I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 223 - 187: Tian Lin Became Zhai Xingzi?

"I appreciate Rong's kind offer, but I rarely travel, so I wouldn't have much use for it."

Tribune Rong understood, Tian Lin was not taken with his trinket.

The four of them ate Spirit Rice and Spirit Meat, taking up almost half an hour for the meal.

The sky was getting dark, and Cultivators were starting to set sail one after another.

The couple Gao He invited Tian Lin to go to sea with them, and this time Tian Lin did not refuse.

The four of them, including Tribune Rong, took a large boat, sailing towards the distant sea with the wind blowing.

It was only at this moment that people started to whisper about Tian Lin's identity behind his back.

One person looked at his friend beside him and asked him in a low voice:

"What exactly is the identity of this Mr. Tian, to command such respect from Young Master Thirteen? Also, what did Young Master Thirteen mean when he said he understood?"

When Tong Shisan said he 'understood', he saw a look of realization on his friend's face, so he guessed his friend must know something.

"If Young Master Thirteen dare not speak of it, how could I?" his friend replied, "All you need to know is that his background is not simple."

With that, his friend became even more anxious: "We are life-and-death brothers. What kind of secret is it that you won't even tell me?"

After gritting his teeth, his friend transmitted a message to him: "Zhai Xingzi from the Wendaos Sect is surnamed Tian; few people know this. And being from the Tong Family, Young Master Thirteen must surely know."

Hearing this, the man was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "How is that possible? If he truly is—really is that person, why would he not dare to reveal his identity?"

His friend coldly snorted and transmitted:

"The disciples of the Wendaos Sect have always disliked being in the spotlight. They are afraid of attracting karma, so they often conceal their identities or even resort to disguises—

Over these days, you've seen other immortal disciples make their appearances, but has Zhai Xingzi ever shown up?

Knowing the rules of the Wendaos Sect, Young Master Thirteen saw that Zhai Xingzi was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he also did not dare to expose it.

Now that we know he is Zhai Xingzi, it's best to keep it to ourselves and not reveal his identity, lest we anger him."

After they finished their secret conversation and left, the others stood there somewhat confused.

If the phrase 'I understand' from Tong Shisan made these people even more baffled, then the private exchange of those two made Tian Lin appear even more unfathomable.

And the unfathomable Tian Lin was at this time boating on the river with Tribune Rong and the other two—this doesn't include the sword holder that Tribune Rong brought with him.

The Gao He couple used talisman paper for Exorcism, Tribune Rong used Magical Treasures to confront enemies, and Tian Lin used Divine Skills to catch ghosts.

The four of them did not converse much on the boat, each taking their position at the bow and stern.

"Gentlemen, this is an extremely dangerous area. Maybe we should stop here, as there are enough roaming souls for us to eliminate," said Tribune Rong, who was more cautious, seeking everyone's opinion.

Actually, since this was his boat, there was no need to ask Gao He and his wife for their opinions if Tian Lin wasn't there.

"Indeed, the areas farther ahead are only for immortal disciples to traverse. It's better for us not to get close," agreed the Gao He couple, already struggling to keep up but not wanting to lose face in front of Tian Lin, they were tenaciously throwing out talisman paper to deal with the attacking roaming souls.

It has to be said that indeed there are more roaming souls at night compared to the daytime.

With every palm strike, Tian Lin could kill three or four roaming souls.

His Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill had reached the Minor Success Realm, and he was at the Five Elements Foundation Establishment.

His mastery of Divine Skills surpassed that of Tribune Rong and the other two, he had more abundant True Qi than the three others who were dual-cultivated in Foundation Establishment, let alone the strength of his Spiritual Sense.

So Tian Lin didn't feel it was much effort; no matter how many roaming souls there were, he could kill them all.

But he didn't show off. Instead, he considerately said, "I'm also getting a bit tired. Let's stop here, kill some Evil Spirits for a while. After we get back to shore and recover our True Qi, we can come back."

They all knew that Tian Lin was looking after them, and their fondness for Tian Lin increased at that moment.

At this time, a voice suddenly drifted out from within the thick fog.

Tian Lin frowned and glanced at the Soul Needle in Tribune Rong's hand, only to see its tip trembling and then 'snap'—breaking off.

When Tian Lin looked again, he saw a small boat emerging from the fog, and there was one more boatman on the small boat.

"Xiao E, quickly turn around!"

Tribune Rong's face paled as he took out a bamboo raft from his Storage Bag and jumped on it first.

At the stern, Gao He and his wife's faces changed as they shouted, "It's the Night Patrol Deity, everyone scatter and run first!"

The couple moved quickly, too, each throwing out a small boat and in an instant, they had rowed three to four zhang away.

Tian Lin, however, was not in a hurry to flee but instead turned to look at the young girl rowing the boat.

At this moment, the girl was scared pale but clenched her teeth and rowed the oars vigorously, trying to control the large ship.

As a twelfth-tier Qi Refining cultivator, she was obviously not incapable of moving the boat.

