I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 621

Chapter 621: One Year, Secret Realm Shock

Swish!

Somewhere in a valley, Ye Qingzhu, sword in hand, decapitated a Jindan-level beast.

As the Jindan-level beast’s life force slowly dissipated, Ye Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, sweat slowly forming on her forehead.

“Senior Sister Ye, we did it!”

Chu Xiaojing and the other Qiankun Sect disciples gathered around, their faces filled with delight.

They had been holding the beast back, constantly draining its resources.

This had given Ye Qingzhu the opportunity to strike a decisive blow, decapitating the Jindan-level beast.

“Well done! Your strength has improved significantly since you first entered the secret realm.”

Qin Zheng approached, a smile on his face.

He hadn’t taken any action earlier, merely holding the line.

Seeing his fellow disciples, even without his help, manage to surround and slay a Jindan-level beast, was a source of relief.

If it had been when they first entered the secret realm, without his protection, the brothers and sisters would have been no match for this Jindan-level beast.

How could they have surrounded and killed it like they did now?

This showed that after this period of training in the secret realm, the brothers and sisters’ strength had greatly improved.

“Thanks to the opportunity that Fellow Daoist Chen told us about, our strength has increased significantly,” Zixiao couldn’t help but sigh.

The others agreed.

Ever since Lu Qing told them about the opportunity, they had been in the secret realm, hunting beasts and refining their bloodlines.

Now, each of them had absorbed the bloodlines of Foundation Establishment-level beasts to their full potential.

Their bodies had all been greatly strengthened, and their strength had increased significantly.

Therefore, everyone was deeply grateful to Lu Qing.

After all, this opportunity had been of great help to them all, giving them more confidence to survive in this secret realm.

“It’s been almost a year, and I don’t know what’s happened to Brother Chen. Those people say he climbed some bone mountain and disappeared. Where did he go?”

Chu Xiaojing suddenly said worriedly when talking about Lu Qing.

Everyone fell silent when they heard this.

It has been almost a year since they entered the secret realm.

The powerful people who had ventured into the ancient tower had long since withdrawn.

Qin Zheng and his friends also learned what happened in the ancient tower space that day from some of the powerful people who had good relations with their Qiankun Sect. They

knew that Lu Qing had climbed a mysterious bone mountain that day and had disappeared.

Some said that Lu Qing must have passed the test of the ancient tower and gained a great opportunity.

Others said that he could not withstand the danger of the mysterious bone mountain and died.

In short, there are many different opinions, all kinds of stories.

But the only certainty is that Lu Qing did disappear after that.

Until now, almost a year has passed, and he has not appeared again.

“Don’t worry too much. Fellow Daoist Chen’s strength is unfathomable. What we’ve seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg. With his power, even this secret realm wouldn’t be able to stop him.”

Qin Zheng, noticing the worry on his fellow disciples’ faces, offered reassurances.

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Chen must have passed the test. Perhaps he’s currently experiencing the opportunities within the ancient pagoda,” Zixiao chimed in.

“That’s for sure. Brother Chen is so formidable, how could he be so easily defeated by a mere mountain of bones?”

Chu Xiaojing clenched her fists, as if to encourage herself.

“It seems you all have great faith in that kid named Chen, unwilling to believe he’s perished on that mountain of bones.”

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the valley, causing the faces of the Qiankun Sect disciples to change.

Then, a group of people entered the valley.

“Gongshu Yu! What are you doing here again?”

Chu Xiaojing shouted upon recognizing the newcomers.

Ever since the deaths of Senior Brother Zhao Gang and the others, she had never been kind to the Gongshu family.

Indeed, the group that entered were none other than Gongshu Yu and the rest of the Gongshu family.

“Xiao Jing,” Qin Zheng stopped Chu Xiaojing and looked at Gongshu Yu and the others. “It’s been a long time since we last met. I wonder what brings you here again, Master Yu?”

“It’s indeed been a long time since we last met. It’s been almost a year since we last met. Brother Qin Zheng seems to have been avoiding us. After all, we were allies once. Brother Qin Zheng’s actions are truly disheartening to me.”

Gongshu Yu, holding a jade fan, smiled elegantly.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Qiankun Sect disciples changed.

A few of the more straightforward ones even wanted to yell at the other party for being shameless.

However, Qin Zheng waved his hand, quelling his impulsiveness.

