I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 535 - 497: Shang Yu

No one was sure whether the Transmission Array had been damaged because the posthouse building was blocking the view.

They only saw the posthouse crawling with Undead, ghost babies, and Evil Spirits, and several tentacles emerging from the ground were fighting fiercely with the Undead, ghost babies, and Evil Spirits.

Compared to the initial state of the Southern State, it was now utter chaos.

The scene ahead merely resembled a time of turmoil, but now it truly looked like hell on earth.

Tian Lin and Fairy Mei dared not be careless, so they did not choose to directly descend and charge into that posthouse.

They simply stood on the Flying Boat, using either their palms or swords, delivering a clean and decisive blow.

Sword Qi and palm force shattered countless flying locusts from above, eventually destroying the posthouse’s pavilions and garden walls. After dispersing several Undead and Evil Spirits, the existence of the Transmission Array was finally revealed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

On the Transmission Array covered with inscriptions, golden light was flowing, preventing any Evil Spirit from approaching.

However, the golden light preventing the Evil Spirits from approaching was not emitted by the Transmission Array itself, but by the Posthouse Governor nearby.

"We clearly underestimated last time; this Posthouse Governor, though only at the early Golden Core stage in cultivation, is no weaker than mid-stage or even late-stage Golden Core."

Fairy Mei glanced at the old, decrepit Posthouse Governor and couldn’t help but praise him.

But when Tian Lin saw the Posthouse Governor, his face immediately darkened. He didn’t speak out loud; instead, he transmitted a message to Fairy Mei and the Cui’er sisters, saying, "Don’t speak, find a way to escape separately!"

While Fairy Mei was in a daze, Tian Lin had already turned into a streak of light and fled westward.

Almost at the moment Tian Lin moved, the Posthouse Governor below leaped into the air.

Despite the appearance of old age, the Posthouse Governor’s voice was youthful. He shouted to the fleeing Tian Lin:

"Junior Brother Tian, you’re still as sharp as ever. But if you used that cleverness on someone else, why would you run when you see your senior brother? Are you afraid I’ll kill you?"

As if strolling idly, the Posthouse Governor casually stepped onto the Flying Boat where Fairy Mei and the others were.

He didn’t chase after Tian Lin but blocked the fleeing Cui’er sisters and Fairy Mei.

Fairy Mei frowned slightly, and the Divine Lady Tree in her hand slapped toward the Posthouse Governor. But the Posthouse Governor just held the sword sheath in front of him, not even drawing the sword, and repelled Fairy Mei by two steps.

Among the younger generation, Fairy Mei considered only Zhai Xingzi and Jian Jue to be stronger than herself.

But this young man in front of her was evidently neither Zhai Xingzi nor Jian Jue.

"Are you, are you Shang Yu?"

Shang Yu’s Disguise Technique was not very sophisticated, and combined with his previous words, it was hard for Fairy Mei not to suspect his identity.

The Posthouse Governor laughed without denial, instead looking sincere as he said, "No wonder you’re Tian’s intended one; you’re just as smart."

"Intended one?"

Fairy Mei was first taken aback, then she turned furious in embarrassment: "Shang Yu, if you want to kill me, just do it, why insult people?"

Shang Yu was convinced that Tian Lin and Fairy Mei had a relationship, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to intercept Fairy Mei rather than chase after Tian Lin.

He assumed Tian Lin couldn’t bear for Fairy Mei to die, so he used her as a hostage.

But seeing Fairy Mei honestly not seeming to lie, he began to doubt he’d captured the wrong hostage.

Besides, even if Tian Lin and Fairy Mei did have a fling, wasn’t abandoning wife and children to flee alone not rare in the Cultivation World?

"Junior Brother Tian, your woman is now in my hands. If you don’t want her to die, come out quickly!"

The end of Shang Yu’s sword sheath pressed against Fairy Mei’s throat; he was confident he could kill Fairy Mei without drawing his sword.

At this moment, his voice cut through the masses of flying locusts, twisting the mist with Sword Qi.

For a kilometer around, aside from his voice, the surroundings fell eerily silent.

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly he shouted, it seemed to have no effect.

Because Tian Lin indeed did not appear.

"You might as well stop shouting; he and I have no familial ties, so how could he risk coming out to save me? I bet he’s already gone to find Master Kong Wu."

After Fairy Mei spoke, Shang Yu sneered, "You think you can scare me with that monk? It’s a pity, even if battle with that monk is inconvenient, I can still easily kill you."

Just as he was about to act, he heard Tian Lin’s voice from afar: "Senior Brother Shang, I’m your target, why make unnecessary killings?"

Shang Yu turned his head and indeed saw Tian Lin’s figure high in the sky.

However, a Cultivator’s vision is out of the ordinary, so the Tian Lin he saw was probably thousands of miles away.

Shang Yu realized his entire capability lay in Sword Dao, and when it came to Escape Technique, he was no match for Tian Lin.

Therefore, though he saw Tian Lin, he didn’t chase but continued to hold Fairy Mei hostage with his sword.

Though Tian Lin was far and seemed ready to flee at any moment, he was in no hurry, but instead confidently said, "It seems the rumors are true, Junior Brother Tian; you’re quite the womanizer. Ultimately, you can’t bear to let this tender beauty die for you."

Tian Lin was momentarily speechless from afar, and Fairy Mei, held hostage, was also speechless.

Instead, the Cui’er sisters, who did have a relationship with Tian Lin, were somewhat at a loss.

"Senior Brother Shang, traveling thousands of miles to the Quzhou posthouse to await me isn’t just to mock me, right?"

Tian Lin was unwilling to dwell on the rumors while Shang Yu had no interest in Tian Lin’s private affairs.

"I’m here, not to mock you." Saying something he himself barely believed, "I’m here, just to catch up with you—Junior Brother, rest assured and come closer. I’ve prepared some simple wine in Quzhou, waiting for you to come and share the drink with me."

"Does Senior Brother think I’d dare trust your words? Though I don’t wish friends around me to die because of me, I’m not about to trade my life for someone else’s."

Tian Lin said, "Why not give each other a chance? Let Miss Mei and the others first leave for five hundred miles, then I’ll approach you by five hundred miles."

Shang Yu replied, "Too short a distance. I’ll let them go a thousand miles, and you approach me by a thousand miles!"

Tian Lin shook his head: "In that case, aren’t I practically putting my neck on your sword? Such foolishness, I surely won’t commit."

Shang Yu pondered deeply and also felt forcing Tian Lin to die for a woman was unlikely.

But with his own Escape Technique, catching up to Tian Lin from five hundred miles away was quite difficult.

"Seven hundred miles, I’ll let them go seven hundred miles, you approach me by seven hundred miles!"

"Deal!"

The agreement was set, and both sides acted decisively.

Fairy Mei, pulling the Cui’er sisters, didn’t hesitate for a moment and in a flash was above Quzhou City.

Knowing her presence there would be unhelpful, Fairy Mei figured it was better to seek help from Monk Kong Wu.

Similarly, Shang Yu knew Fairy Mei’s plan. Almost at the moment Tian Lin moved toward him, he also flew toward Tian Lin.

The distance between them was closing; actually, he should have waited for Tian Lin to reach the designated spot before moving.

But all’s fair in war—

Similarly, Tian Lin never actually flew to the designated spot. After Shang Yu took action, Tian Lin also changed direction, flying away in the opposite direction.
