I Can See Through Ev Chapter 207

Chapter 207

"The Precelestial Realm expert is truly not easy to defeat."

In a forest one mile away from where he had killed the old woman of the Zheng family, Lu Qing sat cross-legged on a large tree, regulating his breathing.

In the previous clash with the elegant old man, it hadn't been as easy as he had made it seem.

In fact, his internal organs had also suffered so shock, but he had completely suppressed his injuries with his strong soul control abilities.

After all, that elegant old man was different from the old woman of the Zheng family.

The old woman of the Zheng family had already suffered serious injuries, her lifespan was short, and her essence, energy, and spirit were no longer at their peak. She had also lost an arm beforehand, rendering her unable to exert even half of her strength.

It was naturally easy for him to kill her.

But the elegant old man was different.

Although he was also elderly, he had done an excellent job in maintaining his energy, and his essence, energy, and spirit hadn't significantly declined, keeping his strength at its peak.

For Lu Qing, it was not easy to defeat such a powerful expert at the initial peak of the Precelestial Realm.

It was only because he had provoked the old man into taking a direct hit from his blade that he had succeeded.

Otherwise, if it had co to a real fight, even if he could have defeated the old man, he would have had to pay a price.

Unless he risked everything and used all his trump cards, he might have a chance to kill him in one strike.

After resting for a while, Lu Qing had fully recovered.

His injuries were much lighter compared to the elegant old man's.

The Diamond Power Talisman not only greatly increased his strength but also doubled his defense.

It was not inferior to the protective true qi of a Precelestial Realm martial artist.

Coupled with his young and strong body, vigorous qi and blood, his recovery was naturally quick. He didn't even need to take any healing dicine; he could quickly recover just by circulating his own qi and blood.

"Hmm? Have they left?"

As soon as he finished healing, Lu Qing sensed that several Precelestial Realm experts were using their body techniques to head toward the state capital. ????N??ΒЁ??

This was the powerful aspect of his soul power after he had condensed the Soul Talisman.

With the enhancent of the Soul Talisman, his soul sensing ability far surpassed that of ordinary initial Precelestial Realm martial artists.

Moreover, he could perfectly conceal his own aura.

Therefore, he could sense the movents of the elegant old man and his companions, while they were completely unaware of his presence.

Sensing that they had left, Lu Qing imdiately moved.

Returning to the previous location, he found that the old woman's body had been taken away, leaving only bloodstains on the ground, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Looking in the direction where the elegant old man and his companions had left, Lu Qing imdiately followed.

He still had sothing to do; he couldn't leave so easily.

Carrying the old woman's body, the elegant old man and his companions returned to the state capital, first tidying up the old woman's body before arriving at the Zheng family residence.

At this ti, the people of the Zheng family were anxiously waiting.

Their ancestor had gone to hunt down the villain who had destroyed the coffin and body of the second son but had not returned for a long ti, causing them to worry.

When they saw the elegant old man and his companions arrive but did not see their mother, the head of the Zheng family imdiately had a bad premonition.

"Uncle Lin, Lord Mayor, why have you co? Are you here to visit my mother? But she just went out not long ago and hasn't returned yet."

Seeing several Precelestial Realm experts arriving together, the head of the Zheng family felt a chill in his heart, not daring to neglect them, and quickly went up to greet them, ntioning his mother to bolster his courage.

However, what made him feel uneasy was that after he finished speaking, he saw several Precelestial Realm experts looking at him with strange eyes.

The Lord Mayor and the three others had eyes full of pity.

And the head of the Cheng family, who had always been at odds with the Zheng family, had a look of schadenfreude.

"Uncle Lin, could it be that sothing has happened to my mother?"

The head of the Zheng family felt an even stronger bad premonition and stuttered as he asked.

The elegant old man sighed, "Nephew, your mother has passed away."

"How is that possible..." The head of the Zheng family felt as if struck by lightning, unable to believe it, "My mother is a Precelestial Realm expert, with profound cultivation. Who could kill her!"

The people of the Zheng residence were also shocked.

"Hmph, just because she's in the Precelestial Realm doesn't an she can't be killed. Given her half-dead state, what's so strange about her being killed!"

