Fishing in Muddy Water
After completing the transaction, Ye Xuan left Triumph's trading platform with Skinny Seven and returned to Triumph City's main city.
Triumph City was composed of one main city, nine satellite cities, and ten cities, surrounded by nine satellite cities. All Starry Sky masters could enter, but those who wanted to stay for a long time had to submit an application to Triumph City's trading platform. Otherwise, they could only stay for three days at most before they had to leave.
The main city was where Ye Xuan's direct subordinates were stationed. At the center of the main city was an alloy castle, in which Ye Xuan lived.
At this time, Ye Xuan and Skinny Seven had just returned from the first floor hall of the alloy castle. Naples, Ying Tai, Wretched Mosquito Butcher, Guihai Yidao, Li Mosquito, Zuo Fengtai, and the other demon slave experts were all present.
Triumph City was his territory, so the demon slave experts that Ye Xuan had hidden in the Black Wind and Black Mosquito were all released. They also needed to be tempered and grow!
Apart from Guihai Yidao, Cang Qingyu and the other chiliarchs were also released to take charge of the main city's defense, patrolling, and other tasks.
As for the nine satellite cities outside the main city, they were taken care of by the human experts under Naples!
"Unearthing ten Devour Source Crystals at once, this kind of thing has never happened in the history of the Death Starfield. You should know how sensitive you are. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it tugged at the heartstrings of all the large and small forces in the Death Starfield."
After sitting down, Ye Xuan turned to look at Skinny Seven and said with a faint smile, "But don't worry, as long as Triumph City is still here, no one can touch you. This prince isn't afraid of that old monster in Old Su City, so the other forces don't even dare to openly establish a base in this starfield, so this prince doesn't need to worry about them."
"Properly stay in the main city. Whether it's to cultivate in seclusion or to do other things, this prince has promised that you can stay in this Triumph City until you feel confident that you can guarantee your safety after leaving this place. Then you can leave …"
Skinny Seven cupped his hands and asked with a bitter smile, "Your Highness, don't you want to know where I got these ten Devouring Source Crystals from?"
"I do want to know. To be able to take out ten Devouring Source Crystals at once, it would be impossible for you not to have made a major discovery."
Ye Xuan nodded, not bothering to argue, "However, this secret is extremely important to you, and I'm sure you won't be willing to tell this Prince. If this Prince insists on knowing and you refuse to speak, the final result can be imagined. As a result, sooner or later, the Starry Sky Masters in the outside world will find out. At that time, it will be a loss of credibility, and no one will come to my Triumph City to trade for the Devouring Source Crystals. It can be said to be a loss for a small gain, so there's no point in asking."
"What if I'm willing to be honest?"
Hearing that Ye Xuan did not take the initiative to ask him because of this reason, Skinny Seven could not help but be stunned. In the end, he shook his head with a bitter smile, "To be honest, the origin of these ten Devouring Source Crystals is indeed quite secretive. However, for Skinny Seven, it was already a stroke of luck that I was able to obtain these ten crystals. Even if there are other Devouring Source Crystals in that place, Skinny Seven will definitely not have the luck to obtain them again."
"In addition, thanks to Your Highness' generosity, Skinny Seven has obtained a large amount of cultivation resources. Next, I will wholeheartedly cultivate in seclusion. This is the way of the king, and I have no intention of asking for more. This secret should naturally be revealed to Your Highness."
Speaking up to here, Skinny Seven cupped his hands again, "Skinny Seven's previous words were sincere. Since Your Highness is already Skinny Seven's Lord, it is only right for Skinny Seven to tell you the truth!"
Ye Xuan frowned. Needless to say, this temptation was really hard for him to refuse. The Devouring Source Crystals were just too important to him.
Seeing that he was silent, Skinny Seven cupped his hands again. Then, he explained in detail how he had obtained the ten Devour Origin Crystals …
…
After a short while, Skinny Seven, who had explained everything clearly, retreated and was taken away from the Central Castle by Guihai Yidao. He settled down in the main city and cultivated in seclusion.
Ye Xuan, Naples, and the other direct descendants stayed in the hall on the first floor of the Central Castle. Everyone fell into deep thought as they pondered over what Skinny Seven had just said.
After a long time, Naples shook his head and smiled bitterly. He sighed and said, "I'm afraid this matter is difficult. I didn't expect Skinny Seven to obtain the ten Devouring Source Crystals from Black Heaven City in the Eastern Region of the Death Star Region. He probably didn't have the confidence to return safely to the Western Region that belongs to the Imperial Dynasty after making a move there. That's why he kept them in his hands until now …"
"But in this way, this information is not very useful to us. If we had known this before he came and completed the transaction with Your Highness, we could have secretly infiltrated the Eastern Region controlled by the Ten Jue Heavenly Palace. But now, we can't."
"If Skinny Seven stays in Triumph City, the other forces will definitely believe that Your Highness has known the secret of him obtaining the ten Devouring Source Crystals."
"And they won't dare to take the risk of entering Triumph City to rob him. So, the only way to know where the ten Devouring Source Crystals were produced is through Your Highness."
"At this moment, I'm afraid that all the big and small forces in the entire Star Field, including Old Su City and Ten Jue Heavenly Palace's Black Firmament City, are already paying close attention to our Triumph City. Under such circumstances, wanting to quietly slip into the Eastern Star Field is simply impossible."
"Once our whereabouts are leaked, the forces will know that the ten Devouring Source Crystals came from the Eastern Star Region. Even if they don't know the specific location near Black Heaven City, it's still extremely disadvantageous for us. At least, Black Heaven City, which controls the Eastern Star Region, will definitely obstruct us from entering the Star Region that belongs to them. Although we can act secretly and sneak in under the disguise of the First Universe's Tianji Clan forces, it will be very inconvenient.
"But in that case, it will be extremely inconvenient for us to do anything. We won't even be able to officially reveal our fleet. We will be greatly restricted …"
These words were exactly what everyone, including Ye Xuan, was thinking about. At this moment, hearing him say it all out, everyone suddenly looked at each other, speechless.
"Since we're being watched, we can't eat alone anyway. At worst, we'll just play Baccarat and make a fortune together. When the good stuff is unearthed, we'll just have to rely on our own abilities to snatch it. What's there to be conflicted about …"
Right at this moment, the wretched Mosquito Slayer at the side suddenly muttered to himself. As he muttered softly, he curled his lips with an indifferent expression on his face, "Besides, that place is not a good place. There has to be someone who is going to die. This kind of good thing is naturally to let someone else be the scapegoat!"
"Damn it, the next time you dare to pick your black hairy and smelly feet in front of this prince, I'll immediately chop you up!"
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and immediately made a decision, "If that's the case, then we'll do the opposite. As the saying goes, it's easier to catch fish when the water is mixed up. This time, we'll first mix up the water, then wait for an opportunity to act!"
