426: Chapter 426 The Stubborn Lin Qingmeng Seizes the Treasure

"Brother Lin, what are we..."

Chen Mu swallowed hard. Looking at the magnificent scene before him, his eyes even glinted with green light.

Lin Ran glanced at him and said, "What are you still dazed for? If there's anything you like, just snatch it all and burn it all!"

Having said that, he was the first to move, starting to pick out the treasures he fancied.

The others, seeing this, immediately made their moves, unwilling to lag behind, fearing that if they were a step too late, the treasures they wanted would be snatched by someone else.

After all, in the current Golden Ancient Loulan, there were no rules or powerful figures restricting them anymore.

How many treasures they could grab depended entirely on how fast they moved!

As the saying goes, he who is slow gets nothing!

And a more dramatic scene was that Di Tian had actually joined in this scramble.

Previously the Saint of the Sand Bandits, Di Tian, now that his transaction with Leader Mo Yuan was complete and he had left the Sand Bandits, was actually competing with Lin Ran and the others to seize the treasures in the Golden Ancient Loulan.

This scene was as comical as it could get!

Although the treasures stored in the Golden Ancient Loulan were numerous, they couldn't withstand this kind of plundering by everyone.

Before long, all the treasures in the entire Golden Ancient Loulan were snatched up by Lin Ran and his group.

Even those valuable ornaments, and even the Divine Source embedded in the walls and jade pillars, were all dug out and pocketed by Lin Ran and his group.

"Tsk tsk! So many top-grade Divine Source, enough for us to Cultivate for quite a while!"

Chen Mu smiled from ear to ear.

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

In the Zhangming Emperor Realm, let alone top-grade Divine Source, even Low Grade Divine Source were rarely seen, and only the lower-tier Spirit Stone could be seen everywhere.

Yet here in the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, in this mere Koumo Desert, in this mere Golden Ancient Loulan, top-grade Divine Source were practically everywhere, even used as raw materials to support the grand formation.

The gap between them was self-evident. Sure enough, choosing correctly is more important than hard work!

"Fellow Daoist Lin, now that things here are settled, it's time for me to return."

"This is my voice transmission token, and this is my identity token."

"If you have any needs, you can send me a voice transmission at any time, and I will arrive immediately."

"Additionally, if you intend to go to the Lihuang Divine Realm in the future, hold my identity token. Throughout the entire Lihuang Divine Realm, you can go wherever you want, and no one will dare to stop you!"

Di Tian nodded slightly and said with a smile, making a bold statement.

Lin Ran took Di Tian's voice transmission token and identity token. He picked up the identity token and saw seven large characters engraved on its surface—

Who in the world does not recognize you!

"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Di Tian has said so, if I have any needs in the future, I certainly won't be polite with you!"

Lin Ran laughed and put away the two tokens.

Di Tian smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Lin, we shall meet again."

He turned and left. A luxurious and majestic carriage broke through the air and landed in front of him.

Di Tian entered the carriage, and it soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Fairy Jiulian tugged at Lin Ran's sleeve, gesturing with her hands.

Lin Ran glanced faintly at Yu Xi, and Yu Xi immediately said:

"Young Miss says that, judging from our current interactions, Di Tian is actually quite a decent person and worth befriending."

Lin Ran shook his head speechlessly and retorted: "I am not blind. Whether Di Tian is a good person and whether he is worth befriending, do you think I don't know?"

"Yu Xin, remember to talk less nonsense in the future."

Yu Xin's Phoenix eyes widened in anger. She pinched Lin Ran's waist hard, then folded her arms across her chest and sulked alone, looking quite cute.

Seeing Yu Xin like this, Lin Ran found it somewhat amusing.

"Alright, it's time for us to head back too."

"Chen Mu, burn this Golden Ancient Loulan. It has no value left. In this place, one Golden Ancient Loulan is enough; we don't need two."

Lin Ran said nonchalantly.

"Alright!"

Chen Mu looked spirited, appearing very happy to burn this Golden Ancient Loulan.

After all, the Koumo Desert was a notorious major force in the chendi Divine Realm.

And as the Holy Land of the Koumo Desert, the Golden Ancient Loulan was an iconic building that countless people wanted to destroy but dared not.

Now, Lin Ran had given him the task of burning the Golden Ancient Loulan. He didn't feel it was troublesome at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.

If he personally burned the Golden Ancient Loulan of the Koumo Desert, wouldn't he have bragging rights when he went outside later?!

Lin Ran led the group away, leaving only Chen Mu behind to ponder how to burn this Golden Ancient Loulan.

They returned to their own "Golden Ancient Loulan." Yellow sand rolled, and Lin Qingmeng was still kneeling, seemingly waiting for Lin Ran's forgiveness.

However, her remnant soul was now very dim, so dim that one might think a gentle breath could extinguish this wisp of remnant soul.

"Lin Qingmeng, why must you do this?"

"Although you are only a wisp of remnant soul, before, you could have completely relied on this remnant soul for Reincarnation and Rebirth. Why insist on falling to this state?"

Lin Ran stood with his hands behind his back, his tone indifferent.

"The grievances of this life for Qingmeng have not yet been settled. What face would I have to face Reincarnation?"

Lin Qingmeng's remnant soul trembled slightly, her tone bitter.

"Chu Jinyu killed my relatives and destroyed my Lin family, relying on nothing but a false accusation!"

"If I cannot avenge my relatives and my Lin family, how could I face Reincarnation?!"

"The pain and resentment of this life are invisible shackles imposed on the next life. I will not face Reincarnation, even if I were to vanish into thin air."

Lin Ran raised his eyelids slightly, expressionless, with no fluctuations visible on his face.

The others also looked at Lin Qingmeng with complex expressions but dared not speak at this moment.

They did not have the right to make choices for Lin Ran.

After a long while, Lin Ran slowly spoke: "Get up, Lin Qingmeng. I forgive you for your previous actions."

Hearing this, Lin Qingmeng's remnant soul trembled violently. She suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at Lin Ran.

"Young... Young Master, you... you... you really don't blame Qingmeng anymore?!"

Lin Ran shook his head: "No matter how you made your choices before, that was the path you chose yourself."

"You have already tasted the bitterness of the outcome of this path, and you plucked it with your own hands. It has nothing to do with me. Why would I blame you?"

In fact, he had never blamed Lin Qingmeng, nor did he have the spare time to blame Lin Qingmeng.

Before, when he reminded Lin Qingmeng, it was purely out of kindness.

Lin Qingmeng ignored it, so he did not force it too much. Whatever the outcome, it was Lin Qingmeng's own fate. He had always kept himself out of it.

"Since Young Master refuses to blame Qingmeng, Qingmeng thanks you here, Young Master!"

"With these words from Young Master, Qingmeng feels much better even if I vanish into thin air now."

Lin Qingmeng wept with joy, yet no tears flashed.
