Under Yue Mei's arrangement, Yang Shan became the "helper" she specially found, and she instructed the Snake-People in the tribe to treat him with respect.

Yang Shan's performance this time really intimidated Yue Mei.

Yue Mei was afraid that her subordinates would offend Yang Shan.

In the end, she'll have to take the blame!

In fact, if possible, Yang Shan would definitely have preferred to use the identity of "Cheng E" to carry out this operation.

After all, "Cheng E" was Soul Envoy of the Soul Hall, and he could easily conquer cities by simply hacking and shoving his way through.

However, if "Cheng E" were to appear anywhere outside the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng would definitely suspect Protector Liu's current situation if he received the news! Using the identity of "Yang Shan" would be somewhat difficult to explain to the Jia Ma Empire.

But it's not a big deal; at worst, we can just say that the Serpent-People tribe had a deal with him.

Whether he intervenes or not, Shimo City is destined to fall.

I believe that the Imperial Family Old Ancestor, Jia Xingtian, would not offend him Seven-Star Dou Wang who possesses Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, a sixth-grade Alchemist, and the only designated supreme partner of the Mittel Family, over such a "trivial matter"!

With their strength and background right there, they can act with complete impunity! If they're always so timid and hesitant, what kind of number one player in Battle Through the Heavens is that?

Yue Mei arranged a rather luxurious tent for Yang Shan.

Despite its luxurious appearance, a tent is still just a tent and can't possibly be as comfortable as a room.

Yang Shan didn't say much.

He used to sleep in all sorts of remote mountains and forests when he was leveling up.

After refining another batch of Spirit Marrow Pill, Yang Shan planned to take a break, have some tea, and browse the forums.

Anyway, it will take Yue Mei another two or three days to mobilize the manpower.

Tianyao Official Game Forum is very well managed, divided into eight major sections, each of which is further subdivided into many smaller categories.

Yang Shan opened the trending topics list.

Surprisingly, three out of the top twenty trending topics all point to the same player.

Yi Qingyang's combat power skyrockets!

Yi Qingyang! The Number One Player of the Luoyan Empire!

The Dark Horse at the Top of the 2.0 Combat Power Rankings – Yi Qingyang!

"Did Yi Qingyang rise to prominence in this version?"

Yang Shan didn't remember very clearly, since the ranking system in his previous life was only launched some time after version 2.0 was released.

At that time, Yi Qingyang was already vying with Xiao Aotian for second place on the Combat Power Rankings. (The first place was Hao Yunqi.) Yang Shan clicked on the last post.

The poster included several screenshots in the post.

It's the fourth day since version 2.0 launched. (Game time)

When the server opened, Yi Qingyang's ranking was outside the top 100.

Day 1 is over, ranking 73rd.

The next day, the ranking was 48th.

The third day is the 25th.

The last screenshot in the post shows 19th place.

ID Lust-Induced Hallucinations: Hey upstairs, how about we change our names? I think this forum ID suits you better.

Yang Shan immediately pulled up the real-time ranking of the current Combat Power Rankings.

Blood Rampage, who was originally ranked tenth, has been replaced by Yi Qingyang.

In just four days, their combat strength more than doubled.

Yang Shan was basically certain that Yi Qingyang had already obtained his signature techniques—the "Great Condensing Gold Art" and the "Eight Desolations Sword Control Method"!

The Great Condensing Gold Art is a Earth Rank Low-Level Technique with Golden Word Seal.

The Eight Desolations Sword Control Method is an extremely rare "sword control" Dou Technique.

The Misty Cloud Sect, which mainly focuses on swordsmanship and Dou Technique, actually also has two sword Dou Technique.

But it's nowhere near as good as the "Eight Desolations Sword Control Method".

This Dou Technique, like the "Tyrant Blade," is divided into the Mysterious Chapter and the Earth Chapter.

With just the Mysterious Chapter, one can freely control eight flying swords to attack.

