Inside the main hall of the Jia Ma Imperial Family royal palace, Jia Xingtian had just finished listening to Yao Ye's battle report.

"Very good. Try to make more contact with Yun Leng and make Misty Cloud Sect focus on the resource points of other forces."

Jia Xingtian stood up, and as the Old Ancestor of the Imperial Family, he calmly analyzed the situation:

"Now that Cheng E and that mysterious Dou Zong have temporarily left the Jia Ma Empire, the Misty Cloud Sect is unprecedentedly weak. We should take this opportunity to feign an alliance with the Misty Cloud Sect and use them to attack other forces. In this way, when Yun Shan Misty Cloud Sect falls, we can take advantage of the weakness of other forces to seize resources and ensure that our Imperial Family remains standing!"

Yao Ye: "Great-grandfather is wise!"

Jia Xingtian: "Where is Yao Yue?"

Yao Ye: "Sister Yao Yue is currently studying alchemy."

Jia Xingtian nodded:

"Yao Yue has become much more sensible! Yao Ye, you are very good. After Yao Kai succeeds to the throne, I will make an exception and bestow upon you the title of king. From now on, you and Yao Yue must assist Yao Kai well."

Yao Ye bowed his head in greeting:

"Yes! Thank you, Great-Grandpa!"

Jia Xingtian waved his hand:

"Go down."

"Yes!"

Yao Ye walked out of the main hall, his expression was one of indescribable resentment.

"Sure enough, no matter how hard Yao Yue and I try, or how well we do, it's all useless! Grandfather, do you really still rely on that good-for-nothing! If Mitier can let Ya Fei take power, why can't the Imperial Family let a capable person succeed to the throne?"

Yao Ye hurriedly arrived outside the palace.

Yao Yue wasn't concocting any medicine; she was instead leading a large group of players, discreetly hiding in a mansion.

The number of players gathered in this mansion is less than 10,000.

However, from the very beginning when they Jia Ma Imperial Family, they were all taken under the command of Yao Ye and Yao Yue and given special training.

He could be considered a close confidant.

At this moment, these players were all eager to get started.

The grand plot of "Empire Upheaval" is not just about the confrontation between forces.

Where power declines, power rises.

A rise is inevitably accompanied by an expansion of power and resources.

Therefore, many powerful forces also begin to fall into internal strife.

And the players will become the absolute core force in the internal strife!

Any NPC who wants to vie for power needs the support of players.

This group of confidants belonging to Yao Ye and Yao Yue is prepared to follow the two princesses down the same path to the bitter end! If they succeed in seizing power, they can enjoy the most generous resources of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, thus making their lives smooth sailing in the next version!

Yao Ye arrived hastily, dressed in black armor.

The first person to greet Yao Ye was not Yao Yue, but Chao Bafang, who was also dressed in black armor.

"Yao Ye!"

The fact that she is no longer called "Princess" is proof of the close relationship between Chao Bafang and Yao Ye!

Yao Ye first gave Chao Bafang a gentle smile, which made Chao Bafang's bones melt.

Yao Ye, who is used to handling matters seriously, only smiles like this towards him!

Yao Ye looked back. Yao Yue didn't like wearing armor, so she only wore inner armor and then put on a silver long dress.

However, Zhu Tianpeng's silver armor, which was beside her, was a fitting match.

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng were known as "Rock Water Generals" within the Imperial Family and were the two princesses' greatest support.

Yao Ye took a deep breath and shouted:

"Today's battle concerns our very survival. I, Yao Ye, in the name of the Imperial Family Princess, swear that when I ascend the throne, you will all become my Imperial Family ministers. Let's go! Follow me!"

At the same time, the Mittel Family had also mobilized its manpower.

Hai Bodong floated in the air and shouted to the players of the Mittel Family: "A life-or-death battle is imminent. If we win this battle, my Mittel Family will open up Shadow Guard positions. Everyone can join the Shadow Guard with Contribution Points!"

The Shadow Guard are the hidden force to which the Mittel Family has allocated the most resources, and previously, not many players were able to join the Shadow Guard.

However, most players who joined the Shadow Guard team used this opportunity to reach the Dou Wang in this version and become top-tier players.

"Set off!"

As the strongest member of the Mittel Family, Elder Hai was exceptionally domineering and decided to stand at the very front of the group, acting as the spearhead to clear the way for them.

But as soon as Hai Bodong landed on the ground, he was immediately surrounded by several very good-looking girls.

Hai Bodong said helplessly:

"Little Dolphin, why aren't you going back to the group?"

The Little Dolphin said proudly:

"Don't try to order me around. I'm not a member of the Mittel Family. I'm here to protect you!"

It must be said that the girls in the Meteor Association are not just fake friends.

Many female players from the Meteor Association contributed their efforts to help Little Dolphin get to Hai Bodong.

Even Yu Feifei Yu Feifei had to participate remotely via voice during Yang Shan's previous combat meetings because she was helping the Little Dolphin.

The same thing happened to the Nalan Family.

