Jiang Yun was well aware that after today’s events, he and Wan Hongbo were already enemies. Furthermore, since this mutated Yao Beast egg was masterless and could make him stronger, there was no reason to refuse it!
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun didn't even need Bai Ze's guidance. The entire scene within the Illusory Beast Diagram immediately appeared in his mind, allowing him to easily spot a white spherical object buried deep underground.
“That’s it!”
He issued a command to the Han Ming Winged Bat, and immediately a pangolin burrowed directly underground, embraced the Yao Beast egg, and then made its way towards Jiang Yun’s location.
At the same time, Wan Hongbo, who was about to exit the Illusory Beast Diagram, suddenly scowled, turned sharply, and glared at Jiang Yun, saying, “How dare you!”
As his voice fell, Wan Hongbo raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Yun from a distance.
Clearly, Wan Hongbo had already detected Jiang Yun’s intention, and this utterly ignited his murderous intent.
Jiang Yun killing Fang Ruolin was something he could ignore, but now Jiang Yun dared to snatch away his mutated Yao Beast egg; that was simply seeking death.
Looking at Wan Hongbo’s incoming finger, Jiang Yun’s Physical Body was immediately suppressed, unable to move. A Dongtian cultivator’s attack was simply not something he could contend with at his current state.

However, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the Han Ming Winged Bat suddenly flapped its wings again. Immediately, faint ripples appeared and wildly surged in various parts of this flat world.
Under this surge, Wan Hongbo’s expression changed again, because he could clearly feel that the power of these rippling waves, like undercurrents, were all rushing towards him.
“Bang!”
Despite this, Wan Hongbo’s finger still easily pointed out, and a crisp cracking sound was heard. The world within this Illusory Beast Diagram suddenly showed countless fractured fine lines.
As for Jiang Yun, under that single point, he vomited blood wildly, and his entire body flew backward uncontrollably. At this moment, countless Physical Body powers within him accelerated their circulation, rapidly repairing the almost penetrating wound that had appeared on his chest.
“Whoosh!”
After exhaling a long breath, Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, staring intently at Wan Hongbo and saying, “Peak Master Wan, there are a few things I don’t understand!”
Wan Hongbo’s expression was also extremely grim, because those invisible ripples, like shackles, bound him, clearly compressing his Cave Heaven Realm cultivation layer by layer, directly dropping it to the first level of the Blessed Land Realm.
Otherwise, that single point would have been enough to easily kill Jiang Yun.
He naturally knew better than anyone that this was the binding power of the Illusory Beast Diagram, and this was also the method he originally used to control the strength of the Yao Beasts within it.
But he never expected that now, Jiang Yun would use the Han Ming Winged Bat to suppress him instead.
“If you don’t understand, then don’t bother understanding!”
Wan Hongbo had no intention of wasting words with Jiang Yun. He raised his hand again, and accompanied by a sharp beast roar, a hundred-zhang-long phantom suddenly burst forth from his body, transforming into a massive Centipede, charging towards Jiang Yun with bared fangs and claws.
Because countless Vicious Beasts still feared Jiang Yun at this moment, Wan Hongbo dared not directly approach, and thus could only attack in this manner.
Jiang Yun also extended a finger, and immediately mist billowed. Within the mist, there was also a strong sense of extreme cold, as if capable of freezing all things. The two combined and met the Centipede phantom.
“Boom!”
The two collided heavily. Although Jiang Yun’s mist instantly collapsed, the Centipede was also frozen in mid-air by the exploding power of ice and cold.
Naturally, this power of ice and cold came from the Han Ming Winged Bat.
Jiang Yun’s body was once again sent flying backward, and blood began to gush from all seven of his orifices. Even with the Han Ming Winged Bat’s assistance, and even with Wan Hongbo’s strength suppressed to the first level of the Blessed Land Realm, he was still no match for Wan Hongbo.
Jiang Yun didn’t even have time to wipe away the blood, and once again stood up from the ground, saying, “Peak Master Wan, I would like to ask, what is this thing?!”
As he spoke, Jiang Yun had already extended two fingers and pointed them at the Han Ming Winged Bat’s glabella, which had remained close by his side.
