Chapter 392.
The name of this bead in Wang Chen’s hand was called the Evil Soul Bead.
It sounded like some sort of evil magic weapon, but it was actually a tool that the West Sea Sect allotted to inner disciples to use to accomplish the task of removing evil spirits.
The Evil Soul Bead was able to record the number and level of evil spirits that the tasker had killed, and it was the voucher for handing in the task and rewarding the merit points, without which it was impossible to calculate the merit.
As long as one took on the corresponding quest, they would receive a free ration.
But if it was lost or damaged, it would have to be compensated with hun points, which was quite expensive.
And his intuition told Wang Chen that he was afraid that the Evil Soul Bead was more than just a recording tool.
Something like this was unheard of when he was in the Yunyang Sect before.
The strength of the West Sea Sect was really too strong!
As the saying goes, it’s good to have a big tree at your back, even if it wasn’t for the purpose of running the road world, joining the West Sea Sect was the right choice.
Wang Chen was curious about whether this evil monster that he had finished off with the Heavenly Luo Evil Destroying Net would be recorded by the Evil Soul Bead?
He felt that it most likely wouldn’t.
It would be a bit of a loss.
After thinking about it, Wang Dust re-collected the Evil Soul Bead and then started sweeping Wuyan Town.
The chief evil had been removed, so he didn’t panic or slow down, launching his search house by house.
Under Wang Chuan’s Cave Truth Technique, the evil spirits hiding in the darkness had nothing to hide from, and were pulled out one after another.
Every now and then, a spiritual light bloomed in the town shrouded by night.
The darkness and evil retreated little by little.
When the first rays of the morning sun shone in Wuyan Town, this Central State border town was devoid of any evil spirits.
Although it was still empty and deserted, it would no longer give people an eerie feeling.
Greeting the sunrise, Wang Chen took to the air with his sword and flew towards the direction of Huishan County Town.
In last night’s fierce battle, his results were quite brilliant, and in the final tally of human virtue points, he had actually increased by more than fifteen thousand points.
This allowed Wang Dust’s total number of human virtues to break through the twenty thousand mark!
In this way, Wang Dust didn’t even have to worry about adding points to refresh his skill proficiency in a short period of time.
To be honest, he didn’t even expect that he would be able to take out so many evil spirits.
Although the harvest was quite fruitful, Wang Chuan also saw that as the central place of the Western Sea Spiritual Domain, the Central State was no longer a peaceful and happy land!
With the strength of the Western Sea Sect, there was definitely no problem suppressing a state.
The problem was that evil spirits could never be wiped out clean, and with the Great Calamity having risen, the future of the Central State was truly unpredictable.
The West Sea Sect might not be very safe either!
The urgency to enhance his strength once again flooded Wang Chen’s mind.
He flew all the way and soon arrived at Huaishan County, landing directly at the town guard’s mansion in the city.
“Senior Brother Wang!”
Huai Shan Town Guard Envoy Zhao Hongyi greeted him and asked with concern, “How is the situation?”
Last night, Wang Chen hadn’t returned for the night, to say that his heart wasn’t half worried was simply impossible.
As an inner disciple of the West Sea Sect, if something happened to Wang Duan in the territory that Zhao Hongyi was guarding, then he would have to take a great deal of responsibility.
Now that he saw that Wang Chen was safe and sound, this Town Guard Envoy was also greatly relieved.
Wang Dust put away his Yao Guang Sword and replied, “The evil spirits in Wuyan Town have been cleared.”
“Excellent.”
Zhao Hongyi rejoiced, “Tough on Senior Brother Wang!”
During this period of time, Zhao Hongyi had been under extreme pressure.
Although he was a Purple Mansion Cultivator and practiced the techniques inherited from the Western Sea Sect, he was quite strong.
However, he couldn’t leave to guard Huaishan City and could only watch the villages and towns below suffer, so he was really anxious.
Wang Dust’s arrival could be said to have solved the pressing problem.
“Senior brother need not be polite.”
Wang Dust waved his hand and said, “I’m also here to earn Hoon Points.”
Zhao Hongyi laughed.
He invited Wang Dust to take a seat in the living room and ordered the maidservant to bring tea, then asked, “Senior Brother Wang, then what are your next plans, to continue doing quests?”
The eyes of this Huai Shan Town Guard Envoy showed eagerness.
It was not easy to expect the sect to have a Zifu with high combat power, he did not want Wang Chen to leave just like that.
“Uh-huh.”
Wang Dust nodded, “I’d like to ask Senior Brother to continue to sit in the county town, and I’ll proceed to clear the townships below.”
There was no upper limit to the task of clearing out evil spirits, and the more evil spirits one took out, the more generous the reward of merit points one received.
Sect merit points were in immediate demand for Wang Chen now, and after traveling a long way to this side, of course he couldn’t leave easily.
It had to be swiped in one go!
“Good!”
Zhao Hongyi high-fived and praised, “This time, it’s really thanks to Senior Brother.”
He revealed a pensive look.
Wang Chen noticed and smiled, “Senior Brother Zhao, you and I are from the same sect, so let’s just say what you have to say.”
Zhao Hongyi blushed, “There’s something else I want to ask for senior brother’s help.”
The main reason why Zhao Hongyi was stuck in the county town, unable to support the towns and villages below that were being ravaged by evil spirits, was because in the last half a year, there were evil spirits haunting Huaishan County!
In just a few short months, dozens of families in the city had been exterminated, and hundreds of people had been drained of their essence and blood and died horribly.
Several of these families were also cultivator families!
Zhao Hongyi used all of his power to track them down, but he never found any trace of the evil spirit.
The opponent was hidden so deeply that even the guard drums couldn’t expel it!
“I suspect it might be an evil cultivator.”
Zhao Hongyi’s expression was extremely grave; “That’s why I didn’t dare to leave the county town, just for fear that if I went out, a city full of people would be sacrificed!”
There was a spell formation arranged inside the town hall, and it was only under Zhao Hongyi’s control that it was able to maximize its power.
He guessed that this might be the reason why the evil spirits or evil cultivators had been in deep hiding.
Once Zhao Hongyi was out of the city, it was normal for the spell formation to be breached by the enemy without the abode of a high-ranking cultivator.
Instances of evil cultivators taking the blood sacrifices of people all over the city abounded, so Zhao Hongyi could not afford to be sloppy and careless.
After all, this was where his foundation was!
Zhao Hongyi hoped that Wang Duan could help him dig out this evil cultivator, or evil spirit, and solve the scourge of the county first.
Then he would free up his strength to support the villages and towns below and save the people from the fire!
“It can be done.”
Wang Chen thought about it and still agreed to Zhao Hongyi’s request.
It wasn’t just for the sake of fellowship, Huaishan City now belonged to Wang Duan’s mission stronghold, and if there was a huge threat lurking in this stronghold, it wouldn’t be good for him.
Most importantly, the county had the largest population gathered in it, and in the event of an evil cultivator blood sacrifice incident, the consequences would be unimaginable!
But digging out the scourge was not a simple matter, the previous problem that Zhao Hongyi had spent a lot of manpower and resources on had not been solved, it was not as if Wang Dust would be able to easily fix it once he came.
The two deliberated for half a day, formulating and perfecting a plan out.
“Senior Brother Wang.”
Zhao Hongyi finally took out a storage bag and pushed it in front of Wang Duan, “This is my small token of appreciation, please accept it with honor.”