The team was personally led by Nalan Jie and Nalan Yanran.

Nalan Yanran originally wanted to go with Yun Yun.

But now the Nalan Family needs her to step in.

Players from the Heaven Flame Alliance are also included.

However, Xiao Aotian stood alone in the distance, carrying Giant Ruler on his back and a blade of grass in his mouth, pretending to be a master.

There was no other way; when he launched version 1.0, he originally planned to acquire Ya Fei and Nalan Yanran, and then find a way to get Yun Yun as well.

As a result, in version 2.0, two of these three original NPCs have been removed, and the other is on its way.

But it had nothing to do with Xiao Aotian! Xiao Aotian's heart was bleeding, so he could only stand aside and pretend to be aloof.

Back in the Jia Nan Academy, Han Yue was interested in Yang Shan much earlier than he was! But ever since Yang Shan found out that Han Yue had a higher level of affection for him, he has basically stopped interacting with Han Yue.

Put yourself in his shoes; Nalan Yanran already has 50 points of favorability with Yang Shan, but he still has 0.

Are you suggesting we forcefully interfere? Given Xiao Aotian's personality, he wouldn't do something like that.

Only that idiot Wang Tianhao is still buzzing around Nalan Yanran like a fly.

Xiao Aotian really wanted to suggest that Wang Tianhao go to the hospital to have his eyes checked, because he really had vision problems.

Isn't the expression on Nalan Yanran's face obvious enough?

They practically had "rejection" written all over their faces! Finally, there's the "New Misty Cloud Sect."

Since he was going to support Yun Yun, Yang Shan Yun Yun had to stay by her side.

The NPCs and players following Yun Yun were all people she had secretly recruited from the Misty Cloud Sect.

This included half of the players from the Hero King Manor led by Ye Suifeng.

At this moment, Ye Suifeng confidently assured Yun Yun, "Sect Master, don't worry, I've already contacted my elder brother, and they will act as our inside agents!"

Yun Yun nodded:

"Xiao Ye, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Suifeng: "It's no trouble at all. Serving the sect leader is my duty, Ye Suifeng!"

Yun Yun looked at Yang Shan, who was wiping the Blood Roar Blade not far away, and walked over to him, saying, "Yang Shan, we should set off."

The Blood Roar Blade in Yang Shan's hand seemed to have undergone a slight change compared to before.

For a period of time, Yang Shan mainly appeared in public as "Cheng E" and rarely used the Blood Roar Blade.

Just then, Old Man Tie Yang's forging skills improved again, so Yang Shan asked Tie Yang to try using Red Sand Essence Ore to upgrade the Blood Roar Blade.

After ten consecutive failures, the Blood Roar Blade finally broke through its shackles and achieved an upgrade! [Blood Roar] (Exclusive Customization)

Quality: Top Grade Spirit Artifact (Gold)

Attack: 1288 Durability: 500/500 Special:

1. Blood Lightning - After any of your Dou Technique are integrated with "Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning", they will gain an additional 35% power increase, 20% reduction in Dou Qi consumption, and 20% reduction in casting time.

2. Soul Roar - When you use Soul Strength- related Dou Technique, your soul damage is increased. The degree of increase depends on your own Soul Strength strength.

3. Armor Break - Any of your attacks will deal an additional 20% damage to those with Dou Qi Armor.

4. Exclusive - Because this equipment is custom-made, its drop rate will be adjusted to the lowest possible level.

Limitation: Special effects are halved at the Three-Star Dou Zong level and above, and have no effect at the Eight-Star Dou Zong and above.

It should be noted that Low-Grade Spirit Artifact with Purple Word Seal generally only have an attack power of around 400.

The Blood Roar Blade was upgraded to a higher level, resulting in a 389-point increase in attack power and an additional 5% increase in its Armor Break attribute.

The weapon attacks of top-tier players are merely an "additional boost" to Yang Shan's weapon.

The difference is obvious.

Of course, the most crucial thing is to relax the "restrictions".

Even if Yang Shan really reaches the Dou Zong level, the Blood Roar Blade can still provide Yang Shan with the full boost!

Judging from Yang Shan's current development, it is highly likely that he will reach the Dou Zong two versions later.

With one upgrade, Yang Shan won't have to worry about weapon strength for two major updates.

Yang Shan plans to stockpile more Red Sand Essence Ore so he can make a fortune in the next version!

For this reason, Yang Shan specially preserved a screenshot of the Blood Roar Blade's panel when it was a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

Only a comparison can get those rich people excited! The upgrade of the Blood Roar Blade brought Yang Shan's attack stat close to the 3,000 mark, and his attack rating returned to its Five-Colored Word Seal!

Yang Shan sheathed the Blood Roar Blade Sheath, which he had just cleaned. "Let's go."

Yun Yun couldn't help but feel a little excited. She unconsciously raised her voice and ordered, "Everyone, follow me back to the Misty Cloud Sect!"

Half an hour later.

The forces of the New Misty Cloud Sect, Mitier, Nalan, and the Imperial Family princess all gathered together.

