I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 401: Chapter 274: Glimpse of the Devil’s Trail, Hu Zezhi’s Premonition_2

“So it is,” Lu Qing nodded, recalling the information he had gleaned with his Superpower. His eyes showed a hint of solemnity.

“I hadn’t expected such a gain, an opportunity that people from the Four Great Secret Places value so highly. What exactly is it? Is it the same as the one I’ve sensed dimly in my fate?”

Ever since arriving in the Holy City, Lu Qing was certain.

The strange attraction that he and his master felt, that inexplicable force, originated from the Holy Mountain.

However, even now, standing before the Holy Mountain, he still couldn’t be certain of what exactly was drawing him and his master.

“Is the opportunity hidden too deeply, or has the right moment still not arrived?” Lu Qing contemplated to himself.

Nevertheless, the appearance of the people from the Cloud Water Secret Realm made him slightly wary.

If their target was the same obscure opportunity, then fighting over it would likely not be easy.

Moreover, with the people from the Cloud Water Secret Realm already here, the others from the remaining three secret places would undoubtedly not be far behind.

“It seems that if my master and I want to vie for the opportunity, we will need to plan carefully.”

With that in mind, Lu Qing said, “Mr. Zhi Rui, now that the excitement is over, should we return? We came in haste and have yet to find an inn to stay in.”

“You haven’t found a place to stay? Perfect, the place where I am staying has an empty courtyard nearby. If you don’t mind, you could stay there for the time being.”

“How could I impose… Well, that will be troubling Mr. Zhi Rui.”

Lu Qing intended to decline, but then he thought that inns were mixed places. Now, not only did he have Little Yan with him, but also Hu Zezhi, who was a potential source of trouble.

Staying at an inn was bound to be problematic, so he nodded in agreement.

“I’ll have someone arrange everything right after I get back!”

Seeing Lu Qing agree, Lin Zhirui immediately brightened up.

He added, “Honestly, martial artists from all over the world have flocked to the Holy City, and the inns are already filled to capacity. It would not be easy for you to find lodging.

Staying with us at the Tianji Building is not only safe, but also quiet, and you are less likely to be disturbed.”

“Since Mr. Zhi Rui has put it that way, we shall graciously accept,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

Thereupon, the group began to make their way towards the city center, having seen enough excitement for the time being.

As for what would happen to Bai Bufan and others afterward, they were no longer interested in finding out.

“Hmm?”

As they entered the city, Lu Qing suddenly felt an alarm in his heart and swiftly glanced toward a corner.

However, when he looked there, he saw only a flicker of black clothing disappearing around a corner with no figure in sight.

Yet, that one glance eased Lu Qing’s heart considerably.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, “So, someone is indeed watching us. Is it because of Miss Hu’s Tribulation Qi, or are they targeting us?

But as long as you don’t show yourself, all is well. Now that you’ve given yourself away, everything will be much easier.”

Since it was only a guess, Lu Qing didn’t say anything directly and continued towards the Tianji Building.

Meanwhile, in a corner of another street, a figure in a Black Robe, was in a state of shock.

“What’s going on, how did that boy detect me? Was it chance, or did he actually notice something?”

The Black Robed figure was relieved about the earlier situation.

Had his reaction not been quick enough, his traces might have been exposed by now.

But even with relief, he was profoundly puzzled.

He considered his own technique for concealing his aura nearly unparalleled.

Even an expert at the Great Success of Innate Realm being watched by him might not necessarily detect his gaze.

Yet, that boy was astoundingly sensitive; he had barely started tailing them and was nearly discovered.

But in his perception, that boy was clearly only a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist.

“Could it be that the boy has an Exotic Treasure capable of alerting him to someone else’s tracking?”

The figure in the Black Robe suddenly considered a possibility.

He knew that thousands of years ago, the practice of Cultivation had flourished, giving rise to an Immortal Dao civilization. It had gradually declined and disappeared as the Spiritual Energy faded.

However, while the cultivators had vanished, some of their Magical Treasures and Magic Artifacts had survived.

