For these people, taking the risk was to make a fortune.
If they could get out of here alive, they would be able to sell whatever they wanted to. It would be enough for them to live without worries for the rest of their lives.
Under the temptation of such huge profits, it was no surprise that these people were willing to take the risk.
This is mentioned in Capital.
Marx had said that if capital had a fifty percent profit, it would take the risk; if it had a hundred percent profit, it would trample on all the laws of the world; if it had three hundred percent profit, it would commit any crime, even the risk of being hanged.
Profit is a double-edged sword.
Even if it was a success, it would still be a profit.
Tomb robbing was a lucrative business.
Much more than three hundred percent.
As a result, it was not surprising that these people were willing to give their lives up for such huge profits.
These people did it for the profits, while Shen Qi and He Yi Ning did it to save their families.
Therefore, He Yi Ning's men were all very well-trained, and stood to the side.
Charing had no interest in the antiques. All he wanted was to rush to the City of the Sky and get the secrets of eternal life.
The others weren't interested in eternal life, so they stood to the side and watched the commotion.
Sure enough, Shen Qi's worries became reality.
The tombs robbers who were crazily robbing suddenly started to scream one after another!
Shen Qi quickly raised her head, only to see that all of their bodies were suddenly set ablaze.
A blue inferno suddenly appeared on the bodies of these people without any warning.
The pain of their souls being burned caused them to let out wails of pain.
Shen Qi really wanted to close her eyes and not look at those tragic conditions.
However, as if she couldn't control her sight, she locked onto the miserable states of those people.
The Hellfire came and went as quickly as it came.
Those people didn't even have time to run away before they were burnt to ashes by the flames.
The other survivors froze in place, stunned by the sight before them.
At this moment, no one said a word.
People die for money, birds die for food.
This was their choice and their destiny.
"How spectacular!" He Yi Ning softly opened his mouth and said: "This is the tomb of the Great Emperor, how can the things here be so easily obtained?"
He Guo Xiang said: "It would be weird if these things were left here without even the slightest bit of protection."
You Qin Yue and Cui Yue Lan did not make a sound, they just raised their heads and looked at Sky City.
Charing's men were already climbing up the ladder.
"Let's go up and take a look as well." He Yi Ning said in a low voice: "Since you're already here, let's go to the end."
The others nodded.
Shen Qi followed He Yi Ning and slowly climbed up the soft stairs.
Fortunately, the floating height of the floating city was not very high. After about ten minutes of walking, Shen Qi finally climbed back up.
Once he landed on the ground, Shen Qi couldn't help but cry out: "It's simply beautiful beyond compare."
The others all nodded in agreement with Shen Qi's evaluation.
It was far more than beautiful!
Looking at the situation from the bottom, there were no clues to be seen.
It wasn't until he stood firmly in the city that he finally understood what fine and beautiful meant.
The City in the Sky was indeed the City in the Sky.
Not only was it floating in the air, more importantly, it was a concentrated city.
There was a residential area, a trading area, an open area, and a very magnificent city gate. Behind the city gate was a high castle.
Although it was very condensed, it was small in size, but it had everything.
Even the trading booths on the street were showing.
"Looks like Charlin is going to the castle." He Yi Ning looked in the direction of Zha Lin's group and said, "We'll also go over to take a look."
He Yi Ning did not believe that the mysterious man would not appear once they had entered this place!
The reason he did not appear was either to wait for the right moment or to not care at all!
With his abilities, he could definitely appear in any corner of the tomb!
He Yi Ning inexplicably believed in this!
Everyone nodded and followed Charin's footsteps, quickly walking in the direction of the castle.
This was an empty city.
Except for the building, it was empty.
The city gates were ajar, and the group of people entered the city unhindered.
Shen Qi raised his hand to touch the city gate. His hand felt warm, it was actually carved out of real jade.
Heavens, how much manpower and material resources would it take to build such a city in the sky!
Under the level of productivity at that time, building such a city in the air must have been the national effort right?
Shen Qi slowly walked forward, while walking, her eyes blurred, and she realized that Zha Lin and his subordinates had all disappeared!
Shen Qi immediately pulled He Yi Ning back, pointed to the front with a face full of fear, and said: "Look, Charing is gone!"
Everyone stopped and looked up.
Sure enough, the group of people in front of him disappeared.
And it disappeared so suddenly.
Charing didn't even have time to type out a signal before he was gone.
"Everyone, be careful. There must be something strange here. " He Guo Xiang said in a low voice: "Yi Ning, don't split up with the rest of us."
