I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1397 Chapter 848

It is hardly surprising that the Charming Beauty harbors fear toward Lu Qing; the raw power he demonstrated moments ago was truly harrowing.

Figures like Mo Cangtian of the Black and White Temple are seasoned Unity Realm Stage cultivators, possessing strength on par with her own.

Yet, even these six formidable demons, bolstered by the Six Harmonies Celestial Demon Array Map, were effortlessly suppressed and refined by Lu Qing. Such a feat implies that subduing her would be every bit as trivial for him.

Honestly, had it not been for the urging of Old Ghost Qiu, she would have fled the scene long ago.

After all, Lu Qing currently aligns himself with the Righteous path, and for an Evil Cultivator of her stature to become entangled here would be an act of suicide.

Though she is only present via a Divine Thought Avatar, the investment of time and resources required to manifest such a form is significant, and she had no interest in wasting it pointlessly.

"You are both far too generous in your praise," Lu Qing replied, his demeanor toward the white-haired elder and the Charming Beauty noticeably frigid.

The factions representing these two may not have committed atrocities on the scale of the Black and White Temple, but they could hardly be labeled as true, Righteous Sects.

Consequently, Lu Qing found it difficult to muster any warmth toward them.

Faced with this icy response, the Charming Beauty felt a pang of resentment deep within her.

The white-haired elder, however, seemed entirely unmoved by Lu Qing's attitude, maintaining his smile throughout.

"Mr. Lu has attained the Unity Realm Stage and instantly purged six demons, ridding the world of six plagues; this is an achievement of immeasurable merit," he lauded.

This comment piqued Lu Qing's interest.

Before he could offer a response, however, the woman in white standing by his side let out a derisive scoff.

"Old Ghost Qiu, your talent for flattery is remarkable. Are you trying to convince us that your Netherworld Palace isn't a force of the Demon Path? Have you not been a notorious demon under these stars for ages?"

"Sect Master Lin, your prejudices remain as stubborn as ever. Our Netherworld Palace and your Kongming Sect simply hold different philosophies. Since when have we been classified as demons?"

"The true Demon Paths are far more cataclysmic than you could ever conceive. Should a disaster befall them, the entire starry sky would be reduced to a barren wasteland, devoid of any life."

The white-haired elder let out a weary sigh.

"Sir, it seems like your words carry a hidden meaning," Lu Qing observed.

Sensing Lu Qing's curiosity, the white-haired elder offered a faint smile.

"Mr. Lu, have you ever encountered the ancient prophecy whispered among the stars?" he inquired.

Both the woman in white and the Charming Beauty shifted visibly at the mention of this.

Lu Qing, however, looked genuinely confused. "What prophecy?"

The white-haired elder was momentarily stunned by Lu Qing's lack of knowledge but quickly gathered himself.

"I hadn't realized you were oblivious to this, but the matter is both delicate and grave. Would you be willing to spare time to visit a location with me?"

"Mr. Lu, do not be fooled by this cunning old ghost. If you wish to learn of this prophecy, we can inform you just as well; there is no need to fall for his silver-tongued traps!" the woman in white warned sharply.

"Sect Master Lin, though your Kongming Sect boasts a hundred thousand years of history and ancient heritage, it still appears rather naive compared to our Netherworld Palace. Much of the cosmic truth remains hidden from you."

"What I intend to discuss with Mr. Lu concerns the safety of the entire cosmos. The truths involved reach far beyond your limited perception!" The white-haired elder spoke with grim gravity.

"You sects of the Evil Path are notorious for your lies. If your intentions are genuine, why not speak clearly here instead of insisting he follow you into some trap? I suspect you mean to lure him into an ambush!"

The woman in white remained unimpressed, her lip curling in a sneer.

Frustrated by her stubbornness, the white-haired elder felt a headache brewing. He knew the blood feud between the Kongming Sect and the Netherworld Palace was too deep for him to ever sway her.

Turning his focus back to Lu Qing, he spoke directly. "Mr. Lu, I swear upon my reputation that every word I have spoken is true. Are you not at all curious about the fate of the Transformation Immortals who once walked these stars?"

A spark of intrigue flared in Lu Qing's eyes. This was, in fact, a matter he had pondered deeply.

He was well aware that none of the dominant forces under the stars currently claimed a Transformation Immortal as their benefactor, with the Unity Realm Stage seemingly serving as the absolute ceiling.

It appeared all Transformation Immortals had vanished into the ether. Even the Old Cyan Dragon in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm had been cryptic and evasive on the topic, hinting at unseen dangers. If the Netherworld Palace truly held the answer, it was a revelation of immense gravity.

Even the woman in white seemed struck by a thread of doubt. The mysterious disappearance of those ancient figures had always been the greatest enigma in their realm.

Could the Netherworld Palace truly possess the key?

Lu Qing deliberated. While he would not blindly trust a man of the elder's reputation, his curiosity regarding the ancient immortals was piqued.

"If your claims are factual, I would certainly be interested in knowing the truth. However, I have pressing matters to settle, so I cannot accompany you anywhere at the moment," Lu Qing replied finally.

"Mr. Lu..." the woman in white began, her tone colored with urgency.

Before she could continue her appeal, Lu Qing held up a hand. "Rest assured, Elder. I possess sufficient judgment; I will not be easily led astray."
