Hearing Yin Bei’s provocation, Hong Wuya stopped struggling. His face was grim. “Do you really think we know nothing?”
A look of interest appeared on Yin Bei’s face when he heard this. “You mean Han Bingling? She really thinks she’s smart, but there will always be someone smarter.… Heh, that bitch didn’t even know I’ve planted someone around her for ages. Every move of her is always in my eyes. Especially her recent plans. I’ve to admit, it is a brilliant plan to secretly deploy those killing formations around the secret passages. If I hadn’t known about it, many of my people would surely fall for it.”
Seeing the change in Hong Wuya’s expression, Yin Bei was pleasured. Perhaps because he believed he had absolute control over Hong Wuya, Yin Bei continued to speak without caring. “As for that old man Tian, heh. The Peng clan is enough to restrain him. And if he really thinks his so-called trump card underneath the Sky Peak could save him, I must say he’s too na?ve. I will let him see how I destroy his proud academy sooner or later.”
Hong Wuya’s face was unsightly beyond words. He couldn’t believe Yin Bei had meticulously planned everything out like this. It turned out everyone was always dancing in his palm for all this time.
The smile on Yin Bei’s face grew thicker. “Oh right. I almost forgot it.” He leaned forward gently and whispered in Hong Wuya’s ear. “Let me tell you another piece of my secret. I’ve already found a way to control the divine city. Could you imagine what would happen next?”
Hong Wuya’s pupils shrank. His body shivered involuntarily. The Profound Sky Divine City could be considered the greatest secret of the Northern Continent. Only a handful of people were aware that the whole city was an artifact that could be controlled.
Throughout the years, these people tried their best to figure out a way to control it, but none of them could succeed. Although Hong Wuya didn’t believe that Yin Bei could do it as he said, he had no way of refuting it… What if it was true? The Profound Sky Divine City was akin to the capital of the Northern Continent. Once it fell into Yin Bei’s hand, it was difficult to imagine the consequence.
Yin Bei could see through Hong Wuya’s thoughts. He chuckled slightly and said. “Don’t believe it? Hehe. I really have no idea why all of you are so stupid after occupying the divine city for thousands of years.”
He paused for a moment, enjoying the look of shock on Hong Wuya’s face, before continuing. “I’ll give you some hints… Since the divine city is an artifact from the Divine World, it naturally possesses its own spiritual consciousness.”
Listening to this point, a horrible idea immediately emerged in Hong Wuya’s mind. Everyone who knew about the divine city was naturally aware of the artifact’s spiritual consciousness. However, they had tried to find it for years, but nothing could be found in the end.
“You might think why I said this since everyone is aware of this point?” Yin Bei laughed. “You’re right. I found it a long time ago and even have a way to control it.”
Hong Wuya’s expression completely changed. If it was the case, there was no hope for the Northern Continent.
“Feeling despair?” Yin Bei curled his lips. “Don’t worry, I will keep you until that time so you can watch your friends, disciples, and the Northern Continent that you deeply love fall apart by me… Ah… I couldn’t wait for it!”
Hong Wuya stared at Yin Bei, who was immersed in his own pleasure, with immense killing intent. He had initially thought that the Poison Valley could at most launch a few surprising moves. However, he suddenly realized everything that he, Han Bingling, and Principal Tian had meticulously prepared was all useless now.
At this moment, Yin Bei suddenly paused his movement as he received a message from his subordinate. A trace of surprise appeared on his face. “That Yin Shang failed to capture the woman from the Divine Thunder Palace because a young master of the Myriad Pill Palace was on the ship? How ridiculous. She has totally lost us faces.”
Seeing Yin Bei was distracted, a fierce light flashed through Hong Wuya’s eyes as he moved his arm. A column of crimson flames appeared before him, blasting Yin Bei, who was caught off-guard, away.
Hong Wuya’s entire body instantly glowed a burning red. His eyes fixated on Yin Bei with extreme hatred before his figure gradually blurred and disappeared from the spot.
Yin Bei managed to stabilize himself in almost an instant upon being blasted away, but he simply couldn’t stop Hong Wuya from escaping. His handsome face couldn’t help distort in anger as he stared at the position where Hong Wuya disappeared.
“Damn it!” Yin Bei cursed aloud. He had just ridiculed Yin Shang earlier for making everyone lose faces, yet he had actually committed such a simple mistake. If this matter spread out, he would undoubtedly get ridiculed by everyone.
Yin Bei swept his gaze over the profound beasts behind him and said coldly. “I will kill everyone that utter a word about this. Understand!?”
The profound beasts were shivering in fright and hurriedly nodded their heads.
Yin Bei took a deep breath and looked in the Northern Continent’s direction. “Never mind. I’ll let you have a good life for the time being.”

Han Bingling and Lin Zixuan watched everything displayed on the light curtain with severe expressions. They had the same shocking feeling as Hong Wuya when he first listened to Yin Bei’s words. .
Lin Zixuan tapped the profound imaginary stone, and the light curtain instantly vanished. She put the stone away and said solemnly. “We cannot tell anyone about this until we find all the moles.”
Han Bingling closed her eyes gently and said. “I thought everything would be better after getting rid of Yin Qiao. It seems I am really incompetent.”
Lin Zixuan didn’t say anything to comfort Han Bingling. She would be no different if she was in Han Bingling’s position.
