Chapter 287: Chapter 269 Zhang Yuan’s Choice

Zhang Yuan slowly lifted his head and looked towards Zhang Wu.

A moment later, he turned his head to gaze at Lin Jing and Huang Qingling.

At this time, Zhang Yuan’s eyes still lacked focus.

He seemed like a walking corpse.

In the sky, the battle between Wu Cai Immortal and the Zhang Family Patriarch had also begun.

Right from the start, both unleashed their full power.

As soon as they clashed, Wu Cai Immortal was suppressed by the blood-red light bursting forth from the Zhang Family Patriarch.

Having no choice, Wu Cai Immortal released streams of multicolored light towards the Zhang Family Patriarch while retreating backwards.

The dazzling multicolored light collided with the blood-red light filled with an evil aura, causing their spiritual power to surge and scatter in all directions.

Beneath them, countless mountains, stones, and trees affected by their spells were sent flying chaotically, leaving the ground in disarray.

The battle was fierce, but since it was some distance away from Lin Jing and the others, their location was, for the time being, unaffected.

Now free from the oppressive divine sense of Wu Cai Immortal, both Lin Jing and Huang Qingling recovered.

It was at this moment:

Zhang Wu, with hands behind his back, slowly walked towards the three of them, his gaze calm. Looking at Zhang Yuan, he spoke:

“Young Master Yuan…”

“Please take action quickly, and do not fail the master’s expectations.”

With Zhang Wu here, it was nearly impossible for Lin Jing and the other to escape even if they wanted to.

Hearing Zhang Wu’s words, Zhang Yuan gradually came to his senses.

A moment later, he stood up.

He looked at Lin Jing and Huang Qingling again.

Lin Jing and Huang Qingling were both extremely guarded, facing Zhang Wu, a Golden Core Cultivator, they couldn’t help but be vigilant.

Seeing Zhang Yuan look over, Lin Jing lifted his head and also looked towards Zhang Yuan.

Clearly, Lin Jing could see that Zhang Yuan’s eyes were filled with changing expressions.

Clearly, he was struggling.

Lin Jing was silent for a moment, then spoke:

“Brother Zhang…”

“Even if you truly become our enemy, I can understand.”

“But…”

“I will fight with all my might.”

Huang Qingling stood firmly by his side, nodding her head in agreement.

In contrast, Zhang Wu looked unhurried as he watched the three of them.

Zhang Yuan’s struggle deepened.

“Young Master Yuan, it is time for you to take action,” Zhang Wu said, urging him as he saw Zhang Yuan’s hesitation.

At the same time, an aura unique to a Golden Core Cultivator rose from Zhang Wu, bringing a sense of oppression that enveloped Lin Jing and Huang Qingling once again.

Clearly, Zhang Wu was ready, just waiting for Zhang Yuan to make his decision.

Zhang Yuan looked down for a while, then when he lifted his head again, his face was full of determination, his eyes unwavering.

Then he turned around, back facing Lin Jing and Huang Qingling, towards Zhang Wu, and said:

“Elder Wu, I don’t want to become someone like you or the Patriarch. If even friends and family can be discarded, then can I still be myself?”

Zhang Yuan’s words left Zhang Wu silent for a moment.

Then, with a slight frown, he advised Zhang Yuan:

“Young Master Yuan, you understand the master.”

“Once the master has decided, there can be no disagreement…”

“If you insist on going against the master’s will, I fear no one will be able to save you.”

“I watched you grow up, Young Master, and I don’t want to see you take the wrong path.”

“I hope you can think this through clearly…”

Facing Zhang Wu’s advice, Zhang Yuan simply shook his head and then said:

“I have thought it through.”

Following that.

Zhang Yuan turned his head towards Lin Jing and Huang Qingling and said:

“Brother Lin, Miss Qingling, you two should leave quickly…”

Faced with Zhang Yuan’s choice, Lin Jing felt both surprise and admiration; on one hand was his friend, on the other was his family’s Patriarch…

After all, such a decision would be difficult for anyone to make.

“Brother Zhang, you…”

Lin Jing looked at Zhang Yuan and just started to speak when Zhang Wu interrupted:
