Chapter 432

Outside, the chaotic battle was still ongoing. Many Yu Skies were dying. In this place, life was always the most worthless.

After Zi Chen entered the ore vein, he headed straight for the depths.

"What? You're going to find the Yuan Stones?" Everyone was startled, clearly not understanding.

"Don't just stand there. Take me there." Zi Chen turned around and shouted.

"Why are you looking for the Yuan Stones?" They were stunned, still not understanding.

"Of course it's to take them away. Are you going to wait for them to come in and rob us?"

Zi Chen glared at them. "Are we going to do the same as them? Leave the things there and wait for them to come in and take them away?"

"This is a ore vein. With all our Yu Skies here, they won't be able to come in."

"What if they come in?"

They were speechless. One of them hesitated. "But the Setting Sun Mountain has rules. We can't touch the Yuan Stones."

"I know there are rules, but special circumstances require special treatment. Do you want our Yuan Stones to be taken away by them?"

"Of course not. But if we touch the Yuan Stones, we'll lose our heads. Let's just wait and see." They were still hesitant.

"If we don't take away the Yuan Stones, they'll come in. At that time, just like how I stole their Daluo Silver Crystals, they'll use the same method to steal our Yuan Stones. Rather than leaving them there for others to steal, why don't we put them away first and return them after the battle is over." Zi Chen patiently explained.

The few of them were deep in thought. Obviously, they felt that what Zi Chen said made sense. However, there were clear rules in the Sunset Mountain, so they were caught in a dilemma.

"How about this? Since I've obtained the Daluo Silver Crystal this time, it can be considered a great merit. I'll take the Primordial Stones. If it's a great crime of beheading, then it'll be even." Zi Chen finally spoke.

The others exchanged a glance, their expressions changing. One of them said, "But little brother, you've done a great deed this time. If it's gone like this, then …"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Let's go. The brothers outside are still fighting. If it's a crime, then I'll accept it. But if I'm lucky enough to get two great merits, then I won't forget you."

"Alright then."

Since Zi Chen had already said so, the others had no choice but to agree. Furthermore, they all had their own thoughts and felt that it was impossible for their merits to offset their demerits. It should be two great merits.

"Everyone, follow me."

One of the people escorting Zi Chen was from the mine, and was familiar with the area. He led the group deeper into the mine. During this time, they encountered a few other cultivators who were flying through the air. Because they were all familiar with each other, they were able to proceed smoothly until they reached the location where the primordial stones were stored.

When Zi Chen saw the piles of shiny Primordial Stones, his eyes almost popped out. Moreover, he had a look of disbelief. He had only said a few words, and he really came here.

Following his gaze, Zi Chen discovered several piles of glittering Primal Stones, emitting dense Spiritual Qi. Furthermore, he also discovered that there was a pile of Primal Stones that were actually mid-grade Primal Stones. At a glance, there were more than a million of them.

This was a real fortune. Zi Chen's saliva almost flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

"Little brother, this is the place where we put the Primordial Stones. Except for the leader, no one can touch it." The late-stage cultivator who led the way before explained.

"Alright, then I'll put it away first."

Zi Chen nodded, and a light flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and was ready to take away the Primordial Stones.

"What are you doing?"

But at this moment, a cold voice sounded, and a Flying cultivator walked in from another cave.

This was a thin middle-aged man with a mustache, and there was obvious hostility in his eyes.

"Si Ming, you came at the right time. This little brother wants to take away these Primordial Stones." The late-stage Flying cultivator spoke again.

"Take away the Primordial Stones, Liu Xiongchuan, how dare you. Have you forgotten the rules of Sunset Mountain? How dare you touch these Primordial Stones? Do you want to die?" The Flying cultivator named Si Ming's face was cold.

The next moment, rays of light flashed, and more than a dozen Flying cultivators appeared. Each of them had a cold expression, and there was hostility in their eyes.

"Si Ming, what is the meaning of this? Are you going to attack me?" Liu Xiongchuan's face was very ugly.

"I was just about to ask you what is the meaning of this. Bringing these people here, are you going to take advantage of the chaos to steal the Primordial Stones?" Si Ming asked coldly, and the hostility in his eyes was even stronger.

"Si Ming, what kind of person do you think I am? We are just temporarily keeping them to prevent the people from the Barbarian Bull Village from stealing them." Liu Xiongchuan said with a face full of grievance.

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this. I will protect the Primordial Stones. Now you better leave, or don't blame us for being ruthless." Si Ming said coldly.

Facing the stubborn Si Ming, Liu Xiongchuan was helpless. He looked at Zi Chen for help.

Si Ming's appearance surprised Zi Chen, and Zi Chen didn't like his stubborn character.

However, since he dared to come here, he naturally had a plan. As his eyes flashed, he came up with a plan.

With a flip of his hand, a dazzling silver light appeared. Zi Chen looked at Si Ming. "Do you recognize this?"

Seeing the silver light in Zi Chen's hand, Si Ming's pupils shrank, and his expression changed. "This is Daluo Silver Crystal! How did you get it?!"

At this moment, it wasn't just Si Ming's expression that changed. Even the eyes of the people guarding Zi Chen lit up. They had only heard Zi Chen say that he had obtained the Daluo Silver Crystal, but they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. This was also their first time seeing it.

"At least your eyes aren't bad."

Zi Chen said coldly. "Do you know how this came about? We exchanged our lives for it. The lives of many brothers. They helped me charge into the mine and took away these Daluo Silver Crystals."

"You really got it! You really succeeded!" Si Ming was very excited. The only thing in his eyes was the Daluo Silver Crystals.

Zi Chen inwardly cursed at her stubborn brain, and his voice became even colder. "Do you understand what I just said?"

The iciness in his words made Si Ming shudder involuntarily. He nodded subconsciously. "I understand, I understand."

"What the hell do you understand?!"

Zi Chen's expression changed. He suddenly roared, "If you understood, you wouldn't be standing in front of me, and you definitely wouldn't be just looking at the Daluo Silver Crystals in my hand."

Si Ming was stunned. He looked at Zi Chen in confusion. The others were also puzzled.

"Put these origin stones here in piles. If the Barbarian Bull Stronghold's people charge in, they'll snatch them all. Just like with the Daluo Silver Crystals, there won't be a single one left."

Zi Chen shouted, "Since you said you understood what I meant, why are you still standing in front of me?"

"But the Setting Sun Mountain has rules." This time, Si Ming really did understand the meaning behind Zi Chen's words. His expression became hesitant.

"Rules are dead, people are alive."

Zi Chen said angrily. "So many of our brothers are fighting outside to protect this place, to protect these origin stones. For these origin stones, they can even throw away their lives. But what are you doing?"

"We're also protecting the origin stones." Si Ming said.

"You're not protecting, you're waiting. Waiting for all our brothers outside to be killed, waiting for them to die one by one."

Si Ming was dissatisfied and shouted, "Bullshit, we're protecting the origin stones. We don't want them to die either."

"Haha, what a fancy excuse."

Zi Chen's face became gloomy. He pointed at Si Ming's nose and said, "You keep saying that you're protecting the origin stones. Then let me ask you, if they all die, do you expect the few of you to be able to protect these origin stones?"

Si Ming didn't speak. If everyone outside died, they naturally wouldn't be able to protect these origin stones.

Zi Chen sneered. "Why aren't you speaking? Are you trying to say that we'll protect these origin stones even if we die?"

Si Ming continued to be silent.

"Haha, if they all die, you naturally won't be able to live. But it doesn't matter if you die, but you'll lose the origin stones."

"Look at you, a dignified late-stage Flight Evasion with powerful combat strength. Instead of going outside to kill the enemy, you're actually hiding here. And you, all of you are so strong, go out and kill the enemy. Why do you have to wait for the other brothers to die?" Zi Chen roared, as if he expected better from them.

"We're protecting the origin stones."

Si Ming's confidence was no longer enough. What he used to think was the most sacred thing, but today he found that it was full of guilt.

After Zi Chen said so, their protection had become meaningless.

"Now, you still have the face to talk about protection." Zi Chen was angry and strode forward. Si Ming subconsciously dodged, revealing a large pile of origin stones behind him.

Zi Chen, on the other hand, waved his hand and the piles of Origin Stones disappeared.

"Their purpose is origin stones, not just a simple person. Now that the origin stones are gone, you go out and kill the enemy."

Zi Chen pointed at himself and said, "As for me, I'm merely at the early stage of the Zephyr Realm. No one will pay attention to me, so I'll protect the Daluo Silver Crystals and Primordial Stones.

While they were still in a daze, Zi Chen took away all the origin stones, then turned and left.

"You took away the origin stones and didn't stay here. What are you going out for?" Si Ming asked, puzzled.

"If I don't go outside, am I going to wait for them to come in and kill me and take everything? No wonder you were assigned here. With your IQ, you can't do anything else." Zi Chen sneered.

"Yes, Si Ming, if this little brother goes out, no one will pay attention to him, and once the people of the Barbarian Bull Village rush in, they'll be empty-handed. At that time, there will be no return." Liu Xiongchuan timely said.

Si Ming lowered his head, feeling that he was really stupid today. He was despised by an early-stage Flight Evasion expert, and he had no room to refute.

"Let's go, what are you waiting for? Why don't you kill the enemy with everyone? Do you really want to wait for them to die?"

With a good eloquence, Zi Chen appeared in the mine with all the people guarding the origin stones. They walked out of the mine and killed the people of the Barbarian Bull Village.

Zi Chen also said that he wanted to kill the enemy. His whole body emitted a bright golden light, and his fighting spirit rose, which scared the others.
