I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 535 - 346: Unspeakably Miserable, Deceived

In his arms, the Exotic Treasure emitted a trace of aura, enveloping him.

This made him blend perfectly into the surrounding environment.

Below, the disheveled figure had a cultivation that didn’t seem very high, but he gave off an extremely dangerous sensation.

Especially when adding the horrifyingly strange Devil Technique that the other had previously employed.

Even with the Exotic Treasure on him, he didn’t dare to be careless.

Indeed, the Tower Master had calculated correctly.

With the change of heaven and earth, the recovery of spiritual energy, it was not only the Child of Fate and unparalleled prodigies born to inherit luck.

There were also many devils and monsters emerging, creating chaos.

This strange demon before him was probably such an existence.

Time slowly trickled by, and the hour they had agreed upon was approaching.

The atmosphere in the Martial Arts Arena grew increasingly stifling.

Finally, the disheveled figure spoke, "An hour has passed, Little Jianwen, tell me, where is the thing?"

"Ah, an hour really passes quickly, doesn’t it?"

The Bearded Old Man said cryptically, "Junior Master, do you think I would really tell you where it is?"

"You dare deceive me?!"

The disheveled figure’s eyes snapped open, and a terrifying aura suddenly radiated from him.

"Little Jianwen, as the head of a Sect, you are being dishonest. Does this honor your ancestors?"

"I listened to your slander that day, releasing you was already a great sin.

Now, adding the reputation of dishonesty, what does it matter?

But don’t even think about using our Sword Pavilion’s ancestral treasure to harm the world!"

"Good, very good!"

The disheveled figure laughed angrily, then, with a flick of his hand, sucked the Bearded Old Man to his palm and grasped his head.

"Little Jianwen, you’ve brought this upon yourself. Don’t blame me. I will let you taste the flavor of the Soul Refining Technique!"

As he spoke, black qi emerged from his hand, turning into small snakes that burrowed into the Bearded Old Man’s head.

The black qi snakes seemed to contain some terrifying intent, and as soon as they burrowed into the Bearded Old Man’s head, even the leader of the sect could barely endure it, emitting a heaven-shattering scream.

It was as if he was enduring unimaginable agony, uncontrollably screaming.

"How about it, the taste of my Soul Refining Technique isn’t pleasant, is it, Little Jianwen? If you tell me where the thing is, I might grant you a quick end!"

The voice of the disheveled figure held a certain demonic power, which, even in such a situation, clearly entered the Bearded Old Man’s mind.

"Never... think... even if my soul scatters, I will... not tell you..."

The Bearded Old Man gritted his teeth, as if uttering words from the depths of Hell.

"Hmph, courting death!"

Seeing that his opponent still wasn’t willing to talk, a ruthless light flickered in the eyes of the disheveled figure.

No longer holding back, the black qi in his hands surged, completely shrouding the Bearded Old Man’s head.

"Ah!!!"

The Bearded Old Man let out another heaven-shattering, harrowing scream, his body twisting and trembling, a sight so horrifying it was shocking.

But, enduring unimaginable agony, the Bearded Old Man still did not beg for mercy nor reveal anything about the treasure.

Finally, under the torment of the black qi, the Bearded Old Man’s body gradually ceased convulsing, his life breath slowly fading.

He was tortured to death alive.

"To think you endured to the dispersal of your soul and still didn’t talk, Little Jianwen, I must commend you!

That old undying man once appraised your resilience and certainly wasn’t wrong about you."

Looking at the collapsed, breathless Bearded Old Man, though the disheveled figure wasn’t happy, he had to accept the outcome.

"However, I refuse to believe you could have hidden it so well.

Once I burn this broken Sword Pavilion down, we’ll see if it appears!"

The disheveled figure would absolutely not give up just like that.

To his former self, the treasure was just a common item.

But for his current impoverished state, it was utterly crucial.

Thus, he had to obtain it.

Having said this, the disheveled figure hesitated no longer, immediately starting to set fires everywhere, since the treasure wouldn’t be afraid of fire.

