Chapter 501: Chapter 463: Logically Speaking

Upon realizing he had killed the wrong person, Elder Zhang was only stunned for a moment before regaining his cold arrogance:

"Let’s not discuss whether that ’mistakenly killed’ little ghost knew where Xian’er was. Even if it didn’t lie, its death doesn’t matter."

Tian Lin didn’t feel much regret over the death of Su Shaoqing’s sword holder, and naturally wouldn’t argue with Elder Zhang over an outsider.

He decisively said, "According to what that woman said, Xianfu has been taken to the Su family’s ancestral tomb. And the Su family’s tomb happens to be in this mountain."

"The Su family’s tomb?"

Elder Zhang looked at Tian Lin skeptically, assured that Tian Lin hadn’t misspoken.

Tian Lin knew what Elder Zhang was doubting, especially after recounting everything Su Shaoqing’s sword holder had said to Elder Zhang.

Having heard the entire story, Elder Zhang nodded and said, "If that woman wasn’t lying, Xian’er’s return likely has something to do with Wang Yanyu."

Tian Lin nodded but questioned, "The disciple initially thought so too—but the more I think about it, the less I understand what Wang Yanyu’s motive is!"

At first, when Wang Yanyu hadn’t yet clashed with Zhai Xingzi, given Wang Yanyu’s infatuation with Zhai Xingzi, it was only natural to remove Mei Xianfu out of affection.

But now?

Wang Yanyu hates Zhai Xingzi to the core, and Mei Xianfu should theoretically share a common enemy with her.

Even if they’re not allies, there’s no reason for both to harm Mei Xianfu.

Unquestionably, from what it seems, Mei Xianfu has treated Wang Yanyu well enough to guard a side for her in Beiyed County.

Moreover, Mei Xianfu’s presence could elevate Wang Yanyu’s status in front of the Su family and other aristocratic families. Wang Yanyu, what reason does she have to oppose Mei Xianfu?

"Although that female ghost is dead, these Evil Spirits are still summoning souls—if Xian’er is truly in this mountain, then sooner or later we’ll find the Su family’s tomb."

Tian Lin remained silent because if the Su family’s tomb is indeed here, even without those Evil Spirits, it would be no big deal to scour the entire mountain—

For Nascent Soul Powerhouses, flipping a mountain may be time-consuming and laborious, but compared to the potential gains, what’s the harm in spending a bit of time and effort?

"Zhou Bing’s death, the effectiveness of his bulletin might not last long. So, we need to observe the movements of these Evil Spirits while the bulletin still works to eliminate places unlikely to house the Su family’s tomb."

As Elder Zhang spoke, he had already flown higher and higher, overlooking the scene below from the mountain clouds.

Tian Lin frowned slightly, questioning if he was overthinking.

But ever since learning there’s a Su family tomb in the mountains, Elder Zhang’s focus turned from searching for Mei Xianfu to finding the Su family tomb.

Though finding the Su family tomb could also lead to Mei Xianfu—whether the effort is for locating Su family’s tomb or for seeking Mei Xianfu, there is a significant difference.

Tian Lin did not know what treasures the Su family’s tomb held.

But the Su family was once a great aristocratic family, having produced many Nascent Soul Powerhouses.

The ancestral tomb is the fundamental basis of a family, not to mention the burial artifacts within it.

Just the Nascent Soul Powerhouses’ bodies buried there are, in themselves, a huge wealth.

Tian Lin was not easily tempted by these, simply because he has the key of having an entry. He knew if he proceeded step by step, he could steadily increase his cultivation without taking risks.

But for others, without an entry, without seeking opportunities, without gambling, where is the chance to rise?

Thus, it’s understandable that Elder Zhang, without familial assistance, set his sights on the Su family tomb.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Lin flew subtly to the clouds, joining Elder Zhang in observing the Evil Spirits below.

Indeed, as Elder Zhang said, most of the Evil Spirits have become uncontrollable following Zhou Bing’s death.

Roaming souls from high to low cultivation started leaving the group one after another, drifting in all directions.

Tian Lin and Elder Zhang ignored the departing roaming souls, instead watching the remaining ones search untouched areas within the mountains.

Unfortunately, these mountains were unusually vast, and as darkness fell, with all the Evil Spirits dispersed, quite a few mountain peaks remained unexplored.

In the distance, a group of cultivators approached.

They were the first to notice the Evil Spirits’ commotion, so they hurried over.

Upon seeing Tian Lin and Elder Zhang, these cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

One of them said, "These Evil Spirits are gathered by Elder Tian and Elder Zhang, aren’t they?"

That person, unclear whether genuinely or flattering, said, "No wonder it caused such a disturbance; we thought a Divinity Transformation Expert might have descended here."

Elder Zhang, next to him, said, "Indeed, the Su family once had a Divinity Transformation ancestor."

Elder Zhang’s nonsensical words made the cultivator uncertain how to respond.

It was Tian Lin who asked the cultivator, "Are you all here to find Senior Sister Mei? Do you have any clues?"

The cultivator replied, unsure whether heartfelt or seeking credit. He looked sorrowful, "We ran through countless mountains and villages, not only failed to find Miss Mei but lost many people in the process; my wife was killed by Evil Spirits during a search."

Tian Lin, hearing this, ’felt moved’ and said with a clasped hand, "If this time we succeed in finding Mei Xianfu, I will definitely offer a great reward."

That cultivator wiped his non-existent tears, smiling, "Elder Tian’s words sound as if I’m exploiting my wife’s death for merit."

"Are you saying the commotion here has attracted Beiyed County’s attention?"

While Tian Lin was speaking with the cultivator, Elder Zhang, who had been incoherent earlier, asked another question.

The cultivator was embarrassed but dared not ignore Elder Zhang’s question.

He nodded, saying, "Yes, noticing it’s late, we had already returned to the city. But the disturbance here was too great, the aristocratic families in town noticed the situation, so they sent a few of us to investigate.

Now that we know this misunderstanding was caused by Elder and Cultivator Tian, we can safely return to report."

Elder Zhang nodded and said again, "Surely, many died in the search for Xian’er this time."

The cultivator said, "Outside, there are too many Evil Spirits; it’s indeed very dangerous. This time, of those deployed from the city, to my knowledge, three out of ten died."

"That certainly is tragic."

Elder Zhang asked the cultivator again, "If you die here, will people from Beiyed County suspect I acted?"

His words were inexplicable, leaving not only the cultivator but also the accompanying ones stunned.

One person awkwardly smiled and said, "Senior, don’t joke around. There’s no reason why you’d target us unprovoked. Moreover, we’re here doing errands for you and the Wenda Sect; not rewarding us is one thing, but there’s no reason to kill us juniors."

Elder Zhang nodded, "Indeed, logically, I wouldn’t act against you; if you die, others would only suspect you were killed by Evil Spirits—after all, there are truly many Evil Spirits here, making it very dangerous."
