Chapter 1419: Chapter 857: Star-Crossed Lovers, the 5 Treasures Daoist’s Request (Happy New Year) (Part 4)
He carried the Purple Star Plate and returned to the place where Yun Shu had disappeared.
He placed a strand of Yun Shu’s hair into the Star Plate and used his essence blood as a guide to start the calculation.
The Star Plate spun rapidly, emitting a faint purple light, and countless obscure runes appeared on the surface.
The Five Treasure Taoist sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed his Heart and Spirit entirely in calculation.
He saw the scene where Yun Shu left the workshop, saw her being attacked, but the attackers were not Demon Cultivators. They were a few people wearing sect Daoist robes.
Those people were the personal guards of Shao Sida.
At this point, the heart of the Five Treasure Taoist sank to the bottom. He forced himself to suppress the anxiety in his heart and continued to calculate, as the scenes became clearer.
He saw Shao Sida walk out from the shadows with a cold smile and abduct Yun Shu.
He watched as Shao Sida led Yun Shu into a hidden cave.
Inside the cave, he saw Shao Sida set up a restriction to isolate Spiritual Energy, taking out a strange Array to trap Yun Shu within.
"That is the ’Drawing Rhyme and Stealing Essence Formation,’ an Evil Formation long classified as a Forbidden Technique."
The voice of the Five Treasure Taoist was as cold as the winter snow.
"This formation can forcibly extract the spiritual charm and cultivation of those with special constitutions and transfer them to the one who set the array. Once extracted, the victim’s cultivation becomes exhausted, their spiritual charm is depleted, and their vitality greatly impaired."
Through the Star Plate, he witnessed that appalling scene.
Shao Sida activated the formation, and a pale purple light enveloped Yun Shu as she struggled painfully, constantly calling out "Senior Brother save me," with eyes full of despair and unwillingness.
Shao Sida stood outside the formation, devoid of any pity, instead bearing an almost fanatical greed.
He watched as Yun Shu’s cultivation was gradually extracted and merged into his body, watching his cultivation soar from late-stage Golden Core all the way to Golden Core Perfection before slowly stopping.
And Yun Shu, at the moment the formation stopped, lost all Spiritual Power, her face pale as paper, like a puppet devoid of any vitality.
Shao Sida walked up to her and looked down on her, his voice cold: "Yun Shu, if you had agreed to be my Dao Companion earlier, you would not have ended up like this. With the Spirit Charm Furnace Body in my hands, it is truly used optimally."
Yun Shu slowly raised her head, her eyes devoid of fear, filled only with endless hatred and humiliation.
She looked at Shao Sida, and said word by word: "Shao Sida, even if I become a Fierce Ghost, I will never let you go."
After saying that, she suddenly raised her hand, pulled out the hairpin and stabbed fiercely at her heart.
The hairpin was a birthday gift from the Five Treasure Taoist, carved out of ordinary peach wood, yet treated by her as a precious treasure.
At that moment, the peach wood hairpin pierced into her heart, and the blood dyed her pure white Daoist robe red, also staining the eyes of the Five Treasure Taoist.
Through the Star Plate, he watched Yun Shu slowly fall, watched Shao Sida coldly turn around and leave, watched the cave with only a gradually cold body left behind.
By then, the Five Treasure Taoist could no longer hold back, spurting out a mouthful of blood, dying the Purple Star Plate red.
He collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, the grief and hatred in his heart like an overwhelming tidal wave, almost destroying his Dao Heart.
He finally knew that the junior sister he had been tirelessly searching for over five years had long suffered a cruel fate.
He finally knew, that the supposedly gentle and refined Young Sect Leader was truly so venomous and heartless.
From that day on, the Five Treasure Taoist changed.
He put away his smile, hidden all emotions deep within.
He remained in the sect, continued being that seemingly ordinary Five Treasure Taoist, yet secretly amassed power, cultivated the Ziwei Fate Scripture to elevate his cultivation, while using the Star Plate to gather evidence of Shao Sida’s crimes, seeking an opportunity for revenge.
But Shao Sida, after seizing Yun Shu’s spiritual charm and cultivation, advanced rapidly.
In less than ten years, he broke through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, becoming the youngest Primordial Spirit Cultivator within the sect.
Now, in just a few decades, he has stepped into the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit, holding the power of the Sect Leader Mansion, surrounded by numerous Protectors, far surpassing the Golden Core Cultivator he once was.
Having experienced miraculous encounters, the Five Treasure Taoist has also reached late-stage Golden Core.
With the support of the Ziwei Fate Scripture, he can evade the sect’s investigation.
Yet compared to Shao Sida, the difference is like heaven and earth.
He knew, relying solely on his strength, not to mention revenge, even getting close to Shao Sida was as difficult as ascending the heavens.
These years, he had also considered seeking external aid, but this matter involved the son of the Sect Leader, and Shao Sida had long wiped away the traces of that year. Without conclusive evidence, even other forces are unwilling to easily go against the sect he belongs to.
Until he met Lu Qing.
"Mr. Lu."
The Five Treasure Taoist stored away the Peach Wood Sword Pendant, bowing deeply to Lu Qing, his eyes full of plea.
"If this revenge cannot be fulfilled, I, the Five Treasure Taoist, will never find peace in this life, and my Dao Heart will never reach perfection.
Shao Sida has Sect Leader True Man and the entire sect supporting him, but I am helpless.
I can only shamelessly request, hoping that you will lend your aid."
Having said that, he was about to bend down and kneel.
