Chapter 650: Chapter 407 Root of Evil_2

But there was a limit to this interference. Being a Tier-8 cultivator, Owen Bertram was able to successfully contact the Black Swordswoman.

However, Owen Bertram’s plan was not to summon the Black Swordswoman to destroy the Root of Evil with a single sky-crossing sword strike.

The distance from here to the Capital was too far, and even a Tier-8 Sword Artifact’s cross-space strike might only have Tier-7 power. Furthermore, the source of the Root of Evil’s power was quite strange, and it might not be destroyed by just one sword strike.

Owen Bertram moved his palm and took out the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman.

His solution was actually quite crude and direct. Since it couldn’t be completely destroyed at the moment, why not contain it? Imprison the Root of Evil within an object.

Among all of Owen Bertram’s Magic Treasures, there were two suitable ones to contain the Root of Evil: the Ancient Village Sword and the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman.

The Ancient Village Sword was left in the Ghost Zone and couldn’t be summoned due to the obstruction of the grey mist. So, the only option left was the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman. However, when using the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman, it was actually not the talisman itself containing the Root of Evil, but the massive Ghost Army within it.

The Ghost Army had lost its memory and harbored an obsessive desire for it. The source of the Root of Evil’s power was precisely those painful memories.

By sending the Root of Evil into the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman, the Ghost Army would scramble to tear apart and disperse the Root of Evil – in this sense, the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman was more suitable for containing the Root of Evil than the Ancient Village Sword.

However, regardless of which one, there would be a huge risk of losing control after containing the Root of Evil! After containing the Root of Evil, it could be expected that the Ghost Army’s strength would greatly increase, and there was even a high possibility that they would undergo Demonic Transformation like Dave. Whether the Tiger Talisman could still suppress them... was uncertain.

After containing it, Owen Bertram would immediately rush to the Capital and hand over the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman to the Black Swordswoman to suppress it!

If there was no Black Swordswoman’s support, Owen Bertram could only set up a powerful Talisman seal and then throw it into a Gourd. This method was obviously not as reliable as the Black Swordswoman.

At this time, Owen Bertram’s sword light converged from all directions, weaving a cage to tightly trap the Root of Evil within it.

Upon Owen Bertram’s mental command, he sent the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman into the sword light cage. The Tiger Talisman split open in mid-air, and a huge pulling force surged out of the narrow void between the two halves. Caught off guard, a portion of the Root of Evil’s tendrils were directly sucked into the talisman.

Owen Bertram urged the sword light to compress inward from the surrounding area, trying to push the Root of Evil into the Tiger Talisman.

The pulling force came from the Ghost Army. Owen Bertram did not release them but only issued this command. After a small part of the Root of Evil was pulled in, many Ghost Soldiers discovered that there were huge "memories" within! So they swarmed up and scrambled for it.

Last time when Harrison Ainsworth’s soul was taken, there wasn’t enough for the Tier-6 Great Ghosts, let alone the ordinary Ghost Soldiers who didn’t dare to overstep. But this time there was a massive amount of memories, and the Ghost Soldiers felt that everyone should have a share, right?

As a result, the entire Ghost Army was highly motivated from top to bottom and crazily tried to pull the entire Root of Evil in.

The source of the Root of Evil’s power was the pain of hundreds of thousands of people, and there were also hundreds of thousands of Ghost Soldiers... The numbers were almost equal, so with the struggle and pulling, both sides were evenly matched!

Although the Ghost Army had multiple Tier-6 cultivators, the Root of Evil could also control a large amount of evil energy.

At this moment, Owen Bertram’s sword energy from outside played a critical role!

The Root of Evil wriggled madly, extending more tendrils into the gap to gain support and stabilize its form. However, Owen Bertram would not allow it to succeed. Massive Thunder Lights shot out, shattering those tendrils into pieces.

Although these tendrils could regroup after turning into black smoke, they were inevitably being pulled into the Tiger Talisman bit by bit.

Owen Bertram’s biggest concern was the issue of the Ghost Soldiers’ Demonic Transformation; thus, he divided his attention in two, using sword energy and Thunder Lights to assist on one hand, while monitoring changes in the Ghost Soldiers within the Tiger Talisman on the other.

As a result, things were even more optimistic than Owen Bertram had anticipated. While the hundreds of thousands of Ghost Soldiers were indeed greatly affected when they devoured the Root of Evil, the painful memories made them become irritable. Under the influence of the evil energy that flowed in, the Ghost Soldiers howled and roared as if they wanted to destroy everything and impose their pain on all living beings they could see.

But after all, the burden was shared among hundreds of thousands of Ghost Soldiers. The amount of evil energy entering the Tiger Talisman was far less than that in the gray mist world outside, so overall, it could still be suppressed.

However, it was true that after devouring the Root of Evil, the strength of these Ghost Soldiers, especially the Tier-6 Great Ghosts, had significantly increased.

It took Owen Bertram almost half a shichen (1 hour) to stuff the entire Root of Evil into the Ghost Soldier Tiger Talisman! In the end, a few tendrils floated outside, helplessly reaching for the gap, but they couldn’t escape their fate of merging with the Tiger Talisman.

Suddenly, some kind of organ appeared in the gap, looking quite bizarre and completely different from the Real World. The organ vanished in a flash, but Owen Bertram felt a sudden chill in his heart: I’ve been targeted by it!

That organ might have been an eye or a nose, or perhaps not either of those, as the void on that side was vastly different from the Real World’s concept. Owen Bertram could only be sure of one thing: he was marked by an existence from the other side of the void.

It was a blatant threat!

Owen Bertram was furious! As a cultivator in the Sixth Great Realm, he was one of the peak powerhouses in this world. Who do you think you are? How dare you be so disrespectful to me in the Real World?

With a cold snort, Owen Bertram flicked his finger!
