An hour later, Yang Shan, having successfully shaken off the Amethyst Winged Lion King, embarked on his journey to the Black-Corner Region with Su Yitang.

"Boss! Your luck is ridiculously good! Just like the Amethyst Flame Lion Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion dropped its Magic Core, Heart Blood Meat, and even its wings!"

Su Yitang looked at Yang Shan with starry eyes. "Boss, I admire you so much. From now on, when I find a high-level boss, please ask you to finish the job, okay?"

Although Yang Shan knew Su Yitang was acting, he still found her adoring expression quite endearing.

Bosses also need emotional value!

The only regret of this trip is that the follow-up plans could not be carried out.

Yang Shan originally planned to have Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng continue to grind experience points with the Amethyst Lion Tribe.

After all, thousands of elite fifth-tier magical beasts and fifth-tier King of Beasts are indeed hard to find.

However, the fact that the Amethyst Winged Lion King has reappeared suggests that its injuries have likely healed considerably.

With this sixth-tier Thousand Beast King guarding the lair, any attempt by Chao Bafang or Zhu Tianpeng to go there would essentially be certain death.

We can only let them figure out how to upgrade themselves.

Yang Shan: "Give the fifth-tier Thousand Beast King's Magic Core to Old Man Tie Yang. List the Heart Blood Meat and wings on the Auction House and distribute them according to the old rules!"

Su Yitang: "Okay, I'll get it done right away!"

Whenever Su Yitang is involved in an operation, Yang Shan now habitually hands over anything he doesn't need to Su Yitang to handle.

Su Yitang, that little money-grubber, even goes so far as to study the listing floor price, time settings, and the time interval between listings of the same item in the Auction House!

That's not all. Depending on the situation, she would also take the initiative to contact Jin Shankao, this Great God, trying to get him to temporarily buy out the items at a higher price, or directly bundle a bunch of top-tier items! Jin Shankao was naturally happy to spend a little more money to get a large number of items to strengthen the overall strength of the Hero King Manor.

The money comes from the players themselves; most of the items that Jin Shankao charged to players of the Hero King Manor at a normal rate.

Alternatively, you could sign a loan agreement and repay the loan gradually over time.

This way, the guild's strength will be enhanced, and Jin Shankao won't lose any money!

Therefore, Yang Shan was sometimes too lazy to operate on the Auction House for long periods of time, so he would basically just hand things over to Su Yitang and let her handle them.

Su Yitang always prepares a contract in advance to ensure that she does not receive kickbacks.

After the items were sold out, Su Yitang would hand Yang Shan a sales list.

So Yang Shan would often say "Thank you for your hard work" to Su Yitang.

Of course, these three words were written in the transfer remarks.

Sometimes it's five or eight hundred, sometimes it's one or two thousand.

This amount of money shouldn't be much for Su Yitang right now.

But Su Yitang was always happy to receive the transfer.

This made Yang Shan sigh, Su Yitang was becoming more and more like his secretary.

This girl has potential! After returning to the Black-Corner Region, Yang Shan and Su Yitang parted ways.

When it was time to part, Su Yitang was still reluctant to leave:

"Boss, remember to let me know if anything happens, and I'll fly over to help you right away."

"Boss, I'll miss you a little, but only a little."

After Su Yitang left, Yang Shan finally realized. "Damn! Isn't this the high-level technique of a 'green tea sister'—the emotional overload method?"

Yang Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

As the "The Soul Hall’s First Player," Yang Shan's tea-tasting ability is basically at its peak.

But the key point is Su Yitang isn't a green tea b*tch!

Therefore, Yang Shan often overlooks the fact that Su Yitang is not only of good character, but also has a naturally superior Constitution!

What kind of woman is the most deadly?

The most deadly woman is the one who only drinks tea with you!

Su Yitang belongs to this category.

Even the most sophisticated playboy, if he had even a shred of conscience, would only have two outcomes when he met a girl like Su Yitang: either he would find a way to marry Su Yitang and retire from his life of crime!

They either keep their distance from Su Yitang, fearing that they might give up their criminal activities because of Su Yitang.

Yang Shan was in a good mood the whole way from the Gama Holy City to the Black-Corner Region.

Traveling is boring, but with Su Yitang by my side, even boredom becomes enjoyable.

My dear sister!

Su Yitang is going directly to the Jia Nan Academy to register.

She also had an acceptance letter from the Jia Nan Academy.

However, she only held a nominal position and never actually made time for it.

At the Jia Nan Academy, another Fire Energy Hunting Competition will be held soon.

A large number of players will enter the Inner Courtyard at that time.

The Strong Ranking competition will officially begin shortly thereafter.

The top 50 in the Strong Ranking competition will receive certain rewards, and the top 10 will receive even more generous rewards.

With Su Yitang's current strength, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to enter the top ten.

Yang Shan then decided to the Bloodshed Hall.

It's been a long time since I've heard "hehehe".

When Luo Xie left last time, he told him that a big shot from the Soul Hall was coming.

