I Can See Through All Things' Information

Chapter 996: Chapter 534: The Awakening of the Five Lineages and Reactions from All Sides (Part 2)

"Impossible! A mere Golden Core Realm, how could he possibly be a match for a Primordial Spirit Great Power, let alone kill one? How could such an absurd thing exist in the world? Even nonsense must have its limit!"

"A mere Golden Core Realm, a Primordial Spirit Great Power could eliminate him with just a breath, yet they say he counter-killed a Primordial Spirit. Who spread such false information?"

When it was rumored that the one who killed numerous Primordial Spirit Great Powers was a Golden Core Realm cultivator who had just emerged from the secret realm of Tianshu Divine Mountain, the vast majority reacted with disbelief.

After all, it was far too absurd—such a mere Golden Core Realm, counter-killing Primordial Spirits, and even killing multiple Primordial Spirit Great Powers before leaving easily.

No matter how you hear it, it sounds fake. Does everyone really not understand cultivation?

However, just as countless cultivators ridiculed this news and considered it false information fabricated by some people,

another piece of news emerged, shocking everyone once again.

The Holy Alliance issued a pursuit order, stating that an evil demon used a secret technique to infiltrate the human territory and entered the secret realm of Tianshu Divine Mountain, obtaining heaven-defying opportunities.

Subsequently, when the secret realm closed, it took advantage of the unpreparedness of multiple Primordial Spirit Great Powers and used evil techniques to harm them, finally evading capture.

Now, that evil demon is likely still lurking within the territories of humans, prompting the righteous way across the world to be cautious and report immediately to the Holy Alliance if they discover any traces, to carry out an extermination.

If anyone could provide effective information or kill that evil demon, they could obtain the generous bounty jointly offered by the Holy Alliance and various sect forces.

Accompanying the pursuit order was an image of Lu Qing’s face and Little Li’s transformed appearance.

Upon the issuance of this pursuit order, everyone was finally convinced that indeed a great battle had taken place on Tianshu Divine Mountain.

But it wasn’t as the rumors stated, as some Golden Core Realm counter-killing Primordial Spirits or the like, but rather a powerful Demon Cultivator above a Demon General had infiltrated and used evil techniques to harm numerous Primordial Spirit Great Powers.

Thus, the mentality of the cultivators changed once more.

Ambitious ones, eager to slay demons and uphold justice, or aiming to collect the generous bounty from the Holy Alliance, immediately headed towards Tianshu Continent.

Others, with smaller courage, terrified by the thought of such a terrifying demon lurking within human territories, became frightened and began closed cultivation, planning not to go out for a while to avoid encountering that demon and meeting their doom.

Moreover, some cultivators already on Tianshu Continent chose to flee and steer clear of this trouble-ridden place.

Among them, some cultivators, upon seeing the image from the Holy Alliance depicting Lu Qing and Little Li, were especially shocked.

"Grandpa, isn’t the person shown there the Brother Chen who saved us?"

In a certain city, a child quietly asked while looking at the image on the city wall.

"That is indeed Brother Chen, and the one he’s holding is Little Li, isn’t it?" another child confirmed.

"Silence that nonsense!"

The elderly man they asked immediately changed expressions upon hearing the conversation between the two children.

He quickly waved his hand to set up a restriction, sealing their mouths to prevent others from hearing their words, then hurriedly left with the two grandchildren.

Only after returning to his own cave mansion did he lift the restriction on the two grandchildren.

"Grandpa, why won’t you let us speak? Isn’t Brother Chen a good person? Why does the notice say he’s an evil demon?"

Once unlocked, one of the children asked in confusion.

"You two are not to mention anything about your Brother Chen from now on, otherwise, I will lock you in a quiet room for closed cultivation until you reach Foundation Establishment and cannot come out!" the elder sternly admonished.

Faced with such a terrifying punishment, the two children’s faces turned pale immediately.

They were only at Qi Refining Minor Success; reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm would mean years of closed cultivation.

They no longer dared to ask questions.

