I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1295 - 791: Movements from All Sides, Silent Infiltration (Part 2)

"Well put." The ominous silhouette gave a nod of agreement. "This situation truly favors us. It all hinges on the shocks this enigmatic powerhouse might deliver. Should he clash to the death against multiple elders from the Holy Alliance, it would spell a tremendous chance for our Demon Clan."

"Nine Kills, are you considering..."

The silhouettes seated on the remaining thrones all shuddered together upon hearing those words.

"Precisely, should those ancient members of the Holy Alliance truly perish, it might just be the moment for us to broaden our domains."

Indifferently spoke the ominous silhouette enveloped in dark mist, "The Heavenly Origin Great World has enjoyed far too much tranquility. It's high time some turmoil stirred things up."

...

"So this is Heavenly Saint Peak?"

From high in the skies, Lu Qing stared at the immense mountain stretching before him.

A majestic divine peak that towers even more imposingly than Tianshu Divine Mountain, Heavenly Saint Peak serves as the central hub for the Human Race Holy Alliance.

Deep inside Heavenly Saint Peak lies the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison as well.

Thus, when Lu Qing inquired Nangong Yuanwu about the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison's conditions, the man failed to grasp right away that a jailbreak was in the works.

In truth, storming the Holy Alliance's stronghold for such a daring escape is a feat no mighty Demon Lord would even contemplate.

At first, Lu Qing had planned to harness top-grade Spiritual Stones for cultivation up to the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit stage prior to making his move.

At that point, none within the Heavenly Origin Great World would stand a chance against him.

The famed Holy Alliance headquarters would prove utterly incapable of halting his advance.

To his surprise, with no trace of him found, the Holy Alliance turned to threatening the Five Treasure Taoist's life to force his emergence.

"If they're so eager to lay eyes on me, then I'll grant them the delight of the shock I have in store,"

Lu Qing whispered under his breath while eyeing the sprawling Heavenly Saint Mountain in the distance.

Although the Holy Alliance's tactic caught him off guard, it carried certain benefits too.

Come execution day, they would have to extract the Five Treasure Taoist and his companions from the prison, guiding them toward the execution site.

This spared Lu Qing the trouble of hunting them down himself.

Suddenly, Lu Qing's form flickered out of sight in the heavens.

His next appearance placed him right before a sprawling metropolis.

His presence and looks had shifted entirely, morphing into that of a commonplace Golden Core Realm cultivator arriving from distant lands to behold the uproar.

Yes, merely to behold the uproar.

One year prior, the Holy Alliance had made a bold proclamation across the realm, stating that within a year's time, they would put to death the human race betrayers who conspired with vile demons.

This sparked an immediate frenzy throughout the lands.

Consequently, it ignited the interest of myriad cultivators, all itching to discover what sort of betrayers warranted such fanfare from the Holy Alliance.

The realm never runs short on the inquisitive, which is why in the last year, hordes of cultivators from every direction have converged at the base of Heavenly Saint Peak.

Each one drawn to partake in the grand event.

The metropolis standing before Lu Qing ranks among the eight principal cities nestled at Heavenly Saint Peak's base.

It also stands as the nearest settlement to the execution venue known as the Sky Punishment Platform.

Given Lu Qing's present cultivation prowess, no one could discern the altered aura he projected.

As such, he slipped seamlessly into the urban throng and secured lodging at an inn.

The execution was set for noon the following day; thus, he possessed a full day for preparations.

As Lu Qing covertly entered the city, a host of powerful entities assembled on Heavenly Saint Peak's summit, apparently engaged in deliberations.

"Master Lei, with tomorrow marking the execution and no sign of those evil demons in the past year, can we trust your scheme?" One elder creased his brow.

"Yes, we've maintained utmost vigilance over this year, but the evil demons have stayed hidden. Do you truly believe this approach will work?" Another elder remarked.

"In my view, you're probably exaggerating the bond between those Golden Core cultivators and the evil demons. From what we've uncovered, they only journeyed alongside the demons briefly; their ties aren't nearly as deep as you think."

