I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1425 Chapter 859: Quibbling and Struggling_3

Lu Qing kept his hands folded behind his back, his eyes steadily scanning Shaoyun Tian along with a few Supreme Elders, remaining utterly silent.

That mere glance plunged Shaoyun Tian and the rest into a frozen chasm, their souls as if encased in ice, hardly daring to take a deep breath.

Beads of sweat formed on Shaoyun Tian's brow, fully aware that today's affair wouldn't conclude smoothly. This almighty figure had arrived in person alongside the Five Treasures, obviously to address Yun Shu's unresolved death, plainly set on backing the Five Treasures and executing Shao Sida.

However, Shao Sida stood as his sole son and an unrivaled prodigy within the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, the sect's beacon for tomorrow.

Should he perish right here today, the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect would face a devastating setback, potentially spiraling into irreversible decay!

Though filled with profound awe deep inside, Shaoyun Tian gathered his resolve to speak out, striving to argue logically and bargain: "Your Excellency, I've learned of today's incidents.

The Five Treasure nephew claims my son Shao Sida killed his senior brother Yun Shu and absorbed his essence. This issue carries immense weight, tied to our sect's regulations and dignity, and above all, it's a life-or-death concern, far from insignificant."

"The Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, boasting a legacy of thousands of years, has forever championed righteousness, never tolerating any villains. Should my son indeed perpetrate such an atrocity, I, Shaoyun Tian, would lead in holding him accountable!

I'd make certain he faces punishment per sect rules, soothing Yun Shu's soul up above."

"Yet... all must rest on proof. The Five Treasure nephew offers only spoken claims right now, lacking solid proof to confirm my son's wrongdoing.

Should Your Excellency strike based purely on one side's story to slay our prospective sect leader, it could damage Your Excellency's standing, branding you as one who oppresses the vulnerable."

Shaoyun Tian's statements sealed every loophole, showing deference to Lu Qing while claiming the ethical upper hand.

He compelled Lu Qing to furnish proof, while implying that rash force from Lu Qing would only sully his own name.

The nearby Supreme Elders swiftly voiced agreement.

A gray-robed Supreme Elder declared, "Your Excellency, the sect leader is correct. Yun Shu's vanishing years back prompted our sect to pour vast resources into probes, finally determining demons had seized him, with official records as proof, not just rumors."

"The Five Treasure nephew faced charges of allying with foul demons, and despite Your Excellency's rescue, that stain lingers uncleared. His accusation against Shao Sida lacks backing, so others might see it as grudge-driven vengeance."

All eyes turned to the Five Treasure Taoist, brimming with doubt and scrutiny.

The Five Treasure Taoist's cheeks burned red, fury and agony twisting together as his fists balled tight, nails piercing his skin till blood flowed.

Long ago, he had barely survived, devoting endless nights to deductions, pouring in ages of toil.

In time, from sect remnants, he pieced together the full truth of Shao Sida slaying his sister and consuming her essence, every bit seared into his mind and soul.

Yet his cultivation lagged, his deductive arts mere basics, powerless to project the envisioned scene or supply tangible proof or testimonies!

Shao Sida had acted with utmost caution then, wiping away every trace flawlessly.

Even participants got silently eliminated by him.

Centuries later now, no evidence he could muster would sway the crowd!

"I... I...

The Five Treasure Taoist parted his lips, voice strangled, words failing him.

All he could do was witness Shao Sida's face twist with scorn and arrogance, despair nearly engulfing him.

Would ages of patience and torment end without justice for his sister?

Could this pretender escape punishment eternally, basking in undeserved fame and power?

Qingxuan Zhenren observed his disciple's anguished hopelessness, guilt swelling in his chest.

With a soft sigh, he approached the Five Treasure Taoist and murmured counsel, "Disciple, I know you've endured wrongs for years and can't let go of Yun Shu's passing.

But proof is essential for everything. You lack it now; even Your Excellency can't casually behead Shao Sida."

"That era's events brim with suspicions. I probed covertly repeatedly yet uncovered nothing.

Steady yourself, don't let rage blind you, or you'll drag trouble onto Your Excellency and invite blame."

Qingxuan Zhenren's words acted as the breaking point, shattering the Five Treasure Taoist's last mental barrier.

He crumpled to the ground heavily, bloody tears streaking from his eyes, kowtowing deeply to Lu Qing, "Mr. Lu, I'm useless! I can't deduce proof or reveal the facts. I've let down my sister and her soul above! I..."

Witnessing the Five Treasure Taoist's total devastation, Little Yan frowned, a frigid energy bursting forth, chilling the whole Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect abruptly; her stare at Shao Sida brimmed with killing intent, "You vile scum, evidence or not, I can still end you to ease my fury!"

Little Li fumed as well, her tiny feet stamping, fire flaring around her, "Right! Boss, no more talk with these fools. Take out this scum and vindicate fat Five Treasures!"

The small beast atop Lu Qing's shoulder lifted its head too, crimson eyes gliding over Shao Sida, issuing a deep growl, an aura of primeval savage beast radiating, instantly toppling Shao Sida to the floor, his visage drained white as sheet.

Shaoyun Tian and the Supreme Elders hurriedly protected Shao Sida, pouring full cultivation to resist the aura, inwardly exhaling in relief.

They realized the Five Treasure Taoist had no proof, and regardless of Lu Qing's might, force without basis risked his prestige; today, Shao Sida was secure!

Shao Sida sprawled on the ground, eyeing the prostrate Five Treasure Taoist, his gaze openly sneering and triumphant, chuckling inwardly. Five Treasures, so what if you grasp the truth? Backed by a supreme powerhouse or not, without proof, you're powerless against me! That accursed Yun Shu's essence is fully mine now, fueling my path. I'm the Young Sect Leader of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, tomorrow's Sect Leader, while you stew in eternal hate and misery!

Just watch, post this day, I'll wipe you out completely, banishing you from existence!

Disciples of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect underneath began murmuring, their looks at Five Treasure Taoist turning from astonishment to doubt, even faint contempt.

"Looks like Brother Five Treasures truly lacks proof, just defaming Brother Young Sect Leader."

"Sigh, I believed Brother Five Treasures was innocent, but apparently the Holy Alliance was spot on; demons did corrupt him." "Brother Young Sect Leader shows grace by ignoring him, but he pushes further, allying with outsiders to invade the sect—way too far!" Hearing the buzz around, the Five Treasure Taoist's spirit plummeted, body icing over, despair hitting its zenith.

At that moment, a tranquil voice, infused with heaven and earth's Great Dao, echoed across the entire Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, reaching every listener distinctly.

Not booming, yet laced with absolute command, it quelled all chatter instantly, stiffening the grins on Shaoyun Tian and Supreme Elders' faces, snuffing Shao Sida's smugness.

High in the skies, donned in a spotless blue robe like fresh snow, Lu Qing hovered hands behind back, gazing serenely at the masses below, his slender lips moving as he uttered deliberately:

"Evidence is what you seek; then evidence you'll have."
