Chapter 743, When Shamelessness Knows No Bounds

Translator: Silavin

 

“*Siii!* It’s actually someone from the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty!”

 

“No wonder he’s so powerful!”

 

When they heard those four words, ‘Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’, quite a few people in the camp sucked in a sharp breath, their hearts filling with relief. If this powerful individual were to remain in the same camp as them, their safety would undoubtedly increase substantially.

 

“Joining your camp is naturally possible, but…”

 

Observing the crowd’s reaction, a trace of cold intent flashed through Xia Baquan’s eyes.

 

The Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty belonged to the ranks of high-tier Imperial Dynasties! If one could establish good relations with Xia Baquan, perhaps they might even gain access to Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’s leading figures. Moreover, following in Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty to pick up minor opportunities was a possibility.

 

“However, what?” Hearing Xia Baquan’s words, Lin Zihei’s brow furrowed as he hastily enquired. The people in the camp also looked toward Xia Baquan with a trace of anticipation.

 

Seeing Xia Baquan’s demeanour, an ill foreboding surged within Qin Yichen’s heart.

 

[As I thought.]

 

In the next instant, Xia Baquan spoke with a hint of disdain. “It’s nothing much. I simply have no desire to shelter those who’ve relied on luck to reach this place.”

 

Following Xia Baquan’s gaze, everyone’s eyes fell upon Qin Yichen, merely at Peak Stage Martial King, stationed in the camp’s most inconspicuous location. Immediately, traces of revulsion surfaced in their expressions.

 

“Drive him out!”

 

“This sort of person remaining in the camp serves no purpose whatsoever. Who knows what bloody good fortune he stumbled upon to make it this far!”

 

To secure Xia Baquan’s presence, hushed rebukes immediately rang out. Were it not for their concern about Demonic Beasts discovering this location, someone would likely have already moved to act.

 

Even Lin Zihei, the original leader amongst the camp’s people, furrowed his brow. Between a Peak Stage Martial King and the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty, anyone would know which to choose. He was not someone with an indecisive temperament. His only hesitation stemmed from certain misgivings in his heart.

 

“Heh, what’s this? Your Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty accepted Spirit Seeds, yet under the pressure of the beast tide, you openly abandoned everyone in the gathering place. Are you afraid I’ll speak of it?”

 

Facing those revulsed gazes, Qin Yichen smiled with casual indifference.

 

Hearing these words, the expressions of everyone in the camp immediately changed!

 

A gathering place contained at least a hundred-odd people. The Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty had actually abandoned them without regard for reputation?

 

Human hearts harbour treachery. If the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty truly acted as he described, then upon encountering dangerous circumstances again, one might very well become cannon fodder for him!

 

“If you don’t know the truth of the matter, don’t speak carelessly. I’ll give you three breaths of time. Leave this place immediately!”

 

Seeing the wariness in everyone’s eyes, Xia Baquan’s brow furrowed as he coldly berated Qin Yichen.

 

“If someone’s leaving, you can leave yourself. I have no intention of leaving.” Qin Yichen glanced at him, speaking lightly, without the slightest intention of rising.

 

Hearing these practically shameless words, the faces of everyone in the camp darkened.

 

Although what he said might possibly be true, to increase the camp’s security, anyone would abandon a Martial King and choose Xia Baquan, who was at Mid Stage Martial Emperor!

 

“Oh, by the way, when I get nervous, I tend to shout loudly. You people best not threaten me.” Just as everyone prepared to forcibly throw Qin Yichen out, he suddenly added this unexpected statement, causing everyone to freeze in place.

 

Night was about to descend. If he truly acted as he claimed and created some great commotion, the camp’s occupants would experience a truly spectacular evening!

 

This was the core region. If Demonic Beasts discovered them and triggered a beast tide, at least half the camp’s people would be buried alongside them!

 

“*Ptui!* Shameless!”

 

“How brazen!”

 

Each expert glared at Qin Yichen with eyes practically breathing fire, while hushed angry rebukes continuously emerged.

 

However, what left them somewhat speechless was that those entering this place were fundamentally all geniuses possessing their own pride. Yet this Martial King youth before them seemed like an aberration!

 

Facing sentence after sentence of rebuke, he displayed not the slightest trace of anger. Rather, he listened quietly with a smiling expression, as though everyone was not cursing him, but rather praising him!

 

A tree without bark will inevitably perish; a person sufficiently shameless becomes invincible!

 

These words of profound significance were finally comprehended by the crowd at this moment.

 

Yet despite their bellies full of fury, no one dared move first. After all, although the latter was merely at Peak Stage Martial King, his ability to reach this place surely indicated he had more than luck. He certainly had trump cards in reserve.

 

No one could guarantee silencing this thick-skinned fellow completely before eliminating him.

 

If they failed to resolve matters in the first instance, should the latter desperately take them down with him…

 

Facing Qin Yichen’s shameless words, Xia Baquan’s chest tightened with frustration. Although he found Qin Yichen extremely displeasing, clearly, at this moment, employing violence was not an option.

 

Finally, Xia Baquan walked with heavy steps to a position roughly ten metres opposite Qin Yichen and sat down, his tiger-like eyes glaring viciously at the latter, as though attempting to determine precisely how thick that face actually was.

 

However, Qin Yichen, having dealt with Ye Liangchen for so long, was destined to disappoint him.

 

Facing his murderous gaze, Qin Yichen paid no attention whatsoever. He even slightly narrowed his eyes, leaning against the camp’s railing without the slightest trace of embarrassment, his expression containing his complete comfort!

 

Regarding, everyone ground their teeth in hatred, yet could do nothing…

 

And as this minor interlude quietened, the final trace of radiance in the sky finally vanished from sight. The oppressive weight of night slowly descended.

 

Under this oppression, the beast roars from distant reaches became exceedingly violent. An intensely uncomfortable Evil Energy began permeating the world.

 

Facing this Evil Energy, the expressions of everyone in the camp became solemn. They then carefully circulated their Yuan Energy to resist its erosion.

 

Those capable of entering the core region were not novices. They understood profoundly what one became after this Evil Energy corrupted them!

 

Yet beneath this ferocious Evil Energy, a smile curved Qin Yichen’s lips. His body trembled slightly as Yuan Energy surfaced across his form. However, unlike others, this Yuan Energy was not resisting the Evil Energy at all. It was concealing the disturbance created by his absorption of World Energy!

 

Others could only resist this Evil Energy through consumption, expending their reserves. Only an aberration like Qin Yichen harboured no fear of this Evil Energy whatsoever. Rather, he continuously absorbed the World Energy that had become even more concentrated due to the Evil Energy’s surging presence!

 

Which was to say: while others could not operate at full capacity, Qin Yichen not only suffered no depletion but constantly maintained his peak condition!

 

For him, this undoubtedly represented the greatest advantage he has here!
