I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1282 - 782: Situation and Killing Will
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Nangong Yuanwu, a Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse from the Nangong Family, now suffers from grave injuries, with his cultivation level having fallen back significantly.
Nevertheless, the intelligence networks he once commanded remain at his disposal.
Once he finished explaining, Lu Qing at last grasped the dire situation Nangong Yuanwu faced.
Nangong Yuanwu revealed that the Holy Alliance had branded him as the ultimate foe against all of humanity within the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Not just that, but his face adorns wanted notices across every city.
Sects and major clans alike have been issued firm directives to keep a sharp watch on his every move.
If anyone spots or even suspects his location, immediate reports are mandatory.
Nangong Yuanwu went further, noting that even the Demon Clan views him as a target for instant elimination upon encounter.
His revelations rendered the elderly servant at his side utterly silent and profoundly stunned.
Gazing upon Lu Qing, terror filled the servant's eyes.
He had no idea that the man before him was the fabled unmatched warrior who once massacred countless Golden Core Realm cultivators and Human Race Primordial Spirits atop Tianshu Divine Mountain.
It explained why he couldn't sense the other's cultivation base in the slightest; given Lu Qing's extraordinary aptitude through the years, he surely had advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm long ago.
Recalling his earlier impulse to attack this fearsome individual sent chills racing down the old servant's spine.
Even more astonishing was the fact that his master knew Lu Qing personally.
Should word of this reach the family, it would undoubtedly spark massive turmoil.
Furthermore, the rival branches that already harbored resentment toward the master might grow bolder in their schemes.
Little Yan, standing nearby, stood with her mouth agape in surprise.
She was aware her brother had racked up some foes in the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Yet she couldn't fathom that his conflicts had escalated to clashing with virtually the entire realm.
Apparently, upon returning from the Heavenly Origin Great World to their home realm, her brother had only mentioned the triumphs and skipped over the perilous aspects.
"Mr. Lu, beyond the clash at Tianshu Divine Mountain, what else did you accomplish afterward to provoke both the Holy Alliance and Demon Clan into pursuing and slaying you?"
In that instant, Nangong Yuanwu found himself compelled to inquire.
From a logical standpoint, the Tianshu Divine Mountain incident alone justified the Holy Alliance placing a bounty on Lu Qing.
However, the Demon Clan's fierce response made no sense whatsoever.
Therefore, Nangong Yuanwu concluded that unknown incidents must have occurred.
Without such hidden events, the Holy Alliance and Demon Clan's reactions wouldn't have been this intense.
"You mean even you don't know why, senior?" Lu Qing expressed mild astonishment.
Yet soon he understood that the Holy Alliance and Demon Clan had probably suppressed details of that confrontation on purpose.
Consider that ten Five Tribulation Primordial Spirits from each side united to take down a mere Primordial Spirit Initial Realm cultivator, only to suffer the loss of a Five Tribulation Demon King.
An outcome like that carried immense humiliation.
Any prominent Primordial Spirit forces involved that day would surely seek to bury the truth to preserve their reputation.
"It was no big deal; during my Primordial Spirit Tribulation, Primordial Spirit Realm experts from the Demon Clan and Holy Alliance surrounded me, so I simply wiped them out in passing."
Lu Qing described it casually, but his statement sent shockwaves through Nangong Yuanwu and the old servant's minds.
To begin with, Lu Qing had truly survived the Primordial Spirit Tribulation and entered the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Moreover, he had then eliminated yet another group of Primordial Spirit elites; it was clear now why the Holy Alliance and Demon Clan bore such intense grudge against him—the truth lay right there.
"That explains it all; I never anticipated your cultivation advancing to this extent, Mr. Lu, reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm decades back."
Nangong Yuanwu exclaimed in wonder.
Back when he guided Lu Qing into the Heavenly Origin Great World, he sensed this young man possessed exceptional potential and was destined for remarkable feats.
