Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, everyone without a second word immediately crushed their Jade Slips and teleported out of the secret realm.
With the arrival of the first team, Lin Chen and Xia Wanxin then continued to be ambushed by other teams, one after another.
Time flew by, and five days had passed, during which Lin Chen and Xia Wanxin encountered many martial artists who had come to subdue them, especially those targeting Lin Chen.
Upon meeting them, those martial artists would recite the same lines that Lin Chen had heard countless times along the way, telling Lin Chen to hand over the treasures he possessed to spare his life.
And the result was predictable.
Through these battles over time, Lin Chen and Xia Wanxin gradually developed a tacit understanding. All the command tokens they obtained were split equally. The purple-robed maiden’s purpose for coming was to take care of Xia Wanxin, so she didn’t want any command tokens for herself.
During this time, both of them had improved their cultivation. Xia Wanxin showed signs of a breakthrough to the First Level of the Reverting Void Realm, but there seemed to be some restrictions in this space, so she was unable to make the breakthrough.
Lin Chen’s cultivation, however, had broken through to the Second Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.
Xia Wanxin was immensely shocked by Lin Chen’s rapid cultivation speed.
But little did she know that if Lin Chen hadn’t been aiming to lay down an invincible foundation, he could have easily broken through to the Heaven-reaching Realm Fifth Layer.
Gradually, both Lin Chen and Xia Wanxin each had nearly a thousand command tokens on them.
The two of them were well aware that there were only about twelve thousand martial artists participating in the secret realm conference, so with the number of command tokens they had now, they should be able to obtain a fairly good score.
However, they didn’t think about stopping. They wanted to see just how many more martial artists would come looking for trouble.
"Lin Chen, have you noticed that those who come to rob us... oh no, those who come to rob you, all these guys are just average in cultivation and none of them are among the Heavenly Prides who broke into the higher levels of the Trial Tower."
Xia Wanxin noticed a pattern and couldn’t help but speak to Lin Chen.
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Chen’s lips, and he nodded.
Lin Chen had indeed noticed this a long time ago, and he understood that it wasn’t that the Heavenly Prides hadn’t found him, but that they were waiting, waiting for these martial artists to wear down Lin Chen’s strength, waiting for the moment when Lin Chen was at his weakest to deliver a fatal blow.
"Lin Chen, where shall we go next to continue seizing treasures?"
Xia Wanxin came to Lin Chen’s side, her eyes filled with excitement.
As a princess of a nation, she had never thought she would face others with such a mindset.
She had always been high above, never wanting for anything. She was used to being the one who bestowed treasures upon others, or having others voluntarily present them to her. The idea of others coming to plunder their treasures and then them counter-plundering was something that had never occurred to Xia Wanxin before.
So, the gradual action of seizing treasures seemed to awaken some instinct in Xia Wanxin, making her fall in love with the thrill of it.
And what made it most important was that she was doing it together with Lin Chen.
In fact, for most of the treasures, Xia Wanxin didn’t care, as she didn’t need them. This update ıs available on noveⅼfire.net
So with the exception of the command tokens, which Lin Chen would ask to split with her, she didn’t ask for any of the treasures, nor did Lin Chen offer them to her.
But Xia Wanxin didn’t mind, she only cared about the ten days she spent with Lin Chen, which seemed like the happiest time of her life that she had never experienced before.
Because she was so carefree and joyful, it seemed that during these ten days, Xia Wanxin truly let go of her facade and lived for herself.
Lin Chen sat down by a pool, lit a fire, and began to roast a piece of Demon Beast Meat he had killed in the secret realm.
Xia Wanxin, puzzled, sensed with her Divine Soul that there was a group of teams ten miles away.
However, since Lin Chen didn’t wish to go, she refrained from mentioning it.
Soon night fell, and Lin Chen went to sleep with resounding snores.
The actions of Lin Chen today left Xia Wanxin very perplexed.
In the end, unable to figure it out, Xia Wanxin approached Lin Chen, wanting to ask him what was going on with him today.
However, just as she got close to Lin Chen and stretched out her hand to touch him, Lin Chen suddenly woke up with a jolt and pinned her to the ground.
"Lin Chen, what are you doing, what do you think you’re doing to me!?"
