I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1297: 792: Before the Sky Punishment Platform, the Evil Demon Finally Appears! (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Moreover, the foe boasts a cultivation at the Perfect Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation level.
Provided that the two vice alliance hierarchs, secluded for a thousand years, fail to appear, it's fair to say no one in the entire Holy Alliance can truly hold him in check.
Regarding the Alliance Hierarch himself, that figure hasn't released any orders or overseen alliance matters in ten thousand years.
The shift in Elder Ce's face didn't go unnoticed by Lei Tian.
Feeling a bit pleased, he cast his eyes toward the heavens before declaring, “The time draws near—get ready for the execution.”
Following his order, a bald elder soared onto the Sky Punishment Platform and pulled out a cloth sack, giving it a simple shake.
Over a dozen forms tumbled out from the sack under his motion, landing harshly on the platform.
These were captives with tangled hair, gaunt frames, and shackles binding their shoulders.
“Are these the betrayers from the announcement, the ones scheming with evil demons and turning against the Human Race?”
“How did they muster such boldness?”
“Word is, most come from the Qiankun Sect.”
“Beyond that, their own sect master of Qiankun Sect surrendered them personally. Rumor has it one elder at the Primordial Spirit Realm in the sect opposed it, clashed with him, and escaped while injured.”
“That sect master of Qiankun Sect sure shows firm resolve.”
“Yet these are just Golden Core Realm disciples— what sort of evil demon could they ally with to provoke such a decree from the Holy Alliance?”
“It's linked to the conflict at Tianshu Divine Mountain from years back.”
“Ah, that explains it; in that fight, our Human Race suffered heavy losses among Primordial Spirit Great Powers.”
…
Witnessing the spectacle atop the Sky Punishment Platform, the cultivators gathered below erupted into chatter right away.
Lu Qing caught these murmurs and pieced together that Ye Qingzhu and his group had been turned in by their sect master after all.
His eyes shifted to Five Treasure Taoist and the rest, starting to assess their states.
“Where are we?”
Ye Qingzhu and companions, ejected from the spatial cloth sack without mana to shield them, their bodies frail from torment, crashed down naturally and saw stars in agony.
Still, their feelings stayed dulled, like lifeless wood, not uttering a peep.
“Mr. Qin, Miss Ye, so you've been caught as well.”
Just then, a faint voice drifted from nearby.
“You're… Five Treasures Taoist?”
Ye Qingzhu, finding the tone vaguely known, shifted his gaze a touch to peer aside.
After scrutinizing the presence closely, his eyes flew open wide.
The other Qiankun Sect followers, overhearing the exchange,
showed a flicker of stir in their vacant stares too.
But prior to any reunion talk, a grave tone boomed overhead.
“Human Race turncoats—Five Treasure Taoist, Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, Chu Xiaojing… You've schemed with demon path fiends, striking down our core forces of Primordial Spirit Great Powers and Golden Core Realm experts. The proof stands confirmed, beyond doubt, your guilt demands the utmost doom of thunder and fire scorching the flesh, as a stark example!
And let all recall: whoever sells out the Human Race faces this very fate!”
This commanding proclamation rang out far and wide, reaching every ear within a thousand miles.
Confronted by such a dreadful sentence, Ye Qingzhu and the group remained stoic.
Even some Qiankun Sect captives displayed hints of ease on their features.
At last, escape from the endless agony in that shadowy cell, where life dragged without end or release.
For these tormented souls, dying felt like merciful freedom now.
After declaring the doom for Ye Qingzhu and company, Lei Tian held back briefly, seeming to anticipate an event.
The whole Heavenly Saint Peak sank into hush.
However, after some moments of waiting, no occurrence followed.
Noting the execution time had arrived, the watchers below wore confused looks.
Lei Tian realized the postponement couldn't drag on.
No matter if the evil demon lurked close or not, these insignificant Golden Core Realm insects had to perish this day.
At once, a glint of cruelty sparked in his gaze; he swept his arm and issued the order straight.
