The dissipation of the Evil Energy quickly attracted the attention of the independent players outside of Stone Forest Town.
"What? Didn't they say that Evil Energy couldn't be dispelled?"
"I've looked into it as well. If you want to dispel Evil Energy, you need to cut off the source of the Evil Energy. Did the Ling YI Society secretly cut off the source?"
"That can't be right. The source of the Evil Energy this time should be Black Ridge Town. Black Ridge Town is completely fine right now."
"Then, how did Ling Yi do it?"
Everyone discussed the matter in disbelief. Meanwhile, news of this matter quickly spread throughout the Starmoon Kingdom. …
Star-Moon City, Blackwater's Residence:
"Impossible! How could the Evil Energy be dispelled?! " Abandoned Wave, who had just revived, nearly lost his mind as he read the report he had just received. "This must be fake news Ling Yi released! I'm certain that it's impossible to dispel the Evil Energy! "
Unlike curses, which could be purified, Evil Energy was a type of chaotic energy. It could transform other types of energy into Evil Energy. Like a contagious virus, it was impossible to dispel. The only way to do so was to eliminate the source. However, eliminating the source was easier said than done. Even Abandoned Wave did not know where the source of the Evil Energy was. Just based on what he knew, Black Ridge Town was not a place players could approach.
Moreover, Evil Energy was extremely harmful to players. If players lived in an Evil Energy environment for a long time, they would be infected by the Evil Energy. Not only would they fall into a Weakened state, but they would also turn into monsters if they stayed in an Evil Energy environment for too long. At that time, players would not be able to log into God's Domain.
Hence, Abandoned Wave firmly believed that Ling Yi had no way of dispelling the Evil Energy.
The only possibility was that Ling Yi had released fake news.
After all, Ling Yi had recruited many members for the Battle Arena and collected a lot of membership fees. If the Battle Arena was gone, these members would have to be compensated. Ling Yi's goal in releasing fake news was definitely to appease these members.
"Guild Leader, it's true. Our spies in Ling Yi have already examined the town's Evil Energy. The town's Evil Energy is indeed weakening. Most likely, it will dissipate in less than five days. At that time, Stone Forest Town will be able to continue operating," Qin Muyun said, an ugly expression on her face as she took out another set of documents.
Not only had Blackwater lost nearly all of its elite members in this war, but the Guild's prestige in the Starmoon Kingdom had also plummeted to a freezing point. Players were withdrawing from the Guild at every moment.
If he wanted to recover his vitality, he would need a long time to recuperate.
Fortunately, Ling Yi's Stone Forest Town was no more. As long as Blackwater recuperated for some time, with its abundant funds and background, its development speed would definitely surpass that of the Ling YI Society. The Ling YI Society's position as the number one Guild in the God's Domain would not last for long. However, now that Stone Forest Town was safe and sound, whether Blackwater's development speed could surpass the Ling YI Society's was a question mark.
This was definitely an outcome that the higher-ups of the Blackwater Consortium didn't want to see.
"This won't do! I definitely can't let Stone Forest Town exist in this world!" Although Abandoned Wave was unwilling to accept this outcome, the facts were already before his eyes. He had to take action. "Contact him immediately! I'll provide him with as many players as I can! However, I want him to have his monster army annihilate Stone Forest Town within five days!"
Qin Muyun could not help but frown at Shi Feng's words.
She had never thought that Abandoned Wave would be so crazy.
Nurturing those monsters was not as easy as she had imagined. The players that were sacrificed would not be able to log into God's Domain for many days. The war had already caused Blackwater's experts and elite players to lose a significant amount of levels.
"Why aren't you going?" Abandoned Wave glared at Qin Muyun. "Don't forget that I'm still the Guild Leader!"
Qin Muyun had no choice but to contact the bandaged man.
"Hei Yan! Just you wait! This time, I'll make you pay a heavy price! "Abandoned Wave sneered as he looked out the window in Stone Forest Town's direction.
…
Inside Stone Forest Town, the Ling YI Society began to clean up the battlefield.
The war had been considerably intense. Over half of Stone Forest Town's buildings had been destroyed, and the Residence was barren. Even the Battle Arena had suffered significant damage, requiring a large sum of Coins to repair.
However, compared to the losses, the Guild had reaped a bountiful harvest.
Although the monster army had not dropped any weapons or equipment, they had dropped plenty of monster materials. This was especially true for the materials dropped by Lord ranked monsters. These were all rare materials that could be used to produce weapons and equipment. In addition, after the Evil Beasts reached the Chieftain rank or above, they had a chance to drop a type of silver-gray crystal called Evil Energy Crystal.
Ordinary players might not even know what Evil Energy Crystals were used for. They might as well sell them to NPC merchants as trash. However, Shifeng knew the true purpose of Evil Energy Crystals.
A Master Forger had discovered this use in the past.
If one used Evil Energy Crystals and Magic Crystals when forging weapons or equipment, there was a chance that the forged weapon or equipment would form magic patterns, which would strengthen the weapon or equipment to a certain extent. However, the strengthening effect was random. It could strengthen the weapon or equipment's Basic Attributes, Attack, Defense, Hidden Attributes, or the weapon's Skill effects. Evil Energy Crystals were one of the most sought after materials by forgers.
In the past, the most powerful weapon or equipment forged with Evil Energy Crystals had been a Dark-Gold Weapon that was nearly as powerful as an Epic Weapon.
While Epic Weapons and Equipment were extremely difficult to produce, Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment were much easier.
Hence, Evil Energy Crystals had been considerably expensive in the past. One Evil Energy Crystal could sell for as much as 10 Gold. Even so, one could not purchase Evil Energy Crystals. This was because, in the later stages of the game, many players no longer obtained their weapons or equipment through loot. Instead, they had their forgers forge weapons and equipment that were suitable for them. Naturally, players hoped that their weapons and equipment would be as strong as possible. This was also why, whenever an Evil God's Temple appeared in a kingdom, a large number of players would rush over.
This time, the army of 200,000 monsters had attacked the town. Many of them were Chieftain ranked monsters or above. Ling Yi had made a fortune. She had obtained a total of 2,428 Evil Energy Crystals, which was equivalent to 24280 Gold. Including the materials the monsters had dropped, she had more than enough to cover the town's repair costs.
There was also the weapons and equipment she had obtained from killing the members of Blackwater, Heaven's Burial, and Pantheon. After deducting the weapons and equipment she had lost, she had obtained a total of 114,633 weapons and equipment. The weakest among them was Level 35 Bronze Equipment, while the better ones were Level 40 Dark-Gold Equipment.
After deducting the compensation and rewards she had given to her Guild members, the net income was simply amazing.
When Shifeng saw the list of weapons and equipment Shiuse Qiangwei and Gentle Snow had compiled, he was stunned.
Although he had participated in many major battles in the past, he had never earned as much as this one.
