I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 1311: Chapter 799_2

Chu Xiaoqing’s tone was filled with resentment, but Qin Zheng and the others did not refute it, showing complex emotions on their faces as well.

Obviously, the Sect Master’s betrayal left a bitter taste in their hearts too.

Especially Ye Qingzhu, who was not only indignant but also worried about his master.

”I was slightly better off; in those days, a few elders of the Holy Alliance descended upon my sect and directly captured me,” the Five Treasure Taoist chuckled lightly.

”However, before I was caught, I performed a divination for myself. The reading indicated that I would survive a great calamity and find hope in despair. If not for that reading, I might not have endured until today. It seems I was not mistaken, as it was you, Mr. Lu, who ultimately rescued us.”

”The Taoist’s Divination Skill is indeed ingenious and unparalleled,” Lu Qing couldn’t help but praise, feeling a stir in his heart.

But he temporarily pushed this thought aside and continued, ”Before coming here, I conducted some investigations. The reason you were captured was actually due to the Gongsu Family’s machinations behind the scenes, stirring things up.”

”The Gongsu Family?”

Qin Zheng and the others were initially shocked, then quickly understood.

”Indeed, back then, the Daoist of the Gongshu Family and their clansmen also perished in the Tianshu Divine Mountain, so they sought revenge! Typical of the Gongshu name, these despicable and shameless actions run in the family!”

The faces of the Qiankun Sect disciples all showed looks of resentment.

Years ago, in the Tianshu Divine Mountain Secret Realm, it was Gongshu Yu and his cohorts who plotted against them at every turn with all sorts of schemes.

In the end, they still turned the tables, secretly inciting the Holy Alliance to capture them.

Remembering the torment they endured over the years, how could Qin Zheng and the others not harbor hatred?

”Gongshu Family, I am irreconcilable with you!”

Ye Qingzhu thought of how their master was wounded by the Sect Master while rescuing them, his life still uncertain, and felt a deeper hatred for the Gongshu Family.

”You don’t need to bear such resentment. The Gongshu Family is no more,” Lu Qing shook his head as he saw the bitterness on their faces.

”No more?”

Qin Zheng and the others were taken aback.

”Mr. Lu, what do you mean the Gongshu Family is no more?”

”Just the literal sense,” Lu Qing said calmly. ”Before coming to the Holy Alliance, I went to Zhou Tian City. Now, aside from an ancestor exploring the stars, most of the Gongshu Family’s Primordial Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm members have been slain by me.”

Said to have been all slain...

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng and the others were completely stunned.

That was the Gongshu Family of the Thirty-Six Upper Clans, teeming with powerful members and protected by a vast city like Zhou Tian City.

Were all the powerful members eliminated single-handedly by Lu Qing?

Suddenly, they recalled the events they had witnessed from outside and finally realized.

Yes, even the numerous elders of the Holy Alliance were no match for Lu Qing and were effortlessly killed.

What was a mere Gongshu Family, then?

They also understood the meaning behind Lu Qing’s earlier statements.

As a formidable family commanding vast territories and resources, they naturally had many enemies.

Suddenly losing all the strong members within the family spelled out a certain downfall without further thought.

Those former enemies, and even allies, would quickly transform into ravenous wolves, fiercely tearing them apart.

Thus, even if not utterly destroyed, the Gongshu Family would experience a severe decline, never regaining its former glory.

”Thank you, Mr. Lu, for avenging us and relieving our anger,” Qin Zheng suddenly saluted Lu Qing.

The others also bowed in thanks one after another.

”No need for that, everyone. The Gongshu Family and I have deep grudges too. I simply resolved this karmic matter,” Lu Qing waved his hand dismissively. ”Alright, since you’ve just recovered, take your time to recuperate here. If you need anything, just have Yan handle it.”

”Honored guests, I am Yan, the Artifact Spirit of this Spiritual Artifact Space,”

At this moment, ”Yan” manifested beside them, giving a slight bow to Qin Zheng and the others.

