I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 158 - 132: Tian Lin Ultimately Fell Short by a Notch

"Something's amiss."

After Xing Tongtian said this, he asked the servant disciples who were gathered around the entrance of Tian Lin's cage, "Are you sure it was Liu Xuanfeng who came?"

One of the servant disciples stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple hails from the mining school of Lianshui Peak, I would certainly not mistake Elder Liu."

Yet Xing Tongtian still shook his head, "If Liu Xuanfeng had actually come, why would he cause a disturbance at the entrance and then not show himself again? You must realize, Liu Xuanfeng knows the Disguise Technique. What you saw might not have been Liu Xuanfeng at all."

As soon as Xing Tongtian's voice fell, a laugh rang out from the entrance:

"Junior Brother Xing, you are someone who tends to overthink, complicating the simplest of principles with your calculations."

In the iron cell, Tian Lin looked towards the entrance and immediately recognized Elder Liu's figure.

Having not seen him for several months, Elder Liu still looked as languid as ever.

But the languid Elder Liu now seemed to possess a Grandmaster's demeanor. Just by standing there, he exuded a profound and majestic aura.

"Elder Liu, you're still as bold as ever, knowing that I'm waiting here for you and yet you dare to come."

Xing Tongtian had also confirmed Liu Xuanfeng's identity and slowly walked over.

Elder Liu laughed, "Junior Brother Xing, what you're saying is amusing. This place is my sect, why wouldn't I dare to come?"

"Good, good, since you've come, don't think about leaving."

As he finished speaking, several more people entered from the cave's mouth.

"Elder Feng, Elder He, and Elder Xiao have all arrived; do you think someone with the surname Liu could save you?"

Shang Yu had a face full of excitement, his smile barely concealing his sneer as he looked at Tian Lin.

Tian Lin didn't want to guess at Shang Yu's thoughts at that moment, only frowning to himself, "Master knows the Disguise Technique. If he wanted to save me, why didn't he sneak in quietly? What's the point of causing such a commotion?"

"Elder Liu, was Tian Lin really a contingency you left behind on my Baihua Peak? You left without a word and left such a back-up on my peak; what exactly are you planning?"

Elder Xiao spoke first, his position seeming to block Liu Xuanfeng's escape.

But upon closer inspection, Elder Xiao's slightly sideward stance indicated that if he wished, Liu Xuanfeng could escape past him at any moment.

"Elder Xiao, you've taken the trouble to look after that kid for me. As for my plan?

My plan is simply to inherit the will of the ancient ancestors and past Sect Leaders, to find a way out for the cultivators of Yulong Continent."

"Ah, since Elder Liu's ambitions align with mine, why not share your plans, and let us brothers deliberate together?"

Xing Tongtian spoke up, and Liu Xuanfeng burst into hearty laughter:

"Back then, the three of us had the best relationship. Whatever problems we had, we would plot together.

I believed that if we three brothers worked together, there was nothing in the world we couldn't achieve. Indeed, together we ventured into the Immortal Mansion and together succeeded in our Foundation Establishment.

However, after we became Foundation Establishment elders, we were no longer united. Originally, we would scheme for matters, but gradually, we began to scheme against each other."

"Alright, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Elder Liu, you owe us old brothers an explanation for your mysterious departure from the sect."

Right as Elder Feng began to speak on the other side, Shang Yu standing outside Tian Lin's iron cell suddenly roared: "Liu, where is my sister?"

Liu Xuanfeng ignored Elder Feng and instead looked towards Shang Yu.

"Your sister? Shang Yu, your sister asked me to pass a message to you to cultivate diligently and not have wandering thoughts."

Shang Yu angrily said, "I don't want to hear these nonsense from you, return my sister now. Otherwise, I will kill Tian Lin."

As he spoke, his flying sword thrust toward Tian Lin inside the iron cell.

Tian Lin, unable to leave the cell, was still free to move.

He slightly sidestepped, grabbed Shang Yu's wrist, and with a twist, wrenched the flying sword from Shang Yu's hand.

