I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 179: Chapter 131: Critical Injury Hard to Treat, the Astute Xiao Tian_2

“I don’t know what force Holy Mountain holds, to be able to restrict the immensely powerful Innate Realm!”

“Thank goodness such a ban exists, otherwise, we might all be dead by now; that momentum earlier was truly terrifying.”

“Indeed, my heart was pounding so hard earlier. If those two had really started fighting, I fear half the County would have been destroyed, right?”

“And what force does Tianji Building belong to?”

…

Due to the power of the Holy Mountain sect, they hadn’t completely evacuated the County, so the residents dared not talk loudly about it.

...
However, private discussions were inevitable.

Thus, before long, discussions about the great battle had spread throughout the entire County.

At the same time, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a huge sigh of relief.

There was no helping it; when the two great Innate Realm powers clashed earlier, the might was truly too fearsome.

The entire city had been silent then, not daring to even breathe.

No one wished for those two to truly start fighting, because, after their battle, who knew if they would still be able to survive?

Now that everyone knew fighting was not allowed casually in the city among the Innate Realm, everyone felt genuinely relieved.

In these discussions, one person, as he listened, couldn’t help but show a joyful expression on his face.

But soon, he quickly concealed his joy and pretended as if nothing special had happened, joining the discussions with others.

The next morning, after disguising himself a bit, he followed the crowd and quietly slipped out of the city.

After leaving the city, he changed his route several times, even staying the night at his brother-in-law’s house in the countryside, ensuring that no one was following him before he headed toward Jiuli Village.

Upon arriving at Jiuli Village, he went straight to Lu Qing’s house and saw Lu Qing practicing his punches in the courtyard.

“Young Master Lu!”

“Brother Tian?”

Lu Qing looked up, a bit surprised.

According to Ma Gu’s instructions, shouldn’t Tian and the others have dispersed and hidden after dealing with the corpses of the Black Wolf Gang? Why would he appear here?

“Brother Tian, why are you here?”

Lu Qing felt a chill in his heart. Had something happened?

“Young Master Lu, something big happened in the city these past two days, I specifically came to tell you,” Tian said with some excitement.

Indeed!

Lu Qing’s expression became serious, “Come in, let’s talk inside.”

Inside the house, Little Yan hadn’t woken up yet, and the table was set with freshly made breakfast.

The steaming aroma made Tian involuntarily swallow.

He had gotten up very early that morning and hadn’t had the chance to eat at his brother-in-law’s place before rushing here.

“Brother Tian, did you have breakfast yet? Why not eat something here?”

Lu Qing noticed his motion and asked.

“No need, I have something important to tell you first,” Tian shook his head, insisting.

“All right, then go ahead.”

Lu Qing didn’t press further, seeing how serious Tian was; evidently, something important had happened in the city.

Could it be that the Holy Mountain sect and the Wei Family had finally started fighting?

Just as this thought crossed Lu Qing’s mind, he heard Tian start speaking.

“Just the day before yesterday, those foreign martial artists in the city officially declared war on the Wei Family. They gathered many martial artists and launched a direct attack on Wei Mansion…”

Tian’s first sentence already made Lu Qing’s heart tremble.

However, as Tian continued recounting, his expression gradually turned into astonishment.

“Just like that, the two great Innate Masters ended up not fighting after all, allowing us to escape a disaster. I took the opportunity to slip out of the city to tell you about it.”

After hearing Tian’s account, Lu Qing fell into a long silence.

There was no helping it; Tian’s words contained too much information, and he needed to sort it out first.

Seeing him in silence, Tian did not interrupt, quietly waiting.

He knew Young Master Lu was no ordinary person and understood far more than him.

He didn’t need to say much, he just needed to wait for his thoughts.

However, during the wait, Xiao Tian, smelling the aroma of the food on the table, felt hungrier by the moment.

Finally, his stomach uncontrollably growled.

This sound also startled Lu Qing from his thoughts.

He looked at the somewhat embarrassed Xiao Tian and smiled, “Brother Tian, don’t be shy, go ahead and eat something.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

This time, Xiao Tian did not hesitate and picked up a steamed bun to eat.

After he finished two buns and drank a bowl of porridge, Lu Qing then asked, “Brother Tian, you mentioned that those in the Innate Realm are not to freely attack those below Innate, nor battle within the city—is that certain?”

“Certain!” Xiao Tian nodded seriously, “This was personally stated by that official from the Tianji Building when those two Innate Realm experts were about to fight. He rushed into the Wei Mansion and proclaimed it to be a decree from the Holy Mountain, heard by the entire city.

And in the end, those two Innate Realm experts really didn’t fight, and the foreign one left angrily.”

Lu Qing’s fingers gently tapped on the tabletop.

He hadn’t expected that there were such decrees for the Innate Realm.

What place was this Holy Mountain?

It could restrain the Innate Realm powers of the world, and it seemed, those Innate Realm individuals also did not dare to publicly defy it.

What level of terrifying force must it be to have such a deterrent power?

It appeared that this world indeed held many secrets, harboring numerous formidable forces unknown to the people.

Even becoming an Innate Realm Expert did not guarantee one could act as they pleased.

However, this decree was beneficial for the present Lu Qing.

It at least gave him more confidence in dealing with Wang Cangyi.

Of course, this did not mean Lu Qing was not wary of Wang Cangyi anymore.

A cornered dog will leap over a wall, and those in the Innate Realm were not made of clay, anyone who could cultivate to such a realm was proud and independent.

If he truly angered the other and invoked a murderous intent, any decree would be meaningless.

If someone really wanted to kill, it was just a matter of intention.

Could that so-called Holy Mountain revive a dead person at that point?

Therefore, a proper reverence for the Innate Realm was still necessary.

“Young Master Lu, now that the Wei Family elder has returned and resolved their crisis, when can Master Ma come back?” asked Xiao Tian, a perceptive man.

Although he hadn’t seen Mrs. Wei and her son with his own eyes when he was in that large estate at the fair,

from various clues and the events that followed, he had guessed some connections.

He knew that his master’s disappearance was likely related to the Wei Family’s matriarch and young son.

“This matter is not urgent; you also said that the mysterious Innate Realm individual before leaving stated he would not rest easily. Clearly, the situation in the county is still tense; under these circumstances, it is not suitable for Master Ma to appear, especially since where he is now is very safe,” Lu Qing said.

Xiao Tian thought so too and did not inquire further.

As long as he knew Master Ma was fine, that was enough.

After eating, Xiao Tian took his leave.

He wanted to return to the county to continue gathering information.

To this, Lu Qing could only advise him to be careful.

After Xiao Tian left, Lu Qing went to wake Little Yan from her bed, helped her wash up, have breakfast, and then took her and Little Li to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

The news brought by Xiao Tian was very important.

Especially the information regarding the decree for the Innate Realm; he had to inform his master.

Upon reaching Half Mountain Small Courtyard, his master was just drying herbs.

After Lu Qing relayed the news brought by Xiao Tian to his master,

he then asked, “Master, having traveled for many years, have you ever heard of this decree, or the forces of the Holy Mountain and Tianji Building?”

The elder doctor, after listening to Lu Qing’s words, was quite surprised.

Upon hearing his question, he seemed a bit lost.

He shook his head and said, “I have never heard of these two names, nor have I heard of such a decree.”