Before carrying out this operation, Yang Shan made a point of informing his other allies.

Try to minimize the number of NPCs involved in combat.

Because what those NPCs who Dou Wang and Dou Ling can do, the current main player base can also do!

If these NPCs are gone, players who are on good terms with them will have to go to great lengths to revive them.

Because of this, Yang Shan's image in the minds of many players has become even more impressive.

That's a very thoughtful and comprehensive consideration.

Therefore, there were fewer than 500 NPCs participating in this operation.

Of these 500 people, 300 were brought out by Yun Yun from the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yang Shan could not stop them from following Yun Yun to regain control of the Misty Cloud Sect.

As for the number of players, it reached 100,000! In fact, the number of players from the Imperial Family, Mitier, and Nalan Family was far more than that, but they had to act as quickly and secretly as possible.

Therefore, other players will receive relevant missions from their respective factions when the main force is about to reach the territory of the Misty Cloud Sect, and then rush to the battlefield.

As more players received their quests, they headed towards the Misty Cloud Sect in a grand procession.

Those forces that were not involved must have received the news as well.

Unfortunately, it was too late! Yang Shan, Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, Hai Bodong, Xiao Aotian, Ye Suifeng.

Six Dou Emperor led the way! Chao Bafang, Zhu Tianpeng, Li Batian, Yu Feifei joined forces with Yao Ye, Yao Yue, Mitier Tengshan, and Nalan Jie to command the central army.

Yao Ye originally had the talent to lead troops and also served as the commander of the Imperial Guard in the Imperial Family.

Nalan Jie was the Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire.

With two people in charge, the player group was divided into numerous small groups, each with its own specific role.

Fight your way up to Misty Cloud Mountain!

Inside the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Leng stumbled and staggered to Yun Shan's side. "Old Sect Master, Yun Yun and Yang Shan have already stormed the mountain! What should we do? What should we do?"

"What's the panic!"

Yun Shan rebuked, "Neither Jia Xingtian Fa Ma are here, what are you panicking for? With me here, how could Misty Cloud Sect be destroyed?"

Yun Leng didn't panic, then something was really wrong. "Sect Master, those two lords aren't here, we, we..."

"Shut up!"

Yun Shan's face was contorted with rage:

"Protector Wu, Cheng E, ha! Did you really think that without you, our sect couldn't protect Misty Cloud Sect? It's good that you're gone! It's best that you're gone!"

Yun Shan stomped his foot, shattering the floor tiles of the main hall.

His figure moved like the wind, soaring through the air to the outside of the palace.

At this point, chaos had broken out halfway up the mountain.

Everywhere you look, there is only carnage!

Yun Shan gathered his strength and shouted, "Yang Shan! Come out and see me!"

As the words spread, Yang Shan and Yun Yun flew over together.

Upon seeing Yun Shan again, Yun Yun was extremely agitated. "Master."

"Shut up! You traitor! I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now!"

Despite Yun Yun having broken through to the Six Star Dou Emperor, Yun Yun Shan still didn't take her seriously.

He knew Yun Yun Yun's abilities perfectly well, and was even more familiar with the weaknesses in her Dou Technique.

If the two were to fight, Yun Shan was confident that he could take Yun Yun's head within three moves!

In Yun Shan's eyes, there was only Yang Shan.

Because only Yang Shan could threaten him! Yun Shan said in a deep voice, "Yang Shan, Blade Sovereign, although we have fought in the Serpent-People tribe, we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other! Why do you want to oppose my sect?"

Yang Shan said helplessly, "Sect Master Yun Shan, you don't need to ask questions you already know the answer to. Just surrender."

Yun Shan's face turned bright red with anger:

"Traitor! It's all your fault! The path for the Misty Cloud Sect to dominate the Northwest Continent has been cut short by your hand!"

After being reprimanded by Yun Shan, Yun Yun seemed to habitually lower her head and dared not speak.

Yang Shan placed his hand on Yun Yun's Yun Yun to ease her pain. "We have to face this eventually, so cheer up."

"I know, I've been preparing for this day for a long time."

Yun Yun raises her head, bravely meeting the gaze of the clouds and Yun Shan:

"Master, I cannot watch Misty Cloud Sect be destroyed in your hands. Consider this my last plea: surrender."

"Impossible! After decades of dormancy, I have broken through to the Dou Zong, which means I am already qualified to become a top expert in the Northwest Continent! Those below the Dou Zong are all ants. You think you can make me surrender?"

Seeing his years of plans come to naught in an instant was a blow that Yun Shan simply could not accept.

Yun Shan said angrily, "You rebellious disciple, it's all your fault! Why did you disobey the sect? If you had stayed in the Misty Cloud Sect, the sect could have betrothed you to Yang Shan! You and Yang Shan were supposed to help the sect reach the top of the Northwest Continent, but you've ruined it all!"

Yun Yun trembled all over.

With a whoosh, she drew her sword and thrust it towards Yun Shan:

"So even if I sincerely stay by your side, am I just a pawn in your plan to use for a marriage alliance?"
