Chapter 1429: Chapter 861: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes, Accountability

Looking at the Five Treasure Taoist who had finally avenged his great hatred, the crowd wore complex expressions on their faces.

Especially the disciples and elders of the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, they knew all too well just how obsessed the Five Treasure Taoist had been over the years in searching for Yun Shu’s whereabouts—almost to the point of madness.

But now that the truth had finally come to light, they couldn’t bring themselves to feel joyful.

For no one had expected that the murderer who had always lurked in the shadows was, in fact, the Young Sect Leader they respected the most in their hearts.

That gentlemanly figure, always so gentle and patient with others, had actually hidden such a beastly heart beneath his human facade!

Especially the Supreme Elders who saw in him the genius destined to lead the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect to rise again.

Yet now, he was skinned alive one sword at a time by the Five Treasure Taoist, leaving a bitter aftertaste in their hearts.

As for Shaoyun Tian, he stood there, in a daze, looking at the bloody corpse of Shao Sida, utterly lost.

It seemed he couldn’t believe that the son he had painstakingly nurtured had met such an untimely end.

Seeing Shaoyun Tian like this, the elders looked on with sympathy.

They all knew just how much effort and resources the Sect Leader had poured into cultivating Shao Sida.

Now, his only son had been brutally torn apart like this, and the sorrow in his heart was imaginable.

Even Master Qingxuan couldn’t help but speak: "Sect Leader..."

However, before he could finish his words, suddenly, an invisible great strength gripped Shaoyun Tian’s body, lifted him up, and moved him in front of Lu Qing.

"Lord Lu, please be merciful!"

The remaining Supreme Elders were all taken aback and hurriedly shouted.

"Mr. Lu, what are you..."

The Five Treasure Taoist was also shocked, but Lu Qing’s next words left him stunned.

"Daoist, aren’t you curious how Shao Sida came to know the secret of Yun Shu Dao Body back then?"

Upon hearing this, the Five Treasure Taoist trembled all over.

This question was indeed something he had thought about.

The Tao Body of his junior sister was known only to Master Qingxuan and a few Supreme Elders.

Even he only learned of it from his master after the incident with his junior sister.

However, not only did Shao Sida know about it, but he had also prepared the corresponding evil technique to devour the essence and cultivation of his junior sister’s Tao Body to enhance himself.

It was evident that someone had intentionally leaked the secret of his junior sister’s Tao Body to Shao Sida.

Yet, who exactly that person was, the Five Treasure Taoist had never been able to find out.

Seeing Lu Qing now apprehend the Sect Leader, a flash of insight struck him.

"Mr. Lu, are you saying..."

Lu Qing nodded slightly: "Indeed, when I performed the Soul Search on Shao Sida, I learned everything. The person who leaked the secret of your junior sister’s Tao Body to Shao Sida was none other than your Sect Leader, Shaoyun Tian.

Not only that, but even Shao Sida’s secret technique was prepared in secret by him."

These words left everyone in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Lu Qing’s calm words struck like thunder, resounding over the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect.

It shook the heart and spirit of everyone present.

"The Sect Leader... it was the Sect Leader who leaked the Tao Body secret?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The Sect Leader has always been compassionate, ruling the sect for millennia, protecting countless disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect—how could he do something so malevolent and heinous!"

"Indeed, with the Sect Leader’s generosity, how could he have knowledge of such cruel evil techniques!"

Low cries of shock rose from the disciples, only to be forcibly suppressed again, yet the tremor and disbelief in their voices spread like a tide.

The elders’ faces grew extremely grim, and those who had close connections with Shaoyun Tian stepped forward, wanting to speak in his defense.

But upon meeting Lu Qing’s indifferent gaze, their mana suddenly stagnated, unable to utter a single word.

Turmoil raged within their hearts.

They acknowledged that Shao Sida’s actions were a disgrace to both the gods and men, deserving his fate.

But who was Shaoyun Tian?

He was the Sect Leader of the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect, the backbone, the stabilizing force keeping the sect standing in the Heavenly Origin Great World.

For millennia, Shaoyun Tian had worked diligently, leading the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect from a common sect to its current prominence, showing generous kindness to each elder and disciple, deeply respected and loved by all within the sect.

How could someone like that be the mastermind behind it all?

How could he personally leak the secret of his disciple’s Tao Body to his son, allowing his son to perform such a body-devouring, vile evil technique?

This was even harder to accept than Shao Sida being the murderer!

"Lord Lu! You... you cannot speak so irresponsibly!"

An elderly Supreme Elder finally could not hold back and spoke, trembling, his voice tinged with a plea, primarily seeking to protect.

"Everyone in the sect knows what kind of person the Sect Leader is; he could never commit such betrayal or harm his fellow sect members!"

"Shao Sida might have been lying when he was dying, wanting to drag the Sect Leader down with him!"

"Yes, Lord Lu! This matter is of great importance, affecting the reputation of our Sect Leader and the dignity of our entire sect. We urge you to see this clearly!"

The other Supreme Elders echoed this sentiment, looking at Shaoyun Tian, who was trapped mid-air by Lu Qing’s invisible force, with eyes full of urgency and compassion.
