— Half a month later —
Bai Ning's standing within the Greenflame Sect progressed from that of a slightly noteworthy Trial Disciple to an up-and-coming Outer Disciple with a bright future ahead of her. Because of this high status, the matter of her being the sole survivor of one of many sudden surges in Demon Beast Tides was no longer put under scrutiny.
This also meant that Necro was far less likely to be found out just yet.
Although he was pleased to listen to the reports Bai Ning brought back to him, a completely unrelated problem arose…
"I'm not getting enough Lifespan or Evolution Points…"
Even with Roots that extended in every direction for over a hundred meters and Soldiers that scoured the Devastation Woods constantly, there was simply not enough to kill. At the rate Necro was going, it would take years to evolve to Rank 5—and that was without considering further diminishing returns on any Lifespan acquired.
