The Human Emperor (200-400)

C340: Great Danger! (1)

A light wind whispered, and the tree leaves rustled in reply.

Seated behind a crimson maple tree, Wang Chong was driving his cultivation. A surge of blood-colored Origin Energy gushed through his body in a unique circulation pathway before eventually being deposited in the depths of his dantian.

This blood-colored Origin Energy didn't belong to Wang Chong. It was obtained from those bandits through his Little Yinyang Art.

In these days spent eradicating the bandits, Wang Chong had been able to absorb Origin Energy from them. With this source of nourishment, Wang Chong was swiftly growing stronger over the days, and even his Little Yinyang Art had broken through its bottleneck.

Wang Chong could clearly feel that the amount of energy he could draw out using the Little Yinyang Art was significantly larger than before.

However, one pity was that Wang Chong had yet to reach True Martial realm, so he couldn't tap into this energy. Thus, he deposited all of the energy he had accumulated into a hidden spot beneath his dantian.

This was a secret art for storing Origin Energy that Wang Chong learned in his previous life.

Should any unexpected situation occur before him, he would be able to use this energy storage to tide him through the danger. This was particularly essential to him at this moment, given that his cultivation was still low.

"Lord!"

Just as Wang Chong was driving his cultivation beneath the tree, a loud voice suddenly sounded out. He opened his eyes, only to see a sight of wreckage in the bandit camp before him. A Great Tang cavalryman walked up to him with a sheathed sword hanging at his waist.

"The battle has ended. Bai xiaojie has captured a bandit, and she is currently looking for you, saying that she has something she needs to discuss with you," the cavalryman reported respectfully.

"Oh?" Wang Chong's eyebrows shot up. Naturally, Bai xiaojie referred to Bai Siling. As Bai Siling was a lady, Wang Chong's platoon had been privately addressing her as Bai xiaojie.

Bai Siling wouldn't call him without any reason. Since she was inviting him over, something must have happened.

"Understood. I'll head over now."

Wang Chong retrieved a sachet from his waist and opened it, revealing a bag of yellow beans. He placed it before Little Shadow and patted the horse’s neck. Watching for a moment as his horse delightfully munched on the beans, he turned around and followed the cavalryman's lead.

Passing through the multiple posts, Wang Chong finally met Bai Siling in the very depths of the camp. The young mistress of the Bai Clan was seated on a chair cloaked with a layer of tigerskin. Standing around her were eight cavalrymen with swords hanging by their waists as well. Not a single one of them spoke a word, and an air of tension hung in the room.

"What's wrong?" Wang Chong asked with a smile.

It was rare to see Bai Siling with such a grave demeanor.

"A problem has cropped up. This fellow is the chief of this den, ask him yourself." Bai Siling raised her snowy hands and pointed to the bound man in front of her.

"Oh?"

Wang Chong turned his attention to the man kneeling on the ground. The other party seemed to be in his thirties, standing at around five chi or so. Unexpectedly, he carried an air of chivalry about him.

(1.7m)

How rare! To think that there would be such a man among the bandits!, Wang Chong thought, a hint of astonishment flashing across his eyes.
