One day passed quickly. At noon of the second day, under the blazing sun, two figures shattered the space and appeared outside the great array of the black island. The black-robed old man on the left waved his right hand, and a door immediately appeared in the great array. The two figures flew through the door and into the main palace at the center of the island.
"Vice Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader is back!"
In the main palace, a person came to inform Yin Sky King.
"I already know."
Although Yin Sky King didn't release his soul power at all times, if he didn't know that two Life and Death Kings had arrived on the island and opened the great array, he would've lived in vain.
"Alliance Leader made a breakthrough a few days ago, and his battle strength increased from four star tyrant to five star, becoming a titled monarch. No matter how powerful Ye Chen is, he's only a peak King with four star battle strength. Even a four star tyrant is not Alliance Leader's opponent. In the past, the reason why Blackwater Alliance used a large amount of Zhen Yuan crystals to block Life and Death Kings with battle strength below five star was because they didn't have the strength to challenge them. Now that Ye Chen has come to ask for hush money, he's courting death."
As one of the big shots of Blackwater Alliance, Yin Sky King naturally knew a bit about Black Water Ancestor's character.
Standing up, the Yin Heavenly King's figure flashed, and he left his main palace hall. He walked towards the core main palace hall that was surrounded by the other three main palaces. His footsteps were swift.
Inside the core palace …
A black-robed old man was drinking tea with a yellow-robed old man, talking cheerfully and wittily.
"Brother Huang, you don't know. Although my Blackwater Alliance is also an overlord of the southern deep ocean, the Devouring Island is too tempting. It's a fat piece of meat that everyone wants a bite of. I'm glorious in front of others, but bitter in the back!" The black-robed old man wasn't tall, but he gave off an imposing aura. He was precisely the leader of Blackwater Alliance, Black Water Ancestor.
In front of him, a yellow-robed old man said with a smile that was yet not a smile, "Old geezer, you're not only planning to cooperate with me, but also with Demon God Cult and Black Fiend Island! If you succeed, with the influence of our four great powers, who would dare to touch your Blackwater Alliance? "
"This, hehe, I was just about to tell you."
The yellow-haired old man was not a normal Life and Death Realm warrior, but the leader of the South Shallow Sea Alliance, the yellow-robed old monster. His strength was earth-shattering, and was rumored to be at mid five-star level. The Demon God Cult and the Black Evil Island had always been the sworn enemies of the South Shallow Sea Alliance. They had battled for many years, and both sides had suffered quite a bit. He was still a bit nervous about joining hands with the other three, afraid that the three would leave on bad terms and vent their anger on him. However, judging from the expression of the yellow-robed old monster, he did not seem to mind at all.
"I don't care who you work with, but my share of the profits can't be reduced." The yellow-robed eccentric rapped the table.
"Of course. Brother Huang, what kind of person do you take me for?"
The Black Water Ancestor hurriedly poured wine for the yellow-robed old monster.
The yellow-robed old monster drank quite comfortably. Just by working with the Blackwater Alliance, he would be able to obtain a huge amount of Zhen yuan crystals every year, so why not? Moreover, he had a vague premonition that the future of Elysium would be full of calamities. They could no longer fight against the Demon God Cult and the Black Evil Island, and had to save their strength to protect themselves. Working with the three great powers was naturally the best thing to do. Of course, it was impossible for him to go to the Demon God Cult and the Black Evil Island. The Blackwater Alliance would be the perfect middleman.
"Leader!"
Right at this moment, the Yin Sky King's voice was heard outside the palace.
"Oh, it's the Yin Sky King. What's the matter? Come in first." The Yin Sky King was one of the right-hand men of the Black Water Ancestor, and was highly regarded.
The Yin Sky King walked in. Seeing the yellow-robed old monster, he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Ah, so it's the leader of the South Shallow Sea Alliance. Yin Sky King greets you."
The yellow-robed old monster waved his hand and smiled, "We'll all be on the same side in the future. No need to be so polite."
"Yin Sky King, what's the matter?"
The Black Water Ancestor asked.
The Yin Sky King didn't turn his back on the yellow-robed old monster and transmitted his voice, "Yesterday, an emissary from the Chaos Demonic Ocean came. The Demon Flower Emperor said that she wants us to provide her with six million True Essence Crystals every year, not one less. Otherwise, she will personally come to talk to you."
The Yin Sky King didn't immediately talk about Ye Chen's matter. Instead, she talked about the Demon Flower Emperor's request.
Hearing this, the Black Water Ancestor's face instantly darkened, "She really said that?"
"Yes."
"Preposterous." The Black Water Ancestor shouted in a low voice.
Hearing the words Demon Flower Emperor, the yellow-robed old monster raised his eyebrows. This demoness was very famous in Elysium. Let alone the Black Water Alliance, even he didn't dare to provoke her. However, the present was different from the past. Having gathered the four major forces, their strength was already above the Chaos Demonic Ocean.
"The Chaos Demonic Ocean isn't a big deal. With our strength, do we still need to be afraid of her?" The four major forces cooperated, and the True Essence Crystals were divided according to the ratio. The Demon Flower Emperor wanted six million True Essence Crystals, so everyone's share was less. The yellow-robed old monster naturally didn't want his True Essence Crystals to be less. For his own benefit, he had to fight this demoness.
