Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

"Who told you to launch a counter-attack?"

"The Crimson Ghost Sect didn't make a move before because they needed to break some seals! Their true experts were all tied up! That doesn't mean we can just easily end this now!"

Looking at Xia Yijing, Lin Yun couldn't help but put a hand to his forehead. These people were far too naive. A tiny victory had made them this arrogant?

Xia Yijing was completely frantic. Cen Xiuer, who had rushed over with the news, added, "I said it before, that An Shenyu's plan would never work! Who does he think he is, that he can just sort everything out so easily?"

If it weren't for An Shenyu, they wouldn't have had to come to a place like this. They had to admit, their opponents were much stronger than they had imagined.

"So what do we do now? An Shenyu said this was the perfect time to counter-attack."

Lin Yun held up a hand to quiet them. "I have to ask, who exactly is this An Shenyu?"

"The head disciple of the Constant Sun Sect," Cen Xiuer replied.

At that moment, many other people began to arrive. Ye Qian and Kong Xuan, whom he hadn't seen for some time, were also among them. They both looked at Lin Yun, their emotions a complicated mix.

Ye Qian was clearly stunned. The young Lin Yun had actually already reached the Sky-Soaring Realm. How long had it been since he first entered the inner sect? The speed was simply too fast.

Kong Xuan, on the other hand, had a look of pure admiration. "Senior Brother Lin is truly the most talented cultivator I have ever seen! To think you've broken through again!"

Ye Qian snorted. "He's just lucky. One day, I will surpass him and let him know that I'm not to be trifled with either!" She was fiercely competitive. If Lin Yun could do it, why couldn't she?

Beside her, Kong Xuan whispered, "Senior Sister Ye, are you sure you can do it?"

Ye Qian was at a loss for words.

Hearing their chatter, Lin Yun let out an angry huff. "I rescued you all to preserve the strength of our sects, not for you to come here, make fools of yourselves, and get killed!" He shook his head. These people were trying to bite off more than they could chew.

Just then, a handsome young man strode forward.

"Who are you? What gives you the right to issue orders here?" An Shenyu looked at Lin Yun with open contempt.

When the Crimson Ghost Sect had made their move, An Shenyu had managed to cleverly avoid them. He had subsequently rescued a number of people. But unlike Lin Yun, these people were very high-profile, even preparing to launch a full-scale counter-attack against the Crimson Ghost Sect.

Lin Yun looked at him.

[Name]: An Shenyu

[Realm]: Spirit Cauldron - Stage 4

[Destiny Template]: Prodigy's Talent (Purple)

[Attributes]: Arrogance of Yelang (Blue), Handsome and Talented Appearance (Purple), Eloquent (Green)

[Fate]: Encounters an opportunity at Changtong River, but dies in the secret treasure land due to insufficient strength.

[Recent Turning Point]: In the Spirit Realm, organizes surviving cultivators to counter-attack the Crimson Ghost Sect, fails, and escapes by using others to die in his place.

Another one destined to die young, Lin Yun thought. And he's choosing now of all times to cause trouble. But given his personality as a bird who likes to stick its head out, how was he not dead yet? Lin Yun snorted.

"I am Lin Yun of the Beast Taming Sect. Half of the people behind you were rescued by me." He said this calmly, thinking, Surely after all that, you won't still think you're better than me?

Who knew that An Shenyu would just laugh in his face.

"A mere Sky-Soaring Realm cultivator. You only managed to save them because you got lucky and exploited an opening. Among all the disciples present, my strength is the greatest. Shouldn't I be the one calling the shots?" An Shenyu was incredibly smug. After all, strength reigned supreme. Even if Lin Yun had really saved these people, he was still just in the Sky-Soaring Realm.

"But now you've led us into an encirclement. Facing a Crimson Ghost Sect that has already bared its fangs, I wonder what Senior Brother An plans to do?" Lin Yun didn't get angry, merely posing a reasonable and well-founded question. No matter how capable this man was, the current situation should be enough to make him understand his predicament.

"It's just the Crimson Ghost Sect. Our morale is high right now. Should we be afraid of them? We cultivators must be prepared to fight these heretical sects to the death! All of you, listen to me! I refuse to believe that a minor Crimson Ghost Sect can keep us down!"

Watching An Shenyu spout such arrogant nonsense, Lin Yun felt the situation was completely hopeless. Rely on him to defeat the Crimson Ghost Sect?

Just then, he heard a disciple nearby mutter a few words. "Didn't he escape by selling us out before?"

An Shenyu's eyes instantly shot towards the speaker.

"I don't care what you all mean, but I'll make my position clear right here," he declared loudly. "Either you cooperate with me honestly, and I guarantee I can get everyone out safely. Or, you can wait to be annihilated by the Crimson Ghost Sect. Are you really going to trust a Sky-Soaring Realm kid over me?" His face was a mask of disdain.

Kong Xuan spoke up. "Senior Brother Lin is the disciple who reached the Sky-Soaring Realm in the shortest time, and he also defeated Senior Brother Xiao!"

An Shenyu's face grew even uglier. He had always been the eternal number two. When Xiao Pingtian was around, what relevance did he have? But now that Xiao Pingtian had been captured, his fate unknown, An Shenyu felt like he was 'the man' again.

"Hmph, nonsense! Him? A mere Sky-Soaring cultivator?" Several of An Shenyu's followers chimed in. "That's right! Wasn't this guy only in the Origin Sea Realm before? How could he possibly defeat the Spirit Cauldron Realm Senior Brother Xiao?"

In the hearts of many, Xiao Pingtian was like a god. To have been promoted to the rank of a Myriad Law Realm elder at such a young age… such a cultivation speed was an impressive record in the entire cultivation world. No one would believe that such an expert could lose to an Origin Sea Realm boy.

Lin Yun couldn't be bothered to deal with them. He just looked at the crowd of cultivators. "I am not one to force others. If you wish to stay and fight, I have no objection. If you want to leave, then come with me. While I cannot absolutely guarantee I can get you out, these people will have to pay a price if they want to stop me."

Lin Yun looked at the crowd. He didn't care how they chose. Those who followed him, he would naturally protect. But if they chose to refuse, he wouldn't force them. The disciples of the Crimson Ghost Sect would eventually teach them how treacherous life can be.

As for An Shenyu, Lin Yun had no faith that this man would step up at a critical moment. He was probably just another embroidered pillow, like Xiao Pingtian.

"I have already asked Senior Brother Zhou to contact the sect elders. They will arrive soon to get us out of here!"