The raging inferno gradually engulfed the entire Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

A disheveled figure stood in the center of the Martial Arts Arena, closing his eyes, sensing the movements throughout the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

The item contained a trace of spiritual nature; as long as it emitted the slightest trace of Qi, it would surely not escape his perception.

The disheveled figure focused all his energy on sensing, yet, by the time the flames were about to die out,

he still hadn’t sensed the thread of Qi he was looking for.

"Damn it, where exactly did that old fellow hide the thing!"

Finally, the disheveled figure, furious and embarrassed, kicked the corpse of Bearded Old Man into the flames.

His eyes turned blood-red, his aura wildly fierce as if he were about to burst forth any moment.

But ultimately, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and did not let it explode.

His aura even mysteriously weakened and quickly receded.

"Cough cough, dammit, that kid, I will eventually avenge that slash from the other day!"

The disheveled figure coughed twice, speaking venomously.

That day in the Holy City, he had been wounded by Lu Qing’s Sword Qi, forcing him to use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique just to barely escape.

Not only was his Primordial Qi severely damaged, but more importantly, at the time, Lu Qing had just completed his Heavenly Tribulation, leaving remnants in his body.

This made the Sword Qi he unleashed contain a trace of Tribulation Qi.

For a Demon Cultivator like the disheveled figure, the Qi of Heavenly Tribulation was one of the most loathed things imaginable.

So even though a long time had passed, and he had consumed the essence blood of many people along the way from Central State,

he still couldn’t completely heal his injuries.

This was also one of the reasons why he had to get his hands on the item.

As long as he could refine the item, he could not only fully heal his injuries but also improve further, initially refining the foundation of a Demon Body.

Unfortunately, this plan was doomed to be in vain.

Looking at the burnt-down Qingyun Sword Pavilion, the disheveled figure prepared to leave.

He also realized that since setting the fire hadn’t helped him find the item,

It was obvious that it had probably been moved by Jianwen, that old fox, beforehand.

No wonder he had insisted on having those people leave earlier; the item was very likely on them!

Thinking of this, the disheveled figure suddenly had an epiphany, realizing he had probably been tricked by Jianwen.

He had actually sent the item out right in front of him!

"But, Little Jianwen, do you think you’re the only one who can scheme? Those several have all been marked with Demonic Qi by me.

Don’t say they’ve only run for half an hour, even if they run to the ends of the earth, I have a way to find them!"

The disheveled figure said softly towards the location of Bearded Old Man’s corpse.

Then he strode out, not looking back, heading outside.

After being deceived by Bearded Old Man, he decided not only to retrieve the item.

He also wanted to eradicate the Qingyun Sword Pavilion completely and sever this sect’s lineage!

The disheveled figure left the mountain gate and immediately used a movement technique to rush down the mountain.

The Qingyun Sword Pavilion once again fell into silence.

Only the still-burning flames crackled and popped.

It wasn’t until much later that a dark figure slowly crawled down from the mountain gate of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

Elder You looked at the completely burned-down Qingyun Sword Pavilion with a hint of lamentation.

He had also known something of this sect.

It was equally an ancient sect that had existed for a thousand years.

According to information passed down from his ancestors in the Wujian Building, this sect had even participated in the encirclement and suppression of their Wujian Building.

Yet had unexpectedly been easily annihilated by a mysterious and terrifying existence.

"That person just now, who exactly is he, with his Devil Technique so strange and terrifying, plainly even more fearsome than the legendary Demon Cultivators."

Elder You still felt a chill remembering the scene he had witnessed before.

Being able to directly consume human bone marrow essence blood to strengthen himself, such a Devil Technique, he had never encountered even in his ancestors’ records.

Yet just then, an ominously cold voice suddenly sounded not far away.

"No wonder I always felt something was amiss, it turns out there really is a rat hiding in the dark."

At these words, Elder You immediately shuddered.

A chill surged from the bottom of his heart straight to his crown.
