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

Right now, Shaoyun Tian was no longer wearing that expression of complete and utter despair.

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

However, Lu Qing's single remark dragged him from his profound grief, hurling him into even deeper terror and hopelessness.

An invisible power seized his neck, hoisting him up into the air with feet dangling off the ground, his mana entirely sealed, leaving him unable to budge even a finger.

His formerly refined and majestic face had become deathly pale, eyes blood-red, glaring viciously at Lu Qing.

His gaze brimmed with resentful terror, along with a spark of desperate defiance.

"Lu Qing! Don't falsely accuse me!"

Shaoyun Tian roared in a raspy voice, the sound turning shrill and grating from his constricted throat.

"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 how much my heart aches, I won't shield him!

Don't think your superior Cultivation lets you pin this on me without opposition!"

Shaoyun Tian's performance was utterly persuasive, blending sorrow, outrage, and fury; ordinary folks would probably have fallen for it already.

Numerous disciples and elders from Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, witnessing this, began to hesitate inwardly.

The sect leader has always been righteous and principled—how could he commit such an act? Could the Supreme truly be wrong?

Yet, just as doubts stirred in the crowd's minds, Five Treasure Taoist gradually raised his head.

The rage and loathing on his face lingered, but his bloodshot eyes fixed steadily on Lu Qing, devoid of any uncertainty.

Who exactly was Lu Qing?

He stood as a supreme being from the highest realms, gazing down upon the whole Heavenly Origin Great World.

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

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 dust.

Should he desire to annihilate Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, no justification was needed; a mere gesture could reduce the whole sect to ashes.

Therefore, whatever Lu Qing declared had to be the truth.

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

Memories of his centuries-long frenzy flooded back.

In pursuit of his fellow disciple Yun Shu's location, he scoured every inch of the Heavenly Origin Great World, crossing endless peaks and rivers, braving mortal hardships, cheating death and ruin time and again.

He visited Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect repeatedly, begging sect leader Shaoyun Tian and beseeching the elders for aid in locating his fellow disciple.

Every visit, Shaoyun Tian displayed sympathy, vowing to mobilize the sect's full resources for the hunt and even providing supplies to support him.

He had always honored Shaoyun Tian as the most venerable senior, a steadfast mainstay. He once harbored suspicions that this sect leader might have disclosed his fellow disciple's Dao Body secret to his son.

Yet, given the sect leader's typical generosity, certainty eluded him. To his shock, this man had indeed leaked his fellow disciple's Dao Body secret.

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

This realization ignited the fury in Five Treasure Taoist's heart like an erupting volcano, veins throbbing on his sword-clutching hand, knuckles whitening.

His mana surged wildly from overwhelming wrath, a warped aura coiling up from his frame.

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

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

"For hundreds of years, madness drove my quest for revenge, and I held you in highest esteem, seeing you as father and mentor, yet you covertly shoved my fellow disciple into the abyss—do you even deserve to lead 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 flat and unmoved, like watching a pathetic insect's vain writhings.

He cared nothing for Shaoyun Tian's denials.

He had executed the Soul Searching Technique himself, with all of Shao Sida's memories unrolling before him like an open book.

From how Shao Sida learned Yun Shu's Dao Body secret from Shaoyun Tian, to secretly practicing Evil Techniques, plotting against Yun Shu, and concealing his deeds step by step—every bit was laid bare.

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

Lu Qing grasped every detail from Shao Sida's soul memories.

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

The invisible restraint on Shaoyun Tian abruptly intensified!

"Crack!"

A sharp snap of breaking bone rang out crisply across the hushed plaza.

Agony twisted Shaoyun Tian's features in an instant, eyes popping wide, mouth agape, robbed even of a cry. Beneath the horrified stares of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect's disciples and elders, Shaoyun Tian's form—clenched by an unseen colossal grip—saw its flesh, bones, and meridians torn apart in a flash by the horrifying pressure.

No thunderous boom shook the earth, no brilliant spell lights dazzled.

Merely a single moment.
