Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Dark Matter Power

Duo Geli didn’t expect so many people were still willing to follow him, and his face showed a touch of emotion.

Chen Yu didn’t say much else, just walked toward the inner depths of the underground palace on his own.

Duo Geli immediately became nervous, as the depths of the underground palace were riddled with traps—Chen Yu walking into it alone would undoubtedly lead to death.

“Wait a minute, outsiders are not allowed to enter there willy-nilly!”

But Chen Yu didn’t care about that, his figure flashed, and he went directly into the depths of the underground palace.

Duo Geli was scared witless, Chen Yu was their savior; he absolutely couldn’t let him die in the underground palace like this.

He quickly called on the people around him, and they rushed into the underground palace.

But when they entered, they found Chen Yu standing unharmed atop a pile of gold.

“You people are really too conservative! The empire that your ancestors guarded has long since perished, and the treasures they left behind belong to no one. If I were you, I would move everything out of here instead of guarding it like beggars.”

Duo Geli sighed helplessly, they were living by the promises handed down from their ancestors, and they wouldn’t abandon those promises unless they were killed.

Just as he was about to speak, the entire underground palace suddenly began to shake.

Chen Yu’s face showed no surprise at all; when he entered the underground palace, he had detected that more than a dozen forces were moving in this direction, seemingly for the gold and gemstones here.

The reason he had sent the palace’s guardians away was that he didn’t want them to make meaningless sacrifices.

Duo Geli also became tense, the piercing alarm sounding made it hard for him to breathe.

The eight people who stayed behind also instinctively drew the weapons they carried.

“Why can’t these guys just leave us alone?”

Duo Geli’s teeth clenched with a crunching sound; now, just with these people, it was impossible to resist the dozen or so outside forces.

Chen Yu shook his wrist, “Men die in pursuit of wealth, as birds perish in quest for food; these people are after riches, and the items here are enough to make them pay any price.”

Duo Geli felt somewhat helpless, and he suddenly felt relieved that those people had left, or else they would have only one path—death.

“Mr. Chen, you should go too, we can’t let you lose your life here!”

Chen Yu, however, appeared indifferent.

“How about a bet? If I can get rid of those guys outside, you all have to leave with me. And you also have to take all the gold, gemstones, and treasures from the underground palace!”

Duo Geli hesitated; he looked at the mountain of gold and silver treasures in front of him, then at the eight scruffily dressed brothers behind him.

They had paid too much for these external things, and staying here was just a waste of time.

“Alright, I agree! But how could you possibly…”

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yu’s figure suddenly vanished like lightning from the spot.

Duo Geli’s eyes widened in shock.

“Could this Mr. Chen be a deity sent by the heavens to save us?”

The eight beside him were also dumbfounded, having never seen anyone move so quickly before.

Not long after, several people came to their senses and quickly chased out of the underground palace.

By this time, Chen Yu had already reached the Gobi Desert outside the underground palace.

Dozens of teams from more than ten towns converged here, driving hundreds of modified off-road vehicles, among which were several dozen large trucks.

From the look of it, they seemed determined to obtain the treasures hidden within the underground palace.
