I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 354

“Lu Xiaolangjun, is it really you?”

Suddenly hearing Lu Qing’s voice, Wei Xinghe could hardly believe it.

He even suspected that he was hallucinating between life and death.

“It’s me, Master Wei. How are you holding up?”

Lu Qing’s spiritual voice continued to resonate.

Only then did Wei Xinghe realize that the voice was coming from the Lightness Talisman on his body.

Without further doubt, he sensed the movement behind him.

With a few quick leaps, he swiftly reached the rooftop of a nearby street and slipped into a window of a small attic.

As soon as he entered the room, Wei Xinghe froze in place.

On the bed in the attic lay a small, emaciated figure, already devoid of life.

He understood that this was one of the townspeople who had their vitality drained by the earlier activation of the great formation.

Clenching his fists, Wei Xinghe suppressed the anger in his heart.

Then, he crouched down, concealed his breath, and hid.

The situation was urgent, and he couldn’t afford to let his emotions run wild.

The most important thing now was to inform Lu Qing of the situation in the Prefecture City.

If he and Old Chen could arrive in time, perhaps there was still hope to save the hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

With no time to dwell on the situation, Wei Xinghe hurriedly spoke into the Jade Communication Token:

“Lu Xiaolangjun, things are dire. The Prefecture City has been surrounded by a powerful demonic cultivator of unknown origin, using an array formation.”

“That formation is incredibly evil, capable of absorbing the essence of people. Many townsfolk have already perished because of it.”

“Did you see the demonic cultivator?” Lu Qing asked.

“I only caught a glimpse. The demonic cultivator is immensely powerful. I didn’t even get a clear look before he saw through my Concealment Talisman.”

“If it weren’t for the Sword Talisman you gave me, I probably wouldn’t have escaped.”

“Lu Xiaolangjun, the tens of thousands of people in the Prefecture City are in grave danger. I fear that only you and Old Chen can break the array and save them!”

Wei Xinghe lowered his voice and spoke quickly.

He wasn’t sure if Lu Qing could still make it in time if he rushed from Jiuli Village now.

“Master Wei, don’t worry. I’m right outside the Prefecture City, but I need some time to break the array. I can’t enter the city yet.”

“You’re outside the city?” Wei Xinghe’s heart soared with joy.

“Yes, I just arrived. I’m figuring out how to break the formation. In the meantime, find a safe place for yourself. Leave the rest to me.”

With that, Lu Qing severed his connection to the spiritual talisman.

Sensing that Lu Qing’s spiritual awareness had departed, Wei Xinghe didn’t panic. Instead, his heart was once again filled with hope.

He had originally thought that even if Lu Qing knew about the situation in the Prefecture City, it would be too late for him to arrive.

He hadn’t expected that Lu Qing was already outside the city.

Wei Xinghe was full of confidence in Lu Qing’s abilities.

Since he had come, the crisis in the Prefecture City would surely be resolved.

Now, all Wei Xinghe had to do was stay safe and wait for Lu Qing to break the formation.

It was a pity that his Concealment Talisman had been broken by that terrifying demonic cultivator. Otherwise, with the talisman’s effect, he could have easily hidden until Lu Qing finished breaking the array.

As he was thinking this, Wei Xinghe suddenly shuddered, and a sense of danger surged from his heart.

Without a second thought, he bolted out of the attic window.

Boom!

Just as he escaped, the entire attic was destroyed by a powerful force.

The small figure within was blasted into pieces.

“Father, I see you’ve been hiding here. You made it quite difficult for me to find you.”

Wei Zihao’s voice echoed.

Wei Xinghe glanced at his eldest son, now exuding black qi, and knew that he had fallen under the control of the demonic cultivator.

It was pointless to engage with him here.

Without saying a word, he activated the Lightness Talisman on his body. A flash of green light surged, and his speed reached its peak. With a few flickers, he vanished from Wei Zihao’s sight.

Unable to intercept him again, Wei Zihao’s face darkened, his eyes growing cold.

The Heavenly Demon Lord had specifically ordered him to capture his father. Having failed repeatedly, if he were to be held accountable, things would not bode well for him.

Thinking of this, the black runes on Wei Zihao’s body stirred, and his aura grew even more sinister.

In the next moment, he stepped forward, leaving a long trail of afterimages behind.

His speed, too, had doubled, as he chased after Wei Xinghe’s fleeing figure.

Wei Xinghe felt the explosion of energy behind him, and his heart was filled with both shock and fury.

The shock was from his inability to comprehend what kind of demonic technique the mysterious cultivator had used.

