Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

When Lin Yun emerged from his tent, he found many people still gathered there, every one of them with a look of eager anticipation on their face.

Looking at them, Lin Yun just shook his head inwardly. What a bunch of idiots. From their expressions, he knew they all thought they had a chance to find some incredible treasure in the Sisui Heavenly Palace. But only Lin Yun knew that the probability of that was close to zero. With their meager abilities, they thought they could snatch treasure from the hands of others? They were dreaming.

Gu Xiande soon led Lin Yun to the main encampment.

"Sect Master Gu, it seems your people are all ready." Facing Gu Xiande, Lin Yun remained perfectly calm. This wasn't the first or second day he had dealt with an old fox like this. He certainly wouldn't be intimidated now.

Gu Xiande smiled. "The Flowing Cloud Sect, along with the other sects, are all prepared. If you can truly lead us out of the Sisui Heavenly Palace alive, the past enmity between us will be written off."

Xiao Pingtian was a genius he had personally groomed, only to be killed by Lin Yun. This was not a grudge that could be easily forgotten. But he also knew that Lin Yun was now the crucial key. If he could really lead them out of the palace alive this time, forgetting what happened before wasn't out of the question.

Lin Yun, for his part, did feel a flicker of emotion upon hearing that Xiao Pingtian was dead. He had, after all, been the renowned Sword-Bearer of the Flowing Cloud Sect. To think he would meet such a miserable end. Knowing the methods of the Crimson Ghost Sect, Xiao Pingtian had surely been tortured before his death.

The righteous and evil factions had temporarily ceased their infighting for the sake of the Sisui Heavenly Palace. Both sides had left many powerful experts outside to stand guard, wary of the native inhabitants of this world. After their previous battles, they all understood that this place was not as safe as they had thought.

Elsewhere, Lin Yun followed Gu Xiande and the others, arriving once again before the Sisui Heavenly Palace.

Gazing at the magnificent and majestic palace, Lin Yun said flatly, "This place is filled with dangers. If you insist on going in, you'd best be mentally prepared. Not everything can be easily handled."

Gu Xiande just smiled. "That is of no concern."

To be honest, Lin Yun was also surprised. For a person of Gu Xiande's status to personally enter the Sisui Heavenly Palace was truly hard to believe. But having reached this point, there was nothing more to be said. Lin Yun was still very confident in himself. These cultivators rarely had contact with the secular world. Once they lost their cultivation, most of them were probably weaker than an ordinary person.

"It's just one Sisui Heavenly Palace. We even managed to beat back the native inhabitants of the Void Heavenly Palace," Zhou Zeming scoffed. "Lin Yun, you'd better not try to play any tricks here. Otherwise, it will bring you absolutely no good." He had a very low opinion of Lin Yun. A mere Sky-Soaring Realm boy shamelessly boasting that he could lead them out of the Sisui Heavenly Palace alive? What a joke. Zhou Zeming had heard many jokes in his life, but this was, without a doubt, the biggest one yet.

Gu Xiande just glanced at him coolly and said, "The Sisui Heavenly Palace is not as simple as you think. We cannot afford to lower our guard this time, lest we invite even greater trouble." He didn't know what these people would face next, but he knew this place was more troublesome than they imagined. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to come here himself.

Zhou Zeming said nothing after hearing this, but in his heart, he remained unconvinced. Others might not know what to do, but he certainly did.

Lin Yun took in everyone's expressions. They might all look powerful and confident now, but once they were inside, they would understand their true situation. He couldn't be bothered to argue the point further.

The large contingent of people began to slowly enter the Sisui Heavenly Palace. To avoid immediate conflict, the Crimson Ghost Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect, along with their respective allies, took separate paths. As for who would obtain the final Wuyang Jade, that would depend on their own abilities.

Lin Yun, however, was betting on the Crimson Ghost Sect. Since they had been preparing for so long, they clearly had some understanding of the problems within the palace. This was not good news for the Flowing Cloud Sect.

A moment ago, Zhou Zeming had been speaking with such arrogance. But the instant they entered the Sisui Heavenly Palace, the rules of this place activated, and the power in their bodies vanished completely.

"What's going on? Why does it feel like my cultivation has been sealed?" Zhou Zeming's face was grim.

He was not alone. Many others had keenly sensed the change in themselves. Including Gu Xiande.

Throughout this process, Lin Yun watched their expressions one by one. The only person who remained as calm as he was, was Ouyang Chun, who stood there not revealing the slightest hint of his thoughts. This further solidified Lin Yun's opinion: this man was absolutely not an easy opponent. Anyone else would be panicked when facing such a danger, but Ouyang Chun was so relaxed. Something was not right.

Lin Yun was calm because of his pure sword cultivator's physique. Even without his cultivation, few could contend with his physical strength. But for Ouyang Chun to be so composed meant he surely had some other method up his sleeve.

Zhou Zeming looked around and, seeing that everyone was in the same state, immediately glared at Lin Yun. "You brat, you set a trap for us! You knew there was a restrictive rule here, but you never warned us!" He was furious. Looking at Lin Yun, he was sure the boy had come prepared.

Lin Yun just smiled. "My dear sirs, what are you so anxious about? I told you before we came in that many things here would not be easy to handle. Suppressing your cultivation is just one of them. None of you asked me to explain everything in detail, did you? Weren't you all in a great hurry to get in?" He had an expression of perfect innocence.

This only made Zhou Zeming angrier.

But just then, Gu Xiande patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Since Lin Yun brought us in, he can naturally lead us out safely. Otherwise, he will find out what the consequences are." As he spoke, he smiled placidly at Lin Yun.

Most of the people here were allies of the Flowing Cloud Sect, so he didn't have to worry about them betraying him.

Shangguan Wan, on the other hand, interjected, "That's right. The most pressing matter right now is not to assign blame, but to think about how to protect ourselves. The rules here are likely meant to protect something. This is naturally very disadvantageous for us."

She was smart. The reason their cultivation was taken away was to ensure that the guardians of this place possessed absolute dominance.