I need to go back and check on the situation.

After all, he is now Dou Wang and can officially become Soul Envoy of the Soul Hall.

However, if you can be valued by important figures, you will naturally receive some preferential treatment in terms of resources.

The important figures in the Soul Hall likely possess items several levels higher than those from the Jia Nan Academy!

After all, the Soul Hall is backed by the Soul Clan, and it has several Dou Sheng (Battle Saints) who are in charge of the Soul Hall.

At the Jia Nan Academy, apart from Dean Mang Tianchi, none of the other top-ranking individuals had broken through to the Dou Zun.

Yang Shan learned from the Bloodshed Hall branch in Black Seal City that the Tower Master, Luo Xie, had gone to Mad Lion City a few days ago.

Fortunately, Yang Shan's speed is now incredibly fast with his Dou Qi Transformation Wings, otherwise it would take him an unknown amount of time to travel.

Before entering Mad Lion City, Yang Shan put Human Skin Mask on his face and then put on the "Unseeable" mask.

"Unseeable" has an absolute isolating effect on those below the Dou Zong, but it may not be effective against Dou Zong experts.

If the other party intends to investigate, the effectiveness of Unseeable will be reduced depending on their strength and the power of their investigation methods.

However, if there were Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning to assist, it would be even more difficult than ascending to heaven for anyone below the Dou Zun to see Yang Shan's true face!

Finding Dou Zun in the Black-Corner Region? That's harder than climbing to the heavens!

It is worth mentioning that a day earlier, Old Man Tie Yang sent him a special black garment.

This black garment was handcrafted by Old Man Tie Yang. It is made of black gold thread, which does not add any attributes, but is extremely tough.

Its effect is similar to that of a duvet cover.

Yang Shan opened the black robe and put it directly over the Flame Refining Garment.

This will change the appearance of the Flame Refining Garment, but its attributes will remain the same.

This way, you won't lose attributes by changing your equipment.

However, we still need to change our weapons.

Even Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning are best kept hidden and not used.

There's no way to change the red light on this thing.

In short, "Cheng E" and "Yang Shan" are two different people, and it doesn't matter if "Cheng E" is weaker! Upon entering Mad Lion City and arriving at the branch of the Bloodshed Hall, Yang Shan met the branch manager.

The shopkeeper immediately stood up and bowed:

"You wicked lord!"

Yang Shan nodded lightly, without uttering a single word!

He is taciturn, loves assassination more than beautiful women, and will grab a handful of paper and a knife to kill someone at the slightest provocation.

This is the character design that Yang Shan created for "Cheng E".

For a shopkeeper at the Dou Ling level to utter even a single meaningless word would be disrespectful to his character!

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I will go and inform the Tower Master immediately!"

A short while later, Luo Xie hurriedly emerged from the hidden door, looked at Yang Shan, and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, Little Brother E brother, I've missed you so much!"

Luo Xie stepped forward and gave Yang Shan a bear hug.

Luo Xie has a high favorability rating of 48 points towards Yang Shan, so Yang Shan thinks that Luo Xie must genuinely care about him.

We want him to come back and take on more orders! After all, the Bloodshed Hall is currently short-handed.

Luo Xie secretly transmitted his voice to Yang Shan:

"You've come at the right time. The two gentlemen have only been here a short while. Come, let me introduce you!"

Two?

Isn't there only one?

Yang Shan was puzzled, but since there was another shopkeeper present who was considered an "outsider," Yang Shan simply nodded.

Luo Xie quickly led Yang Shan into the courtyard behind the hidden door.

"Little Brother E, be careful later, don't anger these two big shots!"

The door to the largest room on the east side of the courtyard, which was originally closed, opened automatically.

Yang Shan saw a young man sitting inside, with his Erlang crossed, eating snacks.

Standing beside him was an old man, who exuded a profound and awe-inspiring aura.

This pressure is stronger than that of Yun Shan! But it is slightly weaker than that of the Great Elder of the Inner Courtyard.

Luo Xie quickly bowed in greeting:

"Your subordinate Luo Xie greets Young Master! Greetings to Protector Liu!"

Yang Shan also followed Luo Xie's example and clasped his hands in a salute:

"Your subordinate, Cheng E, greets Young Master! Greetings, Protector Liu!"

The young man looked at Yang Shan, his crossed Erlang shaking uncontrollably. "Luo Xie, is this Cheng E who received your Soul Envoy Personal Decree's personal Cheng E?"

Luo Xie: "Reporting to Young Master, it is indeed Cheng E is a promising talent I found in the Black-Corner Region. He has a clean background, but he is skilled in combat and kills without blinking an eye."

"Alright, alright!"

The young man interrupted:

"Do Young Master need you to introduce me? Protector Liu, give this kid a try."

Protector Liu stood silently to the side, like a statue.

The young man slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair. "What? Young Master I can't boss you around?"

Protector Liu then said:

"Your subordinate obeys."

But when Protector Liu said this, he neither bowed nor lowered his head.

