I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 682
Chapter 682: Elder Xing, King Zhenwu, Identity Revealed
“Fellow Daoist, please show mercy.”
As the voice rang out, an invisible force suddenly appeared before Lu Qing, shielding the two Myriad Beast Sect disciples.
The two, who should have been crushed by Lu Qing’s single thought, miraculously survived, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
As the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared before the human race’s powerful spirits.
It was an elderly man, not particularly large, even rather thin.
He had graying hair, a heavy, dark sword slung across his back, and a cold, stern aura emanated from him.
“Elder Xing!”
The human race’s powerful spirits exclaimed in delight upon seeing this figure. They
also felt a surge of relief.
Lu Qing’s aura had been so terrifying that even they felt their hearts flutter.
Furthermore, his speed made them extremely wary.
Even a peak-level spirit like the middle-aged man in a purple robe and a tall crown dared not act rashly.
Now that Elder Xing had arrived, they felt a sense of security.
You have to know that Elder Xing is a powerful Yuanshen master at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation Realm, only one step away from the Fifth Tribulation Realm.
Furthermore, he is a pure sword cultivator, possessing astonishing combat prowess, almost comparable to a true Fifth Tribulation Master.
Among the many elders of the Holy Alliance, his strength is considered top-tier, only surpassed by those who have already comprehended the power of space.
“Haha, Xing Jian, I didn’t expect you to arrive first!”
A heroic voice echoed a few breaths after Elder Xing appeared.
Another figure suddenly appeared, approaching the group of demon Yuanshen masters.
This figure had a human body and a monkey face, a burly figure, covered in golden-black hair, with thick hands that reached his knees, and exuding an aura of unparalleled dominance.
“Greetings, True Martial King!”
The demon Yuanshen masters, upon seeing the ape appear, were overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
“True Martial King, you’re here too.”
Elder Xing nodded slightly upon seeing the ape appear, but his stern expression couldn’t help but shift when he saw the ape’s black-gold hair.
“Have you broken through?”
“Haha, just a fluke.”
King Zhenwu grinned, his words modest, his face brimming with pride.
In previous clashes, at the same realm, he’d always been slightly outmatched by Xing Jian.
Now, he’d taken a crucial step. Though not yet a complete breakthrough, he was already ahead of Xing Jian.
“I didn’t expect you’d beat him to it. Once your fur has completely transformed, you’ll be able to truly enter the Fifth Tribulation, right?”
“Hehe, let’s spar again then,” King Zhenwu chuckled.
This time, Elder Xing ignored him.
In the past, his sword skills had allowed him to slightly outmaneuver the ape, but only slightly.
The ape was gifted, possessing ancient bloodlines. Once it entered the Fifth Tribulation, its bloodlines would fully activate, and its power would inevitably surge.
Wouldn’t it be courting trouble for him to spar with it again?
The two powerful men chatted obliviously, the powerful humans and demons nearby not daring to interrupt.
Even Lu Qing didn’t seem to interrupt, seemingly waiting for them to finish their conversation.
Suddenly, the True Martial King’s gaze fell on Lu Qing, then on the white dragon behind him, and on Xiao Li and Wu Xing on his shoulders.
He then said, “It seems your own men have summoned you here because of that strange calamity. Judging from the situation, could this kid be the one who caused it?”
“I just arrived, too, so I’m not entirely clear on the situation.” Elder Xing shook his head.
“Elder Xing…”
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the purple robe and tall crown seemed to be reporting something to Elder Xing via telepathy.
Elder Xing’s expression shifted slightly as he listened, and he glanced at Xiao Li on Lu Qing’s shoulder.
Lu Qing was naturally aware of these changes, but he didn’t place too much emphasis on them.
During their conversation, he had already gathered information about the other party.
After breaking through the Soul Realm, Lu Qing’s abilities seemed to have been further enhanced
, making his information gathering much faster.
Even a powerful Yuanshen of the Fourth or Fifth Tribulation would only take a few breaths for him to ascertain their information.
Seeing both men fix their gazes on him, Lu Qing turned back to Elder Xing and
asked calmly, “I wonder what your intention is in stopping me from punishing these two villains?”
“Why, fellow Daoist, do you want to put these two to death?” Elder Xing asked.
“These two villains took advantage of my tribulation to attack my spirit pet and abduct it. Senior, do you think they deserve to die?”
Upon hearing this, the two Myriad Beast Sect disciples became extremely anxious and shouted again.
“Elder, we are wronged. We just thought that these spirit beasts were the native spirit beasts of the Myriad Demons Mountains. We didn’t know that they were the spirit pets of this senior. Otherwise, even if we were given ten times the courage, we would not dare to offend them.”
“We are disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect. The Sect Master is also one of the elders of the Holy Alliance. Elder, help us!”
Lu Qing did not stop the two people from shouting. He just looked at Elder Xing quietly, wanting to see what he would do.
Elder Xing’s expression did not fluctuate at all when the two Myriad Beasts Sect disciples shouted.
He just said to Lu Qing: “Daoyou also heard it. These two disciples are disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect. The Myriad Beasts Sect is one of the allies of our Holy Alliance. The disciples are under the jurisdiction of the Holy Alliance.
Since they have made a mistake, if you trust me, why not hand them over to our Holy Alliance for disposal? We will certainly punish them severely. “
Hand them over to you for disposal?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, “Then will you execute them?”
“You are joking.” Elder Xing shook his head, “Although they are wrong and have offended you, they are not guilty of death. However, I will make them compensate you.”
“Compensation?” Lu Qing smiled and ruffled Xiao Li’s fur, “Senior, do you know that this pet is a real family member to me.
These two are masters of the late Jindan realm. The attack they just launched with their combined magic weapons was quite powerful. If
I hadn’t arrived in time, my pets would have been seriously injured if not killed.
Senior, if your family was attacked for no reason and almost died, what would you do?
Elder Xing fell silent. He could hear the murderous intent in Lu Qing’s voice.
He was determined not to spare the two Myriad Beast Sect disciples. However, after a pause, he spoke again, “
If it were me, I would still hand them over to the Holy Alliance for disposal.”
“It seems I, Senior, and I can’t agree,” Lu Qing said, shaking his head. “I always repay favors with kindness and revenge with hatred. Since these two have offended me, I have no reason to punish them through others.”
With that, Lu Qing’s mind shifted, and the suppressive force exerted upon the two Myriad Beast Sect disciples suddenly increased dramatically.
Elder Xing sensed this, his expression changing slightly. His spirit surged, and the power bestowed upon the two Myriad Beast Sect disciples also rapidly intensified.
However, he was shocked to discover that his own increased power was not as great as theirs.
Bang!
In a split second, there was a resounding sound, and Elder Xing’s power was broken.
Immediately afterwards, under the immensely powerful suppressive force unleashed by Lu Qing, the two Myriad Beast Sect disciples were reduced to two clouds of bloody mist, dying instantly.
“Fellow Daoist, you!”
Elder Xing, looking at the two clouds of bloody mist, was filled with shock and anger.
He was naturally shocked by the unexpected power of Lu Qing’s suppression, capable of breaking even his own Daoist magic. He
was furious that he, an elder of the Holy Alliance’s Xing Hall and a peak-level fourth-tribulation Yuanshen,
hadn’t even given him the slightest respect, killing the very person he was supposed to protect right before his eyes.
“Senior, those who offended me have been personally punished by me. Do you have anything else to say?” Lu Qing said calmly.
Elder Xing’s face darkened, and he stared at Lu Qing intently, murderous intent welling up in his heart.
Lu Qing sensed this killing intent, but smiled.
“It seems you’re not as selfless as you claim. I merely punished two evildoers, and yet you harbor murderous intent. Have I already committed a capital offense against the Holy Alliance?
Or are you finally going to stop pretending?”
“What did you say?” Elder Xing paused.
The expressions of the Yuanshen realm masters, including the middle-aged man in a purple robe and a high crown behind him, also changed slightly.
“Haha, do you all think I’m such a fool that I didn’t notice you were communicating with each other just now? You must have recognized my identity through Xiao Li, right?”
“So, you are indeed the evil demon who murdered so many powerful soul masters and committed such a heinous crime on Tianshu Divine Mountain?”
Elder Xing’s face turned completely cold.
“Evil demon?” Lu Qing pondered the word, then smiled. “Yes, I am the ‘evil demon’ wanted by your Holy Alliance back then.”
