Scouring True Essence Crystals

Murong Qingcheng went to collect the Storage Spirit Rings from Tyrant King's subordinates. As for Tyrant King himself, Ye Chen would handle him.

"Kid, if you don't want to die, I advise you not to set your sights on True Essence Crystals. This has happened before. Stronger people than you have appeared in the past, but anyone who coveted the True Essence Crystals came to no good end."

Tyrant King spoke in an icy tone.

"Are you trying to scare me?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from Ye Chen, Tyrant King did not dare act too arrogantly. "I'm not trying to scare you. Of the True Essence Crystals we collect, only a small portion belongs to us. Most of them must be handed over. As for whom they are handed over to, you should know perfectly well."

The tribute ratio differed from district to district. Tyrant King ranked among the top five on Third Devouring Island. Of the True Essence Crystals he collected, twenty percent went to Tyrant King's faction, while eighty percent went to the Blackwater Alliance. In Black Mountain District alone, around two thousand four hundred True Essence Crystals could be collected each month. Twenty percent amounted to four hundred and eighty, no small sum. In some weaker districts, the split was ten-ninety, or even five-ninety-five.

This month, Tyrant King had already collected quite a few True Essence Crystals. If Ye Chen took them all, he would be unable to hand over eighty percent of the True Essence Crystals to the Blackwater Alliance. When that happened, the Blackwater Alliance would definitely come looking for Ye Chen.

"Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll speak with the Blackwater Alliance."

How could Ye Chen have failed to consider that?