"Alright then, both of you go cultivate, and remember, do not mention this matter again!"

After scaring them into silence and sending them off to cultivate, the old man began thinking with a face filled with indecision.

He had never expected that the young man who had once traveled with them for so long and saved them on Gale Plain would cause such an earth-shattering event in the Tianshu Continent.

"With such strength to single-handedly kill multiple Primordial Spirit Great Powers, has his power already reached this level?"

The old man couldn’t help but sigh.

His mind recalled the scene of Lu Qing, standing alone in Gale Plain, with his sword holding off a Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast to cover their retreat.

He didn’t expect that in such a short time, Lu Qing would already be able to kill Primordial Spirit Realm beings.

The pace at which his strength grew was truly terrifying.

It’s probably exactly as the pursuit order states; he must have gained incredible opportunity in the secret realm at Tianshu Divine Mountain.

However, regarding the notice’s claim that Lu Qing was an evil demon, the old man didn’t believe it at all.

What kind of evil demon would risk his life to cover the retreat of strangers?

Clearly, it must be those big forces deliberately besmirching his name to save face.

The old man, familiar with the nature of some upper-tier forces, revealed disdain in his eyes.

As for the pursuit order’s promise of generous rewards for providing relevant clues, he wasn’t tempted in the slightest.

Though he wasn’t strong, he was too proud to betray a benefactor for cultivation resources.

But among those who traveled with them through Gale Plain, many people saw him.

Surely, someone among them would not be able to resist the temptation and provide clues.

"Just hope it won’t negatively impact him," the old man thought with some worry.

"Could this Chen Qing be Fellow Daoist Lu Qing?"

In the Nangong Family, one of the thirty-six noble families of the Heavenly Origin Great World, Nangong Yuanwu, with a pallid face and weakened aura, muttered while looking at the intelligence his family brought.

He recalled the young man who saved him and Mo Hongyun and who had eventually followed him to the upper realm.

Although there were some differences in appearance between the image in the intelligence and that mysterious young man, there was still a faint sense of familiarity.

Moreover, this person also had a spiritual pet resembling a raccoon.

Though the pet’s appearance had also changed, there couldn’t possibly be such a coincidence in the world, could there?

Thus, Nangong Yuanwu was seventy to eighty percent sure that the person on the Holy Alliance’s pursuit order was probably Fellow Daoist Lu Qing.

"With a robust physical body and unrivaled boxing skills, isn’t this precisely Fellow Daoist Lu Qing’s fighting style? Who would have thought, not long after entering the upper realm, that his power would have grown to the point where even a Primordial Spirit Initial Realm cultivator isn’t his match anymore."

After discussing the Dao with Lu Qing, Nangong Yuanwu was aware of the inscrutability of this young man.

After entering the upper realm, he was bound to stir the winds and waves of the world.

But he didn’t expect that day to come so swiftly.

In just a few short years, that Golden Core Realm cultivator had already become able to effortlessly kill Primordial Spirit Initial Realm Great Powers.

Such power wasn’t even something that he, at his peak, could contend with.

"However, Gongshu Zheng actually died, and died well! The most brilliant young genius of the Gongsu family is dead; surely they must be heartbroken."

Nangong Yuanwu displayed an expression of satisfaction on his face.

When he had just returned to the upper realm, he was nearly ambushed and killed by assassins from the Netherworld Palace.

To this day, he’d been weak and didn’t know if he’d ever recover, filling his heart with hatred.

He knew members of the Gongsu family were behind it, but injured as he was, revenge seemed impossible.

Now, knowing that the most brilliant young Primordial Spirit cultivator of the Gongsu family, Gongshu Zheng, perished in Tianshu Divine Mountain, the satisfaction within his heart nearly eased his own injuries.

"It’s a pity Red Yun isn’t here to share this news."

Nangong Yuanwu expressed some regret.

Mo Hongyun had been sent to another Great World by him long ago, and even after all these years, she had not returned. Even Nangong Yuanwu himself could no longer reach her.

He did not know when they would reunite.
