The Death God's Hand Bone in the Tang territory was hidden very well. Bai Yuantang only knew that the first lord of the Tang territory had obtained it, but he didn't know where it was kept. He couldn't make any predictions with his thoughts, so he could only rely on Bai Xiaowen to find it himself.
Bai Xiaowen asked about the forbidden areas in the Tang territory. Soon, he got some clues from the eunuchs in the Tang territory's palace.
According to the eunuchs, there was a mysterious "underground palace" under Chang 'an City.
This underground palace was very secretive and didn't allow anyone to enter. Li Weichen also gave strict orders to keep it a secret.
The corpses of the criminals executed in the Tang territory would be secretly transported to the underground palace. No one knew what they were used for.
If not for the fact that the Tang territory was corrupt and didn't keep secrets, even the eunuchs in the palace wouldn't know about the existence of the underground palace.
Now that Bai Xiaowen had become the new lord, the eunuchs naturally took the initiative to inform him in order to gain merit.
However, they only knew about the existence of the underground palace. As for where the entrance was, they couldn't say for sure. They only knew some possible locations.
Bai Xiaowen mobilized the martial artists of the Five Elements Flags to search according to the clues provided by the eunuchs.
During this time, Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui had already rushed over from White Phoenix City through the teleportation gate. The original teleportation gate in the Tang territory had lost its ability to teleport to the outside world. It could only be used as an ordinary teleportation point within the White Phoenix territory. Currently, it was only connected to White Phoenix City.
Bai Xiaowen simply reorganized the original administration of the territory in Chang 'an City. He replaced a group of people who were related to Li Weichen and got in through the back door. At the same time, he promoted some capable officials who didn't have any background.
The territory itself didn't need too many administrators because there were only 8,000 people in total. 5,000 of them were slaves, so it was basically like a village. From this, it was even more ridiculous that Li Weichen wanted to be an emperor behind closed doors.
In fact, the evolved people who left were not obsessed with mental cleanliness and couldn't tolerate their leader's dream of being an emperor. If the territory was really powerful and prosperous and was the only one in the Star Alliance, it wouldn't be a big deal to be an emperor.
However, Li Weichen's forceful proclamation and the weak status of the territory made the evolved heroes feel that there was no future for them, so they left.
Bai Xiaowen was like a new batch of village cadres, so of course, it wouldn't cause much of a stir.
At the same time, the slaves in the mines of the Tang Empire were also brought to Chang 'an. The new department would issue citizenship certificates and distribute the land.
Bai Xiaowen had promised that he would not touch the properties of the residents of Chang 'an, including the fields.
Therefore, the land that could be allocated to these former slaves was wasteland that had not yet been cultivated. The territory did not have anything else, but it was vast and sparsely populated.
Since these slaves were relatively numb and did not have the ability to survive independently for the time being, Bai Xiaowen ordered the officials of Chang 'an City to set up 12 field camps. The former slaves were turned into field soldiers for management. They could learn a skill while farming.
Once the conditions were met, the field soldiers could apply to leave the army and become free citizens.
After two days, the martial artists of the Five Element Banners finally found the entrance to the "underground palace" in the inner court of the imperial palace.
Bai Xiaowen and his friends entered the underground palace.
"Wow, there is such a big hole under Chang 'an! If it was dug by hand, how much manpower would it take? "Li Shuyi exclaimed.
"This can't be called a hole. It's an underground palace." Bai Xiaowen felt that Li Shuyi's choice of words was too low. "It should be a natural karst cave that was built after being modified and expanded."
The group stepped into the underground palace along the tunnel. The deeper they went, the colder the temperature became.
"It feels like a mausoleum," Li Shuyi said.
Qiao Rui nodded slightly. "It seems that the Bone of Death's Hand is stored in the underground palace."
When they reached the end of the tunnel, the front suddenly opened up.
"Wow —"
Bai Xiaowen and his friends were stunned.
In front of them was the main hall of the underground palace. The four walls were carved with bronze horn lamps that emitted a cold light.
With the help of the lamps, they could see that there was a white bone hill inside the main hall.
The four corners of the bone hill had magic light flowing along the complicated and strange lines. There was an altar on top of the bone hill.
All the magic lines converged on the altar.
In the middle of the altar, there was a hand bone floating.
"Do you feel that the Spirit Qi here is very dense?" Qiao Rui asked.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "According to the memory fragments of Li Feng and the others, the Tang Dynasty set up a Spirit Qi Gathering Array in Chang 'an City. It seems that the magic array in this underground palace is it. However, it doesn't just gather Spirit Qi. Look over there. "
Everyone looked in the direction Bai Xiaowen was pointing. Around the bone hill, there were three black figures surrounded by black gas.
Obviously, these were three spirit-type Soul creatures. From their Spirit Qi waves, they had the strength of Level-11 to Level-13 Elite Evolvers.
"The Underworld Demon Army!" Li Shuyi shouted.
The three soldiers of the Underworld Demon Army did not react.
The magic light of the bone hill array flowed slowly. At the end of the lines, there was a ball of black fog rolling. Spirit Qi was slowly gathering toward the black fog.
"This bone hill array should be the place where the Tang Dynasty produces the Underworld Demon Army."
Bai Xiaowen said, "As for the Spirit Qi Gathering effect, it should be a side effect."
Cecilia suddenly said, "No wonder there are so many Underworld Demon Army soldiers in the Tang Dynasty."
Previously, Bai Xiaowen had annihilated two hundred Underworld Demons in Shao Ling Territory. Later on, when the Great Tang Territory attacked the White Phoenix Territory, they sent out another three hundred. This made a total of five hundred Underworld Demons, which far exceeded the number of the other regular soldiers of the Great Tang Territory.
So the Tang Dynasty could produce Underworld Demon Army soldiers.
The group waited for a long time, but the ball of black fog did not take another step and produce new Underworld Demon Army soldiers. It was as if it had stopped.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly said, "There's no need to wait. It shouldn't be able to produce them. "
The four of them looked at him.
Bai Xiaowen explained, "The conservation of energy and equivalent exchange are irrefutable truths. From what I see, this bone hill array is like a processing line. You need to put in the raw materials to produce the finished product. Without an energy source, you can't produce new Underworld Demon Army soldiers. "
"Energy source? Doesn't this magic array extract the energy from the Death God's Hand Bone? "Li Shuyi was Xiao Bai of the array.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "The Death God's Hand Bone is only the most important core machine in the assembly line. It's not an energy source. If the Death God's Hand Bone was an energy source, it would have been sucked dry. According to my speculation, the raw material should be some kind of special energy, such as spirits or resentment. Let me give it a try. "
Bai Xiaowen put on the Death God's Face and waved his hand to release a ball of Spirit Essence. It was a ball of pure grey fog. It was about 100 points.
Unexpectedly, the bone hill array did not intend to absorb this ball of Spirit Essence. It was obvious that this was not a suitable raw material.
