I Can See Through All Things' Information

Chapter 282: Chapter 207: Looting and Treasure Hunting_2
 

Time was running out, and the elegant elderly scholars would likely return to the city before long.

Lu Qing didn’t have enough time to use his Superpower to identify each treasure in the storage room, so he simply collected them all.

After all, the space inside the Qiankun Qi Bag was vast, so he wasn’t worried about running out of space.

Soon after, Lu Qing had completely looted the vast storage room.

It was all thanks to his robust Divine Soul Power; otherwise, a regular person in the Innate Realm, even with a Qiankun Qi Bag, would probably be unable to take so many items away.

After all, activating the Qiankun Qi Bag to store items also consumed a certain amount of Divine Soul Power.

After looting the storage room, Lu Qing found something strange.

Although there were many treasures in the storage room, their quality and level were still lacking.

He had briefly looked over them and the highest quality he saw was only a Red Light mixed with a sliver of golden Superpower Light.

Logically speaking, for a family like the Zheng Family, with centuries of heritage, there should be some more impressive treasures.

“It seems that the Zheng Family must have an even more hidden treasure trove.”

Lu Qing stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

He had just stepped out of the storage room when he suddenly heard a fierce shout, “Who are you, daring to trespass into the storeroom!”

Lu Qing looked up to see a middle-aged beautiful woman, with her eyebrows turned upside down and her face full of Evil Qi, staring at him, accompanied by two guards and a green-clothed nanny.

Seeing the information appearing above the middle-aged beautiful woman, Lu Qing’s eyes lit up.

“You’ve come just at the right time; I was worried about not having someone to show me the way.”

When the middle-aged woman met Lu Qing’s gaze, she felt an inexplicable chill rise in her heart.

Before she had a chance to do anything, the green-clothed nanny had already stepped in front of her with a solemn face.

“Madam, be careful, this man is no ordinary person.”

The two guards also drew their swords, for they had seen the two colleagues lying at the entrance of the storage room.

However, as soon as their swords were drawn, they felt a sharp pain in their chests, and their strength drained away like water, causing them to collapse to the ground.

Lu Qing casually disposed of the two guards, and in the next instant, he was already in front of the middle-aged woman, reaching out to grab her.

The green-clothed nanny was startled; she hadn’t expected Lu Qing to be so strong that the two guards in the Internal Organ Realm couldn’t stop him at all.

Feeling the oppressive force emanating from Lu Qing, the green-clothed nanny dared not hold back the slightest bit; a cold breath emerged as she shook her wrist sharply, and a flash of silver light suddenly shot out from her sleeve toward Lu Qing’s throat at a rapid pace.

“Soft Sword, Grandmaster Level Swordsmanship?”

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected this nanny, with weak Qi-Blood and merely at the Internal Organs Small Success Realm, to possess such swordsmanship.

However, with his current strength, even Grandmaster Level Swordsmanship was completely inadequate in front of him.

With a flick of his finger, he deflected the Soft Sword aimed at his throat, and then his five fingers clenched where his right hand, originally grabbing at the middle-aged woman, formed a fist seal, erupting with Qi-Blood, and he threw out a fierce and unmatched punch.

Boom!

Before Lu Qing’s Fist Intent infused boxing, the green-clothed nanny stood no chance, was instantly hit in the chest by the punch, thrown back, and slammed into a giant pillar.

Her chest collapsed, her gaze became vacant, and it was clear she was not going to survive.

“Although your swordsmanship is not bad, the aura about you also makes me quite unhappy.”

Lu Qing spoke indifferently after hitting the green-clothed nanny so hard that she exhaled without inhaling.@@novelbin@@

Even without using his Superpower to probe, he knew the old nanny must have been stained with many lives, and moreover, involved in deaths wrought by torture.

His gaze lingered on her corpse for a few moments, and he discovered that this green-clothed nanny had been the personal maid who followed Old Lady Zheng for many years.

And she had played a “role” in that horrifying case of human sacrifice years ago.

“Indeed, they are a nest of snakes and rats; this Zheng Family is truly rotten to the core.”

Lu Qing looked toward the middle-aged woman, and the latter, who was already trembling with fear, gave a jolt and instantly knelt down.