”No need for that.” Qin Zheng and the others hurriedly returned the gesture.

”By the way, Taoist, I have something I’d like to discuss with you. Would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”

After arranging matters with ”Yan,” Lu Qing addressed the Five Treasure Taoist.

”Of course.”

Though slightly surprised, the Five Treasure Taoist had no objections.

Soon, once alone with the Five Treasure Taoist, Lu Qing got straight to the point:

”Taoist, I am quite interested in your Divination Skill. Would it be possible to exchange it for me to comprehend?”

”Mr. Lu is interested in the Art of Divination?” the Five Treasure Taoist was surprised.

”Indeed, I have always been intrigued by various Taoist Techniques. The Art of Divination is mysterious and intricate, allowing one to predict the enemy’s actions and maintain an invincible position. Naturally, I’m quite fascinated.”

”It’s rare for Mr. Lu to take an interest in such a minor skill. Naturally, I wouldn’t keep it to myself. But when I was captured, my Magical Treasures and other items were confiscated. I wonder if Mr. Lu has any blank Inheritance Jade Scrolls?”

The Five Treasure Taoist recalled the various methods Lu Qing had exhibited during the Tianshu Divine Mountain Secret Realm, understanding that the other was not bluffing.

After all, Lu Qing excelled in boxing, Sword Dao, Array, Talismanic Dao, and even Alchemy Path.

If he weren’t genuinely interested, he couldn’t have cultivated each to such profound levels.

”I certainly have those.”

Lu Qing immediately took out several Inheritance Jade Scrolls.

The Five Treasure Taoist accepted the Jade Scrolls without hesitation and began inscribing his Divination Skill, which he had cultivated for many years, into them.

Before long, the inscription was complete.

”Mr. Lu, the Divination Skill I cultivated was stumbled upon during one of my travels.

Its intricacies are somewhat profound, and I only grasped the basics after all these years.

Mr. Lu, your unmatched talent might allow you to comprehend it fully,”

The Five Treasure Taoist handed the Jade Scroll to Lu Qing, recounting how he obtained the skill.

”Even you haven’t fully comprehended it?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’s interest was piqued further.

He had witnessed the Five Treasure Taoist’s Divination Skill and knew it had unique merits.

Earlier, the Taoist mentioned that he foresaw his rescue during his captivity through divination.

Knowing that Lu Qing had achieved a Perfect Primordial Spirit and possessed numerous powerful Magical Treasures,

ordinary Calculation Skills wouldn’t have been able to predict his appearance.

Yet the Five Treasure Taoist managed to indirectly predict his emergence through divination, which was extraordinary.

Now, hearing the Taoist admit to grasping only the basics increased Lu Qing’s curiosity about the skill within the Jade Scroll even more.

”Taoist, I’ll accept this technique. How would you like to exchange it?” Lu Qing asked, storing the Jade Scrolls.

”Mr. Lu, what are you saying? You’ve saved my life multiple times and have shown me the highest kindness. Just a minor Divination Skill, it’s negligible,” the Five Treasure Taoist responded.

”I insist on a fair exchange. Is there anything you need—Elixirs, Cultivation Techniques, or Spirit Stones? I have plenty,” Lu Qing shook his head.

The Five Treasure Taoist hesitated for a moment, his face showing a trace of indecision.

After a few breaths, he suddenly raised his head, ”Mr. Lu, I do have a request.”

”Oh, what’s that?”

”Once everything here is resolved, might you accompany me back to my sect?”

”Is that all?”

”I won’t hide it, Mr. Lu. I might need to borrow your influence, to strike a balance of intimidation against them,” the Five Treasure Taoist replied wryly.

”That’s simple,” Lu Qing agreed without hesitation, nodding, ”Once matters here are settled, I’ll go with you.”

”Aren’t you curious about my reasons for returning to the sect?” the Five Treasure Taoist asked.

”I trust that when the time comes, you’ll naturally inform me,” Lu Qing smiled slightly.
