Bai Xiaowen's judgment that there was something wrong with Tang Ren wasn't due to personal grudges. He had proof.
Firstly, to a certain extent, Tang Ren was responsible for the inspection of the guests entering the Shangqing ceremony. In the end, the Black Sky Cult sent thirteen experts to infiltrate the Shangqing ceremony, which was simply astounding.
Secondly, Tang Ren had always harbored enmity towards Bai Xiaowen. This was very hard to explain. After all, Bai Xiaowen had saved the Shangqing school — — If not for Bai Xiaowen, even if the Shangqing school wasn't exterminated, it would at least be greatly damaged. Moreover, there was a risk that the sect's most important scriptures would be leaked.
Of course, there was also a final reason, which was that Tang Ren was ugly.
Bai Xiaowen didn't have time to care about Tang Ren's problem.
He was only rejoicing that he had let Cecilia return in advance.
In the Shangqing school, Cecilia didn't participate in Bai Xiaowen's investigation mission. Instead, during the Shangqing ceremony, she went to clean out one of the Black Sky Cult's strongholds outside the Shangqing school. After plundering some resources, she quickly returned to the spatial node that Cecilia had cut into, returning in advance.
The spatial nodes that the two of them had cut into weren't in the same place, so there was no possibility of meeting up again. In addition, Bai Xiaowen also had a premonition that he was about to stir up a huge commotion, so he let Cecilia leave in advance.
Now, Bai Xiaowen only had to think about how to escape.
After confirming that the Black Sky Cult's spies were always watching him, Bai Xiaowen gave up the disguise of a travelling scholar. Summoning the Wrath Claw, he ran wildly. Along the way, he passed by inns and towns, but didn't enter them.
However, after running wildly for a thousand miles in the day, not only did the spies behind him not disappear, there were even more.
When night fell again, Bai Xiaowen still didn't stop to rest, and continued on his way.
This kind of reckless haste made the Black Sky Cult disciples behind him cry out in their hearts, but they could only give up on resting and grit their teeth to follow.
Bai Xiaowen couldn't do anything about these sticky candy from the Black Sky Cult. He definitely couldn't stop and face them head on. After all, the Black Sky Cult's strength was not something a level 11 Evolver like him could shake.
Furthermore, it was unknown what tracking method the Blacksky Cult had, to actually be able to keep up with him. No matter how Bai Xiaowen tried to shake them off, it was to no avail. After shaking them off for a short period of time, they would be closely watched again.
The next morning, Bai Xiaowen had just arrived in Cang Province when the Black Sky Cult finally revealed their true intentions, intercepting Bai Xiaowen's return path.
"Black Sky Cult South Pass City Branch, Branch Master Hu Dahai!"
"Black Sky Cult Overturned Zhoushan Branch, Branch Master Yan Bingjun!"
"Black Sky Cult's Red Hillock Mountain Branch, Branch Master Ge Zhangming!"
"Black Sky Sect …"
There were a total of six groups of people, and the six people at the front were all branch leaders of the Black Sky Sect. They clasped their hands together and said: "We have been waiting here for Mister Lu for a long time!"
While they seemed polite, killing intent was concealed within.
Bai Xiaowen jumped down from the back of the Wrath Claw, looking at the six branch leaders as well as the hundred or so elite disciples behind them, he narrowed his eyes and said: "You have got the wrong person."
The South Pass City Branch Master Hu Dahai laughed: "No need for Mister Lu to disguise himself. Since we have intercepted you here, we definitely have our methods to confirm your identity. During the Prime Clear ceremony, it was you who spoiled the plans of the Sacred Church! "
[Mmp!]
Bai Xiaowen cursed in his heart, his resentment towards Elder Tang Ren growing even deeper.
Originally, using Keats to take the lead, destroying the Myriad Soul Banner and seizing the Epic-tier treasure, the Thousand Soul Jade, had been a brilliant move. The bad thing was that damned eunuch Tang Ren. If not for him leaking the news to the Black Sky Cult, how could these people possibly have come looking for him?
