The Ghoul Lord Token Lit Up, but Yang Shan's Heart Went Cold

Twenty days into the game, Yang Shan walked on the south street of Rakshasa City.

"Come on, grandpa, come and play!"

"Oh, Young Master master, you are quite handsome. How about I serve you?"

"Sir, it's been so long since you've come!"

Rakshasa City is the territory of the Rakshasa Gate, and Su Mei, the sect leader of the Rakshasa Gate, is the only woman among the top ten on the Black Ranking. She is a femme fatale.

Rakshasa City can be considered the most prosperous city in the "Fireworks Pavilion industry" of the Black-Corner Region.

Along both sides of South Street, there's a kiln every three steps and a brothel every five steps.

Countless alluring women openly stood at the door, inviting guests.

But at this moment, Yang Shan, that old lecher, had absolutely no interest in it.

After leaving Skull City, Yang Shan went to Sky Yin City, Earth Flame City, Lion City, and Thousand Speck City in succession.

Yang Shan spent a long time exploring each city.

The Ghoul Lord Token still showed no reaction.

Now we've arrived at Rakshasa City.

In addition to Black Seal City and Dusk City, which he visited during his last trip to the Black-Corner Region, he has "checked in" on all the cities controlled by the top ten on the Black Ranking, except for Maple City, Medicine Emperor Han Feng.

Without the Ghoul Lord Token, the opportunity for the Strange Thunder has stalled, which is indeed a major headache for Yang Shan.

Just then, Yang Shan felt someone grab his arm.

Judging from the soft, elastic feel of her arm, the woman who approached her must possess a "human weapon"! "Master, we all come to Rakshasa City for fun. I've seen you walking around, but I'm afraid you haven't found anyone you like. Why don't you let me give you a try?"

Yang Shan turned his head to look.

Wow! What a powerful evil! "Forget it, if I can't find it, I'll try Maple City. But before I leave, I should treat myself. I didn't really get to experience Rakshasa City in my last life, so this time I should experience the local culture and customs!"

With that in mind, Yang Shan decided to go with the maid to spend some money.

[Ding! Players, please note that the Ghoul Lord Token has reacted!]

Yang Shan immediately opened his Storage Ring space.

"Sir, you can just say whether it's a deal or not. Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. It's not a good idea to keep me waiting like an idiot, is it?"

Considering the maid's tone was acceptable, Yang Shan tossed her a bag of Spirit Stone: "Your health is alright, so I can't let you get away with this for nothing. I have some other things to attend to."

The maid received the Spirit Stone, smiled, bowed to Yang Shan, and boldly displayed Yang Shan wickedness, which her collar could not conceal:

"Master, please go ahead and take care of your business. Once you've finished, you can come find me. I'm in the Gathering Fragrances Brothel next door."

Yang Shan gave a very plausible answer:

"I'll definitely do it next time!"

Inside Yang Shan's Guardian Ring, the Ghoul Lord Token was emitting a faint light.

It's lit up!

This is like the malfunctioning Ghoul Lord Token finally lighting up!

Yang Shan tucked his right hand into his wide sleeve, a thought forming in his mind.

Acquired the Ghoul Lord Token.

In the darkness, Yang Shan sensed the location of the other half of the Ghoul Lord Token.

Right at the end of this main street! The south gate of the Rakshasa Gate!

Yang Shan walked quickly toward the south gate.

"Very well, I'd like to see who this person is that has kept me searching for so long!"

Yang Shan's face, hidden behind a black mask, was already filled with murderous intent.

Upon arriving at the South Gate, the Ghoul Lord Token in his hand began to heat up.

This confirmed to Yang Shan that the other half of the Ghoul Lord Token was indeed here.

Moreover, they should be entering the city gates soon! If nothing unexpected happens, the other party should have already noticed the strangeness of the Ghoul Lord Token's Token.

But Yang Shan wasn't too worried.

He swallowed a Fourth Grade Aura Concealing Pill, stuck himself behind the wall of a house, took out his binoculars, and secretly observed the situation.

He only needs to know what the other person looks like to roughly judge their strength.

If it's Dou Ling, just kill him as soon as you leave the city!

