Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

An Shenyu's figure froze in place. He stared, dumbfounded, at the curtain of light.

Just a moment ago, he had thought he was about to escape to freedom. He never imagined he would be blocked before he was even halfway there. He looked back at Lin Yun, who had already retreated to the side. Even if An Shenyu's brain worked slowly, he knew now that this man had been aware of this all along. Everything he had done was intentional.

"You swagger into the encampment of our Crimson Ghost Sect, looking for trouble," a cold voice echoed from the air. "And now that you realize you're not strong enough, you think you can just run away? Where in the world do you think you'll find such a good deal?"

Zhao Teng had already blocked their path forward. Since they had come knocking on his door, the Crimson Ghost Sect was certainly not going to let them leave.

An Shenyu had thought he could seize the initiative and use the momentum of Lin Yun's group to escape. He never imagined that his plan would play right into Lin Yun's hands.

Seeing Zhao Teng suddenly appear, An Shenyu roared in fury, "Lin Yun, you set me up?" He should have been able to escape, but now he and his followers were caught in the heart of the storm.

"Say whatever you want," Lin Yun replied coolly. "But don't you dare be the villain who cries foul first. You were the one who wanted to desert in the heat of battle. You were the one who claimed you would lead everyone out, but the moment you met real danger, you were the first to run."

Lin Yun certainly wasn't going to pass up such a perfect opportunity to attack him verbally. The young disciples here were all chess pieces that An Shenyu had abandoned.

An Shenyu's face turned ugly. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. Just then, he had a sudden brainwave. He looked at Zhao Teng.

"Senior, if you are willing, my men and I are prepared to cooperate with you to help you deal with these people."

Hearing this, even Zhao Teng was stunned. He knew this An Shenyu was no man of honor, but he never thought he would surrender so quickly.

"Our Crimson Ghost Sect has always treated those who understand the times very well," Zhao Teng said, a playful look in his eyes. "Why don't you tell me how you can be of help to me?" He looked at An Shenyu as if he were a clown performing on a stage.

An Shenyu could, of course, sense Zhao Teng's attitude. But for him, even knowing all this, it seemed he had no other choice.

"Many of the people here are my former comrades," he said cautiously. "Therefore, I am very familiar with their methods. If Senior is willing, I can work with you to deal with them."

An Shenyu's escape had already drawn the ire of many. In their eyes, his actions were not befitting a powerful cultivator of a righteous sect. They never imagined that when faced with danger, An Shenyu would have even less integrity, betraying the camaraderie of having fought alongside them without a second thought. And what made it worse was that he was the one who had brought them here to fight the Crimson Ghost Sect in the first place.

"An Shenyu, have you no shame?"

"That's right! You kept saying you would lead us to fight the Crimson Ghost Sect together! Is this how you fight them?"

The crowd erupted in protest. In their eyes, An Shenyu was being utterly shameless.

Lin Yun took it all in. But he had no intention of stopping it. Instead, he just watched quietly from the side. The louder the chorus of opposition to An Shenyu grew, the more he would be able to accomplish next.

Hearing the mocking voices of the crowd behind him, An Shenyu's face flushed with embarrassment.

At that moment, Zhao Teng's expression grew dark as he stared at him. "I was just wondering why these people would suddenly come to attack us. So it turns out you were the one who ruined everything."

Zhao Teng snorted. Lin Yun was undoubtedly strong, but the Crimson Ghost Sect didn't believe that he alone was capable of commanding the entire cultivation world. Now, the truth of the matter had finally come to light. It was all because of An Shenyu.

An Shenyu, already aware of his awkward position, had been desperately trying to think of a way out. Now, hearing Zhao Teng's words, he frantically shook his head. "Your Excellency, do not believe what you just heard! It's absolutely not true!" His voice trembled as he spoke. He was no match for Zhao Teng now. His only option was to negotiate a deal with him to save his own skin.

But Zhao Teng couldn't be bothered to say any more. "You don't need to explain so much to me. I know what happened. Today, we have no other choice."

At this thought, Zhao Teng raised his sword. "Let me kill you first." As he spoke, he swung his longsword.

In that instant, An Shenyu suddenly grabbed the two followers beside him. Without any hesitation, he used them as human shields. The two followers were already terrified of Zhao Teng. The next second, caught completely off guard, they were cut down by a single sword strike. Blood sprayed through the air.

Seeing that there was no escape, An Shenyu charged directly toward Lin Yun's group. In his mind, no matter what, he could not die here today. Since Lin Yun was unwilling to act, he just needed to stand beside him. The man couldn't possibly let everyone else die just like that, could he?

An Shenyu thought his plan was quite brilliant.

But who could have known that just then, Lin Yun would raise his right hand. Seeing An Shenyu rushing towards him, a derisive smile hung on his lips. Still thinking of coming back, even now? Does he really think he can just wish for things and have them come true?

At this thought, Lin Yun unleashed a move from his Great River Sword Style. A rolling wave of sword Qi smashed towards him.

An Shenyu had thought that since they were all from righteous sects, even if Lin Yun was displeased with him, he wouldn't deal a killing blow at a moment like this. His death would bring Lin Yun no benefit. But now, seeing the rolling sword Qi coming for him, his heart skipped a beat.

"Lin Yun, you are so heartless! We are all from righteous sects! What benefit is there for you in killing me? In such a desperate situation, shouldn't we be fighting shoulder-to-shoulder? With my strength, I can still be of help to you!"

At a time like this, An Shenyu's words were once again pompous and high-sounding.

"What a shameless man."

"I never thought someone could be so shameless."

Kong Xuan cursed, her voice filled with disgust. She was truly infuriated by this man who had no bottom line.

Ye Qian just snorted. An Shenyu was not escaping death today. And Lin Yun would never let this man get close to them and ruin his plans.

An Shenyu was forced to retreat.

And Lin Yun, seizing the opportunity, returned to the safety of his group's encirclement.
