I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 108 - 98 Mortals May Also Attain the Tao
"Shanping, stop this foolishness."
Xing Tongtian finally spoke up, but unfortunately, Xing Shanping didn’t give him any face:
"I’m not fooling around, I’m just doing what I, as a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, should do."
"Fine, from today onwards you are no longer the Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. You no longer need to concern yourself with the affairs of our sect."
Elder Xiang was about to speak up and persuade Xing Tongtian to rescind his order when Xing Shanping, standing before him, removed the iron badge from his waist.
Xing Shanping handed the badge to Elder Xiang, but did not step back; instead, he summoned the flying sword from behind his back.
The flying sword emitted a light buzz as it landed in Xing Shanping’s hand, and then, pointing his sword at Xing Tongtian, he declared:
"You are mistaken. Even if I am no longer the Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, I am still a disciple of the Yao Yue Sect. As a disciple of the Yao Yue Sect, I cannot let you lead the Yao Yue Sect down the path of evil."
"What is this about the righteous path and the path of evil? I intend to lead the Yao Yue Sect onto the true Cultivation Path!"
Xing Tongtian said angrily: "Do you know how long it has been since a Foundation Establishment Cultivator has appeared in the Yulong Continent? Are you aware that the path to Golden Core has also been severed?
If I do not find a new way, will there be any Cultivators in the Yulong Continent capable of successful Foundation Establishment in the future? What future would the Yulong Continent have then?"
"A Foundation Establishment achieved by consuming humans is not the work of immortals, but of demons!"
Xing Shanping shouted: "My fellow disciples, join me in restraining this demon!"
His impassioned words, however, failed to move any of the disciples present; not a single one responded to his call.
Nevertheless, Xing Shanping didn’t care; he commanded his flying sword and shot it towards Xing Tongtian.
The sword light of Xing Shanping was extremely fast, capable of decapitating a peer in the blink of an eye.
But in front of a Foundation Establishment strong practitioner, his flying sword was indistinguishable from a buzzing fly.
Xing Tongtian just raised his hand and effortlessly caught the flying sword coming towards him.
No matter how much the flying sword struggled, it could not break free from Xing Tongtian’s grasp.
Xing Tongtian then clutched the blade and, with force, shattered the flying sword into several pieces.
As the flying sword was destroyed, Xing Shanping spat out blood from the backlash and staggered back two steps.
Without waiting for Xing Shanping to straighten up, Xing Tongtian reached out in the air and lightly pushed towards Xing Shanping.
This gentle push was unbearable for Xing Shanping, who was at the twelfth-tier of Qi Refining.
Xing Shanping’s entire body was sent flying backwards, crashing to the ground dozens of feet away.
Moreover, Xing Tongtian’s palm wind not only disheveled Xing Shanping but also caused the disciples below to fall one after another.
"Take Xing Shanping away and lock him up. Without my command, no one is allowed to release him!"
After uttering these words, Xing Tongtian roared towards the waist of Moon Pond Mountain: "Shang Yu, won’t you come over here quickly?"
It turned out that Shang Yu had returned with Xing Shanping, but since Xing Shanping headed straight for Xing Tongtian upon landing, not many people had noticed Shang Yu’s presence.
As several Law Enforcement Hall disciples escorted Xing Shanping away, Shang Yu slowly walked up to the stage to pay his respects to Xing Tongtian, and then said: "I failed to find Shang Quan, please punish me, Sect Leader."
"We’ll talk about Shang Quan later, now that the Great Elder has escaped, how do you propose we find him?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Yu retrieved a glazed bottle from his sleeve.
It was unclear if the bottle naturally emitted such color, or if it was due to the liquid inside, but the glazed bottle glinted red under the sunlight.

"This disciple has refined the Blood Gu Pill from the blood of Liu Yunxiao and Liu Yunzhi to assist the Sect Leader in tracking."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Second Steward and the Third Steward changed drastically.
But at this moment, both were afraid to question Shang Yu, so the Second Steward trembled, not knowing whether from anger or fear, while the Third Steward turned his eyes to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin shook his head; when Shang Yu asked him to infiltrate the Second Steward’s side, he did not agree.
Therefore, the blood of the Second Steward and the Third Steward had nothing to do with Tian Lin, indeed, he knew nothing about it.
"Xing Tongtian, for what purpose are you having someone refine Blood Gu Pill from the bloodline of Elder Liu?"
Elder Xiao could not stand by and watch any longer; he stood out and questioned Xing Tongtian.
Holding the glazed bottle, Xing Tongtian sneered and said:
"Others aside, I must guard against the Great Elder. Speaking of which, he is the first of our Yao Yue Sect to refine True Blood Qi. Now that the sect is undergoing changes, he ran off silently—who knows what he is plotting?"
While everyone else found it hard to believe, Tian Lin, having become accustomed to it, was not surprised.
Given the current situation in the Yao Yue Sect, even if all the elders practiced Blood True Qi, it wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary anymore.
"Are you planning to curse Elder Liu with the Blood Gu Pill?"
As Elder Xiao spoke, Elder Feng also stepped forward and said:
"The Great Elder has merely run away, he has not committed any acts against the sect, you must not commit such an atrocious act, Brother Xing."
Xing Tongtian pointed the glazed bottle towards the sun, and soon a bloody red Blood Spider crawled out.
It turned out that this so-called Blood Gu Pill was, in fact, an insect nurtured by blood.
Xing Tongtian, holding the insect, said:
"Elders can rest assured, when the Great Elder passed the position of Sect Leader to me, I was nothing but grateful to him. How could I possibly use the Bloodline Curse Technique to kill him?"