He Yi Ning nodded, pulled Shen Qi and quickly retreated into the encirclement.
Shen Qi looked around vigilantly.
It was as if Zha Lin's group had been collectively teleported.
Too sudden.
Teleport?
Could that place be the teleportation location?
Could it be that this castle wasn't the final destination?
It was just a teleportation array?
Shen Qi couldn't help but pat her forehead. Wasn't her imagination a little too rich?
Everyone slowly moved towards the place where Charlin had just disappeared.
Just as he touched that area, Shen Qi suddenly felt his vision blurred.
When he came back to his senses, he found himself on top of a high platform.
The others were gone.
What was going on?
Could that place just now really be a transportation formation?
And everyone was sent to different places?
Shen Qi forced herself to calm down and sat in place, carefully thinking back to what had just happened.
He had been moved the moment he had set foot into that area.
Then the others would probably be in the same situation as him.
However, he wasn't sure where the others had been sent to.
This teleportation formation was probably meant to separate everyone.
Then, why did he teleport here?
Just as Shen Qi was at a loss, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
This shadow was clearly him.
Shen Qi was startled.
He stood up and walked towards the shadow.
However, the mysterious man's expression was extremely fierce as he shouted out, "Shen Qi, you cowardly idiot! You clearly know that You Qin Yue doesn't like you, why are you still sticking by He Yi Ning's side? You already know that she tricked you into entering the tomb to kill you, so why didn't you expose everything in front of He Yi Ning! What are you pretending to be a good person for? Do you really think that you can obtain He Yi Ning's understanding and everything without you saying anything? "
Shen Qi was caught off guard, and the other party caught him off guard.
Shen Qi's face paled.
This shadow was like a different person, exposing the most unbearable part of his heart to the sun.
"Shen Qi, have you forgotten about Zhan Bo?" The mysterious man questioned Shen Qi, "Didn't you love him a lot? Why did you forget about Zhan Bo the moment you met him? "
Shen Qi's face suddenly changed!
"Shen Qi, you are just a person who likes new things and hates old things!" The phantasm pressed forward step by step, pressing forward aggressively.
Shen Qi shouted loudly, "I'm not! I didn't! I haven't forgotten him! But I can't live in memories forever! Yes, I am in love with He Yi Ning! But I'm not averse to the old! It was only after I had tidied up my feelings for Zhan Bo that I fell in love with him! "
"Argument!" The figure took another step forward and stood in front of Shen Qi.
Shen Qi looked at the self that was like her own shadow, forced into retreat by the other party's question.
"You are only a hypocrite. You are only deceiving yourself. You just want others to praise you for being virtuous, meek, and patient! Shen Qi, your nature is only this much! You claim to be a good person, so you want everyone to be satisfied! But have you ever thought that if you wronged yourself, others would like you? Do you really think that just by tolerating every single step, you can bring peace to this world? "Too childish!" The mysterious man continued to press forward, step by step, "Why didn't you resist? Why don't you fight? It's because you're so stupid that you've been bullied ever since you were a kid! "
"No, no!" Shen Qi shouted crazily, "It's not like that! I didn't! I just want to be a good person. I just don't want to worry those who love me! "
"Humph!" Is that so? Answer me, in your heart, who do you love more between Zhan Bo and yourself? " The mysterious man threw out his trump card, "If the one you love is Zhan Bo, then what is the difference between you and He Yi Ning right now? If the one you love is He Yi Ning, then for you, you can just forget Zhan Bo after crying? Have you forgotten that you were going to marry Zhan Bo back then? "
Shen Qi was suddenly stumped, "I …"
"How can such a hypocritical you be qualified to stand by He Yi Ning's side?" The mysterious man looked at Shen Qi with contempt and said, "Why don't you go and die? Zhan Bo is already dead. If you say that you love him, why didn't you accompany him to that world? He was so lonely and helpless in that world. Why didn't you go? "
Shen Qi continuously retreated, but she did not realize that the edge of the platform was only a step away.
"So. Shen Qi, you, all of you! Go to hell! Go see Zhan Bo! You go and repent to him! " The shadow was still closing in, pushing Shen Qi to the edge of the platform.
As long as Shen Qi takes another step back.
She would fall completely off the platform.
Shen Qi's ears were filled with the mysterious man's questioning and questioning, was she going to die?
Do I go to that world to see Zhan Bo?
Yeah, it's been a long time since I've thought of Zhan Bo.
Was he being too ungrateful?
Was he being too cold-hearted?
Was he going to die?
