400: Chapter 400 Choosing Treasures, Has Golden Jade Gone Mad?

"Oh? A threat? This general would like to see just what I wouldn't dare to do!"

General Li Bufan crossed his arms, speaking with a playful expression.

The faces of the other Sons of Xiancha darkened, but they could only let Lin Ran and the others "mess around."

Led by Jin Yanyu, General Li Bufan brought Lin Ran and the others to the front of the Golden Ancient Loulan.

Looking at the towering Golden Ancient Loulan before them, not a hint of shock could be seen on the faces of Lin Ran and the others.

After all, their Golden Ancient Loulan was far more spectacular than the Sand Bandits' Golden Ancient Loulan!

Upon entering the Golden Ancient Loulan, the other Sand Bandit Elders had already been waiting for a long time, each with a fierce look in their eyes, staring fixedly at every move Lin Ran and his group made.

Clearly, they had already received word and knew that Qing Mixian had died at Ming Chuan's hands.

The first Elder of the Sand Bandits, First Elder Cui Fanchan, spoke indifferently, "Since a bet was made, we Sand Bandits naturally won't go back on our word."

"You may choose any one treasure from this place."

Hearing this, Lin Ran's face remained calm, but he felt a strong urge to laugh.

They've already become damn bandits, and they're claiming they won't go back on their word?

Ultimately, these Sand Bandits only dared not to renege because Lin Ran and the others were from the Chenxin Divine Dynasty with the Empress backing them.

If it had been any other power, would these Sand Bandits have been so polite?

They'd likely have been hacked into mincemeat by a group of Sand Bandits the moment they stepped into the Koumo Desert!

"Since the Elder has said so, then we shall accept with pleasure."

"Ming Chuan, you were the one who killed Qing Mixian, so the treasure here should naturally be chosen by you."

"But remember, you can only take one; don't pick more."

"Of course, there will be plenty of such opportunities in the future, so there's no need for us to be envious."

Lin Ran smiled nonchalantly.

His words were clearly intended to provoke the Sand Bandits.

He deliberately mentioned Qing Mixian's death and said there would be many more opportunities to pick treasures in the future.

The underlying meaning was clearly that the young Prodigies of the Koumo Desert were nothing; no matter how many came, they would all die.

This was no longer just an insult; it could only be described as a psychological blow to the heart!!

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Ran's words, the killing intent on the faces of the many Sand Bandit Elders surged uncontrollably, and their heaving chests revealed their turbulent hearts.

However, General Li Bufan was right there; if they dared to make even the slightest move, General Li Bufan would likely tear them apart without hesitation!

In the end, they could only watch as Ming Chuan chose a long saber forged from the remains of a Dragon Clan member with a Seven-Star Divine Realm cultivation—a High Grade Five-Star Dao Treasure Artifact—and then left with a flourish.

"Damn it! How long has it been, and Qing Mixian is already dead? And we let these people take the Dragon Resentment Blade?! This is an absolute humiliation!!"

"Old Jin, go! Go and engage them in another Life-and-Death Battle! I don't believe our Sons of Xiancha can't compare to those young Prodigies who just joined the Zifu Holy Land!!"

The Elders roared with distorted faces, their Aura overwhelming.

Jin Yanyu's expression was gloomy. With a wave of his hand, he led the remaining Sons of Xiancha out of the Golden Ancient Loulan.

At the same time.

In front of the "Golden Ancient Loulan," looking at the Dragon Resentment Blade in his hand, Ming Chuan could feel the Blood Evil Qi contained within. The blade had even been soaked in Dragon blood, making its Evil Qi seem heaven-shaking.

Ming Chuan immediately became inseparable from the blade, his eyes filled with fondness.

Hints of envy also appeared on the faces of Chen Mu, the Fairy Jiulian, and the others.

After all, they had just seen with their own eyes that the Golden Ancient Loulan was filled with countless rare treasures they had never seen before!

If an ordinary person could obtain just one, they would likely be able to soar to the heavens!

Naturally, they were quite envious!

"Alright, everyone, no need to be envious. Isn't another Opportunity coming?"

Lin Ran looked up at the sky, a faint smile on his lips.

Just as he finished speaking, Jin Yanyu descended from the sky with the remaining Sons of Xiancha, his face incredibly gloomy and unsightly.

"Elder Jin, who do you plan to send out for a Life-and-Death Battle with us this time?"

Lin Ran smiled faintly.

Jin Yanyu snorted coldly and said, "This time, why don't we play for bigger stakes?"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, feeling a spark of interest.

Looking at his posture, could it be that Jin Yanyu is about to go mad?!

"Bigger stakes? Interesting. Go on."

Lin Ran naturally wouldn't refuse Jin Yanyu's "kindness" and smiled.

"This time, each of our sides will send out two young Prodigies to fight. It will still be a Life-and-Death Battle. How about it?"

Jin Yanyu said with a cold expression.

"That's naturally no problem. Since Jin Yanyu is rushing to deliver an Opportunity to us, how could we refuse?"

"Elder Jin, why don't you send out your young Prodigies first?"

Lin Ran chuckled.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Jin Yanyu said, "Yan Qing, Yan Zhen, this Elder wants you to win this Life-and-Death Battle at all costs!"

"Understood!"

"Yes!"

Yan Qing and Yan Zhen nodded one after another, standing ready.

"Oh? Heavenly Palace Realm cultivation?"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, calculating secretly in his heart.

He knew Jin Yanyu was going to go mad, but he hadn't expected Jin Yanyu to directly send out two young Prodigies with Heavenly Palace Realm cultivation.

This was a bit tricky; their side only had three young Prodigies at the Heavenly Palace Realm.

They were Saintess Yu Luo, Yu Xin, and Little Prince Chen Lian.

He wasn't quite sure about the relationship between Saintess Yu Luo and Yu Xin. He didn't know how well they would cooperate, or if they might start fighting each other while battling the enemy.

During the Ultimate Assessment, Yu Xin had been one move short and lost to Saintess Yu Luo, and the two of them looked as if they held a grudge against each other.

This made him even more hesitant to take the risk.

As for Little Prince Chen Lian, he was planning to prepare a separate "big gift" for him, so sending him into this kind of two-person tag-team battle wasn't suitable.

Just as Lin Ran was at his wit's end, Saintess Yu Luo lifted her eyelids slightly and said coldly, "Yu Xin and I will handle this battle."

"Can you two manage?"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Rest assured, this Saintess still understands the principle of uniting against a common enemy."

Saintess Yu Luo said icily.

The Fairy Jiulian also nodded firmly to Lin Ran, signaling him not to worry.

Their personal grievances could naturally be set aside for the time being in the face of the major task of dealing with the Sand Bandits.

"Very well, then you two shall take part in this Life-and-Death Battle."

Lin Ran nodded.

Saintess Yu Luo and Yu Xin stood side by side and walked out together.

Both were peerless beauties with extraordinary elegance, truly capable of toppling cities and nations.

Standing together, they were so beautiful they could enchant any living soul; even the wind of the Koumo Desert seemed to turn sweet as it passed by them.

"Yu Xin, don't drag me down."

Saintess Yu Luo said coldly. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed an Ice Phoenix Phantom covered in Blue Ice Flames, charging towards Yan Qing and Yan Zhen.
