"A Two-Star Dou Ling with Blue Word Seal, what's wrong with him that he has to come looking for trouble with me?"

In the mountains and forests, Yang Shan browsed through his inventory and reluctantly picked out a pair of Green Word Seal, Hundred Refinements Grade gauntlets.

It's alright, I can definitely sell it for around a thousand yuan.

The Hoof Shadow appeared beside Yang Shan and snorted several times.

Clearly, Hoof Shadow hadn't expected Yang Shan to eliminate such a large group of enemies so quickly.

However, leveling up in the Dou Ling is indeed difficult. The experience bar has jumped from 15,000 points for Da Dou Shi to 50,000 points! Previously, the experience points for leveling up would increase fivefold for each major realm you crossed.

However, the upgrade from Da Dou Shi to Dou Ling only increased by a little over three times, seemingly indicating a reduction in the required upgrade values.

However, because of the increase in his own level, the experience gained from killing is actually greatly reduced! For example, Yang Shan killed more than a dozen Da Dou Shi and a Two-Star Dou Ling with Blue Word Seal in one go.

The experience bar had only risen slightly, probably less than a tenth! Yang Shan didn't delay any longer, mounted his horse again, and galloped towards Dusk City.

The "security" of Dusk City is better than that of Black Seal City.

After all, Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect, was fifth on the Black Ranking, while the leader of the Eight Gates was tenth.

Of course, the entrance fee is also more expensive.

Three thousand Spirit Stone!

After entering the city discreetly, Yang Shan turned from the street into a side street.

There is also an old pawnshop here.

Behind the Bloodshed Hall stands a Soul Envoy at the Dou Emperor level, so naturally there isn't just one stronghold.

In fact, many cities in the Black-Corner Region have strongholds of the Bloodshed Hall.

Yang Shan walked into the Bloodshed Hall and saw the shopkeeper sitting at the counter reading a book, which made his heart skip a beat.

Why is Luo Xie here? Luo Xie Soul Palace Soul Envoy and the founder of the Bloodshed Hall.

If it weren't for that Protector Xuan parachuted in in his previous life, turning the Bloodshed Hall into a public enemy of the players, this Luo Xie might have already returned to the Soul Hall with a large number of Soul Body and been promoted from Soul Envoy to Protector! However, Yang Shan remembered that the manager of this stronghold in Dusk City should be a Dou Wang expert.

However, Luo Xie is a very pragmatic person.

He knew that he alone could not cause too much trouble in the Black-Corner Region, and there was a risk of his death.

Therefore, Luo Xie often travels between the various strongholds of the Bloodshed Hall to investigate their operation.

Luo Xie should be staying at this stronghold in Dusk City recently.

Yang Shan thought to himself, "Looks like my luck is pretty good!"

If one can be valued by Luo Xie, then entering the Soul Hall will certainly be easier.

"Oh, sir, what would you like to pawn?"

Luo Xie looked ordinary, but he wasn't an old man.

If we were to make a comparison, the Dou Wang expert of the three major families of the Jia Ma Empire all appear to be a generation older than Luo Xie.

It's a pity it's a Purple Word Seal.

NPCs with Golden Word Seal are extremely rare.

Among the top ten on the Black Ranking, only Medicine Emperor Han Feng, ranked third, and Fan Lao, ranked fifth, have Golden Word Seal.

"Pawn a token."

Yang Shan pulled out the sign of the Bloodshed Hall from his sleeve, then put it away again.

The code and the token—if both match, then they're on our side! Luo Xie nodded:

"This is a nice item, sir. Let's go inside and have a proper chat."

Despite being a Dou Emperor, Luo Xie was excessively cautious.

After leading Yang Shan into the Inner Courtyard, Luo Xie asked:

"Should we turn in the quest or accept the quest?"

Yang Shan: "I came here after receiving a mission from Black Seal City, so I'm taking a break."

"I see."

Luo Xie's face remained expressionless; he simply waved his hand.

"Choose any house in this courtyard, and remember to hang up the sign so that your colleagues won't bother you."

