Choice (two chapters in one)

"What on earth is going on at Great Night Lake? I only shone a Lesser Yin Spell Light, and those Yang Family disciples immediately accused me of being from the Azure Ram Temple, and even tried to attack me."

"Does a Yang Houjia breaking through to the Great True Person level give his descendants such unwise confidence?"

Li Fuchan vaguely felt that this matter was inextricably linked to Azure Ram Temple.

While the conflict in the Northern Lands continues, unrest is also brewing in the South of the Yangtze.

"It must have been done by the Tribulation Qi!"

Looking at the densely packed images of Tribulation Qi deep within his consciousness, still in a state of chaos, Li Fuchan couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to hide, but something must have happened at Azure Ram Temple and Pivot Court.

As he was pondering this, another streak of light blocked his path.

Li Fuchan looked up and frowned.

The newcomer was a member of the Yang Family. His aura was radiating outwards, clearly indicating that he was an Outer Scenery cultivator.

The man reeked of blood, and even without the "Li Thunder" technique, Li Fuchan could tell that he had probably Blood-Consuming Cultivation and cannibalism for a long time.

However, without the "Li Thunder Restraint" Coercion by Li Thunder into forcibly killing such a powerful Evil Spirit, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble. He could now handle the situation more calmly, deciding whether to stay or leave. To his surprise, the faintly flowing azure-gold color around this person was actually "Wandering Gold."

It was not unusual for the Yang Family to cultivate "Wandering Gold," but he did not expect that someone had already cultivated "Wandering Gold" to the point of reaching the Outer Scenery. What he did not expect was that this person would dare to walk so swaggeringly on Great Night Lake and even block his way.

Although the Yang Family has Great True Person in charge, they don't have absolute power over this Lake.

Everyone knows that the Yang Family possesses a Divine Ability Treasure, and that Yang Family will definitely be secretly cultivating "Wandering Gold" in order to plot the Purple Mansion. Moreover, with the help of that Divine Ability Treasure, the possibility of achieving the Purple Mansion is not nonexistent.

It is precisely because of this that those powerful Aristocratic Clan who are on par with the Yang Family will not stand idly by and watch the Yang Family get so close to the Purple Mansion. If they see this "Wandering Gold" cultivator who has already broken through to the Outer Scenery, they will do whatever it takes to curse him to death.

They didn't even have time to hide, yet they brazenly jumped out and appeared before everyone; it's truly...

The "Wandering Gold" cultivator sized him up and down, then coldly demanded, "Who are you, and why are you trespassing on Great Night Lake?"

Li Fuchan had no intention of getting entangled with him. With a flick of her magical Law Power, she prepared to fly away. The "Wandering Gold" cultivator sneered, "A mere trick."

The azure-gold Spell Light in his palm suddenly intensified, sweeping down upon the gust of wind he had summoned.

Li Fuchan used to ride the wind freely and never deliberately restrained its force. Therefore, as soon as the azure-gold Spell Light touched the wind, the wind broke free on its own as if it were a living thing, leaving him standing there.

Li Fuchan paused, a look of astonishment crossing his face. He wasn't surprised that this person could escape his attack; what surprised him was that a mere cultivator who had just entered the Outer Scenery had the audacity to take the initiative and was about to trample him underfoot.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "This Yang Aspect is probably not simple either." Li Fuchan suppressed his astonishment at the matter. The situation was unclear at the moment, so he did not intend to get entangled with him.

But the "Wandering Gold" cultivator wouldn't let it go. He stepped in front of them again, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips, his tone growing increasingly sarcastic. "What, is this all the people of Azure Ram Temple are capable of? Don't they even have the courage to face me head-on? Is this all you've got to threaten my 'Wandering Gold' sect with your words?"

He sized Li Fuchan up and down, his eyes practically radiating sarcasm. "He's quite fair-skinned, but is he just a pretty boy who knows nothing but striking poses and making gestures?"

The Yang Family member behind him also burst into laughter. When the "Wandering Gold" cultivator saw Li Fuchan avoid him like this, he thought he was just a paper tiger. After all, they were both at the Outer Scenery, but the other party was only at the Lesser Completion stage, while he had been at the Outer Scenery for more than half a year.

He assumed Li Fuchan was afraid of him, so he became even more aggressive, taking a step forward, his body writhing with azure-gold Spell Light, his voice shrill and sharp. "Just now, those few good-for-nothing juniors stopped you, and you turned and ran; now that I'm here, you still want to run. Are all the Lesser Yin of Azure Ram Temple cowards like you? Come on, show me your skills, let me see what's really behind that cold face of yours."

