The Black Sky Cult's long-planned surprise attack could be considered to have ended in failure.
However, the shock it left behind for the various righteous sects was far from over.
"So close, so close!"
"Strange, that Lu Sanding should have been replaced by the Black Sky Cult's demon Lu Buchen. Why did he change sides at the last minute?"
"Not sure. It's a pity that Lu Buchen was killed on the spot by the Thousand-Armed Man Butcher. There's no way to find out the inside story."
Someone spoke of Kitts again.
"Fortunately, someone rushed into the demonic array area and destroyed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Otherwise, if Qiu Zhenli got his hands on it, it would definitely cause another twist and turn."
"Who destroyed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner? He should know some inside story. "
"Hiss … Why do I feel that the one who destroyed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner wasn't a living person?"
"Eh?! You think so too? But he clearly has his own will. He doesn't look like a puppet creation, nor does he look like he's being controlled by someone. "
"Perhaps the expert used some superb technique like a dragon hibernating to hide his own life force and aura. He destroyed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner for us and removed the threat."
There were differing opinions, and no conclusion could be reached.
If it had been an undead creature with low intelligence that was controlled by Bai Xiaowen, such as the Death Knight, these righteous experts would have long seen through its true form.
Before and after Kitts broke the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, that series of mutterings clearly showed that he was a person with his own will and not a puppet controlled by someone. Therefore, a group of cultivator experts, including Qiu Zhenli, mistakenly believed that Kitts was an expert in disguise.
The most important reason for this expert's image was that Kitts seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, shuttling through the dangerous demonic array chaotic area to reach the center of the demonic array.
This was something that all the righteous experts present, including the suzerain level experts, found difficult to do. Of course, they wouldn't believe that a corpse puppet could do it.
Many people began to search for Kitts, but there was no trace of him.
The reason was very simple. When the righteous experts captured the remaining ten elders of the Black Sky Cult, the situation was chaotic, and Bai Xiaowen took the opportunity to recall Kitts.
It had to be said here that in the world of evolvers, the rules had become real. There was no difference between combat and non-combat state.
Bai Xiaowen could recall his summoned creatures regardless of whether he was in battle or not. However, he had to prepare for it for a short period of time. After testing, it was about one to ten seconds. The further the summoned creature was from Bai Xiaowen, the longer it would take to prepare.
Bai Xiaowen could also recall multiple summoned creatures at the same time. However, the summoned creature would not be able to move while it was being recalled.
Due to the time limit, it was very difficult to recall a summoned creature to dodge a skill during a battle. Unless it was a skill that took a long time to charge up, Bai Xiaowen would not be able to recall it in time.
If Bai Xiaowen recalled his summoned creature during battle, he could summon it again. Of course, the health and spiritual energy lost by the summoned creatures would not be recovered for no reason.
Since they couldn't find Keats, the people from Shangqing school collected the eleven Wraith Streamers on the field.
Someone said, "These Wraith Streamers were refined from the resentment of living people. They are harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth. They should all be destroyed."
However, someone immediately retorted, "Since they have already been refined, there is no need to destroy them. Using these sinister magical tools to deal with the demons of the Black Sky Cult, fighting poison with poison can achieve miraculous results."
Most of the people who proposed to destroy them were people from other sects. And the one who retorted was actually an elder from Shangqing school.
With this elder from Shangqing school taking the lead, some small sects and powers close to Shangqing school all spoke out, believing that the Wraith Streamers should not be destroyed.
Shangqing school's Great Elder Chen Zhihe held a Wraith Streamer with a strange expression. He waved his hand and ordered his disciples to bring the remaining Wraith Streamers over. He examined them one by one.
After a while, Chen Zhihe raised his voice and said, "There is no need to argue. The resentful spirits stored in these Wraith Streamers have all been removed. They have already been destroyed. "
"Ah?"
"There was such a thing?"
The various righteous sects were inexplicably shocked.
