Lin Fan had been hiding in the void, observing for a long time. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of tragedy for Sha Dulong and his group.
They had moved from one place to another, yet still ended up in such a miserable situation. They barely stepped out to rob before being taken down—there couldn’t be any robbers unluckier than them.
But this young man irritated Lin Fan.
What was Lin Fan’s motto?
Kill all the show-offs.
Especially this guy—his arrogance was so blatant, without even a hint of subtlety or restraint.
Still, Lin Fan found this youth somewhat intriguing.
Although his revealed cultivation was merely at the peak of the Divine Entrance stage, his hidden strength had actually reached the ultimate level of the Great Heaven Realm. Moreover, he had condensed as many as forty chains of laws—something truly astonishing.
Lin Fan thought about himself. His mastery of the Water Law was only at 80%.
He still needed several hours before completing his first chain of laws.
Yet, what slightly moved Lin Fan was that Sha Dulong and the others actually regarded him as their true leader.
Desert’s Fifteen Bandits?
In Lin Fan’s eyes, this name lacked any aura of dominance whatsoever.
Now, Lin Fan descended from the void and approached Sha Daotian, offering a pill for him to swallow.
“Just look at how pitiful you all are. How many successful robberies have you had?” Lin Fan asked.
After swallowing the pill and fully recovering, Sha Daotian awkwardly scratched his head.
In the past few months, they hadn’t succeeded even once. They had constantly been on the move, and just when they found a decent spot here to begin their robbery, they encountered this guy who pretended to be weak but was actually strong.
“Nothing to say, huh? You’re supposed to be professionals, yet you haven’t even pulled off one robbery successfully. Truly disappointing,” Lin Fan continued without pause.
“It’s because our leader wasn’t around, right? Without someone leading us, the success rate naturally dropped,” the dwarf Sha Mexiong muttered softly.
“Hmm, that’s actually a point. Without me leading, your success rate indeed drops significantly,” Lin Fan nodded approvingly. Sha Mexiong had hit the nail on the head, which pleased Lin Fan greatly.
At this moment, Chen Xuan’s expression darkened. These people were outright ignoring him.
To Chen Xuan, this was utterly infuriating.
“Alright, now that I’m here, let’s continue this robbery. Today, I’ll show you all what real robbery looks like,” Lin Fan declared.
“Long live the leader!”
“Glory to the leader!”
…
Seeing these fourteen clowns, Lin Fan felt much better. He then turned to Chen Xuan, who stood there with a gloomy expression.
“Lonely Dragon, say our top robbery rule again,” Lin Fan instructed.
“Sure thing…” With his leader finally back, Sha Dulong was no longer afraid of this so-called Xuan junior. He immediately shouted loudly, “Robbery! Men to the left, women to the right! We only take wealth, not lives. Behave yourselves!”
“Good… Not bad,” Lin Fan nodded approvingly, then gestured with his hand, “Follow me, let’s start the inventory.”
Sha Dulong glanced at Chen Xuan. He wanted to tell the leader how audacious this guy was, how he was another wolf in sheep’s clothing, but seeing his leader didn’t seem to care about the man, he decided not to say more.
“Haha… So you must be the last one of the Desert’s Fifteen Bandits,” Chen Xuan coldly stared at Lin Fan. Seeing the group ignoring him, he sneered.
“I’m speaking to you. Don’t tell me you didn’t hear me?” Chen Xuan was furious now. No one had ever dared to treat him this way before.
Even the Three Kings Bandit of Qingming Ancient Land or the Sha Jie Gang from Loulan Demon Sea would never dare to disrespect him like this.
Yet now, these mere desert bandits dared to ignore him. Unforgivable. Absolutely unforgivable.
“Scoundrel…”
“Pa…”
“Get out of the way. Tell the people on the carriages to come down. Time for robbery,” Lin Fan passed by Chen Xuan, and seeing the man still babbling, slapped him straight into the air.
“Oh my…” Sha Dulong and the others stared in shock as the previously arrogant Xuan junior was sent flying with just one slap from their leader.
The people from the caravan were equally stunned. They never expected the young man to be slapped away so easily.
Inside the carriage, Han Mei was also shocked. What was going on?
“Hurry out, we’re robbing.”
“Men to the left, women to the right. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“Rest assured, we only take wealth, not lives.”
Sha Dulong and the others immediately sprang into action, pulling Han Mei out of the carriage.
Standing there, Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. After several months, he was finally back to his old trade. This feeling was truly nostalgic.
At this moment, Han Mei was too shocked to understand what was happening.
At this time, Chen Xuan, who had been slapped into the air by Lin Fan, stood up.
His face was half red, half white, an ugly sight indeed.
“Fools! Since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish.”
“I sealed my cultivation just to play with you all. Since you insist, I’ll show you my true strength.”
“Seal release!”
“Boom…”
In an instant, Chen Xuan’s aura surged rapidly, shaking the entire heaven and earth.
“Leader, that guy…” Sha Dulong felt a chill in his heart as he sensed Chen Xuan’s current aura.
Lin Fan glanced sideways, “No worries. Let him release his seal first. Let’s finish the robbery first.”
Lin Fan was somewhat helpless regarding Chen Xuan. The fact that he was still alive was already a miracle.
What an idiot. He was just like those protagonists in old novels—always liked to play with seals. Even worse, he loved taking ages to unseal.
Although the young master admitted that his unsealing spectacle was quite impressive, it was still too foolish.
“Minor Heaven Realm.”
“Great Heaven Realm.”
“One chain of laws.”
“Ten chains of laws.”
…
Chen Xuan’s aura grew stronger, his eyes burning with fury, “Fools! You’ll tremble in hell soon enough.”
“Before my immense power, you will pay a heavy price for your actions.”
“Fools! You will regret ignoring me.”
At this moment, Chen Xuan stood alone, his aura violent and overwhelming. Yet to Lin Fan, this was still just a minor distraction. For now, robbery came first.
“Beautiful lady, behave yourself. Except for your underwear, hand everything else over,” Lin Fan walked ahead while Sha Dulong and the others followed, their arms full of looted items.
For Sha Dulong and the others, this moment brought back their sense of identity as bandits.
Success… Finally successful.
After several months, they had finally completed a robbery.
At this moment, Sha Dulong and the others felt like crying, while gazing at their towering leader with infinite admiration.
Their leader was truly their leader. One move, and his capability was evident.
Robbery could indeed be such an artistic endeavor.
Compared to their past robbery attempts, they now realized how far they had fallen short.
But leader, are you really not going to deal with that guy?
His aura was terrifying now.
Why did the chains around him exude such a destructive aura?
“Everyone, I am the young lady of the Han family. Please grant me this favor,” Han Mei, her heart filled with anxiety, saw Chen Xuan releasing his seal and felt a glimmer of hope.
“Alright, since you asked, I can’t refuse. So, except for your underwear and clothes, hand everything else over.”
“Poof…”
At that moment, Sha Dulong and the others admired their leader even more.
Their leader was indeed their leader. The way he granted favors was beyond words…
“Ahh… You dare to ignore me… My power will make you fear,” from afar, Chen Xuan’s voice echoed. A towering aura surged, shaking the winds and clouds.
Damn it… Absolutely unforgivable. Wherever he went, Chen Xuan was always the center of attention. When had he ever been treated with such contempt?