The middle-aged man with a jade-like face sneered and mocked.

Seeing him insult his mother, the head of the Zheng family was furious and was about to shout angrily but was stopped by the elegant old man in advance.

"Nephew, your mother has indeed passed away. I have brought her body back. It's outside, you can go see for yourself."

The elegant old man didn't want the head of the Zheng family to confront the jade-faced man at this ti.

The Zheng family and the Cheng family had always been at odds. It was only because of the old woman that they could temporarily coexist peacefully.

Now that the old woman of the Zheng family was dead, the Zheng family had lost a pillar of support, tilting the balance of power between the two families.

If the head of the Zheng family angered the jade-faced man now, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Zheng family imdiately rushed outside, followed by other mbers of the Zheng family.

They then saw the dismbered body of their ancestor lying on a stretcher, already dead for so ti.

"Mother!"

The head of the Zheng family saw his mother's tragic state, his eyes filled with rage and pain.

Other mbers of the Zheng family were also terrified, as if the sky was falling.

"Uncle Lin, who is so vicious to humiliate and harm my mother like this?"

The head of the Zheng family looked up suddenly, his eyes red with grief and anger.

"Don't ask about it. The one who killed your mother is extrely powerful, beyond what your Zheng family can provoke."

The elegant old man said solemnly.

He recalled the power of Lu Qing's blade earlier, his fingers trembling slightly.

The head of the Zheng family was stunned. Before he could continue, the jade-faced man sneered again.

"Don't think about revenge. You should first pray that your Zheng family can survive the coming calamity!"

The head of the Zheng family shuddered, looking warily at the jade-faced man: "Patriarch Cheng, what do you an?"

"What do I an? I ask you, did your Zheng family ever conduct a live burial sacrifice when burying soone?"

"Absolutely not!" The head of the Zheng family felt a jolt but shook his head without hesitation, "These are all groundless rumors. My Zheng family has never done such a thing against the will of heaven!"

On this point, the head of the Zheng family was quite confident.

He knew his mother had such thoughts, but because she was preoccupied with the funeral of Yu'er, she hadn't had ti to implent it. Now the wives and children of those guards were still alive in the dungeon, not having suffered much torture.

"No? Then we shall open the tomb and inspect it. You shall accompany us!" The jade-faced man said.

"Open the tomb?"

The head of the Zheng family was bewildered.

Yu'er had not been buried yet. Previously, even the corpse had been destroyed by the villain. Where was the tomb?

However, the jade-faced man's next words made his face change dramatically.

"Yes, we will open Zheng Shihao's tomb."

"What, you want to open my brother's tomb?"

"Soone reported that during Zheng Shihao's burial, your Zheng family conducted a live burial sacrifice. We need to verify it."

"Ridiculous! My brother has been dead for over twenty years. How can things from over twenty years ago be verified? Patriarch Cheng, this must be a malicious accusation. My Zheng family is upright and would never do such a thing that enrages both heaven and man!"

The head of the Zheng family trembled inwardly but maintained a facade of indignation and certainty.

"Whether it's an accusation, we will find out. Once we open the tomb, everything will be clear. There will be clay figurines of those subjected to punishnt if a live burial sacrifice was conducted. Once the tomb is opened, everything will be evident.

Or are you afraid that we will discover the truth and dare not let us open the tomb?"

The jade-faced man said coldly.

"Of course not, but..."

The head of the Zheng family tried to argue, but by then, the jade-faced man's patience had run out.

His aura surged as he stared at the head of the Zheng family: "Zheng Shijie, don't be shaless. Do you think your Zheng family still has the right to refuse?"

The powerful Precelestial Realm aura pressed on the head of the Zheng family, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He felt imnse grief. If his mother were still alive, how could they let others bully them like this?

Although he knew that the situation was stronger than him, he also knew that if the tomb of his brother were really opened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The head of the Zheng family looked around, but saw that the

Lord Mayor and the old man with the appearance of a child were both indifferent.

It was clear they also supported opening the tomb.

Helpless, he could only look pleadingly at the elegant old man: "Uncle Lin..."

However, his intense reaction had already aroused the suspicion of the other Precelestial Realm experts.

