Chapter 1024: Chapter 1044: The Human Emperor Becomes a Bandit, This Is Interesting!_1

This round of drinks, Lin Chen was fairly forthright, after all, Gao Yi had noticed something but didn’t take any action, indicating that he didn’t really care.

Since that’s the case, why continue hiding it?

They didn’t care because Lin Chen was only at the Nascent Soul strength, even if he wanted to make trouble, he wouldn’t stir up much. If they knew Lin Chen’s true identity, they probably wouldn’t be so casual about it.

After finishing the drinks, He Qianshan went to bed with a woman, and Lin Chen settled the bill for both of them before leaving the place.

Lin Chen wandered around the lively fair casually, after making sure no one was following him, he took out a Communication Stone and sent a message to Nalan Wushuang.

Before long, Nalan Wushuang’s figure appeared beside Lin Chen.

"You’re pretty fast."

Nalan Wushuang wore a hat and dressed much more casually than before, making her less conspicuous in the dark night.

"Good thing I placed a Spiritual Imprint on you, otherwise, with you guys running around everywhere, I wouldn’t be able to catch up."

Nalan Wushuang curiously looked at Lin Chen: "Have you been with them all this time?"

Lin Chen nodded: "They’re not what I imagined. Although they are bandits, they only rob the rich, wealthy, and sects, not hurting ordinary civilians. They have seven thousand Black Profound Stones in their possession, so I’m staying with them to see if there’s an opportunity to obtain them."

Nalan Wushuang asked: "Can we rob them by force?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, their leader and military advisor are very powerful, oh right, you should have met the Diamond Bandit King before, he almost killed you back then..."

Nalan Wushuang was stunned: "Who?"

Lin Chen said: "His father died at the hands of the demon race. Back then, he tried to assassinate the Demon Emperor and then turned to assassinate you but was dragged into the Array Formation by you..."

Nalan Wushuang recalled: "So it’s him, the Diamond Bandit King. He was indeed very powerful. At that time, several Demon Kings couldn’t stop him, and he managed to escape."

Lin Chen nodded: "They have basically accepted me now. I may have to mingle with them for some time. You can head back to Xingyuan City and wait for me."

Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "It’s boring to go back, I might as well follow you. I want to see what exactly you are going to do."

Lin Chen laughed: "So curious?"

Nalan Wushuang pursed her lips and laughed: "I’ve heard many stories about the Human Emperor, either saving the common people or on the way to save them. This is the first time I’ve met a living Emperor, and the first time I’ve heard of a bandit Emperor, so I want to see how your journey unfolds."

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly: "You’re really too idle. Even if you were to cultivate, at least you would gain some strength. Accompanying me for fun has no benefits."

Nalan Wushuang chuckled: "Having fun with you is much more interesting than cultivating. Alright, you don’t have to worry about me. I can take care of myself and won’t have any contact with them."

Lin Chen nodded: "As you wish, just be careful not to expose your identity."

Of course, Lin Chen didn’t need to worry about Nalan Wushuang’s strength. Even if she encountered a Void Profound Expert, with her Innate Dao Body, she still had the ability to escape.

Lin Chen stayed in the city for three days with He Qianshan, eating and drinking without any accidents.

Three days later, everyone gathered again at the mountain peak outside the city, with Yelü Yuan and Gao Feng reappearing after a three-day absence.

"Have you all prepared well?"

Yelü Yuan’s gaze swept over everyone, smiling: "I’ve found a big business deal. There will be a big battle up ahead, so get ready."

Zhou Yuanji asked: "Boss, who are we targeting?"

Gao Yi answered: "It’s temporarily confidential. Just follow along. Oh yes, here."

Gao Yi threw out a box: "This is a Black Profound Stone Essence Bead for you."

Zhou Yuanji happily accepted it, exclaiming excitedly: "Thank you, Boss, thank you, Military Advisor, haha!"

Gao Yi reminded him: "Don’t open it for now. There’s a seal on the box. Once opened, the Essence Bead will start to take effect and will expire after ten days. So, don’t open the box until you are ready for a breakthrough."

Zhou Yuanji put the box into his spatial ring, laughing: "Alright, I’ll go into Closed Door Cultivation the next time we rest, aiming for a one-time breakthrough."

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on Zhou Yuanji, his gaze somewhat subtle.

The Essence Bead was in Zhou Yuanji’s hands. Zhou Yuanji was only at the Transforming Spirit Peak, not a military advisor, nor Yelü Yuan. Dealing with him should be quite simple.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t make a move.

During this time, although Lin Chen and the others couldn’t be considered as brothers who shared life and death, they could still be regarded as partners. Moreover, they didn’t commit any heinous acts that angered both humans and gods, so Lin Chen had no reason to resort to underhanded means for the Black Profound Stone Essence Bead.

He Qianshan patted Lin Chen’s shoulder and chuckled: "Envious?"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly: "Envious."

Zhou Yuanji grinned: "Kid, unfortunately, there’s only one bead, so I’m sorry. You’ll have to work hard by yourself!"

Lin Chen laughed: "Alright."

Gao Yi’s gaze fell on Lin Chen’s face, watching him closely for two seconds before turning away: "Alright, everyone, let’s go!"
