I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong Chapter 337 301 Lingering Evil Spirit

The one shouting that sothing went wrong was a middle-aged man in the Early-stage Foundation Establishnt. Tian Lin recognized him as the rchant clan leader's brother.

When Tian Lin stepped out, he saw that Granny i and Ju Yunhai had already left the house before he did.

All three walked towards the middle-aged man, and Granny i asked harshly, "Who has disappeared this ti?"

The middle-aged man's face looked terrible. He said, "The entire rchant clan, all of them have vanished without a trace."

This statent left everyone there montarily stunned. Granny i first asked, "Where is your clan leader? Where are your elders? And what about the five idiots from the Shi family?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Only my elder brother and the Great Elder, along with a few fellow cultivators from the Shi family, remain. Everyone below the Foundation Establishnt Realm disappeared overnight."

Upon hearing this, Tian Lin exchanged a glance with Ju Yunhai and asked him, "Where is the rchant clan leader now?"

"My brother asked to invite the three of you to the main hall for a discussion."

Tian Lin and the others, knowing where the rchant clan's main hall was, went there together with the middle-aged man.

The rchant's residence was adorned in white, and the main hall was set up as a mourning hall.

In the mourning hall, a red coffin lay in place, and on either side of it sat the five brothers of the Shi family.

In addition, the Shi family's elder beside them was sitting the rchant clan leader and the rchant elder.

When Tian Lin and the others appeared, only the rchant clan leader and the rchant elder hurriedly stood up.

The rchant elder looked pale and listless as he said, "My entire clan, thousands of people, have fallen victim overnight to an evil spirit's trick."

anwhile, the Shi family's elder beside him sat in the chair, arrogantly saying, "This evil spirit doesn't seem to be without intelligence, knowing to pick easy targets."

When the Shi family's eldest finished speaking, the second eldest sneered, "Whether it's an evil spirit or an evil person, that can't be said for certain."

The rchant elder, who had been silent, could finally hold back no more. He looked at the Shi family's second and eldest:

"If you have sothing to say, say it directly. Why beat around the bush? Aren't you suspecting that the evil spirit is impersonated by my clan's young leader?"

"So you're finally admitting it?"

The Shi family's eldest stood up and said, "Your clan's young leader was severely injured, so he harbored the evil intention of devouring human souls to strengthen himself—it's not that surprising, given that the world is no longer as averse to soul cultivation.

Moreover, your young leader is consuming his own people, which doesn't concern us, so there's no need to be so sneaky about it?"

The rchant elder's face sank as he questioned the Shi family's eldest, "When did I ever admit it was my young leader posing as an evil spirit? You claim it's my young leader's doing, but where's the evidence?"

The Shi family's second brother chuckled, pulling out a sheet of paper from his storage bag: "I, being unworthy, kept the footprint of your young clan leader when your clan's ancestor 'possessed' him.

Last night, we brothers wanted to investigate which evil spirit was causing trouble and scattered bone ash at the entrance. Now, we finally caught the evil spirit's footprints—look, don't these footprints exactly match your young master's footprints?"

One of the two sheets left a pair of bloody footprints, while the other left black footprints.

But although the colors differed, the footprints were indeed identical.

Both the rchant elder and rchant clan leader's expressions changed, and the Shi family's eldest exclaid, "Now, can you still deny it?"

The rchant clan leader quickly replied, "I know nothing of this, nor has my son ever ntioned it to ."

Instead, Granny i looked curiously at the rchant clan leader and asked, "Is your son perhaps a cultivator from the Goddess Sect?"

The rchant clan leader didn't understand Granny i's words, but Tian Lin and Ju Yunhai comprehended her aning.

The Goddess Sect never accepts male disciples, and the female disciples of the Goddess Sect usually go barefoot.

Especially barefootedness, which has almost beco a hallmark of the Goddess Sect. Other cultivators, regardless of gender, rarely walk barefoot.

The red footprints left by the Shi family brothers were created after taking off the shoes of the rchant clan's son.

But the black footprints were different, clearly stamped by the rchant clan's son himself.

Besides disciples of the Goddess Sect, there might be cultivators who like going barefoot, but this surely doesn't include the rchant clan's young lord.

Because after the disappearance of the rchant clan's son, Granny i and Ju Yunhai inquired a lot about him and never heard of such a habit.

"Are you suggesting, Ms. i, that the rchant clan's son is an impostor?"

"A physical body cannot be faked."

When Tian Lin asked, Ju Yunhai imdiately spoke up, "Even if it was a disguise, you can't completely disguise footprints. So it can be predicted that the black footprints left last night were indeed from the rchant clan's son."

"Which ans the rchant clan's son might have beco an evil spirit, or perhaps hasn't beco an evil spirit but pretends as one to commit misdeeds."

Granny i, reaching this point, looked at the rchant clan leader and said, "Could it be that this precious son of yours lost his mind after being possessed by a ghost? What on earth does he want to do?"

The rchant clan leader was left speechless for a mont.

Amidst the rchant clan leader's silence, Tian Lin suddenly said, "Perhaps the rchant clan's son is already dead, and the evil spirit now troubling the rchant clan is likely the rchant clan's ancestor."

The Shi family's eldest imdiately denied: "Impossible, the Shi family's ancestor is still in my jar. How could it break out and cause trouble? Tian, are you saying this intentionally to stir things up?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "It should be said that the one in your jar is just a fragnt of the rchant clan's ancestor's soul. Most likely, the larger part is still within the rchant clan's son."

As Tian Lin continued, he asked Ju Yunhai and the rchant elder, "The two of you entered the Sea of Consciousness with . You should rember the state when the rchant clan's ancestor and his son were conjoined."

Ju Yunhai nodded and said, "At that ti, half of the conjoined Divine Soul was the rchant clan's ancestor, and the other half was the rchant clan's son."

"Even though we forcibly separated their Divine Souls, they had been fused for too long. Could they really be entirely separated? Furthermore, both of them being partial souls, a portion of them had turned into mist. Could it be that no part of their souls was hidden in the Sea of Consciousness?"

After Tian Lin finished speaking, he said, "I suspect that the rchant clan's son now might have also beco an evil spirit, having beco a part of the rchant clan's ancestor."

Contrary to habit, the Shi family's eldest agreed with Tian Lin's conclusion, saying,

"That explains it well. The rchant clan's ancestor took over the rchant clan's son's body, hence the footprints belonging to their son. And he has been stealing people's souls daily to repair himself."

"He was already a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt, on the verge of Golden Core, as an evil spirit. Given he has absorbed so many people, who knows how terrifying his power might have beco?"

Tian Lin asked the rchant clan leader, "Clan leader, are you still going to hold a funeral for your clan's ancestor?"

Held back by the funeral arrangents for his ancestor, for which his family was already lost, the rchant clan leader filled with resentnt, replied through gritted teeth:

"What funeral? I just want to spend all my fortune to refine this old scoundrel into a soul lamp. Had I known he'd be a curse to the descendants, I should've just sold him to the Xiangxi Sect for so Spirit Stones."

"What's the use of saying that? What you should consider now is how to deal with your ancestor. I reckon it's already after us. If not dealt with, it will likely haunt us endlessly."
