Chapter 862 The Mastermind, Accountability

Seeing the Five Treasures Taoist priest who had avenged his great enemy, everyone's faces showed complicated expressions.

Especially the disciples and elders of the Wanxiang Dao Sect, they knew just how persistent the Five Treasures Daoist had been in searching for Yun Shu's whereabouts over the years; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a fanatic.

But now that the truth has finally come out, they can't be happy at all.

Because no one expected that the murderer who had been hiding in the shadows was actually the young sect leader they respected the most.

That gentleman, who was usually so gentle and patient, was actually such a beast in human form!

In particular, the Supreme Elders saw them as unparalleled geniuses on whom great hopes were placed, and who might lead their Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect to rise in the future.

He was slowly and brutally tortured by the Five Treasures Taoist, and he felt extremely resentful.

As for Shao Yuntian, he stared blankly at Shao Sidao's bloody corpse, utterly distraught.

She seemed unable to believe that her carefully raised son had died like this.

Seeing Shao Yuntian's appearance, the elders all looked reluctant to let him go.

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

Now, his only son has been subjected to the excruciating torture of slow slicing; one can only imagine the grief he feels.

Even Master Qingxuan couldn't help but speak up at this moment: "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.

"Your Excellency, please show mercy!"

The remaining elders were all shocked upon seeing this and cried out in alarm.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what is this...?"

The Five Treasures Taoist was also taken aback, but Lu Qing's next words stunned him.

"Daoist Master, aren't you curious about how Shao Si Dao learned the secrets of Yun Shu Dao Body back then?"

Upon hearing this, the Five Treasures Taoist priest trembled.

He had certainly thought about this question.

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

Even he only learned about this from his master after his junior sister's accident.

However, Shao Sidao not only knew about this matter, but had also prepared a corresponding evil method to devour his junior sister's Dao body origin and cultivation in order to replenish himself.

It is obvious that someone deliberately leaked the secrets of the junior sister's Dao body to Shao Sidao.

But Wu Bao Daoist has never been able to find out who that person was.

Seeing Lu Qing capture the sect leader, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, could it be that..."

Lu Qing nodded slightly: "That's right. Just now, when I searched Shao Sidao's soul, I learned everything. The one who revealed the secrets of your junior sister's Dao body to Shao Sidao was none other than your sect leader, Shao Yuntian."

Not only that, even Shao Sidao's secret technique was prepared by him in secret.

These words shocked everyone present, and everyone looked on in disbelief.

Lu Qing's calm yet thunderous words resounded across the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect.

It shocked everyone.

"Sect Leader...did the Sect Leader reveal the secret of the Dao Body?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Our Sect Leader is compassionate and merciful, has led the sect for ten thousand years, and has protected countless disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect. How could he do such a heinous thing!"

"Indeed, with the Sect Leader's magnanimity, how could he possibly understand such cruel and evil magic!"

A low gasp of surprise rose from the group of disciples, which they quickly suppressed, but the trembling and disbelief in their voices spread like a tide.

The elders' expressions turned extremely grim, and several elders who were usually on very good terms with Shao Yuntian stepped forward, wanting to speak up and argue.

But when he met Lu Qing's indifferent eyes, all his magical power suddenly froze, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Their hearts were in turmoil.

They acknowledged that Shao Sidao's actions were outrageous and deserved to die.

Who is Ke Shaoyuntian?

That was the leader of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, their backbone, and the pillar that supported the entire Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect in standing tall in the Tianyuan Great World.

For thousands of years, Shao Yuntian has worked diligently and conscientiously, leading the Wanxiang Dao Sect from an ordinary sect to its current height. He has been kind and generous to every elder and disciple, earning the deep respect and love of everyone in the sect.

How could someone like that be the real culprit?
How could she possibly reveal the secrets of her sect's disciples' Dao bodies to her son, allowing him to practice the evil methods that devour Dao bodies and commit heinous crimes?

This is even harder for them to accept than the fact that Shao Sidao is the murderer!

"Lord Lu! You...you can't just spout nonsense!"

