I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 664

Chapter 664: Searching the City and Infiltrating, Obtaining the Complete Formation

“What did you say, Old Seven is dead?”

“Qilang’s soul lamp is indeed extinguished.”

“How dare anyone be so audacious!”

“Come out of seclusion, come out immediately!”

“We must capture him and use his soul to offer sacrifice to Old Seven!”

Upon hearing the black-robed elder’s words, the powerful beings immediately began to sense the situation. Discovering that Gongshu Lian’s soul lamp had indeed gone out, they were instantly enraged.

Old Seven, unable to achieve a breakthrough, had a limited lifespan. His vitality and spirit were weakening year by year. To maintain his cultivation, he had even managed to separate his spirit from his soul.

With his soul lamp extinguished, he was truly dead, with no chance of resurrection.

The rage of the powerful souls of the Gongshu family could be imagined.

Immediately, powerful auras revived from the inner city, rising towards the outer city.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the other powerful figures of Zhoutian City,

especially those within the outer city, those affiliated with the Gongshu family.

“What happened? Why have all the ancestors revived and come out of seclusion?”

“Someone is assassinating the master’s powerful Yuanshen. Who is it?”

“The entire city defense formation is activated. Haven’t they caught the assassin yet?”

“Hurry out! If you can help the ancestors catch the assassin, it will be a great achievement!”

Suddenly, many Yuanshen realm masters in the outer city also took action, wanting to help the ancestors capture the assassin.

As for the Jindan realm masters, they didn’t dare to do so.

They had heard clearly earlier that the assassin had assassinated a Yuanshen ancestor of the Gongshu family. Facing such a terrifying existence, going forward for the Jindan realm would be tantamount to committing suicide.

While the credit is good, you have to survive to claim it.

“Fourth brother, we’re almost there. Have you caught that little thief?”

As the Gongshu family’s headquarters, Zhoutian City is extremely vast. Even a powerful Yuanshen master cannot cross it in a short time.

Otherwise, Lu Qing would not have spent nearly half a year to fully understand the formations here, despite his supernatural powers.

From the moment Lu Qing slew Gongshu Lian and fled, to the moment the black-robed elder appeared and awakened the inner city’s numerous ancestors, only twenty or thirty breaths had passed.

It had been less than ten breaths since the Gongshu ancestors had revived, hardly enough time for them to arrive so quickly.

“That guy was very cunning, constantly using buildings to block my view, but I’ve already locked onto his presence. He can’t escape… How could it be possible!”

the black-robed elder replied confidently as he soared above Zhoutian City.

He could have been even faster, catching up to the assassin, but the thought of him being able to kill Old Seven in an instant filled him with trepidation.

So, he decided to wait for reinforcements to arrive and capture him together.

But before he could finish his reply, his eyes suddenly widened and he let out a cry of surprise.

His body suddenly accelerated, reaching an area ahead, his soul power enveloping everything.

However, no matter how he searched, he could no longer detect the faint presence he had just seen.

“Fourth Brother, what’s wrong? Where’s the assassin?”

At this moment, more than a dozen figures suddenly descended, approaching the black-robed elder.

“How strange! I clearly had locked onto the assassin’s aura just now, but just now, his aura suddenly vanished and I can no longer sense it,”

the black-robed elder said with a grim expression.

“Disappeared. Could he have escaped the city?” a figure asked.

“Impossible! I already activated the city defense formation. Without permission, there’s no way anyone could escape! Besides, I didn’t sense any fluctuations in the formation,”

the black-robed figure said sternly.

“That means he’s still in the city, perhaps concealing his presence with a magical weapon.”

Another old man with white hair and a youthful face said coldly, “Do you think you can escape just because you have a magical weapon to conceal your presence?

Fourth brother, pass on the assassin’s presence you just sensed to us.

Eldest brother and second brother, you and I will activate the formation and search the entire outer city. Even if he’s using a spiritual weapon to conceal his presence, he won’t be able to escape the Zhoutian Star Formation!”

“Yes, Father!”

The other two figures with extremely powerful auras responded in unison.

The black-robed old man first simulated an aura based on what he had sensed earlier and transmitted it to his father and eldest and second brothers.

Then, quickly, under the guidance of the white-haired old man with a youthful face, the three great Yuanshen masters cast a series of magic spells that descended on the ground below.