Chen Zhihe was too lazy to argue. He waved his hand and ordered his disciples to distribute the eleven Wraith Streamers. He said, "Give them to the various sects and ask them to take a look."
Everyone passed it around.
Even Bai Xiaowen took it. After taking it in his hand, he swept it with his Eye of Evolution and got a prompt:
[Wraith Streamer (damaged): Gray quality, hardness D-, blunt C-, spiritual power increase by one level.]
[Description: This item has lost its most important reserve of resentful spirits. It has been completely damaged and cannot be repaired.]
Bai Xiaowen shook his head slightly and passed it on for others to see.
This time, everyone was speechless.
Chen Zhihe raised his voice and said, "I don't know which expert helped our Shangqing school get through this calamity and destroyed the conspiracy of the Black Sky Cult. Please show yourself! "
Bai Xiaowen was silent.
Chen Zhihe raised his voice and said it twice more, but did not get a response.
He shook his head and sighed. "The expert is truly elusive, hiding his achievements and fame deeply. It's admirable."
Bai Xiaowen said in his heart. If not for the fact that he had little capital and was unwilling to take the risk, he would definitely stand out and ask for enough benefits for this favor from the Shangqing school.
If Bai Xiaowen wanted to stand out, why would he need to go through the trouble of controlling Kitts to travel through the demonic array and destroy the Ten Thousand Soul Streamer?
But this time, Bai Xiaowen was not without gain.
It was the bead of unknown material that Kitts obtained after destroying the Ten Thousand Soul Streamer!
He got the answer with a sweep of his Eye of Evolution.
[Thousand Soul Jade: Level 4 Epic Treasure (Purple), source of spiritual power, Yin attribute.]
What quality was Epic?
Simply put, it was a grade higher than Dark Gold.
Bai Xiaowen already knew that Dark Gold corresponded to Lord, and Purple corresponded to King. Purple equipment was called "Epic equipment," and Purple treasures were naturally Epic treasures.
This was the first time Bai Xiaowen had obtained an Epic item.
Most importantly, this was a "source of spiritual power!"
The White Phoenix Territory's Five Elements Great Array had a source of spiritual power as the eye of the array. The only thing that Bai Xiaowen was worried about was that this Thousand Soul Jade's grade was too high. What if the other Five Elements treasures he found could not keep up?
Bai Xiaowen checked the rules of the Spiritual Realm in passing and was reassured by the reply.
It turned out that to set up the Five Elements Great Array, he only needed to find Five Elements treasures of the same grade. As for the source of spiritual power, the grade requirement was that it could not be lower than the Five Elements treasures. It did not matter if it was one or two grades higher.
As the source of spiritual power, it was also where the eye of the array was located. It was equivalent to the CPU of a computer or the engine of a car. It did not matter if the supporting parts could not keep up. When the source of spiritual power was operating, it just had to lower its energy level by one grade. For example, if it operated at 30% "power," it could work with a lower-grade Five Elements treasure to form the Five Elements Great Array.
This was even more convenient. In the future, when he wanted to upgrade the territory's protective array, he did not need to change the source of spiritual power. He could just switch to the Five Elements treasures.
After obtaining such a great benefit, Bai Xiaowen naturally did not want to reveal his identity in public, lest someone covet his wealth.
Bai Xiaowen had always maintained a reserved attitude towards the various righteous sects. Evil Path demons used living people as sacrificial offerings to refine demonic artifacts. Of course, they deserved to be hacked to pieces. However, not all righteous people were sincere and righteous.
At present, the only person who knew about Bai Xiaowen's plan was Chen Rong.
When Bai Xiaowen had originally formulated the plan, he did not expect it to go so smoothly. The part of the original plan that required Chen Rong's cooperation was not put to use.
If I had known this would happen, I would not have prepared Chen Rong as a backup plan. I would also have lost Chen Rong as an insider … However, it is not entirely a bad thing that Chen Rong knows. At least I have completed the mission of finding the real culprit. Moreover, the degree of completion is definitely not low.
