I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 86 - 80: Am I the Only One Who Isn’t from the Devil Path?
"Brother, I’ve personally seen Lin Ping’an practicing alchemy with living people, I can guarantee that Lin Ping’an is a Devil Path practitioner of the Blood Sect."
Tian Lin’s right hand was touching the Godspeed Talisman; although he didn’t understand entirely what the problem was, he knew his upcoming circumstances were extremely dire.
"Tian Lin, you’re framing Brother Lin out of nowhere, and now you still want to argue?"
Qian Ping asked accusingly, but was glared back into silence by Zhuang Buzhou.
After Qian Ping settled down, Zhuang Buzhou glanced at Tian Lin, then at Han Yue, and finally surveyed the surrounding Disciples who had left the sect.
"Everyone has just witnessed it, Lin Ping’an was using Blood True Qi, right?"
A few sect-leaving Disciples had not reacted yet, but Tian Lin was the first to step forward and say:
"Brother, with clear vision, Lin Ping’an has just used Blood True Qi to silence old man Wang, this is what I personally witnessed."
At this time, Zhao Kang also stepped forward: "Zhao also saw Lin Ping’an using living people for alchemy; he’s undoubtedly a Devil Path practitioner from the Blood Sect."
Seeing that the other Disciples did not object, Zhuang Buzhou then looked towards Lin Ping’an and said: "Brother Lin, do you have anything to say now?"
Lin Ping’an let out a bitter laugh: "I never imagined that the first case of injustice I would encounter during my years of upholding the law in this county government would fall upon myself."
He kicked away the heavy public desk, sneering: "Since the Yao Yue Sect is determined to distort the truth, then what else is there to say? Draw your swords, everyone!"
As the public desk flew towards Zhuang Buzhou, Tian Lin had already employed the Wind Walking Skill to escape from the county government.
Han Yue and Xiao Hong escaped along with Tian Lin.

It goes without saying for Tian Lin; now, the only person who knows he’s in the third-tier of Qi Refining is Han Yue.
It didn’t matter that he was only at the third-tier of Qi Refining; even if like Han Yue and Xiao Hong who were at the seventh and eighth tiers, the county government was not a place they could stay.
Thus, no one blamed Tian Lin for being cowardly.
"Isn’t it wrong to frame Brother Lin like this?"
Xiao Hong couldn’t help but speak up, but Han Yue coldly said:
"Now that we’ve offended him, can we just let him file a complaint? Therefore, whether he is or isn’t a Devil Path practitioner, Brother Zhuang must label him as one."
The moment Han Yue finished speaking, Zhuang Buzhou was seen lifting Qian Ping and floating out from the county government.
Right when the two came out, the entire government building suddenly collapsed, with debris from the roof flying chaotically.
Tian Lin hastened to channel the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, pushing aside the flying debris while retreating to the street.
When he retreated to the corner, he only saw that where the county government once stood was now in ruins.
Zhao Kang and six other sect-leaving Disciples had surrounded Lin Ping’an.
Those six sect-leaving Disciples were all experts at the twelfth-tier of Qi Refining.
Among them, Zhao Kang and another Disciple from the Lu Family were former peak-holding Disciples of the Yao Yue Sect, which speaks volumes of their strength.
"Rest assured, fellow brothers and sisters, I brought along six twelfth-tier Qi Refining individuals to leave the sect; killing Lin Ping’an should be almost certain."
Zhuang Buzhou also retreated next to Tian Lin and the others, projecting his True Qi outward, turning all the incoming flying stones into dust three zhang away from him, quickly laying a thick layer of ash on the street.
Tian Lin glanced at Zhuang Buzhou, finding that this brother’s way of handling things was completely different from Xing Shanping’s.
Tian Lin dared not imagine what the scene would become if Xing Shanping came today instead of Zhuang Buzhou.
Now it was good, this brother was decisive in his actions, preventing future troubles and also sparing himself from embarrassment.
