Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

Jiang Zhengqing sighed. "Keep a close eye on your junior brother during this time. Have him move around less. As for the matter with the Flowing Cloud Sect, I will think of a solution."

They were, after all, Lin Yun's friends, and they had gotten into this trouble because of him. Although Jiang Zhengqing could choose to ignore it completely, his concern for Lin Yun compelled him to find a way to help.

Zhou Damao nodded. With Lin Yun's personality, once he learned of this, he would most likely charge straight to the Flowing Cloud Sect. When that happened, it would trigger a true, all-out war between the two sects.

After a moment, Jiang Zhengqing suddenly stood up. "As I just said, you watch Lin Yun closely. I am going now to request instructions."

In that instant, it seemed Jiang Zhengqing had made a firm decision. Zhou Damao vaguely understood what it meant and nodded with conviction.

But when Zhou Damao came out from the Great Hall, he was surprised to find Lin Yun's small courtyard completely empty.

A chill ran down his back. For Lin Yun to be gone at a time like this, there was only one possibility.

Zhou Damao quickly rushed to Qi Mountain. To his surprise, Xu Miaoyun seemed to have been waiting for him for some time.

"Senior, where is my junior brother?"

Seeing the expression on Xu Miaoyun's face, Zhou Damao roughly guessed what had happened.

Xu Miaoyun rested her chin in her hands and looked at Zhou Damao with a faint smile. "That little one… he has the exact same personality as that old fellow. Did you really think that just by blockading all the news, he would be able to cultivate in peace? Don't forget, he is a sword cultivator. If his heart cannot be pure, how can he ever become truly strong? So, in truth, he began preparing for this the moment he returned to the sect."

Hearing Xu Miaoyun's words only confirmed Zhou Damao's own thoughts. But at this point, he couldn't make a decision on his own. He could only turn and rush towards the rear mountains.

I hope it's not too late. Junior Brother, you must wait for us.

Zhou Damao did not blame Xu Miaoyun for making trouble. In his eyes, perhaps among all of them, Xu Miaoyun was the one who understood Lin Yun the best.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun had already left the Beast Taming Sect.

The Chongqing Bird spoke, annoyed. "You little brat, you were safe within the Beast Taming Sect. But once you leave, countless people will be watching your every move, waiting for you to die. That Gu Xiande fellow only released a piece of news. No one knows if it's true or false. Are you really going to believe it?"

There was a tone of "hating iron for not becoming steel" in the bird's voice. After experiencing such a great opportunity, Lin Yun should be consolidating his gains and making himself stronger. In this world, only with a strong fist do you have the qualifications to bargain with others. Who would have thought Lin Yun would lack such awareness?

"If I had stayed in the Beast Taming Sect, I could indeed improve my strength," Lin Yun said, looking up at the distant horizon. "But if I did, the friends I hold dear would die."

He didn't understand why so many people detested him. But none of that mattered anymore. If Gu Xiande thought he could kill him with a method like this, then he was welcome to try.

"But you are only one person. Even if you reach the Flowing Cloud Sect, do you really think you can break through their mountain gate all by yourself?" The Chongqing Bird still didn't understand his thinking. No matter how you looked at it, the Flowing Cloud Sect was the strongest of the Four Great Sects. What Lin Yun was doing now was like striking a stone with an egg.

"Even if I cannot, I will let the world see the true face of the Flowing Cloud Sect," Lin Yun sneered. He knew that the decision he was making now was incredibly impulsive. But to him, it was meaningful. Even if he were to die, he would have no regrets.

At the same time, news of this was spreading throughout the entire cultivation world.

Would Lin Yun take the bait laid by Gu Xiande's scheme?

The Dungeons of the Flowing Cloud Sect

Bai Zhuqing's four limbs were nailed to a wall. His body was covered in wounds. The few disciples standing before him were panting heavily.

"I say, Bai Zhuqing, it's already come to this. Are you still going to speak for that man? All you have to do is answer according to our demands, and you can remain in the sect. Isn't that a good thing?"

Looking at the battered Bai Zhuqing, they couldn't imagine how, after suffering so much pain and torture, he could still hold on to his beliefs, completely unwilling to admit that Lin Yun was a traitor.

Hearing their words, Bai Zhuqing threw his head back and laughed, then spat a mouthful of phlegm. "With idiots like you, how could you possibly understand such things? I've said it before. Lin Yun would never betray the Flowing Cloud Sect. Even if there is a conflict between them now, it is because the Flowing Cloud Sect framed him first."

Though he had been tortured for so long, Bai Zhuqing's eyes were still shining brightly.

The two disciples sneered. "Let me guess, you don't actually think Lin Yun will come to save you, do you? Think about it. You've been locked up here for so long, and Lin Yun has never once come to see you. But if that guy really dares to come to our sect, this place will become his grave."

Bai Zhuqing just smiled casually. He was not afraid of death. As for whether Lin Yun came to save him, that was also irrelevant. For Bai Zhuqing, all he needed to do was live by his own code.

Green Dawn Peak

Shangguan Wan looked at Hong Xiu. "Ancestor, I think you should personally step in on this matter. If Lin Yun is still alive, this will only make things more tense. That child's strength is already so terrifying; his future prospects are limitless. Our Flowing Cloud Sect absolutely cannot afford to make an enemy of such a genius."

There was still a pleading tone in Shangguan Wan's voice as she spoke.

But Hong Xiu just snorted coldly. "There was a time when I was indeed grateful to that boy. If not for him, my own cultivation would not have recovered so much. He did indeed bring me a great opportunity, but the account between us is already settled."

Hong Xiu's tone was resolute. As for what Shangguan Wan said about Lin Yun attacking them, she simply didn't believe it. With that boy's strength, he couldn't possibly stir up any great winds and waves. Would the Beast Taming Sect really go so mad for a single personal disciple?

Seeing the expression on Hong Xiu's face, Shangguan Wan's heart filled with disappointment. She had said so much, but in the end, she had changed nothing. Whether it was Hong Xiu or Gu Xiande, they were both unable to extricate themselves from their own obsessions.

And the storm brought on by Lin Yun was about to sweep over them all.