"How did you answer?"
The Black Water Ancestor asked again.
The Yin Sky King said, "The Chaos Demonic Ocean emissary came in a threatening manner. I couldn't directly refuse, so I used a delaying tactic and said at most two million."
"That's very good."
The Black Water Ancestor was more and more satisfied with the Yin Sky King. Although with their current strength, they didn't need to be afraid of the Demon Flower Emperor, they couldn't just fall out with her and take things to the extreme.
"What else?"
Seeing that the Yin Sky King seemed to have something else to say, the Black Water Ancestor asked curiously.
The Yin Sky King paused for a moment and said solemnly, "Ye Chen is here! He asked us for three million True Essence Crystals as hush money every year. "
The core palace was silent for a moment.
The silence didn't last long. The next moment, the Black Water Ancestor's angry voice sounded, "Simply arrogant and conceited. Does he really think that my Black Water Alliance is a soft persimmon that they can bully as they please? If we give it to him today, who will come tomorrow? Do I have to give it to him as well? Ye Chen, what a good Ye Chen. I don't care if you are a genius or not.
"Where is he?"
The Black Water Ancestor's aura soared into the sky.
"On an island near the Black Water Island." The Yin Sky King was secretly happy.
"Black Water, don't be too excited. Maybe I can handle this matter." Suddenly, the yellow-robed old monster said.
"You can handle it?"
The Black Water Ancestor looked at the yellow-robed old monster.
The yellow-robed old monster said confidently, "This Ye Chen has friendly relations with the Water Ape Clan of my Southern Shallow Sea Alliance. As the alliance leader, the life and death of the Water Ape Clan is in my hands. I believe that after Ye Chen knows my identity, he will restrain himself. At that time, you can just give him one million True Essence Crystals and send him away."
"Every year?"
The yellow-robed old monster's words made the Black Water Ancestor take it seriously.
"Hehe, one time is enough."
"Alright."
Although one million True Essence Crystals was not a small amount, the Black Water Ancestor didn't put it in his eyes at all. This time, when cooperating with the four factions, he was prepared to kick out some Life and Death Kings who knew about it. In this way, one million True Essence Crystals was nothing.
"Come, take me there."
The Black Water Ancestor and the other two stood up and flew into the sky.
The island where Ye Chen was resting was thousands of li away from the Black Water Island. In an instant, the three arrived.
In the building on the island, Ye Chen opened his eyes, revealing a trace of surprise.
"Let's see what tricks they're playing."
Ye Chen flew out.
"You are Ye Chen."
In the sky, the Black Water Ancestor said expressionlessly.
Ye Chen glanced at the yellow-robed old monster and said, "You should know what I said yesterday. What do you think?"
The Black Water Ancestor didn't reply. The yellow-robed old monster walked out with a smile, "Ye Chen, congratulations on reaching Life and Death Realm. I couldn't go to the banquet that day, and I'm deeply regretful. However, Sun Tai is a member of my South Shallow Sea Alliance. With him there, it can be considered as representing my alliance."
"Alliance Leader Huang, Ye Chen has long heard of your name."
Ye Chen knew that this person was the leader of the South Shallow Sea Alliance, a giant of Elysium, the yellow-robed old monster.
The yellow-robed old monster laughed, "It's nothing more than an empty reputation."
Ye Chen faintly sensed that the yellow-robed old monster was trying to persuade him, so he went straight to the point and said to the Black Water Ancestor, "Three million True Essence Crystals a year. This is my bottom line. Back then, I was tricked into the Devouring Island and was chased several times. If not for my tricks, I would have been killed long ago."
"Ye Chen, we're all on the same side. There's no need to make things unpleasant. Brother Black Water, how about this? You give Ye Chen three million True Essence Crystals in one go, and we'll settle the grudge between us. " The yellow-robed old monster changed his mind at the last moment, changing the one million True Essence Crystals to three million. The main reason was that he didn't think Ye Chen was that easy to fool.
Although the Black Water Ancestor didn't know why the yellow-robed old monster added two million at the last moment, it was not like he couldn't accept it at one go. He said indifferently, "Ye Chen, I'll give Brother Huang some face and give you three million True Essence Crystals. Don't come here anymore."
"Once, huh?"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.
"What? You're not satisfied?" The Black Water Ancestor was angered.
"Once is fine, but I want fifteen million True Essence Crystals. In the future, I promise not to come here again." Between three million a year and fifteen million a year, Ye Chen would rather choose the latter.
"In your dreams."
"Ye Chen!"
Not only was the Black Water Ancestor enraged, but the yellow-robed old monster also lost some face. With his status and strength, speaking to Ye Chen like this was already praising him. Not only did the latter not appreciate it, he even demanded an exorbitant price. It was clear that Ye Chen didn't put him in his eyes.
"Three million a year or fifteen million a year, it's up to you. On the other hand, I want to settle the previous debt with you." The Devouring Island was only occupied by the Blackwater Alliance. The Blackwater Alliance and the Devouring Island's Holy Spirit were merely cooperating, tricking a large number of martial artists to enter the island. If the Devouring Island originally belonged to the Blackwater Alliance, it wouldn't be a scourge. Ye Chen's visit this time was morally unjustified. But now, he needed a share of the profits. Using an analogy, Ye Chen's current actions were like robbing those evil people.
