I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 284

"The aura is eerie, with hidden murderous intent. Which force is trying to deal with us?" Lu Qing pondered silently as he sensed the stealthy auras rushing toward their small courtyard.

He immediately transmitted his voice to his master outside, "Master, there are a few people approaching from outside, and they seem hostile."

Just as he finished communicating with his master, Lu Qing felt a weight on his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Li looking ahead with a vigilant expression.

"Xiao Li, did you sense it too?"

"Mm, Xiao Li sensed it. Four strong individuals are coming this way." Xiao Li's childish voice echoed in Lu Qing's mind.

"It's okay. You stay here and protect Xiao Yan. I'll go out and take a look." Lu Qing reassured Xiao Li, gently smoothing his slightly ruffled fur.

As soon as Lu Qing stepped out of the room, he saw his master and Lin Zhirui standing solemnly in the courtyard.

"Young Master Lu, Elder Chen just said..." Lin Zhirui was about to inquire but quickly changed his tone after seeing the look in Lu Qing's eyes, "Did you encounter some trouble during cultivation?"

"That's right. During today's battle with the bald monk from Xuankong Mountain, I suffered some internal injuries from the backlash of his Vajra Body Technique. But it's not a big deal; I've taken some pills. After resting for the night, I should be fine by tomorrow."

Lu Qing coughed lightly, his face pale and his breath weak as he replied.

"Young Master Lu, you need to recover quickly. Fortunately, you concealed it well during the day, so the people from Xuankong Mountain didn't notice anything." Lin Zhirui said with relief.

Just as he finished speaking, four black figures suddenly shot out from the shadows, wielding short swords. Two of them charged directly at Lu Qing, while the other two targeted the old doctor.

The speed of the four figures was incredibly fast. Even though Lin Zhirui had been alerted by the old doctor beforehand, he was still taken aback.

From the aura emanating from the attackers, it was clear that each of these four figures was far stronger than him, with cultivation levels at least at the early Precelestial Realm.

More importantly, he hadn't detected their presence at all before they made their move. Even the exotic treasure he had refined didn't give him the slightest warning.

This was something that had never happened since he refined the exotic treasure.

"Be careful!" Lin Zhirui couldn't help but shout in alarm.

The next moment, he witnessed an even more shocking scene.

Facing the attack of the two black figures, Lu Qing initially showed a panicked expression. But as they reached him, his expression suddenly turned serious.

A long blade had somehow appeared in his hand.

The blade's light flashed, and terrifying killing intent surged toward the two figures like a storm.

"Not good!"

Lu Qing's soul force was immensely powerful, and the killing intent he unleashed was extremely terrifying.

Despite being battle-hardened and resolute, the two black figures couldn't help but freeze for a moment under such a terrifying onslaught of killing intent.

And in that brief moment of hesitation, Lu Qing's thunderous blade light was already upon them.

Fortunately, the two figures were indeed formidable. Although their minds were affected, their well-honed martial instincts allowed them to raise their short swords in the nick of time to block the blade light.

Boom! Boom!

The short swords in the hands of the two black figures were obviously no ordinary weapons but divine blades.

Even under Lu Qing's powerful strike, they didn't shatter instantly.

However, though they managed to block the blade, they couldn't fully withstand Lu Qing's overwhelming force in such haste.

With just one collision, the two figures were sent flying like rubber balls, smashing through the courtyard wall and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Trying to escape?"

Lu Qing's soul perception was extremely acute. He immediately sensed that his strikes hadn't caused significant harm to the two figures. Instead, they were trying to use this opportunity to retreat.

His gaze sharpened, and without any visible movement, he disappeared from his original spot and charged into the dust cloud.

The next moment, the blade light flashed again, even the dust couldn't conceal it.

Two screams echoed, followed by silence.

As the dust settled, Lin Zhirui saw the two black figures lying outside the broken wall, their heads separated from their bodies, dead beyond doubt.

Looking back into the courtyard, two other figures were also lying in front of the old doctor, both with a sword mark on their foreheads.

It was evident that the sword qi had pierced through their Brow Acupoints, causing their deaths.

"Brother Lu Qing, what happened?" At this moment, Mago and the others rushed out of the room. Seeing the scene in the courtyard and the bodies at the old doctor's feet, they were shocked.

