Joining the Bloodshed Alliance

"Special Mode for Faction Identity!" Yang Shan was a little confused when he saw this.

This mode never appeared in the previous life!

Is Tian Yao Company really that bold? So many changes in this version? Yang Shan had no time for idle chatter and quickly opened the "Player Handbook" to find the relevant descriptions.

"Special Faction Identity Mode" is a unique gameplay mode currently only available in the Black-Corner Region.

After joining a major power in the Black-Corner Region, one's status will be strictly divided into five levels: retainer, elder, deacon, key personnel, and ordinary personnel.

There are no special arrangements for key personnel and regular staff.

However, if you manage to reach the position of steward in a faction, you will automatically gain a certain amount of faction contribution points every ten days of game time, and you will also receive additional bonus effects:

Experience points gained are increased by an additional 20%!

Comprehension and Good Fortune are temporarily increased by 2 points! If you are an Elder, in addition to the above-mentioned buffs, you will also receive an additional benefit: an extra 5% increase in Dou Technique performance!

This value is not constant, but is adjusted based on the resource points currently occupied by that faction.

Just like the faction with the most resource points right now: Demon Flame Valley.

If a player becomes the highest-ranking "offering" in Demon Flame Valley, they will immediately receive the following effect: an additional 40% increase in experience gain!

Comprehension and Good Fortune are temporarily increased by 15 points! Dou Technique effects are further increased by 20%!

In addition, starting from the steward level, you can get a certain discount when exchanging any game item with Contribution Points within the faction!

But!

The number of positions available for each faction, including those for worshippers, elders, and deacons, is limited.

Moreover, this quota will change in real time depending on the situation of the forces involved.

One second a player might be an elder of Demon Flame Valley, and the next second they might be a steward! After reading the whole thing, Yang Shan silently gave the Tianyao planning team a thumbs up.

If the excessively severe death penalties in the past led players who came to Black-Corner Region to choose a conservative development strategy...

Once this special mode is released, I doubt many players will be able to sit still.

The vast majority of players will fight for their own faction.

They even go to great lengths and rack their brains to acquire more resource points for their own forces.

Resource points are precisely the key to conflicts with other forces! Tian Yao Company's macro-control is masterful!

Yang Shan: "Zi Yan, forget it. I've thought about it, and it seems we've been a bit too hasty. The Ghoul Wolf Clan must also know that the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King has led a large force to Demon Flame City. If we pretend to be the Ghost Tiger Clan and ruthlessly kill them now, we might be exposed. We need to slow down."

Zi Yan bit her finger and pondered:

"That seems to make sense. So, where do we go next?"

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"Of course, we're going sightseeing!"

Zi Yan clapped her hands repeatedly:

"Alright, alright! The old man usually doesn't let me leave the Inner Courtyard, so I'm going to have some fun!"

After leaving Black Moon Ridge with Zi Yan, Yang Shan headed south.

Every time we passed through a city, I had to accompany Zi Yan to look around and explore.

Five days into the game, Yang Shan brought Zi Yan to Black Seal City.

Yang Shan had already logged off and rested a day earlier.

But Zi Yan hadn't rested much during her trip, and now, under the bright midday sun, Zi Yan was yawning constantly and feeling very sleepy.

This was, of course, intentional on Yang Shan.

Playing for too long can get tiring.

Yang Shan immediately took Zi Yan to a luxury inn and put Zi Yan in the top-class room.

He then went to the Emperor's Room No. 2.

After sensing with his Soul Strength that Zi Yan was indeed asleep, Yang Shan left Ink Iron Marshal in the room and ordered that if Zi Yan encountered any danger, he should go and protect Zi Yan immediately! After all, in the Black-Corner Region, even sleeping is not necessarily safe.

Yang Shan left through the window, changed back into his "Cheng E Set," and went to the City Lord's Mansion, kicking open the gate to the backyard.

The commotion startled Su Mei so much that she immediately stood up from Luo Xie's lap. "Mister E!"

Luo Xie also quickly got up:

"Hey! Little Brother E, you're back! Why didn't you let me know?"

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"Sorry, Brother Luo, I interrupted your good time."

Luo Xie waved his hand. "It's alright, it's alright, I'll continue it in a bit."

Luo Xie's outspokenness drew Su Mei's sharp retort with her "waist-grabbing kung fu".

As expected, even women at the Dou Emperor level still most often put their hands on their hips when facing the man they love! Yang Shan: "Hun Dan you doing?"

Luo Xie: "I'm cultivating!"

Just as Luo Xie finished speaking, the Hun Dan door slammed open.

The scoundrel, his Hun Dan covered in lipstick marks, strode out with an air of superiority:

"Cool!"

Then, that Hun Dan saw Yang Shan.

The Hun Dan immediately fastened his still-loose belt and hurriedly said:

"Hey! Cheng E, why didn't you say you were back? I was cultivating too hard these past few days and just woke up. Look, I'm not even dressed properly."

Yang Shan: "It's alright, no need to explain. I've been holding it in for so long, and I finally reached the Dou Zong, can't I enjoy myself a bit?"

The Hun Dan exclaimed excitedly:

"I knew you wanted to too! Su Mei! Su Mei, hurry up and arrange it for our Mister E!"

