Chapter 342: Don’t Ignore Me

Lin Fan had been hiding in the void, watching for quite a while. He felt a deep sense of tragedy for Sha Dulong and his group.

They had moved from one place to another, only to end up in such a miserable situation. They barely stepped out to rob before getting defeated—it was hard to find bandits more unfortunate than them.

But this young man really annoyed Lin Fan.

What was Lin Fan’s motto?

Kill all who pretend to be powerful.

Especially this guy, whose arrogance was so blatant and shameless, without even a hint of restraint.

Still, Lin Fan found this youth somewhat intriguing.

Although his revealed cultivation was merely at the late stage of entering the divine, his hidden strength had actually reached the peak of the Grand Heaven Realm. Moreover, he had refined forty chains of laws—something that couldn’t help but amaze anyone.

Thinking of himself, Lin Fan had only completed 80% of his water-element laws.

It would still take him several hours to form his very first law chain.

Still, Lin Fan felt slightly touched that Sha Dulong and his group actually regarded him as their leader.

Desert’s Fifteen Bandits?

In Lin Fan’s eyes, this name lacked any aura of dominance whatsoever.

At this moment, Lin Fan descended from the void and approached Sha Daotian, giving him a pill to swallow.

“You guys really are pathetic. How many successful robberies have you had?” Lin Fan asked.

After swallowing the pill and recovering completely, Sha Daotian awkwardly scratched his head.

In the past few months, they hadn’t succeeded even once. They had been constantly on the move, and just when they found a decent spot to start robbing, they encountered this guy who pretended to be weak but was actually powerful.

“Nothing to say, huh? You’re supposed to be professionals, yet you haven’t succeeded even once. Truly disappointing,” Lin Fan continued, unrelenting.

“It’s just that our leader wasn’t around. Without someone leading us, naturally the success rate dropped,” the dwarf Sha Mexiong muttered.

“Hmm, that’s a point. Without me leading, your success rate really is quite low,” Lin Fan nodded in agreement. Sha Mexiong had hit the nail on the head, which pleased Lin Fan greatly.

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s expression turned unpleasant. These people were completely ignoring him.

To Chen Xuan, this was utterly infuriating.

“Alright, now that I’m here, let’s continue with the robbery. Today, I’ll teach you all a lesson on what real robbery looks like,” Lin Fan declared.

“Long live the boss!”

“Boss, you’re overflowing with might!”

Seeing these fourteen clowns, Lin Fan’s mood improved. He then turned to Chen Xuan, who stood there with a dark expression.

“Lonely Dragon, repeat our robbery slogan again,” Lin Fan said.

“Got it…” Now that the boss was back, Sha Dulong naturally wasn’t afraid of this so-called ‘Junior Xuan’ anymore. He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, “Robbery! Men to the left, women to the right! We only take your wealth, not your lives. Stay still and behave yourselves.”

“Good… quite good,” Lin Fan nodded approvingly, then gestured with his hand, “Follow me. Time to start the collection.”

Sha Dulong glanced at Chen Xuan. He wanted to tell the boss how audacious this fellow was, how he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but seeing that the boss didn’t take the opponent seriously, he decided not to say more.

“Haha… So you must be the final member of the Desert’s Fifteen Bandits,” Chen Xuan coldly stared at Lin Fan, then seeing the group of fools ignoring him, sneered contemptuously.

“I’m speaking to you. Could it be that you didn’t hear me?” Chen Xuan was furious now. Never before had anyone dared to act so disrespectfully in front of him.

Lin Fan had been hiding in the void for quite some time, witnessing the tragic plight of Sha Duyong and his gang.

They had moved from one place to another, only to end up in such a miserable state. Every time they tried to rob someone, they got beaten up. It seemed like there were no more unfortunate bandits than them.

However, the young man before him made Lin Fan quite uncomfortable.

What was Lin Fan’s motto?

“Destroy all pretentious people.”

Especially this guy, who was so blatantly showing off without any sense of restraint.

Yet, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit intrigued by this young man.

Although his displayed cultivation level was only at the peak of the Divine Realm, his hidden strength was actually at the Great Heavenly Perfection stage. Moreover, he had condensed forty chains of rules, which was truly astonishing.

Thinking about himself, Lin Fan’s mastery of the Water Rule was only at 80%.

He was still a few hours away from forming his first chain of rules.

However, Lin Fan was slightly moved by the fact that Sha Duyong and his gang genuinely regarded him as their leader.

The Desert Fifteen Bandits?

To Lin Fan, the name lacked any sense of dominance.

At this moment, Lin Fan descended from the void and approached Sha Daotian, handing him a pill to swallow.

“Tell me, how did you end up in such a sorry state? How many successful robberies have you pulled off?” Lin Fan asked.

Sha Daotian, who had just swallowed the pill and fully recovered, scratched his head in embarrassment.

