396: Chapter 396 Forging the Golden Ancient Loulan: Li Bufan's Intimidating Power!

That would be no different from seeking death!

Lin Ran rubbed his chin with his right hand, thought carefully for a moment, and said:

"General Tiance, the Golden Ancient Loulan is the Holy Land of these Sand Bandits, but what exactly is inside?"

General Tiance said without hesitation, "According to the information we currently have, a large number of rare treasures are stored in the Golden Ancient Loulan!"

"Treasures?"

A wicked smile tugged at the corner of Lin Ran's mouth, and a good idea immediately came to mind.

"General Tiance, please find some skilled craftsmen. Within just a few days, we will build another 'Golden Ancient Loulan' in the Koumo Desert!"

General Li Bufan was a bit dazed, unable to understand Lin Ran's meaning.

The others also looked at Lin Ran with confused expressions.

"Alright, you don't need to ask too much; just follow orders."

As he spoke, Lin Ran pretended to casually shake the imperial token at his waist.

"Yes!"

General Li Bufan respectfully cupped his fists.

"By the way, General Tiance, tell those craftsmen to intentionally make a lot of noise while building the 'Golden Ancient Loulan.' It's best to let those Sand Bandits know; we shouldn't work for nothing."

Lin Ran smiled.

"Alright!"

General Tiance's figure flashed and immediately vanished from the spot.

"Brother Lin, I still don't quite understand. Why do we want to build an Golden Ancient Loulan ourselves?"

Chen Mu scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression.

"You don't need to understand for now. Once the Golden Ancient Loulan is built, there will naturally be a place for you to show your skills."

Lin Ran patted Chen Mu's shoulder and gave a mysterious smile.

Little Prince Chen Lian snorted with disdain, not taking Lin Ran seriously at all.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks Lin Ran could pull off!

Although Lin Ran was the top scorer in the final assessment of the Divine Fire Realm camp and had now broken through to the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Bridge Realm, he still looked down on him.

After all, in the eyes of this Little Prince of the Chen Mansion, there weren't many people in this world worth his notice.

Before long, General Li Bufan brought back hundreds of skilled craftsmen.

"General Tiance, have these craftsmen make the construction as grand and loud as possible!"

"Furthermore, I want the Golden Ancient Loulan they build to be even more magnificent than the one built by the Sand Bandits!"

"Can this be done?"

Lin Ran asked seriously.

"Rest assured, these are craftsmen I brought from the Holy Land. Each has extraordinary skills. As long as there are enough Materials, they can even build a Heavenly Palace by hand!"

General Li Bufan said confidently.

At the same time, he became a bit more curious and respectful toward Lin Ran.

One should know that bringing so many craftsmen from the Zifu Holy Land was no small matter; even the high-ranking authorities were alerted.

However, Empress Mo Chenxin only had one thing to say about it.

As long as Lin Ran could solve the Sand Bandit issue, any request must be granted!

This sentence contained a significant amount of information; it was enough to see how much Empress Mo Chenxin valued Lin Ran—it was definitely not just talk!

"Very well, start working now!"

Lin Ran waved his hand and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Hundreds of craftsmen immediately displayed their Divine Abilities. Countless Materials and strange yet precious decorations flew out one after another, fitting together seamlessly and becoming indestructible.

Lin Ran leaned against a tree. General Li Bufan then walked over and sat in the sand, also leaning against the large tree.

"Lin Ran, could you explain the meaning of what we are doing?"

General Li Bufan asked curiously.

Lin Ran nodded slightly and smiled, "The purpose of doing this is naturally to attract the attention of the Sand Bandits."

"The Golden Ancient Loulan is the Holy Land of the Sand Bandits. If we build an Golden Ancient Loulan in this Koumo Desert that is even more magnificent than theirs, what do you think those Sand Bandits will feel?"

General Li Bufan thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... these Sand Bandits will surely be enraged and will likely be driven to desperation!"

"Correct. A dog will get desperate, but it won't jump over the wall. We are from the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, and Her Majesty the Empress stands behind us. No matter how stupid those Sand Bandits are, they wouldn't dare to kill us openly."

"Besides, isn't General Li here as well?"

Lin Ran smiled.

"Yes, this general will protect you even at the cost of his life!"

General Li Bufan nodded solemnly.

"And once these Sand Bandits fall into a state of being desperate but unable to act, won't they be at our mercy?"

Lin Ran smiled wickedly and reached out his right hand, making a firm clenching gesture.

"Coincidentally, aren't there many treasures in the Golden Ancient Loulan? Why don't we take the opportunity to earn some more treasures? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Lin Ran chuckled.

General Li Bufan's eyes lit up as if he understood something, and the way he looked at Lin Ran changed slightly.

Meanwhile, inside the Sand Bandits' Holy Land, the Golden Ancient Loulan.

A group of Elders with powerful Auras and unfathomable cultivation bases gathered here, seemingly plotting something.

"People from the Chenxin Divine Dynasty have come again, but this time is different. It seems the Chenxin Divine Dynasty is playing for keeps, even sending out the notoriously fierce General Tiance."

"Is it the rumored General Li Bufan, who possesses the Body of the War God and is known as the Peerless Martial God in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty? I didn't expect him to come this time; things look bad indeed!"

"In General Li Bufan's eyes, all of us combined probably aren't enough for him to handle with one hand! The only one who can contend with him is likely only the Chief."

"That's true, but... the Chief is currently searching for the life-tracing white immortal bead and hasn't returned to the Golden Ancient Loulan for a long time. If General Li Bufan goes mad and starts a massacre here, I'm afraid no one can stop him!"

"Why panic? Don't you see so many young Prodigies following behind him? The Zifu Holy Land wouldn't be so foolish as to send General Li Bufan here to start a massacre while bringing young Prodigies along to watch. Aren't they just giving us hostages?!"

"In any case, let's continue to observe and see what they are actually up to!"

General Li Bufan's fierce reputation was too overwhelming, to the point that even forces from other Divine Realms had heard of it and were wary.

Even these fierce and tough Sand Bandits were extremely wary of General Li Bufan.

Even though this was their territory, they didn't dare to make a move lightly.

However, they then discovered that after leaving the Koumo Desert for a while, General Li Bufan suddenly brought back hundreds of craftsmen.

What surprised them even more was that during these few days, General Li Bufan did not lead those young Prodigies to attack their Golden Ancient Loulan. Instead, they rested on the spot and had those hundreds of craftsmen build another Golden Ancient Loulan right in front of the Sand Bandits, modeled after their Holy Land!

This Golden Ancient Loulan was even more magnificent and its Aura even more grand than theirs!

Instantly, the faces of this group of Elders collectively darkened...
