269 This World is Silly, Not Lin Fan (2/2)

Based on Lin Fan’s understanding of big sects, he knew that sparing them would surely attract trouble. And that was what Lin Fan was aiming for.

This was the true meaning of setting out a bait for a big fish. By the time these experience points came flying to him like cookies dropping from the skies, there would be no way he could resist those wondrous level ups.

”As for you guys who had been rude to Yours Truly, I shall not stoop to your level. However, while I choose to spare your lives, you can’t avoid your punishments. Leave behind your valuables. Yours Truly will help to spread them across the world to help relieve you of your sins.” Lin Fan’s gaze at the five Elders was like that of a God.

When the five elders heard the first half of Lin Fan’s sentence, they were overwhelmed. To think that they would get away with this scot-free!

But when they heard the next half, they nearly broke down.

Even though what this man was saying made sense, the more they thought about it, the weirder it seemed.

Wasn’t this bloody daylight robbery?!? But the only difference was that this man had phrased the robbery as though it was some heavenly good deed. It was so logical and filled with sense, an outsider could not help but be grateful to him instead.

But at the end of the day, the crux of it could be summarised like this.

‘Leave behind your valuables, and you can leave.’

...

The five Elders and the Yao Family head hesitated for a while. Looking at Wang Haiming’s lifeless body lying down there, they knew that they could not match up against this man. To give or not to give, that was the question.

They could not gauge Lin Fan’s attitude or thoughts. But if they did not give in, their fates might not end up that well either.

In the end, the five elders and the Yao Family head gritted their teeth and relented.

Lin Fan confiscated the storage rings and valuables of the five elders and the Yao Family head joyfully. Now, he was feeling way cheerier.

Even though his face did not show it, he was secretly judging the quality of these items in his heart. All of them seemed to be of pretty decent quality. ‘Not bad, not bad… Seems like the rewards for this forbidden ground expedition was pretty plentiful as well.’

As for the five elders, they were in quite the dampened mood. Of course, they had once murdered for valuables and the likes in their lives. But never had they been the ones on the robbed end. By the looks of it, this man in front of them was just a bloody hooligan! In fact, he was a hooligan who could turn his words all righteous and just!

The disciples of the six sects could only watch helplessly as their elders got robbed. But on the other hand, they were pretty glad that they weren’t the ones who were robbed.

But little did they know that Lin Fan no longer had eyes for weak items such as theirs anymore.

To Lin Fan, this was called grooming, keeping these young little calves alive for them to be able to train up. One day, when they became high-level masters and sought vengeance from him, he’d rob them clean once and for all.

Lin Fan was not a silly man. It was this world that was silly.

And just then, the bright clear skies suddenly rumbled with lightning and dark clouds.

A mysterious aura was permeating from a distance.

When Lin Fan sensed it, his face changed. Why did this aura seem so familiar? Looking in the distance where it came from, he frowned…

In the skies, a dark shadow clad in black robes was walking on the clouds. No one could make out his gender nor facial features. He was walking hunchbacked, gripping two chains tightly in his fists, dragging a stone coffin.

The stone coffin was mysterious and vile, with bloodstains all over it. The mere look of it could send shivers down one’s spine.

At that moment, the skies never seemed more terrifying and malevolent...

Hahahaha Chicky’s actions are really ridiculous. But just when I thought the novel was going through another loop of non-progress, the story just keeps moving on bit by bit. Naise haha. Cheers!

Also, I would like to make a disclaimer that the translation of Kunpeng as Roc would not be changed. I know that there has been some dissent, particularly on some people and I'll admit that my response might not have been the best way to deal with it.

So here it is guys. The Kunpeng does not have a singular 'fixed' image and the description of it changes from novel to novel, author to authors. Even right now, no one can truly claim that it is just a single image or whether it can take on different forms due to it being imaginary in the first place.

I love all of you readers and Im sure you guys know it. There would be no reason otherwise for me to spend so much time looking and trying to understand your thoughts and comments. But if there are people who are just out to sow seeds of hatred, I dont think that it's really pleasant. So haters gonna hate and I hope you can find peace and feel better about your life soon! (:
