I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1428 Chapter 860: Get Down, Lingchi_3

"No! Impossible!"

A momentary distraction later, Shao Sidao let out a frenzied scream, as though driven insane.

Abruptly rising from the ground, he jabbed a finger at the illusionary technique hovering in midair, bellowing wildly: "This is an illusion technique! It's all fake! You conjured this illusion with sinister arts—it's not real at all! You're framing me!"

To the very end, he denied everything, clinging desperately to his final act of defiance.

Shaoyun Tian snapped back to reality too; his complexion shifted rapidly from pale blue to ashen white, prompting him to lunge forward in a bid to argue his case.

Yet, confronted by the furious glares surrounding him, the words on the tip of his tongue were forcefully gulped back.

Lu Qing fixed his icy gaze on the raging Shao Sidao, his aura surging with bone-chilling ferocity, akin to a glacial blade amid a winter storm, sending shivers through all onlookers.

"Stubborn to the core—looks like you need a harsh lesson before spilling the truth." With those words, Lu Qing blurred into motion, materializing before Shao Sidao in an instant, his speed so blinding that the crowd caught only a fleeting shadow, too swift for any response.

Before Shao Sidao could even twitch, Lu Qing's palm clamped onto his skull, unleashing a torrent of Divine Soul Power that crashed into his sea of consciousness like a raging tidal wave, initiating a brutal soul search!

"Ah!"

A gut-wrenching howl tore from Shao Sidao's throat.

His body spasmed violently, blood gushing from every orifice, as Lu Qing ruthlessly rifled through the memories in his sea of consciousness, exposing every hidden secret and atrocity in full.

The Soul Searching Technique proves utterly merciless; victims suffer the agony of a fracturing soul while every private detail gets dragged into the open, stripping away all privacy.

"Stop!"

Enraged at the sight, Shaoyun Tian cast aside his terror and sprang ahead to halt it, yelling, "Supreme, the boy acted out of ignorance and confusion; please show mercy—everything can still be talked over!"

But the instant he stirred, a thunderous snort reverberated across the skies and earth.

"Hmph!"

Luo Yuantian unleashed this disdainful huff, his Great Power of Unity Realm Divine Soul pressure exploding outward, slamming into Shaoyun Tian like an ancient divine peak.

Poof!

Shaoyun Tian spewed blood on the spot, his form hurtling backward like a severed kite string, smashing into the square with the unmistakable crack of shattering bones, leaving him sprawled and immobile.

His wounds, already dire, now teetered on the brink of death.

Still, Luo Yuantian's expression remained frosty, laced with clear revulsion.

Under Luo Yuantian's dominance, none dared intervene, silently observing as Lu Qing's soul search forced Shao Sidao to divulge the unvarnished truth.

"I was wrong... I am not human..."

"I killed Yun Shu, I was jealous of Five Treasures, I kidnapped her, killed her, burned her body, killed the guards...

"My father helped me cover up my crimes, he framed Five Treasures, he colluded with people from the Holy Alliance to substantiate the charges..."

"I have also secretly harmed disciples of other sects, I have hidden evil techniques, I have committed all kinds of vile acts..."

Shao Sidao's raspy, broken utterances haunted the square like spectral wails, laying bare each and every crime, every despicable deed without omission.

From slaying Yun Shu to falsely accusing innocents, from injuring fellow sect members to stashing forbidden arts, his offenses were too heinous to utter, grotesquely vile. As his admissions rang out, fury swelled among the listeners, their stares brimming with profound loathing—such vermin deserved ten thousand deaths and still wouldn't suffice!

The Five Treasure Taoist lingered nearby, tears flowing freely, his long-buried hatred erupting volcanically, converting years of injustice, torment, and inner demons into a seething inferno.

Lu Qing gradually withdrew his grip from Shao Sidao's head; soul-searched and broken, the man slumped like a sack of sludge, eyes vacant, sea of consciousness in ruins, reduced to a worthless shell. Sparing a glance at the fallen wretch, Lu Qing turned to the Five Treasure Taoist, tone even and detached: "He's yours to handle, do as you wish." These words hit the Five Treasure Taoist like a thunderbolt to the soul.

Staring at the killer of his love, the architect of his endless disgrace, his gaze held no shred of compassion—only boundless chill and venom. Slowly, the Five Treasure Taoist unsheathed his waist sword, its edge glinting murderously, mirrored in his crimson eyes.

"Yun Shu, today I avenge you!"

Roaring in fury, the Five Treasure Taoist clutched the sword and advanced on Shao Sidao.

Terror filled Shao Sidao's eyes as the avenger drew near; he yearned to resist, to beg, but his frame lay powerless, voiceless save for agonized gasps.

Showing zero reluctance, the Five Treasure Taoist hoisted the blade high, hacking away methodically.

Blood geysered, shrieks filled the air; mercy absent, each stroke unleashed accumulated hatred and anguish, determined to make Shao Sidao taste every torment, repaying Yun Shu's murder with his flesh!

Across the square, none obstructed, none pitied.

Shao Sidao reaped his just reward; his demise evoked no sorrow.

At last, the shrill cries faded, Shao Sidao's life extinguished in gruesome ruin, bringing grim satisfaction to all.

The Five Treasure Taoist gripped his gore-slicked sword amid the blood pool, shedding quiet tears; decades of heart demons dissolved then, his being unburdened, as if shedding a mountain's weight.

Turning, he prostrated deeply before Lu Qing, voice thick with emotion: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for delivering justice for me and Yun Shu!"
