I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1430 - 861: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes, Accountability (Part 2)

Right now, Shaoyun Tian had abandoned the look of total despair that had gripped him moments before.

Shao Sida's death stabbed into his heart like a dagger, immersing him in the profound sorrow of bereavement.

However, Lu Qing's one remark dragged him from that deep grief, hurling him into even greater terror and hopelessness.

An unseen power seized his throat, hoisting him skyward with feet dangling helplessly, his mana fully locked away, not even a single finger able to stir.

His formerly elegant and stately visage had gone deathly pale, eyes crimson with rage, glaring venomously at Lu Qing.

Resentment and terror filled his gaze, laced with a spark of frantic defiance.

"Lu Qing! Don’t accuse me unjustly!"

Shaoyun Tian bellowed in a raspy tone, his voice sharpening to a shrill edge from the chokehold on his neck.

"I am the sect leader of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, Yun Shu is a disciple of my sect, why would I betray the secret of her Dao Body?

Shao Sida is my son, but he committed serious errors, his death was justified, no matter the agony in my heart, I would never shield him!

Do not think that your superior Cultivation lets you frame me without opposition!"

Shaoyun Tian's performance rang true, blending sorrow, outrage, and fury; ordinary folks would surely be fooled by now.

Numerous disciples and elders from Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, witnessing this, began to doubt their convictions.

The sect leader has always been righteous and steadfast—how could he stoop to this? Might the Supreme truly be wrong?

Yet as the onlookers' resolve flickered, Five Treasure Taoist gradually raised his head.

The wrath and loathing on his features lingered, but his blood-veined eyes fixed steadily on Lu Qing, brimming with absolute certainty.

Who was Lu Qing?

An entity from the highest realms, surveying the vast Heavenly Origin Great World.

Why would the trifling sect leader of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect employ Soul Searching Technique to falsely incriminate him?

To Lu Qing, the full might of the Human Race in Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect—or even the entire Heavenly Origin Great World—amounted to mere specks of dirt.

Should he desire it, annihilating Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect required no excuse; a mere gesture could reduce the whole sect to cinders.

Therefore, Lu Qing's words rang with undeniable truth.

Five Treasure Taoist shuddered faintly, not in fright, but from icy rage and fury.

Memories flooded him of his centuries-long frenzy.

To uncover Yun Shu's location, his fellow disciple, he scoured every inch of the Heavenly Origin Great World, crossing endless peaks and rivers, braving mortal hardships, cheating death repeatedly.

He visited Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect innumerable times, begging sect leader Shaoyun Tian, beseeching the elders for aid in the hunt.

Every visit, Shaoyun Tian feigned sympathy, vowing to unleash the sect's full resources for the search, even granting supplies to support him.

He had always honored Shaoyun Tian as the noblest elder, a steadfast mainstay.

He had once suspected this sect leader of spilling his fellow disciple’s Dao Body secret to his son.

Yet given the sect leader’s typical benevolence, certainty eluded him.

To his shock, it was indeed this man who divulged Yun Shu’s Dao Body secret.

In certain ways, Shao Sida’s atrocities were even spurred by him from the shadows!

This realization ignited Five Treasure Taoist’s fury like an erupting volcano, veins throbbing on his sword hand, knuckles whitening.

His mana surged wildly from the overwhelming wrath, a warped aura coiling around him.

"Sect leader... what a merciless heart you possess!"

Five Treasure Taoist’s voice grated like a damaged bell.

"For centuries, madness drove my quest for revenge, I held you in highest esteem, like a father and mentor, yet you covertly thrust my fellow disciple into the abyss—do you merit leading Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect?"

"No, it’s not true!"

Five Treasure Taoist’s accusation drained the color from Shaoyun Tian’s face, panic flickering in his eyes.

Lu Qing simply observed Shaoyun Tian with cold detachment, his gaze unmoved, like watching a pathetic insect's vain writhings.

He cared nothing for Shaoyun Tian’s denials.

The Soul Searching Technique had been executed by his own hand, revealing Shao Sida’s memories like an open book.

From how Shao Sida learned Yun Shu’s Dao Body secret via Shaoyun Tian, to his covert practice of Evil Techniques, his plots against Yun Shu, his meticulous cover-ups—every bit was laid bare.

Shaoyun Tian offered up sect disciples and wielded the vilest methods to help his son consume the Dao Body Origin, all to forge Shao Sida into Heavenly Origin Great World’s supreme prodigy and elevate Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect under his dominion.

He had gleaned every detail from Shao Sida’s soul memories.

With this in mind, Lu Qing abruptly lost all interest.

The invisible grip on Shaoyun Tian intensified explosively!

"Crack!"

A sharp snap of breaking bone resounded through the hushed plaza.

Agony twisted Shaoyun Tian’s features in an instant, eyes popping wide, jaws agape, robbed even of a cry.

Beneath the horrified stares of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect’s disciples and elders, Shaoyun Tian’s form—clutched by an invisible colossal fist—saw its flesh, bones, and meridians torn asunder by the horrific pressure.

No thunderous boom shook the earth, no brilliant spells lit the sky.

Merely a single moment.
