Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

Lin Yun had nothing more to say to the Chongqing Bird. He continued to probe forward.

He had originally thought the Abyssal Demon Flame Ghost would attack him directly. After all, a sneak attack in this situation would be a once-and-for-all solution. But to his surprise, the creature was incredibly patient.

Lin Yun had drawn so close, yet he still knew very little about the creature. It was as if it truly had no intention of making a move.

To avoid becoming the target of an ambush, Lin Yun spoke aloud. "Let's wait a bit. They'll be catching up soon. I definitely can't get this much on my own. We'll all move together when the time comes," he said with a smile.

Just then, he saw a blurry shadow in the Flame Marsh.

A cold smile touched his lips. You little sneak. I knew you were planning an ambush. Luckily, I'm a bit smarter, otherwise, you really would have succeeded.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Being targeted by the Abyssal Demon Flame Ghost was definitely not a good thing. That was why he had said what he said. He hadn't actually expected it to deceive the creature, but surprisingly, the beast truly seemed to believe him. It willingly let Lin Yun pass, waiting for the "bigger fish" to arrive later.

Just like that, Lin Yun soon arrived at the base of the statue.

At the same time, Huang Zonghua and his group also appeared.

"Lin Yun, your good days are over."

At this moment, Lin Yun had just pried off some of the Liyang Divine Iron and hadn't even had time to put it away. Seeing these people, he just smiled and asked, "And who are you? The moment you show up, you tell me my good days are over. What, are you all fortune tellers?" He showed them no courtesy whatsoever.

Hearing Lin Yun's difficult tone, Huang Zonghua sneered. "Lin Yun, you deceived your master and betrayed your ancestors. You know full well why we've come here today. Put down the Liyang Divine Iron in your hands, and we might still spare your life. But if you remain so stubbornly unrepentant, then don't blame us for being discourteous!"

As he spoke, Huang Zonghua had already prepared to strike. The others also surrounded Lin Yun. Under the influence of their Fire-Repelling Pearls, they had no need to worry about their own safety. Lin Yun, on the other hand, was not in a good position.

[Name]: Huang Zonghua

[Realm]: Spirit Cauldron - Stage 2

[Destiny Template]: Extremely Good Fortune (Gold)

[Attributes]: Peerless Spear (Purple), Great Joy, Great Sorrow (Green), Grows Stronger with Age (Purple)

[Fate]: Dies in the Yanze of the Void Heavenly Palace. In the battle against the Abyssal Demon Flame Ghost, although he fights with all his might, he is ultimately killed due to his cultivation being inferior to his opponent's.

[Recent Turning Point]: Besieges Lin Yun in the Spirit Realm.

As expected. Just as Lin Yun had guessed, this was his fate.

Huang Zonghua was still completely unaware. Even the people beside him were all poised and ready for a fight.

"Do you really think you can capture me here with just the few of you?" Lin Yun shook his head. "If it were that simple, someone would have done it long ago."

Seeing the smile on Huang Zonghua's face, Lin Yun knew he hadn't understood his meaning at all.

"Lin Yun, I advise you to give up your resistance. It's the best choice for you. If you continue to court death at a time like this, we'll have no choice but to get rough!" Huang Zonghua said with great conviction. After all, he had strength in numbers. "The high temperature of the Flame Marsh must be making you uncomfortable, right? Put down the Liyang Divine Iron, and I can give you a quick death."

He had expected Lin Yun to refuse. But to his utter shock, Lin Yun actually put it down.

"Alright. The Liyang Divine Iron is right here," Lin Yun said. "If you want it, come and get it."

After he spoke, he turned and walked away.

No one expected him to leave so decisively, without the slightest hesitation. The group was dumbfounded. What was happening? Had the boy really given up so easily?

While they were still hesitating, Lin Yun had already vanished.

"This doesn't make sense. With his personality, how could he possibly give us such an opportunity?" They couldn't understand it. This wasn't something a person like Lin Yun would do.

But with things as they were, and with such a great prize before them, how could they think too much about it?

"Senior Brother Huang, should we go after him?" one of the disciples asked quietly. "If we let that kid run, it'll be much harder to catch him next time." Lin Yun's movement technique was superb; he hadn't stayed in their line of sight for long. They were now unsure whether to pursue him or let him go.

Huang Zonghua sneered. Even if they gave chase now, it was probably too late.

"This is the Flame Marsh. The fact that he could make it this far means he's already a spent force. The reason he was unwilling to clash with us was that he desperately needs time to recover. And that is precisely our opportunity."

Huang Zonghua looked at the Liyang Divine Iron before them. This was a forging material that everyone in the cultivation world dreamed of. Countless divine weapons were forged with it as their base.

"To turn a deaf ear to such a great opportunity right in front of us… people would laugh at us if word got out," he declared. "We don't need to be anxious about Lin Yun for now. That kid isn't going anywhere. Let's collect this Liyang Divine Iron first."

Just as Lin Yun had thought, faced with such rare materials, they would certainly not continue to pursue him.

But unfortunately for them, Huang Zonghua would never understand that this was a flaw Lin Yun had deliberately left for them. The moment they turned their attention to the Liyang Divine Iron, their fate was sealed.

The disciples were all hoping to stay and gather some materials, but they hadn't dared to say so earlier. Now that Huang Zonghua had given his approval, they naturally had no reason to refuse, and all of them rushed forward.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun was hiding in the distance, concealing his presence.

"It seems these fools were ultimately blinded by the prize before their eyes," he sneered.

As the saying goes: to wear out iron shoes searching for something in vain, only to obtain it without any effort. Using these people, he could neatly avoid the Abyssal Demon Flame Ghost. That creature's strength was no simple matter. In his current state, if he were to fight it here, defeat was certain.

Huang Zonghua's group, however, might just be able to put up a fight.

But both the Chongqing Bird and Ezu clearly didn't understand Lin Yun's decision.
