An Exotic Treasure Emerges-Looking Down on Dou Lings, Are You?

With the general objectives of the meeting set, the next step is to discuss the details.

Yang Shan only needs to be a listener.

Although he now holds a high position.

But after all, it's a Dou Ling.

So Yang Shan took a moment to say in the group chat, "I'll give you the coordinates. Hurry up and capture the Nine Star Dou Ling there to submit the quest! Hurry!"

Yang Shan briefly explained the contents of the meeting in the council chamber to the three employees.

Given the efficiency of the Dou Zong, Dou Emperor, and three Dou Wang in the council hall, everything will probably be arranged by tomorrow, and then they'll wait for the Xiao Family family and the players to take the bait.

It's out of the question that she can become Dou Wang). The three Dou Wang are currently gathered together, waiting to ambush and kill Xiao Mei! If she gets a Nine Star Dou Ling) to make up the numbers, she should be able to get those 100,000 contribution points.

Yang Shan has no chance of getting those 100,000 points.

Because he cannot leave the Main Branch of the Azure Cloud Association now, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion.

Of course, as the boss, he provided all the information, so he'd definitely get a share of the reward! After finalizing the profit sharing with the three employees, Yang Shan gave them another reminder: "You guys must remember, don't get involved in that Earth Rank Technique trap. I'll check the situation at the Main Branch later. If the Main Branch is empty, the three of you should try to break in and take everything you can!"

The humble employee Su Yitang immediately Threading the Needle to start flattering him:

"The boss's double-crossing is truly masterful! He's reaping the benefits from both sides!"

Yang Shan:

"That was a great compliment, keep it up! Alright, you guys go and get this done!"

After closing the group chat, Yang Shan clicked on Xiao Aotian's profile picture again. "Boss Xiao!"

About a minute later, Xiao Aotian replied, "Oh, Boss Yang, does this mean I have to repay a favor?"

Yang Shan: "No, you should owe me another favor, a big one at that."

Xiao Aotian: "When you say that, I'm a little scared. It's hard to repay your favor."

Yang Shan: "Today I took Su Yitang to assassinate the Dou Wang of the Azure Cloud Association, but we failed."

Xiao Aotian: "Oh! Even with Boss Yang and Su Meinu's combat power, they couldn't kill him. He must be at least a four- Dou Wang, right?"

Yang Shan: "Before the assassination, Su Yitang and I were lying in the shadows and overheard some news. Xiao Mei had just broken through to the Dou Wang, and her recent performance was too outstanding. The First Leader of the Azure Cloud Association was preparing to personally lead a team to surround and kill Xiao Mei."

About five minutes later, Xiao Aotian replied to the message:

"I've deleted all the posts I made on the forum before challenging you to surpass you! You son of a bitch, Yang One-Blade, I'm truly impressed this time! Awesome!"

Xiao Aotian dreamed of stepping over Yang Shan to rise to the top and become the number one player in Battle Through the Heavens.

Although there haven't been any major conflicts between the two, there have only been two matches where one side won and the other lost.

But Xiao Aotian did indeed consider Yang Shan as a target to surpass.

But now, this target has turned around and done him a great favor.

What do you call that? That's called having a broad perspective!

At this moment, Xiao Aotian felt that Yang Shan's personal charm was so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes! His motivation to surpass Yang Shan was even stronger! Compared to surpassing a famous nouveau riche.

The difficulty of surpassing a well-known entrepreneur, and the sense of accomplishment afterward, are undoubtedly much greater.

Xiao Aotian even added, "Boss Yang, if one day my combat power surpasses yours, I'll let you be number one in the entire server for another month!"

Yang Shan: "Make a different promise."

Xiao Aotian: "Why?"

Yang Shan: "You're dreaming big in broad daylight! You dare to say you'll surpass me? Say something more realistic!"

Xiao Aotian: "Three stars! As long as you don't attack any players or NPCs related to me, I'll do you a favor, up to a maximum of three stars! Valid anytime!"

Yang Shan: "Fine, I've taken screenshots of the chat history. If you go back on your word later, I'll expose you on the forum!"

Xiao Aotian: "I, Xiao Aotian, am going to become a man who surpasses Xiao Yan! I will only be more committed to my promises than Xiao Yan!"

Yang Shan: "Didn't you just say you were going to surpass me?"

Xiao Aotian: "Go ahead! Go ahead!"

