Half an hour later.

Wu Nanfeng hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion with the heavenly poison demon seed.

"Grandpa... something is wrong."

Knocking on the door of Wu Qiuse's cultivation room, Wu Nanfeng carefully placed the heavenly poison demon seed in front of Wu Qiuse.

Wu Qiuse glanced at it casually, then suddenly his breathing tightened.

"This... this is a heavenly poison demon seed, right?"

"The legendary Heaven Grade poison, where did you get it... how dare you bring this thing home? You haven't even taken precautions, what if it falls on the ground? That would be terrible!"

"Grandpa... I was wrong, I was too hasty."

"I came to ask you to see if this heavenly poison demon seed is real."

"Of course it's real, one hundred percent authentic, where did this thing come from?"

Wu Nanfeng took a deep breath.

"A guy named Yang gave it to me, but this guy named Yang probably has ill intentions. This is something he prepared to scheme against Li Yun, and I tricked him into giving it to me."

"What?"

"Scheming against Li Yun with a heavenly poison demon seed? What's this guy named Yang's background?"

Wu Nanfeng said, "I don't know his background, I just felt that he was a bit mysterious. Some time ago, I just returned from Myriad Green Mountain and was still angry about encountering Li Yun there. I was drinking alone outside and met him."

"This guy is very good at handling things. He drank with me two or three times and gave me many things. We could barely be considered friends."

"But I always felt that this person was somewhat cunning, the kind of villain who is sweet-mouthed but malicious inside, so I was always wary of him and didn't deepen our relationship much."

"I didn't expect him to find me again just now... and propose to cooperate with me to scheme against Li Yun together."

"He also said that he came from Mystic Moon Kingdom and had a grudge against Li Yun in Mystic Moon Kingdom before."

"I felt that he had malicious intentions, so I pretended to agree to deal with him, and incidentally brought this heavenly poison demon seed back."

Wu Qiuse frowned and fell into thought.

"Surname Yang, also from Mystic Moon Kingdom, and had a grudge against Li Yun in Mystic Moon Kingdom... Heh, could it be Yang Yundu?"

"Grandpa... you know him?"

"Hmph, I know. He was mentioned in the information sold to me by the Heaven and Earth Tower, although not much, but I still analyzed some things from the scattered words."

"This Yang Yundu does have some tricks up his sleeve. It is said that he was originally just a servant of the Anle Marquis Manor in Eastern Cloud Continent, but for some reason, he suddenly gained considerable strength. Later, during the emergence of the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple in Eastern Cloud Continent, he also displayed strength second only to Li Yun."

"Looking at him now... he can even produce a heavenly poison demon seed, which clearly shows he has a background, but I don't know the specific details."

"However, it is certain that this guy indeed has ill intentions."

"Giving you the heavenly poison demon seed is probably a ploy to kill with a borrowed knife."

"Fortunately, you're not stupid and knew to bring the heavenly poison demon seed back for me to see immediately... I'm telling you, you absolutely cannot collude with that guy named Yang, otherwise our important plan will definitely fail."

"But thanks to him too."

"He actually gave me an excuse to contact Li Yun again... I'll take this heavenly poison demon seed. Also, where is that guy named Yang right now?"

"Still at the restaurant..."

"Let's go, come with me now, capture that kid, and hand him over to Li Yun for disposal."

Wu Qiuse put away the heavenly poison demon seed and immediately left the cultivation room, heading straight for the restaurant where Wu Nanfeng and Yang Yundu had met earlier.

However.

Upon arrival, they found that the place was empty.

Not only that.

Wu Qiuse personally took action, releasing terrifying spiritual sense to search for Yang Yundu's whereabouts around the restaurant, but there was no trace of him at all.

Not only had Yang Yundu disappeared.

Even Mingguang Princess Xu Yourong, who was with Yang Yundu before, was gone.

Wu Qiuse's expression immediately turned ugly.

"What a cunning fellow!"

"He actually guessed that I would act and escaped immediately."

"And being able to escape from under my nose in such a short time shows that this guy named Yang also has many trump cards on him."

"Be extremely careful if you encounter him again in the future."

Wu Nanfeng nodded hastily.

"Understood, Grandpa, I will be careful."

"However, fortunately, the heavenly poison demon seed is still in my hands, which is enough. We won't go back either, let's go to Jinhe City now, which can also serve as an early warning to Li Yun."

Immediately.

Wu Qiuse took Wu Nanfeng and rushed to Jinhe City without stopping.

What the two of them didn't know was that just after they left, Yang Yundu, along with Mingguang Princess Xu Yourong, walked out of a small alley less than three li away from the restaurant.

Xu Yourong said with a face full of shock, "Yun Tu Ke Ke... your metal ability is amazing... even a Set Pet Realm... expert couldn't find you."

Listening to Xu Yourong's lisping words, Yang Yundu had an unusually splitting headache, truly suppressing the urge to slap her.

"Hehe, I knew that Wu Nanfeng wasn't brave enough and wouldn't easily cooperate with me. I deliberately asked for that heavenly poison demon seed precisely to show it to Wu Qiuse!"

"I also guessed that Wu Qiuse would most likely come to capture me after seeing the heavenly poison demon seed."

"How could I not be prepared?"

"But... wouldn't we lose a heavenly poison demon seed this way? That's a Heaven Grade Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure!"

Well, Xu Yourong also realized that her lisp was severe.

With conscious effort to control it, it improved significantly.

Yang Yundu, upon hearing this, chuckled, "What loss is that? I was going to give the heavenly poison demon seed to Wu Nanfeng anyway. Even if that guy Wu Nanfeng didn't ask for it, I would have to find a way to give it to him."

"Ah, why..."

"Because only by giving the heavenly poison demon seed to Wu Nanfeng would it appear in Wu Qiuse's hands, and only then could it potentially be delivered to Li Yun through Wu Qiuse's hand."

"Now everything is just as I guessed."

"That old guy Wu Qiuse has indeed buried the hatchet with Li Yun and wants to use this opportunity to further improve his relationship with Li Yun."

"Too bad, he doesn't know."

"If he doesn't take out the heavenly poison demon seed, then fine, but as long as he dares to take it out... bang, this guy Li Yun will definitely die, and even Wu Qiuse himself, and the people behind Li Yun, will be in trouble!"

Seeing Yang Yundu's smug look.

Xu Yourong immediately reacted and said with extreme delight, "Yun Tu Ke Ke... did you tamper with the heavenly poison demon seed?"

Here it comes again!

As she got excited, the air leaked again.

Yang Yundu looked at Xu Yourong, who was full of surprise but had a gaping tooth hole when she opened her mouth, and felt truly overwhelmed.

"Alright, stop talking, it's enough that you know."

"Let's hurry and leave now, find a place to get those two teeth fixed... otherwise, if this lisping continues, I'll be blown away by you."

"So annoying... Yun Tu Ke Ke, you're mocking me, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
