Chapter 1028: Chapter 309: The Outbreak of War! Entering Medicine Master Valley! _3
Yuchi: "..."
Big brother, don’t put yourself on such a moral high ground. He then lazily looked at the weirdo: "These gold and silver were obviously robbed directly, right?"
Weirdo: "Yes."
He was not shy about it, smiling sheepishly under Yuchi’s gaze: "If I don’t rob, others will. If I don’t take it, then there’s only so little left. In the end, how can I have gold and silver to protect the people around me? In such a chaotic world, nothing is more reliable than gold and silver."
Yuchi nodded: "Alright, when it comes to this, no one can blame anyone. If I were you, I might rob too. If my true gold and silver were taken by other cultivators, and I didn’t take it, I’d end up with huge losses. Given the era of war, without some gold and silver in hand, there’s no peace of mind."
"Everyone has a family to care for."
"Once the state is chaotic and the nation is shattered, it all comes down to family. Family cannot be chaotic and is the moral bottom line for everyone, right? I don’t believe anyone can maintain the highest moral standards when their family is in crisis and comes up with some honesty during wartime. That would truly be impressive."
The weirdo was deeply moved and looked at Yuchi: "Thank you for enlightening me, senior. I’ve been struggling with these things for a long time. After all, when I robbed these gold and silver, I indeed turned my opposing cultivators into human scorpions. Sometimes when I think about it, it’s just like the naïve fox dies, the hunting dog is cooked. Friends before, enemies now, and I’ve been in agony for a long time because of this."
Human scorpions... What on earth is that... Yuchi smiled bitterly: "Since it’s like this, give me some gold and silver. You seem to have a lot. Let me help you share the pain."
Weirdo: "Let’s talk about something else."
Yuchi: "You damn it."
Yin Shuang rushed up to give this wretched thing a couple of hits.
The weirdo then continued: "So I suggest you definitely avoid going to the Sixth State, and advise your friends not to go there either. Right now, the Sixth State is ablaze. The locals want to stop it. We locals of the Sixth State all want the fires to be extinguished, but clearly, outsiders don’t think that way."
"Cultivators from the nearby Fifth State especially think this way. Only chaos allows them to accumulate gold and silver on a large scale. If we have peace, they have no reason to cause trouble."
"So now the conflict in the Sixth State is not just the Sixth State’s fight. All who love battle are gradually heading to the Sixth State. They smell a business opportunity."
Yuchi thought of certain events from his previous life and felt a bit nauseous but managed to hold it back. It’s indeed a cycle happening again and again. Things that occurred in the past life are still unfolding here.
And the motives of the cultivators from other states are very simple.
First, it’s not their own homeland, so let chaos reign. Normally, certain evil arrays, cultivation techniques, secret manuals, etc., are embarrassing to use at home, but in the Sixth State, it’s fine. They just come to loot, and once that’s done, they leave. The fate of the Sixth State is none of their business.
Second, to the natives of the Sixth State, heard you want peace? Peace my ass. You get chaotic, then we can earn gold and silver from it. So once these flames ignite, don’t think about calming down. Know that a cultivator’s skill is for nourishing? No, no, it’s for killing techniques.
Third, now all six states are too calm, too boring. The Lower Three States are off-limits, that’s monster territory, so why not just carve out a state to fight? Everyone who wants to make money comes to the Third State, let’s bump into each other here? All battle-loving cultivators come over, this is the new Ancient Battlefield.
And seeing Yuchi’s silence, the weirdo asked in a muffled voice: "I wonder, after senior hears the news of the Sixth State, do you have any predictions for future events?"
Huh? Big brother, that transition was too abrupt, wasn’t it? I’m just a passerby, what does the state of the world have to do with me, Yuchi the Honest?
Yuchi didn’t want to talk about these things.
But the weirdo’s eyes were very earnest. He quietly looked at the young man in front of him, thinking perhaps this young man might have some insights.
Yuchi felt utterly speechless, he really didn’t want to say much. Otherwise, if he really spoke at random, he could spit out a hundred thousand words. But what good does it do? Right now, it fundamentally changes nothing. Grand discussions are meaningless and will plunge oneself into endless pain.
No choice, he casually mentioned a few things: "We’re all in the same boat. If the Sixth State doesn’t settle, the nearby Fifth State will surely become chaotic. If the Fifth and Sixth States are in chaos, the Second, Third, and Fourth States will inevitably follow, and once all are in chaos, the First State is bound to fall into disorder too."
"I don’t know when this war will spread to the Fifth State exactly, but I can confidently say that without any powerful entities going to fully suppress it, if the flames are allowed to burn like this, the forest across all six states will be completely scorched by this wildfire. No one can expect to remain at peace."
Isn’t it so? When things like this happen, it’s really no fault of Yuchi the Honest. Aren’t there many powerful entities in the world who’ve gone blind at this time? Won’t they come to help forcibly extinguish these wildfires? Never heard of killing as a warning? If not, I’ll kill your mom, then you’ll understand.
