Chapter 352 of "I Can See Through Everything" begins revealing exciting developments: Chapter 355“Damn it!” When the disheveled figure saw that a third of the blood mist surrounding... Don’t stop now!

Chapter 355“Damn it!” When the disheveled figure saw that a third of the blood mist surrounding the black bone sword had dissipated, he immediately flew into a rage. This black bone sword was a treasure he had gone through countless hardships to obtain, even going so far as to destroy the Qingyun Sword Sect to snatch it. That day, using a breath marker he had left in advance, he spent some time tracking down the disciples of the sword sect who had fled. Sure enough, from one of the disciples, he found the treasure. To his surprise, what he had originally thought to be a mere murderous, almost demonic sword artifact turned out to be far more than that. The black bone sword was actually forged from the bones of an Ancient Demon from tens of thousands of years ago. However, after such a long passage of time, the original demonic nature of the Ancient Demon had mostly been worn away. This was why the founding ancestor of the Qingyun Sword Sect had been able to control it without succumbing to the demonic path. But even though the ancestor did not fall into the demonic path, he was not someone to be trifled with. He had a fiercely murderous temperament, and with his powerful swordsmanship and the black bone sword in hand, he had swept through the world for a time. Ultimately, he founded the powerful sword sect, Qingyun Sword Sect. However, because the sword was so infused with demonic nature, without an extraordinarily strong will, it was impossible to suppress the demonic energy within, leading to mental damage and an easy fall into the demonic path. Thus, after the death of the founding ancestor, several successive wielders of the bone sword all suffered from mental deterioration and madness. In the end, the Qingyun Sword Sect decided to seal the sword completely. Except for the sect master, no one knew of its whereabouts. The disheveled figure had heard his master mention the treasure long ago, before his true consciousness had awakened, but he had never seen the sword itself. It was only after obtaining it that he realized this was no ordinary demonic artifact, but a weapon with a significant history, crafted from the bones of an Ancient Demon. Upon discovering this, the disheveled figure was ecstatic. What is an Ancient Demon? It was a demonic god born from the evolution of demonic energy during the creation of a world. Its demonic origins were far purer than even his own, despite being a reincarnated great demon. So, the moment he acquired the black bone sword, the disheveled figure decided he had to devour it. Once he did, not only would he be able to fully cultivate the demonic body he had long dreamed of, but he would also reach a new level of power. More importantly, after devouring the sword and obtaining the demonic origin within, he would no longer be targeted by the Will of Heaven in this world. This was because the Ancient Demon, originally birthed by the world's source, would no longer be rejected. However, the Ancient Demon had perished a long time ago, and the demonic source within the bone sword had dwindled to just a trace. It needed to be nurtured and strengthened before it could be devoured. Thus, after obtaining the bone sword, the disheveled figure immediately decided to use the Blood Refining Method to cultivate and strengthen the demonic source within the sword. Just as he was pursuing those Qingyun Sword Sect disciples, he arrived at Cangzhou, not far from the provincial capital. Therefore, instead of killing those disciples, he used his demonic arts to confuse and corrupt their minds, turning them into his pawns. Over the course of several months, he set up array nodes throughout the provincial capital and activated the grand array. He planned to use the flesh and souls of the entire city’s inhabitants to nurture and strengthen the demonic source within the bone sword, making it ripe for consumption. Everything was going smoothly, until now—unexpectedly, something had gone wrong. Someone had managed to see through the profound mysteries of his array and easily destroyed several of the array nodes. “This is just a remote, insignificant province. At most, there should be only about ten or so Precelestial experts. How could there be someone capable of breaking my array? Could it be the interference of the Will of Heaven again?” The disheveled figure’s face turned ashen. He had deliberately chosen to conduct the blood sacrifice in the provincial capital of Cangzhou, knowing that it was a remote area with few experts. The strongest person here would only be a mid-level Precelestial expert, someone no match for him. Moreover, due to the area's isolation, any calls for reinforcements would take a long time to reach here. Yet to his surprise, not long after the array had been activated, someone had already come to disrupt it, destroying several array nodes in quick