Chapter 10

In front of Lin Qing was a rugged mountain path strewn with peculiar rocks.

On the mountain path, more than a dozen corpses lay haphazardly.

Although Lin Qing had killed before, seeing so many bodies still sent a chill through his heart.

The corpses were grotesque, with their bellies split open and intestines spilling out. Some even had their brains shattered and livers exposed, clearly killed by a force or skill far beyond that of an ordinary person!

"Where am I?"

"You will be in great danger once the plot begins! The space has granted you a [Rescue Firework] and a one-time use [60-Second Invincibility Scroll]. You may use them at an appropriate time."

A cold, piercing voice sounded.

Immediately, he found a firework and a yellow scroll in his hand.

[Rescue Firework]: When the six major sects besiege Bright Peak, the blue rescue firework of the Wudang Sect can be seen within a 20-mile radius. Any of the six major sects will come to your aid, but the time it takes will depend on the distance.

[60-Second Invincibility Scroll]: Can be used by tearing it. However, it is limited to "today, this person, one use only."

Lin Qing focused and saw three people standing not far from him, wearing servant hats and robes, with prominent temples, indicating they were masters of both internal and external martial arts. They were dressed as servants, each holding a single saber, with bloodshot eyes that looked at him like hungry wolves, eager to tear him apart.

Behind them were six men in yellow robes, each embroidered with a red flame.

Lin Qing was startled.

"The introduction said I would be transmigrated into Song Qingshu's body. These guys, along with this battlefield situation, are clearly... the first appearance of Song Qingshu... when the Wudang Sect was on the way to besiege Bright Peak and was in a fierce battle with the Ming Cult members!"

He was shocked and instantly understood what the space meant by being in great danger.

The three servants in servant attire were the servants of White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, named Yin Wufu, Yin Wuyuan, and Yin Wushou.

He was leading a small Wudang team on a mission to coordinate with the six major sects, heading towards the six Wudang heroes and the Emei Sect, when they were ambushed by Yin Tianzheng's three servants and the Earth Flag, resulting in the deaths of several Wudang members. He was now the only one left standing.

In the plot, Song Qingshu made a stunning first appearance, fighting three opponents at once without showing any signs of defeat.

But Lin Qing, the impostor, was completely different.

He had no martial arts skills, and his physical condition was no different from an ordinary person. Even a common Ming Cult soldier could beat him to a pulp!

The rescue firework could be seen within 20 miles, so it might take a long time for help to arrive!

The invincibility scroll was only effective once and for 60 seconds!

And the weapon he obtained from Fang Lingcheng could only be used twice and was greatly suppressed in this world, making it impossible to kill the three servants!

What should he do?

What should he do?

Lin Qing watched helplessly as the protective barrier, like a soap bubble in the sunlight, disappeared instantly. Yin Wufu, Yin Wuyuan, and Yin Wushou immediately pounced like three enraged bulldogs, cursing and waving their sabers.

Should he immediately launch the firework, tear the scroll, and flee? Or should he humbly bow and smile at these guys?

In an instant, a bold idea flashed through Lin Qing's mind, and he shouted, "Stop!"

He thought clearly.

According to Lady Li, the space constantly tests adventurers.

The test began from the moment the plot started!

Every choice would affect the subsequent plot.

The space gave him a 60-second invincibility scroll, but it was definitely a test!

The first test by the space.

If it wasn't a test, why give him 60 seconds of invincibility? Why not start the plot with him next to Yin Li Ting, which would be safer and more convenient?

Lin Qing, who studied archaeology, had a strong reverse thinking ability and quickly understood this point.

The space tested adventurers from the very beginning and influenced the subsequent plot.

If he had extraordinary talent and strength, he could display his prowess and earn the admiration of Yin Li Ting and the Emei Sect.

If he lacked this ability, he could use the 60 seconds of invincibility to try to escape towards Yin Li Ting, which would greatly increase his chances of survival.

But Lin Qing knew he couldn't run or show cowardice.

If he ran or showed cowardice, when Yin Li Ting and the Emei Sect arrived, including the disguised Zhang Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhu'er, their first impression of him, the first-generation disciple of the third generation of Wudang, would be of a man fleeing from a few lackeys. Even if he didn't care about the impressions of Yin Li Ting and Master Miejue, he couldn't forget that Zhou Zhiruo was watching!

At this point, Zhang Wuji had already learned the Nine Yang Divine Skill and had met Zhou Zhiruo twice, making her secretly infatuated with him. He had also revealed his identity to Zhou Zhiruo, giving him a significant advantage in the competition for her affection.

To win over the heroine Zhou Zhiruo, this first battle was crucial, even a prerequisite.

If Zhou Zhiruo saw the great Song Qingshu, the Wudang hero, unable to defeat Yin Tianzheng's three servants, her impression of him would plummet. In the future, compared to Zhang Wuji, who was the leader of the Ming Cult, he would be seen as a failure, and no one would love him.

Not to mention competing with Zhang Wuji, even after Master Miejue's death, the blackened Zhou Zhiruo would choose Chen Youliang over him, not even considering him as a backup.