These words startled all the human soul masters.
Although they had already confirmed through various clues that the mysterious young man before them was most likely the “evil demon” who committed such a heinous crime on Tianshu Divine Mountain,
they were still shocked when they heard Lu Qing’s admission.
They had expected him to at least make excuses and deny it, but he admitted it so frankly.
At the same time, some of their doubts were resolved.
Rumor has it that the “evil demon” who slew several powerful Yuanshen masters in Tianshu Divine Mountain was actually at the Jindan realm.
When this story reached the Holy Alliance, the vast majority of the elders and members were skeptical.
After all, the idea of a Jindan master defeating a Yuanshen master was too unbelievable, let alone a Jindan master single-handedly defeating multiple Yuanshen masters.
Such a thing was as absurd as an ant suddenly claiming to be able to slay a dragon.
Some elders even speculated that the surviving Yuanshen masters were exaggerating, deliberately exaggerating the “evil demon’s” abilities to cover up their own incompetence.
However, after extensive investigation, the Holy Alliance came to a shocking conclusion:
the claims of the Yuanshen masters were highly likely true.
The “evil demon” was likely truly at the Jindan realm!
It was for this reason that the Holy Alliance ultimately decided to issue a hunt for the “evil demon.”
Firstly, the “evil demon” possessed immense potential and seemed deeply hostile to their human forces, posing a formidable threat.
Secondly, some within the Holy Alliance were eager to understand how a Jindan-level cultivator could possess such immense power.
It seemed no wonder the previous tribulation had been so powerful. While clearly a calamity of the Soul, it was far more terrifying than the Soul tribulations faced by those of their more experienced Soul masters.
If it were this person, it made sense.
After all, back then, this “evil demon” could have slain numerous Soul Masters while still in the Jindan stage, meaning his accumulated strength must have been incredibly profound.
It seemed reasonable that the Soul Tribulation he faced would be beyond common sense. The
Human Soul Masters were in shock.
Even those in the Demon Soul Realm had a change of heart.
They had all heard of the events that occurred at Tianshu Divine Mountain, but they had never imagined that the protagonist would be this mysterious young man.
The perceptive ones immediately set their sights on Xiao Li.
They thought of some rumors about what happened back then.
Legend has it that back then, the “evil demon” was accompanied by a spirit beast with ancient bloodline. Could it be the black civet cat standing on his shoulder?
“Very good!”
Elder Xing said with a sullen face, “So it really is you, the evil demon. No wonder you were so ruthless just now.
You didn’t even let go of two Jindan realm juniors who had only slightly offended you, and wanted to kill them all.
That’s right, only an evil demon like you could do such a cruel thing!
As the saying goes, you can never find the iron shoe you need. Back then, our Holy Alliance was looking for you for so many years, but we couldn’t find any trace of you. I didn’t expect you to be hiding in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains to cultivate.
That’s perfect. Today I will capture you and bring you back to the Holy Alliance for trial, so that you will know that the powerful people of our human race are not so easy to kill!”
With that, Elder Xing drew the dark iron sword from his back and moved to capture Lu Qing.
“Wait!”
However, just as Elder Xing was about to move, the Zhenwu King suddenly appeared before him and held him back.
“Zhenwu King, what do you mean by this?”
Elder Xing’s expression changed, and he demanded immediately.
A multitude of thoughts raced through his mind.
Could it be that the Zhenwu King, seeing that this demon was at odds with their race, wanted to intervene?
“Xing Jian, there’s no need to be angry,”
the Zhenwu King explained, seeming to understand Elder Xing’s thoughts.
“You humans have a score to settle with this kid, but we demons have questions for him as well. Why not wait until I’ve finished my questions before you act?
He’s just a young man who’s just entered the Soul Realm. Are you still worried that he could turn the tables on us?”
Elder Xing sensed the Zhenwu King’s aura and knew that even if he disagreed, the ape would surely intervene.
Thinking that the other party had already stepped halfway into the Five Tribulations Realm, he could only say coldly: “Then ask!”
King Zhenwu turned his head and looked at Lu Qing: “Boy, tell me, what is the origin of the civet cat spirit beast on your shoulder?” (End of this chapter)
