I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 863

Chapter 861 Get down here! (Lingchi – a form of slow slicing)

“You want evidence? Then I’ll give it to you.”

Everyone was astonished when Lu Qing said this, all eyes turning to him.

This guy actually said he had evidence?

Shao Sidao’s smug expression froze.

Even the Five Treasures Taoist looked up blankly at Lu Qing.

He hadn’t expected Lu Qing to say such a thing.

Lu Qing ignored the others’ gazes and helped the Five Treasures Taoist up.

Seeing the Five Treasures Taoist’s tearful state, he sighed softly.

It seemed that what happened back then had indeed brought the Five Treasures Taoist immense inner demons.

To be so easily provoked by words had thrown him into such a state of turmoil, completely losing his usual sharpness and composure.

Did he even consider that Lu Qing didn’t need so-called evidence to do his thing?

However, looking at the Five Treasures Taoist’s condition, Lu Qing understood. Killing Shao Sidao was easy enough

, but that alone might not be enough to eliminate the Five Treasures Taoist’s inner demons.

There was something else Lu Qing only learned now: the Holy Alliance hadn’t cleared the names of Wu Bao Daoist and Qin Zheng.

Although he didn’t care about being called a demon— after all

, his actions certainly earned him that label from many forces in the Tianyuan Great World—

Wu Bao Daoist and Qin Zheng would still be cultivating there, and the charge of colluding with demons would still have some impact.

“Your Excellency, you say you have evidence?”

Wu Bao Daoist’s master, Qingxuan Zhenren, couldn’t help but ask.

The others also stared intently at Lu Qing.

Shao Sidao was incredibly nervous, but at the same time, he desperately told himself that the other side couldn’t possibly have any evidence.

He had already destroyed all traces long ago; that bitch Yun Shu’s corpse had been burned to ashes.

Even the guards involved in the matter had been silenced afterward. Furthermore, so many years had passed, and even Wu Bao, that good-for-nothing, hadn’t found any concrete evidence after all that time

; Lu Qing couldn’t possibly have any.

“It’s clear you’re quite confident.”

Lu Qing chuckled at Shao Sidao’s expression, then turned to the sect leader and several elders of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect.

“And you all, do you think you can restrain me with words and your so-called reputation? You think too easily. When have I, Lu, ever cared about others’ opinions when I want to kill someone?”

Upon hearing this, Shao Yuntian and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

Then they heard Lu Qing continue, “However, since you want evidence, I might as well play along. I’ll call a witness for you.”

With that, Lu Qing suddenly looked up and calmly said to the heavens, “Luo Yuantian, get down here!”

Although Lu Qing’s tone was calm, his words resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

It made everyone’s minds feel as if a giant mountain was pressing down on them.

As he spoke, the laws of heaven and earth trembled and permeated the heavens.

It directly caused Luo Yuantian’s cave to shake violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.

“What happened?!”

Luo Yuantian was instantly jolted awake from his cultivation, his heart filled with utter horror.

Then he heard a divine soul transmission enter his cave.

“Luo Yuantian, get down here!”

The echo reverberated throughout the cave.

“It’s that person’s voice!”

Hearing this transmission, Luo Yuantian’s fear intensified.

“What’s going on? I don’t think I’ve offended this person recently, have I?”

Since apologizing to Lu Qing last time, Luo Yuantian had immediately entered the deepest level of seclusion.

He was determined not to emerge from seclusion until Lu Qing truly left the Tianyuan Great World, lest he provoke this person again.

After all, his family was almost penniless, and he didn’t have many top-grade spirit stones left to compensate.

But he didn’t expect that even though he had already entered seclusion, he was still forcibly awakened by Lu Qing, and even his cave was almost destroyed.

“Damn it, who on earth provoked this jinx this time!”

Although Lu Qing’s words were extremely disrespectful, Luo Yuantian was furious.

