I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"Let's see what he's up to first."

Tian Lin knew that Zhao Bei was emotionally agitated at the moment and feared that he would impulsively step forward, leading to an awkward 'brotherly' recognition later.

He forcefully pulled Zhao Bei to sit back down crossed-legged, watching Zhao Kang's performance on the stage.

Tian Lin remembered first seeing Zhao Kang when Han Li took him to the Ghost Market during the sect's market opening.

After that, in Lin'an County, Zhuang Buzhou led sect family disciples to kill the county master of Lin'an County, and Zhao Kang was also present at that time.

Since then, the two had not met again.

"He had been a Peak Master disciple within the sect long ago, left the sect to search for opportunities for a few years, but never managed to find a Foundation Establishment Pool.

Later he returned to take over his family's business, I thought he would settle down and assume the position of Family Head—"

Zhao Bei muttered under his breath, causing displeasure among nearby people: "Don't you see the Immortal Master passing on the teachings above? Must you chatter here and distract us from our cultivation?"

Unable to vent his frustration, Zhao Bei could only calm down and focus on the high platform.

Tian Lin, unable to empathize with Zhao Bei's emotions, glanced around with a slight frown.

"We better avoid any conflicts; I see a few experts outside the village."

Zhao Bei nodded; he knew that although Tian Lin's senses weren't as sharp as disciples from the Heart Inquiry Sect, they were still much stronger than most others.

Both turned their attention back to the stage, just as Zhao Kang finished explaining the cultivation method, then he laughed again:

"I've told you about the circulation of Blood True Qi; now I'll tell you how to obtain Blood True Qi."

After he finished speaking, an old man next to him gestured with his eyes to two red-robed people holding torches.

The two in red robes, torches in hand, walked briskly to the side of those bound mortals.

They dragged out an old man in a blue robe from the mortals and threw him onto the stage.

Although the old man's hands and feet were tied, and his mouth stuffed with a rag, he remained defiant.

Just as the old man struggled to sit up, Zhao Kang stomped him back down.

He towered above and addressed the crowd below:

"This Mr. Huang from Huang's settlement has exploited the local people for years. If I'm not wrong, over the years he has forcefully taken others' wives and daughters as concubines, and seized others' properties, hasn't he?"

The people from all around immediately responded: "Indeed, countless families have been torn apart because of the Huang family, forcing many to leave their homes and become Huahua Lang."

Zhao Kang continued: "Therefore, every drop of blood from the Huang family is sinful. What wrong is there in using their blood for Alchemy?"

The crowd naturally voiced their agreement loudly: "Using his blood for Alchemy is certainly right."

"Good! Today I've brought along a Pill Furnace, and now, all one hundred and twenty of the Huang family will be turned into Blood Pills to aid others in cultivating Blood True Qi."

After Zhao Kang finished speaking, he swiftly drew his flying sword and threw it.

Everyone thought the flying sword was aimed at Old Mr. Huang, but it unexpectedly flew towards the outside of the village.

When the crowd turned their heads, the flying sword had already chopped down a large tree that could be embraced by three people.

While everyone was puzzled, a voice rang out from the treetops nearby: "Brother Qu, Younger Brother Ao has been killed by this damned villain!"

In the village, villagers who had been sitting cross-legged now stood up one after another.

Tian Lin was also surprised and said to Zhao Bei: "I thought the cultivators outside were covert scouts from Blood Sect, but it turns out they are its enemies."

Tian Lin pulled Zhao Bei along with other villagers towards the east side of the village for cover, and soon saw several figures jumping onto the stage and surrounding Zhao Kang.

When Zhao Kang raised his hand, his flying sword had already returned to his grip. He sneered at the figures in front of him:

"So, it is friends from Heart Inquiry Sect, Artifact Sect, and Yao Yue Sect."

The young leader bowed to Zhao Kang: "Qu has long heard of Brother Zhao's great name, but I didn't expect to see you here."

Zhao Kang responded: "Such humble fame might taint your esteemed ears, Brother Qu is too polite. What brings you all here, venturing into the very heart of Blood Sect?"

Qu Butong retorted: "We originally came looking for Han Yue and did not intend to clash with you. However, you just killed my junior, so we'll have to finish you first before searching for Han Yue."

Zhao Kang burst into laughter at these words, saying: "Trying to kill me in the heart of Blood Sect territory might not be so easy."

As Zhao Kang finished speaking, he launched his flying sword straight at Qu Butong.

Qu Butong didn't dodge; instead, he flicked his robe which hit Zhao Kang's flying sword and sent it rebounding back.

As the two were fighting, Zhou Shichou and his companions started attacking the Blood Sect Devotees around them.

They knew all present were members of the Blood Sect, and even those yet to cultivate Blood True Qi, were all eager to do so.

Thus, their attacks were merciless, particularly those from Artifact Sect, casting fire, lightning, and ice arrows with a few talisman papers.

