I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 659

Chapter 659: Ningyuan Sect, killing the leader, and the dark Lu Qing

When Lu Qing emerged from the underground cave, his expression was grim, and the murderous intent still lingered. He

stared at the azure sky overhead, recalling what had just happened.

Just now, while in the underground cave, he couldn’t contain the murderous intent within him, so he activated his magical powers and dragged all the black-hearted thieves into an illusion.

There, he tortured them endlessly until the pain could no longer endure, their minds finally breaking and their spirits disintegrating.

Even then, he couldn’t fully vent the murderous intent within him.

The few women who had survived the cave had committed suicide right before his eyes.

Lu Qing had wanted to rescue them, but the women shook their heads.

It turned out they had recently been abducted by the black-hearted thieves, and when they were abducted, their husbands, children, and families had already been killed.

Even their loved ones were being cooked in that cauldron…

Furthermore, they had already been subjected to countless abuses by the black-hearted bandits, and their weakness made them unable to resist, even suicide a luxury. This was how they managed to survive until now.

Now finally free from their suffering, they knelt and thanked Lu Qing, then picked up their scattered weapons and committed suicide before him.

At that moment, Lu Qing could have stopped them.

But after seeing the determination in the women’s eyes, he ultimately refrained from action. He simply watched them commit suicide, finally smiling with relief as their souls passed into the afterlife.

However, Lu Qing, far from letting go of his resentment, felt his murderous intent grow even stronger.

“Ah Qing…”

Xiao Li leaned on Lu Qing’s shoulder, looking at him with some concern.

It had been a long time since he had seen Lu Qing so murderous.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Lu Qing suppressed his murderous intent and patted Xiao Li’s head, offering comfort.

“Ah Qing, where are we going now? Are we going to complete our next mission?” Xiao Li asked.

“Well, but before that, we have another matter to attend to.”

“Ningyuan Sect…”

Lu Qing recalled the information the burly man had revealed in the illusion, and a hint of murderous intent once again filled his eyes.

The next moment, he transformed into a stream of light, soaring into the air and flying westward.

…

Ningyuan Sect wasn’t considered a powerful sect in the Tianyuan World. Its strongest fighters consisted of a few Grand Elders and the Sect Master, both in the late Jindan realm.

However, in recent years, the Sect Master had been in seclusion frequently, seemingly making significant progress in his cultivation.

There were even rumors that he might be about to reach the Yuanshen realm, which excited the disciples.

If the Sect Master could achieve Yuanshen, their Ningyuan Sect’s foundation would be greatly enhanced, allowing them to conquer even more territory in the future, perhaps even annexing the other two nearby sects.

“The Sect Master has been in seclusion for three years now. Do you think he can reach the Yuanshen realm?”

one of the sect’s disciples, feeling bored, began to discuss.

“The Sect Master is incredibly gifted; he’ll definitely achieve a breakthrough!”

“Indeed, once the Sect Master achieves a breakthrough, even if our Ningyuan Sect possesses a powerful Primordial Spirit, the Suxin Sect and the Fentian Sect will no longer be our rivals. Perhaps our territory will even expand!”

Several Ningyuan Sect disciples were chatting excitedly when one of them glanced up, his eyes suddenly widening.

“Look, someone’s flying over our sect!”

“Who’s so bold as to fly over our Ningyuan Sect?”

“Isn’t he afraid of being struck down by the protective formation?”

“No, it looks like they’re up to no good! Sound the alarm! It could be an enemy!”

The other disciples looked skyward. Seeing Lu Qing, clad in a black cloak and a ghostly mask, they felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts.

Then, the alarm bells rang, and the entire Ningyuan Sect erupted in chaos.

From the sky, Lu Qing watched the Ningyuan Sect disciples quickly assemble below, led by several elders, ready for battle. His expression remained unchanged.

He simply stood quietly in the air, sensing something.

Lu Qing didn’t move, but the chill emanating from him made all the Ningyuan Sect disciples wary of being careless.

Standing at the front, an old man with an extraordinary aura, a late Jindan realm cultivator, suddenly took a step forward.

He spoke loudly to Lu Qing in the sky, “Who are you? What brings you to our Ningyuan Sect?”

“Let Ning Jizi come out!” Lu Qing said coldly.

Hearing Lu Qing’s impolite tone, the old man’s face changed slightly.

