I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 793

Chapter 792 Before the Heavenly Execution Platform, the Demon Finally Appears!

In the Heavenly Prison, the Five Treasures Taoist priest lay emaciated, his shoulders bound by magical chains.

His aura was incredibly weak, barely sustaining a sliver of life.

Hearing footsteps outside, the Five Treasures Taoist priest slightly raised his head.

He knew it must be the execution time the man had spoken of yesterday.

Thinking of the terrifying figure who had placed the restriction within him yesterday, the Five Treasures Taoist priest felt even more despair.

“A narrow escape, a miraculous survival… do I really have a chance to survive until then?”

The Five Treasures Taoist priest recalled the divination he had performed before his capture.

The hexagram showed a narrow escape, a miraculous survival.

It was that hexagram that had allowed him to endure these years in the desolate Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison.

But his execution time was fast approaching, and the control restriction placed within him by the terrifying expert from yesterday remained.

He couldn’t see where his chance of survival lay.

Could it be that his divination had been wrong?

In despair, the Five Treasures Taoist felt himself being grabbed by iron chains and lifted up. A sharp pain shot through his shoulders, but his expression remained largely unchanged, and he showed no sign of struggling.

He had long since become numb to this pain.

The iron chains on his shoulders were an exceptionally vicious magical artifact, not only sealing all his magical power but also emitting a sinister energy from time to time, tormenting his body and mind.

Compared to the torment he had endured over the years, the pain in his shoulders was utterly insignificant.

After being taken from the cell, everything went black; he was surrounded by emptiness and could feel nothing.

He knew he should be stored in some spatial artifact.

He was powerless to do anything about it, only his despair grew ever stronger.

“Is it about to begin?”

In the inn, Lu Qing, who had been sitting cross-legged on the bed, calming his mind, opened his eyes.

He could sense the growing commotion outside; many cultivators were heading out of the city.

Estimating that the time was about right, he also left his room and joined the crowd heading out of the city.

According to the notice, the execution site was called the Heavenly Execution Platform.

It was a special execution platform used by the Holy Alliance to punish those who had committed heinous and unforgivable crimes.

It was located on a protruding cliff on Heavenly Saint Peak, surrounded by a layer of charred black,

said to be stained with the blood of those heinous criminals.

Lu Qing followed the crowd to the foot of the Heavenly Execution Platform and looked up.

The platform was several miles away, but those who could come to watch were at least at the Golden Core Realm.

Therefore, the distance was no problem for them; they could see everything clearly.

It wasn’t yet time, but a considerable number of people had already gathered below the platform.

There were over a thousand Golden Core Realm cultivators alone, and quite a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, not to mention the cultivators still on their way.

This great world, with its countless millennia of heritage, possessed an incredibly profound foundation.

The number of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators far exceeded that of medium-sized and small worlds.

Lu Qing remained calm and hidden among the crowd.

He could already sense the numerous powerful auras within Tian Sheng Peak.

Even around him, many formidable auras were hidden and lurking.

There were dozens of those at the fifth tribulation of the Nascent Soul realm alone.

There were also quite a few above the fifth tribulation.

He even vaguely sensed two elusive, unpredictable auras.

Those that even he, at the eighth tribulation of the Nascent Soul realm, found somewhat perplexing must be those at the ninth tribulation.

“So they’ve summoned back all the top Nascent Souls of the entire human race? They really think highly of me.”

Lu Qing was perfectly aware of his surroundings.

Although he had only just entered the eighth tribulation of the Nascent Soul realm, he had condensed a perfect Nascent Soul, which was fundamentally different from ordinary Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

His Nascent Soul had already transformed to a mysterious and unpredictable level.

Therefore, although the auras of those around him were well concealed, they couldn’t escape his senses.

However, Lu Qing didn’t make a sound, but waited quietly for noon to arrive.

“Elder Ce, how is it? Can you tell if that demon is mixed in among them?”

On Tian Sheng Peak, Lei Tian asked an old man dressed in a Bagua Daoist robe.

The old man was holding a magic mirror, which showed the cultivators gathered from all sides below the mountain.

Among them, Lu Qing’s figure was clearly visible.

However, the old man in the Bagua Daoist robe, called Elder Ce, shook his head after mentally analyzing the magic mirror.

“Although some of the cultivators below used magic treasures to change their aura, the Sky-Patrolling Mirror did not detect the demon’s aura.”