Many villagers fell, while Tian Lin, hidden among them, dragged Zhao Bei, not allowing him to speak, and they quickly flew out of the village.

Not far beyond the village, they saw several beams of light heading towards the Huang family's settlement.

Zhao Bei said: "This is Blood Sect territory; Senior Brother Zhou and the others might be in danger."

Tian Lin stopped using the Wind Walking Skill and pulled Zhao Bei to pause on a tree branch, saying:

"Let's see their luck; if they can make it in our direction, perhaps we'll lend a hand then.

"

"If they took the wrong path, we shouldn't risk our lives to save them."

Tian Lin remembered that Zhou Shichou had helped him before, but the last time he saved Zhou Shichou, he already repaid the favor.

At this moment, to risk his life here for Zhou Shichou, he did not have such a relationship with Zhou Shichou.

The two waited on the treetops for half an hour, and finally, two streaks of light approached from afar.

Zhao Bei's face lit up with joy, but Tian Lin slapped his storage bag and threw the Binding Immortal Rope towards one of the lights.

As he threw the Binding Immortal Rope, his body already soared into the air with Zhao Bei.

Before Zhao Bei could understand what had happened, the tree beneath them exploded with a bang.

Zhao Bei's face changed, and he couldn't help but say, "These Blood Sect Devotees, not chasing Qu Butong and the others, how did they end up chasing us here?"

At this time, Tian Lin didn't want to speak, using Sword Control to instantly vanish from the spot with Zhao Bei.

Behind them, four or five streaks of light closely 'bit' on Tian Lin's heels relentlessly.

Zhao Bei said, "Brother, you carrying me slows you down, you might as well drop me."

"I can drop others, but you are my junior brother, how can I abandon you?"

Tian Lin glanced at the pursuing lights behind them, gritted his teeth, and took out a talisman paper from his storage bag.

The talisman paper swelled in the wind, instantly becoming the size of a bedsheet.

In a moment, about ten streaks of light appeared in front of the 'bedsheet' under the moonlight, and after seeing the 'bedsheet,' four of the streaks turned and fled.

'BOOM!'

A burst of fierce flames erupted from the bedsheet, instantly sweeping across the entire forest.

Three Qi Refiners failed to escape the flames and were instantly vaporized.

With the power of the Fiery Fire Talisman, Tian Lin dragged Zhao Bei into the forest below.

At this time, the quiet forest crackled with burning wood, mixed with the roaring of beasts and cries of birds.

Before their eyes, there was a sea of fierce flames.

Zhao Bei couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this a top-grade Fiery Fire Talisman?"

First, he was amazed, then he saw numerous fierce beasts running wildly through the forest engulfed in flames, and he couldn't help but say:

"This Fiery Fire Talisman is powerful, but the impact is too vast—likely many lives on the surrounding hills will perish in this sea of flames."

Tian Lin had no interest in listening to Zhao Bei's sentiments; he was now pained by the loss of a Fiery Fire Talisman.

He said, "The sea of flames can cover our tracks, and we can use this overwhelming sea of fire to return to the tavern."

He then returned the previously withdrawn Binding Immortal Rope back to his storage bag and grabbed Zhao Bei, speeding through the trees like the wind.

Tian Lin's physical body is strong, ordinary flames posed no harm to him.

But it was different for Zhao Bei. Although he protected his body with True Qi, after half an hour, all of his hair was completely burnt off.

The two left the sea of flames and changed their burnt clothes in a mountain hollow.

After returning to the inn, seeing Zhao Bei somewhat dispirited along the way, Tian Lin patted his shoulder and said:

"Rest early, brooding is pointless. Once we get news of Sister Han, we'll capture her and return to the sect early."

Zhao Bei said nothing and turned back to his room.

Tian Lin stayed in the inn till daylight, and the next morning, the waiter knocked on the door.

Seeing the waiter step aside, he said to Tian Lin, "Sir, if you are looking for Ju Fire Insects and Spirit Pearls, this lady has some for sale."

Tian Lin looked at Qiu Ling appearing beside the waiter, and he couldn't help but feel slightly shocked, his eyes glancing at the hallway, though he didn't see anyone there.

Nevertheless, Tian Lin still suspected that Qu Butong and others might be hiding in a dark place.

"Miss!"

Tian Lin didn't plan to reveal Qiu Ling's identity, so he saluted to her with folded hands saying, "I want to buy some Ju Fire Insects, may I know how much you are asking for them?"

Qiu Ling was also somewhat surprised when she saw Tian Lin, but hearing him inquire, she took out a corner of silver and tossed it to the waiter:

"I'm discussing business with this gentleman, your presence isn't required."

The waiter, having received tips from both Tian Lin and Qiu Ling, naturally left contentedly.

Once he had gone, Qiu Ling in surprise asked Tian Lin: "Brother Tian, how come you are here?"

Tian Lin invited Qiu Ling into the room, prepared some tea for her, and in return asked:

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? What brings you here all of a sudden selling Spirit Pearls and Ju Fire Insects?"
