Cheng E: Willing to Expand Yunlan Sect's Territory!

In front of the Misty Cloud Sect's front mountain, in front of the Martial Arts Practice Square.

Every day, hundreds of thousands of disciples here regularly engage in "Morning Practice"! In the entire Jia Ma Empire, only the Misty Cloud Sect possesses this special function.

If players are lazy, they can simply click to leave the game running in the background.

The game character will automatically complete Morning Practice in the game, thus gaining more experience points than the usual AFK (away from keyboard) experience.

Of course, the Morning Practice time isn't very long, usually only about half an hour. (Game time)

If players are willing to actively engage in Morning Practice online, they may gain an improvement in their comprehension or Dou Technique proficiency.

On the other hand, there is also the possibility of triggering an interaction and receiving guidance from an elder.

While hundreds of thousands of players were practicing their Dou Technique in various areas, using different weapons.

A deafening roar echoed through the sky! Yang Shan made his dazzling entrance!

Yang Shan was clearly deliberately using his Dou Qi to create thunderous sounds in the clouds in order to attract the attention of the Misty Cloud Sect elders and disciples on the ground!

"Holy crap, who's that masked guy?"

"It looks incredibly awesome."

"What a load of rubbish! With Dou Qi Transformation Wings, one is either Dou Wang or Dou Emperor. Yun Shan is still having a meeting in the Front Hall right now. This guy is putting on such a big show. He's definitely going to get slapped into the ground by Yun Shan in a minute!"

"Alright, alright, I love watching the fun. I wonder if Yun Shan will use the ' Great Compassion Wind Rending Hand ' from the original novel this time!"

The player community was naturally quite curious about Yang Shan's sudden appearance.

Just then, Yun Shan, the Great Elder Yun Leng, the Second Elder Yun Lei, and the Dou Emperor Soul Envoy Lian Qiao flew out from the Front Hall and came to Yang Shan's side.

Yun Shan looked at Yang Shan with a very friendly smile on his face, "I didn't expect that Mister E would come in person. You should have informed us in advance so that our sect could have made preparations and given you a proper welcome."

You can't hit someone who's smiling, Yang Shan can't afford to break ties with Yun Shan right now.

But his current identity is that of a "terrifying being" whom even Protector Wu has to refer to as "Little Wù"! So there's no need for him to bow to Yun Shan or anything like that.

Lian Qiao had already consciously flown behind Yang Shan, just like a loyal old servant.

Yang Shan placed his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"I have already troubled Sect Master Yun Shan for many days. I cannot just sit here and do nothing. I am willing to expand the territory of the Misty Cloud Sect!"

Yun Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

Yang Shan's words clearly stated. "I'm going to expose the Misty Cloud Sect and openly collect souls!"

However, Yun Shan did not dare to refuse Yang Shan and could only maintain his smile, "As the First Offering Mister E my Misty Cloud Sect, it would be best if you could help Misty Cloud Sect secure some resource points."

Yang Shan: "Well then, I'll bring some men and help the Misty Cloud Sect capture a few more resource points!"

"Thank you for your help, Mister E!"

Yun Shan turned his head:

"Yun Leng!"

Yun Leng: "Sect Master!"

Yun Shan: "Accompany Mister E and pick out some men at the Martial Arts Practice Square."

"Yes, sir!"

Yun Leng is Yun Shan's old subordinate, and in recent years he has held the most real power in the Misty Cloud Sect.

Although he was narrow-minded, he did have some real skills, especially in handling affairs.

Yun Shan had already told Yun Leng that "Cheng E" was of extraordinary status and must be treated well.

But we can't let "Cheng E" run rampant! Yun Shan specified that Yun Leng should accompany Yang Shan to select men at the Martial Arts Practice Square.

The meeting in the Front Hall was attended entirely by the powerful high-ranking members of the Misty Cloud Sect who were under the command of Yun Shan.

Besides the disciples, there were also some elders in the Martial Arts Practice Square, all of whom were "new elders" trained by Yun Yun.

