In the Branch Hall, He Could Walk Sideways!

Han Feng's matter was handled very quickly.

But he actually wanted to stay here and listen to what Old Mu Bone and Yang Shan would talk about.

But after a single glance from the Old Mu Bone, Han Feng wisely took his leave.

Not only Han Feng, but even Sha Feng retreated.

This detail is important.

Although Sha Feng was able to bring Han Feng to see Old Mu Bone, he was not one of Old Mu Bone's core confidants.

Otherwise, Sha Feng should be standing to the side right now.

After the Sha Feng left, Yang Shan consciously took out the Soul General Token.

The Old Mu Bone glanced at him, then a smile spread across his aged face, "Cheng E Soul Envoy, Sha Feng has told me most of your story. I wonder who the person behind you is?"

Yang Shan's tone was somewhat awkward:

"To be honest, Elder Mu Gu, I don't know either. That lord only told me to call him Young Master. He also wore a mask, and I couldn't see through him at all. My mask was also a gift from Young Master."

Old Mu Bone: "I see. Then I won't ask any more questions."

Hun Dan's identity within the Soul Hall is kept highly confidential.

Old Mu Bone was not from the Hun Xian lineage, and he only knew that a "big shot" had indeed gone to the Black-Corner Region.

With the Soul General Token issued, Old Mu Bone had gained some understanding of Hun Dan's identity.

"Young Master" of the Soul Clan who possess the Dou Di Bloodline! Apart from these Young Master, only true "Soul Clan members" are qualified to be given Soul General Token in the Soul Hall!

But those people were of even higher status than the "Young Master"!

Because they already possess the Dou Di Bloodline, and have fully unleashed their potential.

The most pathetic one among them is called "Qiu Di," who is Eight Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall!

When Qiu Di was young, Qiu Di was a Young Master of the Soul Clan, and he had Seventh Grade Bloodline! His status as a Soul General was indeed a bit lower than that of the Venerable Elder.

But that's definitely not enough to make Old Mu Bone Yang Shan around! Old Mu Bone usually laughs with a "hehehe" sound, which looks sinister and vicious.

He really put in a lot of effort to manage a seemingly warm smile.

Old Mu Bone: "Cheng E, what mission do you have to come to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall?"

Yang Shan: "There's no major mission. Young Master thinks my strength is too low right now and wants to train me, so he sent me to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall to see the Elder. However, Young Master instructed that after arriving at the branch hall, I must pay my respects to the Elder immediately."

The Old Mu Bone, suddenly realized:

"Understood. I will take care of you in the Ghost Wither Branch Hall!"

Yang Shan: "Young Master seems to have some other important matter to attend to and needs to conceal his identity. I'm afraid my identity will also need Elder Mu Gu to cover it up."

The Old Mu Bone, had no doubts.

The Hun Dan wanted to "act in secret," so even he, as an elder, didn't know the specifics.

The causal relationship is established!

"Since it is Young Master request, young master, then I will certainly comply. Cheng E Soul Envoy, do you have any title?"

Yang Shan: "In the Black-Corner Region, I had some cooperation with Han Feng. At that time, the people within Han Feng's forces called me Mister E."

The Old Mu Bone, suddenly asked:

"That Han Feng"

Han Feng had met Old Mu Bone earlier than Yang Shan, so Old Mu Bone must have known a general idea about Han Feng's experiences in the Black-Corner Region.

"He's just a nobody. He offended Young Master before, but he didn't know Young Master identity, so I was ordered to set him up!"

Yang Shan had already prepared his explanation; he just needed to pin the blame on the Hun Dan.

The Old Mu Bone laughed, "That Han Feng really has no sense of propriety, daring to offend even a big shot like the Young Master. No wonder he was forced to self-destruct, hehehe."

Old Mu Bone had absolutely no good feelings towards Han Feng.

Han Feng is a rebellious bastard; he even dared to harm his own master for the sake of cultivation techniques.

How could Old Mu Bone follow the same path Venerable Yao?

From beginning to end, they just treated Han Feng as a tool.

The Old Mu Bone said, "I still have some use for Han Feng for now. But once I'm done with Young Master to vent your anger, I'll personally tie him up!"

Yang Shan smiled and said, "Elder Mu Gu, you're too kind. Young Master has never taken Han Feng seriously. Please do whatever you want with him."

The Old Mu Bone Cheng E Soul Envoy to conceal his identity, then I will announce to the outside world that you are my personal disciple. However, since the Young Master wants you to improve your strength, you need to be trained and Contribution Points. I will not provide you with much support for the time being. Please do not mind, Envoy Cheng E Soul Envoy."