However, Zhuang Buzhou also had a fault; he was supposed to be the main force in killing Lin Ping’an, but at the critical moment, he avoided the conflict and let those sect-leaving Disciples take care of the life-and-death struggle.
If he were one of those Disciples from sect families, he would definitely be cursing with anger right now.
"It’s the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill!"
Qian Ping’s voice drew Tian Lin’s attention, just as a dragon’s roar suddenly resounded from within the battle.
In the fierce wind, a Qi Refiner from the Qian Family opened his mouth wide, and the dragon’s roar came howling out.
Accompanied by his roar, Lin Ping’an, dressed in official robes, was suddenly thrown out.
Before Lin Ping’an could get up, the Qi Refiner from the Qian Family spread his arms wide, and a giant ten zhang tall elephant appeared behind him.
Although the giant elephant was a conjured illusion, it followed the movements of the Qian Family Cultivator, stomping down on the grounded Lin Ping’an.
The elephant crushed the scattered debris, forming a huge pit on the ’relics’ of the government building.
Just then, Zhuang Buzhou finally leaped into the battlefield.
Xiao Hong also said: "Lin Ping’an is dead."
While speaking, she, along with Han Yue, fled towards the giant pit, with Qian Ping following closely behind, particularly excited:
"This is my Qian Family’s Dragon Elephant Divine Skill. Once it reaches the Great Achievement Realm, one can conjure out spiritual dragons and elephants!"
Great Achievement Realm, huh?
As Tian Lin approached the pit, his eyes were fixed on the Qian Family Cultivator.
The Qian Family Cultivator was supported by Zhao Kang, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
Tian Lin raised his eyebrows, observing the hints on the back of the Qian Family Cultivator’s hand, pressing down the surprise in his heart.
He then swept his gaze across the other five Cultivators.
Among the five cultivators, only Zhao Kang was uninjured, while the other four all bore various wounds.
Of the four injured cultivators, Tian Lin noticed that three of them showed the keyword ’hemostatic powder’.
In an instant, Tian Lin doubted his own eyes and couldn’t help but question his judgment: Could it be that not only the blood of the Devil Path Blood Sect would display the keyword ’hemostatic powder’?
He knew that in the Qi Refinement Realm, there were two methods to verify if a cultivator was from the Devil Path Blood Sect, among which the most convenient and direct was to see if their True Qi was Blood True Qi.
Because Qi Refiners couldn’t cultivate two types of True Qi simultaneously, if the other party belonged to the Devil Path Blood Sect, it would be impossible for them to release any True Qi other than Blood True Qi.
"Lin Ping’an is dead."
From the one-finger-deep elephant palm pit, Zhuang Buzhou spoke and then raised his hand to create a fireball, throwing it onto Lin Ping’an’s corpse.
Watching Lin Ping’an’s body crackle and pop under the flames, Xiao Hong couldn’t help but say, "If we don’t bring the body back, how will the sect determine that Lin Ping’an is truly dead?" Experience more tales on novelbuddy
"We’ll explain it to the Law Enforcement Hall when we return to the sect—before that, we need to kill the people from the county government."
Once he said this, Xiao Hong angrily replied, "Killing one Lin Ping’an was enough, if we involve the innocent, how are we any different from the Blood Sect?"
"Lin Ping’an was not innocent!"
The sound of Tian Lin’s voice drew the attention of Xiao Hong, and even Zhuang Buzhou turned to look at Tian Lin, who was squatting on the ground.
By this time, Tian Lin had already extinguished the large fire on Lin Ping’an’s body, revealing his torn open belly.
Tian Lin was seen holding a semi-transparent red granule in his blood-red hand.
He held the red granule up to Zhuang Buzhou and said,
"Lin Ping’an was indeed a Devil Path practitioner from the Blood Sect. It’s just uncertain how he managed to hide his own Blood True Qi during the fight."
As Tian Lin spoke, his gaze inadvertently drifted towards those sect disciples who had ventured out.
To his disappointment, the expressions of those disciples remained unchanged, and Tian Lin couldn’t spot any flaws on their faces.
