I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 668

Chapter 668 Gongshujia’s uneasiness and huge gains!

“A spatial treasure of the highest grade spiritual weapon level…”

The old man with white hair and a youthful face stood in mid-air, sensing the gradually dissipating spatial fluctuations.

His expression was grim, yet he was also filled with immense shock.

The power of the silver flying boat that had just deflected his spatial hand was undoubtedly that of a highest grade spiritual weapon.

Even he didn’t possess a single such weapon.

The Gongshu family’s only such weapon had been taken away by their ancestor, who was now wandering in other great worlds.

He, the current clan leader, was unworthy of wielding it.

And during this period of spatial pursuit, he had truly confirmed

that the thief wearing the ghostly mask was truly a mere Jindan realm

cultivator. He hadn’t sensed a single ray of Yuanshen realm power from him throughout.

A mere Jindan realm cultivator possessed the power to kill Yuanshen realm cultivators, and even possessed a highest grade spatial spiritual weapon!

Such absurdity simply left the old man with white hair and a youthful face in disbelief.

“Could this be the same evil demon who murdered Zheng’er all those years ago? No, his aura is different!”

The old man with white hair and a youthful face couldn’t help but think of someone.

During the catastrophe at Tianshu Divine Mountain, a demon, while at the Jindan realm, slew several Yuanshen realm cultivators.

Even Gongshu Zheng, the youngest and most promising member of the Gongshu clan, was tragically killed by that demon.

This led to major factions offering exorbitant bounties for the demon’s head.

Could it be that this time, the demon was seeking revenge?

However, according to those Yuanshen realm cultivators back then, the demon’s physical body was incredibly powerful, far surpassing that of an average Yuanshen realm cultivator.

This time, however, the mysterious assassin seemed like a pure swordsman, possessing astonishing sword energy and possessing a variety of unpredictable techniques, making them impossible to defend against.

The difference between the two was so vast that even their auras were completely different.

Their only commonality was that both possessed mysterious spatial artifacts, enabling them to teleport through space with the power of Jindan realm cultivation.

More importantly, the sword energy the thief had just unleashed was remarkably similar to the secret sword energy of the legendary sword sanctuary.

“First, there’s the demon with an incredibly powerful physical body, and now a sword cultivator suspected to be from the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect has appeared. Both can slay spirits with their Jindan-level bodies, and both possess powerful spatial artifacts. Could they possibly be from the same mysterious faction?”

The old man with white hair and a youthful face pondered, a wave of worry building within him.

He vaguely sensed a catastrophic change about to occur.

Furthermore, this time, the assassin had brazenly carried out assassinations in Zhoutian City, slaying several powerful spirits before finally making his escape.

This was a devastating blow to the Gongshu clan, potentially even affecting the next ranking of the Thirty-Six Supreme Clans.

These various developments gave him a suffocating feeling, a sense of impending storm.

After a moment of silence high in the sky, the old man sighed, and finally, with a surge of spatial energy, his figure suddenly vanished.

After more than ten teleportations, he returned to Zhoutian City.

“Father, how’s everything going? Where’s that thief?”

Seeing him appear, the Second Branch Patriarch and other ancestors of the Gongshu Clan hurriedly asked.

The other powerful Yuanshen masters also looked over.

“We’ll talk about it when we get back,”

the old man with white hair and youthful features didn’t immediately reply, instead flying directly back to the inner city.

The other Gongshu Clan ancestors exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.

However, they didn’t ask further questions and followed the old man back to the inner city.

Soon, a light curtain rose, and the Zhoutian Star Formation reactivated, enveloping Zhoutian City.

However, this time, many Yuanshen realm masters sensed that the suppressive force within the city seemed to have weakened.

Recalling the mysterious assassin who had escaped earlier and the Gongshu Clan head who had returned empty-handed, the Yuanshen realm masters in the outer city were filled with speculation.

“The assassin escaped, and I couldn’t catch up,”

the old man with white hair and youthful features stated bluntly after reactivating the Zhoutian Star Formation.

“Father, how could this be…”

Though they had already sensed something, the Gongshu clan elders couldn’t help but be astonished when they heard the white-haired, youthful-looking old man’s actual words

. After all, they knew their father’s strength well.

A dignified Five Tribulations Soul, he had comprehended the Dao of Space and mastered the Art of Spatial Relocation.