That's really strange!

Subordinates giving their superiors attitude?

These two are most likely not characters who appeared in the original work, at least not Protector Liu.

Therefore, Yang Shan seized upon every detail and analyzed the specific circumstances of the two individuals.

He had even turned on the recording beforehand so that he could review it later to fill in any gaps.

When Protector Liu said he was making a move, he was really just flicking his finger.

A bolt of Thunder Finger Force was about to strike.

Yang Shan was prepared and activated "Thunder Spirit Flash" the instant Protector Liu flicked his finger! It was also inconvenient to reveal "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", but "Thunder Spirit Flash", as a Profound Tier Low Grade movement technique with Golden Word Seal, could still bring Yang Shan a significant speed boost.

Yang Shan barely managed to evade Finger Strength's attack.

Protector Liu flicked out another Finger Strength without any expression.

It happened right after the duration of "Thunder Spirit Flash" ended.

Yang Shan had already drawn the Blue Word Seal, top-grade Side Blade that he had used to replace the Thunderbolt Blade.

The long-unused Ape King Violet Lightning has once again unleashed its power.

"Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash! "Yang Shan used a "normal attack interspersed" technique that he hadn't used in a long time.

He interspersed normal attacks between the three-stage slashes.

Of the six strikes, four accurately hit the Finger Strength!

Even so, it still couldn't completely neutralize the power of the Finger Strength.

Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Armor, blocking the remaining power of the Finger Strength.

When Protector Liu saw that Yang Shan was still unharmed after his two attacks, he frowned slightly.

He was about to unleash another finger strike, and this one was clearly much more powerful than the previous one!

But at this moment, the young man spoke up:

"Alright!"

Protector Liu was still gathering his Dou Qi.

The young man stood up, his face contorted with anger, and stood before Protector Liu: "I 'Young Master said enough! Are you deaf?"

The young man didn't even turn around, he just waved his hand. "This kid's name is Cheng E. Luo Xie, formally recruit him into the Soul Hall and make him Soul Envoy. All of you, get out! Young Master 'll call you if I need anything!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey!"

Luo Xie didn't dare to linger for a moment and pulled Yang Shan away from the courtyard.

Once they arrived at the cellar where the mission was accepted, Yang Shan asked in a low voice:

"Tower Master, who exactly are those two people?"

Luo Xie poured Yang Shan a cup of tea before saying, "That Young Master is called Hun Dan."

Yang Shan took a sip of tea, then immediately spat it out:

"What's your name?"

Luo Xie: "Hun Dan, the 'dan' in 'Xian Dan and bland'."

Yang Shan coughed twice. "Oh, that's a nice name. And what about Protector Liu?"

Luo Xie shook his head. "I don't know Protector Liu's real name. I only know that Protector Liu was sent by Hun Dan Young Master, the brother of Young Master Hun Xian, to protect him."

Yang Shan: "One is Young Master, and the other is Young Master?"

Luo Xie: "Yes, I didn't expect that the important person who came this time would actually be that Hun Dan Young Master."

Perhaps because Luo Xie had no one else around him who could talk about these things, he explained them to Yang Shan in great detail.

To be honest, this Hun Dan's status is really high.

After all, in the Soul Hall, to have the surname "Soul" means you are a true "Soul Clan member"! "The lineage to which Young Master Hun Dan belongs is considered to have a considerable status within the Soul Clan! Do you know what Hall Master Hun Dan calls our Hun Dan Soul Hall Young Master, Hun Miesheng?"

Luo Xie not only started talking, but he also knew how to keep people in suspense!

Yang Shan suppressed the urge to beat Luo Xie up and asked cooperatively:

"What?"

Luo Xie: "LiezU!"

One's ancestors go back eighteen generations. One's parents gave birth to one, one's father's father is one's grandfather, one's grandfather's father is one's great-grandfather, one's great -LiezU grandfather's father is one's great-great-grandfather, and so on up to the LiezU, the Hun Miesheng- great...

After all, powerful cultivators generally have difficulty conceiving, with a generation potentially lasting only once every hundred or even several hundred years! "In the lineage of the Palace Master, each generation lasts two hundred years, and the youngest is the generation of Young Master Hun Dan. Among his peers, the most talented is Young Master Hun Dan Young Master's half-brother, Hun Xian! He is only twenty-five years old and has already reached the Dou Zong Peak, which is why he was appointed as the Young Master!"

Luo Xie sighed, rubbing his forehead, "Cheng E, you understand, the stronger the force, the more resources it has, but the more intense the competition for those resources becomes. The Soul Clan is not only complicated by its factions, but even blood brothers and sisters of the same lineage will fight each other openly and secretly!"

Yang Shan thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Tower Master, you previously said that the Soul Clan was mysterious and unpredictable. You're just Soul Envoy of the Soul Hall, how could you..."

"Hey-hey"

Luo Xie's laughter was somewhat pathetic:

"My ancestors were also members of the Soul Clan, but unfortunately, I can't even bear the surname Soul now."
