I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1223 - 751: Schemes on All Sides, Primordial Spirit Fifth Tribulation
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
The few individuals present were stunned by the abrupt retreat of the Peach Fairy.
With the suppression of the Magical Treasure finally lifted, Qing Xii’s form manifested once again.
Witnessing the confrontation between Yu Jian and Mo Tushan, she didn't hesitate for a moment. She released a sharp sword light, aiming it directly at Mo Tushan.
"Damn wench!"
Mo Tushan’s face contorted as he leaped back to dodge the sword light, making a move toward the Teleportation Array.
The massive sword shadow looming behind Yu Jian forced him to realize that his rival held a formidable Spiritual Artifact, one that rivaled the power of his own Nine Abyss Demon Tower.
In a direct clash, even if he managed to slay his opponent, the cost would be a devastating injury to himself.
Furthermore, now that Qing Xii was free, their combined strength would be far too much for him to handle alone.
The most critical factor was that if he were severely wounded and unable to mend his Dantian and wounds quickly,
conquering this fifth level would become an impossible task.
With these thoughts racing through his mind, Mo Tushan’s resolve to flee solidified.
He struck out with a palm infused with Demon Energy, parrying the consecutive sword lights launched by Qing Xii. Without looking back, he vanished into the Teleportation Array, retreating to the Physical Body Test Passage.
"Trying to run?"
Qing Xii’s brow furrowed in anger as she prepared to pursue him with her blade.
"Junior Sister Qing Xii, stop!" Yu Jian called out, halting her. "Do not pursue a cornered foe; we must be wary of potential traps ahead."
As he spoke, his powerful aura began to fade rapidly, and the massive sword shadow behind him crumbled into fragments.
"Senior Brother Yu Jian!"
Startled, Qing Xii rushed to his side immediately.
Observing his pale complexion and his drastically weakened Qi, she understood that Yu Jian had been putting on a front and had reached his absolute limit.
"Senior Brother, this is my fault for being so careless. If you hadn't intercepted that blow for me, Mo Tushan's sneak attack would never have succeeded."
Overwhelmed with guilt, Qing Xii quickly retrieved Healing Pills from her Storage Magical Treasure and offered them to Yu Jian.
They had been ambushed by Mo Tushan and the Peach Fairy the moment they stepped into the fifth level.
Had it not been for Yu Jian’s lightning-fast reflexes, she would have been the one suffering from a life-threatening wound.
"It is not your burden to bear," Yu Jian said, shaking his head after swallowing the medicine. "We were both negligent. It never occurred to us that Mo Tushan would conspire with the Peach Fairy. The Secret Techniques of the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal are truly profound; even we failed to sense their presence in time."
What puzzled Yu Jian the most was how Mo Tushan and the Peach Fairy had cleared their respective trials so quickly to set up this trap.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of hidden foundation or trump cards they had utilized.
"That vixen Peach Fairy! I will make her pay for this in blood!" Qing Xii said, her teeth clenched in rage.
Without that woman’s meddling, Mo Tushan would never have dared to strike at both of them simultaneously.
"Ultimately, we were too overconfident," Yu Jian remarked with a sigh.
Despite the warnings left in their Sect’s ancestral records, they had still fallen into a trap.
Their vigilance had clearly been lacking.
Qing Xii fell into a somber silence.
She had not anticipated an alliance between Mo Tushan and that demoness, especially since the Peach Fairy had seemed much closer to Hei Ming before they entered the secret realm.
After a brief pause, Qing Xii asked, "Senior Brother Yu Jian, how much time do you need to recover?"
"The damage is significant, but thanks to your high-grade elixir, I should be back to full strength within ten days at most."
"Ten days... the time limit for this stage is a full year. You will still have plenty of time to complete the trial, Senior Brother."
Hearing this, Qing Xii finally felt a sense of relief.
"Then for these ten days, I must ask you to stand guard, Junior Sister."
"Rest easy, Senior Brother. I will ensure no one disturbs your Cultivation!" Qing Xii declared with firm resolve.
Yu Jian gave a slight nod, then activated an Array Plate to create a protective barrier around himself before beginning his recovery.
Meanwhile, Qing Xii suppressed her aura and hid nearby, keeping a sharp eye on the seven Transmission Arrays on the floor.
Should anyone emerge, they would be met with her most devastating attacks.
At this moment, Qing Xii was no longer concerned about accidentally harming an innocent bystander.
In her mind, anyone shifting between Trial Passages at this stage surely harbored ill intentions.
She refused to let her guard down a second time.
"That wretched woman!"
While Qing Xii stood watch over Yu Jian,
Mo Tushan was back in the Physical Body Test Passage, venting his fury with a string of curses.
His vitriol was aimed not just at Qing Xii, but primarily at the Peach Fairy.
If she hadn't abandoned the fight, he could have dealt Yu Jian a blow so severe that his cultivation origin would have taken decades to mend.
Such an injury would have effectively removed Yu Jian from the competition for the remaining levels.
The fact that such a perfect opportunity was wasted by the Peach Fairy’s cowardice left Mo Tushan seething.
"Just as I thought, the women from the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal are treacherous snakes who change sides at a whim."
With cold eyes, Mo Tushan stepped into the Transmission Array bound for the Divine Soul Channel, intending to hunt her down.
However, upon reaching the fifth level of the Divine Soul Test, he found the area deserted.
It was clear she had already fled, likely knowing he would come looking for her after her desertion.
After staring into the void for a moment, Mo Tushan decided against a pursuit.
Given how cunning the Peach Fairy was, catching her would be an exercise in futility if she truly wished to hide.
Furthermore, she had been friendly with Hei Ming earlier, and she was likely heading toward him now.
Mo Tushan felt a deep-seated wariness toward Hei Ming, knowing full well that a man of his caliber would have no trouble reaching the fifth level.