However, he dared not delay for a moment, immediately sending a wisp of his divine sense to manifest a divine sense clone and enter the Tianyuan Great World.

He was afraid that if he was even a little slow, he would truly anger Lu Qing and plunge himself into an abyss of no return.

“What happened?”

“What does that person who summoned Luo Yuantian want to do?”

The fluctuations of the laws of heaven and earth were too vast, and even the Demon Lord Xuan Tu Jinlong and the Demon Lord Yuan Mo, who were on the other side of the world’s membrane, were alarmed.

They all extended their divine senses to pay attention to the movements within the Great World.

“Luo Yuantian, isn’t that our Holy Alliance Master?”

Inside the Tianyuan Great World, Shao Yuntian and the several Supreme Elders changed their expressions drastically upon hearing Lu Qing’s words.

Ordinary disciples might not know the meaning of the name Luo Yuantian, but how could they not know?

That was the name of the Holy Alliance Master who had ruled the Holy Alliance for countless years, a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm, the strongest human in their Tianyuan Great World!

And what did this person just say? He actually told the Holy Alliance Master to get down?

“Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?”

Just as Xiang Yuntian and the others were in shock, a stream of light descended from the sky, and a figure materialized in the next moment. The

moment this figure appeared, the Daoist aura emanating from him caused the laws of heaven and earth to resonate, and his presence made Xiang Yuntian and the others feel incredibly oppressed.

What shocked them even more was that they recognized the newcomer as none other than Luo Yuantian, the elusive leader of the Holy Alliance!

Upon arriving, Luo Yuantian immediately began to survey his surroundings.

Seeing the expressions of Xiang Yuntian and the others, and observing the surrounding situation,

he, who also possessed some divination skills, quickly grasped the situation within a few breaths, and inwardly groaned.

He knew he was about to be tricked again.

He knew that Lu Qing’s awakening of him was definitely not for anything good.

“It’s nothing. I just need you, the leader of the Holy Alliance, to witness some things. You don’t need to say anything, just watch from the side.”

Lu Qing glanced at Luo Yuantian, who stood bowing and not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and said indifferently.

Then he turned to look at the Five Treasures Taoist beside him.

“Taoist Master, take out the peach wood sword talisman that your junior sister gave you back then.”

The Five Treasures Taoist was shocked. He reached out with trembling hands and took out a peach wood sword talisman from his bosom.

The sword talisman was crudely made, just carved from ordinary peach wood, without any spiritual energy fluctuations, and looked ordinary.

But it was the most precious treasure in his heart, the only memento that Yun Shu left him.

For so many years, he carried it with him day and night, rubbing it countless times, and his fingertips had long since smoothed the patterns on the sword talisman.

Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, holding this sword talisman, he could remember Yun Shu’s smiling face, the promise they made when they were young, and also the heart-wrenching betrayal and death.

“Fellow Daoist…” The Five Treasures Daoist’s voice choked with emotion as he respectfully presented the peach wood sword talisman to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing took the talisman, his fingertips gently touching its rough texture, a barely perceptible wisp of divine soul power seeping into it.

Although this talisman possessed no spiritual power, it carried a trace of Yun Shu’s life essence and bore the causal trajectory of the events of that year.

To others, it was merely an ordinary relic, but to him, a master of supreme divination, it was the key to unlocking the truth.

“Look closely, this is the evidence you wanted.”

As Lu Qing finished speaking, his right hand rose into the air, and endless starlight suddenly burst forth from his palm. The Milky Way reversed, chaos was rewritten, and an illusory space instantly materialized, hovering in mid-air and enveloping the entire Wanxiang Dao Sect plaza.

Everyone’s gaze was drawn to this illusory space. Within it, the Milky Way flowed, and time rewound.

Scenes appeared with crystal clarity, as if they were truly unfolding before their eyes.

In one scene, the young Wubao Daoist and Yun Shu walked together, gathering herbs in the mountains and laughing by a stream.

