Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

Looking at Ouyang Chun at that moment, Lin Yun had a bad premonition. He knew that, given the man's character, he would likely never let them just leave.

But what Lin Yun knew, He Changxu, who was also there, knew as well. Yet, at this moment, He Changxu had no intention of stopping him.

"Do you really think you can turn this around?" He Changxu said with a laugh. "From the moment you sealed me here, I have been waiting for this day. You didn't think everything I did was meaningless, did you?"

But Ouyang Chun was long past the point of considering such things.

"Things have already come to this. Don't think I have anything more to say to you. Let's all die together!"

Ouyang Chun laughed maniacally and flung his arms out. From his hands, he threw a small, black, circular stone, which fit perfectly into a mechanism on the wall. What followed was a violent shaking of the entire stone chamber.

He Changxu glanced at Lin Yun and said, "Go, quickly."

Lin Yun didn't hesitate for a second. The moment he knew Ouyang Chun had no intention of letting him go, he turned and ran.

What a joke. Wasting even a single second at a time like this would be irresponsible. With Lin Yun's speed, escaping was not a problem.

"Rest assured, Senior! This junior will definitely do what he promised!" Lin Yun shouted back. With a wave of his hand, he collected the Soul-Returning Wood as well. "Xiao Bai, let's go!"

He Changxu froze for a moment, then shook his head, though he didn't say anything. At the brink of life and death, and this kid still doesn't forget about treasures?

Lin Yun, in contrast, didn't feel he had done anything wrong. It wasn't like leaving it here would do any good. He might as well take it and use it himself.

In that moment, he used every ounce of strength he possessed. The ground trembled. The already narrow stone chamber began to look like the throat of a giant beast. It was pitch black ahead, without a single speck of light. Lin Yun could only run based on his memory of the route, hoping they could leave this place before everything collapsed.

"You boy are a real jinx. No matter where you go, you stir up a heap of trouble," Ezu grumbled. "This time, you've probably turned the entire cultivation world into a pool of muddy water." Having underestimated Lin Yun's abilities before and paid the price, he was now quick to complain.

Lin Yun didn't get angry, just smiled. It was, after all, the truth. Since truly stepping onto the path of cultivation, he had caused no small amount of trouble. But every time, he had managed to turn danger into safety. This time, Lin Yun didn't believe he would fail here either.

"Hehe, this was a huge win. Not only did I get the Soul-Returning Wood, but I also took care of that major threat, Ouyang Chun." For Lin Yun, the next step was to leave the Sishui Heavenly Palace. Once he was out of the Spirit Realm, he would be truly safe.

"To cause this much trouble and still get away alive, you're quite impressive, kid," the Chongqing Bird remarked.

Lin Yun didn't argue, just kept running with all his might. The strong physique he had honed through his daily training was finally proving its worth. Before long, they finally saw the exit. He had been expecting more trouble, but to his surprise, the escape was a close call but ultimately without incident.

Bursting out of the secret passage, Lin Yun leaned over, hands on his knees.

The Sishui Heavenly Palace was now a scene of utter chaos.

"Holy shit, they went this hard?" He looked around, appalled. The once magnificent and grand Sishui Heavenly Palace was now more than half destroyed. Ruins of broken walls were everywhere. The corpses of numerous cultivators were strewn about carelessly. It was clear the battle had been incredibly fierce.

Many of these cultivators had treasures on them, and though their cultivation was suppressed, they were still difficult opponents. Yet even so, they had been killed, one by one.

Gu Xiande and Ancestor Xuemi were covered in blood. And standing before them was Chentian, the guardian of the Panlong Cauldron. Its strength was terrifying, especially here in the Sishui Heavenly Palace, where it was practically invincible.

"Hiss… how tragic." Lin Yun grunted, feeling no sympathy. If you wanted to plunder treasure, you should be prepared for the consequences. Besides, the deaths of these people here meant nothing to him.

With no intention of lingering, Lin Yun turned and ran for the outside without a backward glance. But he had not run far when a figure suddenly appeared before him.

"Hmph. Lin Yun, so you were hiding here all along."

Zhou Zeming stared coldly at Lin Yun, his tone dripping with resentment.

Lin Yun frowned. He really didn't want to deal with this man. Has this old man lost his mind? The main battle is still raging like that, shouldn't he be thinking of escaping? Why is he still looking for trouble with me? Do you have nothing better to do?

"Elder Zhou, if you're really that bored, I suggest you go help them deal with that monster back there," Lin Yun said. "I'm just an ordinary disciple. Why must you keep targeting me?"

It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Zhou Zeming's face was contorted with rage. "Hmph, if they had listened to me earlier, none of this would have happened! I knew it! This was all your conspiracy, you little brat!" He was completely certain. Everything that had happened in the Sishui Heavenly Palace must have been intentionally caused by Lin Yun.

"You look harmless to people and animals, but in reality, you are a sinister and cunning little bastard! You may be able to fool others, but don't think you can fool me! I will stop you here today!"

Zhou Zeming acted as if he were an enforcer of justice. But in Lin Yun's eyes, the man was just not very bright.

"Say whatever you want. I can't be bothered to explain it to you. But I'm very busy right now and have no time to waste on you. If you don't want to cause trouble, step aside."

Zhou Zeming's cultivation realm was certainly not low. But in a place like this, Lin Yun hadn't even been afraid of Ouyang Chun. Why would he be afraid of a mere Zhou Zeming?

Seeing Lin Yun's triumphant expression, Zhou Zeming's teeth itched with hatred. "You caused the death of An Shenyu! Do you really think you can just stay out of it?"

Hearing this, Lin Yun finally understood why this old man had been so fixated on him. So, it was because of An Shenyu? But in the end, An Shenyu had only been seeking his own death.

"If that idiot had been obedient, I could have saved his life," Lin Yun said mockingly. "But unfortunately, he seemed to have more confidence in his own abilities."

He wasn't wrong. If An Shenyu had been willing to listen before, none of the subsequent events would have happened. But hearing these words now only made Zhou Zeming more unbearable.

Too much! He's still mocking him!