Even the elegant old man couldn't speak for him at this mont, only sighing: "Let's open the tomb."

Seeing that even the elegant old man, who had a connection with his family, wasn't speaking for him, the head of the Zheng family knew that the situation was hopeless. His hands fell to his sides, looking defeated.

Seeing his deanor, the other Precelestial Realm experts were even more convinced of their suspicions.

Half an hour later, at the Zheng family cetery, in front of Zheng Shihao's tomb, the elegant old man and others stood.

Behind them were many powerful martial artists.

To ensure fairness, the Lord Mayor had invited the heads of other families and forces in the state capital.

These heads of families and forces were bewildered when invited.

When they learned that the Precelestial ancestor of the Zheng family had died, they were shocked.

When they heard about opening Zheng Shihao's tomb, they were even more puzzled, not knowing what had happened.

Seeing the solemn faces of the Lord Mayor and the elegant old man, none dared to ask.

These individuals rarely showed themselves in the city.

So heads of small families had only heard of their nas and had never seen them in person.

Now that they had gathered, it must be sothing significant, and no one dared to inquire.

"Open the tomb!"

Following the Lord Mayor's command, the servants of the Lord Mayor's mansion stepped forward with iron picks and shovels and began to dig.

Soon, the tomb entrance was revealed.

The tomb entrance opened, and soone entered to investigate.

The ones entering were special talents hired by the Lord Mayor's mansion, experts in exploring and investigating tombs.

The Zheng family was a prominent family, and Zheng Shihao had been deeply loved by the old woman of the Zheng family. His tomb was naturally extraordinary.

The underground space was large, with many chambers and even various chanisms to prevent tomb robbers.

But these chanisms were nothing in front of the experts sent by the Lord Mayor's mansion.

Soon, those who were sent down brought up a clay figurine from the tomb.

"Lord Mayor, the tomb has many chambers and is lavishly decorated. In the main chamber, there is an ornate coffin with clay figurines kneeling on both sides. This one was in the center."

Everyone's eyes fell on the clay figurine.

The figurine was in a kneeling posture, looking like a young girl, with a vaguely beautiful figure.

But her face was full of pain and resentnt, a mix of beauty and venom, giving the figurine a strange feeling.

When the Lord Mayor and his companions first saw the figurine, their faces beca very grim.

Even so knowledgeable people behind them recognized the figurine and were shocked.

The elegant old man muttered, "How could she beco so cruel, how..."

The Lord Mayor's hand brushed over the figurine.

The clay figurine shattered, a wisp of black air erging, revealing the bones inside.

"A live burial sacrifice. The punished one was sealed underground, their soul eternally trapped in the clay figurine, never to be reborn. How dare that old woman, how dare your Zheng family!"

The Lord Mayor's face was livid, his voice filled with coldness, and his aura was terrifying, as if about to explode.

"What, a live burial sacrifice?!"

At this ti, those who hadn't recognized the clay figurine couldn't help but exclaim.

They all recalled the recent rumors in the city.

They had thought it was soone deliberately targeting the Zheng family, but they hadn't expected that the Zheng family had conducted such a vicious ritual over twenty years ago.

"Lord Mayor, I had no knowledge of this. My brother's tomb was entirely managed by my mother. If I had known, I would have stopped her. Please, Lord Mayor, see the truth!"

The head of the Zheng family knelt on the ground, crying out in fear.

But his cries did not move the Lord Mayor.

"You claim ignorance, but why did you repeatedly try to stop the tomb from being opened? Do you think I'm a fool, Zheng Shijie?"

Hearing the Lord Mayor's cold words, the head of the Zheng family collapsed.

He knew that the Zheng family was finished.

Seeing his state, everyone knew that his previous words were rely pleas for rcy.

They hadn't expected that the usually imposing head of the Zheng family, without support, would also beg for rcy.

Boom! Boom, boom, boom...

As everyone felt disdain, suddenly, loud noises erupted.

Several powerful energy blasts ca from nowhere, striking Zheng Shihao's tomb.

Not only was the tombstone shattered, but several holes were also blasted into the underground chambers.

One blast even pierced through the chest of the head of the Zheng family.
