"Unseeable" was naturally something he couldn't bring up in front of Xiao Xun'er, since the young lady of the Ancient Clan shouldn't have any good feelings towards the Soul Hall.

Ordinary methods of concealment cannot hide from Dou Wang. Yang Shan directly shows his true face, so his Yang Shan level cannot be hidden either.

But Fan Ling really couldn't understand it.

Where did a One Star Dou Wang get the audacity to rob him? Fan Ling enjoys the best resources of the Blood Sect and is a "genius" himself. He has now successfully broken through from Dou Ling to Dou Wang.

Both were One Star Dou Wang, Fan Ling didn't think he would lose to Yang Shan.

Moreover, Fan Ling also has the Blood Sect's elite troops behind him.

This included three elders at the Dou Wang level! Nearly twenty Dou Ling! Fan Ling asked himself honestly, if he had encountered such a lineup, he would have run away long ago.

Still dare to challenge me? This guy is even more arrogant than me! Anyone who can reach the level of Dou Wang can't be a fool.

Something unusual must be going on! Therefore, Fan Ling did not act rashly.

There must be an ambush lurking in the shadows! Fan Ling said coldly, "Friends in the shadows, why not show yourselves? Why bother with all this hiding?"

But there was no movement around.

Only Yang Shan seemed poised to take action.

"Really just one person?"

Fan Ling still didn't believe it, so he ordered:

"Elder Yan, go and test this kid's skills!"

Among the three Dou Wang beside Fan Ling, Elder Yan ranked second in strength, reaching the level of Five-Star Dou Wang.

Fan Ling was indeed cautious. He was afraid that there might be assassins around who used special methods to conceal their presence, waiting to attack Yang Shan from the shadows.

At that time, the three Dou Wang elders beside him might not be able to return to defend immediately.

The elder's death doesn't matter; he's the future Blood Sect Master! Just as Elder Yan approached, Yang Shan heard Xiao Xun'er's reminder:

"Junior, those people are only two miles away!"

Yang Shan, that Old Schemer, if he's going to play the double-crossing game, how could he just openly block their way without any strategy? On the way to chase Fan Ling, Xiao Xun'er told Yang Shan that she sensed several groups of people chasing them from behind.

Among them were even eight-star or Nine-Star Dou Wang! They were definitely people from the other major forces at the auction!

However, Yang Shan had already purchased rough stones at the auction, which was far from enough to warrant such a large-scale mobilization from these powerful forces.

So those powerful forces must all be after the Blood Sect! Who told Fan Ling to be so arrogant and domineering, and to buy so many good things at the auction?

Especially "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".

Apart from the Break Sect Pill, this movement technique was the most valuable item at the entire auction.

Within Sky Yin City, one must give face to Yin Gu Lao, a powerful figure on the Black Ranking.

But once you leave Sky Yin City, who the hell cares about you, the young master of the Blood Sect?

We must rob what we should rob, and we must kill what we should kill!

Therefore, Yang Shan's early interception of Fan Ling was simply to buy time for other forces.

Otherwise, if Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er were to unleash their power together and kill Fan Ling, they would immediately face a joint attack from other forces, which would be a thankless and arduous task.

It's better to let them fight it out and then reap the benefits.

Yang Shan Shanke still remembered that the Six-Star Dou Wang with the wood attribute in the Black Skull Tomb happened to have the Wind Harp that Su Yitang wanted! It's still sweet to live off a woman. As a future God Grade Bloodline, Xiao Xun'er's abilities in all aspects are on a completely different level from those of others in the same realm.

Even Yang Shan as strong as Yang Shan would likely be utterly defeated if he were to fight Xiao Xun'er, even without Xiao Xun'er using the Golden Emperor Burning Flame.

The Five-Colored Word Seal panel requires all attributes to exceed the passing score for the Five-Colored Word Seal! And Xiao Xun'er's attributes are very likely to exceed the passing score by a large margin!

Elder Yan has already launched an attack. Yang Shan drew his Thunderbolt Blade and unleashed the power of the Tyrant Blade.

The palm strikes the blade, triggering a parry.

On the contrary, Elder Yan lost 722 points of health!

It should be noted that Elder Yan is at least Five-Star Dou Wang, and his attack power is even slightly higher than Yang Shan's.

Moreover, that palm strike just now was clearly powered by Dou Technique.

But it was Elder Yan who suffered the loss! Elder Yan himself was somewhat surprised.

Elder Yan was a seasoned veteran of the Black-Corner Region, and he naturally understood the risks and benefits of Fan Ling's decision to deal with Yang Shan single-handedly.

Therefore, Elder Yan was always on guard against the hidden ambush and only exerted seven-tenths of his strength.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Elder Yan can unleash his full power at any time, thus finding an opportunity to leave.

But Elder Yan couldn't understand why, even if he only used seven-tenths of his strength, he shouldn't be suppressed like this by a One Star Dou Wang! Since that's the case, Elder Yan can't hold back anymore.

If Fan Ling discovers that he deliberately let him win, he will likely face some punishment back in the sect.

Elder Yan's aura suddenly erupted, and he threatened, "Boy, if you retreat now, I won't bother with you. But if you try to stop me again, I'll take your life!"

Yang Shan raised his knife, looking fearless. "Come on! You old fool, give me a try. I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

Elder Yan's face darkened. He was about to teach this fearless young man a lesson, but he stopped after taking only two steps forward.

Fan Ling's angry and alarmed voice came from behind:

Elder Yan! Come back and protect me!

Behind them, more than ten Dou Wang expert with wings of light emanating from their backs flew over.

Two hundred Dou Ling cultivators, all rushing across the ground! They represent the Mad Lion Gang, the Earth Flame Sect, the Eight Gates, and the Black Skull Tomb.

The four major powers actually chose to join forces! In an instant, the forces of the four powers had formed an encirclement.

Fan Ling gritted his teeth:

"You old fogies, you really have some nerve!"

The Seven-Star Dou Wang, leading the Earth Flame Sect, smiled sinisterly, "Fan Ling, you should know that in the Black-Corner Region, arrogance comes at a price!"

Six-Star Dou Wang with wood attribute from the Black Skull Tomb shouted, "Fan Ling, you brat, hand over everything in your Storage Ring, and I'll let you leave."

With the four forces joining forces, even if Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect, wanted to pursue the matter afterward, it would be impossible for him to become an enemy of the four forces.

But Fan Ling was Fan Lao's only son.

If Fan Ling dies at their hands, Fan Lao will likely stop at nothing to disturb the peace of all four factions.

Therefore, the four forces had already agreed to join forces.

Fan Ling must not be killed.

Just steal the Storage Ring!

The two Dou Wang who were talking to Fan Ling naturally noticed Yang Shan as well.

Yang Shan quickly sheathed his sword:

"Seniors, I have some personal grudges against this Fan Ling, but I am not blind. Please continue, please continue. I will take my leave now!"

Yang Shan appeared panicked, as if he might die if he walked too slowly, and even nearly crashed into a tree when he activated his Dou Qi Transformation Wings to take off.

The Seven-Star Dou Wang of the Earth Flame Sect sneered, "One Star Dou Wang coming to find Fan Ling all by himself, what a fool."

The Six-Star Dou Wang of the Black Skull Tomb said impatiently, "Fan Ling, you brat! Hand over your Storage Ring, and I'll spare your life. If you hesitate any longer, I won't mind tasting your flesh!"

As she spoke, the elderly woman, who clearly looked to be quite old, excitedly licked her lips.

Fan Ling got goosebumps all over. "You old hag, if Young Master don't kill you, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares in the middle of the night!"

Six-Star Dou Wang Granny: "Kill me? You think you can?"

The Dou Wang of the Mad Lion Gang could no longer contain himself:

"Stop arguing with him, just take it by force! Make it clear beforehand that whoever breaks the rules will be attacked by the other three. After it's done, we'll divide the spoils slowly!"

Immediately, the four major forces and more than ten Dou Wang attacked Fan Ling together.

Fan Ling only had three elders at the Dou Wang level by his side, putting him at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But a sinister smile suddenly flashed across Fan Ling's panicked face.

The old woman from the Black Skull Tomb, who happened to witness this scene, immediately sensed something was wrong.

Then Fan Ling shouted, "Father!"

The word Fan Ling shouted seemed even more terrifying than the name of a low-level Dou Technique.

More than ten Dou Wang immediately stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky.

Those blood-red Dou Qi Light Wings were too eye-catching! "Fan Lao!"

"Why would this old man come here? Isn't he afraid of his enemies coming to harass him instead of guarding the Blood Sect?"

In the Black-Corner Region, Dou Zong Battle Masters) live in seclusion, while Dou Emperor) are the top combat forces.

Therefore, many top-tier forces only have one Dou Huang expert in charge.

In addition, the Black-Corner Region is too chaotic, so the Dou Huang expert of the major forces rarely leave their respective forces.

Because if you leave and are discovered by your enemies, the consequences will be quite serious!

But they didn't expect that Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect, would actually come in person.

Meanwhile, Yang Shan, who was already far from the battlefield, had taken Fifth Grade Aura Concealing Pill and arrived at the place where Xiao Xun'er was hiding.

"Senior, didn't you sense that Fan Lao is coming?"

Xiao Xun'er: "I sensed it."

Yang Shan: "Hiss, you didn't tell me. If I had left a little later, it would have been troublesome."

Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment and replied:

"At first I wasn't sure if that Dou Emperor was related to Fan Ling."

Yang Shan discovered that Xiao Xun'er had a minor quirk.

That is, she is not very good at lying, so she needs to think for a moment before lying, which makes her answer a little slower.

Xiao Xun'er was indeed lying.

She had sensed Fan Lao long ago, and judging from the speed at which Fan Lao's flight path converged, it was clear that Fan Lao was heading straight for Fan Ling.

Xiao Xun'er didn't tell Yang Shan, mainly because she didn't care much about Fan Lao.

Putting aside Xiao Xun'er's own abilities, the protector Ling Ying, whom the Ancient Clan sent to protect Xiao Xun'er, was an Eight Star Dou Huang cultivated the dark attribute!

Fan Lao was merely Four Star Dou Huang, and couldn't cause any trouble at all.

Therefore, Xiao Xun'er was actually discussing with Ling Ying whether Ling Ying should take action in advance to stop Fan Lao, or let Fan Lao go to support Fan Ling.

Xiao Xun'er ultimately decided not to interfere for the time being.

Unless absolutely necessary, Xiao Xun'er didn't want Yang Shan to know her true identity.

With an Eight Star Dou Huang protecting him, Yang Shan wasn't stupid; he was bound to be able to guess some clues.

Xiao Xun'er still hoped to communicate with Yang Shan and others.

Of course, Xiao Xun'er was also very interested in Yang Shan.

So for a moment, she wondered what Yang Shan would do and how he would escape when he encountered Fan Lao.

Unfortunately, Fan Lao and Yang Shan missed their chance.

But Yang Shan has no regrets! Good, good, good! Fan Lao, is that right?

When we're playing the game of "the mantis stalks the cicada from behind" with Xiao Xun'er, we'll let Fan Lao experience the power of Old Master Ling Ying!

Xiao Xun'er thought Yang Shan knew nothing.

In fact, Yang Shan knew everything!

This is the biggest advantage players have over NPCs, aside from unlimited respawns!

The moment Fan Lao appeared, Yang Shan had already taken Ling Ying into account! As long as Ling Ying could make a move and severely injure Fan Lao, Yang Shan could then jump out and shout, "Old Master Ling Ying, please spare his life! I have an irreconcilable hatred for this Fan Lao, please let me finish him off!"

The loot dropped by a Dou Huang expert, and you can even choose it! Even if you don't use it, it'll definitely make those whale players bleed a lot of money!

Even if I don't want to sell a villa, I'd definitely sell a large single-level apartment!

Yang Shan took out a telescope from his Storage Ring to observe the situation.

Xiao Xun'er also took out the "Peeping Tube" from her Storage Ring.

"Peeping Tube" is actually the ancient name for a telescope.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the Peeping Tube is a special product of weapon crafting, but it is relatively difficult to craft and can generally only be possessed by powerful forces.

Explosions echoed continuously from the battlefield.

The higher the skill level, the greater the gap; this rule can be clearly reflected in the game's numerical values.

Of course, even Dou Wang is not powerless against Dou Emperor.

After all, in the fundamental sense, both Dou Wang and Dou Emperor use Dou Qi Transformation Wings.

Therefore, even a high- Dou Wang is not entirely powerless when facing Dou Emperor.

Of course, in most cases, they can only retaliate slightly.

In the original work, even a special being as powerful as Zi Yan, whose true form is the Ancient Void Dragon, could only hold off Fan Lao for a short while when she was a low- Dou Wang.

However, if there are more than a dozen Dou Wang together, even Dou Huang expert would have a headache.

Of course, the advantage still lies in Fan Lao.

After all, he was a Four Star Dou Huang who had been fighting in the Black-Corner Region for many years. Compared to a powerhouse who had just entered the Dou Emperor level, Fan Lao's stats were much higher.

Moreover, the Blood Devouring Scripture that Fan Lao cultivates is Earth Rank Low-Level Technique! Unless Dou Wang has Golden Word Seal or a special identity like Fan Ling, it is impossible for them to have Earth Rank Technique.

The Blood Attribute Dou Qi cultivated by the Blood Devouring Scripture can not only greatly enhance the cultivator's various abilities, but the Dou Qi also has a certain corrosiveness.

The speed boost from those blood-red Dou Qi Light Wings far surpassed that of many Dou Wang.

This meant that no one present could launch an attack against Fan Lao; they could only defend passively.

Fan Lao unleashed three consecutive bloody palm strikes, shattering the Dou Qi Dou Qi Armor of a Dou Wang from the Mad Lion Mad Lion Gang. Fear finally appeared on the Dou Wang's face.

"Sect Leader Fan, I was coerced into getting involved in this matter by the other three families. I will immediately lead the Mad Lion Gang to retreat. I beg Sect Leader Fan to show mercy!"

Fan Lao grinned maliciously:

"Have mercy? When you were about to kill my son, did you ever think about having mercy?"

The Mad Lion Gang's Dou Wang explained:

"We only wanted to steal the items; we had no intention of harming your Young Master!"

Fan Lao: "Very well, I am not an unreasonable person. All of you, leave behind everything you have, and I may spare your lives. How about it?"

"Black Lion, what's wrong with your brain? If this old bastard lets us escape, wouldn't that mean we four major powers will unite to besiege the Blood Sect? He won't hold back!"

Fan Lao glanced at the Eight Gates elder who had spoken up. "You seem to understand things quite well. None of you can escape today! Or, you can open your souls and let this sect master plant Soul Imprint on you."

Soul Strength will slowly increase as strength increases.

Upon reaching the level of Dou Wang, one's soul has already acquired a certain strength, thus gaining some rudimentary methods of soul manipulation.

However, the soul is inherently fragile. If one releases the soul and allows another to plant Soul Imprint in the most vulnerable part of the soul, then the other party only needs a single thought to detonate the imprint, which can cause immense damage to the soul.

Once the Soul Imprint, one is essentially at the mercy of others.

This is not some kind of "joining the Blood Sect".

Fan Lao wants these Dou Wang to be his dogs! "I'd rather die than let you have your way!"

Enraged, the Fighting Dou Wang Elder of the Mad Lion Gang charged directly at Fan Ling!

At this moment, Fan Ling was slaughtering those Dou Ling who were much weaker than him.

The elder of the Mad Lion Gang was Seven-Star Dou Wang, and Fan Ling couldn't afford to offend him.

Fan Ling panicked:

"Father!"

"My son, do not be afraid!"

Fan Lao spread his crimson wings, unleashing his maximum speed, and protected Fan Ling before the Mad Lion Gang elders could get close.

The other Dou Wang around also gathered around.

The matter is unlikely to be resolved amicably today.

The only way to escape now is to capture Fan Ling as a hostage!

Fan Lao also saw through the plans of these Dou Wang.

He could actually have left directly with Fan Ling and the rest of the Blood Sect.

However, Fan Lao had to worry about the combined pressure from the four major powers afterward.

Therefore, the best solution is to get rid of all these people in front of us.

This is troublesome for Fan Lao, but it's only a matter of time.

After all, there were still quite a few Blood Sect members present, and the three Dou Wang elders could also provide considerable assistance.

"Ling'er, you should leave first, so that your father can act without any worries."

Fan Ling actually wanted to stay and watch his father wreak havoc, but he also knew that he was now the target of these Dou Wang.

"Father, be careful, I'll be waiting for you to come back at the Blood Sect!"

"Yes, don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

Fan Ling activated his Dou Qi Light Wings and flew towards the Blood Sect.

Fan Ling's departure caused an uproar among the Dou Wang of the four major forces.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

"Fan Ling, you brat, stay here with me!"

Many of the Dou Wang wanted to pursue, but Fan Lao's face was also filled with a cold and sinister expression.

Fan Lao formed three hand seals, and the Dou Qi Light Wings on his back exploded with a roar, forming a blood mist that instantly spread out.

"Watch out! This is Fan Lao's unique Dou Technique, Blood Devouring Mist!"

"If we all come together and work together, there is still a glimmer of hope!"

Fan Lao loudly:

" Within the Blood Devouring Mist, my combat power has greatly increased. How can you, a group of Dou Wang, contend with me?"

Meanwhile, Fan Ling, who was flying straight towards the Blood Sect, was intercepted by a bolt of purple lightning.

It's you again!

Fan Ling was furious when he saw Yang Shan:

"You son of a Young Master, I haven't even bothered you yet, and you've already walked right into my trap! Young Master well! I'll show you that even though we're both One Star Dou Wang, the difference between us is like a chasm!"

Just as Fan Ling finished speaking, Xiao Xun'er appeared behind him.

Fan Ling wasn't surprised at all. He even cracked his knuckles, making a show of his skills. "Looks like you're not too stupid after all. You brought helpers, and they're also One Star Dou Wang? Hmph. I'll Young Master kill them without hesitation! Oh, you must be a woman, right? Your eyes are quite pretty. Come on, take off your mask and let Young Master see if you're beautiful or not."

Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly, and as she raised her hand, golden light suddenly flared up.

The golden Palm Force instantly imprinted on Fan Ling's back.

They slammed him directly from the air to the ground.

Yang Shan was dumbfounded.

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior, stop looking, kill him first."

Having flirted with Xiao Xun'er twice, Fan Ling has gone too far down the path to his doom, beyond any turning back.

Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er landed together.

Seeing Fan Ling's miserable state, Yang Shan could only sigh inwardly: Truly worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Ancient Clan! With a single palm strike, Fan Ling began coughing up blood!

"You."

Fan Ling subconsciously took a few steps back. "Wait, we have no grudges against each other, we can talk things over, right? You want the Three Thousand Thunder Movement? I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"

Faced with one's own life, worldly possessions like Earth-rank Dou Technique are naturally something that can be discarded.

Yang Shan looked at Xiao Xun'er.

Since this is a joint operation, we naturally need to ask our "teammates'" opinions.

Although Yang Shan knew exactly what Xiao Xun'er would do, the proper procedures still had to be followed.

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior, you don't need to look at me, you should understand."

"Understood!"

Yang Shan nodded, stepped forward, and looked at Fan Ling looked nervous. "I still prefer your unruly attitude from earlier. Try to calm down."
