Mu Hanyan found it a bit strange. If this guy wanted to seize the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pond, he could just take action directly. Why bother with such petty tricks? However, upon reconsidering, he vaguely understood.
Since Ye Lanfeng had seen him once before, although he coveted the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pond, he couldn't snatch it outright. Acting secretly might also expose him. Even if he didn't, Ye Lanfeng could easily trace it back to him. After all, the Holy Court has its rules, and each country on the continent has its own. Plus, the Holy Court and the countries are now wary of each other despite appearances. With his status, he couldn't just act recklessly.
So he simply took advantage of the opportunity when Fang Town was under attack by Exotic Beasts to openly exploit the situation.
Fortunately, the Family Head Fang adhered to his duties as a household head and resisted the pressure, not agreeing to it. Otherwise, it would have been a real bargain for him.
