I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 561

Chapter 561: Grudges, Chance Encounter, Soul-Devouring Devil Fire

“Impossible! How could Senior Brother do such a thing!”

the purple-robed young man blurted out at Li Motian’s words.

The others all shared expressions of disbelief.

The young woman, in particular, shouted, “You’re slandering me! How could Senior Brother do such a thing as slaughtering civilians!”

“Impossible?” Li Motian sneered. “I know you don’t believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes.

Gan Lingxiao and Gongshu Zheng, a direct descendant of the Gongshu family, were sparring and comparing their Daoist skills.

Just a tiny bit of the aftermath razed my hometown to the ground.

Not a single villager was spared.

I’d recognize Gan Lingxiao and Gongshu Zheng’s faces even if they were reduced to ash!”

Senior Brother and Gongshu Zheng!

Hearing these two names, the purple-robed young man and the others shuddered.

They all knew that Gongshu Zheng, a disciple of the Gongshu family, was indeed a close friend of Senior Brother.

Legend has it that the two met through a fight and eventually became close friends.

Even they had seen Gongshu Zheng visit the eldest senior brother more than once.

However, they still refused to believe that the eldest senior brother, always as gentle as jade and as elegant as a young man, would do such a thing.

Moreover, Gongshu Zheng was also well-known among the younger generation as a disciple of an aristocratic family. He would definitely not slaughter civilians at will.

The purple-clothed young man immediately questioned, “You said you saw the eldest senior brother and his men destroy your hometown with your own eyes. According to you, you were just a child back then. How could they have escaped their perception and survived?” “

Perhaps your eldest senior brother has never taken us, ordinary people, like ants, seriously.” Li Motian laughed self-deprecatingly.

“One is a true disciple of a major sect, and the other is a descendant of one of the Thirty-Six Supreme Clans.

Back then, both their cultivation and status were considered supreme throughout the entire Tianyuan World.

How could they even take a child like me, no more than an ant, seriously?

It’s not even worth it to take the initiative and crush an ant like me.”

“So, everything you say is just one-sided. There’s no evidence at all. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I even said you were slandering Senior Brother!”

the girl retorted.

“Indeed, given Senior Brother’s character, he wouldn’t do such a thing. It’s you, on the other hand, who defected to the demon clan and cultivated demonic skills. So, these are just your words of disloyalty. We won’t be fooled!”

another young man shouted.

“Slander

, if you say so.” Li Motian seemed to have anticipated the girls’ and their words.

Qian Lingxiao’s disguise was truly too good; if he hadn’t witnessed the beast’s actions firsthand,

He probably wouldn’t believe that the other party was such a beast in human form.

Furthermore, he was the son of the Qiankun Sect’s leader, a true disciple of the inner sect, and a peerless genius who had achieved the state of the Primordial Spirit after only two hundred years of cultivation.

No one would believe such a person, no matter what he said.

“I’m not telling you this to convince you. It’s simply because we’ve been fellow disciples for so many years that I want you to die with a clear conscience, rather than suffer an unjust death.”

“Not good!”

Listening to Li Motian’s increasingly cold words, the purple-robed young man felt a sudden chill in his heart.

He knew it was time to fight tooth

and nail. Without a second thought, he unleashed a purple talisman from his dantian.

Inspired by his mind, the talisman instantly grew to half the size of a human. Countless lightning bolts emanated from it, radiating a powerful force.

The aura that had been suppressing them since Li Motian’s appearance was instantly swept away.

The purple-robed youth roared, “Hurry up, leave! I’ll stop him!”

“Life Talisman?”

Li Motian stared at the purple lightning talisman, his expression unchanged.

“Your top-grade Life Talisman is truly extraordinary. Unfortunately, your cultivation hasn’t reached its full potential, so you can’t unleash its full power and stop me.”

However, the purple-robed youth ignored him and continued to shout, “Hurry up!”

Then, with a flick of his finger, a powerful bolt of lightning shot towards Li Motian.

Boom!

A cloud of dust suddenly rose.

…

“Strange, Ah Qing, it seems there aren’t any treasures left in this mountain range.”

