I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 601

Chapter 601: An unexpected surprise, hunting again, causing suspicion

“Fellow Daoist Chen is going to the ancient pagoda?” Qin Zheng was surprised.

The other disciples of the Qiankun Sect also looked over.

“Yes, I gained something from my battle with the black wolf yesterday. I have made some progress in understanding the Taoist technique I practice, but I still can’t fully comprehend it, so I want to go there again to test it out and see if I can gain anything.”

Lu Qing found an excuse.

“I see, then let’s go there with Fellow Daoist Chen.” Qin Zheng suddenly realized.

If it involves enlightenment from cultivation, then it really can’t be let go easily. After all,

enlightenment is rare. If you miss this time, you don’t know when it will appear again.

“No need to be so troublesome, I can go there by myself. I’m familiar with the road anyway, and it won’t take much time to go back and forth.” Lu Qing refused.

He would probably have to go back and forth to the plain outside the ancient pagoda many times in the future, and it would be inconvenient to have so many people accompany him every time.

“How can that be possible?” Qin Zheng said hurriedly. “There’s no telling how many powerful individuals are lurking in the dense forest outside the ancient pagoda, spying on us. And didn’t I just say that the Gongshu family might attack us from the shadows?”

“Don’t worry about that, Fellow Daoist Qin. I may not possess any other skills, but I’m a master at escaping. As long as I’m careful, I believe no one in this secret realm can stop me.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s confident expression, Qin Zheng was at a loss for words.

The others were similarly disapproving. While they disagreed with Lu Qing heading to the ancient pagoda alone, Lu Qing was their Qiankun Sect’s benefactor, and if he insisted, they had no way to stop him.

Finally, at Lu Qing’s insistence, Qin Zheng and the others could only watch anxiously as he left the valley.

“Second Brother, what should we do? What if Brother Chen is ambushed by the Gongshu family and something happens?”

Chu Xiaojing asked anxiously as she watched Lu Qing depart.

“Fellow Daoist Chen insisted on going alone, and there was nothing we could do,” Qin Zheng said helplessly. “At his level of cultivation, his resolve must be incredibly strong. How could he be easily swayed by others?”

“That being said…” Chu Xiaojing’s face flushed with anxiety, but she couldn’t immediately come up with a reason.

Ye Qingzhu and the others were similarly worried, unsure of what to do.

“Actually, there’s no need to worry,”

Taoist Wubao suddenly said.

Indeed, Lu Qing hadn’t even brought him along when he ventured to the ancient pagoda this time.

“Why do you say that, Taoist?” Qin Zheng asked, a thought stirring.

“Your concerns about Fellow Daoist Chen being ambushed by the Gongshu family are actually unnecessary.” Taoist Wubao smiled. “Fellow Daoist Chen is not only unfathomable in strength, but also possesses astonishing spiritual perception. Few can escape his detection.

Furthermore, his spirit beast is truly remarkable, seemingly possessing some special sensory ability that allows it to perceive what others cannot. Even the most powerful concealment techniques cannot conceal its spiritual perception.”

That spirit beast?

Everyone thought of the raccoon cat spirit beast that Lu Qing always kept by his side, often found slumbering in his arms.

They hadn’t expected it to be so adorable, and possess such miraculous abilities.

Ye Qingzhu and Zixiao, on the other hand, recalled the terrifying aura Xiao Li had once glimpsed when they were comprehending the Tianshu City inscription on Guanli Peak.

It seemed they hadn’t been mistaken; Fellow Daoist Chen’s adorable spirit beast was truly extraordinary.

“That being said, the Gongshu family is a prominent clan ranked highly among the Thirty-Six Supreme Clans, with a profound heritage. They possess not only remarkable skills and unique techniques, but also powerful magical weapons. If Gongshu Yu and his companions were carrying powerful aura-disguising artifacts, Fellow Daoist Chen and his spirit beast wouldn’t necessarily be able to detect them.”

Qin Zheng still wasn’t completely reassured.

It wasn’t that he was worrying unnecessarily, but he knew all too well the depth of the foundation of a powerful clan like the Gongshu family. Once targeted by such a force, extreme caution was essential.

“Actually, on our way here, before we met you all, Fellow Daoist Chen and I had already encountered someone from the Gongshu Clan. Back then, Young Master Gongshu Yu was using a magical weapon to conceal his aura, but Fellow Daoist Chen saw through it instantly.”

