It wasn't just Yang Shan.

There is clearly only one entrance to this secret realm.

Therefore, Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng were also teleported to Yang Shan's side.

Both of them were also ambushed.

Chao Bafang held his halberd horizontally, steadily parrying his opponent's broadsword:

"If you want to ambush your grandpa Chao, go back and train for another ten or eight years!"

Zhu Tianpeng's side was even more outrageous.

The one who ambushed him was a metal-attribute Da Dou Shi who used fist Dou Technique.

But Zhu Tianpeng had his hands in his pockets.

The azure blue third-tier Beast Water blocked his way, preventing the opponent's fist from getting even an inch in.

"Didn't you eat breakfast this morning? With so little strength, you can barely knead dough, and you dare to come out and launch a sneak attack? Bah!"

Yang Shan laughed helplessly, "You two are both really good at pretending!"

Yang Shan counted carefully; there were eighteen people on the other side in total.

They Pure One Suit Da Dou Shi.

Three of them have Purple Word Seal.

The introduction only has one sentence: A master from the mysterious "Azure Cloud Association".

With the presence of the Soul Envoy under the Protector Wu Azure Cloud Association Sect Protector, and the cooperation of Yun Shan, they have secretly expanded their influence to cover the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Every city that players can visit has a branch of the Azure Cloud Association.

They just all hide in the shadows.

However, these branch strongholds are actually very powerful.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused so much trouble for players in subsequent versions.

In Cloud Frost City, Yang Shan remembered that the branch leader's name was Qin Jian.

In fact, his strength is far superior to that of Pang Yunfei, the head of the Pang Family, Chai Lie, the head of the Chai Family! The one currently leading the group is named Qin Qiang, who has the cultivation of Great Fighter Peak.

He watched as his three subordinates returned empty-handed, while the three on the other side remained so calm and collected, leaving him somewhat unsure of their true intentions.

"Third-tier Beast Soil, third-tier Beast Water, and more."

Qin Qiang finally turned his gaze to Yang Shan:

"Such a young Eight Star Great Fighter, yet the power he wields when he draws his sword is truly domineering!"

In Qin Qiang's eyes, these three in front of him were all formidable opponents! Qin Qiang clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three of them:

"Gentlemen, this is not a place for you. We have no intention of making enemies, so please leave!"

Although, judging from the main storyline, the Azure Cloud Association's secret schemes were indeed aimed at acquiring the treasures in these Opportunity Realm.

But exploiting and killing players is also one of their main objectives.

However, the Azure Cloud Association has not yet surfaced.

Yang Shan didn't know if any other players had obtained information about the Azure Cloud Association from NPCs or other channels in the current version.

But at least there weren't any obvious leaks on the forum.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Azure Cloud Association, those who remain hidden in the shadows do not necessarily have to immediately sharpen their knives upon seeing players.

They were also determined to obtain the treasures in the Wind Spirit King's Main Tomb.

Yang Shan, Chao Bafang, and Zhu Tianpeng displayed overwhelming strength. If a conflict were to break out, Qin Qiang believed that his side would likely suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, we might as well use intimidation to make Yang Shan and the others retreat.

But Yang Shan had a pretty good idea of Qin Qiang's thoughts.

Yang Shan secretly sent messages to Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng.

The three exchanged glances.

Chao Bafang immediately raised his halberd. "I am General Chao Bafang, a veteran of countless battles. How could you petty scoundrels possibly be persuaded to retreat with just a few words?"

Zhu Tianpeng shouted:

"Get out of my way right now, or your corpses will have to be used to pave this path!"

Hearing this, Qin Qiang's temper flared up.

"Does my Great Fighter Peak level just look like a decoration?" Qin Qiang's hand radiated emerald green Dou Qi.

"Since you're courting death, then don't blame this elder!"

Green Dou Qi is generally of the wood element.

Of course, there is also some dark green Dou Qi, which is a poisonous attribute mutated from wood attribute.

But Qin Qiang is clearly not involved in drugs.

Wood-attribute cultivators have excellent recovery abilities, making them highly skilled in prolonged battles.