Li Fuchan remained calm and did not respond, but was secretly pondering.

What does it mean to repeatedly threaten to kill "Wandering Gold" cultivators?

Is this what Azure Ram Temple is supposed to do?

Li Fuchan observed the man's demeanor as he spoke. Although he appeared aggressive, there was an inexplicable irritability and excitement about him, as if something had ignited his inner fire, making him somewhat agitated and manic.

A faint, almost imperceptible Illuminating Light shone from between his brows, Soundless illuminating the man.

As he watched, his face darkened completely.

His eyes widened in fear, and a chill ran down his spine. He had long sensed something was off about these people; something strange about them was evident in everything they did.

It turns out that Divine Ability (a legendary figure) caught them all.

He hadn't dared to think this way before, not believing that the Purple Mansion Lord would suddenly manipulate the Destiny of so many people just to cause them to clash with him.

Could it be that my true nature has been exposed?

The thought had barely formed when Li Fuchan extinguished it.

How could his true nature be seen through?

Is it the Heaven of Separation? The Jade Pivot Palace? Or perhaps the Tribulation Qi?

If these things can be seen through, what awaits him won't be some Aperture Opening or Outer Scenery realm cultivators; at that time, more than a handful of powerful figures will surely break through the Unseen to capture him.

"Since it wasn't my fault, then it must be what this person mentioned earlier: the killing of the 'Wandering Gold' cultivator."

"Does Azure Ram Temple Lower Cultivator 'Wandering Gold' cultivation method under the rule of the Shasha?"

This conjecture is undoubtedly the most reasonable at present, and it has been personally confirmed.

The Yang Family is, after all, under the jurisdiction of the Pivot Court. The Azure Ram Temple claims it wants to intimidate and kill "Wandering Gold" cultivators. If it were to be so domineering and arrogant as to break into the Pivot Court's territory to kill "Wandering Gold" cultivators from other Aristocratic Clan, the Pivot Court would certainly not agree. At that point, it would not just be a matter for the Yang Family, but a clash between two Immortal Sect.

To speculate even more boldly, this matter was originally a contest between two Immortal Sect, with Great Night Lake and the Yang Family merely becoming the battleground.

However, the current situation seems very much like the Purple Mansion Lord of the Pivot Court is controlling and manipulating the Destiny of these Yang Family members.

In short, if you see someone practicing Lesser Yin, they are from the Azure Ram Temple. If you see someone from the Azure Ram Temple, go and fight them. Whether you can win or not is another matter, just fight them.

Li Fuchan began to quickly assess his current situation.

Why did Azure Ram Temple suddenly decide to suppress and kill the "Wandering Gold" cultivators under its jurisdiction, even interfering with the Yang Family outside its own territory, and even risking war with Pivot Court, prompting the Purple Mansion Lord to personally intervene and affecting the Destiny of so many people?

This matter is of no importance to Li Fuchan at the moment.

The most important thing for him was to make sure that he had stumbled in unintentionally, and not that he had been tricked by someone.

They mobilized Kim Myung-il and others to conduct a self-examination.

To ensure that his idea of going to South of the Yangtze was not a sudden thought, but rather based on reason and logic.

The fact that "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" didn't react at all relieved him.

The Register Qi ensured he wouldn't be affected by the Purple Mansion Lord's Divine Ability power of "fishing for life."

Aside from being tricked by "Muffled Crow in Ambush" not long ago while Overseas, "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" has never disappointed him.

"Even a ruler as high and mighty as the Purple Mansion Lord cannot possibly monitor every move on Great Night Lake at all times. If he were to discover that a mere outsider, Lesser Yin, had entered Great Night Lake, the effects of his 'Divine Ability -Fishing' technique would likely already be upon me. Right now, 'Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada' hasn't made any unusual moves, so I must seize this opportunity and leave quickly."

Now that Li Fuchan has a clean record, he wouldn't be afraid even if he were seen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Azure Ram Temple after arriving in South of the Yangtze.

But the situation is clearly not right now; it seems that Azure Ram Temple and Pivot Court are about to go to war.

The Yang Family has already become a key player in the Pivot Court.

The Azure Ram Temple hasn't made its move yet. If they accidentally discover a foreign cultivator like him who practices Lesser Yin, has not only mastered Sword Qi but also has a clean background, they might just use a Divine Ability to influence him.

After all, it's better to use an outsider like him than to waste the disciples of one's own sect on their deaths; one won't feel sorry for him if he dies.