Still, he hadn't foreseen Lu Qing unleashing such turmoil, rattling much of the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Observing Lu Qing now, Nangong Yuanwu perceived him as an enigmatic fog, completely unable to gauge his cultivation level.
Reflecting on the years gone by, Lu Qing's progress in cultivation had undoubtedly surged ahead, probably covering vast ground within the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Nangong Yuanwu couldn't guess how many Primordial Spirit Tribulations Lu Qing had endured, but he knew for sure that Lu Qing's power surpassed his own by leaps and bounds.
"You praise me too much, senior. Apart from asking for your counsel, my visit this time was also to ensure your safety. From what I've learned, the Holy Alliance has seized numerous folks I know in the Heavenly Origin Great World."
Lu Qing ventured carefully.
"Seized by the Holy Alliance?" Nangong Yuanwu hesitated, then seemed to remember something and nodded, "Yes, rumors have reached my ears.
The Holy Alliance has indeed moved to detain certain individuals, and word is that the Gongsu family is orchestrating this affair."
As he uttered those words, Nangong Yuanwu let out a wry grin.
"Truth be told, I myself was slated for interrogation, but Hong Yun stepped in and averted that crisis."
"Miss Mo?"
Lu Qing arched a brow, caught off guard; had she risen to such prominence already?
"Yes, it's Hong Yun; you may not be aware, Mr. Lu, but during her journeys across various realms, a senior from Netherworld Palace took notice of her and accepted her as a personal disciple.
She now occupies a lofty role in Netherworld Palace, her cultivation having advanced to Golden Core Ninth Turn.
With enough time, attaining Primordial Spirit won't pose much challenge.
Because of her intervention, our connection stayed under wraps."
Mentioning Mo Hongyun brought an unstoppable grin to Nangong Yuanwu's features.
His greatest worry had always been for this niece of his.
Seeing her thrive in Netherworld Palace with such formidable support, how could he contain his delight?
"I understand now; I never thought Miss Mo would encounter such luck—truly something to rejoice over."
Lu Qing pieced together why Nangong Yuanwu remained unscathed.
In the Heavenly Origin Great World, only a behemoth like Netherworld Palace, which extends across multiple Immortal Domains, could force the Holy Alliance and Demon Clan to yield.
Yet the Gongsu family...
Lu Qing pondered Nangong Yuanwu's earlier statement, and a chill flickered in his gaze.
Since the Gongsu family was fueling this trouble from the shadows, they couldn't fault him for striking back without mercy.
Following the Five Treasure Taoist episode, Lu Qing had meant to deal with the Gongsu family down the line.
But at present, fresh plans formed in his mind.
In the time that followed, Lu Qing consulted Nangong Yuanwu on additional topics, including the whereabouts of the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison.
Though puzzled, Nangong Yuanwu disclosed everything within his knowledge.
"Mr. Lu, you're not planning to..."
Nangong Yuanwu ventured a guess yet hesitated to accept it as real.
For the notion was outrageously bold, something even elite Primordial Spirits wouldn't dare entertain.
"I was merely asking out of curiosity; many thanks for the details, senior. I have more affairs to handle, so I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."
Having obtained the intel he sought, Lu Qing stood up to part ways with Nangong Yuanwu.
"Mr. Lu, departing so soon?" Nangong Yuanwu appeared startled.
"Yes, with the Holy Alliance hunting me, staying longer would only bring trouble your way, senior."
Lu Qing pulled out a Jade Bottle from his Qiankun One Qi Bag.
"Senior, inside are a few elixirs; refining them ought to mend your wounds. Take it as my thanks. Until next time."
He set the Jade Bottle down on the table, and before Nangong Yuanwu could reply, he swung his arm, distorting the space around them, then vanished from the tavern alongside Little Yan.
"This... is the Space Shifting Technique?!"
Seeing this unfold, Nangong Yuanwu's eyes bulged wide, his face twisting in disbelief as he drew in a sharp, astonished breath.