Yang Shan: "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

Xiao Aotian: "Okay, I have to go and persuade Xiao Mei to go into hiding, but Xiao Mei might not listen to me. I can only take it one step at a time."

Why did Yang Shan choose to tell Xiao Aotian about this?

The reason is very simple.

Imagine that one day, Ya Fei will face a life-or-death crisis.

However, someone told him about this a few days in advance, giving him more time to resolve the crisis.

That's a huge favor!

Xiao Aotian was a gaming fanatic, but his XP system had some issues.

But if he were to meet Xiao Aotian in real life, this guy would probably still smile and offer him a cigarette, calling him "Brother Yang"! In any case, whether Xiao Mei lives or dies has absolutely no conflict with Yang Shan's interests.

Xiao Aotian hasn't reached his full potential yet! The Fallen Heart Flame of the Jia Nan Academy will most likely still belong to Xiao Aotian.

At that time, his combat power will be ridiculously high.

Replacing a three-star promise with just one sentence—even unscrupulous capitalists would be green with envy at such profits! The Azure Cloud Association Main Branch is incredibly efficient.

Everything was arranged in just one day.

Yang Shan at the Azure Cloud Association and didn't go anywhere else.

He wanted to find the Soul Accumulation Pearl! And he found it!

Once the Soul Refining Grand Formation is stopped, all the souls that were not refined will be completely wasted.

Yang Shan forcibly took away the Soul Accumulation Pearl twice before because of the drawbacks of the Soul Refining Grand Formation.

The Protector Wu was unwilling to accept that the souls he had worked so hard to obtain were not of sufficient value.

Yang Shan is willing!

Since it's free anyway, it doesn't matter how much it is! Yang Shan originally had no intention of taking the Soul Accumulation Pearl from the Main Branch.

However, the plan devised by Yun Shan meant that the defenses within the Main Branch would be relatively weak when it was put into action.

There is always a chance.

As it turned out, Yang Shan had only logged off for a short rest, and when he logged back in, everything had changed! First of all, Yang Shan discovered that the fluctuations of the Soul Accumulation Pearl had disappeared! He quickly went to Lian Qiao to subtly inquire, "First Leader, how many souls are still missing from our Main Branch ' Soul Accumulation Pearl?"

Lian Qiao didn't hide anything and told Yang Shan directly, "It's not bad. The Soul Accumulation Pearl is full. The Yun Shan Sect Master has already put it away and plans to hand over the extra souls he collected to Protector Wu after the Xiao Family's matter is over."

Oh wow!

The Soul Accumulation Pearl Soul Accumulation Pearl gone! Yang Shan couldn't possibly have taken it from Yun Shan.

What happened next was something Yang Shan had never expected.

The Azure Cloud Association had already set up a fake "Dou Emperor Ruins" and was preparing to spread the news.

Unexpectedly, after a heavy rain, a crimson glow suddenly appeared fifty miles away from Wutan City!

A rare treasure has been discovered!

Xiao Aotian also sent a message to Yang Shan.

Xiao Mei had originally planned to lay low for a while, but after seeing the glowing light, Xiao Mei was certain that the treasure in that place was extraordinary!

It is highly likely to be a Yuanqi, which surpasses even a Lingqi! Above the top-grade is a Lingqi, and above a Lingqi is a Yuanqi.

If a spiritual artifact is a treasure that even Dou Huang expert would be willing to pay a great price to obtain, then a Yuan artifact would be something that even Dou Zong powerhouse would flock to! The appearance of a Yuan artifact could indeed trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

If we had a Yuan artifact in hand, how could the Xiao Family not prosper?

Besides, even if Xiao Mei hides away temporarily, what will happen to the Xiao Family? Xiao Mei understands the principle that the monk can run away but the temple can't.

Moving the entire Xiao Family away from Wutan City is also unrealistic.

Because there are too many people and the target is too big, the Azure Cloud Association can choose to intercept them halfway.

Since that's the case, we might as well try to seize the treasure and fight for a chance of survival.

It is said that the artifacts have developed a trace of intelligence, and some artifacts can even choose their own masters.

"Aotian, thank you, but I have to go this time!"

If Xiao Aotian and Xiao Mei's favorability rating reaches 80 points or higher, then Xiao Aotian will definitely be able to change Xiao Mei's decision.

Unfortunately, Xiao Aotian can only try to gather as many helpers as possible now.

Xiao Mei's guess was correct.

The system immediately notified all players within a radius of tens of thousands of miles of the location of the anomaly that a rare treasure had been discovered there! Not to mention Wutan City.

Some eager players had already posted this news on the forum.

Many players who live not too far from Wutan City have already set off, wanting to join in the fun.

At this moment, Yang Shan, along with Yun Shan, Lian Qiao, and the three Dou Wang, arrived at the place where the extraordinary treasure was born.

The Main Branch of the Azure Cloud Association is closer to the location of the extraordinary treasure.

The rain has stopped, and the rosy clouds have dispersed.

However, red light still penetrated the ground in the area where the treasure was located, forming a semi-circular spiritual energy shield with a diameter of about ten zhang.

Yun Shan raised his right hand, his fingers slightly twisted.

He had only just broken through to the Dou Zong.

Only some rudimentary spatial techniques can be used.

Yun Shan pointed his finger, which had gathered a certain amount of Space Power, at the red spiritual energy shield.

Only faint ripples appeared on the red aura shield.

Yun Shan withdrew his hand and said, "Lian Qiao, take everyone from the Main Branch and help our sect stop the Xiao Family family. Afterwards, I will reward you with a Emperor Extreme Pill. How about it?"

Even the most precious artifacts were enough to tempt Yun Shan.

If Lian Qiao uses some secret method to notify Protector Wu, it will be even more difficult for Yun Shan to obtain this artifact.

Lian Qiao hesitated for a moment.

Although he was a subordinate of Protector Wu, the allure of the Emperor Extreme Pill was too great! It could directly raise his level by one star, saving him ten years of arduous cultivation.

Furthermore, it's not that he couldn't find a reason to follow the Protector Wu's explanation.

Seeing Lian Qiao's haggard expression, Yun Shan continued:

"I'll grant you another mid-grade spiritual weapon!"

Lian Qiao: "Okay, but you have to help me deal with Protector Wu."

Yun Shan: "Don't worry, once I get the artifact, I'll have a good talk with Protector Wu and won't let him punish you!"

When Lian Qiao agreed, Yun Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the three Main Branch who were at the Dou Wang level were all his people, so he didn't need to make any promises; he could just give them rewards afterward.

Yang Shan kept asking himself:

"What about me? What about me? Brother Yun Shan, look at me!"

However, Yun Shan didn't even glance at Yang Shan once from beginning to end.

What way could a mere Dou Ling possibly have to contact Protector Wu, who's a thousand miles away? Just give him something to settle things afterward! Yun Shan waved his hand:

"The Xiao Family family should be arriving soon. You must stop them for me! This spiritual energy shield will take some time to form."

What do you mean? Isn't Dou Ling a human?

So you're so self-righteous and entitled to make the "strongest" Dou Ling do all the work for free, right?

In the real world, Yun Shan would definitely be an unscrupulous boss.

So what if you're Dou Zong? You look down on people like that.

That's truly remarkable.

Yang Shan didn't dare utter a single word now, otherwise, if Yun Shan wanted to kill him to silence him, he could slap him to death and lose a star for nothing, which would be a huge loss.

However, given Yang Shan's personality, if Yun Shan dares to do the first thing, wouldn't he dare to do the fifteenth?

Yang Shan immediately sent a message to Xiao Aotian in secret. "Boss Xiao! I've already brought people to scout out the Yibao area. The Azure Cloud Association has completely surrounded the area! I don't dare get too close. Is Xiao Mei still coming over?"

Xiao Aotian: "Yes, she has already gathered the elite of the Xiao Family and is heading towards the direction of the rare treasure."

Yang Shan: "Alright, I'll help you see where the defenses on the Azure Cloud Association's side are weak, and we'll keep in touch."

Xiao Aotian: "Hey, Boss Yang, you really have to thank me so much this time."

"Hey, it's just a game, don't be so dramatic. Let's team up and grind monsters together sometime!"

After closing the chat window, Yang Shan sneered.

You want this rare treasure, huh? I'll disgust you to death! Yang Shan actually had his eye on this rare treasure as well.

But despite his thoughts, the current situation was beyond his ability to handle as a mere Nine Star Dou Ling.

Yun Shan and Lian Qiao, one Dou Zong and the other Dou Emperor, are not only incapable of fighting each other, but even escaping is a pipe dream!

Only by stirring up the waters can one fish in troubled waters.

Although there's a high probability I won't catch any fish, having hope is better than having no hope at all.

Anyway, the point is to make things difficult for Yun Shan! Yang Shan is usually quite generous.

But Yun Shan insisted on bringing out Yang Shan's Old Schemer side.

The Azure Cloud Association's defenses were not particularly complex.

Lian Qiao was stationed in the central government to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

The three Dou Wang were responsible for the southeast, west, and north sides.

Since they simply couldn't spare a fourth Dou Wang, they had no choice but to send Yang Shan, whose overall combat strength was quite formidable, to the north to set up defenses.

The Azure Cloud Association Main Branch mobilized a total of 40,000 people this time!

Yang Shan suddenly became a general commanding an army of ten thousand! But as Yang Shan watched the dense crowd approach like a tsunami, Yang Shan subconsciously swallowed.

The Xiao Family family headquarters actually doesn't have many people.

There are only about four hundred people at most.

However, the number of players who have joined the Xiao Family exceeds one million! And this time, it's not just players from the Xiao Family who are joining in the fun! Players from neighboring cities have also come!

Players from even more distant regions were rushing here at top speed! This delighted Yang Shan.

Good timing!

It's true that Dou Zong is very strong.

But can Dou Zong kill millions of people in one go? He'd be exhausted to death! Yang Shan had already made up his mind to use his abilities as the commander of the north to give orders haphazardly! He was determined to get the player group to break through as soon as possible and cause trouble for Yun Shan! Yang Shan: "North! Xiao Aotian, have Xiao Mei send people to launch a feint attack in other directions, and then break through from the north. I checked, there's no Dou Wang here!"

In cultivation civilizations, high-end combat power generally plays a very important role.

Although Xiao Mei has just broken through to the Dou Wang, she is still Dou Wang! One Star Dou Wang with Golden Word Seal, even Yang Shan might not be able to defeat her! Yang Shan sits in the north, his black robe fluttering, exuding domineering aura.

Below, two Seven-Star Dou Ling respectfully asked, "Mister E, the enemy's army outnumbers ours several times over. How should we deploy our defenses?"

"Do you need to ask me about such a trivial matter? So what if there are many people? They're just a bunch of rabble. You can handle it yourselves."

Yang Shan stood up and spread his hands. "Bring me a knife!"

The two Dou Ling looked at each other, and then one of Dou Ling handed Yang Shan a high-quality longsword with Blue Word Seal on it.

Yang Shan: "How dare you! What use is this piece of junk?"

Despite his words, Yang Shan still put the knife away.

Even a mosquito bite is still meat; as a man, you have to be frugal!

Yang Shan didn't have time to direct things here.

Is there any benefit to being in command?

No benefit! Shouldn't we hurry up and sharpen our knives for experience? Yang Shan switched to his two Tiger Head Broadsword.

This time, he wasn't alone.

There are still ten thousand scapegoats!

Yang Shan seems to be at the forefront.

But in reality, Yang Shan was constantly moving around.

Make sure there are always Azure Cloud Association NPCs standing in front of you and around you!

So what if the opposing player has millions?

Kill my teammates first! Yang Shan himself used these NPCs as cover to harvest experience points from the players.

Nine Star Dou Ling breaks through to Dou Wang, 250,000 experience points!

Yang Shan silently expressed his gratitude to the many players for their contributions.

It was them! Undeterred by powerful enemies, they forged ahead!

It was them! They contributed seven or eight days of their leveling time, pushing Yang Shan's experience bar even higher! While reaping experience, Yang Shan didn't forget to send a message to his three loyal employees. "You three, are you all following Xiao Mei now?"

Su Yitang: "Yes, it's all in place!"

Yang Shan: "Just try to kill more enemies, and try to protect Xiao Mei as much as possible. It would be even better if we could gain some favor with her."

These three loyal employees were specially sent by Yang Shan to help Xiao Aotian, as promised.

Employment fee: 50,000.

Fifty thousand per person.

The price wasn't high, but Yang Shan also offered other conditions, namely, that the three of them get to know Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei was so bold this time, daring to forcefully attack the Azure Cloud Association and seize the rare treasure.

If she succeeds, she will surely achieve great things, and the Xiao Family will experience a truly rapid development.

At that time, the Xiao Family will certainly have plenty of resources.

Even if Xiao Mei disappears from the public eye after the next version,

But who knows, she might have gone to some blessed land to train.

Therefore, establishing a relationship with Xiao Mei would undoubtedly bring many benefits.

Even if Xiao Mei dies in this battle for the rare treasure, it won't matter.

The Soul Accumulation Pearl was taken away, and the Main Branch probably doesn't have much of value left.