Unfortunately, Yang Shan did not intend to get entangled with Qin Qiang and the group of Da Dou Shi from the Azure Cloud Association behind him.

Chao Bafang shouted emphatically, "We are determined to fight! We will die for our cause!"

Zhu Tianpeng casually covered Chao Bafang with a layer of Beast Water: "Go, Brother Chao, my water is your water!"

Chao Bafang: "What the hell are you talking about, you son of a bitch?"

Zhu Tianpeng: "I'm telling you, Brother Chao, you're as fierce as a god or a demon. You could beat them into impotence in just a few moves!"

Watching the two performers' frenzied act, Qin Qiang's face twisted into a grimace:

"All of you, charge! Kill them!"

As soon as Qin Qiang finished speaking, he heard a faint crackling sound of electricity.

A blinding white light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

"Dou Qi Armor!"

Qin Qiang barely managed to cover his entire body with his Dou Qi Armor.

Yang Shan's attack has arrived!

Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash! However, Yang Shan only managed to slash Qin Qiang once.

Qin Qiang's emerald green Dou Qi Armor immediately dimmed by three points.

The remaining two strikes were interspersed with three normal attacks.

Yang Shan slashed five times in total, all of which landed on the Dou Qi Armor of the other five people around Qin Qiang.

With just Thunder Spirit Flash and Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash, Yang Shan managed to tear a gap in the defense line of the eighteen Da Dou Shi.

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng's Dou Technique followed closely behind.

Both of them used Yellow Tier Dou Technique that consumed very little Dou Qi.

However, with the amplification from Tier 3 Beast Soil and Tier 3 Beast Water, it still possesses considerable power.

Taking advantage of the gap, Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng immediately followed Yang Shan's pace and rushed forward without looking back.

It's not that Yang Shan couldn't kill Qin Qiang.

It is because the Wood-attribute Da Dou Shi has strong recovery ability that killing him will take a long time.

Furthermore, if Yang Shan's prediction is correct...

Qin Qiang and his group are very likely not to come after them!

"Elder Qin, these three."

"No need to chase!"

Qin Qiang suppressed his anger:

"Our mission is to guard the entrance. If we can't, we'll let it through. My elder brother and the branch experts are inside. Even if those three go, they'll only be courting death! In front of Dou Ling expert, any Da Dou Shi is just a joke!"

After running for a short while, Yang Shan, Chao Bafang, and Zhu Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng said, panting heavily:

"Brother Yang, they didn't chase after us!"

Yang Shan then stopped and took a deep breath:

"Alright, explore the surrounding area and see if there's anything good there. Don't go to the deepest part yet."

Chao Bafang: "Great God, why didn't you just kill them? With the three of us at our current strength, a little teamwork would have been enough to wipe them out! Those Great Fighter Peak with Purple Word Seal might have dropped some good stuff."

Yang Shan: "Leaving aside the battle, the recovery of Dou Qi will also take a lot of time. The most important thing is that they are just guards. The treasures in the main tomb are not on them. If we kill them, who will help us block the door?"

Zhu Tianpeng: "What?! Brother Yang, you actually think that way?"

Yang Shan: "Of course, we need to broaden our horizons and not let petty gains delay important matters!"

Jin Shankao and Ye Suifeng are almost certainly about to enter the main tomb.

Besides them, there are countless other players to come.

The number of Azure Wind Wolf is ultimately limited, but players can revive indefinitely.

This main tomb will be overcrowded sooner or later.

If we don't take advantage of this time to search for the items hidden in the main tomb, we might have to compete with countless other players for them later! Chao Bafang nodded quite seriously:

"The Great God really thought of everything!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "Otherwise, why would he be the boss and we be the employees?"

Yang Shan: "If you two can't make it in Doupo anymore, you should be able to stay alive as a comedian and straight man in a crosstalk performance!"

The main tomb is actually quite large.

The main road is about ten meters wide and stretches forward without end.

There are hidden doors every so often along both sides of the road.

Yang Shan tried to open one of the doors.

The room inside the door was not large, containing only a stone table with a rather exquisite box on it.

