He was very sure that no formation could trap Lin Yi, at least not in the Primordial Underworld.
Since it was Lin Yi who asked her to enter, Bing Wuqing naturally did not hesitate and immediately stepped in.
"Alright, since he's here, the three of you can have a good talk. I hope there'll be good news when I come back later. Of course, it'll be good news for you too. Otherwise, you'll be imprisoned in this dark place for the rest of your lives. I'm sure it'll be very frustrating, right?" Qiu Mingchong laughed, closed the iron door, and left.
"Boss, what's going on?" Bing Wuqing nodded slightly at Duan Muyu, who was beside her, as a form of greeting, and asked directly. Lin Yi's letter to him did not mention the specific situation. He only asked him to come over, and he was still confused until now.
Duan Muyu couldn't help but look at Lin Yi in surprise when she heard this tone. Previously, during the Primordial Trials, she did see that there should be some tacit understanding and connection between the two, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of relationship. From this tone, Bing Wuqing was clearly like Wu Chentian and the others, becoming a loyal subordinate of Lin Yi.
Others might not be much, but Bing Wuqing was a famous super genius in the entire Primordial Underworld. She had always been arrogant and rarely looked others in the eye. Now, she was actually willing to submit to Lin Yi. This was really a little embarrassing.
However, when she remembered that the other party was Lin Yi, after the shock, Duan Muyu felt that this matter was reasonable. Back in the Primordial Trials, even a legendary existence like Jiuying was frightened by Lin Yi. As long as he wanted to, subduing Bing Wuqing was naturally a piece of cake.
Lin Yi told the whole story in a few words. After listening, Bing Wuqing had a strange expression on her face. She carefully looked at Lin Yi and Duan Muyu, and finally came to a conclusion. "I didn't know that the higher-ups of the Ye Ling Sect are really good at courting death."
He could tell that Duan Muyu and Lin Yi's relationship was not ordinary. Moreover, these people had actually blackmailed Lin Yi himself. If this wasn't courting death, what was? In comparison, the upper echelon members of the Snow Sword School were rather tactful.
"…" Duanmu Yu was speechless. Even from her point of view, she felt that the higher-ups of her sect were courting death. She wasn't worried about Lin Yi and her situation at all. Instead, she was more worried about Ye Ling Sect. What if they really angered Lin Yi this time and he casually destroyed the entire sect?
Putting everything else aside, she still had deep feelings for the Ye Ling Sect.
"Then what does Boss mean?" Bing Wuqing looked at Lin Yi. There was no need for him to use his brain in such a situation. He would just do whatever Lin Yi said. Even if Lin Yi ordered him to destroy the entire Ye Ling Sect, he would absolutely not object. Of course, for the sake of Duanmu Yu, Lin Yi would definitely not do so.
"There's no hurry. By the way, you saw Qiu Mingchong just now. Did he look familiar?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.
"Qiu Mingchong?" Bing Wuqing thought for a moment and said, "He just went to the secular world to train. There doesn't seem to be anything special about him … Wait, he does look a little familiar!"
"Seems like I'm not mistaken. He's one of them." Lin Yi nodded.
"What are you guys talking about?" Duanmu Yu was confused. She had no idea what the two of them were talking about.
Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing looked at each other. They didn't hide anything anymore and revealed everything. "There's an extremely mysterious and powerful organization in the secular world called the Center. After this training in the secular world, they've already instigated many spies in various Primordial Sects. If I'm not wrong, they've already brought people to infiltrate the Primordial Underworld. After lying low for a period of time, they'll probably start to encroach on the Primordial Alliance."
"Encroach on the Primordial Alliance? Is that even possible? " Duanmu Yu was dumbfounded. She had never seen the Center's strength and resources. Moreover, she was born and raised in the Primordial Underworld. When she suddenly heard this, she naturally felt that it was a fantasy story.
"Of course it's possible. They can easily create a bunch of Nascent Soul Old Monsters. Given time, how difficult would it be to encroach on the Primordial Alliance?" Lin Yi said.
"Create a bunch of Nascent Soul Old Monsters …" Duanmu Yu was completely dumbfounded. Nascent Soul Old Monsters were the highest combat power in the Primordial Underworld. If they could really mass produce them, not to mention encroaching on the Primordial Alliance, it wouldn't be difficult for them to directly control the entire Primordial Underworld!
Although she was horrified, Duanmu Yu quickly recovered. At least on the surface, she had regained her composure. She changed the topic and asked, "Then you said Qiu Mingchong is …"
"He's one of the chess pieces that the Center has secretly instigated." Lin Yi confirmed. From the first time he met Qiu Mingchong, he had already been suspicious. However, he didn't have a complete grasp of the Center's list of instigated defections. He could only rely on his initial observations. Unless he paid special attention, he would only leave a slight impression. It was only now that he had Bing Wuqing's testimony that he was completely certain.
Of course, Bing Wuqing couldn't fully grasp the list of instigated defections. However, every time she contacted the bespectacled doctor, she would more or less meet with other people. Even if she didn't say it explicitly, she could still make some guesses.
"There's such a thing?" Duanmu Yu was instantly shocked and angry. Although it was a question, there was no doubt about the meaning behind it. Otherwise, there was no way to explain Qiu Mingchong's recent abnormal behavior. Although this guy always had the intention of replacing her, he didn't have the guts to do so in the past.
As the three of them spoke, the iron door outside opened. Qiu Mingchong stood at the door and asked, "How did the discussion go?"
"Oh, you mean the Consciousness Grass? Sorry, it's already been used up by Bing Wuqing." Lin Yi answered casually. This was the truth. The Consciousness Grass had indeed been used up by Bing Wuqing.
"Yes, it's quite delicious." Bing Wuqing took the opportunity to reply. She turned to look at Duanmu Yu and said, "You ate it too. How did it taste?"
"It was indeed quite delicious." Duanmu Yu cooperated. Since they already knew that the other party was a spy from the Center, this matter was no longer something that she or anyone else sent by Ye Ling could deal with. They could only let Lin Yi handle it. They would do whatever Lin Yi said.
"What? You ate it? " Qiu Mingchong exploded in anger. This time, he had used the Consciousness Grass to stir up trouble not just to replace Duanmu Yu's position. More importantly, he had received orders from the Center. If he couldn't fish in troubled waters and get the Consciousness Grass, the consequences would be unimaginable.