"Please, esteemed Hall Masters, hold your concerns." Amid the elders' skepticism, Lei Tian's face stayed composed. "The truth will unfold come noon tomorrow, one way or another. Patience is key here."

"Yet if the evil demons fail to appear by noon tomorrow, will we proceed with executing those Golden Core cultivators?" one elder inquired.

"Of course." Lei Tian inclined his head. "Conspiring with evil demons warrants death. Our Holy Alliance has broadcast this far and wide—how could we retract it now? Moreover, it's common knowledge that those Golden Core cultivators willingly associated with the demons, sealing their doom.

Should it fail to draw out the demons, at the very least, it will intimidate the frail-hearted, serving as a stark warning against turning against our Human Race."

Hearing these words, certain elders displayed a trace of discomfort.

They recognized that Lei Tian's claims were little more than unfounded charges.

Based on the Holy Alliance's probe, while the Five Treasure Taoist and Ye Qingzhu did spend some time in proximity to the evil demons.

This stemmed from the demons masking their true natures, which they hadn't detected.

To be precise, they had been tricked, rather than genuinely plotting with evil demons.

In light of these facts, imposing the death penalty stirred unease among several elders.

Nevertheless, confronted by Lei Tian's nonchalant demeanor and the support of many elders at his side, such feelings were swiftly quashed.

At present, within the Holy Alliance, the Xing Hall and Sword Hall hold vast sway, dominating the bulk of decisions.

Even in opposition, their voices would doubtless be drowned by the prevailing consensus.

Noting the absence of more queries, Lei Tian revealed a pleased grin.

On this occasion, capitalizing on the turmoil from the demons' resurgence, he had rallied many elders to his cause, markedly elevating his standing in the Holy Alliance.

In a way, he owed a debt of gratitude to the demons themselves.

Yet Lei Tian promptly concealed the grin, declaring gravely, "Esteemed ones, vigilance is essential. Tomorrow holds the key moment. If the demons do emerge, it will fall to all of you to subdue them."

"Without doubt, for this is Heavenly Saint Peak. Even a Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit expert would need to tread lightly here. Mere evil demons can hardly shake the foundations of the world." An elder responded at once.

"Then I place my trust in you all."

Upon departing the meeting chamber, Lei Tian bypassed his Cave Mansion and made directly for the Heavenly Prison.

"Master Lei, to what do we owe this visit?"

The bald elder overseeing the Heavenly Prison appeared as Lei Tian drew near.

His gaze fixed on Lei Tian with caution.

Across these years, he had observed how this individual exploited the demons' comeback to enact his plots and gather allies.

In mere years, he had seen this person's hunger for power unfold.

Were it not for the Alliance Hierarch's ongoing oversight, this one could stir up far greater chaos.

But as befits his title, the Hierarch has secluded himself in the Star Sky Secret Land for ages, pursuing insights into the Great Dao, rarely meddling in the Heavenly Origin Great World's affairs.

Thus, though grievances lingered, the bald elder kept them unspoken.

"Nothing major. With execution set for tomorrow, I thought I'd check if there's any assistance I can offer around here," Lei Tian replied with a smile.

The bald elder shook his head. "Everything's under control in the Heavenly Prison. The Artifact Spirit ensures those inmates can't make waves."

Countless Primordial Spirit Realm captives are confined in the Holy Alliance's Heavenly Prison.

Yet across endless epochs, it has stood unbreached.

This is due to the Heavenly Prison being a supremely potent Magical Treasure in its own right.

The Artifact Spirit vigilantly oversees all happenings inside, alerting the bald elder to any prisoner's actions immediately.

"Having you guard it puts my mind at ease. Incidentally, might I speak with those Golden Core cultivators?"

"Master Lei seeks an audience with them?" The bald elder hesitated briefly. "To what end?"

"Merely to pass along a few items."

A enigmatic grin spread across Lei Tian's features.
