Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

At that moment, Gu Xiande approached Ouyang Chun.

"This time, we must rely on you to help us. I never expected the Sishui Heavenly Palace to have such a restrictive ward," he said, bowing slightly, his expression one of utmost respect. He even managed to plaster a smile on his face.

Hearing Gu Xiande's words, Ouyang Chun just sneered. "I thought you had some special method of your own. To think you need me to personally act on such a trivial matter." He snorted with annoyance, then glanced at Lin Yun. "Isn't that boy quite familiar with this place? Just follow him. And rest assured, although I did not come here with the intention of seizing the Wuyang Jade, now that things have come to this, I will go with you."

He knew that no matter how displeased he was, there was no other good option now. He could only help Gu Xiande clean up this mess. But they absolutely could not allow Lin Yun to live. This young man was already so difficult to handle at the Sky-Soaring Realm; it was hard to imagine what a threat he would become once he fully matured.

With Ouyang Chun's guarantee, Gu Xiande visibly relaxed.

They were currently standing at the entrance to a grand hall. Nearly two hundred people from the various prestigious and righteous sects had gathered, among them over thirty Myriad Law Realm experts. This should have been an incredibly powerful fighting force. But unfortunately, all of their cultivation had now been sealed. The remaining two hundred-plus people were naturally filled with anxiety about their current predicament.

With Ouyang Chun's backing, Gu Xiande stepped forward. "Everyone, do not panic. Since this is a grotto-heaven and a blessed land, it is only natural for there to be some restrictive wards. We need only prepare ourselves."

Zhen Pingqing spoke up. "Sect Master Gu, I have just spoken privately with my disciples. Although they have lost their cultivation, some of them can still barely activate their treasures. And those who have always had strong physiques still possess a certain degree of combat strength."

Master Wangchen of the Xuan-Kun Palace chimed in, "Though our cultivation is gone, the residual Yuan Qi within our treasures is still sufficient for the battles to come. It seems the so-called ward in this place is not so powerful after all."

Hearing their conversation, the crowd gradually calmed down. Every cultivator had at least a few treasures on their person. As long as they had their treasures, they could surely overcome this difficult situation. The group, which had been so tense moments before, began to relax.

Lin Yun, in contrast, wore a grave expression. Everyone thought this matter could be easily resolved. But the truth was, a terrifying aura was beginning to permeate the air. He had been here before, but he hadn't lingered long in the Sishui Heavenly Palace. He knew just how troublesome this place could be.

"Everyone, if there are no other issues, let's get moving," Lin Yun urged.

Hearing his words, several of the sect masters frowned. Having been tricked by Lin Yun once before, they were now beginning to doubt his motives. Only Gu Xiande maintained his previous attitude.

"While this boy might deceive us in small matters," he thought, "he wouldn't dare to do anything on a critical issue. If we die, he won't have a good end either." In such a dangerous place, how strong could a mere Sky-Soaring Realm Lin Yun be? Besides, he knew that the number of treasures Lin Yun possessed was likely pitifully small. To survive in such a dangerous environment, his only choice was to cooperate with them honestly.

The group began to move deeper into the palace. It had to be said, the Sishui Heavenly Palace was incomparably vast. After walking a short distance from the main gate, they saw a massive Heavenly Gate. Passing through it was the only way to truly enter the palace grounds. The area around this gate was shrouded in a mysterious mist, and on either side stood two enormous, ferocious-faced statues.

As the first few disciples prepared to enter, the statues suddenly came to life. With a swing of their weapons, they slashed down. One of the disciples was killed instantly, unable to react at all. The other was scared so badly he nearly wet himself.

"The… the statues are alive!" his voice trembled. It was likely that in all his life as a cultivator, he had never seen such a thing.

The others scrambled to back away, terrified of being implicated. But then a strange thing happened. After that one attack, the statues returned to their calm, inanimate state, as if nothing had ever happened.

Everyone looked at each other, none daring to step forward.

Gu Xiande looked at Lin Yun. "Didn't you say you've been here before? Good. You lead the way."

Lin Yun swallowed hard. He looked at the disciple who had been smashed into meat paste, then slowly opened his panel.

[Name]: Lin Yun

[Realm]: Sky-Soaring Realm - Stage 1

[Destiny Template]: Mediocre (White)

[Attributes]: Immaculate Sword Physique (Purple), Asura (Purple), Pure Sword Heart (Blue) [Fate]: During a fierce battle at the Flowing Cloud Sect, he is ultimately defeated by his opponent on the spot.

[Recent Turning Point]: At the Sishui Heavenly Palace's South Life Gate, he is blocked by the Spirit-Guarding Stone Generals. He is forced by Gu Xiande to lead the way, but the Stone Generals do not attack and seem to submit to you.

What's this? Is this another great opportunity for me? Lin Yun's eyes widened. He never expected these Spirit-Guarding Stone Generals wouldn't attack him. He had been a little worried before, but now, that concern was completely gone. He knew the power of his panel. He was no longer nervous.

"Let me go," he said. After speaking, he swaggered to the front.

The others just stood there, watching cautiously, not daring to say a word. Even if Lin Yun was at the Sky-Soaring Realm, a single blow from one of those Stone Generals would still mean certain death.

Just when everyone thought Lin Yun was doomed, they were stunned to find that the Spirit-Guarding Stone Generals didn't move at all.

"What's going on? Those statues were just attacking people, why are they acting so differently now?"

"Could it be that there's something special about this kid?"

The crowd looked at each other, all of them suspicious of what they were seeing. Had Lin Yun not told them something?

"Lin Yun, can you explain why the statues are not attacking you?" Gu Xiande demanded. A disciple had died, after all. He needed to get to the bottom of this.

Lin Yun just shook his head. He wished he knew. He had glanced at the Stone Generals earlier, originally intending to use them to block the group behind him. But after he saw Ouyang Chun, he had immediately dismissed the thought. It was best to save such trump cards for later.