Finally, an elderly elder with white hair could no longer contain himself and spoke in a trembling voice, his tone carrying a hint of pleading, but more so a desire to protect.

"Our entire sect knows perfectly well what kind of person our sect leader is. He would never do something like betraying the sect and harming his fellow disciples!"

"Since Shao Sidao is already dead, the soul-searching technique might have been flawed. Perhaps that rebellious son made wild accusations before he died, trying to drag the sect leader down with him!"

"Yes, Venerable Lord 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 implore Your Excellency to investigate thoroughly!"

The other elders echoed their sentiments, their eyes filled with anxiety and reluctance as they looked at Shao Yuntian, who was being 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, leaving him unable to escape the pain of losing his son.

But Lu Qing's words yanked him out of his deepest grief and into even deeper fear and despair.

He was gripped by an invisible force, lifted into the air, his feet off the ground, his magical power completely sealed, and he couldn't even move 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 hint of desperate, desperate sophistry.

"Lu Qing! Don't you dare make false accusations!"

Shao Yuntian roared hoarsely, his voice becoming sharp and piercing as his throat was being choked.

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

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 pin your dirty laundry on me just because you think you're so powerful and untouchable!

Shao Yuntian's acting was incredibly realistic, conveying a complex mix of grief, grievance, and anger. An ordinary person would likely have been completely fooled by him.

Many disciples and elders of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect were shaken upon seeing this.

Yes, the Sect Leader has always been upright and honest, how could he do such a thing? Could it be that the Supreme One has made a mistake?
Just as everyone was wavering, the Five Treasures Taoist slowly raised his head.

The grief and hatred on his face had not yet faded, but his bloodshot eyes looked at Lu Qing with unusual determination, without the slightest doubt.

What is Lu Qing's identity?
That was a supreme being from the heavens above, an existence that overlooked the entire Tianyuan Great World.

He used the Soul Searching Technique to frame and harm a mere sect leader of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect.

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

If he wanted to destroy the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, he wouldn't need any reason at all; he could simply raise his hand and turn the entire sect to ashes.

Therefore, what Lu Qing said must be true. The Five Treasures Taoist's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from extreme chill and anger.

He recalled his madness over the past few centuries.

In his search for his junior sister Yun Shu, he traveled to every corner of the Tianyuan Great World, traversed countless mountains and rivers, tasted all the bitterness of life, and nearly died several times.

He came to the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect countless times, pleading with the sect leader Shao Yuntian and the elders to help him find his junior sister.

Each time, Shao Yuntian would comfort him with a compassionate expression, promising to use all the sect's resources to search for him, and even allocating resources to help him find him.

He always regarded Shao Yuntian as the most respected elder and a reliable support.

He had his suspicions: could it be that the sect leader had revealed his junior sister's Dao body to his son?

However, considering the sect leader's usual magnanimity, he still couldn't be sure.

Unexpectedly, it was indeed this person who leaked my junior sister's secret about her Dao body.

To some extent, Shao Sidao's actions could even be considered as being instigated by him behind the scenes!

At this thought, the Five Treasures Taoist's anger erupted like a volcano, his hand gripping the sword bulged with veins, and his knuckles turned white.

His magical power surged wildly due to extreme anger, and a distorted aura rose from his body.

"Sect Leader...you are so cruel!"

The Five Treasures Taoist's voice was as hoarse as 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 my father and teacher. But behind your back, you personally pushed my junior sister into hell. Do you deserve to be the leader of our Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect?"

"No, I didn't!"

The questioning from the Five Treasures Taoist priest caused Shao Yuntian's expression to change instantly, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

Lu Qing simply looked at Shao Yuntian indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at an ant struggling for its last breath.

He had no interest whatsoever in Shao Yuntian's sophistry.

The Soul Searching Technique was performed by him personally, and all of Shao Sidao's memories were displayed before him like a scroll.

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

In order to make his son, Shao Sidao, an unparalleled genius in the Tianyuan Great World, and to ensure the complete rise of the Wanxiang Dao Sect under his leadership, Shao Yuntian did not hesitate to sacrifice the sect's disciples and use the most insidious means 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 a little disheartened.