“Begin the execution!”
Boom!
As the words fell, thunder exploded overhead the Sky Punishment Platform.
A thunder formation gradually surfaced, crackling with electric arcs.
Its released pressure even made Primordial Spirit Realm figures among the spectators below pale.
This formation's might sent shivers through their cores.
Should it hit the Golden Core Realm convicts on the platform, survival would prove impossible.
The thunder formation sparked wildly, turning slowly while radiating dread.
Nevertheless, Ye Qingzhu and the rest displayed no terror, gazing upward with faces of quiet surrender.
Given its fearsome force, maybe death would come without torment.
Boom!
In the end, the thunder formation spun nine full turns, amassing thunder radiance; a strike potent enough to maim a Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit streaked downward.
Ye Qingzhu and others shut their eyes on reflex, silently bracing for the end.
But after a few breaths, no searing thunder agony struck; bewildered, they peeked open their lids one by one.
There, the thunder formation looming above had vanished without trace.
A silhouette, unknown yet oddly recognizable, positioned itself in front of them.
“You… Mr. Chen?”
Spotting the half-familiar form, Ye Qingzhu trembled all over.
“Is that Brother Chen?” Next to him, Chu Xiaojing's eyes also grew round.
“My regrets to all, for the hardships you've endured—please take shelter in my magical treasure for now.”
Lu Qing offered a gentle smile, skipping details, and flicked his hand lightly.
Before Ye Qingzhu and the group could respond, he snapped the fetters on their shoulders and drew them all into the Leaving Fire Tripod.
All the while drawing them in, Lu Qing's palm divided into over ten mana threads, slipping into their Dantian to extract a lightning-flickering seal, then securing it in his grasp.
Once inside the Leaving Fire Tripod, Ye Qingzhu and companions sensed their Dantian lighten abruptly.
They realized the seal that horrifying presence had implanted in their Dantian the day before was gone.
Before regaining composure, Lu Qing's words echoed from the lofty heights.
“Five Treasures Taoist, Miss Ye, rest and recover within my magical treasure's realm; I'll seek justice for you shortly.”
“Little Yan, Little Li, provide healing elixirs for Miss Ye and the others to take.”
“Yes, brother.”
A cheerful reply chimed in, and this time Ye Qingzhu and the rest discovered themselves in a hall-like domain.
Enveloped in magical treasure's soft light, a maiden of ethereal grace drew near.
Trailing her were a dark little creature and a pair of snakes.
As they stood puzzled, Little Li shifted form and bounded up to them.
At the same moment, a voice echoed in their thoughts: “What, you don't know me anymore?”
“Little Li, you?!”
Beholding Little Li's new shape, Ye Qingzhu and the others stared in shock.
With Little Li present, it confirmed their rescuer was truly Mr. Chen?
“Your forms are badly worn out—start with elixirs to mend and restore, we'll cover the rest soon.”
Little Li pawed the air, sending over a dozen jade vials toward Ye Qingzhu and company.
Though brimming with queries, feeling their bodies' frailty, they accepted the vials meekly, extracted the pills, and commenced recovery.
Noting the group settle into quiet mending, Little Li turned her focus outward instead.
The true spectacle, the one gripping her most, unfolded beyond.
“What was that?”
“Did my eyes deceive me? Someone just gulped down the thunder radiance whole and smashed the thunder formation with a single blow?”
“Who has the nerve to snatch folks from the Sky Punishment Platform—such daring!”
“Might this be the evil demon itself?”
Outdoors, the throng of cultivators at Heavenly Saint Peak's base froze in awe.
They'd seen those Golden Core Realm betrayers on the verge of thunder's lethal strike, only for a shape to flash beneath the bolt.
It parted its jaws, devouring the fearsome thunder radiance outright.
Then, with a lax motion, it scattered the thunder formation's dread might—one even Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit Great Powers would hesitate to challenge.
This abrupt twist left the crowd utterly thunderstruck.