Over the past few months, they hadn’t succeeded even once. They had been constantly on the move, and just as they found a good spot to start their robbery, they encountered this wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“Speechless, huh? You’re supposed to be professionals, yet you haven’t pulled off a single robbery. That’s really disappointing,” Lin Fan continued relentlessly.

“It’s because you weren’t here, boss. Without your leadership, our success rate naturally dropped,” the dwarf Sha Miexiong said in a low voice.

“Hmm, that’s a valid point. Without me leading, your success rate really isn’t that high,” Lin Fan nodded, quite satisfied with Sha Miexiong’s reasoning.

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s expression turned grim. These people were completely ignoring him, which was utterly infuriating.

“Alright, now that I’m here, let’s continue with the robbery. Today, I’ll teach you a proper lesson on how to rob,” Lin Fan declared.

“Boss is mighty!”

“Boss is unstoppable!”

Seeing these fourteen clowns, Lin Fan’s mood lightened considerably. He then turned his gaze to Chen Xuan, who stood there with a dark expression.

“Duyong, repeat our robbery motto,” Lin Fan instructed.

“Alright…” Now that the boss was back, Sha Duyong wasn’t afraid of this so-called “Young Master Xuan” anymore. He bellowed, “Robbery! Men to the left, women to the right! We only take money, not lives. Behave yourselves!”

“Good…” Lin Fan nodded, then waved his hand. “Follow me, let’s start the looting.”

Sha Duyong glanced at Chen Xuan. He wanted to warn the boss that this guy was quite arrogant and a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but seeing that the boss didn’t seem to care, he decided not to say anything more.

“Haha… the Desert Fifteen Bandits. So, you’re the last one,” Chen Xuan sneered at Lin Fan, then chuckled coldly as he saw these fools completely disregard him.

“I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?” Chen Xuan was furious. No one had ever dared to be so insolent in front of him.

Not even the Three Kings of the Qingming Ancient Land or the Murder Gang of the Loulan Demon Sea would dare to treat him with such disrespect.

Yet, these insignificant desert bandits had the audacity to ignore him. It was outrageous, utterly outrageous.

“Bastard…”

“Slap…”

“Stop being a nuisance. Get the people off the carriage. It’s robbery time,” Lin Fan said as he passed by Chen Xuan, who was still ranting. With a swift slap, he sent Chen Xuan flying.

“Damn…” Sha Duyong and the others were stunned to see the previously arrogant “Young Master Xuan” being sent flying with just one slap from the boss.

The people in the caravan were also completely dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected the young man to be slapped away so easily.

Inside the carriage, Han Mei was equally shocked. What was going on?

“Come out, it’s robbery time.”

“Men to the left, women to the right. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be.”

“We only take money, not lives. Don’t worry, we won’t harm you.”

Sha Duyong and his gang began their thorough looting, pulling Han Mei out of the carriage.

Lin Fan stood there, nodding in satisfaction. After months of inactivity, it felt nostalgic to be back in the robbery business.

Han Mei was utterly terrified by the scene before her, completely unaware of what was happening.

At this moment, Chen Xuan, who had been slapped away by Lin Fan, stood up.

His face was a mix of red and white, a rather jarring sight.

“Bastards, since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish.”

“I, Chen Xuan, sealed my cultivation just to play with you. But now, you’ll witness my true power.”

“Seal, release!”

“Boom…”

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s aura surged dramatically, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

“Boss, that guy…” Sha Duyong trembled as he felt the overwhelming aura emanating from Chen Xuan.

Lin Fan glanced sideways, “Don’t worry, let him release his seal. We’ll continue with the robbery.”

Lin Fan was somewhat amused by Chen Xuan. It was a miracle he had survived this long.

This guy reminded him of the protagonists from some novels he had read, who loved to seal their powers and then take forever to release them.

While Lin Fan had to admit that the spectacle during the release was quite impressive, it was still rather foolish.

“Minor Heavenly Realm.”

“Major Heavenly Realm.”

“One chain of rules.”

“Ten chains of rules.”

Chen Xuan’s aura grew stronger and stronger, his eyes filled with rage. “Bastards, you’ll soon tremble in the depths of hell.”

“Before my overwhelming power, you will pay dearly for your actions.”

“Bastards, how dare you ignore me. You’ll regret this.”

At this moment, Chen Xuan stood alone, his aura raging violently. But for Lin Fan, this was the perfect time to continue with the robbery.

“Miss, behave yourself. Hand over everything except your underwear,” Lin Fan said as he walked ahead, with Sha Duyong and the others following, their hands full of loot.

For Sha Duyong and his gang, this moment brought back the sense of being true bandits.

Success… finally, success.

After months of failure, they had finally pulled off a successful robbery.

Sha Duyong and the others felt like crying, their eyes filled with boundless admiration for their towering leader.

The boss was truly the boss. With just one move, he proved his worth.