That he could make Wei Zihao, still only in the Postnatal Realm, explode with power rivaling his own.

The anger came from his knowledge as a martial artist that power should come from one’s own cultivation.

For Wei Zihao, still in the Postnatal Realm, to forcibly control power beyond his level, there must be a price to pay.

If this continued, his body would likely collapse.

That demonic cultivator dared to turn his son into such a monstrous figure, neither human nor ghost—how could Wei Xinghe not be enraged?

Unfortunately, no matter how furious he was, Wei Xinghe knew that he was powerless.

His only hope was for Lu Qing to break the array soon and defeat the mysterious demonic cultivator.

Only then would there be a chance to restore Wei Zihao’s sanity.

Not wanting to engage in a pointless fight with his son, Wei Xinghe increased his speed once again, fleeing forward.

Suddenly, he sensed several powerful Inborn Realm auras ahead.

…

After finishing his conversation with Wei Xinghe and learning about the situation in the city, Lu Qing severed his connection with the Lightness Talisman.

He turned his attention to the black formation screen in front of him, contemplating how to break the array.

He had encountered an array like this before, one designed to trap and refine the blood essence of people.

On his way to Zhongzhou, the Silver Moon Sect had once set up a similar array, intending to refine the martial experts of Yun State.

However, the array that the Silver Moon Sect had set up at that time could only cover a small town.

Its power was far inferior to the great array before him, which could envelop an entire prefecture.

“The Tenfold Blood-Melting Soul Refining Array, a legacy of the Black Sky Demon Sovereign from the Tianyuan Great World…”

Lu Qing recalled the information that had flashed before him earlier, deep in thought.

The implications of this were vast.

Both the Tianyuan Great World and the Black Sky Demon Sovereign were clearly extraordinary entities.

What kind of connection did the demonic cultivator in the city have with the Tianyuan Great World?

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, unable to reach a conclusion, so he set the matter aside for now.

The immediate priority was to find a way to break the formation.

Otherwise, when the array activated again, many more townspeople would lose their lives.

Lu Qing released his spiritual awareness, carefully sensing the flow of power within the array’s black screen.

Though the array blocked his ability to sense what was happening inside the city, he could still detect the movement of power within the screen itself.

The Tenfold Blood-Melting Soul Refining Array was vast and powerful, far greater than the one he had encountered at the Silver Moon Sect.

But every array had its nodes.

As long as enough of the array nodes were destroyed, the array would collapse on its own.

Lu Qing, having inherited the knowledge of the Divine Rune Sect, had long since reached the Yang Talisman stage.

He was, by all accounts, a master of arrays.

Although the Tenfold Blood-Melting Soul Refining Array was intricate, it had been simplified countless times.

It didn’t take long for Lu Qing to identify several array nodes on the outermost layer.

Without hesitation, he summoned his Treasure Bow from the Heaven and Earth One Qi Bag.

At this moment, the Treasure Bow in Lu Qing’s hand had taken on a new appearance.

Mysterious runes flickered faintly, and treasure light radiated from it—it was clearly extraordinary.

Lu Qing had recently become addicted to refining with the Li Huo Cauldron.

In passing, he had reforged this Treasure Bow.

Not only had he added several precious materials, but he had also layered it with multiple restrictions, greatly enhancing its quality.

It was now a true magical treasure-level Law Bow.

“Let’s see if your array can withstand my bow and arrows.”

Lu Qing’s eyes turned cold as he pulled out a rune-inscribed arrow and notched it on the bow.

Since the Treasure Bow had been reforged, naturally the arrows weren’t an exception.

This rune-inscribed arrow was a Law Arrow, specifically forged by Lu Qing.

A single Law Arrow was as valuable as a magical artifact.

This was why Lu Qing had been so determined to obtain the Li Huo Cauldron in the first place.

With this sect treasure of the Li Huo Sect, crafting items had become remarkably convenient for him.

With this spiritual tool at his disposal, as long as he had enough materials, he could continuously forge magical artifacts and treasures.

Recently, Lu Qing’s expertise in crafting had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Notching the arrow on the bow, Lu Qing began to draw the string.

The Treasure Bow, now a magical treasure, had become much stronger. Even an Inborn Realm expert would struggle to pull it back.

But for Lu Qing, whose physical strength had reached the level of radiating treasure light, this amount of power was nothing.

Without even assuming a proper stance, Lu Qing simply spread his legs slightly and pulled the bowstring with his arms. The bow bent into a full crescent.

