Chapter 1430: Chapter 861: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes, Accountability (Part 2)

At this moment, Shaoyun Tian no longer displayed the appearance of just being lost in utter despair.

The death of Shao Sida pierced his heart like a sharp blade, leaving him trapped in the grief of losing a son.

Yet, a single statement from Lu Qing yanked him out of his extreme sorrow, throwing him into deeper fear and despair.

His neck was gripped by an invisible force, lifting him into the air, his feet off the ground, with all his mana completely sealed, unable to even move a finger.

His previously genteel and dignified face had turned paper white, eyes bloodshot, staring fiercely at Lu Qing.

His eyes were filled with resentful fear, and a hint of desperate rebuttal.

"Lu Qing! Don’t accuse me unjustly!"

Shaoyun Tian shouted hoarsely, his voice turning sharp and piercing due to his strangled 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 made grave mistakes, his death was deserved, no matter how pained my heart may be, I will never cover up!

Do not think that you can blame me simply because of your profound Cultivation, without anyone to challenge you!"

Shaoyun Tian’s acting was undeniably convincing, with grief, indignation, and anger intertwined; common people would likely have been deceived by him by now.

Many disciples and elders of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, seeing this, could not help but waver.

Indeed, the sect leader has always been upright and sound, how could he do such a thing? Could it truly be that the Supreme was mistaken?

But just as the crowd was swaying in their hearts, Five Treasure Taoist slowly lifted his head.

The fury and hatred on his face had not yet dissipated, yet those bloodshot eyes looked firmly at Lu Qing, without any doubt.

Who was Lu Qing?

He was an existence from the heavens above, overlooking the entire Heavenly Origin Great World.

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

To Lu Qing, the entire power of the Human Race in Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, indeed the entire Heavenly Origin Great World, was but dust.

If he wished to destroy Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, he needed no reason, with a raise of his hand the entire sect could be turned to ash.

Thus, what Lu Qing stated must be true.

Five Treasure Taoist trembled slightly, not from fear, but from extreme coldness and anger.

He recalled his madness over the centuries.

To find out the whereabouts of his fellow disciple Yun Shu, he roamed every corner of the Heavenly Origin Great World, traversing countless mountains and waters, enduring human suffering, narrowly escaping death and destruction multiple times.

He came to Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect countless times, pleading with sect leader Shaoyun Tian, imploring the elders to help find his fellow disciple.

Each time, Shaoyun Tian showed compassion, assuring him that he would employ all the sect’s powers for the search, even allocating resources to aid him.

He always regarded Shaoyun Tian as the most respected elder, a reliable pillar.

He had suspected before that it might be this sect leader who leaked his fellow disciple’s Tao Body secret to his son.

But considering the sect leader’s usual magnanimity, he could never be sure.

Unexpectedly, it truly was this person who leaked the secret of his fellow disciple’s Dao Body.

In some respects, the deeds of Shao Sida were even instigated by him from the shadows!

At this thought, the anger in Five Treasure Taoist’s heart erupted like a volcano, veins bulging on his sword-gripping hand, knuckles turning white.

His mana flared madly due to extreme anger, a twisted aura rising from his body.

"Sect leader...what a ruthless heart you have!"

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

"For centuries I have been consumed by madness in search of vengeance, treating you with utmost respect, viewing you as a father and teacher, yet you secretly pushed my fellow disciple into Hell, do you deserve to be the sect leader of Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect?"

"No, it’s not true!"

Five Treasure Taoist’s questioning instantly changed Shaoyun Tian’s complexion, a hint of panic appearing in his gaze.

While Lu Qing merely watched Shaoyun Tian indifferently, his eyes devoid of any ripple, as if observing a feeble ant’s futile struggle.

He had no interest in Shaoyun Tian’s rebuttals.

The Soul Searching Technique was personally performed by him, all of Shao Sida’s memories unfolding before him like a scroll.

From how Shao Sida came to know the secret of Yun Shu’s Dao Body from Shaoyun Tian, how he secretly cultivated Evil Techniques, how he schemed against Yun Shu, how he covered his crimes step by step, every detail was crystal clear.

Shaoyun Tian sacrificed sect disciples and employed the most insidious means to aid his son in devouring the Dao Body Origin, all to make Shao Sida the unparalleled genius of Heavenly Origin Great World and to let Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect rise completely under his rule.

He learned all of this clearly from Shao Sida’s divine memories.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing suddenly felt a bit uninterested.

The invisible force restraining Shaoyun Tian suddenly surged!

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of bone fracturing echoed clearly in the dead silent grounds.

Shaoyun Tian’s face was instantly replaced with extreme agony, his eyes bulging abruptly, mouth wide open, unable to even let out a scream.

Under the panicked gaze of all Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect’s disciples and elders, Shaoyun Tian’s body, as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, had its flesh, bones, and meridians momentarily dismantled under the terrifying force.

There was no earth-shattering deafening sound, no dazzling display of magic light.

Just an instant.