“According to the information we have, that demon is extremely good at changing its aura, so it’s normal that we can’t find it. Elder Ce, don’t be discouraged.”

Lei Tian was somewhat disappointed, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he comforted the old man.

“Palace Master Lei, in theory, even the disguise of a Supreme Demon Lord at the Ninth Tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage would be difficult to escape the Sky-Patrolling Mirror’s search. Perhaps that demon really isn’t down there.”

Elder Ce thought for a moment and still reminded him.

“In short, we cannot be careless,” Lei Tian said solemnly. “That demon is an anomaly; it’s normal that it possesses abilities we cannot predict.”

Elder Ce’s heart tightened, and he quickly agreed.

These past few days, Lei Tian had been using various means to win people’s hearts, gradually gaining power and influence within the Holy Alliance. His words carried increasing weight

, to the point that even his voice carried a hint of authority.

Coupled with the opponent’s cultivation at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage,

as long as the two vice-alliance leaders, who had been in seclusion for a thousand years, did not emerge, it could be said that almost no one in the entire Holy Alliance could suppress him.

As for the alliance leader, that one hadn’t issued any decrees or managed the alliance’s affairs for ten thousand years.

Elder Ce’s changing expression did not escape Lei Tian’s notice.

He was somewhat satisfied, looked at the sky, and then said, “The time is almost up. Prepare for the execution.”

With this command, the bald old man flew to the Heavenly Execution Platform, took out a cloth bag, and casually shook it.

More than ten figures were shaken out of the bag and fell onto the execution platform.

It was a group of disheveled, emaciated prisoners, their shoulders chained.

“Are these the traitors who colluded with demons and betrayed our human race, as mentioned in the notice?”

“Where did they get the audacity?”

“I heard most of them are disciples of the Qiankun Sect.”

“More than that, these disciples were personally handed over by the sect leader of the Qiankun Sect. It’s said that one of their Nascent Soul Realm elders disagreed and fought a fierce battle, ultimately escaping wounded.”

“That sect leader of the Qiankun Sect certainly made a bold decision.”

“But what kind of demons could mere Golden Core Realm disciples collude with that warrants such a public announcement from the Holy Alliance?”

“It’s said to be related to the battle at Tian Shu Divine Mountain back then.”

“Then it’s not surprising. Our human race lost many Nascent Soul Realm experts in that battle.”

…

Seeing the scene on the Heavenly Execution Platform, the cultivators watching below immediately began to discuss amongst themselves.

Hearing these discussions, Lu Qing finally understood that Ye Qingzhu and the others had actually been handed over by their own sect leader.

His gaze fell on Daoist Wubao and the others, and he began to examine their condition.

“Where is this?”

Ye Qingzhu and the others had been thrown from the spatial bag. Without the protection of magic power, and with their physical bodies weakened by torture, they were naturally seeing stars and in great pain.

However, they remained numb, like emotionless wood, not uttering a sound.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, Miss Ye, so you were also captured.”

At this moment, a weak voice came from the side.

“You are… Daoist Wubao?”

Ye Qingzhu recognized the voice vaguely, and her eyes moved slightly. She looked to the side,

carefully discerning the aura, before her eyes widened suddenly.

The other Qiankun Sect disciples, hearing the conversation between the two

, also showed a slight fluctuation in their numb eyes.

But before they could catch up, a majestic voice rang out above them.

“The five traitorous Daoists of the human race, Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, Chu Xiaojing… You colluded with demonic fiends, harming our human race’s main force of Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core cultivators. The evidence is irrefutable, and your crimes are unforgivable. You are sentenced to the extreme punishment of being burned alive by lightning, as a warning to others!

Remember this: all who betray our human race will suffer this punishment!”

This majestic voice resounded throughout the surrounding area, audible for miles around.

Faced with such a terrifying sentence, Ye Qingzhu and the others remained unmoved.

Some Qiankun Sect disciples even showed expressions of relief.

Finally, they no longer had to suffer day and night in that dark, sunless prison, unable to live or die.

For them, who had endured so much torment, death was now a relief.

After announcing the sentence for Ye Qingzhu and the others, Lei Tian deliberately paused for a moment, seemingly waiting for something.

The entire Tian Sheng Peak fell into silence.

However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

As the execution time approached, the cultivators watching below began to show expressions of doubt.