Seeing Bai Xiaowen remain silent, Branch Master Yan Bingjun opened his mouth: "We have two objectives in intercepting Mister Lu here. Firstly, to request Mister Lu to hand over the Thousand Soul Jade. Secondly, we invite Mister Lu to make a trip with us to meet the upper echelons of the Sacred Church, so that our brothers can report back. "
Bai Xiaowen sighed, saying: "And if I don't agree?"
Another Branch Master, Ge Changming, said coldly: "We have already given you a lot of face. Don't fail to appreciate our kindness, Mister Lu."
[These people are wary of me!]
Bai Xiaowen quickly deduced this point. He could only think of one reason, and that was his accomplishments in the Sword Testing Valley. Controlling a puppet (Keats in the eyes of the people of the spirit world) to easily pass through the Soul Refining Formation and destroy the Myriad Soul Banner, this move was so shocking that these people couldn't see through Bai Xiaowen's actual situation.
Bai Xiaowen didn't guess that another important reason why the Black Sky Cult was so courteous to him was because of his trumped-up identity as an 'elite disciple of a hidden sect'.
Since the other party was afraid, then he would continue to bluff.
Bai Xiaowen jumped down from the Wrath Claw and lightly patted the Wrath Claw's stiff fur, using one second to summon it back to the Wolf Valley.
The people of the Black Sky Cult didn't understand, thinking that Bai Xiaowen had given up on resisting. Hu Dahai said: "Does Mister Lu agree?"
"Hahahahaha!"
Bai Xiaowen looked up to the sky and laughed: "You trash dare to say that I don't know how to appreciate kindness? Even if Qiu Zhenli personally came, I wouldn't give him face! "
True Inner Force – Deterrence!
Right now, there was not even a single ally on the battlefield. Bai Xiaowen did not need to consider the negative effects on his allies at all, so he directly used it.
With Bai Xiaowen's base 8 priority, even the leader of the spirit world would be affected by Deterrence's subsequent spiritual force field! However, to maintain the effects of the spiritual force field, he had to continuously output True Inner Force.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand again, and an army of summoned creatures appeared.
This was another tactic that Bai Xiaowen had thought of, able to fully utilize True Inner Force – Deterrence.
The negative effects of Deterrence on allies … … could be avoided by summoning them later. Although a certain amount of damage would be lost, combined with an airdrop, it could still be effective immediately.
Swish, swish, swish. The two branch leaders blocking in front of Bai Xiaowen, Yan Bingjun and Ge Zhangming, were each surrounded by a group of summoned creatures.
The summoned creatures raised their blades together, and then chopped down!
Yan Bingjun and Ge Zhangming seemed to be in a nightmare, their bodies not listening to their commands.
Seeing the blade light fall, Yan Bingjun gritted his teeth, and the spirit energy in his body slammed into the meridians in his chest, and then he spat out a large mouthful of blood. Although he was in a difficult situation, he finally regained control of his body. His body suddenly twisted, and he knocked away a summoned creature, escaping from the encirclement!
On the other side, Ge Zhangming, who didn't have such decisiveness, could only channel his spirit energy and forcibly resist the enemy's attack.
The Mother of Blood Thorns screamed, and a ring-shaped spirit energy sound wave condensed into a beam and hit Ge Zhangming's crotch.
Under the active observation of Bai Xiaowen's Eye of Evolution, Ge Zhangming's crotch was the place where his spirit energy was the most concentrated. It could be considered Ge Zhangming's vital point.
Ge Zhangming screamed, and his spirit energy protection was instantly broken. He covered his crotch and knelt on the ground. This Spiritual Energy Sound Wave had caused him quite a bit of injury. He was shocked and angry. He really couldn't figure out how the opponent could hit his weak point in one hit!
