I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1294 - 791: Movements on All Sides, Silent Infiltration

Lu Qing glanced at the date displayed on the announcement and realized that more than half a year had already passed since that time.

He figured that only about a month remained before Five Treasure Taoist and his companions faced execution.

"One month should suffice."

Armed with the Void Flying Boat, the immense distances across the Heavenly Origin Great World no longer challenged him.

With a full month ahead, it was the perfect moment for him to get his affairs in order.

He planned to boost the strength of several Taoist Magic techniques, sufficient to deliver a shocking blow to the Holy Alliance later on.

Heavenly Saint Peak.

This colossal mountain dwarfed even Tianshu Divine Mountain in size, serving as the primary stronghold of the Holy Alliance.

"Master Lei, do you believe that Evil Demon will actually arrive?" asked the elder with white hair.

"Difficult to predict." Lei Tian shook his head, "Yet, from what we know about that Evil Demon, he appears deeply loyal and cherishes his allies. If he learns of this, he might not rescue them directly, but he'll surely come to investigate. That's when our chance will arise."

"Loyal and treasures friendships—can someone like that truly be called an Evil Demon?" the white-haired elder remarked, "Master Lei, I've long wanted to inquire: must we push things this far with him? Isn't there any chance for peace?"

"It's far too late for that." Lei Tian let out a sigh, "After we joined forces with the Demon Clan to lay an array that trapped and nearly killed him, we've forged an irreconcilable hatred.

White Hall Master, you've witnessed the downfall of the Gongshu Family. This individual settles every score without mercy.

The Holy Alliance has seriously provoked him, leaving no path to make amends.

Whether he's an Evil Demon or not makes no difference; what matters is that he's our foe now."

The white-haired elder grew quiet.

This helplessness weighed on him too.

As a voice of moderation within the Holy Alliance, he had consistently pushed for a softer stance.

Decades back, during the tribulation, a more respectful approach from the investigating elder might have altered the outcome entirely.

Regrettably, the Holy Alliance had endured for far too long.

The majority of its elders and veterans were used to lording over everyone, issuing orders with haughty disdain.

Such attitudes had drawn this fearsome adversary upon the Holy Alliance.

Furthermore, the esteemed Holy Alliance now resorted to sacrificing over a dozen elite Human Race Golden Core cultivators just to lure out a so-called "Evil Demon."

This level of ridiculousness left the white-haired elder convinced that the Holy Alliance had transformed completely.

It no longer embodied the original alliance, sworn to protect the Human Race at all costs.

Instead, it had evolved into a massive entity, rife with the same schemes and infighting as any ordinary sect.

Even more troubling for the white-haired elder was his awareness of the core issue, yet his inability to fix it.

Human nature drove this, beyond what his own power could overturn.

"Have you uncovered what the Human Race is up to? It's merely putting a handful of Golden Core Realm cultivators to death—why make such a spectacle?"

Deep in Demon Clan lands, a fearsome presence shrouded in dark aura lounged upon an enormous throne.

Seventeen similar thrones encircled him, but only a handful held occupants right now.

A lithe form knelt on one knee right in the middle.

"To the Demon Lord," the lithe figure reported, "We haven't pinpointed the Human Race's exact motives yet, but spies within the Holy Alliance suggest they're using this event to compel a particular individual to reveal himself."

"Oh? What sort of figure would draw the interest of those ancient fools in the Holy Alliance?"

The fearsome entity cloaked in black aura perked up with curiosity all at once.

The other mighty figures on the thrones also shifted their attention to the center.

Such a unified stare from multiple Demon Lords pressed heavily on the lithe figure.

Still, she soon composed her mind and spirit, declaring earnestly: "The exact identity remains undisclosed by our insider, but I believe it ties to the breach of Zhou Tian City and the expulsion of the Gongshu Family from the Thirty-Six Upper Clans."

"Linked to the Zhou Tian City breach?" The fearsome entity arched a brow, "Incidentally, have you discovered the reason behind Zhou Tian City's fall?"

"To the Demon Lord," she replied, "We've learned only that a formidable entity emerged abruptly in Zhou Tian City, slicing the whole place apart with a single blade stroke, slaying numerous Primordial Spirit and Golden Core members of the Gongshu Family, and plundering every treasure. The identity of this enigmatic powerhouse eludes us still."

"A single sword to cleave Zhou Tian City?"

At these words, surprise flickered not just across the fearsome entity in black aura, but also over the other throne-dwellers.

Although unfamiliar with Zhou Tian City firsthand, everyone knew the Human Race's Thirty-Six Upper Clans ranked among elite powers, and the Gongshu Family held a lofty position with substantial might.

As the Gongshu Family's headquarters, Zhou Tian City surely boasted defenses as unyielding as fortified steel.

Nevertheless, one sword had shattered it all. What level of sword skill must the attacker possess?

How could the Gongshu Family have angered such a formidable opponent?

"Fascinating—might this shadowy assailant of Zhou Tian City harbor grudges against the Holy Alliance? Perhaps those Golden Core cultivators the Human Race plans to execute connect to that enigma?"

The fearsome entity, Demonic Qi swirling as it propped its chin, lightly drummed a finger against its face while pondering deeply.

"Jie Mie, your thoughts?"

Abruptly, the fearsome entity wreathed in Demonic Qi turned to a figure at the thrones' far end and posed the question.

The Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable appeared caught off guard by the sudden address.

His surrounding Demonic Qi trembled faintly; after a brief pause for reflection, he shook his head and responded, "Information's too scarce; I can't speculate accurately. That said, this seems advantageous. No matter the identity of that mysterious powerhouse, opposition to the Holy Alliance benefits us."