Moreover, this sword control isn't based on Soul Strength, but rather on the skills of the Dou Technique themselves and Dou Qi! As for why Yi Qingyang is of the metal element, Yi Qingyang once said in an interview in his previous life that he entered the game with the wish of slaying demons and monsters and upholding justice in the world of Xianxia.

He hesitated for a long time at first.

If using a sword, theoretically, lightning, fire, and wind could all be used to great effect.

However, after careful consideration, Yi Qingyang decided to choose the metal element.

Because metal is the most outstanding attribute among all attributes in terms of its ability to Armor Break.

Moreover, as a swordsman, one must be one with the sword, and a good sword is mostly made of precious metals.

In a previous life, Yi Qingyang once said in an interview:

"Other attributes allow the sword to assist Dou Qi, while the metal attribute allows Dou Qi to assist the sword! Although this is just my own analysis based on the basic theory of the game, I decided at the time to take this path, the path of the swordsman that I, Yi Qingyang, chose myself!"

It was precisely because Yi Qingyang chose this path that he was able to trigger that extremely special opportunity, thereby obtaining the infinitely useful "Eight Desolations Sword Control Method".

This marked the beginning of his legendary journey of wielding a sword!

"Tsk tsk, most of the Three Sects and Twelve Emperors have already made their mark. It's probably too early for Yuan Hongquan and Ji Wusha them."

Yang Shan has always maintained a positive attitude.

Because he always understood that true masters, no matter what adversity they face, will always be able to overcome it!

The stage of the Dou Qi Continent will one day be filled with players.

This stage is too big; it can't possibly belong to just one person.

Yang Shan yawned and left a message in the company group chat. "My progress is going well, you guys need to hurry up! I'm going offline to rest now."

After sending the message, Yang Shan didn't read the reply and simply went offline.

Shortly after Yang Shan logged off, Yue Mei arrived outside Yang Shan's tent. "Um, um..."

Yue Mei suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know the other person's name.

So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and call out, "Young Master! Young Master?"

There was no response from inside the tent.

A guard standing nearby asked:

"Commander, what do we do?"

Yue Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, every day we delay means one less day of resources. Let's not wait for you, Young Master. Let's just take action now. Anyway, the garrison in Shimo City is very weak right now, so it won't take much effort!"

The bodyguard bowed his head.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately!"

And so, under Yue Mei's command...

The Profound Moon Tribe, consisting of 20,000 Snake-People and 50,000 newly joined players, launched a fierce attack on the Shimo City!

The garrison in Shimo City numbered only three thousand.

As for the players, aside from those who came from other cities in the Jia Ma Empire specifically to do quests, almost all the players who were previously permanent residents of Shimo City have already switched to joining the Serpent-People tribe. In the Jia Ma Empire, it was difficult for them to get ahead, but in the Serpent-People tribe, which has recently opened up recruitment permissions, they might just be able to take off! As for the players, of course, their priority is to improve themselves.

Therefore, under the massive attack of the Profound Moon Tribe, the defenders of Shimo City had already become fearful before the battle even began.

Before they could put up much resistance, they had already surrendered, abandoning their armor and weapons.

Of course, things won't end so quickly.

Yue Mei also had to guard against the counterattacks from Salt City and Desert City behind Shimo City! But after waiting for two days, Salt City and Desert City didn't utter a single word! Yang Shan, who was practicing the Ba Duan Jin downstairs, also saw the relevant news on the forum.

"Is Yue Mei really that impatient?"

Yang Shan was speechless.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to gain some souls.

But it's better not to make a move, so as not to cause too much of a commotion and attract too much attention from other players.

After all, Yang Shan's ultimate goal in Shimo City was the Mystic Refinement Sect Ruins.

Two days into the game, Yue Mei and her personal guards stood outside Yang Shan's tent.

"Commander, this gentleman is clearly sleeping. Should we come back later?"

Yue Mei: "No! Wait!"

When Yue Mei, the leader of the Profound Moon Tribe, ever waited for anyone, except when facing Medusa Queen and the Four Great Elders?

She didn't want to wait, but she dared not not wait! Yue Mei was fully aware of the fluctuations inside the tent a few days ago.