Yun Shu’s eyes were gentle as she tied a peach wood sword talisman she had carved herself to Wubao Daoist’s waist, softly whispering a promise to spend their lives together.

The scene was pure and beautiful, moving many to tears, especially Wubao Daoist, who wept uncontrollably.

Then, the scene abruptly shifted.

Dressed in fine robes, Shao Sidao, his face sinister, hid behind the bushes, watching the two conversing intimately, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

He had pursued Yun Shu for years, but Yun Shu only had eyes for the Five Treasures Daoist, never even glancing at him. His

long-held obsession and jealousy had twisted his mind, giving rise to malicious thoughts.

What followed sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

On a dark and windy night, while Yun Shu was out on a sect mission, Shao Sidao, accompanied by several trusted guards, captured and abducted her, taking her to a secluded mountain cave.

In that cave, Shao Sidao tortured Yun Shu relentlessly, ultimately using a dark magic to absorb all of her Daoist essence and cultivation into his own body.

Afterwards, Shao Sidao burned the body to ashes, letting them scatter in the wind.

He also silenced all the guards involved, destroying all traces.

Then, he turned the tables, framing the demonic cultivator for Yun Shu’s murder.

One by one, the entire sequence of events, the causes and consequences, the conspiracies and schemes—

all were clearly presented within the illusionary space, without any concealment, laid bare before everyone.

A deathly silence fell over the plaza.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock and rage, their gazes towards Shao Sidao as if looking at a heinous demon, filled with contempt and disgust.

The Five Treasures Taoist, witnessing the brutal murder of Yun Shu, let out a heart-wrenching wail, spitting out a mouthful of blood, nearly fainting.

So many years of inner demons, so many years of grievances and pain, all erupted at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot, his entire body surging with killing intent, wishing he could tear Shao Sidao to pieces immediately.

Qingxuan Zhenren’s face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Shao Sidao.

His disciple had his essence extracted, suffering unimaginable torment before dying, while the true culprit remained at large—this was the shame of his entire life!

The moment Shao Sidao saw these images, his face turned ashen, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant, as if his soul had been ripped away.

He thought he had acted flawlessly, erasing all traces, and that after so many years, no one could possibly uncover the old case.

But he never imagined that Lu Qing possessed such extraordinary abilities, capable of rewinding time and revealing the truth of what happened back then in its entirety!

All his pretense, all his smugness, was shattered in that instant, exposed to the light of day.

“No! Impossible!”

After a brief moment of disorientation, Shao Sidao roared like a madman.

He scrambled to his feet, pointing at the illusory space in mid-air, shouting maniacally, “This is an illusion! It’s all fake! It’s a fabrication you created with evil magic, it’s not real at all! You’re framing me!”

Even now, he refused to confess, still making a final struggle.

Shao Yuntian also came to his senses, his face alternating between pale and flushed, and hurriedly stepped forward to try and defend himself.

Seeing the angry gazes of the crowd around him, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Lu Qing’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at the unruly Shao Sidao, his aura becoming incredibly chilling, like an icy blade in the dead of winter, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.

“Stubborn to the end, it seems you won’t tell the truth without a lesson.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qing’s figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of Shao Sidao. His speed was so fast that everyone only saw a blur, having no time to react. Before

Shao Sidao could struggle, Lu Qing’s hand had already gripped his crown, and an immense, unparalleled surge of divine soul power, like a tsunami, directly rushed into Shao Sidao’s sea of consciousness, forcibly beginning a soul search!

“Ah!”

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Shao Sidao’s mouth.

His body convulsed, blood flowing from his seven orifices. The memories in his sea of consciousness were forcibly stripped away and examined by Lu Qing; all the secrets, all the crimes, were completely revealed in this moment.

The Soul-Searching Technique is extremely cruel. The victim not only suffers the agony of their soul being scattered, but all their secrets are laid bare, leaving them with nothing left to hide.

