Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 707
Chapter 707: Chapter 639: Pig Teammate Chapter 707 -639: Pig Teammate “Yes, the Xing Family’s Starry Sky Ball, they’ve kept it quite secretive, with few in the know, it can create a temporary isolation, and when I faced off with the old ghost from the Aphis family, there was no diffusion of fluctuations, pretty handy,” Tao Yu said with a beaming smile as if he particularly valued this prop for its practicality.
But his words simultaneously caused both Bai Tiancheng and a few knowledgeable members of the Aphis family to change color.
“Xing Family?
The Starshine Xing Family?” Bai Tiancheng’s tone also took on a more serious note— if the matter involved the Xing Family, then it was not so simple!
“Yes, that thing even has the empowerment of Evil God powers; it’s quite difficult to deal with.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.
After using the prop to collect intel, I discovered they should be aware of it.” Tao Yu knew that Bai Tiancheng himself also possessed some kind of extraordinary intelligence ability, which he had used in the past, so he could verify the accuracy of his own words.
...
True enough, as the stars twinkled in Bai Tiancheng’s eyes, he spoke calmly in the next moment, “Bohr, what is this about?”
Although his tone was calm, to Bohr Aphis, it felt as if the sky were falling.
He cursed Tao Yu in his heart.
Couldn’t you have said this in private?
I bet you did it on purpose!
We’ve signed the contract and received the money, why must you do this!
Then he quickly prostrated himself again and said, “Son of Heaven Tiancheng, please don’t misunderstand.
We only have some simple cooperation with the Xing Family, they leverage our shop to sell things, and we occasionally borrow their experts…”
This time, Bohr Aphis spoke earnestly like spilling beans, revealing the true situation.
He had to speak out!
The Xing Family also held the Flame of Civilization; even though they were far inferior to the Bai Family, they were still masters of one city in Starshine City and represented an external force.
If they were branded with collusion or poaching, it would truly be over.
Bohr knew that while the family could withstand various tests, a problem with loyalty was a real big issue!
“Oh?
A simple cooperation allows you to know when your ancestor emerged from seclusion?
The Bai Family might not even know, right?” Tao Yu’s well-timed interjection was like pouring salt on the wound.
It didn’t matter that contracts inherently lacked binding force; he wasn’t breaking any rules by acting this way.
Simultaneously giving both the Xing Family and the Aphis family a headache was a deal that reaped only profits.
His words made Bohr want to rip Tao Yu’s mouth to shreds.
Don’t you know how to speak!
“It’s not like that.
We got the Starry Sky Ball before, mainly because of the death of Heide, which spurred the extraordinary intelligence war, and we sought help from them.”
“Oh?
You sought their help and not the Bai Family’s?
You all…
Something’s not right…
I don’t even have a way to buy it.”
Tao Yu kept fanning the flames with his inciting and provocative tone, making Bohr so uncomfortable that he wished he could vomit blood.
The money was in hand, what use was there left?
If he wasn’t worried about being too conspicuous, Tao Yu would’ve considered ‘paying a visit’ at night just to reason with them properly.
In the end, he took into account the potential implications for Long Yin’er and others, and barely reined in his thoughts.
“We only wished not to trouble the Bai Family.”
“Causing trouble, tsk tsk, how awkward.” Tao Yu tsked twice, which made Bai Tiancheng beside him sneer.
“That’s right, we can’t be bothered with every little thing anyway.
This time the Aphis family has violated the ban, and although the main culprit is dead and the damage is not significant, they must still be severely punished!” Bai Tiancheng’s words turned Bohr’s face ashen.
Originally, with the ‘forgiveness of the victim,’ the Bai Family could have been inclined to let things slide.
But now it was clear they weren’t going to let this go lightly!
“Considering your family’s contributions in the past, the death penalty may be spared, but the living cannot escape.
Effective immediately, all your family’s Catastrophe Level and half of the World Breakers are to report to the ‘Sin Punishment Camp’ to serve a twenty-year sentence…”
Hearing these words, Tao Yu whistled by the side and clapped his hands, “The Bai Family really is impartial and fair, admirable.”
The State Capital’s “Sin Punishment Camp” is somewhat similar to the service in the Evil Spirit World obliged by Starshine City, specifically targeting those fallen worlds with extremely high risk factors that might threaten the surrounding worlds.
Even a Catastrophe Level could not be considered safe inside.
It might as well be seen as a camp for high-level cannon fodder.
Compared to this punishment, the subsequent confiscation of some materials seemed quite ordinary.
Once the Aphis family’s own strength was insufficient, the benefits that did not match them would naturally and gradually be divided up.
However, Tao Yu did understand restraint, and at this time did not clamor to join in on the division.
Take what should be taken, and do not reach for what shouldn’t.
And indeed, what they were dealing with was the Bai family’s dog; achieving the current result was already satisfactory.
“Tiancheng is impartial and incorruptible; I didn’t mean to offend the Bai family this time.
I hope you can forgive the losses caused.”
Tao Yu was very satisfied with the punishment, and then he donned an extra layer of armor for himself.
“It’s as if our Bai family is unreasonable.
Don’t worry, the fault lies entirely with the Aphis family this time; you could say you’ve made merit.”
Bai Tiancheng looked at Tao Yu somewhat speechlessly.
This guy started by keeping quiet about everything and only when the benefits were secured, pretended as if by accident to reveal it, slyly and cunningly.
“Tiancheng is too kind.”
“By the way, that thing from the Xing family you mentioned, could you perhaps talk about it in more detail?”
At this time, Bai Tiancheng also began to inquire about some intelligence.
The concealment of the Starry Sky Ball was extremely high, and its practicality was quite strong as well.
Moreover, since the Xing family had never exposed this information before, its significance could also be discerned.
Almost once used, it would render the opponent speechless!
The mishap this time was just that it was used on a cooperating partner of the Aphis family.
Perhaps the Xing family really wanted to sincerely recruit the Aphis family and slowly support them to become puppets of the Xing family in the State Capital.
Once the relationship between the two families deepened to a certain level, the Aphis family would take the initiative to help cover up for the Xing family.
Even if the Aphis family revealed the abilities of the Starry Sky Ball, it didn’t really matter.
It was not strange to occasionally obtain one or two such spatial artifacts!
All families have more or less similar heritage.
The Aphis family would not foolishly say these were from the Xing family.
Even if they were simply inclined towards benefit, the Aphis family also knew what should be done.
Otherwise, once exposed, it would lead to the outcome they were facing now.
With such mutual interests, the relationship between the Aphis family and the Xing family was actually quite solid.
If it weren’t for the old ancestor of Aphis’s misstep this time and Tao Yu’s initiative to point out that it was a Xing family item, making it impossible to deny, they certainly would not have exposed the issue with the Starry Sky Ball.
“Of course, but I think the members of the Aphis family are clear enough; let’s discuss it together.”
Tao Yu also wanted to see if he could extract some information about the Xing family.
And to directly divert the trouble eastward, although it would not go as far as to strike at the Xing family from the Bai family, the impression of the Xing family would probably be extremely negative…

Starshine Floating City.
The magnificent floating city hovered in the sky, as if it had existed since time immemorial.
Amongst the haze, the thunder that resembled Thunder Serpents roamed, crashing down from time to time with bursts of rumbling sounds.
Against this backdrop of thunder, within the ancient castle of the Xing family—the first family of Starshine City, holders of the Flame of Civilization—
A figure bathed in starlight, as though an energy being, suddenly crushed the Communication Crystal in hand, showing exceptional anger.
“Useless!”
With something as useful as the Starry Sky Ball, how could they still get caught?
What a team of pigs!