The next moment, the entire outer city’s formation suddenly activated.

The powerful formation force, ignoring all obstacles, began to search the entire outer city inch by inch.

The first place they searched was the location where the black-robed old man had sensed the assassin’s presence.

To their surprise, they found nothing there.

However, they were not discouraged and continued to search other locations.

The powerful figures from the large and small forces in the outer city naturally felt the terrifying fluctuations of the formation.

But they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. They even stayed where they were cautiously, allowing the fluctuations of the formation to sweep over them, not daring to resist at all.

Because they knew that it was the ancestors of the Gongshu family who were searching for the assassin.

If they were not careful and the ancestors thought they had something to do with the assassin, they would be speechless and in great trouble.

“Did they really use the Zhoutian Star Formation?”

Just as the ancestors of the Gongshu family activated the formation to search.

In a hidden corner more than ten miles away from them, Lu Qing’s figure slowly emerged.

He could sense that the outer city portion of the Zhoutian Star Formation had already begun to activate.

“You want to use the Zhoutian Star Formation to locate me?”

Lu Qing smiled faintly, his aura ethereal, having already merged with the entire formation.

Even if the formation’s power swept across his body, there would be no reaction, simply treating him as part of the formation.

Lu Qing’s understanding of the outer city formation now surpassed even those of the Gongshu Clan’s ancestors.

Furthermore, his Perfect Golden Core was formless and could transform into any aura at any moment.

How could they possibly find him?

“But this does present an opportunity.”

After calmly glancing at the dozen or so powerful figures in the sky, Lu Qing turned his gaze towards the inner city.

His high-profile execution of Gongshu Lian in the street was intended to attract the attention of the powerful Gongshu Clan spirits within the inner city.

Otherwise, he could simply wait for Gongshu Lian to enter Mengyun Tower for some pleasure and then assassinate him quietly.

With his current strength, it was still possible to achieve this.

Now, because he had deliberately made the matter worse, the ancestors of the Gongshu family were indeed furious and rushed out in unison.

Even if there were still masters in the inner city at the moment, they must be few, and it was the most empty time.

Lu Qing’s figure moved silently.

Zhoutian City was full of buildings, so it was not difficult to hide from the sight of the ancestors of the Gongshu family.

What’s more, he had already used the secret invisibility method to distort the light around him and hide his figure.

As for the soul sensing, Lu Qing, who had completely integrated his own aura into the Zhoutian Star Array, could not be sensed.

Just like that, Lu Qing turned into a shadow and moved quickly in the city. Before long, he had arrived at the location of the inner city.

However, this place was quite far away from the location of the more than ten ancestors of the Gongshu family.

Gazing at the towering inner city walls and the powerfully radiating light curtain of the formation, Lu Qing didn’t hesitate, transforming into a transparent shadow and flying forward.

When his body touched the curtain, it was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, silently passing through without causing any ripples, entering the inner city.

Over the past month, Lu Qing had mastered the protective formations on the city walls through constant downloading, copying, and contemplation.

Entering was a piece of cake.

Once inside, the scene was completely different from the outer city.

There were no bustling buildings, but rather graceful peaks brimming with spiritual energy, nourished by flowing clouds and waterfalls, and surrounded by flying cranes.

Atop each peak, countless elegant buildings evoked a mystical celestial realm.

From the air, these peaks were even more visible.

These graceful peaks, like stars in the sky, were arranged in a mysterious formation.

Indeed, Lu Qing had done the same.

He concealed his form, silently hiding within a floating cloud. He activated his supernatural powers and observed the distribution of the mountains below.

With his mastery of formations, he easily discerned that the distribution of the spiritual peaks within the inner city followed the positions of the celestial stars.

He had already downloaded and replicated 70% of the formations throughout Zhoutian City, comprehending and mastering them.

The most crucial 30% was likely contained within these mountain and river formations.

After activating his supernatural powers and gazing at the formations below for a moment, Lu Qing felt a surge of joy when he saw the message that appeared in his field of vision.

Without hesitation, he immediately chose to download.

[…Download completed. Do you want to start the simulation?]

Seeing the message from his supernatural powers, Lu Qing held off on simulating this time.

Time was limited, and the dozen or so ancestors of the Gongshu family could return at any moment. He had to act quickly.