“Stop!”

Seeing this, Shao Yuntian’s eyes widened in fury. Forgetting his fear, he leaped forward to stop them, shouting, “Your Excellency, my son was ignorant and acted rashly. I beg you to show mercy, fellow Daoist! We can discuss this!”

But the moment he moved, a chilling snort suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

“Hmph!”

This snort came from Luo Yuantian, followed by a vast power emanating from him and descending upon Shao Yuntian.

*Pfft!*

As a Dao Integration Realm cultivator, Luo Yuantian’s divine sense clone, though only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, possessed a power that ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could not withstand.

Even with the strength of a sixth-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator, Shao Yuntian instantly coughed up blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the plaza.

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible; he could no longer rise.

He was visibly severely injured and on the verge of death.

Yet Luo Yuantian’s face remained cold, his eyes filled with disgust, showing no mercy whatsoever.

With Luo Yuantian’s suppression, the others dared not make a move. Everyone watched silently as Shao Sidao, under Lu Qing’s soul-searching, automatically confessed the truth.

“I was wrong… I’m not human…”

“I killed Yun Shu, I was jealous of Wu Bao, I kidnapped her, killed her, burned her body, killed the guards…”

“I also secretly harmed disciples of other sects, I possessed evil arts, I committed countless atrocities…”

Shao Sidao’s voice was hoarse and broken, echoing like a ghost across the plaza. He recounted all his crimes and despicable deeds, word for word.

From murdering Yun Shu to framing him, from harming his fellow disciples to hoarding evil arts, each and every crime was countless and utterly despicable.

As the crowd listened to his confession, their anger intensified, their eyes filled with utter disgust. Such scum deserved to die a thousand times over!

The Five Treasures Taoist stood to the side, tears streaming down his face. His hatred erupted like a volcano; years of grievances, years of pain, years of inner demons—all transformed into boundless hatred in this moment.

Lu Qing slowly released his hand from Shao Sidao’s crown. After being subjected to the soul-searching, Shao Sidao collapsed to the ground like a rag doll, his eyes glazed, his consciousness shattered—he was now a cripple.

He glanced at the collapsed Shao Sidao, then looked at the Five Treasures Taoist, his voice calm and unwavering: “The man is yours. Do with him as you see fit.”

These words struck the Five Treasures Taoist like a thunderbolt.

He stared at the man before him, the murderer of his beloved, the one who had caused him centuries of torment. His eyes held no pity, only endless coldness and hatred.

The Five Treasures Taoist slowly drew his longsword, its blade gleaming coldly, reflecting in his crimson eyes.

“Junior Sister, today I will avenge you!”

With a roar, the Five Treasures Taoist, sword in hand, approached Shao Sidao step by step.

Shao Sidao, seeing the approaching Five Treasures Taoist, was filled with terror. She wanted to struggle, to beg for mercy, but her body was limp, unable to utter a sound, only groaning in pain.

Without hesitation, the Five Treasures Taoist raised his sword, and with each stroke ,

he slowly sliced Shao Sidao down. Blood splattered, screams rose and fell. The Five Treasures Taoist showed no mercy; each strike was an outpouring of years of hatred and pain. He wanted Shao Sidao to taste every form of suffering, to pay for Yun Shu’s death!

On the plaza, no one stopped him, no one showed sympathy.

Shao Sidao deserved her fate; her death was not a pity.

After a long while, the piercing screams gradually subsided. Shao Sidao was completely lifeless, his death gruesome, much to the delight of the people.

The Five Treasures Taoist, holding his blood-stained sword, stood in the pool of blood, tears silently streaming down his face. Years of inner demons had finally vanished at this moment, leaving him feeling light and relieved, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted.

He turned and bowed deeply to Lu Qing, his voice choked with emotion: “Thank you, fellow Daoist, for seeking justice for me and for Yun Shu!” (End of Chapter)