The Ningyuan Sect disciples behind him were even more agitated.

This was because Ning Jizi was the name of their sect master.

“Our sect master is in seclusion. I wonder what you want from him?”

The old man said patiently, even though he knew Lu Qing might have bad intentions.

However, Lu Qing didn’t want to waste time talking to him. His vast spiritual sensing ability had already allowed him to discover the purpose of his trip.

Immediately, his eyes flashed coldly: “If you don’t come out, I’ll destroy your lair!”

The next moment, Lu Qing swung his arm, and a stream of sword energy instantly flew out, slashing straight towards a palace within the Ningyuan Sect below.

The sword energy was so fierce that the Ningyuan Sect’s protective formation seemed like paper, unable to resist it at all.

In a mere instant, it was shattered, and then the sword energy penetrated directly into the palace.

Instantly, the ground shook, and the entire palace, including the mountain below, was split open by Lu Qing’s sword, leaving a huge sword mark.

A figure, somewhat discomfited, flew out of a secret chamber beneath the palace and landed before a group of Ningyuan Sect disciples, who gazed at Lu Qing in the sky with awe and disbelief.

“Sect Master!”

All the Ningyuan Sect disciples, initially horrified by the power of Lu Qing’s sword,

were suddenly inspired by the sight of that man.

It was as if the presence of the Sect Master provided them with a backbone.

“Are you Ning Jizi?”

Lu Qing glared at the figure with a cold gaze.

It was a middle-aged man in a purple robe, his aura harmonious and harmonious, having apparently reached the Nineth Transformation of the Golden Core.

Although he had heard the Ningyuan Sect disciples address him, Lu Qing activated his supernatural powers to avoid mistaking him for the wrong person and looked towards him.

“I am Ning Jizi, Sect Master of the Ningyuan Sect. I wonder what you wish for me, as I don’t seem to know you.”

Ning Jizi looked at Lu Qing solemnly, filled with apprehension.

Lu Qing’s previous sword strike had been truly terrifying.

If he hadn’t dodged at the crucial moment, he would have likely suffered a serious injury.

Even now, he felt a chill running through his body, as if sword energy was seeping into him.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing’s vision had already begun to shift.

After reading the notes, his murderous intent intensified.

“Whether you recognize me or not doesn’t matter. Do you know him?”

He pulled a skull from a storage bag and tossed it down.

The skull landed precisely in front of Ning Jizi, rolling several times before its face turned towards him. A look of immense terror etched across its face, as if it had endured unimaginable torture before its death.

Ning Jizi’s expression changed at the sight of the skull.

But before he could say anything, he heard a disciple behind him exclaim, “Senior Brother Duan, is he missing?”

“Senior Brother Duan, didn’t he perish in the Flame Secret Realm thirty years ago?”

The other disciples, upon seeing the skull’s appearance, were equally shocked.

Even the several old men in the late Jindan realm were shocked.

It turned out that the head Lu Qing threw out was actually that of Duan Xin, a true disciple of their Ningyuan Sect who disappeared many years ago.

“It seems that you all know this person,” Lu Qing said coldly.

“Indeed, the face of this head is very similar to that of a true disciple of our Ningyuan Sect who disappeared for no reason many years ago. I wonder how you got this head. Could it be that this useless disciple of mine didn’t die back then, but instead fell into your hands?”

Ning Jizi said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Ningyuan Sect disciples behind him were immediately filled with hostility when they looked at Lu Qing.

This man with a ghost face mask and a strange origin had broken their Ningyuan Sect’s mountain protection formation with his sword upon arrival, and now he had thrown out the head of Brother Duan. It was obvious that he was their Ningyuan Sect’s great enemy.

“You’re pretending quite well. Are you trying to tell me you don’t know that this is the notorious Black Heart Bandits leader in this area, known for their crimes and their specialties in robbing passing merchants?” Lu Qing said calmly.

“What? Senior Brother Duan Xin is the Black Heart Bandits’ leader?”

“That’s impossible!”

“How could Senior Brother Duan Xin be the Black Heart Bandits’ leader?”

“You thief, stop slandering a true disciple of Ningyuan Sect!”

Lu Qing’s words immediately set off an uproar among the Ningyuan Sect disciples, who began to rebuke him.

“Sir, as you can see, this disciple of mine has always had an excellent reputation. Before he disappeared, he was a young hero admired throughout the entire area. There’s no way he could be the Black Heart Bandits leader you’re talking about.”