Such strength was considered extremely powerful even among Five Tribulations Souls.

And yet, he had let the assassin escape. What had happened?

“The thief possessed a top-grade spiritual artifact, a spatial magic weapon. He deliberately lured me away, and when no one could interfere, he activated the artifact to break through space and escape.

Although I comprehended the power of space, the range of my Spatial Relocation technique was limited, and I couldn’t pursue him.”

The white-haired, youthful-looking old man confessed everything without holding back.

A top-grade spiritual artifact, and a spatial magic weapon at that!

Upon hearing this, the Gongshu clan elders were stunned, but they finally understood why their father hadn’t been able to capture the assassin.

A top-grade spiritual artifact’s spatial teleportation capability must be incredibly vast, even potentially breaking the boundary membrane of the Tianyuan World.

It was only natural that my father couldn’t continue tracking.

However, failing to capture the assassin would likely deal a significant blow to the reputation of the Gongshu family.

With this thought, the ancestors of the Gongshu clan could already foresee the turmoil that would ripple through the outside world once word of what had happened in Zhoutian City spread.

They feared that all sorts of rumors unfavorable to their Gongshu clan would circulate.

“I know what you’re thinking, but that’s secondary. I have something more important to tell you now. Please listen carefully.”

The old man with white hair and a youthful face surveyed the crowd’s faces, knowing their thoughts.

He spoke gravely, recalling the suffocating feeling he had sensed.

Seeing his father’s solemnity, the other ancestors of the Gongshu clan felt a chill in their hearts, their expressions also turning serious.

No one knew what the ancestors of the Gongshu clan had finally discussed, but on that day, security in Zhoutian City tightened.

No one could enter or leave freely anymore; everyone entering and leaving required identification, or they would be treated as demons.

Meanwhile, on a relatively secluded street, the owner of an elixir shop was surprised to discover that the weapon refinery shop across the street had never opened again.

…

In the sky somewhere thousands of miles away from Zhoutian City, across countless continents.

A space vortex suddenly appeared, and then a silver flying boat emerged from it.

Lu Qing flew out of the flying boat, and after quickly putting away the Void Flying Boat, he activated the teleportation jade talisman several times again, and then found a mountain forest, flew down to find a cave, and concealed his aura.

After a long time, when he saw that there was no movement outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was naturally not worried that the old ghost of the Gongshu family would catch up.

With the power of the Void Flying Boat, a top-grade spiritual weapon, and the distance of the jump, even a powerful being with the fifth tribulation of the Yuanshen would not be able to catch up.

He was worried that the fluctuations of the Void Flying Boat would attract the attention of some powerful beings here.

Although the probability was small, he still cautiously chose the safer option.

Now that there was no movement outside, he knew he wasn’t that unlucky, and finally he could finally relax.

“This time was truly embarrassing.”

After confirming he was truly safe, Lu Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

Perhaps to the Gongshu Clan, his infiltration into Zhoutian City, assassination of Gongshu Lian, slaying of several Soul Realm cultivators, toying with the Gongshu Clan ancestors, and even escaping from the clutches of a Five Tribulations Soul Realm master—all

seemed like sheer cunning and deceit.

But only Lu Qing knew that every step he took was incredibly risky, and the slightest misstep would have meant discovery. It

was only because he possessed the powerful trump card of the Secret Realm Stone Tablet that he dared to take such a risk.

Otherwise, even with the courage, he wouldn’t have dared to carry out such a high-profile assassination under the noses of Soul Realms far superior to his own.

Fortunately, despite the risk, the reward was immense.

Lu Qing’s mind scanned the Lihuo Cauldron and the Qiankun Qi Bag, his spirits rising.

He first scattered dozens of jade talismans, setting up a concealing formation, before releasing Xiao Li.

“Ah, Ah Qing, I, I saw a lot of spirit stones in the Lihuo Cauldron!”

Xiao Li, upon emerging, immediately rushed to Lu Qing, stuttering.

“I got them from one of the Gongshu family’s treasuries. Not only the Lihuo Cauldron, but also the Qiankun Qi Bag, has quite a few spirit stones,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

Previously, in order to quickly empty the treasury of the Gongshu family’s second branch, Lu Qing had activated his two great spiritual instruments to collect them.

Now, both the Lihuo Cauldron and the Qiankun Qi Bag had collected a significant amount of treasures.

