I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 484

Amidst a dense, towering mountain range, several figures dashed swiftly through the forest.

One figure was fleeing in the front, while the rest pursued closely behind.

Each of them exuded powerful auras, sending waves of fear through the mountain’s creatures. Birds took flight, and beasts scattered in terror.

"Li Bao, don't even think about escaping! You violated the Sacred Mountain’s prohibition. Just for a single spirit herb, you massacred the entire Miao Clan village—hundreds of lives wiped out! You deserve to die!

Did you think hiding in this remote region of Qiao Prefecture would keep you safe?

Even if you make it back to your sect, do you really think Cangshan Sect would dare shelter you? Surrender now and return with us to the Sacred Mountain to face judgment!"

The figure at the forefront of the chase showed no signs of slowing, and in fact, was gaining distance.

Growing anxious, the leader of the pursuers bellowed angrily.

"Hahaha… Sacred Mountain brats! If you have the skill, then catch me first!

So what if I killed some lowly commoners? You want me to go to Sacred Mountain to bear the consequences?

Bah! You damn dogs of Sacred Mountain! One day, when my divine cultivation reaches perfection, I’ll trample your so-called Sacred Mountain to dust!

Even the Three Holy Lords will kneel before me, begging for their lives!"

The fleeing figure, called Li Bao, laughed wildly, his tone dripping with arrogance.

The ones chasing him were merely early-stage Precelestial cultivators.

As someone who had reached mid-stage Precelestial, on the verge of breaking through to the next realm, he had no reason to fear them.

If not for Sacred Mountain’s intimidating reputation, he would have already turned back and slaughtered these brats!

"Audacious! How dare you insult Sacred Mountain and the Holy Lords!"

The pursuers burned with fury.

As enforcers of Sacred Mountain, their reverence for both the mountain and its Three Holy Lords was absolute.

Hearing Li Bao’s blasphemy, their rage boiled over.

In his wrath, the leading youth no longer hesitated. He reached into his robe, pulled out a talisman, and infused it with his spirit.

A moment later, a bolt of lightning shot forth from the talisman, striking toward Li Bao with terrifying speed.

"What?!"

Sensing the sudden burst of lethal energy, Li Bao was thrown into a panic. He abandoned his escape and instinctively rolled to the side.

Even so, a searing pain erupted from his right arm as the lightning grazed past.

An earth-shaking explosion followed.

"Aaah! My arm!"

Li Bao clutched his right side in horror—his entire arm was gone!

All that remained was a charred, blackened stump.

His right arm had been completely incinerated by the lightning.

"Li Bao, let's see where you can run now!"

As he writhed in agony, his pursuers finally caught up, surrounding him with drawn weapons.

The lead youth held another white talisman in his hand, aiming it directly at Li Bao.

The energy radiating from the talisman sent shivers down Li Bao’s spine.

"Li Bao, you have nowhere left to run. Surrender now and return to Sacred Mountain with us!"

The youth’s voice was cold and resolute.

"Lightning Talisman… I can’t believe someone like you—a mere early-stage Precelestial—actually possesses a Lightning Talisman!"

Li Bao’s face turned deathly pale.

He had long heard rumors that Sacred Mountain’s enforcement squads sometimes carried powerful talismans.

However, most were only basic ones like the Lightness Talisman.

Talismans as deadly as the Lightning Talisman were usually reserved for enforcers at mid or late Precelestial stage—or even those at Foundation Establishment.

And yet, this early-stage Precelestial had one.

No wonder they had dared to chase him, despite the difference in cultivation!

"Because of you, I was forced to use this precious talisman that took me ages to earn."

The youth's heart ached at the thought.

The Lightning Talisman had cost him countless contribution points to acquire.

He had intended to save it as a trump card for an emergency. Instead, he had been forced to use it on this mission.

And now, it only had one more use left.

Even capturing Li Bao wouldn’t be enough to make up for the loss.

His heart bled with regret.

Still, he steadied his mind and gave his order.

"Seal his cultivation and bind him!"

"Yes!"

The other enforcers responded in unison.

They took out spiritual needles and drove them into Li Bao’s key acupoints, completely sealing his cultivation.

Then, they used a specially crafted rope—woven from the tendons of rare beasts—to tie him up.

Throughout the process, the youth kept his Lightning Talisman aimed at Li Bao, ensuring he didn't make any sudden moves.

With such a short distance between them, if Li Bao tried anything, he would be struck down instantly.

Just a glancing blow had cost him an arm.

If he took a direct hit, he would die without question.

Li Bao knew this too, which was why he didn’t resist.

But his expression had turned bleak.

He knew the ways of Sacred Mountain.

The crime he had committed was severe.

Once he was brought back, even if they didn’t execute him on the spot, he would undoubtedly face a lifetime of imprisonment.

The youth didn’t care about Li Bao’s fate.

This was a man who had slaughtered an entire village just for a single spirit herb.

To call him ruthless and depraved would be an understatement.

As a Sacred Mountain enforcer, the youth had no sympathy for such scum.

If it weren’t for the mission, he would have killed Li Bao on the spot.

The others in the squad felt the same.

With their prisoner secured, they wasted no time. They hoisted him up and set off toward Sacred Mountain.

The return journey was uneventful.

The Sacred Mountain’s enforcement squad commanded great respect.

Even the major sects showed deference upon encountering them, not daring to interfere.

After all, they represented Sacred Mountain.

And Sacred Mountain was not just home to the Three Holy Lords.

Behind them, there was still that one person.

Any sect that had participated in the Holy Assembly ten years ago knew just how terrifying he was.

After traveling tirelessly, the squad finally arrived back in Zhongzhou.

In the distance, a towering and majestic mountain came into view.

As they gazed upon the sight of Sacred Mountain, a fervent light flickered in their eyes.