But with the ship being large, it was difficult to turn around, and in this panic, instead of moving backward, her rowing was actually heading towards the Night Patrol Deity.

At this time, Gao He, who was escaping, anxiously called out to Tian Lin, "Second Brother, when else would we run if not now?"

Even Tribune Rong, from a distance, shouted, "Tian, have my sword holder lure away the Night Patrol Deity, let's escape first!"

Tian Lin had already taken out his small boat but was not in a hurry to escape alone.

He said to the girl rowing the boat, "You get on the small boat first, I'll give this Night Patrol Deity a try!"

Gao He and his wife, including Tribune Rong, did not believe Tian Lin was the hidden Zhai Xingzi with concealed cultivation, so they ran as soon as they saw the Night Patrol Deity.

Tian Lin was naturally not the concealed Zhai Xingzi, but he did not think the fellow on this little boat was a powerful Night Patrol Deity.

His Spiritual Sense was very strong, no worse than that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In addition, after consuming the True Eye Fruit, he could discern the strength of souls.

In his eyes, this person coming on the boat was indeed an Evil Spirit, but it was doubtful if they had fully become a Night Patrol Deity.

Tian Lin wouldn't need much effort to deal with a roaming soul, but facing this Evil Spirit might pose a certain danger.

However, if he managed to take down this Evil Spirit, the Residual Soul he could collect was not something ordinary roaming souls could provide.

At this moment, the girl on the boat did not heed Tian Lin's advice and continued to manipulate the oars.

She was Tribune Rong's sword holder, and Tribune Rong had clearly intended to sacrifice her life in exchange for everyone else's survival.

Since she was the sword holder and used by her master as a scapegoat, there wasn't much to complain about.

Right now, she, of course, wanted to live, but feeling mostly resigned to her fate, she leaned towards seeking death instead.

And Tian Lin at the bow of the boat had no time to care for the girl.

He stood at the bow, quietly watching the boatman on the wooden boat approach.

A cultivator and an Evil Spirit faced each other in mid-air. Tian Lin's body did not move, but the Evil Spirit instead stepped back two steps.

Originally it was a Spiritual Sense attack technique; the past Tian Lin would have let it be, but now Tian Lin's Spiritual Sense could use the Heart Inquiry Skill to attack the Evil Spirit.

As the Evil Spirit stepped back, Tian Lin did not retreat but advanced.

His body was filled with Buddhist light, particularly conspicuous against the pitch-black night sky.

Then Tian Lin suddenly stepped on the deck and slammed a palm towards the Evil Spirit.

The Evil Spirit's figure wavered and vanished from Tian Lin's sight in an instant.

Tian Lin frowned and looked around, not seeing the Evil Spirit's figure nearby.

Instinctively, he glanced downward, and at that moment, the boat suddenly flipped over, plunging Tian Lin and the entire boat into the sea.

Tian Lin realized then that the Evil Spirit had simply hidden beneath the boat.

It had taken advantage of his unguarded moment to flip him into the water, attempting to kill him with the sea.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, drowning was not a concern in the short term.

But while Foundation Establishment cultivators do not fear drowning, their full power is challenging to unleash at sea.

Upon entering the water, Tian Lin suddenly felt an icy chill.

Someone had grabbed him from behind by the neck, and in an instant, he found it difficult to move.

And the person hugging him from behind pressed their face against the back of his neck, blowing cold air into his ear.

Tian Lin did not know what kind of Sorcery this was, but his soul began to numb, and his body stiffened like a corpse as the Evil Spirit dragged him down into the water.

"Is this a Water Ghost?"

Tian Lin's mind was not very panicked, confident that he would recover quickly.

Indeed, within only moments after the Evil Spirit hugged him, and before sinking more than one zhang deep, he executed the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill again.

The Buddhist light enveloped him as he instantly repelled the Water Ghost on his back. The Water Ghost, sensing the turn of events, tried to escape but was caught by the ankle by Tian Lin.

This time it wasn't the Water Ghost dragging Tian Lin down, but Tian Lin dragging the Water Ghost deeper.

Although the waters of the Immortal Sinking Pond had become ordinary and even boats beyond the thousand-year-old wood could navigate the sea surface,

This did not mean the danger of the Immortal Sinking Pond had disappeared—

Tian Lin knew well that two zhang deep in the Immortal Sinking Pond, there existed Sword Qi emitted by Immortal Swords.

This Sword Qi could not only hurt people but also kill ghosts.

Sure enough, as Tian Lin dragged the Evil Spirit deeper and deeper, the Evil Spirit's body bore countless small holes.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Evil Spirit finally couldn't hold on and completely collapsed into a Residual Soul.

Tian Lin took out the Soul Collection Orb, quickly gathered the Residual Soul, and surfaced.

On the sea, the large boat was still in place, but on the boat, in addition to the girl who had been rowing, there was now a woman holding a wind lantern.

The woman stood on the bow, barefoot and towering above, looking down at Tian Lin.