Taoist Wubao then dropped another bombshell.

“Have you encountered someone from the Gongshu Clan?”

Qin Zheng and the others were startled.

“Yes, it was also in this dense forest. When Fellow Daoist Chen revealed his whereabouts, Gongshu Yu was quite surprised, saying that few could see through his magical weapon, the Wuxiang Qingyanluo, to conceal his aura…”

As Taoist Wubao recounted their encounter with someone from the Gongshu Clan to the Qiankun Sect disciples,

Lu Qing had already swiftly passed through the dense forest and arrived at the plain outside the ancient pagoda.

Then, as he looked at the strange beast standing there, he was stunned.

He saw another black wolf standing in the same area where he had slain the black wolf yesterday.

The entire plain was still filled with eighteen alien beasts, firmly guarding the ancient pagoda.

“Why is there another black wolf?” Lu Qing paused for a moment, then a rather unconvincing thought occurred to him. “Could it be that the guardian beasts on this plain are fixed, and if any are lost, the ancient pagoda will replenish them?”

This thought filled Lu Qing with delight.

If that were the case, he wouldn’t have to worry about how to divide the Jindan-level blood with Xiao Li.

“I’m not entirely sure yet; I need to test it again,”

Lu Qing thought. With a flash of his body, he entered the plain and stepped into the protective domain of one of the black wolf beasts.

The next moment, the black wolf beast revived, roaring and leaping at Lu Qing.

“Is that all you know?”

Lu Qing smiled faintly. The magnetic field of the earth’s veins unfolded beneath his feet, layer upon layer of magnetic force, infusing the black wolf’s body and instantly slowing it down.

Then, Lu Qing launched his fists, and the roar of a tiger and a dragon resounded, shocking the surroundings.

“Who’s breaking into the tower?”

Such a commotion naturally alerted the many powerful warriors lurking in the dense forest.

However, when they tried to investigate, they saw that the battle on the plain had ended. A figure had scurried into the dense forest, its presence completely fading, and could no longer be detected.

They hadn’t even been able to see the figure clearly before they had completely lost track of the other person.

Looking again at the plain, of the eighteen strange beasts, one, a black wolf, was missing.

“Another black wolf is missing. Could it have been killed again?”

“Could it be the man who came with the Qiankun Sect yesterday?”

“It’s probably him. Wasn’t that tiger roar and dragon roar just now the manifestation of the fist technique he used when battling the beasts yesterday?”

“Does this man have a grudge against these black wolves? Why is he picking on them?”

“Could it be that there’s some hidden secret within these beasts?”

“This man is continuously killing these guardian beasts. Isn’t he afraid of angering the terrifying beasts in the innermost area and taking action himself?”

…

Although the warriors in the dense forest couldn’t see Lu Qing clearly,

through a series of clues, they quickly determined that the young man who had come with the Qiankun Sect yesterday had caused the black wolf beasts to disappear.

What puzzled them was Lu Qing’s reason for continuously killing the black wolves.

Could it be that he wanted to defeat the beasts on the plains one by one before entering the ancient pagoda?

Or was there some secret hidden within these guardian beasts?

For a moment, the strong men in the dense forest were in a state of confusion, and many speculations arose.

Lu Qing naturally had no time to pay attention to these.

At that moment, he was lurking atop a large tree at the edge of the dense forest, restraining his presence and gazing towards the plain.

With his perfected Jindan’s invisible and formless power, he could conceal his presence, naturally undetectable.

Lu Qing stared intently at the plain. After he slew the black wolf, two others nearby also grew restless.

However, before they could reach him, Lu Qing had already slipped away.

So, they could only snarl at the edge of the plain before returning to their original positions.

As everything returned to calm, Lu Qing’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

He saw the ancient pagoda in the center of the plain ahead suddenly radiate a beam of light, which fell across the plain.

When the light faded, a nearly identical black wolf reappeared where Lu Qing had fought, replacing the black wolf he had slain earlier.

“Sure enough, the ancient pagoda replenishes the lost beasts, maintaining their number at eighteen!”

Seeing this, Lu Qing was filled with delight.

This way, he could hunt these Jindan-level beasts to his heart’s content, extracting the witch’s essence blood within to fuel his own transformation.

Even Xiao Li’s share wouldn’t be missing.