Without changing his expression, he said: “Young Master Yu, you are joking. This secret realm is too dangerous. Qin’s strength is limited. In order to protect my fellow junior brothers and sisters, I have no choice but to go to this remote place. How can I say I am hiding?”

But Gongshu Yu’s next sentence made him pause slightly.

“Is that so? Then why have I recently heard that Brother Qin Zheng and the others seem to be searching for and hunting exotic beasts?”

Seeing Qin Zheng’s expression change, Gongshu Yu smiled, knowing he was right.

“It seems my guess was correct. That person back then told you the secret of the exotic beasts.”

“Young Master Yu, you’re joking. I don’t understand what you’re talking about,”

Qin Zheng said calmly, his expression returning to composure.

But he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

After learning the secret of the exotic beasts’ bloodlines from Lu Qing that day, he led his fellow apprentices in secretly hunting exotic beasts in the dense forest and refining their bloodlines.

After refining the bloodlines, they discovered that the effects were indeed as Lu Qing had predicted: they could significantly strengthen their bodies, and they were immediately delighted.

Some time later, the powerful warriors who had entered the tower returned, and Qin Zheng learned of the events within the tower.

He immediately decided to lead his fellow apprentices, along with the Five Treasures Taoist priests, out of the dense forest and seek refuge in a remote area of the secret realm.

The goal, naturally, was to avoid the eyes and ears of other factions and quietly seize this opportunity.

However, it now appeared that despite their carefulness, they had still attracted the attention of others.

He hadn’t expected that the first to approach him would be someone from the Gongshu clan.

“Brother Qin, there’s no need to deny it so quickly. The man’s frenzied hunting of exotic beasts that day was witnessed by countless powerful individuals, and he’s closely associated with you. Presumably, he’d already shared the secret of the exotic beasts with you before entering the ancient pagoda, right?”

Gongshu Yu asked, his tone firm.

Clearly, he had already concluded that Qin Zheng and the others knew the secret of the exotic beasts.

“What if I, Qin, truly don’t know?” Qin Zheng said calmly.

“Then Brother Qin Zheng, you’re truly disheartening. We’re allies, yet you’re trying to seize this opportunity for yourself—that’s simply unacceptable.”

Seeing Qin Zheng’s reluctance, Gongshu Yu’s smile faded.

The clansmen behind him suddenly radiated a chilling murderous intent.

“Master Yu, what do you mean?”

Qin Zheng’s expression turned cold upon seeing this.

Without waiting for his orders, Ye Qingzhu and the others behind him had already formed a battle formation, staring intently at Gongshu Yu and the others.

“Qin Zheng, why bother? After all this time, the secret of the strange beast must have benefited you greatly. Even if you reveal it now, there’s no loss to you. Why would you risk the lives of your fellow apprentices for this?”

Gongshu Yu remained calm in the face of the battle formed by Ye Qingzhu and the others.

“If anyone else came to ask, Qin would have told them, but the death of my fellow apprentice Zhao Gang and the others that day is still fresh in my mind. Gongshu Yu, do you think I can still reveal this secret to you?”

At this moment, Qin Zheng dropped his politeness and finally addressed Gongshu Yu by name.

“So, is there really nothing more to discuss?”

Gongshu Yu retracted the jade fan in his hand.

“If you want a fight, then let’s fight.” Qin Zheng’s aura gradually emanated. “I, Qin, would also like to experience the Gongshu family’s unique skills.”

Seeing that Qin Zheng was actually determined to fight them, Gongshu Yu’s face froze.

He hadn’t expected Qin Zheng, who always prioritized the safety of his fellow apprentices, to suddenly become so tough.   This

made him wary. He

wasn’t sure if the other party was truly determined to fight to the death or if he had other options to rely on.

For a moment, he became hesitant. Just as Gongshu Yu’s expression shifted   , the earth   suddenly shook. Everyone felt weak beneath their feet.   Then, the entire world began to tremble.   ”What’s going on!”   ”What happened?”   ”Is this an ambush set by the Qiankun Sect?”   Just as everyone panicked, they suddenly looked up, as if sensing something.   Their mouths dropped open.   Above the sky, a spatial vortex slowly emerged.   At the same time, a message appeared in everyone’s mind.   Suddenly, they understood what was happening.   This secret realm was about to close.   (End of this chapter)