This movement surprised not only the bystanders but Tian Lin himself.

At this moment, Shang Yu gestured outside the iron door, and the flying sword in Tian Lin's hand involuntarily flew out of his grasp.

"Ultimately, my spiritual sense is too weak to fully unleash the power of Sword Intent."

Tian Lin thought to himself, as he slapped the Storage Bag and extracted a flying sword from within.

He remembered that Shang Yu had won the position of Inner Sect Disciple on Moon Pond Mountain by relying on talisman paper.

Tian Lin didn't know why Shang Yu could release so many talisman papers at once, but he was clear that being trapped in a cage, if Shang Yu decided to use talisman paper against him, there would be no escape except digging into the ground.

At that time, Elder Liu would likely find it difficult to save him.

The scuffle between Tian Lin and Shang Yu inadvertently affected the nerves of the elders nearby.

Xing Tongtian raised his hand, and space itself seemed to start fluctuating, a sword hilt slowly emerging from the void.

Elder Liu said, "Junior Brother Xing, this small cave, if you and I exert our divine skills, I'm afraid the whole Moon Pond Mountain will collapse."

Elder Xiao also shouted, "Junior Brother Xing, we have yet to clarify the situation, how can we risk our lives?"

Xing Tongtian ignored them, and reached for the sword in the void.

Before he could draw the sword out, a sudden loud bang echoed from deeper inside the cave.

All the elders looked towards the depths of the cave, and even Shang Yu stopped attacking Tian Lin and turned to look inside.

"My fellow elders, take a good look; Liu Xuanfeng conspires with outside Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter the cave; do you still wish to shield him?"

With a shout from Xing Tongtian, he drew the sword from the void, aiming to slash at Liu Xuanfeng.

As soon as the sword appeared from the void, the whole mountain began to tremble.

Many servant disciples in the cave changed color, dodging the falling rocks from above, and some already fled in panic.

Once this mountain cave collapses, it will be like half a mountain falling onto everyone's heads.

Foundation Establishment experts might survive, but we, as mere Qi Refiners, with all our abilities, would still be instantly crushed into meat patties.

"Junior brother, stop! Do you want to destroy Moon Pond Mountain?"

Elder Xiao stood in front of Xing Tongtian, refusing to let Xing Tongtian swing his sword.

Elder Feng also raised his hands, and a gust of wind like a barrier rapidly appeared in front of him and Liu Xuanfeng.

Xing Tongtian's nose was almost out of joint with anger: "I asked you to come and help me, not help him. In the Yao Yue Sect, who is the Sect Leader, and who do you listen to?"

On one side, Elder Xiao blocked Xing Tongtian while turning his head to ask Liu Xuanfeng:

"Elder Liu, which sect's elder is trapped deep inside the cave?"

Liu Xuanfeng replied, "Since you knew I went to the Heart Inquiry Sect, you should have guessed that the one deep inside the cave is none other than Senior Brother Zhou."

Knowing he couldn't kill Liu Xuanfeng at this moment, Xing Tongtian retracted his Divine Skills and turned to shout into the cave:

"Sect Leader Zhou, our two sects have been interdependent for a thousand years with deep-seated comradeship. Why would you barge into my Law Enforcement Hall and destroy the friendship between our sects?"

In the depths of the cave, Sect Leader Zhou's voice rang out, "Elder Liu came to my sect to find a way out for the cultivators of the Yulong Continent. Invited by him, I came to the Yao Yue Sect looking for someone."

Xing Tongtian glanced at Tian Lin, then walked toward him, and said indifferently:

"Given the relationship between our two families, if you want to find someone, all you need to do is give notice. Isn't it beneath your Sect Leader's status to resort to such despicable actions?"

Sect Leader Zhou, still concealed in the cave, replied with a light chuckle:

"He is a prodigy, the hope of countless cultivators in Yulong Continent. I feared Sect Leader Xing might be reluctant to part with him, so I had no choice but to take this measure. I came in person to show my sincerity."

"What reluctance? Tian Lin is here. Sect Leader Zhou, feel free to take him."

