Even though the duel between Bai Xiaowen and Mengchuan had ended, the aftermath of the duel was still far from over.
Even though Mengchuan had lost, his reputation in the Starlink Alliance had risen instead of falling.
The lords were all discerning people. Naturally, they could tell that Mengchuan's loss to Bai Xiaowen wasn't due to his lack of combat skills. His ability to tame those wild, chaotic, and evil demon races had already greatly increased the strength of the Heavenly Province Territory.
Many people believed that Mengchuan could still be considered a third-tier territory. The demon army's destructive power was basically the strongest among all the races. Only the dragon race could rival them. However, it would be even more difficult to form a dragon army. It was completely unrealistic.
As for Bai Xiaowen, he had also refreshed everyone's understanding of him. He had summoned five lords (the Wrath Claw hadn't been revealed yet) at the same time. A commander-type lord like him was practically invincible in a one-on-one duel.
It was important to note that lords who had advanced to the summoner class could directly summon their subordinates to attack the opponent's projection during a duel and gain the upper hand. However, this was also a part of a summoner's strength, so it wasn't against the rules.
Under normal circumstances, the opposing Overlord could rely on its own strength to block the summoned creatures of the Summoning Overlord and protect its own military camp projection.
However, Bai Xiaowen had five Lord-tier summoned creatures. His strength was far greater than the average Summoning Lord's. This made his advantage of being the first to strike even more apparent.
Even if a top-level Evolver Lord could protect himself from the attacks of multiple Lords, it would still be difficult for him to protect the projection from being attacked.
After this duel, no one would dare to duel Bai Xiaowen again.
Bai Xiaowen still felt that it was quite a pity.
However, if his strength was exposed, then so be it. Making his enemies fear him would also reduce a lot of trouble. Bai Xiaowen didn't like to pretend to be weak.
… …
His friends were unusually excited as they crowded around Bai Xiaowen to celebrate their victory.
Bai Xiaowen had passed down the authority of the lord of Prime Elevation Territory to Qiao Rui.
It wasn't that Qiao Rui was the only one who could take charge. After all, Cecilia had experience in managing a territory.
However, most of the people in Jinyuan Territory were from ancient Hua Xia, and they had a cultural barrier with Cecilia. Furthermore, Jinyuan Territory was a vassal territory of Tianfu Territory, and Bai Xiaowen had just seized it. Who knew how many people were secretly rebelling? The situation was too complicated.
Overall, Qiao Rui was the most suitable candidate to be the Lord of Great Jin Yuan.
"It can't be called Jinyuan Territory anymore. It's time to change its name," Li Shuyi said with a smile.
Bai Xiaowen consciously did not participate in the naming process and gave the naming rights to Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's call it … Xueli Territory."
Li Shuyi laughed. "Xueli Territory? The dawn after the snow was a very good concept. Sister Qiao's naming skills are much better than someone's. "
However, Bai Xiaowen's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Qiao Rui. "Why is it called Xueli Territory?"
Bai Xiaowen was too serious, which made Qiao Rui a little puzzled.
"No … no reason. Isn't naming something that comes to mind on a whim?" Qiao Rui said.
"Let's change the name," Bai Xiaowen said slowly.
"Huh?"
His friends were a little surprised.
Bai Xiaowen looked around and his expression returned to normal. He smiled and said, "There used to be a Xueli Territory in Star Alliance, but it was destroyed … It's inauspicious, so it's better to change it."
"I see." His friends didn't know about the past of Xueli Territory and Melting Bone Territory, and they all suddenly understood.
"I can't think of any other good name." Qiao Rui shook his head.
Cecilia said, "Why don't we call it Whitestone Territory?"
This name was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. Thus, "Prime Elevation Territory" was officially renamed "Whitestone Territory" and became a vassal territory of White Phoenix Territory.
The naming storm came to an end.
After Qiao Rui obtained the territory's authority, he immediately made bold and decisive changes. First, he closed the territory's teleportation gate. All the mutual trust agreements signed by Prime Elevation Territory were nullified, and everyone's access to the territory was frozen.
As for whether there were any other posthumans from other territories, Qiao Rui would slowly screen them. After confirming their identities, they would be politely sent out of the territory.
Many lords came to greet Bai Xiaowen. Bai Xiaowen's strength had won their respect.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen was most grateful to Candice, the Queen Bee, and a few other lords who had supported him from the beginning. Everyone could see that Bai Xiaowen valued the two of them, so they all said their goodbyes after exchanging greetings.
"Why don't I see Lord Xia Feng?" Bai Xiaowen looked around.
Candice said, "Lord Xia Feng didn't come today."
"He didn't come to watch the battle …" Bai Xiaowen didn't know what to think.
The Queen Bee smiled and said, "Lord Xia Feng's personality is like this. You can say that he's arrogant or determined, but he rarely gets involved. If he's not cultivating, then he's on the path of cultivation."
Bai Xiaowen nodded silently.
The lords brought their followers to the plaza in front of the Epoch Bell.
Candice suddenly used spirit energy to send a voice transmission and said, "Lady Queen Bee, Lord Lu Wang, what do you think of Mengchuan's performance today?"
Candice only sent a voice transmission to Bai Xiaowen and the Queen Bee. Obviously, she didn't want her words to be heard by a fourth person.
The Queen Bee nodded slightly and sent a voice transmission as well, "He was very strong and unexpected."
Bai Xiaowen was slightly surprised. Then, he sent a voice transmission and said, "He was very strong. White Phoenix Territory has a very strong military. If this was a real war and not a duel, White Phoenix Territory would have a hard time resisting. "
Bai Xiaowen didn't think that Mengchuan had used all of his trump cards today.
Mengchuan might have even stronger demon soldiers other than the Dark Pharaoh army that he hadn't summoned yet. However, summoning the projection of a spirit medium took time. A strong territory's army needed a strong spirit medium, and the stronger the spirit medium, the longer the time needed to summon it. Mengchuan just couldn't use it in a duel.
A real war wouldn't have such restrictions. Mengchuan could lead his army and charge straight to White Phoenix Territory's protective barrier through the realm gate.
This duel definitely didn't mean that the conflict between White Phoenix Territory and Heavenly Mansion would end. On the contrary, it was just the beginning.
Mengchuan had a strong military, but he had lost the duel. How could he accept this? From now on, White Phoenix Territory and Heavenly Mansion Territory would be enemies for a long time. Although war wouldn't break out immediately due to various subtle factors, the dark clouds of war still existed.
Candice said, "Yes, Heavenly Mansion Territory has become stronger. I'm sure Lady Queen Bee can't sit still anymore, right? After all, Heavenly Mansion Territory and Wuzhou Territory are in the same star sector. "
The Queen Bee said indifferently, "So what if Mengchuan has a way to subdue the demon army? I'm not afraid of him. Wuzhou Territory isn't easy to bully either. "
Candice sighed. "However, Mengchuan's ability to do this is very worrying. Will his demon army continue to grow? "
