I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 292 - 256: Dark Room

Elder Ai sealed the Walking Corpse and, with a flick of his sleeve, enveloped Tian Lin and his companions, instantly arriving at the base of Wuliang Mountain.

Wuliang Mountain was where the Wu Family's Divine Temple dedicated to the Wuliang God was located, with the main house of the Wu Family built at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as Tian Lin and the others appeared, several streaks of light landed simultaneously halfway up the mountain.

The leading elder of the Wu Family Clan recognized Elder Ai. His expression slightly altered, and he promptly bowed with clasped hands, saying:

"Wu Youde of the Wu Family pays respects to Elder Ai."

The other two old men also bowed: "Wu Youcai and Wu Youli pay respects to Elder Ai."

Elder Ai snorted coldly and said, "What 'lacking virtue' or 'lacking talent'? Where is your new Clan Leader?"

Wu Youde's face showed a mournful expression as he replied, "Elder Ai should know that our newly elected Clan Leader perished last night along with the rest of our clansmen."

"Perished?"

Elder Ai's voice resounded with incredulity:

"Were they killed by the Wuliang God? Since the Wuliang God has begun to cause mischief, why didn't your Wuliang Mountain report to Xiangxi Sect? By allowing this Wuliang God to wreak havoc in the mortal world, aren't you afraid that Xiangxi Sect will hold you accountable in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Youde and the two others immediately knelt on the ground, "The Wu Family has worshipped the Wuliang God for thousands of years, never once witnessing any malevolence. This time it's truly unexpected—"

After speaking, Wu Youde remained kneeling, simply lifting his head to say to Elder Ai:

"Two months ago, the old Clan Leader consulted the oracle to divine his fate. Knowing that his life wouldn't last long, he boldly attempted to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm. But how difficult is it to transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul? Ultimately, the old Clan Leader failed to enter the Nascent Soul Realm and consequently his life and cultivation dissipated.

We juniors had no choice but to follow the old Clan Leader's final wishes to deal with his corpse and intended to send it to the Xiangxi Sect as an Undead."

As he reached this point, his brows slightly furrowed:

"But, unfortunately, as soon as the old Clan Leader's corpse was dispatched by the Undead at the beginning of last month, that very night the Wuliang God made its presence known. The villagers of Wu Family Village all dreamed of the Wuliang God that night, searching for a person named Zhang Sheng."

He said this while his gaze still rested on Elder Ai.

However, Elder Ai's gaze was fixed on Tian Lin instead.

Tian Lin himself was taken aback; he remembered that the time he entered the land of mass burial coincided exactly with the beginning of last month. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Thus, when Elder Ai said the Wuliang God was drawn because of him, it wasn't entirely false.

But he didn't recognize Zhang Sheng, nor had he ever had any interaction with Zhang Sheng. Why then was the Wuliang God so fixated on him?

"At that time, although the Wuliang God appeared, it did not kill anyone. For half a month straight after, despite the recurring dreams, no villager suffered harm because of them.

Seeing this, we juniors thought the problem was not severe, so we did not report it to the sect—until this time."

Elder Ai scoffed coldly: "You're reluctant to lose the benefits that the Wuliang God brings you, so you didn't want to report it to the sect. But have you not considered how your greed has caused the downfall of your Wu Family?"

After finishing his words, Elder Ai said, "Well? Why don't you open the temple gate quickly, so I can figure out how to seal this Evil Spirit?"

Over there, Wu Youde quickly stood up, signaling the other two old men, and quickly strode towards a rock wall on the back mountain.

Wu Youde began to mutter incantations toward the stone wall, then let his blood soak into it.

Wuliang Mountain trembled, and the stone wall swiftly split open.

An expansive cave hidden within the belly of the mountain was then revealed before everyone's eyes.

Tian Lin and the others followed Elder Ai into the cave.

Inside the cave, there was no airflow, but the hundreds, if not thousands, of candles stuck into the stone walls were not extinguished.

The entire cave was brightly illuminated with lamps, without any reliance on the sunlight from outside.

In the brightly-lit area of the cave, kneeling corpses were seen on every mat. These undead were all bowing towards the south of the cave, as if participating in a pilgrimage.

Each of the walking corpses had talisman paper attached to them, leaving them unable to move.

However, the divine platform they were worshiping was now eerily empty.

The faces of Wu Youde and the other three Clan Leaders changed drastically as they rushed to the divine platform, pointing at the empty space and shouted, "Where is the palanquin of the Wuliang God?"

No one answered them, and Tian Lin followed closely behind Elder Ai to the front of the divine platform.

Tian Lin looked at the dust on the divine platform, as well as the faint footprints, and said to Elder Ai, "It seems that it was the old Clan Leader of the Wu Family who took the palanquin away."

"Nonsense, our old Clan Leader has long since passed away. Even if he were still alive, how could he come to the Divine Temple and steal the Wuliang God?"

Wu Youde glared at Tian Lin and said, "You must be the disciple from the Wendaos Sect of the Tian Family, right? It's one thing for you to come to the Wu Family to buy Elixirs, but why would you slander our old Clan Leader?"

Tian Lin glanced at Wu Youde and did not respond to him, instead he continued to Elder Ai, "I think that this old Clan Leader could not have taken the palanquin too far away; he should still be on Wuliang Mountain."

Elder Ai nodded his head. He pulled a piece of talisman paper from his Storage Bag.

With a slight shake, the talisman paper instantly turned into a small fireball on its own.

The fireball drifted up from his palm and then fluttered towards the western wall of the cave like a will-o'-the-wisp. Unfortunately, blocked by the mountain wall, the small fireball collided with it and was extinguished.

Elder Ai took the lead to the mountain wall, touched the wall with his hand, let out a cold laugh, and then pressed his right hand against it,

The whole Wuliang Mountain trembled, followed by a 'boom' as the mountain wall collapsed on the spot, revealing another hidden cave behind it.

As the mountain wall fell, huge rocks tumbled down.

Fortunately, none of the people present had a cultivation below the Foundation Establishment Realm, so there was no fear of being hit by these large rocks.

Tian Lin turned his head and glanced at Wu Youde and the others, noticing that all three of them were shocked. It looked like they were also unaware of the existence of another cave mansion within this Divine Temple.

Following Elder Ai's gesture, the obstructing huge rocks were all turned into dust, and the group trod over several feet of thick dust as they moved deeper into the narrow stone room.

About thirty feet into the pitch-black stone room, a light finally appeared.

The group swiftly came upon a spacious stone room with walls that were extremely smooth and flat.

Oil lamps hung everywhere on the stone walls at all sides.

Tian Lin held his breath and said, "It seems like this is Corpse Oil!"

There was no need for him to say it, because these oil lamps had a very unique design—all made from beheaded walking corpses with wicks twisted from their necks, lit using the undead as fuel.

The group did not pay attention to these walking corpses, and instead directly looked towards the stone platform in the lit area of the stone room, and the Transmission Array on the south wall.

Where the Transmission Array led to, the group did not know.

But the palanquin placed on the stone platform, was clearly the palanquin of the Wuliang God without any doubt.

"Why is the palanquin here, but where is the person who stole it?"

Wu Youde approached the palanquin, and then looked around at the stone walls.

Apart from the west side where the passage was opened, the other three stone walls all bore relief portraits of figures.

Tian Lin glanced over them, listening as the Village Chief from Heishan Village explained, "These engraved portraits are all the ancestors of our Wu Family from previous generations."

Tian Lin skimmed over the portraits, feeling around and touching everything with his hands.