Jiang Yun’s two fingers seemed illusory as they directly entered the Han Ming Winged Bat’s head. Immediately after, he pulled outward, forcibly extracting a bean-sized ball of light, within which was a small white jade slip.
Seeing this white ball of light, Wan Hongbo’s expression finally changed completely. Although he wanted to say he didn’t know, at this very moment, the many Peak Masters and Elders outside the Illusory Beast Diagram immediately recognized this ball of light.
Lan Huazhao frowned slightly and said, “This is Junior Brother Wan’s Mother-Child Beast Jade. One is the Mother Jade, and the other is the Child Jade. With this item, anyone can control beasts much more powerful than themselves.”
At the same time Lan Huazhao spoke, Wei Zhengyang, who had remained silent, shook his head and quietly took a step backward, instantly vanishing without a trace.
Previously, when Fang Ruolin was killed, and when Fang Ruolin revealed the truth about Sha Jingshan and others being forced away, Wei Zhengyang did not leave. But at this moment, he knew full well that Wan Hongbo would not only be unable to kill Jiang Yun today, but there was also a great possibility that Jiang Yun would turn the tables on him. Therefore, he had to leave.
Jiang Yun’s voice rang out again: “If I’m not mistaken, Fang Ruolin should also have an identical item on her, right? Peak Master Wan, I wonder if you can give this Disciple an explanation for this matter?”
In fact, Jiang Yun had long sensed this item in the Han Ming Winged Bat’s mind and had guessed that it was the key for Fang Ruolin to control it.
It was just that Jiang Yun was not sure whether this jade slip belonged to Fang Ruolin or Wan Hongbo, so he had never exposed the matter. But now that Wan Hongbo wanted to kill him, he naturally had no qualms and unhesitatingly took out the jade slip. He never expected that he would accidentally hit the mark and guess correctly.
Combining the words of Lan Huazhao and Jiang Yun, everyone’s faces successively showed expressions of sudden realization.
Initially, when they saw Fang Ruolin controlling the Han Ming Winged Bat, most of them were a bit puzzled, but considering that Fang Ruolin, as Fang Yuxuan’s sister, naturally had countless good things on her, they didn’t pay too much attention.
But now that Lan Huazhao personally stated that the jade slip controlling the Han Ming Winged Bat belonged to Wan Hongbo, there was no doubt that Wan Hongbo had given it to Fang Ruolin beforehand.
This kind of behavior was helping Fang Ruolin cheat!
At this, the crowd immediately became agitated. Countless Disciples once again spoke in unison, even shouting curses.
“Despicable!”
“Too shameless! As a Peak Master, he actually helped Fang Ruolin cheat!”
“Then why bother with this ‘Challenging the Five Peaks’? On the surface, it gives us a chance, but secretly it’s already fixed. Hmph, I suspect whether the other four peaks are also like this. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!”
One sharp accusation after another not only put Wan Hongbo in a difficult position, but also made the faces of the other three Peak Masters look grim, and their gazes towards Wan Hongbo held a hint of displeasure.
Regardless of the Disciples’ curses or the Peak Masters’ accusing gazes, Wan Hongbo’s eyes were filled with resentment. He sneered and said, “Jiang Yun, you not only harmed a fellow Disciple and disregarded the Sect’s rules, but you also spoke disrespectfully to an Elder, showed no regard for your seniors, and were even lawless, daring to snatch my belongings. You are indeed a wild bumpkin, without parents to discipline you. Today, I will discipline you well on behalf of your parents!”
“Boom boom boom!”
As Wan Hongbo’s voice fell, a powerful Qi suddenly erupted from his body. Faintly visible, the faint ripples that bound him like shackles shattered layer by layer.
“Go to hell!”
Wan Hongbo, having recovered his Cave Heaven Realm strength, suddenly stretched out both hands towards Jiang Yun. The entire world within the Illusory Beast Diagram trembled violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse as well.
And just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out: “What are you? Even if someone from my Hidden Peak doesn’t understand the rules, it’s not your place to teach them!”
