Chapter 2217

Hotwell's request stunned Zi Chen. He had been wondering why the other party was not even tempted by Saint Crystals, let alone ten pieces. No great force could refuse such a temptation.

Even the Hotwell family, the master of the Star Road, would never say that they would not be interested in ten Saints.

However, Zi Chen could tell that Hotwell really didn't think highly of them. But when he mentioned Zambu Haolin and Brilliant Light, Hotwell's eyes lit up. It was a blazing greed.

Obviously, this was what he was really interested in.

So, Zi Chen was stunned.

Even Bei Xi, Kang Hong, and the two Saints brought by Hotwell were stunned. They did not expect the other party to make such a useless request.

No one was a fool. They could all see Hotwell's true intentions from his expression at the moment. Giving resources to improve his strength was simply nonsense. He just wanted to take the two women away and make them his exclusive property.

Zi Chen was stunned for three seconds. Unexpectedly, he did not get angry. Instead, he asked doubtfully, "This is Sir's request, but this matter …"

Hotwell turned back and looked at Zi Chen with a disdainful smile, "This matter is a big deal in your eyes. Losing your life is a trivial matter, and it may even cause the death of others. But for me, it's just a matter of a word. As long as you hand the two of them over to me, this matter will be over."

Zi Chen lowered his head, looking very hesitant.

Hotwell sneered, "Life and death are in your hands."

After pondering for a moment, Zi Chen cupped his fists and said with a troubled expression, "To be honest, I paid a great price for the ten Saint Crystals. Moreover, Brilliant and Zanbu Haolin are not my people, so I can't make the decision for them. Sir, can you …"

Hotwell snorted in dissatisfaction and interrupted Zi Chen, "I can give up the ten Saint Crystals, but I must take those two people away. I don't care what method you use, but if you don't want the family to pursue this matter, I must take them away."

"Sir, can you give me some time to consider this matter?"

"One day. I'm only giving you one day."

Hotwell said coldly. Thinking of the two women in his mind, his heart was also incomparably hot. His eyes became blazing again, and greed emerged from the bottom of his eyes.

Such a beautiful woman, and a Saint at that, seemed to be rare. Hotwell, who was in a state of fantasy, did not notice Zi Chen, Bei Xi, and Kang Hong's departure.

He believed that Zi Chen would definitely not reject the offer of two women in exchange for his safety. The two Saints also heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this matter was over.

…

…

When he returned to his room, a group of people were already waiting in the living room. After seeing Zi Chen, Xing Chen immediately asked, "How did the discussion go?"

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "It didn't go well. I offered ten Saint Crystals but he refused."

Xing Chen was shocked. "There's actually such a person in this world?"

"But he specifically asked for Dazzling and Zambiu Haolin."

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"That damn thing, I knew long ago that he wasn't a good person. The way he looked at Sir Dazzling before was strange," Huan Kai said angrily.

Zambiu Haolin's face suddenly turned pale. She did not expect the other party to make such a request. On the other hand, Dazzling's expression did not change much. This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"You agreed," Xing Chen looked at Zi Chen and asked. Everyone else also looked at Zi Chen.

"I said I would consider it when I came back."

Dazzling's expression did not change, but his mood became very low. Considering meant there was room for leeway. Was he going to repeat the same mistake again?

Zambiu Haolin's expression changed, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

"Then what do you think?" Xing Chen asked again.

"I'm still thinking about it. I haven't decided yet, so I'm not going to ask you."

Zi Chen turned his head to look at Zambiu Haolin and asked, "You are more familiar with the Star Path. Do you think my situation is bad?"

Then, Zi Chen told her what he had done since he came to the Star Path. Although she knew some of it, she was still very surprised to hear that even the Luo family of the Rakshasa Star Field had been wiped out by Zi Chen.

Seeing that Zi Chen's serious expression did not seem to be joking, Zambiu Haolin also thought about it seriously and said, "The other things may not be serious, but the Evil Star Field is very serious. The attitude of the Star Path toward the cultivators of the life stars is unpredictable. Those overlords naturally have a great prejudice against the cultivators of the life stars because of what happened to your teacher. Now that we have proven the existence of the Supervising Emissary, they must know about this matter, but they didn't do anything about it. Obviously, they have tacitly agreed."

After a pause, Zambiu Haolin continued, "Tacitly agreeing to this matter has proved their attitude toward the cultivators of the life stars. Obviously, they don't want them to continue walking on the Star Path. Death is the best ending. However, this time, what you did will undoubtedly affect the situation of this star field. I believe that in the future, more cultivators from the life stars will come out from here and enter the Star Path to find opportunities. Do you think your situation is bad?"