They can be considered members of the "Yun Yun Faction".

The people trained by the traitorous disciple are naturally at Yang Shan's disposal! He can send them to their deaths without Yun Shan feeling too bad.

Yang Shan, Lian Qiao, and Yun Leng immediately landed on the Martial Arts Practice Square.

The experienced Yun Leng knew that at this moment, he had to save face first!

Therefore, Yun Leng immediately rebuked:

"Have you all seen this clearly? This is the First Offering of my Misty Cloud Sect, the Mister E! Aren't you going to pay your respects?"

The players in the Martial Arts Practice Square reacted in various ways.

But the NPCs immediately bowed and said in unison, "Greetings, Mister E!"

Since the NPCs are acting like this, the players have no choice but to put on an act too.

I had no choice but to bow as well, saying:

"Greetings, Mister E!"

Yes, hundreds of thousands of players bowing in respect is something that would never happen in the real world.

Yang Shan finally got to experience what it's like to be a big shot! Three days ago, Yun Shan had already announced the identity of the "First Offering".

Many players are curious about who this "Mister E" is.

Players who were close to Yang Shan couldn't resist their curiosity and sent Yang Shan a "scouting" message.

Cheng E

Rank: One Star Dou Huang

Attribute: Thunder

Identity: Yunlan Sect's First Offering; Qi and Blood:???; Attack:???; Defense:???? Yang Shan was the one who proactively revealed his aura fluctuations.

Otherwise, other players won't even be able to find out their level!

"Cheng E? Who exactly is this person?"

"There's no such thing as First Offering in the original work!"

"Are you all stupid? You must know Lian Qiao, right? He's the First Leader the Azure Cloud Association and Soul Envoy of the Soul Hall. He follows Cheng E around like a loyal dog. Don't you understand Cheng E's identity?"

"That's not right either. Cheng E One Star Dou Huang, Lian Qiao Three Star Dou Huang. How come Lian Qiao is just a follower?"

"This Cheng E definitely has an extraordinary status in the Soul Hall!"

Yang Shan did not shy away from being analyzed by other players.

The identity of "Cheng E" could not be hidden in the first place.

Besides, revealing that "Cheng E" is a member of the Soul Hall might not necessarily be a bad thing!

There's bound to be a lot of players crowding around, trying to boost his favorability!

It will be much easier to have other players do things for him then.

Yun Leng smiled obsequiously from the side, "Mister E, how many people do you need? Or should I arrange it for you?"

Yang Shan: "No need. If the people I take with me capture resource points, they will still contribute as usual, right?"

Yun Leng: "Of course! It's rare for Mister E to show up, so I can make the decision that the disciples who follow Mister E this time will have their contributions increased by 20%!"

Yang Shan's gaze towards Yun Leng became much more affectionate:

"You old codger know how to play the game! I'll put in a good word for you with Yun Shan!"

Yun Leng was overjoyed:

"Thank you, Mister E."

But in reality, Yun Leng had already cursed Yang Shan several times in her heart.

As Yun Shan's old subordinate, did he need Yang Shan to say a few good words for him?

Can't tell who's on your side and who's an outsider, huh? Yang Shan looked at the group of players, then took flight again, raising his voice slightly. "I'm new here and not familiar with any of you. Who's willing to follow me down the mountain to seize resource points? Make your move and let me see if you have any real skills!"

The instant Yang Shan finished speaking, a figure wielding a sword attacked.

The sword trembled slightly and split into three.

This is Mystic Rank Intermediate Dou Skills from the Misty Cloud Sect.

Wind Spirit Splitting Sword! The figure moved at an absurdly fast speed.

A distance of several hundred meters can be traversed in just two breaths.

But Yang Shan remained completely calm.

"Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger," five shots per second! Yang Shan knows "Wind Spirit Splitting Sword" too well.

Yang Shan had a complete grasp of the Dou Technique's attack route.

The three Finger Strength knocked the longsword away, and the two sword shadows extending from the blade were also shattered.

