Chapter 1299: A Series of Misfortune

An Lin was starting to doubt even himself now.

He had been brainwashed…

The more the two Stone Tribe living beings discussed with one another, the more depth their conversation began to hold.

The conversation had already transcended An Lin’s imagination and reached some sort of peculiar, mysterious level.

After debating with one another for a while.

The young Stone Tribe living being beamed with excitement. “Master, what you’re saying is, the person inside that coffin is Shrodinger’s An Lin?[1]”

The old Stone Tribe living being nodded. “That’s right, this is Schrodinger’s An Lin!”

An Lin: “???”

The old Stone Tribe living being launched into an explanation. “Life has no beginning and no end. The An Lin inside the coffin is caught somewhere between reality and illusion. It could be the real An Lin, or it could also be a trap. These two possible states coexist at the same time! Before we open the coffin, it’s impossible to ascertain which of the two states An Lin is!”

Hence, after all that bullsh*t, they came to a useless conclusion.

An Lin was completely speechless. He was ten thousand percent sure now that these two Stone Tribe living beings were overthinking stupid c*nts!

“What do we then, Master?” The young Stone Tribe “prodigy” was at a loss.

“That depends on our choice. Is it worth taking the risk for a heavenly peach tree?” The old Stone Tribe living being spoke in a slow voice, “If this coffin is indeed a trap set up by the cherry blossom forest, then there is a very good chance we’ll be eliminated if we open it!”

“There are still three heavenly peach trees within this cherry blossom forest waiting for us, why should we put all our eggs in one coffin?” The young Stone Tribe living being expressed its opinion.

An Lin was internally roaring with approval. This young prodigy was very wise!

“But have you thought about how difficult it would be to secure those three heavenly peach trees? We aren’t even at the Dao Integration Stage, so wouldn’t we just be destroyed even if we get there? There is a conundrum before our eyes now. It is both a test and an opportunity,” the old Stone Tribe living being muttered.

“Master is so wise!” The young Stone Tribe living being cheered joyfully.

Thus, after a short discussion, the two retards decided to open the coffin after all!

An Lin was about to cry. Was this fate?

In the Heavenly Palace.

The battles were still being broadcasted.

However, many of the mighty figures were surveying the sticky situation An Lin was in, and they were all chortling with mirth.

“This is probably the most awkward contestant in the history of the Heavenly Peach Banquet!”

“He’s the most miserable and tragic contestant as well. All he can do is lie there powerlessly and await his cruel fate.”

“I feel a little sorry for Sect Leader An Lin now. Can he turn the tables?”

“Turn the tables my a*s! If he could, he would’ve done so a long time ago! What can he do now? Rise from the coffin as a zombie?”

All of the mighty figures were discussing spiritedly among themselves.

Holy Angel Michael of the Garden of Eden shook his head with a faint sigh. “I didn’t think this would be the end you would come to. You fought so hard to defeat me, but you only ended up making yourself easy prey for someone else… Your mode of elimination is going to be even more embarrassing than mine…”

Zhu Shan was ecstatic. “An Lin, why aren’t you being all high and mighty now? Hehe, I’m going to enjoy seeing you get eliminated!

“You can’t do anything except lie there and watch as your enemies slowly approach. Are you scared? Are you in despair? I can finally see you get tortured. Just the thought of it gets me excited…”

Zhu Shan stared unblinkingly at the footage of An Lin on the screen, as if watching him get tortured would be the biggest source of joy in her life.

The two Stone Tribe living beings unleashed a defensive spell technique, which materialized a white barrier of light around their bodies, before carefully lifting the lid off the coffin.

Rumble…

The coffin lid was removed, revealing An Lin inside.

“Ohhh… It really is An Lin!” the young Stone Tribe prodigy yelled with excitement.

An Lin was already in despair, but he still forced an enticing smile onto his face. “Come on, my precious… You have successfully removed my coffin lid, so my storage ring is yours. Come and get it…”

The young Stone Tribe prodigy’s body stiffened with fear and doubt.

“My disciple, you must be firm in your convictions and beliefs. Do not be fooled again!”

The old Stone Tribe mighty figure harrumphed coldly as it reached toward An Lin. “You’re just a useless mortal right now, so quit putting on this show! Not only am I going to take your storage ring, but I’m also going to pummel you! What are you going to do to me?”

An Lin’s expression became fierce all of a sudden as he glared viciously at the old Stone Tribe mighty figure.

“Oh, I’m so scared, come cut me down!” The old Stone Tribe mighty figure chuckled. An Lin’s reaction vindicated its decision.

Whoosh!

A dazzling golden sword projection sliced through the air, annihilating all of the cherry blossoms in its path.

Peerless sword intent enshrouded the entire space, striking one with the urge to concede and kneel.

The two Stone Tribe living beings were both struck by a terrifying sense of impending death at the same time.

“Be careful!!”

“It’s too late, ah!”

Not only was the golden sword projection extremely fearsome in power, but it was also astonishingly fast, and it quickly sliced through the two Stone Tribe living beings’ bodies, sending blood and shattered stone fragments flying through the air.

“How… how could this be… I really did get cut down?” The old Stone Tribe living being stared at An Lin with astonishment.

“Master, this is a trap!” The young Stone Tribe living being howled in agony as a golden protective light appeared around its body.

“No, it’s not a trap…” The old Stone Tribe living being was also being enshrouded by a golden protective light as it looked into the distance.

An Lin was also looking in the same direction with anticipation on his face.

The one that had unleashed that sword strike had saved him in the nick of time.

Was it an ally?

A lithe and graceful woman in a black dress appeared before everyone.

Her fair skin was tinged with pink under the cherry blossoms, and her gorgeous features were embellished with a sinister smile.

The two Stone Tribe living beings immediately came to a sudden realization.

An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath, and his features instantly paled.

“Mr. An Lin, we’ll be waiting for you outside.” The old Stone Tribe living being chortled gleefully.

“Sect Leader An Lin, you should be happy to be eliminated by such an exquisite beauty.” The young Stone Tribe living being also extended a friendly farewell to An Lin.

Both of them were assured of his imminent elimination as the incoming mighty figure… was Black Spirit Snake!

An Lin had jumped straight out of the frying pan and into the fire!

He was probably setting a record for the fastest heart rate among anyone lying down in a coffin…

“What is this god-awful luck?” An Lin was on the verge of tears. He felt like he was being struck by a relentless series of misfortune.

He would’ve preferred to be pummeled by those two retards from the Stone Tribe than to fall into Black Spirit Snake’s hands!

Black Spirit Snake had already arrived beside the coffin and was looking down at An Lin with a dainty smile.