succession. This made the disheveled figure suspect that the detestable Will of Heaven was at play again. “Damn the Will of Heaven! Just wait. Once I devour this Ancient Demon bone and perfect my demonic body, I will crush you as well!” With the array nodes destroyed, the condensation of the blood mist slowed by a third, causing the disheveled figure to become furious. Originally, he could have completed the blood sacrifice of the entire city within a day, but now it would take three times longer, introducing many variables. How could he not be angry? If not for the fact that he needed to maintain the grand array and couldn't leave just yet, he would have stormed out of the city to find out who dared to ruin his plans! Fortunately, after sensing that his servants had left the city, the array nodes were no longer being destroyed, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. However, he knew that since someone had already interfered, there would likely be more changes to come. Without further delay, he concentrated his mind. His previously pale face suddenly flushed red. In the next moment, the black light array covering the provincial capital began to operate, conjuring countless serpents of black energy that shot downward. “Not good! Those eerie serpents are back!” In the city, those who had been watching the black light array above were immediately filled with dread at this sight. Just like before, the black light array overhead began to form many black serpents from the condensed black energy. Anyone touched by these serpents, whether they were powerful martial artists or frail women and children, without exception, would have their blood and souls drained, turning them into withered corpses. Now that they were seeing the serpents descend once more, how could they not be terrified? Panic spread throughout the entire provincial capital, and countless people began to scream and wail in fear. “Can someone tell me, what are those things?!” In the city lord’s mansion, several Precelestial experts gathered, watching the descending serpents of black energy in shock. The city lord himself, after slashing down one of the black energy serpents that had landed in the mansion and painstakingly using his Precelestial True Qi to destroy it, furiously asked. “City Lord, even I have never seen such a thing before. I truly don’t know what this is,” said a scholarly elder with white hair, smiling bitterly. If Lu Qing were here, he would recognize this elder as the Lin Family Patriarch. The other Precelestial experts were equally baffled, unable to identify the origin of this black energy. “Everyone, I know what this is!” At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared before the group, startling the city lord and the others. This person had moved so quickly that they hadn’t even noticed the signs of his approach. “Who are you?!” Several guards immediately rushed forward, intending to apprehend the newcomer. However, the moment the man released a wave of his aura, the guards were forced to retreat in fear, their faces pale. Precelestial Realm! The newcomer was a powerful figure on par with their city lord. “And who might you be?” the city lord asked after his initial surprise. Upon noticing that the man's cultivation wasn’t far superior to theirs, he relaxed slightly. “I am Wei Xinghe, the head of the Wei Family from Cang County. Greetings, City Lord, and esteemed guests,” Wei Xinghe said, cupping his hands in respect. “So it’s the head of the Wei Family. I hadn’t expected you to have reached the Precelestial Realm. Congratulations,” the city lord remarked, surprised. The other Precelestial experts exchanged astonished glances. The Wei Family was well-known in Cangzhou, despite being rooted in the smaller Cang County. The Wei Family's ancestor, Wei Shanhai, was a well-established Precelestial expert known throughout the region. But none of them had anticipated that the current head of the Wei Family, Wei Xinghe, had also stepped into the Precelestial Realm. With two Precelestial experts, the Wei Family's status in Cangzhou was bound to rise. However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on this. The city lord quickly asked, “Head Wei, you mentioned earlier that you knew the origin of the black light array in the sky. Is that true?” “Yes,” Wei Xinghe nodded. “The black light above us is the result of a sinister array set up by a powerful evil cultivator in secret.” “That evil cultivator has placed this array to perform a blood sacrifice on the entire population of the provincial capital, in order to refine his demonic arts.” “What? A blood sacrifice of the entire city’s population to refine demonic arts?!” Everyone gasped in horror at Wei Xinghe’s words. Although they had sensed the danger of the black light array, none of them had expected it to be so terrifying. “Head Wei, is there any way to break this array?” the city lord urgently asked. Everyone else also looked to Wei Xinghe for answers. Earlier, they had tried to break the black light array themselves, but