"Good, as long as we can prove Lin Ping’an was a Devil Path practitioner, everything else will be easy to handle."
Zhuang Buzhou burst into laughter. He patted the red storage bag at his waist, and instantly, scores of Low Grade Spirit Stones appeared on the ground.
"This storage bag belonged to Lin Ping’an. Besides his own savings, there are also some belonging to the Wang couple—
I must bring the storage bag and Magical Treasure back to the sect for reporting, but I can share some Spirit Stones with each of you."
"Brother Zhuang is so generous!"
Zhao Kang was the first to come forward, smiling as he took ten Spirit Stones.
"I value my own life, so I did not take action just now, hence I won’t take any Spirit Stones. Although Tian didn’t make a move either, his contribution in exposing this was significant, so he deserves four Spirit Stones."
Since Lin Ping’an truly was a Devil Path practitioner, what everyone did was a righteous act.
And because Lin Ping’an wasn’t wrongfully accused, there was no need to kill any more people from the county government to cover up the truth.
For these reasons, Xiao Hong’s mood also improved considerably, and she said,
"Investigating the Devil Path practitioners in Lin’an County was the sect reward task I was meant to complete. The sect will reward me for this later, so I won’t take a share of your Spirit Stones."
Zhuang Buzhou shook his head, "If you don’t take Spirit Stones, how can Tian and Sister Han feel right about taking theirs? So, no one should refuse."
Tian Lin specifically selected Wood, Metal, Earth, and Fire Spirit Stones, as he only lacked Metal, Fire, and Wood Spirit Stones to reach the fourth tier of Qi Refinement.
The reason he did not choose Water Spirit Stones was because the Yao Yue Sect naturally produced Water Spirit Stones, which were easier to obtain than the others.
Now that he had the Spirit Stones in hand and Lin Ping’an was already dead, Tian Lin asked Zhuang Buzhou,
"The matter is settled, Brother, when do you plan to return to the sect?"
Zhuang Buzhou glanced at the sky and said, "It’s too late now, and the road might not be safe. Since we are closer to your fellow disciple Lu’s house, why not stay at the Lu Family’s home for the night?"
Tian Lin glanced at Brother Lu, who was now wounded in the chest and all over with the ’hemostatic powder’ keywords, and shook his head,
"It’s rare for me to leave the sect, so I plan to have a good look around the county. If Brother has no other orders, I’d like to return to the inn alone first."
Zhuang Buzhou nodded understandingly. Being from a sect family, he knew how those people looked down upon someone of Huahua Lang background like Tian Lin.
He didn’t try to persuade Tian Lin and let him leave the county government office by himself.
The chilling wind was somewhat cold as Tian Lin walked along the street, feeling quite at a loss.
The trip to the county town, with the deaths of the Wang couple, was a shock to Tian Lin by itself, but what truly made his skin crawl with horror was the fact that out of the six sect family disciples who came to the rescue, five cultivated Blood True Qi.
Moreover, these Devil Path practitioners all had the ability to hide their Blood True Qi.
One should know these individuals used to be sect disciples, and after leaving the sect, they held significant status within their families.
Zhuang Buzhou wanted Tian Lin to go to the Lu Family’s home, but Tian Lin feared that if he looked over, he’d see ’hemostatic powder’ keywords on the entire Lu Family.
Back at the county government office when he realized something was off about the outgoing sect disciples, he was too frightened to tell Zhuang Buzhou the truth.
Firstly, he had no evidence and secondly, he was starting to suspect if Zhuang Buzhou might also be a Devil Path practitioner from the Blood Sect.
"I should not tell anyone about this—if the current state of the Yao Yue Sect is such that I’m the only one not cultivating Blood True Qi."
Although he said it in jest, for Tian Lin, it was no laughing matter.
That night, Tian Lin consumed three of the four Spirit Stones and finally made a breakthrough to the fourth tier of Qi Refinement.
Early the next morning, without lingering in Lin’an County, he went to retrieve his horse from the tavern and rushed back to the Yao Yue Sect, traveling day and night.
