"F * ck you!"
Seeing that the Mountain Protecting Great Formation was activated and the entire Shangqing Sect's inner sect was enveloped in it, Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but complain.
Was there a need to mobilize so many people?
However, this also proved the rarity of Bai Xiaowen's "Thousand Soul Jade". Even the Shangqing school was willing to disregard their previous kindness and openly snatch it.
As expected, an Epic item was not so easy to obtain. Under the true rules of the Evolutionary Plane, Bai Xiaowen could take the Thousand Soul Jade directly without having to go through the loot process. However, this also meant that he would be coveted by powerful Spiritual Realm factions.
When Elder Tang Ren mentioned the Thousand Soul Jade, Bai Xiaowen had already sensed that something was wrong.
At that time, Bai Xiaowen had another choice, which was to flatly deny that the Thousand Soul Jade was in his hands.
This was not a smart move because the other party already knew that Kitts, who had destroyed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, was a puppet controlled by Bai Xiaowen.
Moreover, when the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was destroyed, Kitts had scooped up the Thousand Soul Jade. Many people of the Righteous Path had clearly seen this.
In other words, flatly denying it would not convince Tang Ren and the other Shangqing school elders. In that case, Tang Ren would probably fall out with them in order to obtain the Thousand Soul Jade.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen chose to readily admit it and follow Tang Ren's words. He expressed that he was willing to hand over the Thousand Soul Jade and even expressed that he wanted to use it to exchange for some benefits.
This was all to numb Tang Ren and make him let down his guard.
As expected, Tang Ren did not immediately take any forceful measures against Bai Xiaowen. He even walked out of the quiet room ahead of time.
When Chen Rong turned to open the door of the quiet room, Bai Xiaowen took the opportunity to do two things.
First, he used the Illusion Puppet Technique and used his True Inner Force to create a straw clone of Bai Xiaowen.
Second, he put on a fish-patterned robe and hid his true body.
At that time, the one who had followed Chen Rong out was Bai Xiaowen's puppet illusion.
Of course, there was a certain risk in doing this. If Tang Ren checked Bai Xiaowen strictly, it was very likely that he would be exposed.
However, Tang Ren did not do so — Bai Xiaowen's previous cooperation had made him let down his guard.
After Tang Ren and Chen Rong left, Bai Xiaowen immediately ran out of the quiet room and ran toward the outer gate of Shangqing school.
However, Tang Ren was very suspicious. Although he didn't find the problem at first, it didn't take long for him to see that something was wrong. His reaction was also very decisive. After confirming that Bai Xiaowen was trying to escape, he immediately activated the Mountain-guarding Formation and trapped Bai Xiaowen in the Inner Sect.
The Illusion Doppelganger Dao Technique that Bai Xiaowen had learned was a Tier 2 Dao Technique. It was not that difficult.
However, Bai Xiaowen had learned the Wood Incarnation Demonic Technique from the Tree Demon. He combined it with the Illusion Doppelganger Dao Technique to create a Wood Incarnation (Straw Doppelganger), which was much more realistic — when he first encountered the Tree Demon's "Wood Incarnation", even the passive scanning of the Eye of Evolution could not see through its authenticity.
Coupled with Bai Xiaowen's True Inner Force, it was even more powerful. This was the main reason why Bai Xiaowen could deceive the Lord-level Master Tang Ren — the suppression of priority.
Another important reason was that Bai Xiaowen's ability as a Spiritual Teacher allowed him to precisely control summoned creatures.
The Straw Doppelganger could also be considered as Bai Xiaowen's "summoned creatures". However, Bai Xiaowen was only at the beginning stage of learning the "Wood Incarnation Demonic Technique" and did not have any offensive abilities for the time being.
Bai Xiaowen controlled the Straw Doppelganger to follow Chen Rong's every step. At the same time, he also talked to Chen Rong and Tang Ren, and his demeanor was just like a real person. This made Tang Ren unable to detect the problem.
Later, Bai Xiaowen was too far away from the Straw Doppelganger and could not control the Straw Doppelganger's walking posture and the distance of each step. Only then did Tang Ren see through the trick.
