I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Chapter 505: Chapter 467: Confession

"The Black Mountain is ruined, what should we do now?"

A few clan elders of the Su family looked at the Black Mountain, which had turned into ruins.

With the Black Mountain in ruins, their initial expectations for the clan’s tomb dissipated like a mirage at this moment.

Had they known, they might as well not have heard about the clan tomb in the first place.

"What do you mean what should we do? Didn’t you see that Brother Tian has already gone to check it out?"

Wang Yanyu looked down on the Su family elders before her—forgetting righteousness when seeing small benefits and being timid in major events. Such Golden Core Cultivators are destined to find it difficult to become Nascent Soul Powerhouses.

She no longer paid attention to these Su family elders and instead flew towards the ruins.

Soon, Tian Lin, near a formation by the ruins, saw the presence of Mei Xianfu.

Mei Xianfu was hiding inside a stone sarcophagus the size of a house. Inside, she was fully protected by her Divine Lady Tree.

Tian Lin did not rush to enter the stone sarcophagus to wake Mei Xianfu. Instead, he focused his gaze on the inscriptions on it.

Most of these inscriptions had been manually erased. Only in one corner of the sarcophagus, the name ’Zhang Sheng’ was distinctly etched and striking.

Initially, Tian Lin thought he had remembered wrong when he saw the name Zhang Sheng.

But the strangeness of this stone sarcophagus and its hardness proved that the person who crafted it was extremely formidable.

And in this world, could there be two similarly formidable people both named Zhang Sheng?

The probability is incredibly low, so the name on the sarcophagus is very likely the brother of ’Lady Qian’ known in the land of mass burial, Zhang Sheng.

But why would Zhang Sheng leave a stone sarcophagus here, and what connection does he have with the Su family?

"This stone sarcophagus looks like a treasure."

The following Su family elder said:

"Earlier, though Master Kong Wu’s shrine didn’t fully reflect on the stone sarcophagus, I distinctly saw it withstand the residual attack from the shrine. This stone sarcophagus, even if not an Immortal Artifact, is at least a top-notch Defensive Magical Treasure."

After saying this, this Su family elder looked at Tian Lin, obviously afraid that Tian Lin would seize their treasure.

To say he doesn’t have thoughts about the stone sarcophagus would be Tian Lin lying.

Yet his thoughts on the stone sarcophagus, aside from its formidable defense, are also because of its connection to Zhang Sheng.

However, as the Su family elder said, this stone sarcophagus is something from the Su family clan tomb. Tian Lin doesn’t know what connection the Su family has with Zhang Sheng, nor does he understand Zhang Sheng’s purpose in placing the sarcophagus in the Su family’s clan tomb.

He doesn’t want to rashly entangle himself with this cause and effect, nor does he want to end up with a bad reputation for robbing ancestral tombs for a stone sarcophagus. The bad reputation itself is not that terrifying; what’s terrifying is others using your bad reputation as justification to deal with you.

Moreover, with Elder Zhang’s recent passing, the sect couldn’t possibly not hold him accountable.

"You can take the sarcophagus, but let me go in and bring Senior Sister Mei out first."

After saying this, Tian Lin stepped onto the top of the stone sarcophagus again.

On top of the stone sarcophagus, there was a skeleton. Tian Lin didn’t know this skeleton was the drained dry Su Shaoqing, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

He casually swept the skeleton to the side and then reached into the stone sarcophagus where Mei Xianfu was.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, a branch from the Divine Lady Tree in the stone sarcophagus suddenly whipped his hand.

Tian Lin winced in pain and withdrew his hand, frowning slightly.

"Senior Sister Mei’s Divine Lady Tree recognizes only Mei Xianfu; unless she wakes up on her own, we can’t take Mei Xianfu away without using force."

Hearing this, Tian Lin asked Wang Yanyu, "When can Senior Sister Mei wake up?"

Wang Yanyu did not conceal anything and straightforwardly said, "As long as she takes the antidote I provide, she’ll awaken in less than a day. However, the antidote is in my residence, so we need to first take her back to Beiyed County."

Tian Lin nodded and descended from the stone sarcophagus. But when he tried to lift the stone sarcophagus, he discovered it was as heavy as Mount Tai.

Reluctantly, all the Golden Core Cultivators had to combine their efforts, and finally, it was only with Master Kong Wu’s Kasaya that they managed to move the stone sarcophagus towards the county of Beiyed.

The weight of the stone sarcophagus was beyond Tian Lin’s imagination, and it couldn’t be stored in a Storage Bag. This made the Su family elders reassured—this thing couldn’t be easily taken away, and once it was pulled to Beiyed County, it wouldn’t be so easy for others to steal it.

"Do you think this thing might be an Immortal Artifact?"

A Su family elder boldly speculated, "Even the shrine’s residual waves couldn’t harm it; with its defense capability, it surely must be an Immortal Artifact, right?"

Another elder appeared more prudent.

Even though he suspected the stone sarcophagus was an Immortal Artifact, how could they expose its value to outsiders?

Monk Kongwu was one thing; although Monk Kongwu was somewhat foolish, because of his endearing foolishness, they weren’t afraid of him seizing the stone sarcophagus.

But what about Tian Lin?

If Tian Lin also had designs on the stone sarcophagus, although the Su family wasn’t afraid of Tian Lin, they feared those behind him.

"Nonsense, where in the world are there so many Immortal Artifacts? This sarcophagus is merely a Dao Artifact with extremely strong defensive effects."

After the elder finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with another elder, signaling him not to speak further in front of Tian Lin.

If this sarcophagus truly was an Immortal Artifact, Tian Lin wouldn’t covet it.

Because what the Su family couldn’t guard, he wouldn’t be able to guard either. What he was really thinking about was how to explain Elder Zhang’s death to the sect.

Elder Zhang, ’impartial and incorruptible,’ rarely associated with others in the sect. Because of this, the sect wouldn’t pursue his death too insistently—

This was naturally good news.

However, Elder Zhang was still an elder and a Nascent Soul Powerhouse in the sect.

Any Nascent Soul Powerhouse is considered a valuable ’treasure’ to the immortal gate. Tian Lin, being the last one to accompany Elder Zhang, moreover, having ’betrayed’ him, the sect couldn’t easily overlook him.

The stone sarcophagus was finally brought into a mansion in Beiyed County just as dawn broke.

Wang Yanyu instructed several elders to move the stone sarcophagus to a secret room for proper protection, which naturally gained the support of the Su family elders.

Rather than vying for power with Wang Yanyu, now everyone cherished the stone sarcophagus more.

Especially since it was being protected by Master Kong Wu’s Kasaya, Tian Lin forcefully approached Mei Xianfu and fed her the antidote.

He then watched Wang Yanyu arrange a room for Mei Xianfu, allowing the Divine Lady Tree to burrow in and shelter her.

Outside the room, only Monk Kongwu and Wang Yanyu remained.

Wang Yanyu knew Tian Lin had something to say, so she said to Monk Kongwu, "Master is quite exhausted today; please go and rest. Brother Tian and I have matters to discuss, so I won’t invite you to stay for tea."

Monk Kongwu clasped his hands together in farewell and left.

Seeing only the two of them were left, Wang Yanyu gestured to Tian Lin.

Tian Lin followed her to a small courtyard, where Wang Yanyu said, "Brother, you wish to ask me why I brought Senior Sister Mei to the Su family’s clan tomb, right?"

Tian Lin nodded and then said, "This matter requires an explanation, not for me but for Senior Sister Mei and Elder Mei."

Wang Yanyu took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, I truly had no intention of harming Senior Sister Mei. My real objective was to lure Elder Zhang over."