Who knew robbery could be such an art?

Compared to their previous attempts, their past robberies paled in comparison.

But boss, aren’t you going to deal with that guy?

His aura is really terrifying now.

Why do those chains around him feel so destructive?

“Everyone, I am the young lady of the Han family. Please, show some respect,” Han Mei said, her heart racing. But seeing Chen Xuan releasing his seal, she felt a glimmer of hope.

“Alright, since you’ve spoken, we’ll show some respect. Hand over everything except your underwear and clothes.”

“Pfft…”

At this moment, Sha Duyong and the others admired their boss even more.

The boss was truly the boss. The way he showed respect was simply unparalleled…

“Ah… you dare ignore me… my power will make you tremble,” Chen Xuan’s voice echoed from afar, his aura surging and stirring the heavens.

Bastards… truly bastards. Wherever Chen Xuan went, he was the center of attention. Never had he been so utterly disregarded.

Yet now, these insignificant desert bandits dared to ignore him. Despicable! Absolutely despicable!

“Scoundrel…”

“Smack!”

“Get out of the way. Tell the people on the carriages to come down immediately. It’s time for a robbery.” As Lin Fan passed Chen Xuan, seeing the latter still babbling, he simply slapped him, sending him flying.

“Wow…” Sha Dulong and the others watched in shock as the previously arrogant ‘Junior Xuan’ was sent flying with just one slap from their boss.

On the carriage side, everyone was equally stunned. They hadn’t expected the young man to be slapped away so easily.

Inside the carriage, Han Mei was also bewildered. What on earth was going on?

“Hurry out. Time for a robbery.”

“Men to the left, women to the right. Don’t be ungrateful.”

“We only rob wealth, not lives. Don’t worry, we won’t harm you.”

Sha Dulong and the others immediately began their operation, pulling Han Mei out from the carriage.

Standing there, Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. After several months, he was finally back to his old trade. This feeling was truly nostalgic.

At this moment, Han Mei was completely shocked, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, who had been slapped away by Lin Fan, had now risen to his feet.

His face was half red, half pale—an unsightly sight.

“Damn you! If you want to die, I’ll gladly oblige.”

“I was only sealing my cultivation to play with you all. Since you insist, I’ll let you witness my true strength.”

“Seal Release!”

“Boom…”

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s aura surged rapidly, shaking the entire heavens and earth.

“Boss, that guy…” Sha Dulong felt a chill in his heart as he sensed the aura radiating from Chen Xuan.

Lin Fan glanced sideways, “No worries. Let him release his seal first. Let’s finish the robbery first.”

As for Chen Xuan, Lin Fan could only feel helpless. That he had survived this long was already a miracle.

How come this guy resembled the protagonist from those old novels? Always playing with seals for no reason. Even if he insisted on sealing himself, why must he enjoy prolonging the unsealing process so much?

Although this young master admits that the spectacle you create while unsealing is indeed impressive, you’re still just plain foolish.

“Minor Heaven Realm.”

“Grand Heaven Realm.”

“One law chain.”

“Ten law chains.”

Chen Xuan’s aura grew stronger and stronger, his eyes burning with fury, “Damn you! You’ll tremble in hell soon enough.”

“Before my immense power, you will pay a heavy price for your actions.”

“Damn you! You’ll regret ignoring me!”

At this moment, Chen Xuan stood alone, his aura violent and overwhelming. Yet to Lin Fan, at this moment, robbery still came first.

“Beautiful lady, behave yourself. Give me everything except your underwear,” Lin Fan walked ahead while Sha Dulong and others followed, their hands full of looted items.

For Sha Dulong and his group, this moment brought back their sense of being bandits.

Success… finally success.

After several months, they had finally succeeded in a robbery.

At this moment, Sha Dulong and the others felt like crying, while gazing at the tall figure before them with boundless admiration.

The boss was indeed the boss. One move was enough to show his capability.

Robbery was truly an art.

Thinking back to their previous robbery attempts, compared to the boss, they were far inferior.

But boss, aren’t you going to deal with that guy?

His aura was genuinely terrifying now.

The chains wrapped around him exuded a destructive aura.

“Everyone, I am the young lady of the Han family. Please show some respect,” Han Mei, her heart filled with anxiety, saw the unsealing Chen Xuan and felt a glimmer of hope.

“Alright, since you’ve spoken up, I can’t refuse such a request. So, aside from your underwear and clothes, hand everything else over.”

“Spit…”

At this moment, Sha Dulong and the others admired their boss even more.

The boss was indeed the boss. Even when giving face, he still managed to leave people speechless.

“Ah… You dare to ignore me… My power will make you tremble in fear.” At this moment, Chen Xuan’s voice echoed from afar, a surge of sky-piercing aura stirring the winds and clouds, altering the very sky.

Damn… truly damn. Wherever he went, he was the center of attention. Never before had he been treated with such coldness.