So all the three loyal employees can do now is try to get as many kills as possible in this massive battle of millions and make a profit from the loot.

Killing is killing anyway, so staying by Xiao Mei's side might be safer, and I could even get an extra 50,000 in commission.

Yang Shan, this boss, is quite good at finding extra income for his employees.

Millions of players surged like a torrent, relentlessly attacking the Azure Cloud Association's front lines.

In this version, many players have died at the hands of the NPCs in the Azure Cloud Association.

In reality, many people are probably timid and submissive.

But in the game, every player you pick out has a terrible temper.

I've been holding my breath for a whole version of this.

They finally had a chance to attack the Main Branch of the Azure Cloud Association.

So what if we get nothing? "Kill! The scum of the Azure Cloud Association!"

"You were the one who cut me last time, weren't you? Was it you? I don't care if it was you or not, you're dead!"

The noise around Yang Shan was as loud as if he were at a popular tourist attraction during a holiday, where people were packed in.

"Why didn't they get a Flying Dou Technique?"

If he had Flying Dou Technique, Yang Shan could take off directly and then use ranged Dou Technique to reap kills at will.

But then I thought about it again.

Let alone Dou Ling, even if he were Dou Wang now, daring to shit on the heads of millions of players, any ranged Dou Technique these players throw at him would be blasted into bloody dust.

Just then, Yang Shan received a message from Xiao Aotian:

"Boss Yang, Xiao Mei is preparing to launch a surprise attack from the north!"

Yang Shan: "Received. I will have Su Yitang and the others cooperate with you. I am temporarily unable to leave here."

Xiao Aotian: "What exactly are you busy with? Such an important matter and you didn't come? This isn't like you! Something's not right!"

Xiao Aotian suddenly recalled the top trending topic on the forum, "Yang Shan can defeat the Fire Cloud Leopard in seconds".

At that crucial moment, Yang Shan made a move, instantly killing the low-health Fire Cloud Leopard and collecting all its loot. All the players in Cloud Frost City ended up working for him.

Xiao Aotian: "Did you lie in ambush all along, waiting to come out and pick up the scraps at the last minute?"

Yang Shan: "Am I that kind of person?"

Xiao Aotian: "I'm always very good at judging people."

Yang Shan naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Aotian about his joining the Soul Hall.

The only reason I could tell these three loyal employees was because they had signed confidentiality agreements.

Yang Shan used a Thunder Spirit Flash to retreat to the back.

The two Seven-Star Dou Ling were so thirsty from giving orders that their mouths were dry.

Although the Azure Cloud Association Society had significantly more Dou Ling.

However, the difference in the overall number of people is simply too great.

A Dou Ling, facing an attack from hundreds of Da Dou Shi, couldn't even run away!

Not everyone can be like Yang Shan, effortlessly cutting through a crowd seven times.

"Mister E!"

"Mister E, you're finally back!"

"I don't know what kind of spell the Xiao Family has cast on these people. Aren't they afraid of dying? They just keep rushing in."

fear death?

Joke!

Which player is afraid of dying?

In the game world, compared to NPCs, every player is practically cheating! There are only three ways to completely shut down a player:

Forced offline due to internet or power outages, or abnormal health indicators!

Yang Shan didn't have time to argue with these two Dou Ling; he directly gave the order:

"The west and south are under attack by a large number of people. Send reinforcements immediately, and dispatch three thousand men!"

One of the Seven-Star Dou Ling was dumbfounded:

"Mister E, if another three thousand men are transferred, the northern defense line will be on the verge of collapse!"

Millions of players were united in their hatred of the enemy. In just ten minutes of close combat, the Azure Cloud Association's northern defense line had lost four thousand men.

With only 6,000 people left, another 3,000 were sent to support the other two sides.

Is this how you give orders? Yang Shan boasted shamelessly:

"Do you think I would harm you? Do as I say! If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame! Hurry up! If you delay the battle, you will be held accountable even if you die a thousand deaths!"

Yang Shan spoke passionately, but secretly sent screenshots of the two Seven-Star Dou Ling ' appearances to the group chat:

"Kill those two!"

So what if the north fell? There are millions of people on the other side, so it's no wonder it fell!

The fall was swift because those two Seven-Star Dou Ling insisted on ordering reinforcements, and I, Mister E, took the lead and fought bravely on the front lines!

With no witnesses left, who can say he's not right? This is the caution a seasoned Old Schemer should have!
