I can see through all information

Chapter 658: Ningyuan Sect, killing the leader, and the dark Lu Qing
When Lu Qing emerged from the underground cave, his expression was stern, and the killing intent emanating from him had not yet dissipated.

Looking at the azure sky above, I recalled what had just happened.

Just now, in the underground cave, he couldn't suppress his murderous intent and directly activated his supernatural powers to pull all the wicked thieves into the illusion.

They tortured them endlessly in the illusion until all the bandits could no longer bear the pain, and finally their minds collapsed and their souls dissipated.

Even so, he was still unable to fully unleash the murderous intent in his heart.

Because the few women who survived in the cave all committed suicide in front of him.

Lu Qing originally wanted to rescue them, but the women shook their heads at him.

It turns out they were recently kidnapped by this group of ruthless thieves. When they were kidnapped, their husbands, children and family members had already been killed by the thieves.

Even their relatives were being steamed in that large cauldron...

In addition, these women had already been subjected to all sorts of humiliation by the ruthless thieves, but they were too weak to resist, and even suicide was a luxury, which is why they have survived until now.

Now that they were finally free from their suffering, after bowing and thanking Lu Qing, they picked up the weapons scattered on the ground and committed suicide in front of him.

At that moment, Lu Qing could have stopped it.

But after seeing the determination in the women's eyes, he ultimately did not take action. He simply watched them commit suicide, then smiled with relief before returning to the underworld.

However, upon seeing this scene, Lu Qing felt not relieved, but rather his killing intent intensified.

“Aqing…”

Xiao Li leaned on Lu Qing's shoulder, looking at him with some worry.

It had been a long time since it had seen Lu Qing so murderous.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lu Qing suppressed his killing intent, patted Xiao Li's head, and comforted it.

"Ah Qing, where are we going now? To complete the next mission?" Xiao Li asked.

"Well, but before that, we have another thing to do."

"Ningyuan Sect..."

Lu Qing recalled the information revealed by the burly man in the illusion earlier, and a hint of murderous intent rose in his eyes again.

The next moment, he transformed into a streak of light, soared into the air, and flew westward.

……

In the Tianyuan Great World, Ningyuan Sect is not considered a powerful sect. The strongest fighting force in the sect consists of a few elders and the sect leader who are at the late Golden Core stage.

However, in recent years, the sect leader has been frequently going into seclusion, seemingly making great progress in his cultivation.

Recently, there have been rumors that he might be about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, which has greatly excited the disciples in the sect.

If the sect leader can achieve the Nascent Soul stage, their Ningyuan Sect's foundation will greatly increase, and it's not impossible for them to occupy more territory in the future, or even annex the other two nearby sects.

"The sect leader has been in seclusion for three years now. Do you think he can reach the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Some disciples from the sect, bored, began to discuss it.

"The sect leader is exceptionally talented; he will definitely be able to break through!"

"That's right. Once our sect leader breaks through, our Ningyuan Sect will have a Nascent Soul expert. At that time, Suxin Sect and Fentian Sect will no longer be our opponents, and our territory may be able to expand again!"

Several disciples of the Ningyuan Sect were chatting excitedly when one of them looked up by chance, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Look, someone has flown over our sect!"

"Who dares to be so bold as to fly over our Ningyuan Sect!"

"Isn't he afraid of being knocked down by the sect's protective formation?"

"Something's not right. They seem hostile. We need to sound the alarm; it's very likely the enemy has arrived!"

The other disciples all looked up at the sky, and when they saw Lu Qing wearing a black cloak and a ghost mask, they felt a chill inexplicably run down their spines.

Immediately afterwards, the alarm bell rang, and the entire Ningyuan Sect was thrown into chaos.

Above, Lu Qing watched as the Ningyuan Sect disciples below quickly assembled, led by several elders, standing ready for battle, but his expression remained unchanged.

It simply stood silently in the air, sensing something.

Lu Qing made no move, but the coldness emanating from him made all the Ningyuan Sect disciples dare not be careless.

Standing at the very front was an elderly man with an extraordinary aura, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, who suddenly stepped forward.

He addressed Lu Qing in the sky, saying loudly, "Who are you, and what brings you to our Ningyuan Sect?"

"Let the condenser come out!" Lu Qing said coldly.

Upon hearing Lu Qing's impolite tone, the old man's expression changed slightly.