Even the outer and inner sect disciples present didn’t believe this.
If he did not harbor ill intentions towards the Great Elder, why would someone secretly collect the blood of the Second Steward and the Third Steward?
But at this moment, no one dared to question Xing Tongtian, as they had just witnessed Xing Tongtian crush the Blood Spider, and then silently perform some hand seals.
Soon after, Xing Tongtian opened his eyes, a red glint flashing within.
The onlookers saw his complexion worsen. The first to question him was Elder Xiang: "What’s the matter, is there something wrong?"
Xing Tongtian burst out laughing, and after laughing for a while, he said: "It seems the Great Elder has been enjoying life on Lianshui Peak all this time as a pretense, being wary of me, putting on a show for me to see!"
The crowd was puzzled, and Xing Tongtian, pointing at the Second Steward and Third Steward below, said:
"You two fools, I don’t know where Elder Liu found you. It is no wonder you are nothing like Liu Yunjiu. When all is said and done, only Liu Yunjiu is the Great Elder’s great-grandson."
Tian Lin wasn’t surprised when they said Elder Liu cultivated Blood True Qi.
But when they said the Second Steward and Third Steward weren’t the great-grandsons of Elder Liu, Tian Lin was truly shocked.
The Second Steward, at a loss for words under the doubtful gaze of the crowd, couldn’t help but whine with a crying voice:
"Nonsense, I am the true grandson of my great-grandfather, an outer disciple from Lianshui Peak, not some mortal picked up from outside."
At this point, Xing Tongtian had lost the interest to continue. He threw the glazed bottle to the ground and said: "The disciples should return to the sect. Prepare for the first great contest next month."
The disciples and the elders left one after another, and there was Shang Yu, bending over to pick up the fragments of the glazed bottle from the ground.
There was still blood in the bottle, and the four or five blood spiders inside were scurrying to escape.
At this time, the Second Steward rushed up to Shang Yu, grabbed him by the collar, and glared at Shang Yu, saying:
"Damn you, hiding on Lianshui Peak for so long, were you scheming against me all along? Tell me, when did you start stealing my blood? How come I never noticed?"
Shang Yu let the Second Steward grab his collar, looking down on him with a sneer and laughed:
"Do you think you still have a great-grandfather who is an elder? Do you think you, an outer disciple, can still stay one?"
In just two sentences, the Second Steward’s lips began to quiver.
He clenched his fist, appearing as though he would hit Shang Yu, but was stopped by the Third Steward.
Hearing the Third Steward say, "Enough, Second Brother, let’s go back to the peak and focus on our cultivation. Otherwise, come next month’s grand contest, we may really become servant disciples."
"I am not going to be any servant disciple. I was born with the blood of a cultivator, destined to be an outer disciple. How could I possibly become a servant disciple?"
The Second Steward ranted but eventually let go of Shang Yu.
After the two left, Shang Yu said to Tian Lin: "These two brothers have never been brotherly before, and now suddenly they’re so close."
Tian Lin’s mouth curled slightly upwards, looking at Shang Yu acting composed, couldn’t help saying:
"You’ve plotted for so long, but to be played by Elder Liu, was it worth it?"
Shang Yu’s mouth twitched, and just as he was about to speak, Tian Lin gave him a clasped fist gesture:
"I advise you to visit Thirteen Mother on Lianshui Peak instead, lest the Second Steward and Third Steward do something foolish."
Tian Lin had things to do now and was no longer concerned with Shang Yu’s scheming.
He left Moon Pond Mountain first and immediately ran towards Baihua Peak.
Today, although he didn’t notice much else, he did discern Elder Xiao’s stance.
Although Elder Xiao did not strongly oppose Xing Tongtian, his disapproval of sect disciples cultivating Blood True Qi was clear.
It was foreseeable, if he still wanted to be a white-robed disciple in the Yao Yue Sect, he would have to seek support from either Elder Xiao or Elder Feng.
Elder Feng was someone Tian Lin had barely met a few times, while Elder Xiao once had a relationship with him that involved a kick—
Tian Lin decided to take the broken iron piece given by Elder Liu to see if Elder Xiao would take him in.
If Elder Xiao was unwilling, then he would have to prepare to leave Yao Yue Sect.

Currently, not only the inner and outer sect disciples were discussing becoming red-robed disciples, but the servant disciples began to stir as well.
"Do you think we servant disciples can really become outer or even inner sect disciples?"
Below Baihua Peak, a few servant disciples who were washing vegetables in the kitchen had no heart to continue their tasks and gathered together to chat.
"The Sect Leader himself said that all disciples would get to eat Blood Pills; it’s just that servant disciples would get fewer compared to outer and inner sect disciples—
But as long as they give us Blood Pills to cultivate Blood True Qi, we have the chance to seize an opportunity for promotion to outer disciples on the Life and Death Platform."
While they were chatting, they quickly noticed Tian Lin, getting up one by one to greet him respectfully.
But while they appeared respectful on the surface, Tian Lin could see ambition in their eyes, and that thought of potentially supplanting others.
Tian Lin smiled and shook his head, then gave the servant disciples a gentle wave of his hand before ascending the peak.
Seeing Tian Lin greet them, the servant disciples became lively again once he had walked away.
"Did you see? Even these high and mighty Immortal Masters now know to be afraid of us."
"If mortals may attain the Way, why must one’s parents be immortals? Break the myth of Spirit Roots, prove the words of True Blood!"
