I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 69 - 64 Unbinding

Since Tian Lin had received the task, he did not linger inside the house for long.

He stepped out of the door and saw a group of people with their hands and feet both chained together in a string, crying and weeping as they staggered down the mountain path.

Beside this group of people stood a bunch of men holding knives, viciously hastening them down the mountain.

Tian Lin noticed that among these people, there were about a dozen individuals bound by even thicker and heavier iron chains; they were almost tied into bundles by the several hundred pounds of chains.

Thus, Tian Lin asked a member of the Zhao family, who was responsible for escorting the prisoners, "What’s the deal with those men?"

The reply came, "Reporting to Immortal Master Tian, those men are Qi Refiners. Because they have not cultivated Blood True Qi, we did not kill them."

Tian Lin frowned, realizing that even Xing Shanping did not anticipate the presence of Qi Refiners among these prisoners; otherwise, Xing Shanping would not have had him escort these ’prisoners’ back to the sect.

This was not Xing Shanping’s oversight, as he probably hadn’t expected that the sect families like Zhao Kang and others would keep back details in every report to him.

While they were talking, the six Qi Refiners had already walked past Tian Lin.

The one leading was an elder with disheveled hair. He glanced disdainfully at Tian Lin and sneered:

"You seem young; you must be new to the Yao Yue Sect. Grandpa was already an Outer Disciple of the Yao Yue Sect before you were even born."

Tian Lin was not angered and instead asked the elder, "What is your cultivation?"

The elder laughed heartily, "I have already reached the twelfth-tier of Qi Refining. Are you sure these iron chains can restrain me?"

Tian Lin’s gaze then shifted to the other five people behind the elder, "So you are saying, your cultivations are not weak either?"

One of the middle-aged men stood out, arrogantly saying, "Among us here, there are three at the fourth-tier of Qi Refining, and two at the eighth-tier. Kid, what family are you from, and what is your cultivation level?"

Tian Lin did not disclose how much his cultivation was, but instead looked towards Elder He, who was coming out of the wooden hut.

With Xing Shanping not around at the moment, he could only say to Elder He, "These ordinary chains cannot contain these Qi Refiners, and I—having meager strength—"

Elder He sneered coldly, "Are you thinking of borrowing a Magical Treasure from me? But what do the matters of the Law Enforcement Hall have to do with me? You should be looking for a solution from Xing Shanping."

Tian Lin was taken aback and recalled something Bai Ye had said—those elders spend all their days atop Moon Pond Mountain, not concerning themselves with worldly affairs—

He felt that Xing Shanping seemed to be someone not concerned with worldly affairs, else he wouldn’t have sent him to escort the Wang Family back to the sect without a clear understanding of the situation.

On the contrary, this Elder He did not appear to be someone unconcerned with worldly affairs, but rather like a madman.

"Mow them all down, leave none alive!"

The long-legged crane beside Elder He squawked.

Of course, Tian Lin could not simply kill all these Qi Refiners; he had no intention of throwing himself under Xing Shanping’s executioner’s blade.

He turned back and addressed Zhao Kang, "I have no idea where the Law Officer has gone. I would like to leave these Qi Refiners here and only take women and children on the road."

Zhao Kang wore a troubled expression and said, "Law Brother Xing has already left the Wang Family holdings with a few Disciples and Wang Xing to attend to other matters. Without his permission, it’s difficult for us to keep the few Qi Refiners from the Wang Family here."

Tian Lin understood that with his low cultivation and non-sect family background, requesting their help would only bring perfunctory responses and derision from these people.

Compared to himself, the Wang Family people who were tied up were the true kin of these sect families.

Their earlier ’attack’ on the Wang Family holdings was indeed under the orders of the Yao Yue Sect.

As long as they gained benefits from the Wang Family, they might not be willing to drive the Wang Family Disciples to complete extinction.

For these Disciples might just be the nephews of someone among them, or the cousins of another.

"Fine, then I won’t make things difficult for Zhao Brother," Tian Lin concluded.

After speaking, he turned and walked toward those Qi Refiners.

At this moment, the Wang Family group was huddled on the outdoor slope of the wooden hut, weeping and wailing en masse.

The six Qi Refiners standing at the forefront seemed stubborn and unyielding, showing no regard for Tian Lin.

They had already learned from others that Tian Lin hailed from a background of Huahua Lang, and that within the Yao Yue Sect, he had no notable background; moreover, his cultivation was merely at the second-tier of Qi Refining.

"Kid, what’s it going to be? I advise you to kill us now; otherwise, you might not survive on the road ahead!"

The middle-aged man with a stubbly beard scoffed coldly, evidently unafraid of being overheard by Elder He, who was drinking in the distance.

Seeing that Elder He had no intention of helping him, Tian Lin decided to draw his knife from his waist.

In an instant, the weeping Wang Family members fell silent, the Zhao Kangs and others outside the hut watching the spectacle also furrowed their brows, but the drinking Elder He stood up excitedly.

With a ’clang’ sound, Tian Lin drew his knife and slowly advanced towards the bearded middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wore a look of pride, but subconsciously, he stepped back, only stopping upon bumping into a young Qi Refiner behind him.