Yang Shan: "No need, I don't have time. I came back this time to tell you that I'm going to leave the Black-Corner Region again for training in other places. I don't know when I'll be back."

Hun Dan asked in bewilderment, "Didn't you say that last time? Why come back and say it again?"

Yang Shan sneered:

"Do you think I wanted this? I hadn't even left the territory of the Black-Corner Region when I discovered someone."

Luo Xie: "Who?"

Yang Shan said in a deep voice, "Blade Sovereign!"

"The Blade Sovereign? Yang Shan?"

Hun Dan pondering:

"That Yang Shan was the most talented student in the Jia Nan Academy in a hundred years, back in Maple City! I remember now, I received news a while ago that Blade Sovereign, along with two Dou Wang, severely injured you in the Jia Ma Empire, and it was Protector Wu who rescued you?"

Yang Shan sneered:

"What a joke! Have the rumors gotten this far?"

Hun Dan nodded. "That makes sense. I don't believe that among the Dou Emperor, there's anyone who can cause you any major trouble."

Yang Shan: "There's no major trouble, but that Blade Sovereign is really powerful. Last time I was a little careless and got injured."

"What!"

The Hun Dan slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shattering the table on the floor.

Luo Xie was already used to it.

Every time Yang Shan comes back, this table has to be replaced.

"How dare you hurt my men! Where is that Blade Sovereign? I, this Young Master master, will kill him for you right now!"

Yang Shan glanced at Hun Dan: "Who told you to kill him? I want you to invite him to join the Bloodshed Alliance, and, as far as possible, make him a pillar of the Bloodshed Alliance!"

The Hun Dan was astonished:

"Seriously, Cheng E? Have you lost your mind?"

Yang Shan: "You're the one who's out of your mind!"

Luo Xie chimed in from the side, "I understand. What you mean is, Little Brother E, since Blade Sovereign is so powerful, why not put him to our use!"

"Exactly! You two can't act rashly. The Bloodshed Alliance still has too few top experts. That Blade Sovereign's ability is no less than mine. If we keep him in the Bloodshed Alliance, our development will be much smoother!"

Yang Shan continued:

"However, that Blade Sovereign is a glutton, so you'll have to put in a lot of effort to fill his belly."

Hun Dan casually said, "In short, it's about giving that Blade Sovereign as many resources and conveniences as possible, right?"

Luo Xie added, "But we haven't met Blade Sovereign before. If we offer him too much too soon, he might think we have ulterior motives. It would be better to give him a task that is obviously very profitable. If he completes it, he can be promoted to an elder without any special privileges!"

Even with "Cheng E" involved, Hun Dan and Luo Xie were willing to do as Yang Shan said, but the most basic rules still had to be followed.

Giving Yang Shan a task that would allow him to obtain an elder's seat was already the limit.

Yang Shan did not expect to become a worshipper directly.

It doesn't matter if you start as a regular member.

Anyway, he's very capable, so it won't be long before he gets promoted.

The key is to make Hun Dan and Luo Xie look at "Yang Shan" differently and give him more support.

After all, as the number one player of Battle Through the Heavens, Yang Shan's whereabouts always attract the attention of a large number of players.

It won't do for Yang Shan to remain silent for so long.

"Cheng E" is the one who can remain hidden for a long time.

Yang Shan intends to use his original identity and 100% combat power to forcefully help the Bloodshed Alliance carve out a place for themselves in the Black-Corner Region.

"By bringing in the Hero King Manor and the Meteor Association, I refuse to believe we can't raise that Hun Dan to the Dou Zong Peak!"

After reaching an agreement with Hun Dan and Luo Xie, Yang Shan left Black Seal City without stopping, then changed his clothes and returned.

Fortunately, Yang Shan was fast.

Most people simply can't manage to race against time like that.

Shortly after returning to the inn, Yang Shan heard a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, a maid from the inn bowed and said, "Sir, our leader of the Bloodshed Hall would like to invite you for a cup of tea. Would you do me the honor?"

Yang Shan said calmly, "The leader of the Bloodshed Hall? The Grand Leader?"

Maid: "It is the Third Alliance Leader."

Yang Shan did not reply, but instead walked to the next room and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Zi Yan rubbed her eyes, complaining:

"Yang Shan, what's wrong? I was sleeping soundly!"

Yang Shan laughed and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

Zi Yan's drowsiness vanished instantly. "It's delicious! Let's go!"

Yang Shan and Zi Yan followed the maid to a private room in the inn.

Inside the room, Su Mei stood up, her face respectful, and bowed slightly. "Su Mei, the Third Leader of the Bloodshed Alliance and the Sect Master of the Rakshasa Gate, greets Blade Sovereign!"

Yang Shan calmly pulled up a chair for Zi Yan to sit down first, then said indifferently, "The intelligence on the Bloodshed Alliance is good. Sect Leader Su, what business do you have with me?"

Su Mei smiled and said:

"I have long admired the reputation of Blade Sovereign. A few days ago, I learned that Blade Sovereign had left Jia Nan Academy. I wonder if True Lord One Blade has any intention of joining another force?"

Yang Shan answered almost without hesitation, "Yes! Demon Flame Valley."

Su Mei: "."
