I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 326 - 290: The Whole Story
"Is it because this unruly little tiger demon bit someone from the Fu family that your Guo family was implicated?"
Ju Yunhai thought of his own family, where villagers offered tributes yearly. Depending on the quality of these tributes, the clan's descendants sometimes implicated the villagers.
But things were not as Ju Yunhai imagined. Guo Yuanhuai decisively shook his head:
"Though the little tiger demon was full of Spiritual Energy, it was born not too long ago, what power could it truly have? It didn't harm anyone, in fact, it was killed and eaten by some of those useless dandies of the Fu family."
Everyone knew clearly in their hearts, the trouble might have started with the burning of the little tiger demon by those from the Fu family.
Yet, everyone couldn't figure out why, if the Fu family already killed the little tiger demon, what trouble could it still cause, so much so that the Fu family would exterminate the entire Guo family.
Everyone looked at Guo Yuanhuai, listening as he explained, "It was only after they killed the little tiger demon that they realized it had an extraordinary background."
Sister Jia nodded, "Indeed, this is the Demon Forest. There are always some Great Demons that ordinary people can't provoke, and I suppose this little tiger demon is the child of a Great Demon."
But Guo Yuanhuai said, "As long as it's not the child of a Divinity Transformation Great Demon, no other Great Demons can force the Fu family to take action against us. The real issue is that this little tiger demon is not the child of a Great Demon, but the son of Fu Tianchou."
As soon as he said this, everyone felt it was utterly absurd.
Tian Lin was especially incredulous, knowing that Fu Tianchou once boastfully said, 'How can you get a tiger cub without entering a tiger's lair.'
But Tian Lin's past life teachings told him, there should be reproductive isolation between humans and beasts.
Could it be that cultivation allows humans and beasts to transcend their races, sharing the same world and sky?
"Haha, I've only heard that Fu Tianchou was desperately searching for a Spiritual Pet from heaven and earth, determined to find one most suited to him."
Aunt Mei snorted coldly, "Who would have thought, after being dissatisfied with the Spiritual Pets he found, he decided to make one with a demon beast himself."
Ju Yunhai hadn't been to Shuiyun Sect, so he didn't know Fu Tianchou. Hence, after hearing Aunt Mei's words, he was tongue-tied for a long while before squeezing out a sentence:
"What an eccentric idea, this Elder Fu truly is unconventional. But human and tiger, can they really produce a beast?"
Before Guo Yuanhuai could reply, Aunt Mei scoffed, "Just like the Xiangxi Sect, they refine themselves into corpses in the end.
The Beast Taming Sect is similar, absorbing demon energy to turn from human to demon. So, tell me, are they human, or are they demons?"
Sister Jia wasn't interested in the cultivation methods of Xiangxi Sect and the Beast Taming Sect, she asked Guo Yuanhuai:
"So, some dandies from the Fu family killed the little tiger demon, but Fu Tianchou wants to exterminate your clan?"
Guo Yuanhuai nodded, "Those dandies are indeed related to Fu Tianchou, but in his rage, Fu Tianchou has already killed those dandies.
And now, with my family's ancestor dead, Fu Tianchou happens to be returning from out of town—"
Sister Jia continued her questioning, "Fu Tianchou wants to kill you because there's a 'murdering of a son' feud between you and him.
You're not asking us to help plead with Fu Tianchou, are you? We don't know Fu Tianchou, and even if we did, how could he possibly listen to us?"
Guo Yuanhuai quickly said, "We know the grave mistake has been committed beyond redemption, so we dare not ask you immortal disciples to plead for us.
All I ask is for you young heroes to visit our clan's ancestor's secluded place. Take our Guo family's Qingming Sword out of the Demon Forest and give it to my young grandson."
Sister Jia nodded, they now understood Guo Yuanhuai's intentions.
Guo Yuanhuai didn't expect them to stop Fu Tianchou; they had already prepared to perish together as a family.
However, perhaps the Guo family foresaw this day, thus having descendants elsewhere.
As long as the descendants outside survive, the Guo family cannot be said to be extinct. As long as the Qingming Sword is not lost, the Guo family still has a chance to rise again.
The reason they asked Tian Lin and the others to retrieve the sword was because of their identities.
Compared to ordinary people, the Wen Dao Sect wouldn't covet the Guo family's Qingming Sword.
And it's also because of the identities of the Wen Dao Sect disciples that the Qingming Sword has a chance to be safely escorted out of the Demon Forest.
"Clan Leader Guo's meaning is clear. Then please tell us the location of your clan's ancestor's secluded place, so we can head over as soon as possible."
"Young heroes need not be in such a rush, wait until after the meal—"
Guo Yuanhuai's words were interrupted by Ju Yunhai: "The meal can wait, if we're too late, the Qingming Sword falling into someone else's hands wouldn't be ideal."
How could Guo Yuanhuai not be anxious?
Hearing Ju Yunhai say this, he couldn't be polite anymore.
He took out a map from his Storage Bag and handed it to Ju Yunhai:
"It takes a day's journey to the ancestor's secluded place using Sword Control. I know it's quite dangerous there, so I've prepared some small gifts as travel expenses for the young heroes."
He took out another Storage Bag and handed it to Ju Yunhai, who accepted it and glanced inside, saying, "These gifts are quite generous."
Guo Yuanhuai responded, "Our entire family is doomed to die, what use is there in keeping these things now?"
After speaking, he actually got up and prostrated himself on the ground, tremblingly saying, "The entire old and young of the Guo family, I entrust to the hands of you young heroes."
Ju Yunhai hurriedly tried to help Guo Yuanhuai up, but before he could, Guo Yuanhuai's wife and children behind him had already knelt down.
Seeing this, Ju Yunhai had to say, "Since I have accepted your valuables, I will not fail what you've entrusted to me."
After speaking, he turned his head and said to Tian Lin and Sister Jia, "Junior brother, junior sister, shall we set off now?"
Tian Lin and Sister Jia had no real appetite, and both glanced toward Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei had already gotten up and was striding towards the doorway.
A group of Fu family members almost ushered Tian Lin and the others out, while over by the other side, Yun'er and Feng'er had long since come over after hearing the commotion.
As they opened the main gate, a voice sounded in the dark wilderness:
"By Elder Fu's decree, no one from the Guo family is allowed to step out, violators will be killed without mercy."
As the voice reached them, Guo Yuanhuai mustered his True Qi and shouted:
"The ones stepping out are immortal disciples of the Wen Dao Sect. Friends outside, I guarantee that no one from the Guo family will step out, you won't be troubled."
After Guo Yuanhuai finished shouting, the other side said, "As long as Clan Leader Guo doesn't trouble us, what else can we brothers say?
Friends of the Wen Dao Sect, you may proceed as you please!"
Amid the howls of tigers and wolves, hundreds of torches made way for a path.
To be in the Demon Forest and also participate in trapping the Guo family, one's cultivation must at least be at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, Tian Lin and the others suspected that mid-stage Foundation Establishment was only a minority among them, most were likely late-stage Foundation Establishment.
One or two hundred late-stage Foundation Establishment, even if Aunt Mei was powerful, it would be impossible for her to confront them head-on.
At this moment, after saying their farewells to Guo Yuanhuai, they began to walk towards the manor's exit.
As they passed by the archway, the corpses that Aunt Mei had once injured were nowhere to be found.