Yang Shan: "I don't mind at all. It's part of the training. You have to suffer a bit to get through it."

Old Mu Bone: "Sha Feng!"

Sha Feng immediately appeared in the room:

"Lord Mu Gu!"

Old Mu Bone instructed, "Spread the word that Cheng E will henceforth be my personal disciple. When the branch hall staff see him, they shall all address him as Mister E!"

[Ding! Player, please note that due to your "immense background," Old Mu Bone hopes to cultivate a good relationship with you in order to gain access to the "big shot" behind you. Old Mu Bone's favorability towards you has increased by 10.]

[Ding! Player, please note that since your secondary identity "Cheng E" has already gained some fame, given your current situation, you can use "Mister E" as the title for your secondary identity "Cheng E". You can refuse, and you can still trigger other titles later. However, because it is a secondary identity, your title cannot be customized, nor can it appear on the Heaven Ranking.]

Yang Shan never expected that the title that started with the Azure Cloud Association would actually become a real "title"! After thinking about it carefully, Yang Shan realized that the title wasn't bad at all!

Click OK!

The moment Yang Shan made his decision, Sha Feng respectfully bowed to Yang Shan: "Greetings, Mister E!"

Yang Shan: "Hey, Sha Feng Protector, there's no need to be so polite!"

Sha Feng: "You can call me Sha Feng from now on."

Old Mu Bone: "Cheng E, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can always seek help from Sha Feng. If Sha Feng can't handle it, then come to me, and I will definitely take care of it properly for you!"

Even Old Mu Bone is willing to help Yang Shan, so how high must his status be?

Sha Feng had already started to imagine things.

Yang Shan had nothing else to do, so he took his leave from Old Mu Bone.

After leaving the Main Palace, Han Feng was anxiously pacing back and forth at the entrance.

Han Feng's heart tightened when he saw Yang Shan and Sha Feng walk out together.

Han Feng was terrified that Sha Feng had been sent to arrest him! But Yang Shan's gaze made Han Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Sha Feng completely ignored Han Feng.

"Cheng E, I have offended you greatly before. Consider these 200,000 Contribution Points my way as an apology!"

With Sha Feng present, Han Feng naturally had to find another excuse.

Sha Feng reminded him, "Han Feng, when you see Lord Cheng E in the future, you must call him Mister E! Mister E is the personal disciple of Elder Mu Gu!"

Han Feng was secretly surprised:

"No wonder Sha Feng was so protective of Cheng E before!"

After the initial shock, Han Feng felt extremely unwilling.

He was once a direct disciple of the Venerable Yao.

Old Mu Bone was merely the junior brother of Venerable Yao, and his strength and alchemy skills were far inferior to Venerable Yao's! Unexpectedly, he now had to bow and scrape before Old Mu Bone's personal disciple!

Whether out of anger or regret, Han Feng was unwilling to stay any longer. "Mister E, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. If there's any news about Yang Shan, I will certainly inform him."

Yang Shan: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work. Be careful on your journey."

Han Feng: "???"

Yang Shan's sudden friendliness left Han Feng somewhat bewildered.

But he didn't have time to think it through; he needed to use his Contribution Points to recruit more people.

Yang Shan to Han Feng to be careful on the journey was truly from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Shan hoped that Han Feng could live well before they came to kill him.

When Han Feng's soul escaped, although he lost the Sea Heart Flame, he still had his Storage Ring with him!

After killing the number one Alchemist in the Black-Corner Region, how could he not drop some good stuff?

Yang Shan felt it necessary to go to the Black-Corner Region as Yang Shan after receiving the news.

By taking advantage of the special rules of the Black-Corner Region, he can get an extra guaranteed item! He'll give away the Sea Heart Flame, and then he'll give away experience and drops as well.

Han Feng is so touching!

Having squeezed a sum from Han Feng, Yang Shan now possesses 500,000 Contribution Points! Aside from those Heaven Grade Protector, probably few people in this Ghost Wither Branch Hall can rival his wealth! He needs to quickly spend some! Yang Shan turned around and headed to the "Secret Treasure Hall" east of the Main Palace.

This Secret Treasure Hall is where members of the Soul Hall exchange Contribution Points for other resources.

Cultivation techniques, Dou Technique, equipment, elixirs—everything is available! Yang Shan's primary goal is the "Dark Soul Mist"! Upon arriving at the Secret Treasure Hall, he found a Heaven Grade Protector guarding the entrance on the first floor.

