I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1361 - 826: Comeback, Reluctance

Under the intense stares of the white-haired elder and the alluring beauty, the woman in white remained undaunted, boldly confronting them through her words.

The white-haired elder let out a deep sigh, "Sect Master Lin, why utter such words? Believe it or not, our Netherworld Palace has never held any malice toward your Kongming Sect."

"Precisely, furthermore, we are merely divine thought avatars. Engaging in combat here serves no purpose; at worst, it costs a single divine thought," the alluring beauty remarked coolly.

She genuinely yearned to punish the other woman properly.

That wretched woman constantly singled her out, branding her a demoness at every opportunity, an irritation that had festered within her for a long time.

Nevertheless, she understood that battling in this location would yield nothing.

At their cultivation realm, any confrontations were bound to stretch out endlessly.

Only destroying the actual body would matter; otherwise, the loss of one or two divine thought avatars was negligible and wouldn't harm their core essence.

"It appears you lack the guts to strike after all, truly as cowardly as a rat. Skulking in the darkness for so long has dwindled your bravery to mere rodent size. Outnumbered two to one, yet you still hesitate, Qing Xii, let us depart."

The woman in white, unsurprisingly, placed no faith in their assurances.

With a chilly scoff, she swept her sleeve, enveloping Qing Xii and Yu Jian in vortexes of spatial energy, before her form faded from view.

"That wretched woman!"

Hearing the woman in white's final taunt, the alluring beauty exploded in anger and at once lamented not having disciplined her.

"Cease this, Master Mu, why indulge in futile quarrels? Should we truly clash here and that individual returns, could you even face him? From his bearing, he clearly harbors strong dissatisfaction toward us."

The white-haired elder's remark abruptly made the alluring beauty falter.

As for Lu Qing, she harbored deep unease indeed.

Should he come back, her divine thought avatar would be completely helpless.

Following a brief silence, the alluring beauty muttered grudgingly, "How can a freak like that emerge in this realm? How did he amass such might without having entered the Harmony Stage?"

Contemplating the formidable display Lu Qing had shown earlier, the alluring beauty was seized by profound despair.

Were Lu Qing already at the Harmony Stage, her fears wouldn't run so deep.

Yet, before achieving Harmonization, he already wielded Harmony Stage-level power, a prospect that chilled her to the bone.

She struggled to fathom the extent of Lu Qing's strength once he genuinely attained the Harmony Stage.

"Heaven knows, prodigies like him always shatter conventions, far beyond what average minds can grasp," the white-haired elder sighed.

His eyes held profound depths, concealing turbulent unspoken schemes.

Noting his demeanor, the alluring beauty's suspicions deepened.

"Old Ghost Qiu, it seems you possess some insight; are you concealing it from me?"

"Master Mu overthinks matters," the white-haired elder merely denied, shaking his head.

However, the now-wary alluring beauty refused to be dismissed so simply.

Still, she held back from probing further, simply heightening her inner caution.

The Netherworld Palace's legacy stretches back much further than their Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal.

It stands as one of the eldest powers across this vast starry expanse.

Its grasp on the realm's hidden truths undoubtedly eclipses theirs.

Despite their present alliance, she had to stay alert against treachery from these sly operators.

"It's concluded at last; who'd imagine that Kongming Sect, Netherworld Palace, and Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal also conceal Harmony Stage powerhouses within the Heavenly Origin Great World."

Beyond the world's barrier, the middle-aged man with golden eyes released a heavy sigh.

In truth, the abrupt emergence of the woman in white had stunned him profoundly.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Mo Cangtian and those fiends from the Black and White Temple, countless premier organizations had covertly infiltrated Harmony Stage masters into the Heavenly Origin Great World.

And every one was a battle-hardened Harmony Stage cultivator, their profound realms poised to overwhelm him and Luo Yuantian, who lingered only at the Harmony Initial Stage.

"Evidently, this person achieved something extraordinary amid the starry voids before venturing into the Heavenly Origin Great World; else, he wouldn't draw the collective gaze of so many elite sects."