Yang Shan: "Thank you."

Even though he knew the other person's identity, Yang Shan would not take the initiative to get close to him.

To interact with an NPC, the NPC has to take the initiative.

Anyway, Luo Xie is temporarily based at this stronghold.

Completing more tasks will surely attract his attention.

Yang Shan has been online for a long time this time and needs to log off and rest.

Staying at an inn in the Black-Corner Region doesn't necessarily guarantee safety.

Players won't be attacked when they log off, but they might be assassinated or have their loot stolen the moment they log back in.

It's still more comfortable in the Bloodshed Hall.

After taking a break offline, I logged back in.

Yang Shan waved as a greeting when he arrived at the Outer Courtyard, and then left.

Luo Xie was completely stunned.

"This kid is truly skilled and daring. In Dusk City, he didn't ask any questions before he decided to carry out an assassination?"

The target of this operation: Fan Jian.

A mere Three-Star Dou Ling, easily slaughtered!

However, Fan Jian's identity is indeed somewhat sensitive.

The cousin of Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect.

Although they were only cousins, Fan Jian was not very old. Although his talent was not as great as Fan Lao, Fan Ling Lao's own son, he was still a figure of some importance.

To kill him, it's best not to be discovered and to wait for the right opportunity.

Yang Shan chose to "scout out" the location first.

As a result, he stepped on it for three days straight! Yang Shan realized that Fan Jian was a real lecherous reincarnation.

Every day at noon, I would leave the Fireworks Pavilion to take care of some things at the Blood Sect, and then head to the Fireworks Pavilion again at six o'clock sharp in the evening.

A one-stop shop for eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping.

Then, the next day at noon, I returned to the Blood Sect to handle some matters. My daily routine was more regular than that of a civil servant in real life!

This means that Fan Jian appears at either the Blood Sect or the Fireworks Pavilion every day.

I always walk on the street at noon and in the evening.

But the streets were packed with people, and countless eyes were watching.

What chance is there for an assassination attempt?

Yang Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, I've now broken through to the Dou Ling, so leveling up won't be a matter of a short time.

Yang Shan patiently followed Fan Jian every day.

Opportunities are reserved for those who wait and are patient.

No rush! On the fifth day, Fan Jian remained the same.

Is his kidney made of iron? Yang Shan did not act rashly.

He would never even consider sneaking into the Fireworks Pavilion in the middle of the night, taking advantage of Fan Jian's exhaustion to kill this young, lecherous scoundrel with a single blow.

The Dusk City is teeming with experts, with Dou Ling gathered together, and even the Blood Sect alone has several Dou Wang.

There are many people Fireworks Pavilion, and if he were to be chased by an NPC at the Dou Wang level, Yang Shan was not confident that he could escape unscathed.

On the sixth day, Yang Shan returned to the street where the Fireworks Pavilion was located.

I found a restaurant nearby and prepared to choose a window seat to continue scouting.

Perhaps the food at this restaurant wasn't very good, or perhaps the prices were too high, because there were hardly any customers even at lunchtime.

Upon reaching the second floor, Yang Shan went straight to the window.

But at this moment, you can see that someone is already standing by the window on the street.

Judging from her clothes and figure, she is clearly a woman.

However, the Black-Corner Region is a place where all sorts of strange and monstrous things exist, so other possibilities cannot be ruled out.

Yang Shan had no interest in who the other person was, so he simply found another window.

However, Yang Shan did glance at the other party out of the corner of his eye.

Well, with the veil on, only a vague outline can be seen.

However, her eyelashes are quite long.

Yang Shan is also wearing a mask now.

Before long, the waiter brought up a pot of wine and some snacks to go with it.

On the other window, there were also wine and snacks.

It's not convenient to eat with outsiders around.

You can't just take the mask off.

Yang Shan silently counted the time in his mind:

"Three, two, one!"

Noon!

Fan Jian arrived on the street on time.

He seemed to be holding back a lot of anger today and needed to vent it, so he walked much faster than in the past few days.

