elegant young man observed the Treasure Tower Master and the others struggling under the pressure of his [Emperor’s Heart Sutra], a look of disdain on his face.

Then his gaze hardened, his mind invigorated.

The next moment, the Treasure Tower Master and the others felt the pressure on them suddenly increase.   With a loud thud,

the   already injured guard, only at the first level of the Golden Core Realm, collapsed under the sudden surge of pressure.   Though on the brink of overwhelming pressure, he could no longer hold on and fell to his knees, fainting.   The Treasure House owner and the others were no better off, their legs buckling further and further, and they were on the verge of collapse.   ”Damn Qiu Rong!”   Feeling the almost irresistible pressure, the Treasure House owner felt deeply aggrieved.   His hatred for Qiu Rong surged.   If this traitor hadn’t destroyed the surrounding formations with the black array disk,   with the power of the formation, how could she have allowed herself to be bullied so completely, so powerless?   Seeing the Treasure House owner and the others struggling, Lu Qing sighed inwardly.   While he didn’t mind feigning pain to avoid conspicuousness,   kneeling down like that was simply out of the question.   Just as Lu Qing was about to strike, a shift in his mind caused his surging magical power to subside.   Then, a resounding voice suddenly rang out.   ”Haha, I didn’t expect that even such a talented person from the Gongshu family would be interested in visiting my small city in the lower realm. I am truly honored.”   As the voice sank, a figure also appeared in the sky.   Standing in front of the three elegant young men,   it was a middle-aged man in a black robe, tall and with a rugged expression.   With the appearance of this middle-aged man, the Treasure Tower owner and the others felt a sudden relief, allowing them to stand up straight.   ”It’s the Lord City Lord!”   The Treasure Tower owner and the others felt relieved upon seeing the middle-aged man appear.   A sense of relief surged from their hearts, a sense of relief at having survived.   Had the Lord City Lord arrived a few breaths later, they would have collapsed to their knees, their spirits severely wounded.   ”Is this the Lord of Canglan City?”   Lu Qing’s mind stirred, and he quietly activated his supernatural power.   Soon, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes as he saw the message that appeared in his field of vision.   ”The Soul Tribulation, the cultivation of this Canglan City Lord is one level higher than those two old men.”   ”Young Master, be careful!”

Upon seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man in black robes, the two elders behind the elegant young man Gongshu Yu’s expressions suddenly changed, and they all stood in front of him.

They could sense a faint, dangerous aura emanating from him.

This Nangong Yuanwu, cultivating in this lower realm, had actually achieved a breakthrough?

A simultaneous thought crossed the minds of the two elders.

According to their information, when Nangong Yuanwu was exiled to the lower realm, he, like them, had just entered the realm of the Primordial Spirit.

Unexpectedly, after a century in this lesser realm of spiritual energy, he had actually broken through and entered the First Tribulation Realm!

“Uncle Cai, don’t worry. I believe City Lord Nangong won’t act rashly.

After all, we’re here to help him capture a demonic spy.

This is a noble cause, and City Lord Nangong shouldn’t be ignorant of right and wrong.”

Gongshu Yu remained calm, a smile on his face.

However, his words were somewhat intriguing.

“Oh? Are there demonic spies in my Canglan City? How come I didn’t know?”

The Canglan City Lord asked calmly, his expression indifferent.

“City Lord Nangong, you’re joking! That demonic aura down there is so obvious, don’t you think you didn’t see it?”

Gongshu Yu paused, his smile fading.

“Did you?”

The Canglan City Lord waved his sleeve, and a stream of light shot out, landing on the black light that still emanated a terrifying and eerie aura.

The next moment, the black light melted and disintegrated like snow under the scorching sun, finally extinguishing completely.

After this, the Canglan City Lord continued slowly, “How could I not see it?”

Seeing this, Gongshu Yu’s face turned cold.

“It seems that City Lord Nangong is shielding these demonic spies from the Treasure House?

I wonder if you can bear the consequences if I report this to the Punishment Hall?”

“We’ll talk after you report it,” the Canglan City Lord said nonchalantly. “Besides, are you sure you can escape my Canglan City?”

With these words, the air around them suddenly grew chilly.

An extremely dangerous aura emanated from the Canglan City Lord.

Gongshu Yu’s pupils suddenly shrank.

The two elders standing in front of Gongshu Yu shuddered, staring at each other as if facing a formidable enemy.

One of them roared.

“Nangong Yuanwu, you dare touch our young master? Do you want your Nangong family to go to war with our Gongshu family?!”

“War with your Gongshu family?” the Canglan City Lord asked, a hint of a smile. “With a mere Jindan realm cultivator like you, do you have the power to do that?”

The coldness in his eyes made the two elders’ hearts tighten.

They suddenly regretted their arrogance.

Nangong Yuanwu, after his breakthrough, seemed to have become even more unbridled.

He seemed to have no regard for the Gongshu family and truly intended to attack them.

The elder continued, “Nangong Yuanwu, Young Master Yu is a direct descendant of our Daozi. If you dare to touch him, expect our Gongshu family to declare war on your Nangong family!”

“Daozi?”

The Canglan City Lord’s gaze fell on Gongshu Yu.