[Ding! Player, please note that this room contains the Wind Spirit King's collection. An illusion exists within the room; you can obtain the collection by navigating through the illusion.]

After explaining the situation to the two of them, Yang Shan said, "Collections can be good or bad; you two should try your luck."

Chao Bafang: "Great God, what about you?"

Yang Shan: "There are eighteen Da Dou Shi at the entrance to the secret realm. There are probably even more Azure Cloud Association NPCs inside. I have to guard it for you."

Chao Bafang: "This won't do, I'll guard it."

Yang Shan: "What are you guarding? You think you can handle a Great Fighter Peak? Get out of here."

Zhu Tianpeng clearly understood and laughed, "Brother Chao, let's not stand on ceremony with Brother Yang. Brother Yang probably wouldn't care about this little bit of stuff anyway. We can make some extra money!"

The two entered the room containing the collectibles and began their trial.

Yang Shan did not stand openly in the aisle.

Instead, he opened a hidden door to another room and hid behind it.

A short while later, two Da Dou Shi with Blue Word Seal emerged from the depths of the passage.

He is clearly a member of the Azure Cloud Association.

Yang Shan did not act rashly.

As long as it doesn't affect Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng, Yang Shan doesn't intend to waste his Dou Qi.

The two members of the Azure Cloud Association appear to be still exchanging ideas.

"More and more people are coming from outside!"

"That's perfect! Let them fight amongst themselves, and it would be best if as many people died. Anyway, the best stuff will definitely Azure Cloud Association ours!"

"The seal set up by the Dou Wang is really tough. Our Sect Master, a dignified Five-Star Dou Ling, hasn't been able to break it after all this time."

"What's the rush? Let's patrol first, and if we encounter anyone, we'll deal with them as quickly as possible."

"There shouldn't be anyone here for now, after all, the leader's cousin is guarding the entrance to the secret realm."

The two members of the Azure Cloud Association gradually walked away.

Yang Shan had obtained a useful piece of information.

That is, the best thing in the Wind Spirit King's ruins was sealed away.

The Azure Cloud Association is still trying to find a way to break it.

Yang Shan didn't want to join in the fun for the time being.

Not to mention the other members of the Azure Cloud Association, the branch leader's strength has reached the Five-Star Dou Ling!

The Azure Cloud Association won't be able to break through in a short time, and even if he, an Eight Star Great Fighter, went there, he would only be able to watch helplessly.

It's better to wait and see.

Three more groups of the Azure Cloud Association members walked past in succession through the passage.

Each group consists of two people, both of whom are Da Dou Shi with Blue Word Seal.

But they seemed completely uninterested in the rooms on either side that housed their collections.

This is enough to show that these collections are not very good.

Soon, Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng came out of the collection room.

He muttered in Chao Bafang:

"The trial was tough, but the reward was damn easy: a piece of high-quality armor with Blue Word Seal. What the hell is that?!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "You have a Blue Word Seal, but mine is green! Green! I spent so long typing this."

Yang Shan: "The items in these collection rooms should be a mix of good and bad. There might even be some Hundred Refinements Grade equipment, but it's all a matter of luck. We still have time, so hurry up!"

There are still too few players in the secret realm.

It's unrealistic for the three of them to challenge all the experts at the Yun Shuang Branch of the Azure Cloud Association.

That branch leader is Five-Star Dou Ling level expert, and at the very least, he must have Purple Word Seal. His combat power is absolutely terrifying.

And then there's the suppression from higher realm levels.

Even if the three of them were tied together, they might not be a match for the branch leader!

It's better to wait for more people to come in so we can take advantage of the chaos.

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng didn't waste any time; each of them chose a room and started the trial again.

At the same time, at the entrance to the secret realm.

Jin Shankao and Ye Suifeng arrived together.

Seeing the group of Da Dou Shi closing in, Jin Shankao's face darkened:

"Playing sneak attacks? Have you no Wu De at all? Xiao Ye, take them down!"

Ye Suifeng shouted:

"Are you kidding me, boss? Eighteen Da Dou Shi, three Purple Word Seal? I'm not Yang One-Blade!"