The formations were already downloaded, and simulating them later would be just as effective.

So, after assessing the terrain, Lu Qing descended, heading in one direction.

Over the past six months, Lu Qing hadn’t merely been comprehending the formation; he had already figured out Qiao Rong’s location.

The Outer City’s population was considerable.

Besides the various factions affiliated with the Gongshu Clan, many were actually members of the Gongshu Clan’s collateral branches.

Lu Qing’s weapon shop had given him access to some of the Gongshu Clan’s collateral disciples.

With his strength, coupled with his [Psychedelic] ability,

it wouldn’t be difficult for him to learn about the inner city from these people,

including Qiao Rong’s residence.

“Xiaoyou Peak. It’s said that after Qiao Rong went mad and publicly offered a bounty on Nangong Yuanwu, severely injuring him, a conflict erupted between the Gongshu and Nangong families, nearly leading to war.

Finally, thanks to mediation by the Holy Alliance, the two families reluctantly reconciled.

But Qiao Rong was still punished. Even though she was the legitimate wife of the second wife, she was banished to Xiaoyou Peak to recuperate, forbidden from leaving the mountain without permission.”

Lu Qing’s mind flashed through the information he had gathered. Like a ghost, he moved swiftly through the inner city, steadily approaching Xiaoyou Peak.

Soon, he arrived before a spiritual peak emanating an icy aura. He gazed at the three large black characters engraved on the mountain wall, a smile on his face. Coincidentally

, a young woman resembling a maid approached from a distance, seemingly heading up Xiaoyou Peak.

Lu Qing’s expression shifted slightly, and a wave of his spiritual energy settled into the acupoint between the girl’s eyebrows.

Just then, Lu Qing used illusion to extract information from the maid’s mind.

In a house on Xiaoyou Mountain, a beautiful middle-aged woman in elegant attire asked nervously, “Have you investigated? What exactly happened? Why did all the ancestors suddenly come out of seclusion?”

The sudden resurrection of over a dozen ancestors—this was unprecedented in thousands of years.

What serious incident had occurred? Could it be a demonic attack?

“Madam, I just went to the ancestral hall to investigate. I heard that the soul lamp of the seventh ancestor of the third branch suddenly went out.

Then, the fourth ancestor flew into a rage, shouting, ‘You dared to assassinate my Gongshu family’s soul!’ He then rushed to the outer city.

Immediately afterwards, all the other ancestors also emerged from seclusion and rushed out of the outer city together,”

an elderly man who resembled a housekeeper replied respectfully, his face still etched with shock.

He seemed still reeling from the information he had gathered.

“The seventh ancestor was assassinated in the outer city. Have you investigated and confirmed it?”

The beautiful middle-aged woman jumped to her feet upon hearing this.

She had naturally heard the Fourth Patriarch’s words that shook the entire city, but she had never imagined that the one being assassinated was actually the direct descendant of their Gongshu family.

“Why would the Seventh Patriarch appear in the outer city? Yes, this old man loves women. Every six months, he goes to those brothels in the outer city to have fun. Today happens to be the day he goes out.”

The middle-aged beautiful woman couldn’t believe it at first, but then she figured out the reason.

Then the next moment, her face changed. She was no longer nervous, but instead showed a look of pleasure.

“No wonder the old guys have all revived. They protected that old man the most. Now that he’s dead, they’ll be desperate!

But, he died a good death. This old man should have died a long time ago!”

The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled, as if she was very happy about Gongshu Lian’s death.

Instead, the housekeeper’s expression changed drastically when he heard it, and he hurriedly said: “Madam, be careful with your words, if the ancestors hear it, it will be a disaster!”

“What are you afraid of? Anyway, I have been exiled to this damn place, how can it be worse? Can they kill me? When I married into the Gongshu family, that old guy Gongshu Lian drooled at me. Now he is dead, how can I not be happy!”

The middle-aged beautiful woman was not afraid at all, and still said hatefully.

Ever since Yu’er died and she was banished to this small and secluded peak, she has been full of hatred for the Gongshu family, and she wished that the family would be destroyed immediately.

The housekeeper was anxious and helpless, but he didn’t dare to say anything.

“Then have you found out who killed that old guy Gongshu Lian?”

The middle-aged beautiful woman continued to ask. (End of this chapter)