Yang Shan is refining Fifth-grade Pill! And his success rate is outrageously high! This makes Yue Mei seriously suspect that Yang Shan is a sixth-grade Alchemist!

A sixth-grade Alchemist who specializes in lightning and uses "borrowed fire" to refine medicine? What kind of monster is this? Yue Mei has now completely given up on the idea of being hostile to Yang Shan.

Yue Mei will pretend that what happened before never happened! But the key point is that this time, because Yue Mei was in a hurry, she did not inform Yang Shan in advance and had already occupied Shimo City.

Yue Mei was worried that Yang Shan would be dissatisfied, so she had to come specifically to apologize.

Since it's about making an apology, you have to show an apologetic attitude.

Just as Yue Mei was filled with fear and trepidation, the tent opened.

Yang Shan glanced at Yue Mei: "What are you doing?"

Yue Mei said with a hint of respect, "Young Master, you were resting earlier, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I arranged for people to attack Shimo City first. I didn't expect the garrison in Shimo City to surrender directly, and we took Shimo City without breaking a sweat."

"It was Yue Mei who acted on her own initiative, and she came here specifically to apologize."

Yang Shan was very satisfied with Yue Mei's attitude.

It seems that Yue Mei has truly been defeated.

Yang Shan: "Now that we've taken over, as agreed, help me dig some things out of the city."

Yue Mei was confused. "Dig?"

Yang Shan: "Yes, we dug both inside and outside the city. We dug up some weapons that looked very old and were already rusty."

Yue Mei: "Huh? Digging for weapons?"

Yang Shan: "Yes!"

The Mystic Refinement Sect is a sect with profound weapon-refining heritage. After the strange phenomena of the previous life appeared, nearly thirty pillars of light broke through the ground inside and around Shimo City.

Some curious players followed the beam of light and dug into the ground, unearthing weapons that were rusted beyond repair.

These weapons are the special tokens needed by the Refining Sect ruins.

Once inside the ruins, these weapons will provide clues, leading players to areas where they need to practice.

As everyone knows, game items that require trials to obtain are usually of a higher level! Yang Shan only had a vague understanding of the situation inside the ruins, since he hadn't participated in this battle for the ruins in his previous life, but instead followed Luo Xie in the Black-Corner Region! Therefore, Yang Shan could only use special tokens to help him find more high-level items as quickly as possible! Although Yue Mei didn't understand, at this moment, she could only bite the bullet and agree.

The fall of Shimo City did not seem to cause much of a stir.

On the contrary, a short video released by Tianyao Official caused a tsunami on the forum.

In the short film, Yun Leng, the Great Elder of the Yun Leng Misty Cloud Sect, hosts a banquet for Jia Xingtian the Jia Ma Imperial Family, Fa Ma, the President of the Alchemist Guild, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, and the heads of the three major families.

In the outdoor courtyard, everyone was gathered around a table laden with dishes, chatting happily.

Halfway through the meal, a man with long white hair casually tied up and a face without a single wrinkle appeared silently.

The important figures from the Jia Ma Empire who were originally sitting at the table all stood up in shock.

The old Old Ancestor of the Imperial Family family, Jia Xingtian, forced a smile, "Yun Shan, you've broken through?"

Yun Shan's face was calm:

"Lucky!"

The Great Elder Yun Leng, excitedly announced to the crowd, "From this day forward, the former sect leader of Yun Shan will once again take control of the Misty Cloud Sect!"

Yun Shan is a truly tragic figure.

He was slapped off the server from version 1.2 by Xiao Li, the young master of the Xiao Clan, and spent the entire version 1.3 recovering from his injuries.

It wasn't until version 2.0 that it reappeared.

However, it seems that Yun Shan's mentality has not been broken by Xiao Li. When he appeared, he still had a calm and indifferent attitude, as if he was already the best in the world.

"Grandpa Yun Shan is as charming as ever!"

Yang Shan turned off the video. "Once things are settled here, I should go back and see Ya Fei."

Just as Yang Shan was pondering, a call came from afar:

"Boss! Boss! I've missed you so much!"