"Hey, Brother Sha Feng, what brings you here?"

Sha Feng introduced, "Protector Huai, this Mister E is a personal disciple of Elder Mu Gu. You should understand, right?"

Protector Huai was startled and quickly bowed:

"Huai Mao pays his respects to the Mister E!"

Sha Feng: "Mister E, this is your first time here, so let me accompany you this time."

This was somewhat against the rules, but Protector Huai did not dare to speak out to stop it. He just thought to himself that it was a pity that he had missed an opportunity to build a relationship with an important person.

However, Protector Huai had firmly memorized Yang Shan's appearance; there would always be another opportunity! Upon entering the Secret Treasure Hall, Sha Feng asked:

"Mister E, what would you like to exchange for?"

Yang Shan: "Dark Soul Mist".

The Sha Feng suddenly realized:

"Oh, this Dou Technique is indeed extraordinary. Is Mister E going to switch to the Mysterious Chapter?"

Yang Shan: "The Earth Chapter!"

Sha Feng reminded him, "Mister E, the cultivation requirements for Dark Soul Mist are extremely high. The Earth Chapter level has reached the Earth Rank Middle-Level. To cultivate it, one needs at least the Soul Strength of the Spirit Realm Middle Stage."

Yang Shan remained calm:

"I know, that's why I'm changing the Earth Chapter."

"Hiss"

Sha Feng gasped.

He was a dignified Heaven Grade Protector, Nine Star Dou Zong, and had been struggling in the Soul Hall for almost a hundred years, yet his Soul Strength was only at the Spirit Realm Middle Stage.

After all, the kickbacks that Soul Hall personnel can secretly take when carrying out missions are actually very small.

Not everyone is like Yang Shan, who uses the souls he receives himself, and when he doesn't have enough, he steals souls from others, almost causing Protector Wu to be unable to complete his mission. Sha Feng led Yang Shan to the third floor of the Secret Treasure Hall.

At the very center of this third level stands a stone tablet two zhang tall, covered with densely packed characters.

Sha Feng explained, "Mister E, you can receive the inheritance by placing your Soul Envoy Token against the stone tablet. The Dark Soul Mist requires you to practice the Mysterious Chapter first, and then the Earth Chapter, so you need to buy both of them."

Yang Shan: "Alright, thank you for your hard work Sha Feng Protector."

"It's no trouble at all, I'll stay here and protect Mister E!"

Yang Shan arrived at the stone tablet and placed the Soul Envoy Token on it.

[Ding! You have purchased "Dark Soul Mist" (Mysterious Chapter), consuming 30,000 Contribution Points.]

[Ding! You have purchased "Dark Soul Mist" (Earth Chapter), consuming 300,000 Contribution Points.]

[Ding! You are receiving Dou Technique inheritance. Please maintain your meditation posture. Since your comprehension is as high as 73 points, you only need to meditate for ten minutes to learn the Dou Technique.]

Yang Shan's lips twitched.

What kind of Dou Technique requires 300,000 Contribution Points? Yang Shan was bleeding; that's 300,000 pure souls!

But Yang Shan believed that the Soul Hall would not cheat its own people; you get what you pay for, and this "Dark Soul Mist" must be extraordinary!

He quickly looked at the description of the Dou Technique—

[Dark Soul Mist] (Earth Chapter)

Rank: Earth Rank Middle-Level (Gold)

Type: Soul Dou Technique. Cultivation Requirements: Comprehension reaches 40 points, Soul Strength reaches the Spirit Realm Middle Stage.

Standard Time Acceleration: None.

Specific effects: By fusing Dou Qi with Soul Strength, a unique black mist is generated. The intensity of the black mist depends on the user's Dou Qi Intensity and Soul Strength. Dark Soul Mist possesses a variety of unique effects; please read the detailed description.

Characteristics: Attack, Defense, Corrosion, Condensation, Concealment! Introduction: [Dark Soul Mist was originally Heaven Rank Dou Skills treasured by the Soul Clan. When the Soul Clan's Dou Sheng Expert "Hun Miesheng" succeeded to the position of Soul Hall Master, he applied with the clan leader and many Grand Elder to bring this Dou Technique out and gradually simplified it into the "Earth Chapter" and "Mysterious Chapter".]

This Dou Technique integrates offense and defense, possessing a variety of special abilities and endless uses. Many powerful figures in the Central Plains have suffered losses due to this Dou Technique. During the Soul Hall's heyday, cultivators in the Central Plains would all avoid the Dark Soul Mist.
