After Little Fairy's confirmation, the range of this crystal vein was not small.
Zi Chen returned to the high ground again. He looked at the hidden city and fell into deep thought.
If it was just an ordinary vein, he would not hesitate to give it up because it might mean initiating a war with the Lost Clan.
It was obviously not worth it.
However, this was a vein that might be second only to the Soul-gathering Crystal. Its huge value forced Zi Chen to think deeply about it, even if he had to take the risk.
At first, his plan was to dig deep in other places and then enter from underground, just like when he first discovered the Celestial Crystal vein.
However, this idea was rejected by Little Fairy as soon as it appeared.
Because the opportunity was under this city, once it was excavated, it would inevitably cause a great commotion. Little Fairy even guessed that there seemed to be a deeper meaning behind the city's appearance here.
This put Zi Chen in a dilemma. It was obviously impossible to give up. Could he just violate the agreement and directly start a war?
At that time, maybe all the Lost Clan would attack the Holy Thunder Clan. At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses.
"Why don't we give up for the time being?"
Zi Chen said, "When others come here, these Lost Clan will naturally leave, just like in the periphery."
When they were in the periphery, Zi Chen had encountered a small settlement of the Lost Clan. In the end, as everyone went deeper, the Lost Clan evacuated on their own.
"What if they don't leave, or someone else gets here first?" Little Fairy had her own worries.
Zi Chen said, "In that case, why don't you devour a part of it first?"
Little Fairy rolled her eyes at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen stayed here for three days, but he still had no idea. He didn't even want to go in and explore.
After thinking about it again and again, he decided to leave this place first.
He had delayed for too long. If he couldn't find other resources to mine, then he would have to bear the losses.
After all, during this time, he had gained nothing, but the people of the Holy Thunder Clan had been stationed inside.
Just as Zi Chen was about to leave, a light suddenly flew from the city below.
Zi Chen immediately held his breath and hid.
That person appeared in the sky. He looked around and smiled. "Since you're here, why don't you show yourself?"
It was a somewhat familiar voice.
Zi Chen removed his concealment technique and stood up.
Standing in the sky was the leader who had ordered the retreat last time.
"So it's Chief Zi Chen. What brings you here?
Do you want to change your mind and attack us? "Teth smiled.
Zi Chen patted the dust off his body and said, "You must be joking. How should I address you, brother?"
"Teth."
Tes looked back at the city in the forest and said, "Shall we go in and have a seat?"
"Is it convenient?"
"It's convenient, but I'm afraid that Chief Zi Chen won't dare to go."
Zi Chen laughed and said, "Let's go take a look."
Zi Chen followed Tes, heading towards the large city below.
This was indeed a city of trees. Furthermore, the surrounding trees had the ability to conceal their auras.
After truly entering this place, Zi Chen's perception became even sharper. He discovered that the Bereaved living here were all at the level of Sacred Spirits.
Every single one of them.
His expression changed.
Teth smiled and said, "This can be considered one of our secret military bases. Those who live here are all warriors.
Chief Zi Chen, you suddenly came here to kill us? "
"Chief Teth must be joking. I also admire the strength of the Ancient Bereaved," Zi Chen said.
Teth immediately shook his head and said, "It's one thing for others to say this, but why do I feel ashamed when it comes from Chief Zi Chen's mouth?"
The two who were supposed to be enemies came to a castle in such a polite manner.
Perhaps the surrounding people had been purposely dismissed, but there were only the two of them in the large castle.
After taking a seat, Teth said, "I won't beat around the bush with Chief and will ask directly. May I know why Chief has come here? Do you really want to destroy our team?"
Zi Chen looked at Teth and didn't immediately speak.
Teth said, "Chief, you can just say it."
Zi Chen hesitated and said, "In that case, I'll tell you the truth."
Zi Chen pointed at the ground and said, "There are resources we need down there. That's why we came here."
"That's all?"
"Of course!"
Teth said, "I thought Chief was going to attack us."
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "How is that possible?
I already promised before that I wouldn't take the initiative to start a fight with you. "
Teth looked at Zi Chen and said, "I want to know how Chief will deal with the resources here."
Zi Chen said helplessly, "What else can we do? Wait. We'll come again after you leave. Perhaps we'll have to fight with others then."
Teth said, "Then how will you make us leave?"
"What?" Zi Chen was stunned.
"What if we leave and are willing to leave this place to Chief?" Teth asked again.
"That's impossible, right?"
Zi Chen said, "You live here. Why would you leave for no reason?"
Teth said, "Didn't Chief say that we'll have to leave sooner or later? Instead of being forced to flee in the end, wouldn't Chief owe us a favor if we leave now?"
Zi Chen's expression changed. "Are you serious?"
Teth said seriously, "How would I dare joke about this kind of thing?"
Zi Chen nodded and said, "Tell me, what kind of price do you want me to pay?"
This time, it was Teth's turn to be stunned.
Zi Chen said, "I believe that you won't do us a favor for free. What do you want me to pay? Or should I say, what do we have to pay?"
Teth suddenly laughed, and it was a very happy laugh. "It's so convenient to deal with smart people.
We want to get the truth from Chief Zi Chen. Last time, Chief said that you could arrange for us to go to your living area. Is that true? "
Zi Chen said without hesitation, "Of course it's true!"
Teth said, "There won't be any difficulty or risk?"
Zi Chen thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, there shouldn't be any difficulty or risk. But as for the specifics, we'll have to go back to the clan and discuss it. But it shouldn't be a big problem."
Teth said, "What if I say that our condition is that Chief has to arrange a new place for those who leave until they're satisfied? Is Chief willing?"
Zi Chen was very surprised. He didn't expect the other party to make such a request.
"Or, let our people go to your world and see if that place is suitable for us to live in."