The remaining two Finger Strength were aimed directly at the opponent's throat.

But the opponent was clearly no pushover either. He didn't even activate his Dou Qi Armor, but simply used his Dou Qi Transformation Wings in conjunction with the gentle breeze flowing around him to gracefully dodge the Finger Strength.

This is the "Flying Floss Movement Technique". Although it is only at the Mystic Rank Middle-Level, it is a rare and excellent Profound Rank body technique that can be integrated into the Dou Qi Transformation Wings!

The one who made the move was naturally Ye Suifeng, the number one player of the Hero King Manor!

Previously, Yang Shan had communicated with Jin Shankao.

Yang Shan deliberately sold Jin Shankao some "intelligence".

"Gold Elder, I've met that Mister E in the Black-Corner Region. His real name is Cheng E, and he's from the Soul Hall! Moreover, his status seems to be quite high. Now that Cheng E has come to the Misty Cloud Sect, he must have some kind of cooperation with Protector Wu. If Cheng E is gathering manpower, we must seize the opportunity!"

Jin Shankao of seizing opportunities!

So while the other players were still hesitating, Ye Suifeng had already made his move! No wonder he was Twelve Emperors in his previous life.

Although Ye Suifeng did not come to the Black-Corner Region, his own development was indeed quite good.

From that brief exchange, Yang Shan could confirm that Ye Suifeng had been diligently honing his combat skills in recent versions.

No wonder Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng kept complaining that even though they were ranked higher than Ye Suifeng on the Combat Power Rankings, they could never beat Ye Suifeng in a one-on-one fight.

This guy is really quite skilled.

Yang Shan placed his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"Not bad, you've got some skills."

Ye Suifeng bowed respectfully. "I acted impulsively in a moment of anger. Please forgive me, Mister E!"

It was obvious that Ye Suifeng genuinely treated Yang Shan as a big shot in the Soul Hall, attempting to gain some favor from Yang Shan.

Ye Suifeng was very excited:

"Finally, it's my turn to take off, Ye Suifeng! I must do everything I can to raise this Mister E's favorability! Then I'll join the Soul Hall, and then hehehehe!"

It's not just the Ye Suifeng.

Now that the opportunity to join the Soul Hall is presented to them, at least 70% of them would cheer with joy.

This is the Soul Hall! You won't need to switch factions even when the game shuts down.

Who isn't a scoundrel? Yang Shan waved his hand. "You will go and select five hundred men to come down the mountain with me, and your contribution will be increased by twenty percent!"

Ye Suifeng was overjoyed. "Thank you, Mister E!"

Ye Suifeng thought he had found a powerful backer.

Yang Shan had already turned on the recording and recorded Ye Suifeng's sycophantic behavior.

Once the identity of "Cheng E" becomes undeniable, Yang Shan will definitely bring up this video to make fun of him! Yang Shan coldly said, "I'll be waiting for you at the sect's main gate! Hurry up!"

Ye Suifeng: "Don't worry, Mister E, it will be quick!"

Yang Shan wants five hundred men? That's easy! Jin Shankao his hand and said, "Quick, select five hundred brothers to follow me! It's time to make some easy money!"

Yun Shan, who had been floating in the air, was confused about Yang Shan's purpose when he saw Yang Shan and Lian Qiao leave so decisively.

But with only 500 people, they can only capture one resource point at most.

Perhaps this "Soul General" is just here to have some fun and collect some souls along the way.

As long as they don't go too far, Yun Shan is willing to accommodate them! After sending Protector Wu and Yang Shan away "comfortably," it will be Yun Shan's turn to comfortably rule the Jia Ma Empire!

Yang Shan's system map has already shown all the resource points within a radius of 3,000 kilometers of the Gama Holy City.

These resource points are all marked with flags bearing names.

The Misty Cloud Sect alone accounts for 30%! The Imperial Family only accounts for 20%.

The remaining 50% is in the hands of the three major families: the Mitier, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family, as well as the Alchemist Guild.