Zi Chen pondered for a moment and said, "If you put it that way, it should be very bad."

"It's more than bad. It's simply not worth regretting your death," Zambiu Haolin said.

"However, he didn't pursue such a bad thing. Not only did he not want me to die, but he also wanted the two of you. He was even willing to give up ten Saint Crystals. Why is that?"

Not only Zi Chen was puzzled by this question, but the others were also puzzled.

"Could it be that he knows that Sir is too strong, so he just wants to leave after getting some benefits and then bring experts to kill Sir?" Huan Kai murmured.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "That's not very likely. Before he came, he should have already known everything, including my combat strength."

"In that case, it can only be explained that this matter is really not a big deal to him. It proves that his position in the family is very high, and he can say whatever he wants," Xing Chen said.

"Would a person with a very high position who can say whatever he wants be like this?" Zi Chen asked back.

"What do you mean?" Everyone did not understand what the other party meant.

"You've seen Doff Hill of the Doff Family. Although he's a little crazy, he's not so arrogant. He seems to act ruthlessly, but there's a reason for it. Do you believe that such a person would give up ten Saint Crystals for two trivial women and end this matter so hastily?"

Everyone fell silent.

"Few of the disciples of the great families with real potential are this kind of playboy. They all have great potential, and the real playboys are almost never the core of their families. Such a big matter is related to the future of the Star Field. I believe it's absolutely not something that can be easily resolved, but he doesn't seem to care. There must be a reason."

Everyone could guess this, but what was the specific reason?

Zi Chen smiled and said, "No matter what the reason is, we should take the initiative to take a look instead of being so passive and restricted."

"What do you mean?" Xing Chen and the others looked at Zi Chen one after another.

"That guy's attitude is too arrogant. I don't like it. Besides, why should I let him take my people away?" The smile on Zi Chen's face disappeared and his tone became cold. "Bei Xi Kang Hong."

"Yes." Bei Xi Kang Hong stood up.

"Take some people to the residence of the Shadow Guards. Kill everyone, including the family members of the two Saints, but remember to bring back their Souls. I want to search their Souls."

"Yes."

Bei Xi Kang Hong was shocked by Zi Chen's actions, but he did not raise any objections. In his heart, of course, he did not want his master to be taken away.

"Send a few more people. I don't want anyone to leak the news," Zi Chen deliberately reminded.

Bei Xi Kang Hong nodded and left.

Everyone else looked at Zi Chen in a daze, especially Zan-Bu Hao Lin. The expression on her face was indescribably complicated. She was surprised, touched, and worried.

"What do you mean?" Xing Chen looked at Zi Chen in surprise.

"Perhaps he does have a powerful force behind him, but he's underestimating me if he thinks he can scare me with just one person. Not to mention two women, even if he wants two men, it's absolutely impossible. He can just send an army."

Zi Chen's words had already made his attitude clear. The other Saints nodded. They were not willing to be controlled like this. Wasn't it just a battle? They were not afraid.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Sir, Sir Will summons you."

Zi Chen smiled coldly. As the door opened, his expression had returned to normal. He looked at the Shadow Guard Saint behind the guard and said, "Didn't you say you would give me a day to think about it? Why did you summon me?"

"Sir said he can't wait and wants your answer now. If you agree now, this matter will end. If you don't, then he will turn around and leave. I believe it won't be long before the Huo Te Clan's army comes and razes this place to the ground," the Saint said indifferently.

"Alright, then let's go see Sir Will together."

The two walked towards Will's residence. After seeing each other, Will said coldly, "What do you think?"

"I'm still thinking," Zi Chen replied.

"I don't have so much time to wait. Give me an answer now. Either agree or be destroyed," Hotwell said impatiently.

"Then I choose not to agree," Zi Chen said indifferently.

"There is no such choice, unless you choose to be destroyed." Hotwell looked coldly at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Not agreeing doesn't mean I will be destroyed."

With that, Zi Chen took out the Cosmos Origin Cauldron and released a ray of energy, forming a light shield to seal this place.

"Zi Chen, don't mess around. It's just two women. Do you have the heart to see the others be destroyed with you?"

The two Saints knew what had happened and their expressions changed. One of them shouted at Zi Chen.

"I, Zi Chen, will never be threatened. Not to mention two women, I won't even give you two Heaven Realm experts. The Huo Te Clan, right? I want to see what's left of you after the battle back then."

Zi Chen's expression became extremely cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Xing Chen, Brilliant and the others turned into rays of light and appeared beside Zi Chen, their gazes cold.

When the arrogant Hotwell saw this scene, he finally put away his arrogant expression.
