According to the attributes of their spiritual energy, the new division of the Five Element Banners had an equal number of people. Each banner had about a hundred people.
This was not to say that the five hundred martial artists were evenly distributed, but that many of them cultivated Stellar Qis with multiple attributes, giving Bai Xiaowen room to distribute them evenly.
The division was not difficult, but the coordination of spiritual energy was difficult. This was not something that Bai Xiaowen could do alone.
Martial artists with multiple attributes had to learn how to control their own Stellar Qis and embody the characteristics of their respective Five Element Banners. At the same time, they had to be able to simultaneously release the same number of crystals of spiritual energy. This was the foundation of coordination of spiritual energy.
Then, Bai Xiaowen would guide and control them to complete the coordination of spiritual energy, and they would be qualified to perform a joint attack.
After some simple drills, the Five Element Banners martial artists could only succeed once or twice out of ten attempts. For the time being, it could not be used as a regular method.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen still had nearly two hundred Giant Barbarian Soldiers. These Giant Barbarian Soldiers all cultivated earth-attribute Battle Qi, and their strength was basically balanced. They were a well-trained team.
With this foundation, Bai Xiaowen was able to control the Giant Barbarian Soldiers to unleash earth-attribute Battle Qi joint attacks after a few simple attempts. The joint attack of two hundred Giant Barbarian Soldiers was even stronger than the ultimate move of a Suzerain of the same level. The problem was that after each attack, there would be a ten-second window of time.
Using Li Chun's experience as a reference, Bai Xiaowen divided the Giant Barbarian Soldiers into a front and back team of a hundred people each. This way, the front and back teams could take turns to unleash the joint attack and avoid the window of time. Moreover, the joint attack's power did not decrease by much, and it could still compete with the ultimate move of a Suzerain of the same level.
From this, it can be seen that the increase in power of a joint attack is not proportional to the number of people attacking. After the number of people exceeds a hundred, I can clearly feel that it is somewhat difficult to guide, and the power is somewhat scattered.
Bai Xiaowen silently experienced this.
In other words, one hundred people was the limit of Bai Xiaowen's current ability to coordinate spiritual energy. After one hundred people, if more people were added, the power would increase, but the increase would be very small.
Bai Xiaowen's current ability to coordinate spiritual energy should be about the same as the dead Li Chun. Considering that Bai Xiaowen had just been exposed to this ability, there was definitely room for growth and improvement in the future.
Looking at the two hundred Giant Barbarian soldiers standing like iron towers, Bai Xiaowen felt a sense of reluctance.
An army that was naturally suited for the coordination of spiritual power and joint attacks did not belong to him.
Temporary authority was, after all, a temporary authority. If he were to encounter someone with a higher authority in Great Tang, he would definitely suffer a backlash from the Mammoth Barbarian soldiers...
Unfortunately, in the upcoming battle against the Black Sky Sect, they could only use the Giant Barbarian Soldiers as cannon fodder to reduce the losses of the Five Element Flags.
Even though Five Element Flags' cooperation was poor and they weren't considered his own troops, they could still be developed. Even if their cooperation was poor, they could still be trained.
As long as one's thinking did not decline, there would always be more solutions than difficulties!
"Alliance Master!" The new Deputy Banner Master of the Giant Wood Flag, Ma Donghai, and the new Deputy Banner Master of the Sharp Gold Flag, Wang Tieqiang, had come.
Bai Xiaowen tilted his head and glanced at Wang Tieqiang. "How is it?"
Wang Tieqiang's face was full of excitement. "That Li brat, after being tormented by our brothers, finally couldn't take it anymore!"
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "Bring him up."
In the battle of Tiele Mountain, Li Chun was killed by the Underworld Demon Army's self-explosion, and the Black Sky Sect's Holy Son, Li Yan, was captured alive by Bai Xiaowen.
Originally, he wanted Li Yan to relent and reveal some information about the Black Sky Sect. However, Li Yan, the Holy Son of the back door, was actually a little arrogant. Not only did he grit his teeth and not say anything, he even threatened Bai Xiaowen and the others, saying that if they offended the Holy Church, they would die sooner or later, and that Father Leader would take revenge for him...
Bai Xiaowen wanted to cultivate and did not have the time to waste with him, so he threw Li Yan to Wang Tieqiang and the other veterans.
If not for the fact that the Peaceful Talisman was still controlling Li Feng and indirectly controlling the Giant Barbarian Soldiers, Bai Xiaowen could have directly thrown a Bewitching Talisman and read Li Yan's memory fragments.
But now, the Giant Barbarian Soldiers were much more important than Li Yan. Moreover, the Bewitching Talisman reading memories was very random. It could only read part of the memory fragments, and might miss out on the information that Bai Xiaowen wanted to know.
Wang Tieqiang and the other veterans were indeed ordinary in terms of strength, but their methods of torturing people were very varied. Coupled with the medicine of "Sick Horse Chao" Ma Donghai, they were even more powerful.
They hated Li Yan deeply, and did not feel the slightest bit of guilt when torturing him — after all, at Iron Blood Cliff, Li Yan wanted to kill all of them and feed them all Corpse King Pills and the like to control them. Now, it was an eye for an eye.
Soon, Li Yan, who was covered in dust and blood, was carried over.
Without waiting for Bai Xiaowen to ask, Li Yan said, "Don't, don't torture me... I'll talk, I'll talk..." His voice was very weak.
Bai Xiaowen was speechless, and looked at Ma Donghai and Wang Tieqiang who were standing calmly at the side. Both of them had normal expressions.
"Okay, tell us about the information on Black Sky Peak, what secret passages and mechanisms are there..."
Bai Xiaowen's interrogation was very skillful. After asking a few questions, he would suddenly throw out another one of the previous questions, and order Li Yan not to hesitate and to answer quickly, so as to prevent Li Yan from speaking nonsense and giving them false information.
"I... I only know this, I beg you, give me a quick death..."
Li Yan was really a little pitiful at this time.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly asked, "Shangqing school's Great Elder Chen Zhihe is missing, where is he?"
Li Yan: "At that time... Father brought the Holy Church's experts to capture him alive... but they didn't succeed. I heard Father say... that Chen Zhihe jumped off Sea Gazing Cliff..."
"Sea Gazing Cliff?"
Ma Donghai and Wang Tieqiang's expressions changed.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the two. "What's so special about Sea Gazing Cliff?"
Ma Donghai said in surprise, "Leader, you haven't heard of it?"
Wang Tieqiang said, "Sea Gazing Cliff is a strange place. It is blocked by sea fog all year round, and it is one of the three most dangerous places in the martial arts world. It is said that there were martial arts masters who were not afraid of death who explored it before, but only one escaped in the end."
"One escaped?" Bai Xiaowen repeated.
Wang Tieqiang shrugged and said, "The one who escaped is also crazy."
Ma Donghai sighed. "Great Elder Chen Zhihe jumped off Sea Gazing Cliff, I'm afraid it bodes ill rather than well."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and asked Li Yan again, "Do you know the whereabouts of the original headmaster of Shangqing school?"
Li Yan shook his head in confusion.
Bai Xiaowen judged from Li Yan's expression, breathing changes, and other details that he was likely to be telling the truth. Li Yan had already revealed so much information, so there was no need to lie in the last few sentences. Moreover, the headmaster of Shangqing school was already crazy, so he was not a key figure to turn the situation around. He was only important to the reputation of Shangqing school, so it was not worth Li Yan lying.