[Chen Rong, oh Chen Rong, I originally wanted to leave quietly and not take a single cloud with me … your Shangqing school is forcing me, so don't blame me.]
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself. The Shangqing school activated the mountain-protecting formation. It seemed like they were locking him in the inner sect, but wasn't this the same as locking a mouse in a rice jar?
Especially since Chen Rong had given him the fish-patterned clothes and the map of the inner sect.
Bai Xiaowen could completely avoid the search of the elders of the Shangqing school and ransack the important places of the inner sect.
For example … the treasury of the Shangqing school!
Generally speaking, the location of the treasury was very secretive, but Bai Xiaowen had the map. These two days, he had secretly observed the layout of various buildings in the inner sect of the Shangqing school. He already knew the location of the treasury like the back of his hand.
Another key point was that the mountain-protecting formation of the Shangqing school was mainly used to defend against external enemies.
The few formation towers that maintained the mountain-protecting formation were all in the inner sect.
To break the mountain-protecting formation from the outer sect, unless a genuine king-level master made a move, no one would be able to do it.
However, in the inner sect, as long as the formation towers were destroyed, the formation would naturally be broken.
Bai Xiaowen already had a plan in mind. He only needed to wait until nightfall to take action.
…
Two blooming flowers, one water chapter (crossed out); one branch on the surface!
Thirty miles away from the mountain gate of the Shangqing school, there was a secret underground cave. It was the secret lair of the Black Sky Cult and also a base for attacking the Shangqing school.
With the sound of the wind, two figures, one in front and one behind, fled into the cave. They were the two Guardians of the Black Sky Cult, the Left Guardian Qiu Zhenli and the Right Guardian Sheji.
"Where are the cult members left behind? Why didn't they come out to greet me? "Qiu Zhenli's temper was very bad as he shouted angrily.
Sheji was careful and advised, "Keep your movements quiet. This place is very close to the Shangqing school! The Shangqing school will definitely send out elites to search. Don't attract pursuers. "
Qiu Zhenli snorted and landed at the entrance of the cave.
Suddenly, Qiu Zhenli's expression changed slightly. "No, there's the smell of blood." He quickly rushed into the cave.
In the cave, the dozen or so Black Sky Cult elite disciples left behind to guard the cave were all dead.
The spirit crystals, spirit materials, and other resources that were piled up in the cave were all looted!
"Who did it?" Qiu Zhenli was furious, but he suppressed it and asked coldly.
"You're asking me, but who should I ask?" Sheji curled her lips. "Anyway, it can't be the Shangqing school. If they knew about this hiding place, they would have ambushed us long ago. "
Qiu Zhenli cracked his knuckles. "I suspect that the person who looted this cave and the person who ruined our plan are from the same faction. The traitor Lu Buchen should have sided with this faction and not the Shangqing school. "
"How do you know?" Sheji asked.
Qiu Zhenli analyzed, "If the Shang Qing Sect knows about our overall plan, then just as you said, they will prepare a killing move in advance at this hiding place. Moreover, they will also make sufficient preparations for the battle in the Sword-testing Valley. But from what I saw today, almost all of the Shangqing school's Elder-level powerhouses were wiped out by the Sword-testing Valley battle in one fell swoop. Their reaction was also very panicked! "
Sheji nodded. "That's right, this is also what I'm confused about … But if Lu Buchen wanted to side with the enemy, why didn't he side with the Shangqing school? Is there any faction more powerful than the Shangqing school? "
Qiu Zhenli said, "Of course there is! It's just that you don't have the right to know. "
Sheji retorted, "You think you have the right to know? Isn't it just a hidden sect? I've heard a thing or two about it. Do you mean that there are masters from the hidden sects who did this? "
Qiu Zhenli frowned and said, "If it's a hidden sect, why would they loot this cave? It's also very puzzling. To the masters from the hidden sects, would the spirit crystals and spirit materials hidden in this cave be worth their attention? "
Sheji shook her head and said, "God knows. Maybe the masters from the hidden sects have some weird fetishes and insist on experiencing the feeling of killing and robbing."
Qiu Zhenli snorted. "Since people know about this place, it's no longer safe. You and I will return to the headquarters to treat our injuries immediately and make further plans."