To be a great hero, one must have the resolve to put on a brave face even when in dire straits.

With a thought, Lin Qing's expression became stern and unapproachable.

Yin Wufu and the six men of the Earth Flag were stunned by the sudden shout from the "Yu Mian Meng Chang" and paused, but they still surrounded Lin Qing.

Yin Wufu shouted, "Are you from the Wudang Sect, here to besiege Bright Peak? You were ambushed and are about to die. What more do you have to say?"

He was a notorious bandit who had been subdued by Yin Tianzheng and had received training from the White-Browed Eagle King, greatly improving his martial arts. In the plot, Yin Li Ting's full effort only managed to repel Yin Wufu, and it was only with the intervention of Zhu'er, the illegitimate daughter of Yin Yewang, that they retreated.

Lin Qing glanced at the three men and then at the men in yellow robes of the Ming Cult's Earth Flag.

He knew that if he acted now, he would only die.

He had to use his wits.

The only thing he could rely on was his knowledge of the plot.

According to the plot, this short, fat man should be Yan Yuan, the flag leader of the Earth Flag.

During Yang Dingtian's reign, the Ming Cult was once extremely powerful. Yang Dingtian himself was a hero, and his left and right envoys, the four guardians, and the five flag leaders were all outstanding figures. Unfortunately, due to Cheng Kun's treachery, Yang Dingtian died tragically, and his wife did not leave a will. Without a leader, the Ming Cult split and fell into internal strife. The five flag leaders and the leader of the Tianying Sect, Yin Tianzheng, were always at odds.

In other words, Yin Wufu and Yan Yuan were not on good terms.

The only way forward was to exploit this.

Lin Qing put on a desperate and tragic expression, "Today, I, Yu Mian Meng Chang Song Qingshu, led a team to coordinate with my sixth uncle Yin Li Ting..."

He deliberately paused.

Yin Wufu and Yan Yuan immediately showed signs of joy upon hearing the name "Song Qingshu."

The six major sects were besieging Bright Peak. Despite the Ming Cult and the Tianying Sect's desperate resistance, they were gradually being pushed back, and the six major sects were about to capture Bright Peak. But unexpectedly, they captured Song Qingshu, the son of the great Wudang hero Song Yuanqiao, who was destined to become the third-generation leader of Wudang. Capturing him would be a great achievement for the Ming Cult, as it would force the Wudang Sect to hold back.

Lin Qing inwardly laughed but maintained a calm expression, "But we were ambushed by your cult members and are now in a desperate situation. Although we are on opposite sides, I still admire your skills. Who came up with this plan?"

Yin Wufu gave a sly look at Yan Yuan and laughed, "So you are the famous Yu Mian Meng Chang Song Qingshu, the direct descendant of Zhang Sanfeng? This time, we caught a big fish. Capturing you will force the Wudang Sect to back off. This plan... naturally came from the great Tianying Sect, with no mistakes."

Before he finished, Yan Yuan spat, "Bah! Yin Wufu! If Yin Tianzheng were here, I would respect him for the sake of the Ming Cult. But you? You're just a dog of Yin Tianzheng! This ambush was set by us of the Earth Flag. You three came later, so how can you claim the credit?"

Yin Wuyuan shouted, "Bah! With your Earth Flag? You were almost wiped out by the Wudang! If my brothers hadn't arrived in time, you, Yan Yuan, would be dead. Now you're trying to take credit? This Song Qingshu is clearly our captive!"

Yin Wufu and the three others, along with Yan Yuan and the six others, began arguing over who should get the credit for capturing Yu Mian Meng Chang Song Qingshu, glaring at each other like roosters.

Lin Qing smiled to himself.

His first move was successful.

Sure enough, the Ming Cult's "proud and fierce warriors, prone to internal strife" problem had resurfaced.

Time ticked by.

Yin Wufu and the three others, along with Yan Yuan and the six others, were spitting and arguing, ready to fight at any moment.

But Yin Wushou, with a cunning look, said, "Shut up! Stop arguing. Bind this boy first and take him to Bright Peak. We'll let everyone decide who gets the credit."

Yin Wufu and Yan Yuan exchanged glances and nodded.

Lin Qing was tense.

Why weren't Yin Li Ting and the Emei Sect here yet?

"Pretty boy, get down on your knees!" Yin Wufu sneered, holding his saber and charging forward.

Lin Qing shouted again, "Stop!"

He smiled coldly, "I, the direct descendant of Wudang, the grandson of Zhang Sanfeng, the son of Song Yuanqiao, will not be defeated by the likes of you!"

Seeing his sudden change in attitude, Yin Wufu and Yan Yuan were confused and laughed.

"Is he scared out of his wits?"

Lin Qing's first move to buy time had reached its limit.

He estimated that the space's test for adventurers had a limit. The plot had been running for four minutes, and Yin Li Ting and the others should have arrived. Why weren't they here yet?

Could it be...?

He had to take the second risky move and gamble!