Xiao Li, standing on Lu Qing’s shoulder in the forest, asked with some confusion.

“Of course, we’ve almost explored this mountain range these past few days.

I’m afraid you’ve found all the treasures here, Xiao Li.

So, Xiao Li, it’s almost time for us to set off,”

Lu Qing said with a hint of helplessness.

Ever since finding the Dragon Blood Vermillion Fruit last time, Xiao Li had somehow become extremely interested in treasure hunting.

As if their instincts had been unleashed, they dragged Lu Qing across the mountains, searching for treasure.

Fortunately, there weren’t any powerful beings above the Yuanshen realm nearby, otherwise, if they had been running around like that, they would have gotten into trouble long ago.

However, because of this, Lu Qing and his companions had a fruitful harvest over the past few days.

Not only did they find several mid- and high-grade spiritual herbs,

they even stumbled upon the cave where a late Jindan realm expert had once retreated, and found some treasures within.

However, after two days of wandering, Xiao Li hadn’t sensed any treasures nearby.

It seemed they’d already found most of the high-level treasures in this mountain range.

“So that’s the case. Let’s search for treasure elsewhere later,” Xiao Li said with a hint of regret.

“Yes, this mountain range is just an ordinary one in the Tianyuan World. We’ll

do our treasure hunt again when we reach famous mountains and rivers.”

Seeing Xiao Li give up, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said.

The little guy’s sudden enthusiasm for treasure hunting had finally subsided.

As for Wu Xing, after some coaxing from Xiao Li, that guy finally obtained the corpse of a Jindan-level spirit beast from Xiao Li two days ago.

After devouring it, it entered his Qiankun Yiqi Bag and was slowly digesting it.

Boom!

Just as Lu Qing was about to take Xiao Li away from the mountain range,

a sudden surge of mana came from the front.

“Is that the mana of a human cultivator? Someone’s fighting up ahead?”

Lu Qing was slightly taken aback. The mana surge wasn’t very strong.

He immediately leaped into the air, ready to see what was going on.

Just as he reached mid-air, he saw a figure staggering toward him.

Judging by its figure and face, it resembled a young girl.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the girl had already spotted him.

An anxious look immediately crossed her face, and she shouted, “Daoist friend, run! There’s an evil demon behind us…”

But before she could finish her words, a hand formed from black energy flew out from the forest below, grabbed her, and dragged her downward.

The young woman panicked, knowing she couldn’t escape. Desperately, she shouted to Lu Qing,

“Run! Go to the Qiankun Sect and tell them we were killed by the demonic spy, Li Motian…”

Then, a flash of white sword light suddenly flew from the front and descended upon her.

In an instant, it shattered the black energy holding her captive, freeing her.

While the young woman was stunned, a gentle voice echoed.

“Young lady, if you have any questions, you should report them yourself. I don’t know where the Qiankun Sect is.”

The young woman looked up suddenly to see the young man who had been a hundred feet away now standing before her.

He was dressed in simple cloth, and a spirit beast resembling a raccoon cat with mottled fur rested on his shoulder.

“Did you, fellow Daoist, save me?” the girl said blankly.

“Yes,” Lu Qing smiled faintly.

The girl suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, please save my brothers and sisters. They’ve all fallen into the hands of an evil cultivator.

I’ll do anything to free them!”

“Young lady, is this the evil cultivator you’re referring to?”

Lu Qing didn’t immediately agree, but pointed forward.

The girl turned abruptly and shuddered.

Not far behind her, she saw Li Motian, shrouded in black flames, gazing at them coldly.

Seeing that only Li Motian was chasing them, the girl trembled in her heart and shouted,

“Li Motian, what have you done to Senior Brother Zixiao and the others?”

“Don’t worry, you’ll see them underground soon,” Li Motian said coldly.

“Li Motian, you’re not human! Senior Brother Zixiao and the others treat you like a close friend, yet you’ve done such a cruel thing!”

The girl, overcome with grief and indignation, launched into a barrage of curses.

Unfortunately, Li Motian ignored her.

He simply glanced at Lu Qing, his gaze etched with a hint of solemnity.