Which resource points should we capture? We shouldn't touch Mitier, Nalan Family has Nalan Yanran, so it's best to avoid them as well.

Therefore, the targets should be the Alchemist Guild and the Mu Family.

Yang Shan quickly pointed to a medium-to-large resource point.

The largest resource point with the most resources is likely to attract the Alchemist Guild and the Mu Family's high-ranking members.

Even the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma, or the head of the Mu Family, Mu Chen.

Yang Shan's target is the players from both major factions.

Fa Ma and Mu Chen will remain the backbone of the resistance against the Misty Cloud Sect in the future.

This medium-to-large resource site called "Black Mud Forest" was specially selected by Yang Shan.

The Black Mud Forest is very suitable for the growth of some high-level spiritual plants, and it is currently jointly controlled by the Alchemist Guild and the Mu Family.

The Mu Family has many wood-attribute cultivators, and the family has a unique method for cultivating spiritual plants.

However, alchemy requires a large number of spiritual plants.

This also made the Alchemist Guild willing to cooperate with the Mu Family, achieving a win-win situation.

Seeing Jin Shankao and Ye Suifeng leading five hundred players from the Hero King Manor to arrive in a grand procession, Yang Shan said calmly, "Not bad, things were done very quickly!"

Ye Suifeng: "Thank you for the compliment, Mister E. Mister E! This Jin Shankao is my elder brother, Five-Star Dou Wang. He will definitely be able to lend you a hand!"

Jin Shankao a smile, "I have long heard that there is a mysterious Mister E in my Misty Cloud Sect. First Offering and his strength is so great that even the Great Elder Yun Leng is no match for him. I have long admired him. Now that I have the opportunity to work for the Mister E, I am very honored!"

Yang Shan's acting skills are quite good.

But seeing this scene, I almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

So this is how Gold Elder and Brother Ye act in front of NPCs.

Yang Shan said calmly, "The purpose of this trip is to seize the Black Mud Forest. Speed is of the essence in war. All Dou Wang, follow me in this surprise attack! The rest of you, hurry on your way!"

After saying that, Yang Shan immediately activated his Dou Qi Transformation Wings and flew westward.

Lian Qiao urged:

"Why aren't you following us? If you can gain Mister E's favor, you will surely rise rapidly in the Misty Cloud Sect. Even Yun Leng won't dare to show any disrespect to you!"

Ye Suifeng was bursting with energy! The opportunity to join the Soul Hall was right in front of him.

We must lick this Mister E's boots until he's completely satisfied! The Hero King Manor's Mansion still focuses on elite troops, and the players within the guild are generally of very high levels.

Even among the top-tier players at the Dou Wang level, there are already more than ten! The Black Mud Forest isn't too far from the Misty Cloud Sect, at most a hundred kilometers away.

So the journey didn't take too long.

The Alchemist Guild and the Mu Family seemed to have received the news in advance, and both factions had already launched missions related to "protecting the Black Mud Forest".

A large number of players flocked to the Black Mud Forest.

When Yang Shan arrived at the Black Mud Forest Black Mud Forest, the number of defenders displayed in real time was 372,222!

Great, I'm not afraid of having too many people, I'm afraid of having too few.

Yang Shan, hidden behind the mask, grinned crookedly, and terrifying Dou Qi fluctuations were brewing on his fingers.

Two consecutive releases of "Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger"!

The first Finger Strength transformed into a blinding white, Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning!

The second Finger Strength was the Sea Heart Flame! To prevent others from discovering his dual cultivation of thunder and fire, Yang Shan changed the color of the Sea Heart Flame once again—

White!

Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning emitted a blinding white light, and the Sea Heart Flame following behind it blended perfectly into it. To outsiders, it would only appear to be a simple Finger Strength.

The two Finger Strength, seemingly one but actually two, moved so fast that the naked eye could only see a single beam of light falling like a shooting star.

In an instant, a massive explosion covered an area of hundreds of meters around the ground! With the illusionary properties of the Sea Heart Flame, "Mister E" can also use Overload!