“Mercy, good sir, please don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”

Her voice was plaintive, looking very pitiful indeed.

“Lady Zheng, is it?” Lu Qing’s voice was indifferent. “If you want to live, take me to your Zheng Family’s treasure vault. If I find the contents satisfactory enough, I might spare your life.”

The middle-aged beauty had wanted to argue that this was the only treasure vault the Zheng Family had.

But when she looked into Lu Qing’s indifferent eyes, which seemed as if they could peer right through a person’s heart, a chill surged in her heart, and she dared not play any more tricks.

“Brave sir, I only know of one other treasure vault in the mansion, which might be where our ancestor lived. Beyond that, I truly know no more. I fear the Green-clothed nanny might know more than I do.”

The Green-clothed nanny, naturally, was the old nanny who Lu Qing had just killed.

However, Lu Qing did not regret it.

A maid who had served that old lady for so many years would surely be both deeply cunning and utterly loyal.

Even if she were willing to guide him, who knew whether or not to trust her guidance.

Keeping her alive might have led to his own downfall.

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Qing shoved an elixir into the middle-aged woman’s mouth and quickly pressed a point on her throat, forcing her to swallow it.

Under the middle-aged beauty’s horrified gaze, Lu Qing said indifferently, “The poison I just administered is my unique concoction. Without the antidote in two hours, you’ll inevitably die in agony as your intestines rupture. You understand what I mean, right? Now lead the way.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged beauty’s face took on a look of ashen defeat, and she could only nod resignedly in agreement.

Lu Qing stripped one of the guards of his clothes and put them on, then tossed several corpses into the storeroom and shut the door.

Although such a rudimentary disguise couldn’t last long, it didn’t bother him, as all he needed was a bit of time.

“Let’s go.”

After his disguise was complete, Lu Qing ordered.

The Zheng Mansion was indeed in chaos at the moment.

Though Lu Qing’s skirmish with the Green-clothed nanny had caused a commotion, nobody had come to investigate even now.

Having witnessed Lu Qing’s ruthless methods, the middle-aged beauty had completely lost the will to resist. She led Lu Qing toward another direction within the mansion.

With someone to guide him and Lu Qing’s powerful Divine Soul Sensing Ability,

The two of them managed to reach the courtyard mentioned by the middle-aged beauty without alerting anyone.

Witnessing how Lu Qing seemed to predict the movements of others, avoiding everyone as if by foreknowledge, the middle-aged beauty grew even more in awe of him.

“This is the courtyard where the old ancestor lived. I’ve heard my husband say there’s a secret vault entrance in the old ancestor’s room, but I’ve never been in there. In the whole Wei Family, only the ancestor, my husband Zheng Shihao, and Zheng Yu have ever been inside.”

As she spoke, a trace of hatred flashed in the middle-aged woman’s eyes.

Even that useless Zheng Yu had been allowed into the secret vault, yet her son, as the eldest, had never been permitted to enter.

That old thing was infuriatingly biased.

Lu Qing sensed the hatred in the middle-aged beauty’s tone, but he didn’t care.

In a great family like this, there was no end to such sordid affairs, and he had no interest in learning about them.

Taking the middle-aged woman with him, he entered the old lady’s room and, under the scrutiny of Superpower, quickly located a Hidden Door.

To his surprise, the Superpower did not detect any traps behind the door.

Apparently, the old lady was confident that nobody would intrude on her bedroom.

But Lu Qing wasn’t careless.

Made of steel and nearly indistinguishable from the wall, the Hidden Door was solid to the touch when Lu Qing knocked on it.

Without a way to unlock it, it would be difficult to get inside.

However, this did not deter him. With the middle-aged beauty watching, Lu Qing took a long blade from his Qiankun Qi Bag and with a few swift strokes, he had slashed the steel door to pieces.

Kicking open the Hidden Door, Lu Qing entered with the middle-aged beauty, whose face had turned deathly pale.

The passage beyond the Hidden Door was short, and after cautiously checking, Lu Qing found indeed there were no traps inside.

Soon, the two of them arrived in a small chamber.

In the chamber, Luminous Pearls provided bright illumination.

However, it wasn’t the lighting that surprised Lu Qing; what caught his attention first in the chamber caused his eyes to gleam with excitement.