If it's Dou Wang Battle King), call on Su Yitang, then Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng, and gang up on him until he's dead! If it's Dou Emperor), then go back and farm points, then close the gate and release Luo Xie! With the other half of the Ghoul Lord Token, that person already has a way to die!

A short while later, several young people dressed in matching white outfits walked in through the city gate.

Yang Shan thought to himself:

"Jia Nan Academy's Outer Courtyard uniform? Tsk, looks like I don't need to find any help, I can make it myself!"

There were about twenty students from the Outer Courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy who entered through the city gate.

After entering the city, they almost instinctively looked back.

In the original story of Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens, the main female characters each have a distinct temperament.

Medusa Queen is aloof and elegant, Ya Fei is charming and alluring, Yun Yun is graceful and noble, Nalan Yanran can barely be considered arrogant.

However, there is one female character who has the temperament of a fairy descended to earth, yet also possesses the quiet gentleness of a well-bred lady, and most of the time maintains a reserved and demure smile.

This female character is one of the heroines who appears from the very first chapter of the original work:

Xiao Xun'er! Although Xiao Yan is not in the game, and the Xiao Family is not the same as the Xiao Family in the original novel, Xiao Xun'er did not grow up in the Xiao Family when she was young.

However, until later versions, before Xiao Xun'er appeared under her real name "Gu Xun'er" in the expansion pack, she always used the pseudonym "Xiao Xun'er".

The reason Yang Shan resorted to profanity at the end was because he saw Xiao Xun'er! What's even more outrageous is that Yang Shan clearly saw Xiao Xun'er's gaze shift towards him the moment she entered the city.

If it were anyone else, Yang Shan could have considered it a coincidence.

But if it were Xiao Xun'er, Yang Shan was certain that he had been discovered!

The reason is simple: Xiao Xun'er is the biological daughter of Gu Yuan, the Ancient Clan Chief among the Ancient Eight Clans!

The only "God Grade Bloodline" in the Ancient Clan for thousands of years! Xiao Xun'er's combat strength can no longer be measured by level alone.

To put it bluntly, in the original story, until the very end, Xiao Xun'er, who possessed the best resources of the Ancient Clan, was truly invincible among her peers and could easily surpass those of higher levels!

Even more outrageous than Xiao Yan! Not to mention, the Ancient Clan also sent down an Eight Star Dou Huang "Ling Ying" to secretly protect Xiao Xun'er at all times.

Although this Eight Star Dou Huang wouldn't even qualify as a gatekeeper in the Ancient Clan.

However, in the game's background, Gu Yuan, the Ancient Clan Chief, sent Xiao Xun'er to Central Plains Northwest Continent to train so that his own daughter could be tempered and her bloodline could be gradually stimulated until it was perfect.

Therefore, Eight Star Dou Huang is almost enough.

After all, with version updates, this "Ling Ying" will gradually break free from the shackles of the Dou Zong.

Ling Ying uses the "dark attribute"!

This attribute is quite rare; one needs a high level of Water Attribute and a certain amount of Earth Attribute spiritual root to cultivate it. (In the Five Elements theory, water is black and metal is white. The spiritual root design in the sky doesn't include light and darkness, so it's also explained as "mutated Dou Di Dou Qi." Please don't take it too seriously, it's just a simple setting and certainly can't withstand too much rigorous scrutiny.) Don't be fooled by how well Yang Shan is hiding it now.

Xiao Xun'er has already discovered him, so what about the Dou Emperor Ling Ying hiding in the shadows?

Could they already be laughing silently behind his back? Yang Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

He would rather the Ghoul Lord Token Ghoul Lord Token be in the hands of Medicine Emperor Han Feng than have it in Xiao Xun'er's possession.

Han Feng can simply wait until a few versions later and then figure out a way to kill him.

But who can kill Xiao Xun'er?

If Xiao Xun'er is pushed too far, a single cry of "Father, come here!" from Gu Yuan, one of the strongest figures in the Dou Qi Continent, would likely tear through space and show her the fury of a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint!

Yang Shan's brain was working at lightning speed, his brain cells were being used up like crazy, and even the top-of-the-line Game Pod detected that Yang Shan's state was not right and gave him a warning!

However, Yang Shan, that Old Schemer, is indeed very clever.

As the Game Pod countdown ended and Yang Shan was about to force himself out of the game, he came up with a plan.

