I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 168 - 139 Sect Master Xun and Xue En_2
Zhao Bei asked Tian Lin, "What do you make of this adulterous pair?"
"There's nothing much to be said. I don't know how Big Brother Han would have dealt with this scene if he were still alive."
Tian Lin pulled away from the woman and went to leave.
However, the woman quickly followed, choking up as she asked Tian Lin, "When did Han Li die?"
"He was killed by Blood Sect Devotees on his way back—he had been trying to contact you all when he was outside. For over a decade, he had been sending you Silver and letters—
But from what you've said, you never received any Silver or letters."
Tian Lin didn't say much more, stepping onto his flying sword and soaring into the air.
Their figures rose high, and soon a few horses from afar galloped into Han Family Bay.
The riders were dressed in red robes, clearly Blood Sect Devotees, probably alerted by the villagers.
Without flying swords, how could those Blood Sect Devotees catch up with Tian Lin and Zhao Bei? They all pulled on their horses' reins and watched as Tian Lin and Zhao Bei flew further away.
"Since olden times, those Horse Gangs delivering Silver and letters are often greedy. Why didn't Big Brother Han use our Zhao Family's Horse Gang for sending messages?
Before the Blood Sect rebelled, our Zhao Family's Horse Gang was renowned across all seas."
Tian Lin heard the pride in Zhao Bei's tone and decided it wasn't the right moment to tell him that Han Li had actually entrusted the message delivery to the Zhao Family's Horse Gang.
"What's past is past. Who exactly delivered the letters back then and how they deceived Big Brother Han, there is no way to trace back now. The most important thing at the moment is to go to Lower Official Village to find Junior Sister Han."
Tian Lin suddenly accelerated. By the time Zhao Bei caught up with Tian Lin, he was already flying toward the village of Lower Official Village.
"Something is not right!"
Following Tian Lin, Zhao Bei landed only to see the villagers gathered together, many dressed in mourning, wailing ceaselessly.
Ahead of where the villagers gathered, a few people in Taoist robes were setting up a Magic Altar to pray for blessings.
As Tian Lin and Zhao Bei approached, the Taoist behind the Magic Altar continued chanting, but squinted his eyes, sneaking glances at Tian Lin and Zhao Bei.
Since they had walked into the village from outside, no one could guess that the two were Cultivators.
For a moment, the villagers treated them as curious foreigners from afar. They all knelt on the ground, sincerely worshiping the God statues placed on the Magic Altar, momentarily ignoring Tian Lin and Zhao Bei.
The villagers prayed devoutly while the Taoist behind the Magic Altar suddenly widened his eyes and set the Three Pure Ones Bell he had been shaking on the table.
He then took a piece of talisman paper from the Magic Altar, lit it on fire, murmured something, said "May you be reborn in the Pure Land," and threw the completely burned talisman paper into the altar's vessel.
"There, drinking the water from this vessel will protect you from the ghost baby."
After speaking, the Taoist looked toward Tian Lin and Zhao Bei, saying, "You two wouldn't also be looking for Han Yue, would you?"
Tian Lin was slightly surprised and asked the Taoist, "Besides the two of us, who else is looking for Han Yue?"
The Taoist replied, "A quarter of an hour ago, a few Immortal Masters already came by."
"Among those Immortal Masters, was there a young man in black clothes?"
The Taoist nodded, "They headed toward Shangguan Village. Whether you are here to find them or Han Yue, you will definitely make it in time if you leave now."
Tian Lin wasn't in a hurry to leave, instead, he respectfully asked the Taoist, "May I know under which master do you study?"
The Taoist answered calmly, "I am merely a tea master, not a Qi Refiner. Setting up the altar is just a way to make a living."
Right after he finished speaking, a voice echoed from above:
"Sect Master Xun is being too modest. With your cultivation, you surely have countless disciples and followers to provide for you. Even if you have left the sect, merely mentioning your name would be enough to have people invite you for meals."
The voice came suddenly, and it seemed to echo from all directions.
Tian Lin pulled Zhao Bei back and hid under the eaves of a house.
Unable to spot the hidden speaker, they turned their gaze toward the old Taoist.
The old Taoist smiled and said, "Am I really as influential as you say, Sect Master Xue? Now that I've reached your territory this year, I wonder if Sect Master Xue would honor me with a meal."
"A meal is nothing to fuss over. Since Sect Master Xun is a senior and has come to the heart of the Blood Sect, Xue En will naturally treat Sect Master Xun to a lavish meal."
Upon finishing his words, the villagers, as if their souls were extracted, stiffened up and began to grab bowls and dishes, and moved tables and chairs.
"Go!"
Tian Lin grabbed Zhao Bei's shoulder and in a blink, they disappeared from the spot.