The Ningyuan Sect disciples behind him stirred up a commotion.

Because Ningjizi is the name of their sect leader.

"Our sect leader is currently in seclusion. May I ask what business you have with him?"

Although the old man knew that Lu Qing probably had ill intentions, he still spoke patiently.

However, Lu Qing didn't want to waste words with him. His powerful spiritual perception ability had already allowed him to discover his destination.

His eyes immediately turned cold: "If you don't come out, I'll destroy your lair!"

The next moment, Lu Qing waved his arm, and a sword aura instantly flew out, slashing straight towards a palace in the Ningyuan Sect below.

The sword energy was incredibly sharp, and the protective formation of the Ningyuan Sect was like paper, unable to stop it in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, it was cleaved in two, and then the sword energy surged straight in, striking the palace.

Instantly, the earth shook violently, and the entire palace, along with the mountain peak beneath it, was cleaved in two by Lu Qing's sword, revealing a huge sword mark.

A somewhat disheveled figure flew out from a secret chamber beneath the palace and landed in front of a group of Ningyuan Sect disciples, looking at Lu Qing in the sky with surprise and uncertainty.

"metropolitan!"

All the Ningyuan Sect disciples, who were initially utterly horrified by the power of Lu Qing's sword strike, were now filled with awe.

But upon seeing that person, I couldn't help but feel invigorated.

It was as if as long as their sect leader was there, they had a pillar of support.

"You are Ningjizi?"

Lu Qing looked at the figure with a cold gaze.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes, whose aura was perfectly harmonious, clearly indicating that he had already reached the perfect stage of the ninth level of the Golden Core realm.

However, even though he had already heard the Ningyuan Sect disciples address him, to avoid looking for the wrong person, Lu Qing still activated his special ability and looked at them.

"I am Ningjizi, the sect leader of Ningyuan Sect. May I ask what business you have with me? I do not seem to know you."

Ningjizi looked at Lu Qing with a solemn expression, his heart filled with apprehension.

The sword strike that Lu Qing unleashed earlier was truly terrifying.

If he hadn't dodged at the crucial moment, he would probably be severely injured by now. Even now, he still feels a chill in his body, as if sword energy is seeping into his flesh.

At this moment, the note information had already appeared in Lu Qing's field of vision.

After reading the notes, his murderous intent intensified.

"It doesn't matter whether you know me or not, but do you know him?"

He took a head from a storage bag and threw it down.

The head landed precisely in front of Ningjizi, rolled several times, and faced him with an expression of extreme terror on its face, as if it had endured some unimaginable torment before dying.

When Ningjizi saw the face of that head, his expression changed involuntarily.

Before he could say anything, he heard a disciple behind him exclaim in alarm, "Senior Brother Duan, has he gone missing?"

"Senior Brother Duan, didn't he perish in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm thirty years ago?"

The other disciples were equally shocked when they saw what the head looked like.

Even those elders at the late Golden Core stage showed surprise on their faces.

It turned out that the head Lu Qing threw out was actually Duan Xin, a true disciple of their Ningyuan Sect who had disappeared many years ago.

"It seems you all know this person," Lu Qing said coldly.

"Indeed, the face of this head is very similar to that of a true disciple of my Ningyuan Sect who disappeared without a trace many years ago. I wonder how you obtained this head? Could it be that my worthless disciple did not die back then, but instead perished at your hands?"

Ningjizi said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Ningyuan Sect disciples behind him immediately looked at Lu Qing with hostility.

This strangely shaped masked man broke through their Ningyuan Sect's protective formation with his sword as soon as he arrived, and now he's thrown out Senior Brother Duan's head. Clearly, he's a formidable enemy of their Ningyuan Sect.

"You're putting on quite a show. Are you trying to tell me that you don't know that this is the infamous, wicked bandit leader in this area who specializes in robbing passing merchants?" Lu Qing said calmly.

"What? Senior Brother Duan Xin is the leader of the Black Heart Bandits?"

"This is impossible!"

"How could Senior Brother Duan Xin possibly be the leader of the Black-Hearted Bandits!"

"You scoundrel, stop slandering my Ningyuan Sect's true disciples like this!"

Lu Qing's words immediately caused an uproar among the Ningyuan Sect disciples, who began to shout and rebuke him.

"Your Excellency, as you have seen, my disciple has always had an excellent reputation. Before he disappeared, he was a young hero praised by everyone within a radius of ten thousand miles. He could not possibly be the black-hearted bandit leader you described."

