"So, this is also a setup?"
Lin Yan stroked the Night Illuminating Divine Sword and said, "Upon entering the Mountain King Manor, there are only three paths."
"Either pretend ignorance, avoid conflict with the Mountain Lord, and then be labeled as the Mountain Lord's accomplice, becoming one of the culprits responsible for the deaths of all the Mountain King Manor's people!"
"Or fight the Mountain Lord, get killed by this half-step Sanctum Ascension powerhouse, sparing you all from dirtying your hands."
"The third path... is what we face now."
He said quietly, "I slay the Mountain Lord, depleting myself greatly, only to fall into your trap. Whether to fight or surrender, it's a death sentence either way, isn't it?"
