I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1421 - 858: Hypocrite, Earth-Shattering Shock (2)

"Junior Sister, you are being too courteous. We are fellow members of the same sect, brothers and sisters, and helping one another is our responsibility."

A gentle smile graced Shao Sidao’s face, resembling the spring sun’s warmth, which swiftly dissolved the barrier in the hearts of the nearby disciples.

"The cultivation path stretches endlessly, and as senior brothers and sisters, it’s natural for us to mentor the juniors to avoid wrong turns on their cultivation journey."

His words prompted immediate agreement from the disciples around him, with waves of admiration echoing nonstop.

"Senior Brother Young Sect Leader sets the perfect example for us all! His talent is unmatched, achieving the Fourth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit Middle Realm in mere centuries, yet he remains so modest. Any other sect’s True Disciple wouldn’t bother patiently teaching us Inner Sect Disciples!"

"Exactly, exactly! Senior Brother Young Sect Leader is our sect’s youngest Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse, bound to reach Unity Realm someday and elevate our Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect to greater heights!"

"The greatest fortune in my life was joining the Spiritual Charm Blessed Land and becoming Junior Brothers and Sisters under Senior Brother Young Sect Leader. Cultivating alongside him guarantees our swift realm breakthroughs!"

"Senior Brother Young Sect Leader wields immense power and possesses a heart of pure kindness. When Demon Beasts ravaged the village at the sect’s mountain base before, he stepped in personally, slaughtering the beasts and rescuing every mortal there—a rare act of mercy in this world!"

Amid the sincere adulation and reverence from the crowd, Shao Sidao kept his smile soft, though a faint glint of disdain and satisfaction hid deep within his gaze.

He relished this sensation, the adoration, worship, and acclaim from all around.

He savored seeing these clueless disciples idolize him as a god.

His patient instruction to the disciples stemmed not from sect camaraderie or true kindness.

He merely thrived on the rush of being idolized, on dominating all with his power and rank.

To him, Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples alike:

Served as mere pieces to flaunt his prestige, instruments to maintain his facade as the "virtuous, compassionate Young Sect Leader."

Those stories of Demon Beast slaying and mortal saving were just shows put on for the sect elders and outsiders.

All to boost his fame, earn the elders’ confidence, and secure his Young Sect Leader role.

The deceptive persona he’d worn for centuries had etched itself into Shao Sidao’s very core.

Occasionally, even he nearly convinced himself of his own gentlemanly nature.

Yet only he understood the brutal, self-serving heart concealed beneath that mild demeanor.

Once upon a time, Junior Sister Yun Shu boasted talent unseen in a millennium.

Her aptitude for cultivation outshone everyone, earning her the title of the sect’s top genius, with prospects far exceeding his own.

Jealousy burned in him for Yun Shu’s gifts, he yearned for her Tao Body Origin, and craved her stunning beauty.

Sadly, that wretched Yun Shu rejected his pursuit outright, humiliating him before others.

She professed love only for Five Treasures, rejecting any notion of becoming his Dao Companion.

How dare she liken me to that loser Five Treasures, even claiming I fall short of that trash!

At that instant, Shao Sidao resolved that Yun Shu would suffer for her insolence!

Thus, he meticulously plotted to draw Yun Shu beyond the sect on a mission, ambushing and seizing her.

He subjected her to endless torments before employing Forbidden Techniques to plunder her Talent Origin and Cultivation Foundation.

Devouring Yun Shu’s talent and foundation skyrocketed his cultivation pace, transforming his solid aptitude into something freakishly superior.

He rocketed to become the sect’s most dazzling prodigy ever, surging to the Fourth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit Middle Realm.

Regarding Five Treasure Taoist, Yun Shu’s childhood companion and brother figure with unbreakable bonds, he probed her death covertly and dimly uncovered Shao Sidao’s deeds.

Shao Sidao couldn’t tolerate such a lurking threat, but his flawless secrecy left no proof, so outright slaying Five Treasure Taoist risked alerting the elders and derailing everything.

Luckily, that trash had consorted with Devils earlier and landed in the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison.

To him, the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison equaled a mortal hell; even Primordial Spirit Realm masters would meet their end there.

A mere Golden Core Realm minor figure like Five Treasure Taoist was doomed to die soon, sealing the secret forever.

These years, he basked in ease, reveling in universal praise while firmly entrenching his position.

He only awaited his advance to the Fifth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit to claim the Sect Leader throne outright, then the entire Ten Thousand Years Dao Sect would bow to him.

But he never dreamed that Five Treasure Taoist, fated to rot in the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison, had been freed!

Shao Sidao vividly recalled the shock when reports of the Holy Alliance’s public execution of Five Treasure Taoist swept Central State Domain—he believed the danger gone, only for rescue news to follow.

Who pulled off that rescue?

An existence so fearsome that even the Holy Alliance Master, Demon Clan Lord, and Demon Race Master—three Unity Realm titans—trembled before it.

Recalling that entity sent chills racing through Shao Sidao, dread crashing over him like a storm.

For years, he’d dispatched agents covertly to track Five Treasure Taoist’s location, finding nothing. He prayed for Five Treasure Taoist’s eternal absence while dreading a sudden return to unveil his crimes.