Ningji was greatly shocked when Lu Qing uttered the words "Black Heart Path".

However, after hearing the reprimand from the disciple behind him, he gradually calmed down and said seriously to Lu Qing.

"Whether you deny it or not, it's meaningless to me." Lu Qing shook his head. "This scum has already confessed everything before he died."

Back then, you used evil magic to place a restriction on him, making him pretend to disappear.

In reality, they secretly transform into ruthless thieves, robbing passing merchants and plundering resources to fund your cultivation of evil arts.

Otherwise, with your aptitude, how could you have broken through several barriers in just a few decades, reaching the perfect ninth stage of the Golden Core realm, and almost achieving the Nascent Soul stage?

Hearing Lu Qing's words, the vast majority of Ningyuan Sect disciples still looked unconvinced.

However, a few people seemed to remember something, and their expressions changed slightly.

Among them were several elders who had reached the late Golden Core stage.

"Your Excellency, this is slander! What evidence do you have that I instructed Duan Xin to become a black-hearted thief? Moreover, it's still uncertain whether this head belongs to my disciple. You've gone to great lengths to tarnish the reputation of my Ningyuan Sect. Do you really think we have no temper?"

Just then, Ningji shouted loudly.

A powerful aura rose from his body.

He knew he couldn't let the masked man in front of him continue talking.

Otherwise, those guys in the sect who already had some doubts would probably become even more suspicious.

"I've already said it, whether you deny it or not, it doesn't affect me. The reason I'm saying all this is just so you can die knowing the truth, so that when you get to the underworld, you won't be unaware of who's taking your life."

After Lu Qing finished speaking, he pointed his fingers like a sword and gently slashed downwards a few times.

Ning Jizi felt a chill run down his spine, but before he could make any move, he felt a coldness in his hands and feet.

The next moment, he could no longer feel his hands and feet.

Ningji was shocked and turned to look, only to find in horror that his hands and feet were slowly falling off.

It was unclear when, but it had already been severed by Lu Qing's sword energy.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his body tighten as an incredibly powerful, invisible force completely sealed and bound him, pulling him rapidly upwards.

No matter how much he unleashed his magical power, he could not break free from that terrifying restraint.

"Release our sect leader!"

Lu Qing's sword energy, unleashed in anger, was so fast that even Ning Jizi, a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator, couldn't react in time, let alone anyone else.

But when he used his magnetic power to grab Ningjizi, the other Ningyuan Sect disciples, although shocked by the terrifying power of Lu Qing's sword energy, eventually came to their senses.

Led by those elders at the late Golden Core stage, they all attacked Lu Qing.

"town."

However, just as they activated their Taoist magic weapons, Lu Qing softly uttered a single word.

Everyone was horrified to discover that an indescribably powerful sealing force had descended upon them.

Not only were their magical arts and treasures completely suppressed in the air, but their bodies were also completely suppressed, rendering them unable to move.

"Considering you were unaware of the situation, I will only execute the ringleader this time. If you dare to resist again, I will wipe out your entire Ningyuan Sect!"

Lu Qing's cold voice rang out, causing all the disciples of Ningyuan Sect to tremble in shock. They watched helplessly as Ningjizi, whose limbs were broken, was grabbed by Lu Qing and brought before him.

"Senior, the matter of the thief is truly unrelated to me. I beg you to see the truth and not be misled by such a villain."

Ningjizi was now fully aware that the masked man before him was someone beyond his wildest imagination.

In his terror, he could only desperately beg for mercy.

"Do you know what those unscrupulous bandits usually do to merchants after they've robbed them?"

Lu Qing's words startled Ning Jizi.

"Don't know? It's alright. I'll let you experience the pain they endured right now. Don't worry, killing you directly would be too easy for you. I won't kill you so easily. I'll make you experience a thousand times more the pain those children who were eaten suffered before they died."

As Ningjizi listened to Lu Qing's slow, deliberate words, the fear in her eyes intensified.

He wanted to continue begging for mercy, but it was too late.

An endless illusion had already descended upon him. Before he was completely overwhelmed, all he could see in his eyes was the eerie ghost mask on Lu Qing's face, which was becoming more and more distorted, as if it were about to come to life.

The next moment, an extremely shrill scream rang out from the sky.
