I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 864

Chapter 862 The Mastermind, Accountability

the Five Treasures Taoist: Looking at the Five Treasures Taoist who had finally avenged his great enemy, everyone’s faces showed complex expressions.

Especially the disciples and elders of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect; they knew how persistent the Five Treasures Taoist had been in searching for Yun Shu’s whereabouts all these years—it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him mad.

But now that the truth was finally revealed, they couldn’t be happy at all.

Because no one had expected that the murderer who had been hiding in the shadows was actually their most respected Young Master.

That usually gentle and patient gentleman was actually such a heartless monster!

Especially the Supreme Elders, who had seen their peerless geniuses, on whom they were placed with great hope and who might lead their Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect to rise again

, being skinned alive by the Five Treasures Taoist, felt extremely bitter.

As for Shao Yuntian, he stared blankly at Shao Sidao’s bloodied corpse, utterly distraught.

Seemingly unable to believe that their carefully nurtured son had died so suddenly

, the elders looked on with unbearable sorrow.

They all knew how much effort and resources the sect leader had poured into cultivating Shao Sidao.

Now, their only son had been subjected to such a brutal torture; the grief in their hearts was unimaginable.

Even Qingxuan Zhenren couldn’t help but speak, “Sect Leader…”

However, before he could finish speaking, suddenly, an invisible force grabbed Shao Yuntian’s body, lifted him up, and moved him in front of Lu Qing.

“Supreme Elder, please show mercy!”

The remaining Supreme Elders were all shocked and cried out.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you doing…”

Wubao Daoist was also taken aback, but Lu Qing’s next words stunned him.

“Daoist Master, aren’t you curious about how Shao Sidao learned the secrets of the Yunshu Dao Body back then?”

Hearing this, Wubao Daoist trembled.

He had, of course, considered this question.

Only Master Qingxuan Zhenren and a few Supreme Elders knew about Junior Sister’s Dao Body.

Even he only learned of it from his master after Junior Sister’s accident.

However, Shao Sidao not only knew about it but had also prepared a corresponding evil technique to devour Junior Sister’s Dao Body essence and cultivation to replenish himself.

Clearly, someone deliberately leaked the secrets of Junior Sister’s Dao Body to Shao Sidao.

But Wu Bao Daoshi had never been able to find out who that person was.

Now, seeing Lu Qing capture the Sect Leader, a flash of inspiration struck him.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, could it be…”

Lu Qing nodded slightly: “That’s right. Just now, when I searched Shao Sidao’s soul, I learned everything. The one who leaked the secrets of your Junior Sister’s Dao Body to Shao Sidao was none other than your Sect Leader, Shao Yuntian.

Not only that, but even Shao Sidao’s secret technique was secretly prepared by him.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Lu Qing’s calm yet thunderous words resounded throughout the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect,

shaking everyone to their core .

“Sect Leader…did the Sect Leader leak the secret of the Dao Body?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Sect Leader is compassionate and has led the sect for ten thousand years, protecting countless disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect. How could he do such a heinous thing!”

“That’s right, with the Sect Leader’s magnanimity, how could he possibly understand such cruel and evil techniques!”

Low exclamations arose from the disciples, quickly suppressed, but the trembling and disbelief in their voices spread like a tide.

The elders’ faces were extremely grim. Several elders who were usually on very good terms with Shao Yuntian stepped forward, wanting to argue.

But when they met Lu Qing’s indifferent eyes, their magical power suddenly froze, and they couldn’t utter a single word.

Their hearts were in turmoil.

They acknowledged that Shao Sidao’s actions were heinous and deserving of death.

But who was Shao Yuntian?

He was the leader of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, their backbone, the pillar supporting the sect’s rise in the Tianyuan Great World.

For ten thousand years, Shao Yuntian had worked diligently and tirelessly, elevating the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect from an ordinary sect to its current height. He was kind and compassionate to every elder and disciple, earning the deep respect and love of everyone in the sect.

How could such a person be the mastermind?

How could he personally reveal the secrets of his sect’s disciples’ Dao bodies to his son, allowing him to practice the evil art of devouring Dao bodies and committing heinous crimes?

This was even more unacceptable to them than the fact that Shao Sidao was the murderer!

“Lord Lu! You…you can’t just speak like that!”

A white-haired elder finally couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke tremulously, his voice carrying a hint of pleading, but even more so, a desire to protect.

“We all know what kind of person our Sect Leader is. He would never betray the sect and harm his fellow disciples!

Shao Sidao is dead now. Perhaps the soul-searching technique was flawed, or perhaps that rebellious son made baseless accusations before his death, trying to drag our Sect Leader down with him!”

“Yes, Venerable Lu! This matter is of great importance, concerning the reputation of our Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect Leader and the face of the entire sect. We urge you to investigate thoroughly!”

The other elders echoed, their eyes filled with anxiety and reluctance as they looked at Shao Yuntian, who was held captive in mid-air by Lu Qing’s invisible force .

At this moment, Shao Yuntian was no longer the distraught man he had been moments before.

Shao Sidao’s death was like a sharp blade piercing his heart, plunging him into an inescapable grief.

But Lu Qing’s words had ripped him from the depths of sorrow, plunging him into even deeper fear and despair.

He was gripped by an invisible force, lifted into the air, his feet off the ground, his entire magical power completely sealed, unable to move even a finger.

His once refined and dignified face was now deathly pale, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Lu Qing.

His eyes were filled with resentment, terror, and a desperate, dying attempt at denial.

“Lu Qing! Don’t you dare slander me!”

Shao Yuntian roared hoarsely, his voice sharp and piercing from the grip on his throat.

“I am the head of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, and Yun Shu is a disciple of my sect. Why would I reveal her Dao Body secrets?”

Shao Sidao is my son, but he has committed a grave mistake and deserves to die. Even though I am heartbroken, I will never cover it up!

Don’t try to shift the blame onto me just because you think you are so powerful and untouchable! “

Shao Yuntian’s acting was incredibly realistic, his grief, grievance, and anger intertwined. An ordinary person would likely have been fooled long ago.

Many disciples and elders of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, seeing this, couldn’t help but waver.

Yes, the Sect Leader has always been upright and honest, how could he do such a thing? Could it be that the Supreme Being has made a mistake?

But just as everyone was wavering, the Five Treasures Daoist slowly raised his head.

The grief and hatred on his face hadn’t faded, but his bloodshot eyes looked at Lu Qing with unwavering determination, without the slightest doubt.

What was Lu Qing’s identity?

He was a Supreme Being from the Nine Heavens, an existence overlooking the entire Tianyuan Great World.

A mere Sect Leader of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, and he used the Soul-Searching Technique to frame him?

To Lu Qing, the entire Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, and even the entire human forces of the Tianyuan Great World, were nothing but dust.

If he wanted to destroy the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, he wouldn’t need any reason; he could turn the entire sect to ashes with a wave of his hand.

Therefore, what Lu Qing said must be true.”

The Five Treasures Daoist trembled slightly, not from fear, but from extreme chill and rage.

He recalled his madness over the past few centuries.

In his search for his junior sister, Yun Shu, he had traversed every corner of the Tianyuan Great World, crossed countless mountains and rivers, endured all human suffering, and nearly perished several times.

He had come to the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect countless times, pleading with the sect leader, Shao Yuntian, and the elders for help in finding his junior sister.

Each time, Shao Yuntian would compassionately comfort him, promising to use all the sect’s resources to search, even allocating resources to aid him.

He had always regarded Shao Yuntian as his most respected elder, a reliable support.

He hadn’t been without suspicion that the sect leader might have leaked his junior sister’s Dao body to his son.

But considering the sect leader’s usual magnanimity, he couldn’t be certain.

He never imagined it was truly this person who had secretly leaked his junior sister’s Dao body.

To some extent, Shao Sidao’s actions could even be considered instigated by him!

Thinking of this, the Five Treasures Taoist’s anger erupted like a volcano, his sword-wielding hand’s veins bulging, knuckles white.

His magical power surged wildly with extreme rage, a twisted aura rising from his body.

“Sect Leader…you are so cruel!”

The Five Treasures Taoist’s voice was hoarse like a broken gong.

“For hundreds of years, I have been driven mad by revenge every night, yet I have always treated you with utmost respect, regarding you as a father and a teacher. And yet, behind your back, you personally pushed my junior sister into hell. Do you deserve to be the Sect Leader of our Myriad Manifestations Taoist Sect?”

“No, I didn’t!”

The Five Treasures Taoist’s question caused Shao Yuntian’s expression to change instantly, a hint of panic appearing in his eyes.

Lu Qing, however, merely looked at Shao Yuntian indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if looking at a dying ant.

He had no interest in Shao Yuntian’s sophistry.

The Soul Searching Technique was personally performed by him, revealing all of Shao Sidao’s memories like a scroll before his eyes.

From how Shao Sidao learned the secrets of Yun Shu’s Dao Body from Shao Yuntian, how he secretly cultivated evil arts, how he plotted to frame Yun Shu, and how he gradually covered up his crimes—every detail was crystal clear.

Shao Yuntian, in order to make his son Shao Sidao a peerless genius of the Tianyuan Great World, and to ensure the complete rise of the Wanxiang Dao Sect under his rule, did not hesitate to sacrifice sect disciples and use the most insidious methods to help his son devour the Dao Body’s origin.

He knew all of this clearly from Shao Sidao’s divine memories.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing suddenly felt somewhat disheartened.

The invisible force binding Shao Yuntian suddenly surged!

“Crack!”

A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out clearly in the deathly silent arena.