Tian Lin laughed as he used his knife to cut through the chains binding the middle-aged man and said:

"I won’t kill you, but if you’re truly not afraid of death, I won’t stop you from committing suicide."

The middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then, rubbing the arm that had been chafed by the iron chains, he stubbornly said:

"Of course I’m not afraid to die, but if you want me to take my own life, at least give me a knife."

Tian Lin was already taking a big risk with this action; how could he dare to give the man a knife?

In fact, as long as Elder He was willing to protect him, with Elder He’s Foundation Establishment strength, even giving the knife to the middle-aged man wouldn’t matter.

But Tian Lin was afraid that Elder He wouldn’t care about his life and would look on indifferently even if he was beheaded;

He really couldn’t figure out Elder He’s temperament, and he was not good at understanding people’s hearts to begin with.

"You, a mighty eighth-tier Qi Refining expert, can’t kill yourself without a knife?"

Tian Lin sheathed his knife and ignored the man with the gloomy face and a beard, instead turning and walking up the slope.

He pretended to stand on high ground to lecture, but in fact, he wanted to distance himself from the bearded man.

Once he stood there and saw that the bearded man hadn’t come forward to fight him to the death, a great burden in his heart finally lifted.

"Why should you be so determined to die? Now the Wang Family is left with only a few Qi Refiners! If you die, how will the remaining women, and children survive in this world?"

Tian Lin gave those who didn’t want to die a way out, and those who weren’t afraid of dying something to care for.

Sure enough, just as a twelfth-tier Qi Refining old man was about to mock Tian Lin, there were already women holding children kneeling behind him, tugging at his sleeve and crying:

"Great Uncle, if you don’t think for yourself, you should at least consider these children who haven’t grown up."

The twelfth-tier Qi Refining old man swallowed back his mocking words and just stared at the valley that was ablaze, sighing after a long while, "To think that generations of the Wang Family’s efforts have come to this end today?"

Tian Lin said, "The sect has tasked me with bringing you back to Yao Yue Sect, which means they don’t wish to involve the innocent. As long as the descendants of the Wang Family are alive, how can you say the Wang Family is finished? Besides, Brother Wang Xing is still here, and as long as you work together, you will be able to restore the Wang Family’s glory one day."

After finishing his speech, Tian Lin pointed his Bright Sun Finger at the iron chains binding the Qi Refiners.

The iron chains broke instantly under the True Qi emitted by the Bright Sun Finger, freeing the remaining five Qi Refiners from their restraints, all regaining their freedom.

This move of his surprised those present; after all, the Bright Sun Finger was only a Low Grade Technique, but for Tian Lin, so young, to have refined the Bright Sun Finger to the Minor Success Realm was truly commendable.

"Where is Wang Xing? Why isn’t he here to see us?"

"Wang Brother and Xing Shanping Brother have gone to do business away from the Wang Family compound. They are traveling by Flying Boat, which is faster. By the time we arrive at Yao Yue Sect, they may have already finished their business and returned to Yao Yue Sect before us."

The old man then glared at Tian Lin and asked, "You’re just a fellow from the Huahua Lang background; can you guarantee the Yao Yue Sect won’t kill us?"

Tian Lin spoke with righteous indignation, "How could Yao Yue Sect’s Law Enforcement act according to personal preferences? How could they indulge in the same ruthless acts as the secular court, harming the innocent?"

After parroting Xing Shanping’s lines, Tian Lin then followed up by cutting a tree branch with his knife, raising the branch and proclaiming:

"I, Tian swear that if I can’t ensure justice in the sect’s handling of this case, may I be like this wood!"

With a ’snap’, the branch in his hand broke in two.

Watching the branch break into two, the Wang Family members, not knowing what kind of person Tian Lin was, nevertheless began to trust him slightly due to this simple ritual.

Tian Lin seized the moment and said to the twelfth-tier Qi Refining elder and several Wang Family Qi Refiners:

"You all used to be inner disciples of the Yao Yue Sect, and thus are my seniors. The journey from the Wang Family compound to Yao Yue Sect takes several days. Our safety along the way will depend on you seniors."

The old man snorted coldly, "I will naturally protect the women and children of my Wang Family, I don’t need you to tell me."

Seeing this, Tian Lin bowed to Elder He, and then had the women and children get on the carts and also requested several fast horses.

He let the old man and others lead the way, while he accompanied the women and children.

While he said he was escorting them, it was likely that the Wang Family also understood he was using the lives of the women as leverage.

But whether they saw through Tian Lin’s intentions or not, nobody pointed it out!

The Wang Family was almost wiped out. Where could these remaining women and children flee to? They could only beg for mercy at Yao Yue Sect.

Tian Lin had to escort such a group, containing a few Qi Refiners; how could mere iron chains restrain those several Qi Refiners?

He might as well set them free.

If they were with Elder He and could agree on a common goal, this escort mission would give him several ’guards’ with eighth-tier Qi Refining and one with twelfth-tier Qi Refining.

But if they could not agree on a common goal, Elder He was there.

Oh well, this Elder He’s conduct did not seem like a righteous elder of the Yao Yue Sect; he probably didn’t care much about the lives of himself and these prisoners.

If he got angry, he might just kill everyone, including Tian Lin and the Wang Family prisoners.