“There’s still more in the Qiankun Qi Bag! Ah Qing, you raided the Gongshu family’s treasury?”

Xiao Li’s eyes widened.

Lu Qing was extremely cautious in this assassination, even suppressing the fluctuations of the Lihuo Cauldron to conceal his presence.

Therefore, Xiao Li was unaware of what had transpired in Zhoutian City.

“It’s just the treasury of one of the direct lineages, not the Gongshu family’s largest treasury,”

Lu Qing explained.

“It’s not even all the spirit stones in the Gongshu family?” Xiao Li was even more astonished.

He had just been in the Lihuo Cauldron, looking at the mountain of spirit stones, and it had been astonishing enough.

He hadn’t expected that this was just the spirit stones from one of the Gongshu family’s treasuries.

“I didn’t expect the Gongshu family to be so wealthy. Let’s go inside and take a look.”

Lu Qing looked at the cave before him, then recalled the number of spirit stones in the Lihuo Cauldron and the Qiankun Yiqi Bag. Finally, he decided to go inside and take a look.

“Great, great!”

Xiao Li excitedly began.

He had just been rolling around on the mountain of spirit stones, not yet satisfied, and since Ah Qing had let him out, he naturally wanted to go in and play again.

Immediately, Lu Qing led Xiao Li back into the Lihuo Cauldron.

Within the spiritual artifact’s space, a figure stood dazed before a “small mountain” emitting a rich spiritual aura. Who else could it be but “Yan”?

“Master.” As

soon as Lu Qing entered the spiritual artifact space, “Yan” sensed it and rushed over to meet him.

As for Xiao Li, he threw himself onto the mountain of spirit stones and began to roll.

Suddenly, a clatter of spirit stones began to scatter, intensifying the spiritual aura within the spiritual artifact space.

“Master, our haul this time is truly enormous.”

Seeing this, “Yan” couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Compared to Xiao Li, it knew more about where these spirit stones came from; after all, it had helped Lu Qing during the treasure raid.

“Yes, I didn’t expect the haul to be this large.”

Lu Qing, looking at the mountain of spirit stones, was also somewhat excited.

Originally, when he infiltrated the inner city, he hadn’t considered robbing the Gongshu family’s treasury.

It was only after he learned of the treasury’s existence from Qiao Rong’s spirit memory that he suddenly decided to do it.

Little did he know, however, that this impulsive decision would become the greatest reward of this trip.

“Yan, have you counted how many spirit stones are here?”

Although there were many other treasures in the vault, Lu Qing’s most important possession right now was the spirit stones.

After all, they were crucial to his ability to quickly break through his limits and enter the divine realm of Jindan ninth stage and above.

“I’ve already counted them,”

Yan nodded softly

. While there were many spirit stones here, as the spirit of the Lihuo Ding, Yan had unparalleled control over the spiritual space within, making counting the treasures a piece of cake.

“There are a total of 383,546 mid-grade spirit stones here.”

“380,000…”

Even though Lu Qing had been prepared, he still gasped at the number.

It was simply too vast.

Furthermore, there were a number of spirit stones in the Qiankun Qi Bag. While not as many as in the Lihuo Ding, when added together, it would still be a significant number.

Remember, his original goal was only 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, but this single move had multiplied his goal several times over.

How could Lu Qing not be shocked by this?

“Now, I finally don’t have to worry about spirit stones for a long time.”

Lu Qing was excited.

With this amount of spirit stones, he could not only break through his limits and enter the realm of the ninth level of the Golden Core,

but he could even achieve the Primordial Spirit. Even after achieving the Primordial Spirit, he probably wouldn’t have to worry about the lack of spirit stones for a period of time.

“The Gongshu family is truly rich. The treasury of just one of the second branches of the direct lineage has collected so many spirit stones. How rich would the Gongshu family’s real treasury be?”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but imagine.

But this time, Lu Qing was wrong.

He didn’t know that among the direct branches of the Gongshu family, the second branch was famous for its business acumen. Not only did they have many businesses under their names, they were also good at earning spirit stones.

That’s why the treasury had so many spirit stones.

If it were the treasury of the other branches, it would be good if they had even one-tenth of the spirit stones here.

However, Lu Qing’s surprise didn’t stop there.

At this moment, “Yan” stretched out his hand, and a treasure box appeared in his hand. (End of this chapter)