He bravely emerged from behind the wall.

He even jogged towards Xiao Xun'er.

Other students from the Jia Nan Academy also noticed Yang Shan, a stranger who was covered in a black robe and wore a black mask, revealing only his eyes.

Of course, many people in the Black-Corner Region dress like this.

So they didn't really take it too seriously.

Yang Shan ran up to Xiao Xun'er, ripped off his mask, and flashed an innocent smile.

"Hello, are you a senior from the Jia Nan Academy?"

Xiao Xun'er was also a little bewildered by Yang Shan.

She originally thought that the other half of the mysterious token in her hand should belong to a vicious villain from the Black-Corner Region.

After all, Yang Shan had been sneaking around behind the wall spying earlier, and he didn't seem like a good person at all.

But the title "senior sister" isn't something anyone can just call.

"I thought that thing was in the hands of some vicious villains in the Black-Corner Region. How could I possibly make a move now?"

Yang Shan not only didn't give Xiao Xun'er a chance to speak, but also said that he and Xiao Xun'er had the same "misunderstanding" about each other!

Yang Shan took out a golden invitation card from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Xun'er: "Let me introduce myself, Yang Shan, a new student in this year's class."

Yang Shan silently thanked Ruo Lin, the mentor who used to be in charge of admissions.

If it weren't for her, how could Yang Shan have obtained this recruitment post to prove his identity?

In fact, Yang Shan was constantly using the detection function to check on other trainees while running.

Most of them are players! Apart from Xiao Xun'er, there are only three NPC students at the Da Dou Shi level.

Therefore, Yang Shan immediately understood.

Xiao Xun'er is probably leading a team to escort these players to the Jia Nan Academy for enrollment!

After Yang Shan introduced himself, the players immediately started discussing. "Holy crap! Yang Shan? That name sounds familiar!"

"Damn, it must be someone with the same name, right?"

"Could it be such a coincidence that we've run into the number one player in Battle Through the Heavens? Should we go closer and take a look?"

Among the players, a female player who was rather flat-chested but quite pretty excitedly approached Yang Shan:

Wow! Great God Yang! It really is you! It's fate that brought us together from afar, isn't it?

Looking at the pretty young woman who seemed vaguely familiar, but whom he couldn't quite place, Yang Shan chuckled awkwardly, "Uh, you are..."

The female player got anxious:

"Me, Mei Yangyang!"

"Oh, it's you. I remember now, you've come to the Jia Nan Academy too?"

Mei Yangyang smiled broadly:

"Yes, I'm here to woo Lin Xiuya!"

"Then good luck."

Yang Shan didn't want to talk to Mei Yangyang too much.

We need to deal with Xiao Xun'er's matter first!

Xiao Xun'er looked at Yang Shan's face, then checked the booklet again, and softly called out:

"Mei Yangyang."

Mei Yangyang was still chattering away when she heard Xiao Xun'er call her, at which point she stopped.

"Hey! Xun'er, what's wrong?"

Xiao Xun'er: "You two know each other?"

Mei Yangyang nodded repeatedly. "We know each other! We both got our admission through the Cloud Frost City recruitment competition. Yang Great God... oh, Yang Shan, he was the first place winner in the competition!"

Xiao Xun'er nodded and smiled slightly at Yang Shan: "Hello, junior brother Yang Shan."

Yang Shan: "Senior, are you escorting the other students to the Jia Nan Academy?"

Xiao Xun'er: "Yes."

Yang Shan: "Why don't I join too? I have some questions I want to ask my senior."

The other three NPC students are all senior students from the Outer Courtyard, and all of them are male.

Seeing Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er say so much, they were all burning with anger.

These younger students really have no sense of propriety at all!

How dare she get so close to the most beautiful girl in their Outer Courtyard!

If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll never know which way is up! But just as the three senior NPCs were exchanging glances and approaching step by step, Yang Shan patted his chest. "Don't worry, senior sister, I'm at least Four-Star Dou Ling, I won't hold you back!"

The three senior students shrank back and immediately turned to look at the sky.

Damn it! Jia Nan Academy is really tough to get into; every year the new students are more competitive than the last!

These senior students are still hovering around the Da Dou Shi.

A Four-Star Dou Ling who hasn't even enrolled yet?