Immediately, under the command of his mind, the restrictions on the bow and arrow began to glow.

The surrounding spiritual energy quickly converged, infusing into the Law Arrow.

Powerful energy brewed within.

Once the spiritual energy reached its peak, the power within the Law Arrow had grown to a level that would make any Inborn Realm cultivator shudder.

Lu Qing didn’t hesitate any longer and released the bowstring.

Thwack!

The bowstring’s tremendous sound echoed, causing the air around Lu Qing to explode.

Driven by immense force, the Law Arrow instantly turned into a stream of light, piercing through the air before him.

It flew diagonally upward, heading towards the Prefecture City.

This time, Lu Qing employed a parabolic shooting technique.

At the same time, a wisp of his spiritual consciousness was attached to the Law Arrow.

The arrow soared high, reaching a peak above the Prefecture City.

Then, under the guidance of Lu Qing’s mind, the arrowhead turned downward and accelerated, diving towards the Prefecture City.

Xingzhui, the secret technique of the arrow!

As Lu Qing channeled his spiritual energy, the restrictions within the Law Arrow activated, accelerating the arrow layer by layer. By the time it reached the black formation screen covering the city, its speed had reached an extreme.

The power imbued within the arrow was overwhelming.

Though the black formation screen was formidable, in the face of this arrow, it was as fragile as paper.

The arrow pierced through instantly, and a thunderous explosion rang out from within the city.

Lu Qing immediately sensed that the black formation screen ahead had faltered, its power weakening slightly.

“I might have overestimated the strength of this formation.”

Lu Qing rubbed his chin, surprised.

He had expected the black formation screen to put up more of a fight, perhaps requiring some effort to break through.

But he hadn’t anticipated that a single arrow would be enough to destroy a formation node so easily.

“Xiaolangjun, the power of that arrow could even make a Foundation Establishment cultivator hesitate to face it directly. This formation spreads its power too thin across the entire Prefecture City, so it’s no wonder it couldn’t block the attack,” said Yan with a cheerful tone.

However, Yan was still amazed by Lu Qing’s mastery of archery.

The precision of that arrow was extraordinary, managing to strike the formation node with pinpoint accuracy even through such a vast array.

Such archery skill rivaled that of cultivators who specialized in the Way of the Bow at the Foundation Establishment level.

How many more abilities did this Lu Qing possess that Yan hadn’t seen?

“Whether it blocks or not, that’s a good thing for us.”

A smile appeared on Lu Qing’s face. With a thought, three more Law Arrows appeared in his hand, and he notched them onto the bow simultaneously.

Since the strength of the black formation screen had been tested, there was no need to hold back anymore.

As Lu Qing directed his mind, the three Law Arrows once again began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

Just as Lu Qing was preparing his second wave of attacks, inside a luxurious mansion within the Prefecture City, an enraged roar suddenly echoed.

“Who dares to destroy my formation nodes?!”

An overwhelming aura burst forth, shattering the room around the figure, revealing a disheveled individual with a black bone sword floating before him.

What was even more terrifying was that blood-colored mist continuously emerged around the black bone sword, being absorbed into the weapon.

This caused the sword to emanate an even more sinister and dreadful aura.

“Heavenly Demon Lord, what has happened?”

Sensing the disturbance, several figures appeared, kneeling outside the ruined room, their faces filled with fear.

Had Wei Xinghe been present, he would have noticed that these figures, like Wei Zihao, had the same eerie black runes on their faces and exposed arms, adding to their grotesque and terrifying appearance.

“Someone is trying to destroy the array. The attack is coming from outside the city. Go immediately and kill them!”

Before the Heavenly Demon Lord’s voice had even faded, three more explosions echoed from the city.

The disheveled figure trembled as the blood-colored mist around the black bone sword dissipated by one-third.

“Damn it! Go now! If you can’t kill the intruder, then bring me your heads!” the Heavenly Demon Lord snarled, his face twisted with fury.

“Yes, Heavenly Demon Lord!”

The figures trembled in fear, not daring to delay. They immediately disappeared from the mansion, using their body techniques to swiftly rush towards the outskirts of the city.

This left the disheveled figure alone, his eyes filled with uncertainty.

“Who could it be? To break four nodes of the Tenfold Blood-Melting Soul Refining Array with such ease...

Even though I’ve simplified this formation many times, this should still be beyond the comprehension of mere mortals from this world!”

As the Heavenly Demon Lord pondered, three more deafening explosions suddenly rang out.

Once again, his body shook, and the blood mist around the black bone sword diminished by another third.
