I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong
Chapter 498 - 460: Full of Lies

Chapter 498: Chapter 460: Full of Lies

"Alright, we trust Elder Zhang’s character."

The man finished the last bit of rice in his bowl, slapped the table, and stood up, saying, "Brothers, I’m full now, so I’ll head back to the mansion to gather the Ghost General and Ghost Soldiers to search for the person."

He was truly swift and decisive, leaving as soon as he spoke.

The others followed suit, losing any interest in staying for the meal.

They bid farewell to Zhou Bingsheng, and soon the lively guest hall fell silent.

Zhou Bingsheng said to Elder Zhang and Tian Lin:

"I rarely meddle in affairs, so I don’t have any ghostly troops at my disposal. However, I do have my own methods. Once night falls, I can summon roaming souls to run errands for me."

Tian Lin and the others had already spent some time feasting and drinking, and now it wasn’t long until nightfall.

Soon, as the sky darkened completely, Zhou Bingsheng stepped out of the mansion.

Tian Lin and his companion followed closely, watching as Zhou Bingsheng pulled a piece of white paper from his sleeve.

He hung the white paper in the air and, despite the wind, it stayed firmly as if attached to an invisible wall.

Then Zhou Bingsheng took a pen from his sleeve and swiftly wrote on the white paper: Notice, Scholar Zhou Bingsheng of the Great Qi informs all villagers who see this notice to immediately search for the whereabouts of Mei Xianfu.

After he wrote this simple message on the white paper and stamped it with his personal seal, the paper suddenly shone with a golden light and flew off into the distance against the wind.

By this time, night had fallen, which was when roaming souls and evil spirits came out.

Where the white paper flew, those roaming souls and evil spirits seemed cursed, all stopping to look at the contents on the paper.

Various roaming souls and evil spirits, whether gnawing on bones or tearing at another roaming soul, after seeing the notice, stopped their ’work’ and began to scatter around.

"Mei Xianfu, Mei Xianfu, where are you?"

"Mei Xianfu, come out quickly!"

Whether they knew Mei Xianfu or not, these evil spirits began to chorus her name.

The call of a few evil spirits wasn’t much, but when hundreds or thousands of them called out, the spectacle was quite grand.

In just a moment, the sound of searching for Mei Xianfu echoed everywhere across the mountains, carried by the wind all the way to Beiyed County’s county city, frightening the cultivators and common folk there.

"This scene looks like a large-scale summoning ceremony."

Elder Zhang gave Zhou Bingsheng a deep look, saying, "With such divine skills, you stand out among cultivators of the same realm."

Zhou Bingsheng smiled and said, "In the end, I am a scholar of the Daqi Dynasty, recognized by both the Daqi Dynasty and this world;

What I hold now is merely the remaining might of the Daqi Dynasty and the trust of this world; without this identity and my personal seal, I couldn’t direct these evil spirits."

When Tian Lin was at the Fairy Cave, he knew that during the Daqi Dynasty, there were many academies.

During the Daqi Dynasty, the immortal gate was under the Daqi Dynasty’s rule.

Or rather, the Daqi Dynasty was the largest immortal gate in this world then.

And those scholars were the official disciples of this largest immortal gate.

Perhaps there were so many scholars during the Daqi Dynasty that they didn’t stand out much.

But now the Daqi Dynasty is gone, Zhou Bingsheng, as a former legitimate scholar of this world, can still wield the residual might of the Daqi Dynasty, commanding the ’people’ of a part of the world.

"With so many roaming souls helping to search, we should soon know Senior Sister Mei’s whereabouts."

Tian Lin watched the large-scale summoning scene and couldn’t help but speak.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the man who had left the banquet first returned with a few others: "We have already learned that some roaming souls have spotted traces of Mei Xianfu to the south."

Elder Zhang asked the man, "Do you know exactly where Mei Xianfu went?"

The man said, "These roaming souls have no intelligence! Recognizing Mei Xianfu was all thanks to my fourth brother’s portrait — using soul search, I barely discovered that Mei Xianfu was abducted. Unfortunately, this roaming soul’s memory is incomplete, so even after soul searching, I can’t tell who took Mei Xianfu."

At this time, a large group of evil spirits moved toward the south.

It was clear that the evil spirits summoned by Zhou Bingsheng had, through summoning, found traces of Mei Xianfu.

"Whether Mei Xianfu is in the south or not, we’ll know once we go and see."

The man asked Elder Zhang and Tian Lin, "Do you want to stay here and wait, or come with us to have a look?"

Tian Lin looked at Elder Zhang to see what he would say.

But Elder Zhang was confident in his skills and didn’t fear any traps set by these evil spirits. He nodded, saying, "Of course, I’ll go with you. Why would I sit and wait as a concerned party?"

Seeing this, the man said no more, quickly leading Elder Zhang, Tian Lin, and the others to a mountain range.

This mountain range was full of evil spirits and was quite far from Beiyed County’s city, no longer part of Zhou Bingsheng’s brothers’ territory.

As soon as the man and his group appeared above the mountain range, two Day Patrol Deities flew out from it.

Both Day Patrol Deities were men, one clad in black armor, exuding an intense aura of killing. The other wore red clothes and a flowered hairpin, appearing to be a very beautiful woman.

The man blocked Tian Lin and the others’ path first, pointing at Zhou Bingsheng and his group, saying:

"The Hengduan Mountain Range is the territory of the Jiang couple. Why are you seven brothers here instead of guarding the outskirts of Beiyed County? Come to seize territory?"

Without Zhou Bingsheng needing to speak, Elder Zhang stepped forward, saying, "Please don’t be alarmed! The seven brothers are here to help me find someone."

The man said, "Find someone? There isn’t a living soul in the entire Hengduan Mountain Range now. And if it’s just to find someone, why bring so many Ghost Generals and Ghost Soldiers?"

This black-armored man pointed behind Tian Lin and the others! It was the evil spirits Zhou Bingsheng had summoned that had followed while searching for the person, and found their way here.

"These roaming souls are helping us search for the person — since they’ve come here, it means the person we’re looking for is in this mountain range."

Elder Zhang looked at the man and said:

"Since you are the master of this mountain range, surely you must have seen my disciple. If you can help me find my disciple, I will be greatly grateful. If you refuse, don’t blame me for being heartless."

Over there, Zhou Bingsheng’s sworn eldest brother also looked at this black-armored man and said, "Jiang Nu! Mei Xianfu isn’t hidden by you, is she?"

The black-armored man flared up with anger: "Nonsense! I don’t know any Mei Xianfu, and I certainly haven’t hidden her."

He turned his gaze to Elder Zhang: "I haven’t seen the person you’re looking for, nor will I give them to you. Don’t be fooled by Zhou Bingsheng and his brothers, being used as their tool."

Elder Zhang furrowed his brow, looking at Zhou Bingsheng and his brothers.

The saying that ghosts are full of deceit means once someone becomes a ghost, they learn and perfect the art of deception.

Although Elder Zhang drank and conversed cheerfully with Zhou Bingsheng and the others, would he easily believe these people’s ghostly words?

It could be that Zhou Bingsheng and the others were indeed trying to use him to eliminate this black-armored man.
