Chapter 84 Successful Imitation! The Thousand Soul Banner!
Zhan Yunhe turned his head at the sound, his gaze falling on Butcher Brother, and asked calmly, "Why are you in such a panic?"
"President————"
Butcher Brother stared at Zhan Yunhe, a hint of hesitation and scrutiny flashing in his three eyes, and tentatively asked, "What business did you go to Guangyang City on? Why are you only coming back now?"
"What do I need to report to you about?"
Zhan Yunhe asked a question indifferently, then turned and walked towards the villa.
Butcher suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on his shoulder, asking, "Boss, I'd like to take a look at the safe room. Could you take me there?"
This statement came out.
Zhan Yunhe stopped in his tracks.
"Butcher----"
Zhan Yunhe's voice suddenly turned icy, "Have you lost your mind, daring to order me around?!"
Suddenly, an extremely fierce aura erupted.
Butcher's legs went weak, and he was almost powerless to resist, collapsing to his knees with a thud.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
"Chairman—"
The butcher's voice trembled, filled with terror, "So you—you were the real one!"
Zhan Yunhe asked, "What do you mean?"
Butcher Bro quickly explained, "I was outside the safe room just now and saw another guild leader inside. I was momentarily confused and thought you were an imposter—"
At this moment, Butcher Bro finally realized that the chairman he met in the safe room was a fake.
In his view, appearance can be faked, and aura can be disguised, but the terrifying pressure he felt just now could not possibly be fake.
"Oh no!!"
Zhan Yunhe's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ran towards the safe room.
Butcher Bro scrambled after him.
At the same time that the two rushed towards the safe room.
Second floor stairwell.
Two servants came down, one on each side.
Their pace was neither hurried nor slow, as if they were simply leaving their posts routinely late at night, without attracting anyone's attention.
The two left the villa and got into Boss Meng's car.
It was Zhu Que and Boss Meng.
The two moved extremely quickly, swiftly changing out of the servants' clothes and into the uniforms of men in black.
They then drove away from the manor. Since leaving wasn't strictly regulated, the journey was smooth and unimpeded until they were completely away from the manor.
Zhu Que let out a heavy sigh. If they had been even half a step slower, they would have been trapped in the safe room by Zhan Yunhe.
"It's really not easy to earn this little bit of money from you and your apprentice."
Meng Laoda breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "How so? Have you taken care of things for you and your apprentice?"
'
"It's settled! We'll give you the money in the form of a Gauntlet of Control."
For Zhu Que, having analyzed the flagpole of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, giving this money to Boss Meng would definitely be a good deal.
This risk was well worth it.
Zhu Que leaned back in his chair, with only one thought in his mind at that moment—
Return to the cave warehouse as soon as possible, and replicate a flagpole for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to see the effect of combining it with the banner.
at the same time.
Zhu Que and Meng Laoda had just left the manor.
Zhan Yunhe checked the safe and found that nothing was missing.
After questioning the doorman and the servants, he confirmed that the butcher was not lying to him; they had all seen him as the first person.
"Immediately seal off the manor and forbid anyone from leaving."
"yes!"
"President, those two people went into the safe room, but they didn't touch anything. Why is that?"
"I don't know—" Zhan Yunhe's eyes flashed with a cold light, "but it's definitely not a good thing."
"I was wondering how the flag was stolen last time. Turns out someone can impersonate me."
"These people are quite capable; they can even break through the sealing array I set up silently."
Zhan Yunhe let out a soft breath, his tone returning to calm.
"Boss, should I immediately search for masters of disguise in Jinfeng Town?" Butcher asked tentatively.
"Okay, but call Huozi over first, there's something more important for you to do."
"What is it, Chairman?"
"The matter of murder."
Cave warehouse.
After parting ways with Elder Meng, Zhu Que rushed back immediately.
"Big brother's back—!"
As soon as he entered, the little ghosts floated over and circled around him, chattering away, but not annoyingly.
"Don't rush, don't rush, I know you're hungry, I'll cook for you in a bit."
Zhu Que smiled and reassured them.
Then.
He couldn't wait to take out a pile of old and broken items.
-
According to the requirements, 10 second-tier cloth artifacts and 2 second-tier gold artifacts were first replicated, and then 12 second-tier spirit artifacts were placed into the nine-square grid.
"Buzz"
Imitation begins.
Zhu Que waited expectantly for ten minutes, and finally—
[Successfully replicated!]
[The flagpole of the Thousand Soul Banner: No rank, gold. The core component of the Thousand Soul Banner. The flagpole itself does not possess any independent function; it must be combined with the banner to awaken its full power.]
Side effects: None reported.
Zhu Que reached out and took the flagpole out.
The flagpole was entirely black, its surface engraved with spiritual patterns, exuding an indescribable chilling aura.
He then took out the banner of the Thousand Soul Banner and placed the two magical artifact parts together.
Upon closer inspection, a very subtle groove was discovered hidden on the inner edge of the flagpole.
It fits the flag perfectly.
Zhu Que immediately tried it, inserting one side of the flag into the groove. When the two were fully fitted, "whoosh!"
It was accompanied by a deep, resonant sound.
The Thousand Soul Banner, which had been hanging limply, suddenly began to flutter even without wind, and an unsettling aura spread out.
On the flag, streaks of crimson light appeared, and the entire flagpole trembled slightly.
"This is...being awakened?"
Zhu Que tentatively reached out and grasped the flagpole of the Thousand Soul Banner. Twisted tadpole-like characters immediately appeared before his eyes.
[Thousand Soul Banner: Tier 3, High-grade, Golden Silk Artifact. It can bind and refine the souls of living beings into soul servants. The more soul servants it contains, the stronger its power.]
[Side effect: Unable to restrain intelligent beings such as humans, as well as the souls of creatures that are too large or have excessive vitality.]
Zhu Que wasn't too surprised when he saw the description of the magical artifact; it was exactly the same as the Myriad Soul Banner he had imagined.
However, this side effect stunned him.
"If we can't restrain humans, and we can't restrain creatures that are too large or too full of life, then what can we restrain?"
"Could it be—that they really intend to restrain the souls of flies and mosquitoes?"
Zhu Que was somewhat confused.
He looked up at the group of little ghosts, who had all gathered around and were staring curiously at the Thousand Soul Banner.
Although the Thousand Soul Banner exuded an extremely evil aura, these little guys were not afraid at all.
An idea immediately popped into Zhu Que's mind.
"Little ones, I have a task for you. After you finish it, you can eat."
"What's the mission, big brother?" the little ghosts asked curiously.
"Go outside and catch some small animals for me."
Zhu Que said, "It would be best to have a variety of species, small flies and mosquitoes, and large wild dogs and gray wolves, catch some of them all for me."
The little ghosts were stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
The little monkey said, "But we can't leave the cave. They said it's very dangerous outside—"
"them?"
"It's those two people."
The little monkey pointed to the cave entrance next door.
Zhu Que understood that they were talking about the pair of skeletons. He patted the boy's head and said gently, "It's okay. It's not dangerous outside now, and with your big brother here, I can protect you."
"Okay! Let's go catch some small animals then. We trust our big brother!"
The little monkey grinned and nodded vigorously.
Then, the little monkey led a group of little ghosts outside, bringing long-awaited peace to the cave.
Zhu Que looked at the Thousand Soul Banner in his hand, eager to test its abilities.