"It's nothing. A few scoundrels tried to sneak in and assassinate us, but my master and I have dealt with them." Lu Qing explained briefly, then sensed the residual sword qi on the two figures.

He couldn't help but praise, "Master, your swordsmanship has become even more formidable after comprehending the Sacred Pool."

Lin Zhirui nodded in agreement. He had been so focused on watching Lu Qing's battle with the black figures that he hadn't noticed how the old doctor had dealt with the enemies.

He recalled the terrifying sword qi field the old doctor had unleashed on Sacred Mountain earlier and realized that this senior's mastery of swordsmanship had probably reached an unfathomable level.

"The Sacred Pool is indeed profound and can greatly enhance one's comprehension. When you break through to the Precelestial Realm in the future, you should also try to comprehend it." The old doctor smiled.

"If I get the chance, I definitely want to experience it." Lu Qing, though possessing extraordinary abilities, was still very interested in such miraculous places that could enhance one's comprehension out of thin air.

However, Lin Zhirui was deeply moved by the old doctor's words. According to him, Lu Qing was still at the Postnatal Realm. Could it be that he had truly inflicted severe injuries on Grandmaster Xuan Nu of Xuankong Mountain with just Postnatal Realm cultivation?

Lin Zhirui's mind was filled with unimaginable shock. He couldn't fathom how Lu Qing had cultivated to possess such terrifying strength that could rival the Precelestial Realm while still in the Postnatal Realm.

"Sir Zhirui, do you know the origin of these people?" Lu Qing used his blade to lift the black mask off one of the bodies in the courtyard, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.

Although he had already used his abilities to secretly probe the identities of these people, he still wanted to hear Lin Zhirui's opinion.

Lin Zhirui examined them carefully for a while before shaking his head, "Forgive my ignorance, but I have never seen these people before. There's no record of them in any of the dossiers I've reviewed."

He also found it strange. With such formidable skills, each of these individuals was at least at the Precelestial Realm. Tianji Tower should have records of them.

"If I'm not mistaken, these people should be from the Wujian Tower." At this moment, a voice sounded from outside, and the master of Tianji Tower walked in slowly.

"Master!" Lin Zhirui hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Tower Master, do you know the origin of these people?" Lu Qing was not surprised by the Tianji Tower Master's appearance.

The battle just now had caused quite a commotion. It would be strange if someone as strong as the Tianji Tower Master hadn't noticed it.

"I arrived late; please forgive me." The Tianji Tower Master apologized, "These people are indeed skilled in concealment. Even I was fooled and didn't notice their presence."

"No matter, they were just a few scoundrels, not worth troubling the Tower Master. We could handle them ourselves." Lu Qing smiled.

"These people are not mere scoundrels." The Tianji Tower Master condensed a sword qi in his hand and sliced through the clothes on one of the corpses, revealing a peculiar tattoo on the chest.

Seeing the tattoo, he exhaled, "As expected, they are from the Wujian Tower. I never thought this terrifying organization still existed."

"Master, what is Wujian Tower? I've never heard of such a sect before." Lin Zhirui asked.

"Of course, you haven't heard of it because this sect disappeared hundreds of years ago. I thought it was completely eradicated, never to return, but it seems it has been hiding in the shadows." The Tianji Tower Master sighed.

"Wujian Tower was a fearsome assassin organization that suddenly emerged over four hundred years ago. But its rise was rapid, and at its peak, it even overshadowed Seven Kill Tower."

"Even more powerful than Seven Kill Tower?" Lin Zhirui was stunned.

One must know that Seven Kill Tower is the most powerful assassin sect today, with a strength so formidable that even many sects in Zhongzhou avoid it.

Yet this Wujian Tower could surpass Seven Kill Tower? How strong must it have been?

"Yes, although Seven Kill Tower is an ancient sect with a long heritage, during Wujian Tower's rise, even this ancient assassin sect, with thousands of years of history, couldn't match it in assassination techniques.

The two assassin sects once had a showdown to determine who would dominate the assassin world.

Each side sent ten Precelestial assassins and ten Postnatal assassins to compete in assassination techniques.