Luo Yuantian appeared equally grave.

He had initially assumed Lu Qing's affront to the Black and White Temple had spurred Mo Cangtian and his cohort into pursuit.

Yet now, the reality seemed vastly more tangled than anticipated.

Suddenly, anxiety gripped Luo Yuantian.

Following this setback, the Black and White Temple's subsequent moves remained unpredictable.

Coupled with the lingering presence of the woman in white and her allies inside the Heavenly Origin Great World, the near future's developments were impossible to foresee.

Would the Human Race endure the mounting strain?

As Luo Yuantian's worries mounted, from a different vantage along the world membrane, Mo Cangtian hovered aloft, his visage stern, attuned to the stirrings inside the Heavenly Origin Great World.

"As anticipated, the Netherworld Palace has masterminded it all from the shadows."

The sudden arrival of the white-haired elder and his companions instantly dispelled a nagging doubt that had plagued Mo Cangtian.

Earlier, amid the steady influx of intelligence on Lu Qing, he had already detected underhanded machinations at play.

But urgency to hunt down Lu Qing had left him without bandwidth for deeper scrutiny.

Now, witnessing the white-haired elder's intervention, his hunch was thoroughly validated.

"You old schemers, what devious plans does your Netherworld Palace harbor?"

Mo Cangtian's countenance soured even more.

He already seethed from the debacle involving three Harmony Stage experts in unison.

Uncovering this backstage intrigue now, maintaining poise proved nearly impossible.

Nonetheless, for all his wrath, Mo Cangtian couldn't charge in for a showdown just yet.

His divine thought avatar lay in ruins; though not deadly, it had mildly eroded his Divine Soul.

Moreover, forging a divine thought avatar demanded intricacy, and even in his exalted state, crafting a flawless one needed no less than seven days.

In essence, over the ensuing seven days, reentering the Heavenly Origin Great World lay beyond his reach.

Hence, after a stretch of quiet brooding, Mo Cangtian reined in his rage, settling into a cross-legged pose within the vacuum, commencing the forging of a replacement avatar.

A full day elapsed before Mo Cangtian keenly perceived two spatial undulations manifesting nearby.

He lifted his gaze, beholding two well-known silhouettes.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister."

The hooked-nose elder and the gray-robed old woman had reemerged.

Yet, the emanations they projected this time dwarfed the dread of their former divine thought avatars in ferocity.

Plainly, they had arrived bearing their authentic forms.

"Tell me, have you located that devil's trail?"

No sooner had they materialized than the hooked-nose elder demanded.

"I haven't a clue. Once that youngster claimed the Dark Treasure Pearl, he evaporated. His prowess in masking his aura is unparalleled; his position eludes my detection," Mo Cangtian replied, shaking his head.

"The Treasure Pearl truly landed with him?" The hooked-nose elder's spirits plummeted.

"Affirmative, and subsequent to the world's divine thought avatar's demise, Lin Caiyu of Kongming Sect, Old Ghost Qiu of Netherworld Palace, and Mu Demoness of Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal materialized, striking up a bond with that youth."

Mo Cangtian detailed every observation he had made.

"These filthy lurkers have indeed been skulking about the whole time!"

The hooked-nose elder's features hardened.

While he had pondered hidden observers among the experts, the scale of major factions involved had eluded his expectations.

Recalling their rout by Lu Qing, observed by countless eyes, his scowl deepened.

"Such concerns are inconsequential," the gray-robed old woman interjected. "Senior Brother, how shall we proceed? Should the Treasure Pearl remain with that boy and word reach the temple master, punishment awaits us."

The mere invocation of the temple master visibly rattled the hooked-nose elder.

Despite sharing the Harmony Stage, the temple master's presence evoked an unfathomable terror that gripped his heart.

Should the temple master discover this matter and erupt in fury, he recoiled from envisioning the fallout.

"At any expense, we must reclaim the Treasure Pearl!" the hooked-nose elder snarled, teeth gritted.
