A delaying tactic
"Is it really that simple? That kid only used some Multi-pupil Thought Crystals to bribe all the Black Hole Realm higher echelons of the Black Mosquito Tribe? "
In the side hall of the Ancestral Temple, the High Priest of the Royal City, Wen Xing, frowned slightly as he looked at the extremely respectful High Priest of the Black Mosquito Tribe in front of him. It was unclear whether he was asking Gray Bone Rein or muttering to himself, but there was clearly a hint of suspicion in his voice. It was clear that he did not quite believe this.
It was already night, but it wasn't the night of Ye Xuan's Holy Son Ceremony, but the fourth day. It had already been three days since the commander of the Demon Imperial Guards, Chanas, left with the eight space fortresses.
During these three days, the High Priest of the Imperial City, Wen Xing, would summon the High Priest of the Black Mosquito Tribe every night.
Huigu Le was originally the Great Priest of the Black Mosquito Tribe. He had supported him and promoted him to the position of Holy Son when he was still the Great Priest of the Black Mosquito Tribe. It could be said that Huigu Le and Wen Xing had always been in close contact over the years.
Therefore, regarding the strangeness of Ye Xuan, Wen Xing didn't need to ask anyone else. He didn't even need to investigate. He only needed to summon Huigu Le and he would know everything.
On the night of Ye Xuan's Holy Son Ceremony, he summoned Huigu Lei over and immediately began probing him with his spiritual power. Unfortunately, the result was as Ye Xuan had guessed. There were no clues at all!
Ye Xuan's slave seal had been condensed with a level-six mind power, while Huigule had a level-six source core. Given the mysteries of the slave seal, Luo Yunyang simply couldn't see any clues.
Subsequently, Wen Xing began to verbally question Huigu Lei. However, Huigu Lei had already received instructions from Ye Xuan before he came over, so his response was flawless. Even his attitude towards Wen Xing was the same as before. In private, Huigu Lei treated Wen Xing like a disciple, which was completely different from Wen Xing's attitude when he first arrived.
Today, Wen Xing had once again summoned Huigu Lei and brought up the old matter again. It was because he was still doubtful about Huigu Lei's reply and didn't completely believe it.
It just so happened that Huigu Le didn't have any reason to deceive him. So, at this moment, even Wen Xing was slightly hesitant, and he wondered if he could make a move against that kid, Zhang Wuji …
"Indeed!"
With a respectful expression, Huigu Lei's reply was exactly the same as yesterday, "That kid is very vigilant. High Priest, you only ordered me to watch him and urge him to cultivate, but he clearly caught something from it. The night before the ceremony, he came to me and Zuo Fengtai and took out four Eight-Eyed Silver Crystals on the spot. You also know that this kind of sacred object is to us …"
"At that time, I hesitated because I knew that once you, High Priest, came and dealt with this brat, these Eight Eyed Silver Crystals would also fall into our hands."
"But Zuo Fengtai was overjoyed, and he had people in the Imperial City, so I was afraid …"
"What made me even more speechless was that Zhang Wuji still didn't feel reassured, and he actually asked us to invite all the Black Hole Realm experts of the Black Hole Realm who came to watch the ceremony. He gave them all gifts!"
"To achieve this goal, the kid took out a small space box, and there were actually four Eight-Eyed sacred objects inside, as well as hundreds of Seven-Eyed, Six-Eyed, and Seven-Eyed."
"He also gave the four Eight-Eyed sacred objects to me and Zuo Fengtai. Zuo Fengtai's eyes lit up when he received four Eight-Eyed sacred objects for free. Although I was anxious for your sake, I couldn't be too insistent in case Zuo Fengtai became suspicious. So, I could only follow their wishes and summon all the Black Hole Realm experts who came to watch the ceremony."
"You should be able to guess what happened next. Although the kid didn't take out any more Eight-Eyed Sacred Crystals, the Black Hole Realm experts of the Black Hole Realm all accepted three or four Six-Eyed and Seven-Eyed Sacred Crystals from him. To them, the effect of buying people's hearts was exactly the same as Zuo Fengtai and I receiving a few Eight-Eyed Sacred Crystals!"
"Moreover, the kid also told us that he gave a large number of Multi-eyed Sense Crystals to the Demon King in the Demon Imperial City, and also told us about you, High Priest. He also said that Imperial Uncle Mo Qigong thought highly of him and wanted to take him as his disciple. However, he was worried that you would be too harsh on him when you came to the Black Mosquito Tribe this time, so he asked us to help him put on a show when you come …"
"That's why when you came that day, all of us obeyed his orders. It's really a waste of money. In addition, we all thought that since the Demon King had taken advantage of him, and he had the backing of Imperial Uncle Mo Qigong, this kid would most likely have a bright future. Anyway, since we've taken advantage of him, we'll just go with the flow and let him owe us a favor. When he becomes successful in the future, if he's summoned to the Demon Imperial City, we … will definitely benefit! "
This was what Ye Xuan had told Huigu Le. It was a delaying tactic that Ye Xuan had come up with after he learned that Chanas had gone to the Third Universe.
At this moment, Huigu Le had repeated it to Wen Xing for the second time. After three days of observation, Wen Xing found that it was indeed the case. Unconsciously, he was relieved, so he didn't wait for Huigu Le to finish, but waved his hand immediately.
He said impatiently, "Okay, okay, you've already said these words before. It's not that this High Priest doesn't believe you, so why do you need to repeat it so much?"
"I didn't expect this kid surnamed Zhang to be so cunning. He actually saw through it and came up with a countermeasure in a roundabout way. In this way, it's not convenient to get rid of him immediately. After all, whether it's Zuo Fengtai or the Black Hole Nine Stars, the higher-ups of the Black Hole already know about this … "
Speaking of this, Wen Xing's eyes flashed and he sighed a little unwillingly, "Sigh, forget it, I'll just let him live for a few more days. Everything will wait until Commander Zha returns."
"But one thing is completely certain, that is, this kid really has a lot of Multi-pupil Divine Crystals in his hands. I'm afraid even the number of Eight-pupil Divine Crystals is astonishing. Otherwise, how could he be willing to give you and Zuo Fengtai four of each? He's really lucky. I don't know what he encountered in the Saint Devil Forbidden Area that day, but he actually gained so much … "
"Peng Peng!"
"Not good, High Priest, something big has happened …"
Just as he said this, a confidant of Huigu Le suddenly rushed in from the door of the side hall. It was probably because he knew that Huigu Le had a close relationship with Wen Xing, so there was no need to be too polite. In addition, this matter was really shocking, so he actually rushed in directly.
His face was full of shock. Seeing that Wen Xing and Huigu Le both turned their heads to look at him at the same time, he immediately reported with panic, "I just received a signal from the Tianji Main Network. The Tianji Clan's headquarters issued a warning to the entire First Universe and issued a wanted order in the First Universe. It's … it's related to the matter of our Black Mosquito Ship. It's a person called Prince Xuan!"
