Chapter 1583

Only those who harbor the intention to harm others and carry out the act of harming others will worry at every moment about being harmed or tracked themselves.

This is also a manifestation of a guilty conscience.

Dong Rui hummed: "Letting this guy escape, it won't be easy to catch his tail next time."

Tianshui City is so big; Tian Yun has shed his skin like a cicada, so where is He Lingchuan going to catch him again? "Let's reorganize," He Lingchuan pulled him to the side, "The murderer who killed Boss Situ Yu has targeted the two of us; there may be two reasons: one is being entrusted by others, and the second is aiming for the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds."

The Black Armored Army took away the person's demon puppets and even let Xiao An go; this grudge is huge.

Dong Rui said lazily: "Perhaps both reasons exist."

"If we have revealed any flaws in the past, it's mostly you."

Dong Rui was startled, then furious: "What? Who did you say revealed a flaw!"

Saying he's unprofessional? This is a very serious accusation!

"I've thought about it over and over; your Ghost Ape only had one public transformation on the Flash Gold Plain, seen by everyone, which was that time in the Boss Situ family's territory when you led the crowd to snipe at the Profound Lu Ghost King," He Lingchuan analyzed. "Others might just let it go after seeing it, only thinking this monster is quite remarkable. But in the eyes of other demon puppeteers, this might be worth scrutinizing."

Dong Rui was dissatisfied: "Hey, there are many types of demon apes; who would conclude it's a demon puppet right away?"

"I think Tian Yun was also half-believing and half-doubting, which is why he came to probe," He Lingchuan patted his shoulder, "Speaking of the matter itself, I don't mean to blame you; at that time, who could have known there were demon puppeteer organizations on the Flash Gold Plain?"

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts can see the doorway.

He Lingchuan added: "His insect puppet wanted to drill into your mountain kiln. Heh, I don't know if I'm his target, but you definitely are!"

Dong Rui's face twitched: "He can just bring it on; let's see who can take whom down."

Does he really think he's a soft persimmon that's easy to squeeze? He Lingchuan pondered: "We won't be staying in Tianshui City for long either. For the next few days, you should honestly stay in the villa and don't run around; I will strengthen the care for you."

Dong Rui patted his own chest: "How can there be a reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days? Why not lure him out and kill him?"

He was willing to use himself as bait.

"We can try." Since he knows the other party has ulterior motives, He Lingchuan also hopes to nip the danger in the bud. "But this person didn't appear early or late, but chose this moment; I'm afraid the matter isn't simple."

"If he was invited by Qingyang—" Dong Rui thought for a moment and shook his head, "Hey, would Qingyang make a move on you at this time?"

"Logically speaking, he shouldn't." Qingyang seems to be preparing for a big plan and big moves, so he shouldn't be moving against He Lingchuan at this time.

At a critical juncture, it's better to avoid trouble. How many storms has Qingyang experienced in his life? He wouldn't fail to understand such a simple truth.

But He Lingchuan also understood that plans cannot keep up with changes. Qingyang's secret planning also has to face countless accidents; not everything can be calculated perfectly.

Just at this moment, someone came to report that they had found a beetle with a red line on its abdomen from a dirt pit by the Apricot Terrace; it was dead.

He Lingchuan immediately instructed Dong Rui and Ling Guang: "The two of you, make an insecticidal agent, preferably one that can be sprayed. I intend to spray the entire villa."

Pest control in key areas is not difficult; Dong Rui nodded: "Leave it to me."

Not long after, the bat demon puppet flew over and landed on his shoulder.

It's unknown how these two communicated, but Dong Rui's spirit lifted: "It says it has a discovery."

He Lingchuan followed him to White Birch Ridge and saw the Ghost Ape guarding under a thick white birch, not allowing others to approach.

Under the tree roots, there was a small dug-out dirt pit. The two lowered their heads to look, and inside lay two things the size of fists, round and slightly yellow; at first glance, they looked like steamed buns, but there were fine threads on the surface.

He Lingchuan looked for a long time but couldn't identify them: "What is this?"

Dong Rui picked up a branch and gently touched it, but the yellow bun moved a few times, as if it were a bit impatient.

"There is a living thing inside," he speculated, "probably some kind of egg... spore?"

Wansai Feng saw it from the side and said in a low voice: "Be careful, it might explode."

Dong Rui chuckled: "Tian Yun has already left; this thing should be relatively stable."

Tian Yun buried them here, of course, hoping to use them later.

Dong Rui took out a bottle, gently sprinkled some cyan powder on these two yellow buns, let them sit for a while, and then used a branch to poke them.

This time, the yellow buns didn't move.

Only then did Dong Rui carefully wrap them up and stuff them into the Ghost Ape's hand: "Put them in the mountain kiln later."

Not long after, the crowd also dug up several yellow buns near the Sweet Spring.

He Lingchuan asked: "Are you sure these are the things Tian Yun buried in the dirt?"

Could it be that they were originally in the ground?

"The powder I sprinkled is specifically for calming demon puppets. Back then, the Hinge-Tailed Tiger, the Woodlouse, and the Porcupine only ate this, which is why they slept all the way to Mangzhou." Conversely, the powder taking effect means these yellow buns...

Dong Rui rubbed his hands, somewhat excited: "There's something fun again!"

Tian Yun burying these egg spores in the dirt definitely didn't have good intentions.

"We and Tian Yun are currently tied." They saw through Tian Yun's identity and purpose and dug up the spores he had quietly buried in Yongquan Shanzhuang; while Tian Yun successfully dodged the tracking and counterattack of Yongquan Shanzhuang and hid his tracks.

In the next round, will it be time to see the real deal?

￥￥￥￥￥

After Tian Yun left the Yihe Bank, he circled Tianshui City a few more times until he was sure there were no pursuers behind him, and only then did he walk into another inn in the east of the city.

On the way, he had already changed his clothes.

The disciples were waiting in the guest room.

As soon as the master entered the guest room, those who were concerned about his well-being did so, those who served tea served tea, and some even offered warm, damp towels for him to wash his face and wipe his hands. Two other disciples stood by the window, consciously keeping watch.

Tian Yun sat on the couch and drank a cup of tea, slowly relaxing.

Although the man surnamed He had the face of a merchant, Tian Yun saw at first glance that he was not simple.

He is not an easy target to kill.

Tian Yun said slowly: "The man surnamed He is suspicious; Qingyang was not wrong. He really cares about his own life; Yongquan Shanzhuang's defenses are tight, with a guard every five steps. I think it's best not to make a move at the villa."

His real name was of course not Tian Yun, but Cao Wendao.

"Master, did you find Wei Yishan?"

"Hmm, I found him."

The disciple's flattery was never late: "As expected of Master, success at the first attempt! If it were us, with the villa being so big, we wouldn't know where to look for Wei Yishan."

The others on the side cursed inwardly, Bah, this guy snatched the lead again. The person's mouth is as if it had been smeared with oil, very slippery.
