Chapter 1052: Deadly Toxin
Young Master Luo felt a shiver run through his heart. It was clear that Zhuó Yèhuá wanted to confirm his identity. If he couldn’t convince him, he would likely die right here on the spot.
His mind spun quickly, and he soon came up with an explanation: "I am a close confidant of Lord Xue Tianyu, specifically responsible for transmitting secret messages for him. Just now, he had to feign socializing with Fànyú, so he sent me to convey a message instead."
Saying this, Young Master Luo pretended to cautiously glance around to make sure no one was nearby before lowering his voice to whisper, "Lord Xue Tianyu is prepared and can assassinate Fànyú at any moment, but he needs your assistance to provide an opportunity."
Upon hearing the words "assassinate Fànyú," Zhuó Yèhuá’s cautious expression vanished, leaving no trace of doubt.
Young Master Luo knew even such a secret message as ’assassinate Fànyú,’ proving he was indeed Xue Tianyu’s trusted aide.
Zhuó Yèhuá looked off in the direction of the Right Hall, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of thick walls to see Fànyú meditating in the secret chamber, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Fànyú hides in the Temple of Agony all day, making it difficult to strike. But we can be flexible; I’ll design a trap to make him expose Her Majesty the Agony Queen’s location! As long as I can meet Her Majesty and receive her reward to enhance my power, I can crush Fànyú in an instant."
At this point, Zhuó Yèhuá paused, his expression serious as he looked down at Young Master Luo and said, "On the night of the full moon five days from now, the Divine Nectar will be fully brewed. I will transfer the real Divine Nectar and leave some Secretion in the Honey Pool for Xue Tianyu to steal and present to Fànyú as Divine Nectar. Fànyú will then take the Secretion to present to Her Majesty. All I need is to track the scent of the Secretion to find Her Majesty, then offer the real Divine Nectar..."
"But what if Fànyú recognizes it as Secretion?" Young Master Luo asked cautiously.
"Only our Insect Race knows what Divine Nectar truly looks like. Fànyú could never recognize the fake one. Besides, I’ll intentionally leak the brewing time of the Divine Nectar to lure Fànyú in." Zhuó Yèhuá replied dismissively.
Young Master Luo’s eyes darted around as he said, "When we go to the Beehive to steal the Divine Nectar, the bee insects there might not know we’re working for you and could try to stop us. Can you give me a token?"
Zhuó Yèhuá pondered for a moment and said, "Here’s what we’ll do! I’ll give you a drop of Divine Nectar Diluent as a token. If any bee insects try to stop you, show them this drop of Diluent, and they won’t stop you once they catch its scent."
Saying this, Zhuó Yèhuá turned his palm over, produced a bottle, and handed it to Young Master Luo.
Young Master Luo immediately reached out with both hands to respectfully receive the bottle, which contained a drop of colorless, transparent liquid rolling around the bottom.
"This is diluted a thousand times Divine Nectar, containing one-thousandth of a drop of Divine Nectar, with only one-thousandth of the effect, yet for you, it’s a rare Treasure. Once the task is complete, this drop of Divine Nectar Diluent will be your reward!" Zhuó Yèhuá said and waved his hand, "You may go now! I need to hurry and heal, do not disturb me again."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Young Master Luo bowed and withdrew step by step from the chamber, only turning to leave briskly once he was outside the door.
Tightly grasped in his hand was the bottle, its content, the colorless and tasteless Divine Nectar Diluent, constantly in motion.

Meanwhile, across on Hero’s Continent, in the conference room of the City Hall in Dragon City, Huang Yi’s Incarnation was in discussions with the upper echelons of the Hero Empire about overseas expansion plans.
Since Huang Yi was promoted to General after the national war, his Hero Empire gained the qualification for overseas expansion. Plus, now as the World’s Guardian, he has special privileges in this regard, making overseas expansion imperative.
At this time, all the elders of the Hero Guild were offering suggestions and arguing fervently, while Huang Yi sat on the podium, listening intently.
Just then, he suddenly received a message from the Demonic Beast Mountain Range Research Base —
"God of Slaughter, come quickly! Something has happened here!"
The message conveyed a sense of urgency so intense, it made one’s heart inexplicably clench.
"Something’s happened at the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, I’m heading there immediately! Continue without me!" Huang Yi’s Incarnation hastily left a directive and got up to depart.
Soon after, Huang Yi teleported to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range Research Base.
Upon arrival, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.
At that moment, the open space surrounding the research base was packed with people, all staring gravely at the spire building in the center of the research base, whispering to each other intermittently.
Following their gaze, Huang Yi looked at the spire building. At this moment, it was tightly enveloped by a Barrier, isolated from the outside, leaving the situation inside unknown.
"God of Slaughter, you’re here!" At that moment, a voice rang out as several figures walked out from the crowd.
At the forefront was a figure with blood-red wings and slender hands dripping with fresh blood, none other than one of the Semigod Guardians of the Hero Empire — Blood Hand Asura, Liehong.