The man before him, though seemingly weak and only at the first stage of the Golden Core stage,

had just managed to break his [Heavenly Demon Palm], a feeling of apprehension in him.

“Who are you, sir? Do you wish to interfere in Li’s affairs?”

“No,” Lu Qing shook his head. “I do not wish to interfere in your feud.”

Although Lu Qing could clearly see that the young man, shrouded in black flames, was a genuine demon cultivator,

he was not from the Tianyuan World and did not share the same indignation toward demon cultivators that those of that world did.

He did not wish to meddle in other people’s feuds until he had fully understood the entire situation.

The girl beside him, upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, stared at him in disbelief.

Li Motian was also taken aback by Lu Qing’s response.

But he quickly recovered.

“In that case, please hand over the woman beside you.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Qing shook his head again. “I’m sorry, I can’t do that. Judging from your expression, if this girl fell into your hands, she wouldn’t survive.

I’m not in the habit of throwing a stranger out to die.”

“Are you kidding me?” Li Motian narrowed his eyes, a deep chill emanating from him.

“Do you think that just because you broke a minor Taoist technique of mine, you have the right to stop me?”

“Of course I wouldn’t, but I’m just not used to being threatened,” Lu Qing said calmly.

At this moment, Li Motian’s message appeared in his field of vision.

“So, you lost your family and hometown when you were young due to the aftermath of a battle between two powerful warriors.

To gain the power for revenge, you deliberately fell into the devil’s way and joined the demon clan?”

Soon, after reading the messages, Lu Qing had a better understanding of Li Motian’s background.

He understood that the girl’s words were true.

However, the man before him, radiating demonic energy, was no ordinary demon cultivator.

“If that’s the case, then I, Li, would like to see what you’re relying on!”

Upon hearing this, Li Motian stopped talking and raised his hand, sending a jet of black flame hurtling towards Lu Qing at breakneck speed.

The flame was truly bizarre. When it first flew out, it was only the thickness of a forearm.

But as it flew, it continuously devoured the surrounding spiritual energy, strengthening itself.

In the blink of an eye, it rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant dragon, biting towards Lu Qing.

Even more bizarre was the fact that despite such a massive flame, the surrounding world didn’t feel a single scorching sensation.

Instead, it instilled a chilling chill from the depths of the girl and Xiao Li’s souls.

“Be careful!” the girl exclaimed.

She had witnessed the terrifying power of Li Motian’s black flames before.

While seemingly calm, this black fire was actually incredibly strange.

Even a formidable Senior Brother Zixiao, even if caught a little bit by it, would be unable to extinguish it, incinerating him to the point of losing his arm to survive.

In the end, even his natal talisman was consumed by the black fire.

“Interesting,”

Lu Qing observed, amusement flashing in his eyes as he watched the giant black fire dragon flying toward him.

He then formed his fingers into a sword and gently swung it.

A tornado of sword energy erupted from his body.

As soon as the tornado emerged, it immediately swallowed the dragon whole.

Countless tiny sword energies sliced around the giant black fire dragon, each one easily extinguishing a single strand of black flame.

In less than three breaths, the giant black fire dragon, which had radiated terrifying power, vanished completely, utterly annihilated.

“How is this possible?”

Not only was the girl shocked,

but even Li Motian could no longer maintain his composure.

Seeing his ultimate weapon so easily neutralized by Lu Qing, Li Motian’s eyes lit up with disbelief.

You have to understand, his [Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire] is no ordinary flame.

It devours spiritual energy to strengthen itself. Even mana can’t extinguish it; instead, it becomes nourishment, fueling the flames and fueling their flames.

Therefore, once a cultivator is burned, they must immediately sever part of their body or even their wrist to survive.

Otherwise, the slightest hesitation will cause the flames to spread throughout the body, incinerating the person to death and annihilating their soul.

And now, facing this ordinary-looking young man with seemingly mediocre cultivation.

He was actually able to completely annihilate his [Soul Devouring Demonic Fire] with just sword energy?

Even a late-stage Jindan realm expert would find it difficult to achieve such an ability.

“Who are you?”

Li Motian could no longer maintain his composure. A look of immense fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lu Qing and asked in a deep voice.