While speaking, Tian Lin was in a prison cell, yet Xing Tongtian remotely pulled him toward the iron door.

The iron door was firm, so naturally Tian Lin wouldn't be moved from inside to outside.

Instead, he slammed 'bang' against the iron door.

Before he could fall to the ground, his neck was already grasped by the hand of Xing Tongtian who had reached into the cell.

"Haha, Tian Lin should stay with Sect Leader Xing. As for the prodigy I've been looking for, I've already found him, so there's no need to bother Sect Leader Xing anymore."

After the person in the cave finished speaking, Xing Tongtian still didn't release Tian Lin, only turning his head to ask Shang Yu, "Who is locked inside the cave?"

Shang Yu furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment before saying: "That's Room M—no, wait, that's Elder Xing's prison cell."

Upon saying this, Xing Tongtian was startled.

Then, with a 'bang,' he tossed Tian Lin aside and turned to look at Elder Liu, "Liu Xuanfeng, what do you mean by capturing my son?"

Liu Xuanfeng laughed heartily; his body disappeared like a wraith, leaving only his words behind: "You locked your own son in a dungeon. As his uncle, I couldn't bear to see it, so I came to rescue him."

Xing Tongtian struck toward the direction where Liu Xuanfeng had disappeared, only to hear a loud explosion, turning Liu Xuanfeng into a feather that gently fell to the ground.

"Well, a fine case of 'the cicada sheds its shell!'"

Elder He stroked his beard, admiring aloud.

Knowing he couldn't catch Liu Xuanfeng, Xing Tongtian darted back deep into the cave.

But in no time, he ran back out, with a face pale as death: "That Zhou has taken away Shanping using the Earth Escape Skill."

Elder Xiao and the others looked at each other, hearing Elder Xiao say:

"The Heart Inquiry Sect has always stayed out of worldly affairs, only bent on exacting revenge in Cangzhou—

As the Sect Leader of the Heart Inquiry Sect, it has been a long time since Brother Zhou has set foot outside the Heart Inquiry Sect's domain. He has travelled from afar to Yao Yue Sect, what does he want with Shanping?"

Elder He chimed in, "Haven't you heard? Elder Xing's disciple is a once-in-a-lifetime genius, key to breaking the deadlock in Yulong Continent—"

"What task can't be accomplished by us Foundation Establishment elders, but needs a mere Qi Refiner to handle?"

Elder Xiao still shook his head in disbelief.

At this moment, Xing Tongtian turned with a sullen look to face Elder Feng:

"When I wanted to kill Liu Xuanfeng, Elder Feng, you didn't help, fair enough. But why did you protect that Liu fellow?"

Elder Feng laughed it off, "That day in the life-and-death duel, when I wanted to kill Shang Yu, why did you protect him?"

"Very well, very well, very well!"

Xing Tongtian nodded twice, glanced at the several elders, and strode boldly out of the cave.

It was only at this point that Elder Xiao finally remembered Tian Lin.

He looked towards Shang Yu and said in a cold voice, "Where is the key to the Divine Barrier?"

But at this time, Shang Yu seemed as if he'd lost his soul, just staring blankly, completely ignoring Elder Xiao.

Elder Xiao frowned, plucked the key from Shang Yu's waist, and tried each one until he finally unlocked the prison door.

Inside the cell, Tian Lin lay on the ground, his neck skewed, appearing to have been snapped.

Elder Xiao frowned, stepped forward to check Tian Lin's breathing, and ultimately managed to slap Tian Lin awake from his unconscious state.

As Tian Lin spat out a mouthful of black blood, Elder Xiao said, "In your current state, you can only lie down for a while. Which is just as well, it keeps you from causing trouble outside."

Tian Lin wanted to speak up in his defense, but found he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.

For the first time, when Xing Tongtian had grasped his neck, he felt the presence of death.

"Hehe, I always thought you were Elder Liu's backup plan, for he seemed to take good care of you, even telling you about the Heart Inquiry Skill and the formula—never did I expect that in his eyes, you still can't compare to Xing Shanping."
