I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1422 - 858: Hypocrite, Earth-Shattering Shock (3)

Even if it was just the Five Treasure Taoist by himself, Shao Sida felt no fear; smashing him would be effortless. Yet, standing behind the Five Treasure Taoist is that horrifying existence!

If that being decided to strike, it wouldn’t merely destroy him—the entire Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect would face total annihilation!

"Senior brother, what’s wrong?" A True Disciple next to him saw Shao Sida’s face grow a bit pale and immediately asked with worry.

Shao Sida quickly regained his composure, a mild smile returning to his features as he shook his head softly: "It’s nothing. I was just running my cultivation technique and sensed a bit of unease, but it’s not a big deal."

"Oh, got it. Senior brother, you’ve probably been pushing your cultivation too hard—please look after your well-being!" the disciple responded hastily.

Shao Sida gave a small nod and said nothing further. He stored the White Jade Folding Fan, then saluted the group: "The lesson for today is over. Practice on your own. Come to me tomorrow if you have questions."

With those words, he pivoted and walked toward his residence, Siyun Hall, his gait still graceful, though only he understood the storm of worry and killing intent churning in his chest.

Back in Siyun Hall, the doors slammed shut with a bang, blocking out every external noise.

The warm smile on Shao Sida’s face disappeared in an instant.

In its place appeared a dark scowl, malice etched between his eyebrows, a total reversal of his earlier kindly air.

He marched to the jade throne in the hall and took a seat, his fingers drumming lightly on the armrest, each thud echoing like a blow to the soul.

"Someone, get in here!"

Shao Sida barked icily, his tone frozen and devoid of any kindness.

Two black-armored guards from outside, both at the peak of Golden Core Realm, flashed inside at once, dropping to one knee and lowering their heads in respect: "Subordinates pay respects to the Young Sect Leader!"

"Any updates on the Five Treasure Taoist I told you to track?"

Shao Sida stared coldly at the pair, a faint trace of murder in his voice.

The guards shuddered violently, heads bowed even lower, as they answered: "To the Young Sect Leader, we’ve secretly trailed the Five Treasure Taoist’s location for years now.

However, ever since that being pulled him from the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison years ago, the Five Treasure Taoist vanished completely off the face of the earth, without a single clue.

We’ve scoured every major and minor city, along with all sects’ hidden realms across the world, but discovered nothing."

"Useless! You’re nothing but worthless trash!"

Shao Sida smashed the jade throne’s armrest fiercely, sending out a surge of Primordial Spirit Power that made the two guards cough up blood, hurling them back to crash into the hall’s stone pillars, where they writhed helplessly trying to rise.

"A mere fatso at Golden Core Realm, and you idiots can’t find him after all these years—what good are you!"

Shao Sida rose to his feet, his body wrapped in deadly intent.

"That fatso kept digging into Yun Shu’s case the whole time. He lacked proof, but he remains a lurking danger!

Rescued by that being, who can say what secrets he’s uncovered in these years!

Should he come back to the sect and spin tales of the past, even if the elders dismiss him, seeds of suspicion against me will sprout!"

His carefully built reputation over centuries mattered most; its downfall would spell ruin.

Once Shao Sida’s false mask shatters in public view, his path to dominating the sect would face countless hurdles.

Besides, the Five Treasure Taoist has that fearsome power backing him; any move from it would lead to unthinkable disaster!

"Young Sect Leader, calm your anger—we subordinates accept our failure!" The guards scrambled to kneel and plead, shaking uncontrollably.

Shao Sida drew a long breath, reining in his fury with effort, realizing rage solved nothing; the priority was rooting out the Five Treasure Taoist threat for good.

He paced deeper into the hall, turning away from the guards, eyes fixed darkly on the cloud sea outside, dark plots racing through his thoughts.

"That fatso hasn’t surfaced in years, likely probing in the shadows and too scared to appear openly."

Shao Sida muttered: "Lacking proof, he can’t touch me even if he shows up at the sect.

Considering that being’s status, it won’t strike at a young one like me without ironclad evidence, or risk ridicule."

Still, he couldn’t afford any openings; the fatso had to vanish utterly before revealing anything, erasing all risks!

"But that existence terrifies me too much; direct moves would alert it, and failure means doom for me..."

Shao Sida’s brows knitted deeply as he pondered intensely.

A perfect scheme was needed—one to erase the Five Treasure Taoist without exposing himself or disturbing the monstrous force protecting him.

For probing Yun Shu’s issues, the Five Treasure Taoist couldn’t cling forever to that being; he’d venture out eventually.

Yet after escaping the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison, the fatso would be hyper-vigilant; simple snares wouldn’t catch him.

"What should I do... How to wipe out this lurking danger without a trace..."

Shao Sida balled his fists hard, nails piercing his skin and drawing blood, but pain meant nothing to him.

Flashes of memory surged: Yun Shu’s gruesome end, the Five Treasure Taoist’s piercing stare during his probe back then.

And the mythic, chilling aura when that being freed him—dread built relentlessly, like a catastrophe loomed near.

While Shao Sida desperately schemed ways to crush the Five Treasure Taoist with ruthless plans.

Boom!!!

A deafening blast rocked the Spiritual Charm Blessed Land without warning!

It wasn’t mere thunder—its shock dwarfed the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder by a billionfold, like the world itself got punched brutally.

The whole mountain range of Spiritual Charm Blessed Land quaked fiercely, palaces, pavilions, and Martial Arts Arena on the main peak groaning with piercing cracks.

Enormous cracks split the earth, spiritual energy exploded chaotically, flooding outward like a monstrous wave!

Cultivating disciples jolted awake in panic from the quake, staggering from their chambers, staring skyward in horror and confusion.

"What’s going on?! Why is the ground shaking like this?!"

"What awful power! Not a Demon Beast raid or realm cave-in—this is... an supreme force descending on our Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect?!"

"No way! Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect stands as a top cultivation power—who dares unleash might over our territory?!"

"Check the heavens! What in the world is that?!"

One disciple jabbed at the sky, letting out a scream of pure fright.