Lei Tian knew he couldn’t delay any longer.

Regardless of whether the demon was nearby, these Golden Core realm ants were going to die today.

Immediately, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his arm, he gave the order:

“Begin the execution!”

Boom!

With this order, a thunderous sound resounded above the Heavenly Execution Platform.

A lightning array slowly appeared, flashing with streaks of lightning.

The aura it emitted caused even the Nascent Soul realm experts among the onlookers to change color.

The power of this lightning array made them tremble.

If the Golden Core realm prisoners on the execution platform were struck, there would be no chance of survival.

The lightning array flashed with lightning, slowly rotating, radiating a terrifying aura.

Ye Qingzhu and the others, however, showed no fear, looking up with expressions of relief on their faces.

The power of this lightning was so terrifying that perhaps they wouldn’t suffer much pain when they died.

Boom!

Finally, the lightning array spun nine times, gathering the lightning, and a bolt of lightning powerful enough to severely injure even a fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator crashed down.

Ye Qingzhu and the others instinctively closed their eyes, awaiting their death.

However, after several breaths, they didn’t feel the pain of being burned by the lightning. Puzzled, they opened their eyes.

Then they saw that the lightning array above their heads had disappeared without a trace.

A figure, unfamiliar yet somehow familiar, stood before them.

“You are… Fellow Daoist Chen?”

Ye Qingzhu trembled upon seeing the somewhat familiar figure.

“Is it Brother Chen?” Chu Xiaojing, standing beside him, also widened her eyes. “

I’m sorry everyone, I’ve caused you suffering. Please take refuge in my magic treasure for a while.”

Lu Qing smiled, offering no further explanation, and waved his hand lightly.

Before Ye Qingzhu and the others could react, he shattered the iron chains on their shoulders and collected them all into the Li Huo Cauldron.

Even as he collected them, Lu Qing also sent out more than ten threads of magical power to invade their dantian, pulling out a lightning-streaked restriction and placing it in his hand.

Ye Qingzhu and the others, now inside the Li Huo Cauldron, immediately felt a sense of relief in their dantian.

They understood that the restriction that terrifying figure had planted in their dantian yesterday had been removed.

Before they could even react, Lu Qing’s voice descended from the sky.

“Master Wubao, Miss Ye, please rest quietly in my magical treasure space. I will avenge you.”

“Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, fetch some healing pills for Miss Ye and the others.”

“Yes, brother.”

With a melodious voice, Ye Qingzhu and the others found themselves in a palace-like space.

Surrounded by the light of magical treasures, a fairy-like girl was walking towards them.

Beside her followed a small black beast and two dragons.

Just as they were at a loss, Xiao Li changed her appearance and jumped in front of them.

At the same time, a voice rang in their minds: “What, don’t you recognize me?”

“Xiao Li, it’s you?!”

Seeing Xiao Li’s transformed appearance, Ye Qingzhu and the others’ eyes widened.

Xiao Li was here, which meant that the one who had saved them was indeed Fellow Daoist Chen?

“Your bodies are quite damaged. Take some pills to heal and recover first. I’ll explain everything else later.”

Xiao Li waved its paw, and more than ten jade bottles flew to Ye Qingzhu and the others.

Although Ye Qingzhu and the others had countless questions, feeling their physical weakness, they obediently took the jade bottles, took out the pills, and began to heal.

Seeing everyone quietly healing, Xiao Li ignored them and immediately focused its attention outside.

The real show was happening outside.

“What’s that?”

“Did I see that right? Someone actually swallowed that lightning bolt whole and shattered the lightning array with a single punch?”

“Someone actually dared to save people at the Heavenly Punishment Platform! Who is so audacious!”

“Could this be the Demon King?”

Outside, the many cultivators at the foot of Heavenly Saint Peak were dumbfounded.

They had just watched as those Golden Core Realm traitors were about to be killed by the lightning, when suddenly a figure appeared beneath it.

Opening its mouth, it swallowed the terrifying lightning bolt whole.

Then, with a casual wave of its hand, it completely shattered the lightning array, which radiated terrifying power and which even a Fifth Tribulation Nascent Soul expert dared not touch.

This sudden scene shocked everyone.

Conversely, the experts on Heavenly Saint Peak were overjoyed.

“Demon King, you really did appear!” (End of Chapter)