“Ah Qing, these beasts can be replenished, so doesn’t that mean…”

At this moment, Xiao Li excitedly telegraphed to Lu Qing.

“Well, we’ll soon have a good supply of Jindan-level bloodlines.”

With that, Lu Qing leaped from the tree and dashed back toward the plains. They

soon reached the area guarded by the black wolf beasts.

However, this time, while Lu Qing revived the black wolf beasts in his own area, he also swung his hand and released two blasts of sword energy, striking two other black wolf beasts in the adjacent area.

Indeed, this time, to increase efficiency, he summoned three black wolf beasts at once.

As three roars echoed, the numerous powerful warriors in the dense forest, who had previously withdrawn their spiritual senses, were once again startled.

“What’s going on? Another person is trying to break into the tower?”

“What day is it today? Why are so many people trying to break into the tower?”

“No, it’s that young man again!”

When the many powerful warriors in the dense forest took in the scene on the plain, they were all stunned.

They saw that the one battling the strange beasts was the same young man who had killed a black wolf yesterday.

This confirmed that he was the one who had caused the strange beasts to riot.

“What is this person trying to do? Could there really be some secret hidden within these guardian beasts?”

Lu Qing watched as he used some invisible force to restrain the three black wolves, then, with a single, clean blow, crushed their heads, killing them one by one.

He then collected their bodies, even the blood, before disappearing back into the dense forest.

Even the most obtuse warriors in the dense forest sensed something unusual.

These guardian beasts must hold some secret they hadn’t discovered.

Otherwise, this young man wouldn’t have carried out such a relentless hunt, not only collecting the corpses but also leaving no trace of their blood. For

a moment, many powerful warriors were seized with anxiety.

Some of the more formidable were already considering hunting down one or two of these guardian beasts for study.

Lu Qing, lurking in a tree in the dense forest, saw the ancient pagoda release three more black wolf beasts. Just as he was about to take action

, he was shocked to discover someone had gotten there first.

Several powerful figures appeared on the plain, attacking each of the three newly emerged black wolves.

“Sure enough, my successive killings of guardian beasts have aroused the suspicion of the other warriors,”

Lu Qing was stunned, then immediately understood what was going on.

His continuous killing of black wolf beasts was indeed quite extraordinary.

Those who could lurk in the dense forest were almost all exceptional individuals, each one extremely shrewd.

Now, they were probably beginning to suspect his purpose in hunting these beasts.

“It seems this is all I have to do today,”

Lu Qing sighed helplessly.

Although he knew his repeated killings of guardian beasts would undoubtedly draw attention, he

hadn’t anticipated the speed of these powerful individuals.

Unwilling to engage with other forces just yet, he immediately decided to retreat. He quietly descended from the tree, restrained his presence, and swiftly navigated the dense forest.

Relying on his superior spiritual perception and Xiao Li’s uncanny sensory abilities,

Lu Qing dodged all the powerful individuals lurking in the dense forest, quietly returning to the valley without alerting anyone.

Although the valley’s protective formation had been set up by the Qiankun Sect, Lu Qing had also been instructed in the introductory techniques, eliminating the need for assistance in activating it.

“Where are you going?”

Upon entering the valley, Lu Qing saw Qin Zheng and other Qiankun Sect disciples gathering, seemingly preparing to leave.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, you’re back?” Qin Zheng and the others

were delighted to see Lu Qing return.

“Fellow Daoist Qin and the others were just about to depart to meet you,” Taoist Wubao said from the side.

Qin Zheng and his companions had just heard the faint roar of an alien beast coming from the ancient pagoda. Worried, they decided to go out and rescue Lu Qing.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, Lu Qing had already returned.

“I see. Thank you all very much, but I’m quite skilled at escaping. Most people can’t stop me,”

Lu Qing immediately thanked them.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, from the roars just now, it seems there’s more than one beast. What happened over there in the ancient pagoda?” Qin Zheng asked.

More importantly, even now, they could hear the noise coming from the ancient pagoda.

“There are other powerful beings fighting with the guardian beasts. I didn’t want to get entangled with them, so I returned first.”

“So that’s how it is.” Qin Zheng suddenly realized.

He said that if it were Lu Qing, he wouldn’t be so careless and fall into the siege of the beasts.

“Everyone, I need to retreat for a while and need to borrow the wooden house again.”

After explaining, Lu Qing said again.
