Looking at the Dantian, with only the sixth Soul Slayer Flag remaining, Bai Xiaofan also understood why the power of the Soul Slayer Flag was not as formidable as Xue Yi had previously described.

Every generation of the Refining Sect's Sect Master would consume most of the power of the Soul Slayer Flag's souls after each use. To replenish it, they could only do so through killing!

However, when the flag reached Wu Ji Zhen Ren, for some unknown reason, it was never replenished with souls again!

"Perhaps you have noticed, so do you know why I have never replenished it with souls?"

Seeing Bai Xiaofan open his eyes, Wu Ji Zhen Ren slumped powerlessly on the side, appearing lethargic.

"Please enlighten me, Zhen Ren!"

Bai Xiaofan shook his head and said respectfully.

"The Sect Leaders of the three major sects have actually long discovered the secret of the Soul Slayer Flag. Although they all wanted the flag, they were bound by mutual constraints and collectively set a rule for me, prohibiting me from replenishing the souls with murder!"

"That's also why the power of the Soul Slayer Flag has become weaker and weaker, unable to even handle a mere Ouyang Zi!"

"I suppose this time Ouyang Zi came to challenge the mountain under someone else's order!"

"Therefore, I want to pass the main flag of the Soul Slayer Flag to you. In three days, I will take the secondary flag to perish. By that time, whether you choose to join Zi Xiao Ge or leave, I will not blame you!"

"However, there's one thing I hope you can agree to, which is not to use the Soul Slayer Flag until your power is sufficient for self-protection, to avoid being robbed by those with ill intentions!"

Wu Ji Zhen Ren leaned against the wall behind him, speaking intermittently, clearly with little life remaining.

"Please rest assured, Zhen Ren, I will not join Zi Xiao Ge. As for the Refining Sect, if I have the ability, I will certainly rebuild it!"

Bai Xiaofan stood up, clasped his hands towards Wu Ji Zhen Ren, his attitude extraordinarily sincere.

Although he had not known Wu Ji Zhen Ren for long, Wu Ji Zhen Ren was like both a mentor and a friend to him.

Not to mention this kindness, just because of many secrets on him, Bai Xiaofan would not join Zi Xiao Ge!

Bai Xiaofan knows of Ouyang Zi's terror. If he joins Zi Xiao Ge, he might be noticed by Ouyang Zi.

"All right, you may leave now, I need to recover from my injuries!"

Wu Ji Zhen Ren waved his hand and sat down cross-legged alone.

Bai Xiaofan exited the cave, Xue Yi, and Xia Qingxuan immediately surrounded him.

"I'll go back to heal first!"

Before they could say anything, Bai Xiaofan left a message and flew towards the outer gate.

Xue Yi helplessly glanced at Xia Qingxuan and also followed Bai Xiaofan's steps.

Back in the cave, Bai Xiaofan still ignored Xue Yi, focusing on healing his internal injuries.

This time, Bai Xiaofan was seriously injured by Ouyang Zi's attack. Although it didn't affect his Primordial Spirit, it was not easy to endure, and he had to repair it quickly.

Three days passed in a flash!

In these three days, the Refining Sect was truly in turmoil, and even the most basic cultivation seemed to be abandoned!

Even though the Second and Third Elders were working hard to stabilize people's minds, the hearts of the people had already scattered after Wu Ji Zhen Ren was seriously injured!

On this morning, everyone within the Refining Sect had already gathered, standing in front of the main hall.

Compared to the first time when everyone was clustered together, there was a significant change this time.

The disciples of the Refining Sect now stood in two distinct groups; one side with the Second Elder, Third Elder, Xia Qingxuan, and part of the core disciples.

The other side comprised another part of core disciples, leading a large number of Refining Sect disciples.

The two sides formed a stark contrast!

"You traitors! Our Refining Sect has not yet fallen, and you are already preparing to betray us?"

The Third Elder, with the most fiery temper, yelled loudly at those people.

But none of them paid him any attention, as if they hadn't heard him at all.

"Forget it, let them be. The master once said that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. This time, it seems the Refining Sect is really in dire straits!"

After the day Bai Xiaofan left, Xia Qingxuan had also met with Wu Ji Zhen Ren.

At that time, Wu Ji Zhen Ren had mentioned this scene to her, so although she felt aggrieved and unwilling at this moment, she could do nothing.

"Where is Bai Xiaofan? Did he run away when the Refining Sect needed help?"

The Second Elder looked around and did not find Bai Xiaofan's figure, making him ask out loud.

"Isn't that him?"

Xia Qingxuan looked at the direction of the mountain gate, seeing Bai Xiaofan in a blue robe standing proudly to the side, and beside him was the blood-colored clad Xue Yi.

The two stood in the air at this moment, looking so perfectly matched.

"Is this guy about to break through again? Why does it feel like he's about to reach the late stage of the Earth Immortal realm?"

The Third Elder frowned, staring at Bai Xiaofan and said.

"If our Refining Sect wasn't facing this calamity, with Bai Xiaofan's talent, we might have progressed further in the Inter-Sect Competition!"

The Second Elder said with some regret, acknowledging Bai Xiaofan's abilities.

Rumbling!

Just then, a series of booming sounds came from a distance. It was Ouyang Zi leading a group of Zi Xiao Ge disciples to arrive.

"Wu Ji, I'm here to take your life!"

Ouyang Zi stood in mid-air, atop the mountain gate, yelling towards the direction of the Refining Sect's main hall.

"Ouyang Zi, even if I die today, I'll fight you!"

Following Ouyang Zi's words, Wu Ji Zhen Ren's voice came from the back mountain direction of the Refining Sect.

Immediately afterward, a grey figure sliced through the sky and flew over; it was Wu Ji Zhen Ren.

"Wu Ji, you're overestimating yourself. Three days ago, you were severely injured, your Primordial Spirit heavily wounded, and the Soul Slayer Flag had seven souls slain by me. What do you have to fight me now?"

Ouyang Zi arrogantly stood in mid-air, with no decrease in his aura compared to three days ago.

"If you seek battle, then battle it is. What do I fear?"

Wu Ji Zhen Ren's large hand trembled, and the Soul Slayer Flag reappeared in his hand.

Looking at the Soul Slayer Flag in Wu Ji Zhen Ren's hand, only Bai Xiaofan knew it wasn't the true flag but the secondary flag.

However, others couldn't see it, and Bai Xiaofan noticed that after witnessing Wu Ji Zhen Ren summon the Soul Slayer Flag again, a blatant glint of greed flashed deep within Ouyang Zi's eyes.