Shao Yuntian’s face was instantly replaced by extreme pain; his eyes bulged, his mouth opened wide, but he couldn’t even utter a scream.

Before the horrified eyes of all the disciples and elders of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, Shao Yuntian’s body was as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand. His flesh, bones, and meridians instantly disintegrated under that terrifying power.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no dazzling magical light.

It was just a moment.

Shao Yuntian, the sect leader of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, who had just been trying to argue and gain sympathy, was completely crushed in Lu Qing’s single thought!

Crimson blood mist and fine bone fragments spread in mid-air.

Then, they were swept up by an invisible flame, instantly incinerated, turning into a handful of light ashes that scattered with the wind, leaving not a trace.

The dignified sect leader of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, a powerful expert at the sixth tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, was easily obliterated and reduced to ashes by Lu Qing, as if crushing an ant!

From beginning to end, he didn’t even move a finger.

The entire place

was deathly silent. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect stared wide-eyed at the wisp of ashes slowly dissipating in mid-air. Their minds went blank, their bodies chilled to the bone, and a fear from the depths of their souls overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.

They dared not move.

They dared not speak.

They dared not even breathe too forcefully.

Just now, when Shao Sidao was slowly sliced to death by the Five Treasures Daoists, their hearts were filled with grief and complex emotions.

But now, with their sect leader Shao Yuntian crushed and reduced to ashes by Lu Qing in a single thought, all that remained in their hearts was extreme trembling and fear.

It was awe in the face of supreme power, panic in the face of the impermanence of life and death, and despair at seeing the sect’s two pillars die one after another, yet not daring to offer even the slightest resistance.

The elders were even more ashen-faced, trembling all over. Several elders with slightly weaker cultivation even had their legs give way and nearly collapsed to the ground.

Looking at Lu Qing’s figure standing in mid-air, they felt no anger, only endless fear.

This Supreme Being was too terrifying.

Decisive and ruthless, deciding life and death with a single thought, he neither questioned the reasons nor listened to sophistry.

Once he determined the truth, he struck without hesitation. Even if all the experts of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect were to attack together, they would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly helpless before this Supreme Being.

The Five Treasures Daoist watched as Shao Yuntian turned to ashes, and the hatred and obsession that had accumulated in his heart for hundreds of years finally dissipated completely.

He slowly released his longsword, his body swaying slightly, almost falling from mid-air. His face showed a relieved exhaustion, yet also a trace of bewilderment. His

great revenge was complete.

The true culprit was brought to justice.

His junior sister’s blood feud was finally avenged.

Yet, he felt no expected elation, only emptiness.

Hundreds of years of obsession had sustained him, fueling his mad search for the truth. Now that the obsession was over, he was somewhat at a loss.

Lu Qing casually annihilated Shao Yuntian, his gaze lingering on the trembling Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect members below. Instead, he slowly turned and looked at Luo Yuantian, the leader of the Holy Alliance, who stood not far away.

Sensing Lu Qing’s gaze, Luo Yuantian’s heart trembled.

As the leader of the Holy Alliance, a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm, he was usually high and mighty, looking down upon all living beings.

But before Lu Qing, he was extremely cautious, not daring to even breathe loudly.

He knew perfectly well that his strength was nothing compared to Lu Qing’s; the other could easily crush him.

Locked onto by Lu Qing’s gaze, Luo Yuantian felt as if his entire being had frozen, his legs involuntarily bending slightly as if to bow in respect.

Lu Qing looked at him and spoke calmly, his voice carrying an undeniable air of authority: “Luo Yuantian, do you have any objections to my handling of Shao Sidao and Shao Yuntian?”

How could Luo Yuantian dare to have the slightest objection?

Let alone Lu Qing dealing with people from the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, even if Lu Qing were to annihilate the entire human race today, he wouldn’t dare to object.

He quickly lowered his head, respectfully, his voice trembling slightly: “Fellow Daoist’s handling is fair and just. Shao Sidao is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, harming his fellow disciples; Shao Yuntian aided and abetted evil, ruthless and cruel. Both deserve to die. The handling is appropriate, and I have no objections!”

Luo Yuantian’s posture was extremely humble, completely lacking the majesty of the Holy Alliance Master.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, then changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat indifferent: “Since there are no objections, then I’ll ask you one more thing.”

“Back then, your Holy Alliance, on charges of being human spies, arrested Daoist Wubao, along with Qin Zheng and others from the Qiankun Sect, imprisoning and torturing them for many years. Doesn’t your Holy Alliance owe them an explanation for this?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuantian’s body trembled violently, his face instantly showing a look of sudden realization, which was then replaced by deep regret.

He finally understood!

He understood why Lu Qing had suddenly transmitted his voice to him, telling him to “come down and speak”!

He understood why Lu Qing had personally appeared to support Daoist Wubao and avenge him!

So, the root of the problem lay here!
