Listening to Ye Li's words filled with jealousy and resentment, Xie Yuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He hasn't been having an easy time lately.

His Shifu, Heavenly Dragon Madman, inexplicably disappeared, and he couldn't find him no matter what methods he tried, without a single clue.

Now seeing Li Yun was actually so formidable, the unease in his heart made him extremely uncomfortable, to the point that waves of regret arose within him.

"Ye Li, you know what, I really regret it a bit now. I knew earlier I shouldn't have forcibly taken on that business of assassinating Li Yun..."

"Although this matter hasn't caused any consequences yet, when Li Yun himself becomes a Celestial Supreme in the future... I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."

Ye Li suddenly raised his head.

"Hmph, what's the point of you saying such things now?"

"If regret were useful, where would there be so many battles in the Martial Arts World?"

"I can only say, Li Yun must die, and the sooner he dies, the better!"

Xie Yuan sneered, "Anyone can say nice words, but you still want to kill Li Yun now, can you do it?"

"You haven't even figured out what background Li Yun has. Even the Heavenly Martial Sect doesn't dare to make a move, yet you still want to kill Li Yun... It's simply a joke."

"Xie Yuan, what do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple, I can't afford to provoke this Li Yun, and I don't want to provoke him anymore..."

"Hmph, do you think it's interesting to say such things now?"

"You yourself said just now that back then, in order to get Bi Xuan to provoke the Heavenly Martial Sect, you deliberately took on the business of assassinating Li Yun. This enmity fundamentally cannot be resolved. Once he grows up and becomes a Celestial Supreme, you'll be finished."

"That's different... What my Netherworld Association does is originally the business of killing people for money. Strictly speaking, I myself don't have any deep-seated hatred with Li Yun."

"If Li Yun really wants to settle accounts, he'll have to find the person who placed the order first. To tell you the truth, long before I came to the Royal City with you, I had already sent the name of the person who placed the order back then to the Heavenly Martial Sect."

"It's just a dirty deed done by someone within the Heavenly Martial Sect itself. Chen Jiuxu will take care of it himself."

"As for me, I'll disappear now... Even if Li Yun wants to settle accounts in the future, he'll have to find me first, right? Furthermore, after I leave this time, I might not necessarily be afraid of Li Yun in the future..."

Ye Li's expression changed, "You... are you planning to go to that place?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"My Shifu inexplicably disappeared. As a disciple, if I don't find a way... I'm afraid I won't be able to get by anymore."

"So, Ye Li, goodbye!"

Xie Yuan actually left as soon as he said he would, taking his subordinates with him, turning around and leaving the restaurant decisively, and leaving the Royal City immediately.

Ye Li watched Xie Yuan leave, but didn't stop him, his face just looked extremely unpleasant.

But soon.

Another person actually appeared in the restaurant.

It was none other than Yang Yundu.

Seeing Yang Yundu, Ye Li lightly snorted, "Did you see? In this world, besides strength, background also matters. That fellow Li Yun not only has exceptional talent, but his background is also unfathomable, to the point that even Xie Yuan was scared and found an excuse to slip away."

"Your talent is good, not even inferior to Li Yun's. What you lack is background, a background that is willing to invest heavily in cultivating you."

"As long as you nod and join us."

";Plus the shared connection we have... I dare guarantee that you will soar to the skies very soon!"

Yang Yundu looked out the window, watching Li Yun on the central arena of the Royal City with his imposing presence, his eyes filled with jealousy.

"Alright, I can join you."

"However, I have one condition."

Ye Li's eyes flickered, feeling a bit annoyed in his heart. In his opinion, he was clearly giving Yang Yundu an opportunity, but this guy actually dared to make demands on him, which was simply preposterous.

However, Yang Yundu was indeed unusual.

Having the chance to recruit him, he wasn't willing to shut Yang Yundu out over this small matter.

"Speak!"

"I can join you, but we are just cooperating. I am no longer a servant, and you cannot treat me as a servant..."

Ye Li was startled, then sneered, "It seems your previous experience as a servant in the Anle Marquis Manor really left a shadow in your heart..."

Yang Yundu said discontentedly, "Just say whether you agree or not?"

"Alright, no problem. I have plenty of servants, and I'm not short of you... Cooperation it is!"

"Hmph, and also, I want Princess Mingguang!"

"Since the Welcoming Spring Tea Party, Princess Mingguang has disappeared. She was the only one in the Anle Marquis Manor who was good to me. I need you to help me find her!"

"Princess Mingguang? Heh heh, you're truly infatuated... This is also not a problem, and I can tell you Princess Mingguang's whereabouts right now."

"In fact, nothing happened to her at all. She was just unexpectedly taken notice of by an elder. After the Welcoming Spring Tea Party, she was taken away by that elder. I don't know exactly where she went, but she's definitely still in Eastern Cloud Continent."

"After I go back, I'll help you find her. At that time, I can even step forward to arrange things for you two. You'll have to treat me to a wedding drink..."

Yang Yundu was slightly startled, then nodded and agreed.

Ye Li changed the subject.

"But since it's cooperation, there must be a cooperative attitude. You've also seen Li Yun's current strength. If he doesn't die, he's a threat to every one of us."

"According to some information Li Yun released earlier, after this grand competition, he should go to the Sky-Splitting Dynasty to explore."

"Therefore, I hope you also go to the Sky-Splitting Dynasty."

"Find an opportunity, or find a way to kill Li Yun... As for what method to use, I think with your ability, you should be able to figure it out, right?"

"You..."

Yang Yundu's face changed. He wasn't stupid. How could he not know that this fellow Ye Li didn't even look at him properly and still wanted to use him as a knife to assassinate Li Yun.

However, Yang Yundu thought about it and didn't refuse.

"Okay, I have a way that can guarantee killing Li Yun, and I can even set off for the Sky-Splitting Dynasty now to make arrangements."

"However, you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"Speak!"

"I'll go to the Sky-Splitting Dynasty first. Within three months, I must see Princess Mingguang in the Sky-Splitting Dynasty. If I see her, Li Yun will surely die. If I don't see her, I'll consider you to be playing with me, and I'll immediately turn around and cooperate with Li Yun!"

"You... Impudent!"

Ye Li was so angry his face turned green. He never expected that this dog-like servant Yang Yundu would actually dare to blackmail him in return.

"There's no such thing as impudent or not impudent. Don't forget we are cooperating. You can use me, and I can also use you... If you can't stand it and still plan to treat me with that condescending attitude of yours, then there's no need for cooperation."

"Anyway, it's just that one sentence!"

"Starting from today, if I see Princess Mingguang within three months, I will kill Li Yun. If you want to kill Li Yun, you can only cooperate with me!"

The words fell.

Yang Yundu immediately flashed, leaping directly out of the window.

And at this very moment, just as Yang Yundu's figure appeared outside the window, an astonishing killing intent and roar came from the central arena of the Royal City!

But Yang Yundu didn't dare to look any further and turned his head and left immediately.

Ye Li in the room also had a drastic change in expression, cursed "damn Li Yun" in a low voice, and also left in a hurry with his men...