The result was a complete defeat for Seven Kill Tower. Out of the twenty matches, Seven Kill Tower lost seventeen, and fifteen of its disciples died during the competition.

After that competition, Seven Kill Tower was

severely weakened and had to withdraw from the contest for the top assassin sect.

Since then, Wujian Tower's power grew even more, reaching its peak."

"If Wujian Tower was so powerful, why have we never heard of it?" Lin Zhirui asked.

"Because Wujian Tower went too far," the Tianji Tower Master said with a complex expression.

"This sect was already quite insane in its early days, accepting any commission regardless of the moral implications, and committed many cruel deeds.

After defeating Seven Kill Tower and becoming the number one assassin sect, its power expanded further, but instead of consolidating its gains, it became even more reckless.

Their assassination activities grew increasingly crazed, and they accepted any commission, no matter how immoral. They would even assassinate infants.

They also assassinated many disciples of other sects, sometimes using the most extreme measures to complete their missions.

They even poisoned an entire city just to kill one person, an act that enraged both heaven and earth."

Everyone felt a chill hearing this.

Mago couldn't help but speak, "Was Wujian Tower mad? How could other sects tolerate such actions?"

"That's why they later disappeared," the Tianji Tower Master said.

"Wujian Tower's ruthless and indiscriminate killings, bordering on demonic behavior, naturally couldn't be tolerated by other sects.

So, under the leadership of Sacred Mountain, the major sects of the world launched a crusade against Wujian Tower.

Although Wujian Tower was strong, it couldn't withstand the combined forces of the world. After years of purging, Wujian Tower was uprooted, even their most secret headquarters was destroyed, and all their disciples were slaughtered.

To ensure that this sect was completely wiped out, the major sects later sealed away all information about Wujian Tower, burying this evil sect in history.

I thought Wujian Tower had been completely eradicated, but I never expected there would still be remnants. And judging by the situation, it seems they have grown strong again."

The Tianji Tower Master gazed at the corpses, his expression complicated, filled with both shock and uncertainty.

"Master, you said Wujian Tower disappeared hundreds of years ago. How can you be sure these people are Wujian Tower disciples?" Lin Zhirui asked.

"Look at the tattoo on their chests," the Tianji Tower Master pointed at the clothes he had cut open earlier. "This tattoo is the unique mark of Wujian Tower.

It's said that this tattoo is also a secret technique, containing a terrifying drug.

When a Wujian Tower disciple is in a desperate situation, they can activate the drug in the tattoo with a secret method.

This will cause their strength to increase tenfold in a short time.

However, this secret technique can only be used once, as the user will be completely exhausted and die afterward.

It also takes some time to activate. As long as the Wujian Tower disciple is interrupted before fully absorbing the tattoo, there's no need to worry.

Back when the major sects were purging Wujian Tower, they suffered significant losses due to this secret technique, as they were unaware of its effects."

Everyone's gaze fell on the tattoo on the corpse's chest. It was hard to imagine that such a small tattoo could increase someone's strength tenfold.

Mago and the others felt fortunate that Lu Qing and the old doctor had killed these people before they could activate the secret technique. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Besides the tattoo, there's also their concealment technique," the Tianji Tower Master continued.

"Wujian Tower has a core inheritance called the 'Wujian Walkers.' This inheritance is incredibly unique in the art of concealing auras.

Once used, even Precelestial experts find it difficult to detect them.

It was this inheritance that allowed Wujian Tower to act so recklessly.

They believed that once they wanted to hide, no one could find them.

And that was indeed the case. When the major sects of the world began their crusade against Wujian Tower, they initially had almost no way to locate them.

It was only after Seven Kill Tower made significant efforts and developed a method to counter the 'Wujian Walkers' that Wujian Tower was finally left with nowhere to hide.

However, from what I just saw, it seems Wujian Tower has refined this inheritance even further. Even I was deceived and didn't detect them in time."

At this point, the Tianji Tower Master glanced at Lu Qing with a hint of curiosity.

Even he hadn't detected these Wujian Tower assassins, yet Lu Qing had. How had this young man accomplished that?

Lu Qing didn't notice the Tianji Tower Master's gaze. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Tower Master, who do you think sent these assassins to target us?"