He ran hundreds of meters in one breath and then flew over several mountains with his sword control. If it wasn't for holding onto Zhao Bei, he would have wanted to tunnel underground and run even further.
"Senior Brother, no one is chasing us."
Zhao Bei finally spoke as he saw Tian Lin out of breath.
Tian Lin stopped his flying sword and landed on a mountain top.
Zhao Bei, looking at the gasping Tian Lin, couldn't help but ask, "Was that old Daoist we just passed the Sect Master of Bai Sheng Sect?"
"Among the five Immortal Gates, only the Sect Master of Bai Sheng Sect has the surname Xun."
Zhao Bei continued, "Then, the person who was talking with Sect Master Xun, was he Xue En from the Blood Sect?"
Tian Lin nodded and after some thought, added, "This Sect Master Xue, not only is he the head of the Blood Sect, but he was also once a disciple of our Yao Yue Sect."
Zhao Bei exclaimed 'ah,' unable to help but question, "Senior Brother, from whom did you hear this?"
Tian Lin replied, "That day at Baihua Peak, I asked the Peak Master about the path to Foundation Establishment—Elder Xiao mentioned Xue En, saying he was a genius of the same caliber as my master."
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
In fact, at that time, Elder Xiao was praising Tian Lin, saying Tian Lin's talent surpassed both Xue En and Liu Xuanfeng.
But in retelling the original words now, he avoided any hint of self-praise.
"How did a disciple of our Yao Yue Sect end up as the leader of the Blood Sect? And why have we never heard this name before?"
Tian Lin shook his head, "I wanted to ask the Peak Master then, but he refused to elaborate, only mentioning that Xue En had been expelled from the sect."
Having said this, Tian Lin didn't want to discuss further.
He looked at Zhao Bei and said, "Sect Master Xun arriving in the territory of the Blood Sect, I don't know what his plans are. Now that he has encountered Xue En, it's best we do not interfere in matters of such Foundation Establishment experts."
Zhao Bei nodded. After Tian Lin had rested for a moment, the two flew on their swords towards Shangguan Village.
Sect Master Xun had taken the initiative to talk to them and even specifically mentioned the whereabouts of Han Yue, presumably wanting them to eliminate Han Yue.
Tian Lin had no intention of flattering Sect Master Xun, but this trip was indeed for the sake of Han Yue, so how could he delay any further?
When they reached Shangguan Village, they saw no one in mourning—Shangguan Village appeared especially serene.
Suddenly, Zhao Bei tugged at Tian Lin's clothes and pointed towards a tea shop outside the village.
Tian Lin looked in that direction and saw Qu Butong, dressed in black, standing out prominently next to the tea shop.
Apart from Qu Butong, there were also several disciples of the Artifact Sect sitting beside him; they all noticed the arrival of Tian Lin and Zhao Bei.
Tian Lin did not intend to sneak around in hiding; now that they had seen each other face-to-face, he boldly walked up to them with Zhao Bei.
Qu Butong on the other side glanced at Tian Lin and said to the tea master, "Two more cups of tea, please invite my two friends for a drink."
While the tea master was preparing the tea, the waiter brought over a stool for Tian Lin and Zhao Bei to sit.
Tian Lin greeted Qu Butong with a cupped fist salute and then sat down opposite him, asking Qu Butong, "Brother Qu, haven't you returned to the county to see Sister Qiu?"
Before Qu Butong could reply, one of the Artifact Sect disciples stood up and said, "That night we battled Zhao Kang, you were indeed there."
Seeing his accusing expression, Tian Lin asked, "Is this junior brother blaming me for standing by?"
That disciple was about to speak when Qu Butong waved his hand to let him step back, but he greeted Tian Lin with a cupped fist salute:
"That day, thanks to the mountain fire set by Junior Brother Tian, if it hadn't been for that, even if we could have escaped from the encirclement of the Blood Sect Devotees, we might have lost several lives."
After saying this, he continued to Tian Lin, "That day when we fled, Junior Brother Zhou was injured. Now Sister Qiu has already taken Brother Zhou back to the sect for healing, so they did not come with us to Shangguan Village."
"It's the best thing that Sister Qiu and Brother Zhou are safe and sound."
Tian Lin's words were heartfelt, and Qu Butong nodded in agreement.
At that moment, the tea master brought the tea, and Tian Lin, holding the tea cup, did not rush to drink but asked Qu Butong:
"Brother Qu, were you also directed here to Shangguan Village by Sect Master Xun? I just don't know when Sister Han will arrive."
Upon hearing this, Qu Butong's expression suddenly turned serious and asked Tian Lin, "Junior Brother Tian, are you here to stop me from killing Han Yue?"