Now, as the world changed and the Spiritual Energy began to recover, those ancient treasures, nourished by the revitalized aura, were likely to regain their power.

Could it be that the lad has just the right kind of Magic Artifact for tracking?

The figure in the Black Robe pondered, and the more he thought, the more plausible it seemed.

Otherwise, he couldn’t comprehend how his technique for concealing the Heart Demon could be detected by a Postnatal Realm youngster.

“If it really is a Magic Artifact, then that’s just great. I didn’t expect such a windfall.

And those disciples from the Cloud Water Secret Realm, decades ago, I dug three feet into the ground and still couldn’t find the entrance to the Four Great Secret Places.

I never thought you would come out on your own. As long as I devour you, my Demon Body can be completely cultivated.

Then, this world will truly become something I hold in the palm of my hand!”

The figure in the Black Robe spoke with excitement, his eyes flashing with bursts of sinister dark light, which was quite terrifying.

“However, the first step is to start by swallowing up the girl with great destiny and the elder radiating the light of Merit.

After absorbing their destiny and Merit, the foundation of my Supreme Demon Body will truly be erected.

By then, with both righteous and demonic forces unified within me and transformations at my will, not even the Heavenly Dao’s will can do anything to me!”

Accompanied by murmurs, the figure in the Black Robe disappeared into a corner.

Leaving behind only a wisp of black Qi drifting in the air.

After Lu Qing and the others returned to Tianji Building, Lin Zhirui immediately had the small courtyard next to him cleaned up.

Once the courtyard was ready, Lu Qing and his companions moved in.

It was only after that Lin Zhirui excused himself, as he still had many things to take care of, such as applying for the elder doctor to have time to comprehend the Holy Pool.

“Master, on the way back just now, I noticed some strange occurrences that may be related to Miss Hu’s tribulation,” Lu Qing said seriously after Lin Zhirui had left.

“What is it?” the elder doctor’s expression became stern.

The others also turned their attention towards Lu Qing, especially Hu Zezhi, whose expression was even more nervous.

“When we entered the city just now, I noticed at a certain intersection that there was someone hiding and tracking us.

Unfortunately, that person was very alert. As soon as he realized that I had noticed him, he immediately left, and I didn’t get a clear look at him.”

As he said this, Lu Qing also felt a bit regretful.

If only the man hadn’t reacted so quickly, and he had been able to observe him for a bit longer, using his Superpower to extract information, then everything would have come to light.

“Since you couldn’t see his face clearly, Ah Qing, how can you be certain that he is related to Miss Hu’s tribulation?” asked the elder doctor.

“I can’t be completely certain, but the trace of aura he exuded then had some similarity to the Tribulation Qi on Miss Hu’s face, which is why I made that guess.”

“I see,” nodded the elder doctor. “That’s very likely indeed, that must be where Miss Hu’s tribulation lies.”

“But who is that man, and why is he targeting me when I have neither grievances nor enmity with him?” Hu Zezhi asked, puzzled.

She had lived in Azure Dragon City since she was a child, and to her knowledge had never antagonized anyone, which left her at a loss as to why someone would want to harm her.

Also, this was someone that even Mr. Lu had almost been deceived by.

Why?

The elder doctor and Lu Qing exchanged glances, with an answer already in their minds.

The most special thing about Hu Zezhi was her thick aura of destiny.

The fact that such a person was targeted made the man’s plotting very clear.

He was after Hu Zezhi because of her identity connected to that destiny.

“Regardless, this is at least a breakthrough,” Lu Qing didn’t reveal this point, but rather comforted Hu Zezhi, “Since we know that the one who wishes you harm is a person, then everything becomes much easier to handle.

Miss Hu, since the man dares not act rashly, he must have things that he’s concerned about.

For the time being, as long as you don’t stray too far from us, there shouldn’t be any danger.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Indeed, knowing that her destined foe was a person, Hu Zezhi felt quite relieved.

As her mood lightened, she suddenly remembered something.

“Right, Mr. Lu, Elder Chen, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you since earlier. When we were near the Holy Mountain, I had a faint sensation that there seemed to be something on the mountain calling out to me.”
