My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 90 Shepherd of Souls

There was no answer, the man in white was already dead.

After a long silence, Han Tianxiao swallowed his saliva and explained slowly, "In the Pingtian Sect, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not born with power, but is nurtured step by step. They are called Banner Raisers."

"The most basic one is the white flag. When it collects more than a thousand souls, it will turn red, which is the most common blood flag. The more souls collected, the deeper the red. I heard there is a higher level one called the black flag."

As an old student, he had a lot of dealings with the Pingtian Sect and knew a lot of inside information.

"That's it."

Chen Lang nodded. The reason he was interested in this was because the system showed identification information.

[Diablo Ten Thousand Souls Banner]

White font.

He had snatched a blood banner from the hands of Pingtian Sect Leader before, but unfortunately he was not destined to have it, which made him very regretful, and the system did not show any similar identification.

He extinguished the flame on the white flag, then sat cross-legged on the ground, injected his true essence, and tried to refine it.

Then, he took out a bag of spirit stones and simply constructed a spirit gathering array to warm the white banner for protection, because he found that the thing still had a slight fluctuation and was not completely damaged.

If it can be tamed, I can't expect its power for now, but at least it's a good weapon to show off.

Senior Brother Meng was surprised when he saw it. This was an evil creature from the Pingtian Sect. What did he want to do?
But he didn't dare to ask. The fighting power displayed by Chen Lang was too terrifying. No matter what he did, there must be a reason for it.

After a moment, ripples appeared on the surface of the white flag, soul-like white smoke emerged, the spirit gathering formation trembled slightly, and then disappeared.

Chen Lang successfully erased the soul imprint above and branded his own.

Then, the system authentication is updated:
[Damaged Ten Thousand Souls Banner]

Hold.

Chen Lang was speechless. He had been cautious enough, but what went wrong?

This made him ponder, could it be that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner has natural protection and cannot fall into the hands of outsiders?
That would be boring.

"So that's how it is." Brother Meng saw the white smoke coming out and suddenly understood. He stood straight, clasped his hands together, and prayed for the dead souls.

It turns out that Senior Brother Chen Lang was trying to help the dead souls to be reborn. How disrespectful!

"Let's go and keep looking."

Chen Lang stood up and looked across the field. According to Fang Shao, the encirclement was very large and it would be a bit troublesome to find someone.

"With your strength, you don't need us to follow you, right?"

Han Tianxiao spoke up. He felt that he, as the captain, was redundant. Chen Lang's fighting ability was too strong. How could he catch up with him if he followed him around picking up trash?
He wanted to find Fang Shao's group. At least he would be freer, and he would have no problem protecting himself with his own cultivation.

"Okay, you don't have to follow me." Chen Lang said. After all, the lightning in his hand did not recognize people. If he killed them, he didn't know whether he would lose points in the evaluation.

"No, Brother Chen Lang, I'll follow you." Junior Sister Xiaoman spoke quickly.

This senior brother really doesn't show any mercy to anyone. He abandons them right away.

She didn't care about that. Chen Lang was obviously stronger than Boss Han and he didn't put on airs. She was determined to follow him anyway.

Senior Brother Meng had the same idea. They were surrounded and in a dangerous situation, so it would be more reliable to follow Chen Lang.

In the end, Han Tianxiao was out of options. He couldn't leave alone, so he had to give up his plan to act alone and follow Chen Lang.

"It's up to you guys." Chen Lang said.

Then, a rope tied them all up, and the four of them disappeared in lightning again.

……

Ten minutes later, red lightning appeared again in a field somewhere.

The surrounding woods were burning, and the gray-green tree trunks were covered with web-like charred marks, all of which had become lightning-struck wood.

This time Chen Lang left a person alive. Of course, it was not intentional, but a bolt of lightning did not kill him. It was obvious that his cultivation level was at the foundation-building level.

Chen Lang casually injected a stream of evil energy into his body, completely suppressing the white-clothed man's cultivation, and then searched his body for a while. "Where is my banner? You didn't bring the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

The man in white was shocked and angry, "Who are you? How dare you sneak attack me?"

But then, he saw several people behind Chen Lang untying the ropes on their bodies, and recognized that they were from the Tianjian Sect.

Why did the Heavenly Sword Sect send someone of this level of skill? Was it going to violate the agreement?
"Why don't you have the white banner?" Chen Lang asked. He wanted to study it further.

"I'm a liaison officer, not a flag bearer." The man in white explained, holding back his temper, "I have a special token on me. If anything happens to me, the other teams will lock onto your location and hunt you down together.

If you let me go now, we can go our separate ways and pretend we never met."

Is there such a good thing?

Chen Lang was worried that he couldn't find the enemy, so he used a palm strike of five thunders to kill the man in white.

In an instant, a stream of light burst out from the white-clothed man's eyebrows and sank into Chen Lang's body.

"Is this the thing?" Chen Lang checked himself and found no trace.

He continued searching and finally found a bracelet on the man in white. It had a faint vibration and turned out to be a space magic weapon.

There were a few books, some spirit stones, low-level elixirs, and some miscellaneous items inside.

[Soul Control Technique (Level 2)]

[Advanced magical power requires the cultivation of Yin Sha Qi, and the symbiosis with the soul. Once the minds are connected, you can control the soul, fight for yourself, become a soul shepherd, and control the Ten Thousand Souls Banner]

Good boy, a skill book exploded!
Chen Lang found the book "The Art of Controlling Souls", opened it and read the table of contents, but was a little disappointed. The opening chapter talked about the background of soul research, various schools of thought, current development status and future prospects, etc.

Then some basic knowledge is introduced, such as what is Yin Sha Qi and how to obtain it.

At the end are some training exercises, requiring them to perform certain tasks to temper their character and test the strength of their spirits. If they succeed, it means they are qualified to become soul shepherds.

After quickly flipping through it, the skills were successfully included. Chen Lang opened it again, but was disappointed.

[The content is incomplete, and skill books cannot be used to increase points. ]

He still had a skill book that he hadn't used, which happened to be a second-level skill. However, the incomplete skills obviously couldn't bring his proficiency to the maximum.

Is it still necessary to collect fragments of a broken skill?

After putting away the book and the bracelet, Chen Lang turned over another bead, which was round and looked like stone or jade.

After injecting his true energy, he instantly heard some noisy sounds, like someone was fighting, roaring, and swords clashing.

"This is."

Han Tianxiao recognized it instantly, his expression changed slightly, "This should be their contact token."

He had participated in similar operations. Those Pingtian Jiao Bannermen teams were very organized and disciplined, and good at cooperation. They knew that a single move could have a ripple effect on the entire body. They had always suspected that someone was directing them from behind, but they had not found out how they did it.

"I said the voice just now seemed familiar. Was it Senior Brother Zhao calling you?" Senior Brother Meng also spoke.

Walkie talkie?
Chen Lang once again urged his true energy, signaling them to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice:

"Can you hear the sound? I'm the contact person, please reply if you hear me."

Soon, the sounds of swords and roars from the opposite side weakened, and the sound of running was heard, followed by the rustling of leaves, and finally silence.

"It's me, Team 7. We encountered some prey here and are currently fighting. Does headquarters have any arrangements?"

Then, several more voices were heard.

"This is Team 19, on patrol."

"Team 4, just captured 4 people, preparing to withdraw."

……

When Han Tianxiao and Senior Brother Meng heard this, they were so shocked that they dared not breathe. What was going on?
More than 20 Pingtian Sect teams are hunting them. If they take the initiative to contact them now, aren’t they afraid of being found?