After a few breaths, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

“So that’s how it is. You’ve cultivated the [Emperor’s Heart Art], so why are you so arrogant, causing trouble in my territory?

Boy, let me warn you, there are always people better than you.

Don’t let your mere cultivation lead you to think you’re so great, or I’ll crush you to death!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire city fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by the Canglan City Lord’s overbearing words.

Even Lu Qing was surprised.

This Canglan City Lord’s actions seemed a little unusual.

As for Gongshu Yu, his expression darkened.

He hadn’t expected this Nangong Yuanwu to be such a brazen brat.

Not only was he completely oblivious to the relationship between the two families, he even dared to insult him in public!

He, Gongshu Yu, had never been publicly insulted like this before!

Uncontrollable anger welled up within him.

“It seems that City Lord Nangong is determined to protect these evildoers from the Treasure House,” Gongshu Yu said coldly.

“Boy, you call demons demons? If you keep arguing, I’ll crush you to death!”

Seeing him still nagging, the Canglan City Lord glared at Gongshu Yu.

“Good, very good!” But Gongshu Yu remained oblivious, instead laughing angrily. “No one has ever dared to insult me like this!”

“Nangong Yuanwu, you’re just an old soul with limited potential, banished to this lower realm by the Nangong family, barely surviving. How dare you insult me?”

“Since you insist on shielding these demon spies, I’ll capture you as well and file a complaint in the Criminal Court. How dare your Nangong family collude with the demons!”

With that, Gongshu Yu suddenly ripped a jade plaque engraved with mysterious runes from his neck.

He then bit his tongue, forcing a stream of blood and spraying it onto it.

“Protective Jade Talisman! Young Master, don’t!”

The two elders, shocked by this, tried to stop Gongshu Yu,

but it was too late.

Gongshu Yu was already able to activate the magic formula, activating the jade token.

The next moment, an immense aura emerged from the jade token.

“Uncle Cai, Steward, there’s no need to stop me. This beast dares to insult me like this. If I swallow this, my Dao heart will surely be damaged. My

[Emperor’s Heart Art] will never make any further progress.

Only by capturing this beast can I vent my hatred!”

Upon hearing this, the two elders paused.

Remembering the unique nature of the [Emperor’s Heart Art],

they knew there was truly no room for maneuver.

“A Protective Jade Talisman?!”

The Lord of Canglan City was also startled when he sensed the aura emanating from the jade talisman in Gongshu Yu’s hand.

He was about to attack, but the two elders, who had been extremely wary of him just moments ago, now took the initiative to meet him.

“Don’t even think about it!”

They joined forces, creating a wave of magical light that blocked the Lord of Canglan City.

It would take time for the young master to activate the Protective Jade Talisman.

They had to buy the young master some time.

“Get out of here!”

The Canglan City Lord’s gaze was stern. The sleeves of his black robe, transformed into a river from the abyss, blasted towards the two elders.

Boom!

The clash of the three Yuan Shen realm masters instantly sent the spiritual energy above Canglan City into a frenzy, distorting even the very laws of nature.

The vast power radiated, causing all the cultivators in the city below to weaken.

Except for those above the Jindan realm who could barely stand

, the rest collapsed to the ground, watching the battle in terror.

The sheer amount of energy leaking from the clash of Yuan Shen realm masters was too much for lower-level cultivators like them to withstand.

If it weren’t for the massive formation protecting Canglan City,

countless of them would have perished by now.

“How could things have escalated to this point?”

Outside the Treasure Tower, Tianji Fangzhu, who had originally intended to come over to witness the devastated state of the Treasure Tower Lord and his companions, stared at the sky in disbelief.

His heart was filled with immense fear.

He had never imagined that his original plan to eliminate the Treasure House would escalate into such a fierce battle at the Soul Realm.

If Young Master Yu were to suffer any misfortune, he would be unable to atone for his sin even if he died ten times.

Amidst the violent explosion of spiritual energy, the two elders could no longer maintain their positions and were rapidly retreating.

Once they regained their composure, the shock on their faces was unmistakable.

The difference between the initial stage of the Soul Realm and the first stage of the Soul Realm was only one level, but

the sheer disparity in strength astonished them.

Even combined, neither could completely block the other’s attack.

However, being able to block the blow was sufficient for them.

Having forced two Soul Realm masters back with a single blow, the Canglan City Lord’s face showed no sign of elation.

Instead, his gaze grew grave as he looked towards Gongshu Yu.

By then, the jade token in Gongshu Yu’s hand had vanished,

leaving only wisps of jade powder floating in the air.

Beside him, an elderly figure, his expression impassive and his form somewhat distorted, stood with his hands behind his back.

“Protective Jade Talisman,”

the Canglan City Lord gazed at the figure with a solemn gaze.

He was no stranger to the Protective Jade Talisman.

This is a protective treasure crafted by the great families of the Upper Realm for their outstanding disciples.

Within this jade talisman lies the primordial power of a supreme being, one who has attained the third tribulation of the soul.

By activating this through the bloodline, the talisman’s primordial power can be summoned to slay the enemy.

It is one of the most powerful protective methods bestowed upon the core disciples of the great families of the Upper Realm.

He had never expected Gongshu Yu to possess this protective jade talisman.

Even more surprising was his willingness to use it here without any regret.