the array was too high up for them to reach. Even their attacks, whether from sword or blade energy, were swallowed up by the array without a trace. It didn’t even tremble from their strikes. “The city lord gives me too much credit,” Wei Xinghe said, shaking his head, giving them an answer that left them disappointed. “I don’t have the skills to break such a grand array.” But his next words immediately reignited their hope. “However, there is a great master outside the city, currently attempting to dismantle the array.” “With him here, I believe it won’t be long before the array is destroyed.” “So, City Lord, there is no need for you or the others to worry too much.” “There’s a great master outside the city working to break the array?” The group perked up, their spirits lifting as they turned to Wei Xinghe with looks of surprise and delight. “Indeed. You must have heard the loud explosions earlier. Those were the sounds of that master breaking the array.” They recalled hearing several loud noises earlier, but their attention had been so focused on the black light array that they hadn’t given it much thought at the time. “Head Wei, are you certain that this master can break the array?” one of the Precelestial experts couldn’t help but ask. “I cannot guarantee it one hundred percent, but I can say this: if even he cannot break the array, then I fear no one in this world can save us. In that case, we might as well resign ourselves to our fate.” Wei Xinghe’s confident words were oddly reassuring, and the group relaxed slightly. “In that case, Head Wei, is there anything we can do to help?” the city lord asked. “Leave the matter of breaking the array to the master outside,” Wei Xinghe replied. “However, City Lord, this master is a benevolent man who detests needless slaughter. He has risked his life to come here and break the array for the sake of the city’s people.” “But now, these black serpents of qi are ravaging the city, claiming countless innocent lives.” “I fear we must take action ourselves to hold them off. If that master were to enter the city after breaking the array and find that we had done nothing to protect the citizens, he may not be pleased.” “Of course,” the city lord agreed without hesitation. “As the lord of this city, it is my duty to protect its people.” The other Precelestial experts exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. “This is a righteous act. Naturally, we must join in,” one of them said. “Then let’s waste no time. We’ll head out at once,” Wei Xinghe said, his face lighting up with approval. Originally, he had intended to hide somewhere, waiting for Lu Qing to break the array. But after witnessing the sight of the withered corpses of the city’s inhabitants, drained by the black energy serpents, he could no longer stand idly by. If even those like them, Precelestial experts, only cared for their own safety and hid away, then the city’s people would truly have no hope of survival. Even if Lu Qing succeeded in breaking the array, by the time he did, who knew how many lives would have been lost to the serpents. Thus, upon sensing the city lord and the others, Wei Xinghe had rushed over immediately, intending to persuade them to fight against the black energy serpents alongside him. While Wei Xinghe and the others began their efforts to combat the serpents within the city, outside the city, Lu Qing was also facing an assault. He had just drawn three more magic arrows from his Heaven and Earth One Qi Bag, preparing to destroy more of the array nodes. Suddenly, he saw several figures emerge from the city, moving rapidly toward him. “Four Precelestial experts? No, something’s off. They don’t have the aura of true Precelestial experts.” Lu Qing’s gaze sharpened in surprise as he observed the approaching figures. Although they moved with the speed of Precelestial experts, he couldn’t sense the distinct Precelestial essence from their bodies. Instead, what he did sense was a deeply unpleasant aura. The four figures moved incredibly fast and reached Lu Qing in just a few breaths. When they saw the bow in his hand, their faces filled with killing intent. “It’s him! Kill him!” Without giving Lu Qing a chance to speak, the four figures surged with black runes and charged at him with their weapons. “Puppets? No, that’s not quite right.” Lu Qing’s eyes narrowed when he saw the runes on their faces and arms. But there was no time for further thought. Their attacks were already upon him. “Interesting.” A faint smile appeared on Lu Qing’s face. Just as their weapons were about to strike him, his eyes flashed, and a golden light flickered around his body. In an instant, the four figures froze mid-attack, their bodies suspended less than three feet from Lu Qing, unable to move. The force of their charge was completely absorbed, causing each of them to cough up blood as they suffered severe internal injuries. Their eyes widened in shock. But before they could comprehend what had happened, Lu Qing clenched his fist and delivered a powerful blow. Table of content
