Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

Zhou Zeming's eyes looked as if they were about to split at the corners. All his previous calculations had become a complete joke.

"Lin Yun, may you not have a good death!" he roared.

In the next moment, his body was slammed by the Guardian Spirit Stone General and sent flying. Even if the blow didn't kill him, it would have taken half his life.

Lin Yun snorted and gave chase. These people, for their own selfish desires, had shown a complete disregard for the lives of others. The Chen Family Fort tragedy was for a key to the Zhenhuang Hall. Now, the deaths of so many cultivators in the Spirit Realm were for the exact same reason.

If they weren't made to suffer, these people would never learn what they should and shouldn't do.

Just like now. While everyone else wanted to fight over the treasures inside the Zhenhuang Hall, Lin Yun was thinking of something else entirely.

"Lin Yun, don't think you can just stay out of this! If I die, the Constant Sun Sect will not let you go!" Staring at Lin Yun with dead fish eyes, Zhou Zeming ground his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.

But Lin Yun merely dismissed it with a laugh. He walked forward and patted Zhou Zeming's shoulder. "I say, Elder Zhou, what's the point in hating me now? In the end, this was all your choice. If you hadn't come looking for trouble with me, I wouldn't have killed you, right?"

The matter of the Sishui Heavenly Palace was now resolved. The remaining cleanup had nothing to do with him. Looking at the furious Zhou Zeming, Lin Yun had no desire to say much more. Just two simple sentences, then the hand rose and the blade fell.

The sharp Coldflame Sword pierced straight through Zhou Zeming's chest.

"In your next life, I hope you'll be a little smarter. Don't always be so keen on making enemies. Lest you die so senselessly again."

Watching the indignant Zhou Zeming swallow his last breath, Lin Yun silently rose. He glanced at the Guardian Spirit Stone Generals. The creatures were acting normally, but there was a new hint of respect in their eyes when they looked at him.

"These things are really strange. I doubt this has anything to do with you," the Chongqing Bird mused, also finding the guardians' change in attitude odd.

Lin Yun said nothing, just beckoned for Xiao Bai to stand on his shoulder. "Everything is settled. It's time for us to go back."

Passing through the barrier of the Sishui Heavenly Palace, the moment his cultivation returned to normal, Lin Yun immediately felt his power surge. He had broken through directly to the third stage of the Sky-Soaring Realm.

"A breakthrough?" Lin Yun murmured, looking at his hands. It was a bit unexpected.

At this moment, outside the Sishui Heavenly Palace, no one yet knew what had happened inside. The aboriginals of the Void Heavenly Palace had launched several attacks but had been forcefully repelled. However, the disciples left guarding the area had not fared well either, so there were almost no eyes on this area of the palace now.

Lin Yun got out without much effort. Then, he immediately recited an incantation in his mind. Taking the Panlong Cauldron would be the final mark of his complete success.

The moment he finished the incantation, he felt a mysterious connection to the Panlong Cauldron. It was actually working! He had to admit, Ezu was truly formidable.

Inside the Sishui Heavenly Palace, the righteous and evil factions had completely abandoned their original stances and were working together to fight Chentian. But unfortunately, as the apex existence of the entire palace, how could it possibly be an enemy they could defeat? The battle was becoming more and more bewildering.

But just as everyone thought there was still a glimmer of hope, the Panlong Cauldron vanished.

The first to notice was Gu Xiande. "What's going on? The Panlong Cauldron was perfectly fine right there a moment ago! How did it just disappear?" He was completely dumbfounded.

Ancestor Xuemi was also slow on the uptake. The Panlong Cauldron was gone. What was the point of them fighting here for so long?

Oddly enough, Chentian showed no particular reaction to seeing the treasure it guarded disappear. It was as if… it had known this would happen all along.

While the two leaders were suspecting each other, Chentian attacked once more.

Ancestor Xuemi said, "No matter what, this creature is our biggest problem right now. Let's deal with it first. The Panlong Cauldron must still be somewhere in the Sishui Heavenly Palace."

They would never have imagined that the Panlong Cauldron they were so fixated on had already left the Sishui Heavenly Palace and was now in Lin Yun's hands.

After successfully snatching the cauldron, Lin Yun wasted no time. While everyone's attention was still on the aboriginals, he had already made his way back into the main Spirit Realm. He had already arranged a rendezvous point with Zhou Damao.

When the two met, the solemn expression on Zhou Damao's face vanished. He burst out laughing. "Junior Brother Lin, you're finally out!"

This trip had taken far too long. So long, in fact, that many had thought Lin Yun's life was in danger. After all, that was the perilous Sishui Heavenly Palace. Although Lin Yun had spoken of it lightly before, when the time actually came, who could say for sure what would happen?

Lin Yun just smiled. "You were worried, Senior Brother. I'm fine. I ran into some trouble this time, but thankfully, I managed to turn danger into safety in the end. See? Am I not perfectly fine?" He spread his arms and spun in a circle.

Zhou Damao clapped him happily on the shoulder. "You're right! Not only are you uninjured, you're even stronger!"

Sky-Soaring Realm, Stage 3. If Jiang Zhengqing knew about this, he would be blossoming with joy. Their Beast Taming Sect had truly hit the jackpot this time.

"Alright, let's not talk here. It's still dangerous inside the Spirit Realm. Let's leave first!"

The two then followed their previous route and left the Spirit Realm.

At the main encampment on Nether Cave Mountain, besides the Marvelous Sound Sect and the Beast Taming Sect, there were few people left. The Flowing Cloud Sect, for their part, had mobilized many of their elites.

When Jiang Zhengqing heard what had happened inside the Sishui Heavenly Palace, his expression also grew grave. "So, they succeeded. The Crimson Ghost Sect's actions at Chen Family Fort… that was also to get a key to the Zhenhuang Hall?" He hadn't expected Lin Yun to be dragged into so many troublesome affairs.

Inside the tent, the faces of the several elders were grim.

Ning Changkong spoke up. "Sect Master, I believe this matter is no longer something we can resolve on our own. If the true Zhenhuang Hall appears, the entire cultivation world will be finished with it. At this time, should we go to…"

Before Ning Changkong could finish, Jiang Zhengqing cut him off. "There's no need to wait for the final results from the Spirit Realm. The price the Crimson Ghost Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect have paid this time is too great. They will definitely hold Lin Yun accountable. We are leaving this place first."

Jiang Zhengqing had no intention of staying here to wait for the outcome. In any case, a great battle was now unavoidable. But he wasn't particularly worried. They might not be able to win in another place, but if the fight was at the Beast Taming Sect, he, Jiang Zhengqing, was confident that nothing would change, even if all the sects allied with the Flowing Cloud Sect came knocking.

His words, however, came as a great surprise to the others.
