Picking Up Scraps
That enormous piece of Origin Divine Crystal was most likely an absolute treasure no matter where it was.
Thus, regardless of whether it was the Divine Dragon Clan, the Qian Family, or the City Lord that appeared later, they were all aiming for that Origin Divine Crystal.
Ye Xuan thought of that in his heart.
Naturally, he understood how to respond.
"Senior, this brat suspects that it might be because I destroyed a stone."
"Stone? What do you mean? Tell me in detail. "
Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the City Lord immediately became spirited.
Ye Xuan nodded. A trace of fear appeared on his face as he said, "Senior, you warned me to leave.
You told me to leave quickly. At that time, I thought that with so many Origin Beasts here, it wouldn't be too late to kill a few before leaving. That way, I wouldn't return empty-handed. "
"However, who would've thought that when I was hunting one Origin Beast, I would be discovered by the other Origin Beasts? Then, over a dozen Origin Beasts attacked me at the same time. Senior, you know my strength. It's simply impossible for me to deal with that many Origin Beasts. Thus, I could only flee without regard for anything else."
"Then, I entered another strange place. There was actually an altar there. However, there was a stone placed on top of the altar. Furthermore, there were many Origin Beasts in the surroundings." “
Those Origin Beasts didn't care at all. They directly attacked me. With my strength, I simply couldn't resist. In a moment of desperation, I casually threw my sword. Originally, I wanted to kill one of the Origin Beasts that was blocking my path. However, who would've thought that he would stare at me for too long before shattering that stone. "
"At that time, I didn't have the time to look carefully. That's because when I shattered that stone, those Origin Beasts were all stunned. Then, I took advantage of that opportunity to escape …"
Ye Xuan described in detail. He even described what the altar looked like and how the Origin Beasts were standing there. Ye Xuan described them with great clarity.
Of course, there was only one thing that was wrong. That was, the Origin Divine Crystal wasn't shattered by Ye Xuan. Instead, it was devoured by Ye Xuan.
"That's impossible. How could that thing be shattered so easily?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the City Lord was clearly a little agitated. Just as Ye Xuan had thought, the City Lord was indeed after the stupid divine crystal.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such words.
Ye Xuan did not say anything. Instead, with a thought, Wei Zhentian and the God-Slaying Sword rushed towards him.
With a flash of light, Ye Xuan caught Wei Zhentian.
The City Lord stared at the God-Slaying Sword in Ye Xuan's hand and asked, "Did you use this sword to shatter that rock?"
Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, senior. I used it. After all, I was surrounded by Origins beasts at the time. I thought I was about to die, but fortunately, I accidentally smashed the rock and managed to escape."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the City Lord fell silent.
After a while, he said, "Alright, since that thing is gone, then forget it. It's fine even if it's gone, in case the Divine Dragon Tribe and the Qian Family have any other ideas.
"That's right, little fellow. Since you and I are so fated, why don't I give you a mansion in the city? You can live in the city in the future. It's much better than living outside. Alright, come find me in the city tomorrow."
After saying that, the City Lord disappeared.
However, Ye Xuan was not happy, because Ye Xuan knew very well that the City Lord was lying when he said that he would give him a mansion. His real goal was to control Ye Xuan!
Perhaps in the eyes of others, setting up a residence for Ye Xuan in the city was a great thing. However, it was definitely not a good thing for Ye Xuan.
That was because this guy had sensed something.
At this moment, the City Lord, who was far away, was being questioned by his subordinates. "City Lord, I wonder what's so special about that kid that the City Lord would give him a mansion in the city?"
"You mean that kid? I sensed a strong aura of Origin Source Law from his body. Moreover, he's the only one who has entered the Nine Moons Cave. That thing is not that easy to break. "
"My Lord, are you saying that the kid might have hidden a treasure? How bold. My Lord, why don't you hand that kid over to this subordinate? This subordinate will guarantee that I will gather all the information for my Lord in the shortest time possible! "
"No. Although this kid's cultivation is low, I can sense great fortune from him. I'm afraid that we'll suffer a backlash if we attack him directly. Moreover, we may not succeed. Let's take it slow. I'd like to see how he's going to escape from my grasp with his cultivation base!"
The City Lord was extremely confident.
Of course, from his appeal, it was clear that this guy did not have good intentions towards Ye Xuan!
And all of this was because of the Origin Divine Crystal that Ye Xuan had swallowed.
Ye Xuan did not dare to disobey the City Lord's orders. However, Ye Xuan did not leave at all.
The closer it was to this moment, the more Ye Xuan had to make preparations in advance.
One should know that Ye Xuan did not have the right to disobey the City Lord's orders. The difference in their strength was too great. Ye Xuan would not be able to resist in time before he was put out.
Once Ye Xuan entered the city, his every move would be monitored for a short period of time.
What Ye Xuan could do now was to collect as many resources as possible, as well as the corpses of the Origin Beasts.
As for why he did this?
It was very simple. Only by collecting enough corpses could Ye Xuan increase his cultivation base rapidly. Once he increased his cultivation base rapidly, he would be evaluated as a genius by the City Lord.
Every faction would nurture geniuses. Ye Xuan believed that the Origin Secret Realm was the same.
Once the City Lord acknowledged his strength, Ye Xuan would be able to regain his freedom.
Without his strength, Ye Xuan could only rely on his own brain to think of a solution.
Fortunately, the Divine Dragon Tribe and the Qian Family were already engaged in a battle with the Dark Origin Beasts that had rushed out of the Seven Moon Cave. This gave Ye Xuan ample opportunity.
With that many Darkness Origin Beasts, even though the City Master had already given the order for the crowd to leave, there were still many people that stayed behind. Naturally, the reason why they stayed behind was so that they could hunt down the Darkness Origin Beasts.
Although the core of the Origin Beasts would naturally be taken away if they killed them, the remaining corpses would still be extremely useful to Ye Xuan.
After all, Ye Xuan could also increase his cultivation base by devouring these Origin Beasts and their corpses.
Ye Xuan's arrival did not attract much attention. When he had rushed out and left, it had happened in the blink of an eye. Apart from the City Lord, not many people had recognized Ye Xuan.