Ning Jizi was shocked when Lu Qing uttered the word “Black Heart Dao.”

However, after hearing the rebuke from the disciples behind him, he calmed down and addressed Lu Qing sternly.

“Whether you deny it or not is meaningless to me.” Lu Qing shook his head. “That scum confessed everything before he died.

It was you who used evil magic to place a restriction on him, forcing him to pretend he’d disappeared.

In reality, you were secretly transforming into a Blackhearted Bandit, robbing passing merchants and plundering their resources to cultivate your evil methods.

Otherwise, with your aptitude, how could you achieve successive breakthroughs in just a few decades, reaching the realm of the ninth level of Golden Core Perfection and nearly achieving Primordial Spirit Realm?”

The vast majority of Ningyuan Sect disciples remained in disbelief as they listened to Lu Qing’s words.

However, a few, as if remembering something, had their faces slightly changed.

Among them were the elders in the late Golden Core stage.

“Sir, this is slander! What evidence do you have to claim that I instructed Duan Xin to transform into the Blackhearted Bandit? Furthermore, whether this head belongs to my disciple is still a matter of debate. You’re going to such lengths to tarnish the reputation of our Ningyuan Sect. Do you really think we have no temper?”

At this moment, Ning Jizi shouted.

A powerful aura rose from him.

He knew he couldn’t let the masked man before him continue.

Otherwise, the already suspicious members of the sect would likely become even more suspicious.

“I’ve told you, whether you deny it or not, it makes no difference to me. I’m telling you all this so you can die knowing full well, lest you end up in the netherworld, wondering who’s seeking your life.”

Lu Qing finished, and with his fingers, he transformed them into swords, gently slashing downwards a few times.

Ning Jizi’s heart suddenly felt cold, but before he could move, he felt a chill in his hands and feet.

The next moment, he could no longer feel them.

Startled, Ning Jizi turned his head and looked, only to find, to his horror, that his hands and feet were slowly falling.

Unbeknownst to him, they had been severed by Lu Qing’s sword energy.

Then, he felt his body tighten as an incredibly powerful, invisible force completely enclosed and bound him, rapidly pulling him upwards.

No matter how he unleashed his magical elixir, he couldn’t break free from the terrifying restraints.

“Let go of our leader!”

Lu Qing’s furious sword energy was so swift that even Ning Jizi, a ninth-stage Jindan cultivator, didn’t react, let alone the others.

But when he used his primordial magnetic force to seize Ning Jizi, the other Ningyuan Sect disciples, though shocked by the terrifying power of Lu Qing’s sword energy, eventually reacted.

Led by the elders in the late Jindan realm, they all attacked Lu Qing.

“Suppress.”

However, just as their magical weapons were activated, Lu Qing uttered a single word.

Everyone was horrified to find that an indescribably powerful suppressing force had descended upon them.

Not only were their magical weapons completely suppressed in mid-air, but their bodies were also completely suppressed, unable to move.

“Since you’re unaware, I’ll only behead the ringleader this time. If you dare resist again, I’ll annihilate your entire Ningyuan Sect!”

Lu Qing’s cold voice resounded, sending shockwaves through the hearts of all Ningyuan Sect disciples. They watched helplessly as Ning Jizi, his limbs severely severed, was grabbed and brought before him.

“Senior, the matter of the Blackhearted Bandits truly has nothing to do with me. I beg you to understand and not be deceived by

these villains.” Ning Jizi was fully aware that the masked man before him was beyond his wildest dreams.

Terrified, he desperately begged for mercy.

“Do you know what those Blackhearted Bandits typically do with the merchants after they’ve robbed them?”

Lu Qing’s words startled Ning Jizi.

“Don’t you know? It doesn’t matter. I’ll let you feel the pain they’ve endured. Don’t worry, killing you directly would be too easy for you. I won’t kill you so easily. I’ll let you feel a thousand times the pain those eaten children endured before they died.”

Listening to Lu Qing’s slow words, the fear in Ning Jizi’s eyes grew stronger.

He wanted to continue begging for mercy, but it was too late.

Endless illusions had already attacked him. Before he completely sank, all he could see was the strange ghost mask on Lu Qing’s face, which became more and more distorted, as if it was about to come alive.

The next moment, a shrill scream rang out from the sky. (End of this chapter)