The invisible force that had been binding Shao Yuntian suddenly surged!
"Crack!"

The crisp sound of bones cracking rang out clearly in the deathly silent arena.

Shao Yuntian's face was instantly filled with extreme pain. His eyes bulged out and his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't even let out a scream.

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

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

It only lasted a moment.

Shao Yuntian, the sect leader of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, who was just making excuses and trying to gain sympathy, was completely crushed by Lu Qing in an instant!
Crimson blood mist and fine bone fragments spread through the air.

It was then swept away by an invisible flame, instantly incinerated, turning into a handful of light, floating 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 level of the Nascent Soul stage, was easily annihilated and turned to ashes by Lu Qing, who crushed him like an ant!
He didn't even move a finger from beginning to end.

The entire room fell silent.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

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

They dared not move.

I dare not speak.

They didn't even dare to breathe too forcefully.

Just now, Shao Sidao was slowly tortured to death by the Five Treasures Taoist priests, and their hearts were filled with grief and complex emotions.

At this moment, the sect leader Shao Yuntian was crushed and reduced to ashes by Lu Qing in a single thought, leaving them with only extreme shock and fear.

It was awe in the face of supreme power, fear in the face of the impermanence of life and death, and despair at watching the two pillars of the sect die one after another, yet not daring to put up even the slightest resistance.

The elders were ashen-faced and trembling all over. Several elders with weaker cultivation levels almost collapsed to the ground.

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

This supreme being is terrifying.

He is decisive and ruthless, deciding life and death with a single thought. He doesn't ask for reasons or listen to sophistry. Once he has determined the truth, he acts directly without any mercy.

Let alone the fact that they are just elders of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect, even if all the experts in the entire sect attacked together, they would be no match for this Venerable One, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

As the Five Treasures Taoist watched Shao Yuntian turn to ashes, the hatred and obsession that had been building up in his heart for hundreds of years finally dissipated completely.

He slowly released the longsword from his hand, his body swayed slightly, almost falling from mid-air, his face showing a relieved exhaustion, but also a trace of bewilderment.

Great revenge.

The real culprit has been brought to justice.

My junior sister's blood feud has finally been avenged.

But in his heart, there was no ecstatic joy as he had imagined; only emptiness.

For hundreds of years, his obsession sustained him and fueled his mad search for the truth. Now that his obsession has been resolved, he is at a loss.

Lu Qing casually killed Shao Yuntian, then turned his gaze away from the silent Wanxiang Dao Sect members below and slowly looked at Luo Yuantian, the leader of the Holy Alliance, who was standing not far away.

Feeling Lu Qing's gaze, Luo Yuantian's heart also trembled.

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

But in front of Lu Qing, he was extremely cautious, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Because he knew perfectly well that his strength was nothing in front of Lu Qing, and that the other party could easily crush him.

When Lu Qing locked onto him, Luo Yuantian felt as if his mind had frozen, and his legs involuntarily bent slightly as if he wanted to bow.

Lu Qing looked at him and spoke calmly, her 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 opinion?
Let alone the fact that Lu Qing was 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 have any objections.

He quickly lowered his head, respectfully, his voice trembling slightly: "Fellow Daoist's handling of the matter is fair and just. Shao Sidao is a wolf in sheep's clothing, harming his fellow disciples, and Shao Yuntian is an accomplice to evil, ruthless and cruel. Both of them deserve to die. The handling of the matter is appropriate, and I have no objection!"

Luo Yuantian adopted an extremely humble posture, showing none of the majesty of the Holy Alliance Master.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, then changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat indifferent: "Since you have no objections, then I will ask you one more thing."

"Back then, your Holy Alliance arrested Daoist Wubao and Qin Zheng of the Qiankun Sect on charges of being human spies, 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 jolted, and a look of sudden realization instantly appeared on his face, which was then replaced by deep regret.

He finally understood!

Now I understand why Lu Qing suddenly sent him a telepathic message earlier, telling him to "come down and talk!"
Now I understand why Lu Qing personally showed up to support the Five Treasures Taoist and avenge him!
So that's where the root of the problem lies!
