After hearing White Monarch True Person’s words, all the cultivators present fell into silence.

It was definitely the right decision to take the initiative and destroy the massive evil nest that appeared outside Weifa City.

But the risk of leaving the fortress with its City Protecting Great Array to attack the enemy’s stronghold was well known to everyone.

Survival was by no means guaranteed, and making great sacrifices was inevitable.

The question was, how many were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect Weifa City?

White Monarch True Person looked down upon the hall from above, observing each person’s expression and said indifferently, “For this battle, I will personally participate. Those of you who wish to join the Evil-Suppressing Army, step forward now.”

He extended his hand, pointing to a spot to the right of the lectern.

The various cultivators looked at each other, the hall was eerily silent, and the atmosphere was oppressively tense.

At this moment, a cultivator suddenly rose to his feet, his expression one of utter determination.

He said loudly, “Disciple is willing!”

After speaking, he took large strides to the spot pointed out by White Monarch True Person.

White Monarch True Person revealed a hint of a smile and said, “Good.”

Everyone understood that this fellow disciple who stepped up had caught the eye of the True Person.

If he survived this battle and Weifa City was saved, then his status in the sect would surely rise significantly.

Even being accepted into a cultivator lineage would be trivial.

Cultivators who dared to pioneer the Yin Nether Realm were numerous and brave. Seeing this scene, they no longer hesitated.

One after another, they stepped forward to join the ranks.

White Monarch True Person suddenly spoke, “Female cultivators need not participate.”

Female cultivators accounted for less than one-tenth of all the cultivators present.

Among them, several female cultivators wanted to join the ranks.

Wang Chen didn’t expect this Golden Core True Person to have such a chauvinistic attitude; he followed a few fellow disciples and also stood in the ranks of volunteers.

It wasn’t that Wang Chen was trying to show off, but he felt that with White Monarch True Person personally joining the battle, facing peer entities from the evil monsters, even if attacking the Evil Nest was dangerous, he should have no problem ensuring his own safety.

Besides, with such a high-ranking Golden Core no longer present, Weifa City couldn’t be considered safe either.

When the number of volunteers reached eight hundred, White Monarch True Person suddenly raised his hand, “That’s enough.”

He flicked his sleeve, and streams of purple light burst forth, instantly transforming into sets of black and purple armor, hovering over each participating cultivator’s head.

“Eight hundred disciples, each first awarded three thousand contribution merits, and rewarded with a set of Bauhinia Spirit Armor!”

“After the battle’s success, further merits will be rewarded!”

No sooner had White Monarch True Person’s voice faded than the armors in the air instantly fell down, fitting onto each cultivator’s body with perfect precision, regardless of their size or shape.

The participating cultivators couldn’t help showing expressions of surprise.

The Bauhinia Spirit Armor was no ordinary equipment, but a standard-issue Purple Mansion Tier Combat Armor of the West Sea Sect, considered a high-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Not only was the Bauhinia Spirit Armor incredibly defensive, but it also contained three layers of inscribed arrays, capable of activating various Purple Mansion Tier spells, significantly enhancing the cultivators’ combat power.

But the cost of crafting such armors was extremely high, requiring a great deal of contribution merits to exchange for one set, so most Inner Sect Disciples could only dream of obtaining it.

Unexpectedly, White Monarch True Person had brought out eight hundred sets at once, bestowing them to all participating cultivators.

The generosity was truly astounding.

In comparison, the reward of three thousand contribution merits seemed trivial!

Many cultivators who were initially indifferent about participating now regretted deeply—if only they had known about the distribution of a set of Bauhinia Spirit Armor, joining the Evil-Suppressing Army would have been totally acceptable.

With the protection of this high-grade Spirit Armor, they would truly be much safer.

But by then, it was too late for regrets.

On the preaching stage, a figure flashed and suddenly, a distinguished woman in a plain robe appeared.

White Monarch True Person stood up and said, “This is True Person Miaoyin. During the attack on the Evil Nest led by me, all other disciples shall be under the command of True Person Miaoyin. Should anyone disobey or fail to comply, they shall be executed without mercy!”

The cultivators who remained felt a chill in their hearts.

The words of White Monarch True Person were no joke, equal to enforcing military discipline rather than Sect laws.

It was an extraordinary measure for an extraordinary time.

Naturally, no violations would be tolerated.

A group of cultivators bowed in unison: “Disciples shall strictly follow the decree!”

White Monarch True Person nodded, then said to the cultivators who were participating in the battle, “You have one day to refine your spirit armor. Gather at the city gate at this time tomorrow without delay!”

The cultivators who were going to battle exclaimed in unison, “Disciples shall obey the order!”

In the great hall, an air of solemnity and readiness for battle suddenly prevailed!

When leaving the Sect’s Law Hall, Yun Feifei secretly gave Wang Chen a jade talisman: “Senior Brother Wang, keep this life-protecting spirit talisman. We will wait for your victorious return in the city.”

Wang Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart: “Thank you.”

Although the life-protecting spirit talisman didn’t mean much to him, the sincere goodwill of the other party was priceless.

Yun Feifei smiled sweetly, then left with Li Mengyan, Sun Yulian, and others.

When parting, Li Mengyan clearly wanted to say something to Wang Chen, but in the end, she only transmitted him a message.

“Junior Brother, take care.”

After returning to his residence, Wang Chen instructed Xu An and his mother not to disturb him, then set up restrictions in his room and began to refine the Bauhinia Spirit Armor.

This top-grade spirit armor could not be worn and used at will; without refining and establishing a Divine Soul link, its true power could not be unleashed.

Many cultivators took a spiritual artifact and nurtured it day and night, sharing their fate, to eventually wield it as freely as their own limbs.

One day’s time was indeed too short.

Therefore, he had to race against the clock!

With the armor on, Wang Chen closed his eyes and focused, stimulating his mana to pour into it.

The robust Innate Five Elements mana upon entering the spirit armor, was instantly absorbed by it, and the surface of the armor emitted a faint glow.

The Bauhinia Spirit Armor was standard combat armor without differentiation among the Five Elements, suitable for all Purple Mansion cultivators.

Naturally, it was an excellent match for Wang Chen’s main cultivation techniques. The Five Elements mana flowed smoothly within the armor, rapidly activating the built-in talismanic arrays.

The most special, or rather the most powerful aspect of this spirit armor, lay in its three built-in talismanic arrays.

They are Thorn, Purple Light, and Wind Riding!

Once Thorn was activated, the spirit armor could rebound attacks from enemies unless their power exceeded its carrying capacity.

Purple Light when endowed, could enhance the spell-casting power of Purple Mansion cultivators.

And activating Wind Riding could greatly increase a cultivator’s flying or escape velocity.

Capable of defense, strong in attack, and adept at evasion, the three talismanic arrays were extremely useful and powerful.

Most importantly, cultivators clad in Bauhinia Spirit Armor, once forming a battle formation, could see their combat power boosted by at least thirty percent!

After mastering the Bauhinia Spirit Armor’s inherent refining method, Wang Chen immersed himself fully with undivided attention, sparing no expense of mana, striving to establish the Divine Soul link with the spiritual artifact in the shortest time.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another day had passed!