Before he could even reach the entrance of the Fireworks Pavilion, a man dressed in the Blood Sect attire stepped forward, seemingly speaking to Fan Jian.

"Damn it, they got away?"

Fan Jian seemed somewhat angry, and his voice was so loud that Yang Shan could hear it from the second floor.

Afterwards, Fan Jian returned the way he came with the Blood Sect members.

Yang Shan immediately went downstairs and followed.

Yang Shan thought Fan Jian was heading back to the Blood Sect.

But Fan Jian passed by the entrance of the Blood Sect without even glancing at it.

This road leads to the north gate of Dusk City!

Yang Shan was incredibly excited!

Persistence pays off, and we can finally kill this lecherous devil!

Yang Shan secretly followed them.

The Blood Sect disciple beside Fan Jian also seemed to be a Dou Ling level expert; the two even summoned a mount after leaving the city.

To avoid being discovered by Fan Jian, Yang Shan did not summon the Hoof Shadow.

However, the mounts of these two NPCs aren't very good.

It wasn't even as fast as Yang Shan. After all, with a speed of 186, even Tier 2 Elite- level mount could only kneel down and call Yang Shan "big brother".

To run faster than Yang Shan, one would need to be at roughly the level of a third-tier King of Beasts.

The Hoof Shadow is a level above the ordinary King of Beasts, as it carries the word "rare and precious".

No matter what Fan Jian is up to, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Yang Shan decided to take action immediately after Fan Jian left Dusk City was six miles away.

After all, "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills" requires certain prerequisites.

It is virtually impossible to perform a precise Fan Jian instantly.

Unless Fan Jian has recently been harmed by wine and women, and his reactions are too slow, he won't even activate his Dou Qi Armor.

But Yang Shan could not place his hopes on the other party.

We must secure a decisive victory!

We also need to kill Fan Jian's lackey!

As they get further and further away from the Dusk City, Fan Jian's life begins its countdown.

Roughly estimated, we are now about five miles away from Dusk City.

Because the vegetation has become so lush, the Dusk City is no longer visible.

It'll be safer to walk another mile.

Just as Yang Shan was about to make his move, a sudden and shocking change occurred!

Several gusts of blue wind swept through the forest.

Fan Jian and his follower immediately activated their Protective Gang Qi and fled to the left and right respectively.

"Who dares to attack me, young master! Don't you know I am a steward of the Blood Sect?"

Fan Jian steadied himself, condensed his Dou Qi in his palm, and struck at the crown of a large tree in the northwest.

The tree canopy exploded, forcing the assassin in black robes to reveal himself.

Sure enough, the NPCs with Purple Word Seal on their panels are all decent characters.

The fact that Fan Jian could determine the opponent's location in the first place is enough to show that he is a master with considerable practical experience!

However, the assassin was clearly not a simple character.

He was quite Agility, Fan Jian took the initiative to attack, but the assassin completely avoided him.

Yang Shan looked at the assassin's figure and recognized him as the Black-Clothed Man who had been standing by the window on the second floor, just like him.

Yang Shan also detected the other party's level through the system:

Seven Star Great Fighter! Yang Shan was stunned.

If it's an NPC, the exploration function will usually provide a detailed profile of that NPC.

Of course, if the levels differ too much, the panel will not display the information, and the levels may even become relatively blurry.

However, the level of the lettering can definitely be displayed.

Yang Shan probed the Seven Star Great Fighter, even if the other party had some special items to conceal their aura, preventing the system from displaying the panel.

But the most basic markings are definitely there! Yet this assassin doesn't have them! I never expected to encounter a player in the Black-Corner Region in the current version!

Could it be that the other party is a student of the Jia Nan Academy who got separated from the group for some reason on their way to the academy on their flying mount and got lost in the Black-Corner Region? Even so, Yang Shan still chose to remain hidden in the shadows.

No matter what, Fan Jian must die at his hands today! Even if the other party is a player, this kill should still be taken! Yang Shan is not some great philanthropist who would be humble when there is a conflict of interest with others.

This guy will be a member of the Soul Hall in the future!

Hehehe!