He could naturally use "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" to counteract the influence of Divine Ability, but this time, the Purple Mansion Lord was secretly controlling the situation had clearly cultivated the Fate Divine Ability.

Other Divine Ability can influence Destiny. If one has a firm and cautious heart, one can be considered a hero among men. Not everyone can avoid them.

But if he can ignore even the Fate Divine Ability life-fishing techniques, wouldn't that be a clear indication to those above that he has a problem?

He would then have only two choices. The first was to use "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" to counteract the effects of the Divine Ability to fish for fate, and then pretend to have been caught and work for the Purple Mansion Lord according to the meaning of the influence. The second was to continue to run away and hide.

He was reluctant to do either of these things.

Therefore, it is best to leave as soon as possible and not get involved.

Just as he made up his mind to leave, he saw the face of the "Wandering Gold" cultivator in front of him, and another thought arose in his mind.

"Perhaps the move for Azure Ram Temple has already been made."

Isn't this the person right in front of me?

If it were someone from the Pivot Court, whether it was to oppose the Azure Ram Temple or because "Wandering Gold" was truly extremely important, they would be unlikely to let Yang Family, a "Wandering Gold" cultivator who had already broken through to the Outer Scenery, wander around aimlessly. They would be hiding him away as much as possible.

But now this person has not only run into his hands, but also revealed in his words that Azure Ram Temple intends to kill the "Wandering Gold" cultivator, making him aware of what Azure Ram Temple is planning to do.

It is true that his arrival in South of the Yangtze was purely by fortuitous opportunity, but it is also likely that he had already caught the eye of a certain Purple Mansion Lord Azure Ram Temple.

But the effects of his Divine Ability to fish for fate did not take hold; all of this seemed to be forcing him to make a choice.

Choose...

For Lower Cultivator, making a choice is an absolute luxury. After all, the Purple Mansion Lord is high above, and cultivators and mortals are no different; they are merely cattle and sheep under the control of Divine Ability.

Lower Cultivator, even one's own thoughts may not be one's own, yet in such a world, there is Purple Mansion Lord who patiently lets him make a choice.

He was quite certain that if he left now, he could avoid this trouble; no one was forcing him.

At this moment, the phrase "All Lesser Yin under Heaven are one family" inexplicably came to Li Fuchan's mind.

He murmured to himself, "It's not just about shouting slogans after all."

Li Fuchan thought about all this, but it all happened in the blink of an eye. The cultivator who practiced "Wandering Gold" had already made a fierce attack on him.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

"The Ancestor always forbids me from coming out, always suppressing my true nature. Non-Self this sudden impulse, how could I have such a good opportunity to fight against someone of the same realm? Moreover, this person is probably the dumbest and most foolish one in Azure Ram Temple. Once I cut off his head and personally deliver it to the Ancestor, the Ancestor will naturally understand my abilities."

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, he suddenly saw a vertical eye bloom between Li Fuchan's brows. The eye had no pupil, only a surging Silvery White Illuminating Light.

What is that?

No one answered his question. His consciousness was gradually fading away. The last image was of Li Fuchan unleashing a Sword Qi that pierced through his heart.

Looking at the person who had fallen before him, Li Fuchan remained expressionless. Just a pitiful person whose very thoughts had been altered.

Regardless of the intentions of the Purple Mansion Purple Mansion Lord of Azure Ram Temple, since he has given her a choice, Li Fuchan has no right to refuse.

After all, the Purple Mansion Lord can give it, but you can't actually choose it.

The best outcome now is that the Purple Mansion Lord of Azure Ram Temple is indeed close to cultivators of the Lesser Yin Dao, so he did not use his Divine Ability to directly lure him in. Instead, he gently gave him an opportunity to make a choice as if he could make his own decision, making him appear less passive.

Just then, the Yang Family members that Li Fuchan had encountered when he first entered Great Night Lake also came looking for him.

"Oh, so he's here."

He also killed Xi Yuan's cousin.

"You thieving cultivator, return my brother's life! Everyone, follow me and kill him to avenge my brother Xi Yuan!"

"But he's an Outer Scenery cultivator."

"Hmph, since you all dare not, then I will go myself."

As he charged confidently toward Li Fuchan, someone exclaimed, "What a magnificent Xi Hong!"

"Look, Xi Hong is on the move!" "Xi Hong is going to win!"

"Xi Hong was killed."

Li Fuchan glanced back at them, then immediately rode the wind and disappeared into the horizon.

He'd already given his pledge of allegiance; he had no intention of staying here any longer.
