A Civilized Duel: Eager to Hand Over Money

"Oh dear, True Lord Yang, please don't be anxious! That Earth Demon Old Ghost is the founder of Demon Flame Valley. He's in seclusion most of the year and rarely shows himself!"

"As the sect leader of the Mysterious Eagle Sect, Old Man Ying Shan dared not leave the sect rashly. Otherwise, the Mysterious Eagle Sect might be taken advantage of by other forces!"

Su Mei had prepared many excuses, whether it was deception or trickery, she was determined to get Yang Shan to oversee the Bloodshed Alliance.

Or at the very least, they shouldn't be lured away by Demon Flame Valley or Mysterious Eagle Sect.

But despite all her calculations, Su Mei hadn't anticipated that "Blade Sovereign" would lack even the slightest bit of the resolve of a true expert.

Upon hearing about the two major powers, they immediately began to take their leave!

Although the Bloodshed Alliance's true reliance is on Hun Dan and Luo Xie, they should avoid taking action unless absolutely necessary.

The Bloodshed Alliance has been developing quite well recently. Su Mei, who has received a large supply of resources, has reached the Eight Star Dou Huang, while Yin Gu Lao and Fan Lao have reached the Seven Star Dou Huang.

With this lineup, it's still not enough to deal with Demon Flame Valley and Mysterious Eagle Sect.

The Bloodshed Alliance is missing someone to keep things in check.

Yang Shan is not Dou Zong, but he has killed Dou Zong! Furthermore, Yang Shan has extremely high prestige in the Black-Corner Region.

Yang Shan is the most suitable person to be used to keep order for the Bloodshed Alliance.

Su Mei was absolutely against Yang Shan leaving! But because of Yang Shan's actions, Su Mei only had one option left.

Yang Shan chuckled inwardly:

"Come on, throw some Spirit Crystal in my face!"

"True Lord, everything can be discussed. With your abilities, as long as the Earth Demon Old Ghost and Old Man Ying Shan do not make a move, you will be invincible! If the Earth Demon Old Ghost and Old Man Ying Shan do make a move, then I will accept it. If you retreat, I will not hold you accountable!"

Su Mei looked sincere, and Yang Shan pretended to ponder for a moment before finally sighing, "Alright, since Sect Leader Su is so sincere, then I will talk to Sect Leader Su some more."

Su Mei saw Yang Shan sit back down in his chair without saying a word, and she thought to herself with displeasure.

Want to chat?

Just wait for her to name her price! Su Mei knew that this Bloodshed Alliance would require a huge sacrifice! Su Mei didn't give Yang Shan a chance to make an exorbitant demand, and first stated her own price:

"I see that True Lord has already reached the Nine Star Dou Huang, so he must be quite interested in Variant Spirit Crystal. Our Bloodshed Alliance now controls two Spirit Stone Mine and has accumulated some resources. Just a few days ago, a sixth-tier Thunder Spirit Crystal was unearthed from the old mine! I can make the decision to reserve the right to exchange Thunder Spirit Crystal for True Lord."

In any NPC faction, there is always a principle of "giving and receiving," which is the fundamental rule of the game, Yang Shan cannot circumvent it.

However, if his current status and position are only worth the priority exchange right of a sixth-tier Thunder Spirit Crystal, then that is really too cheap.

Yang Shan expressed his attitude simply.

"Farewell!"

"Hey! True Lord, don't go! True Lord, please feel free to make any requests you may have. We can discuss it, we can discuss it!"

Don't be fooled by Su Mei's cheerful smile; her back was already soaked with sweat.

Communicating with Yang Shan is really exhausting and tests your mentality.

They would just say goodbye at the drop of a hat.

Unfortunately, Su Mei has no choice but to go along with Yang Shan now.

Hearing Su Mei admit defeat, Yang Shan sat down again.

Su Mei was still thinking of keeping the initiative in her hands.

What a joke! Now it's Yang Shan's turn to name his price!

True Lord Yang's asking price was not as stingy as Su Mei's.

"I require Seventh Order Variant Spirit Crystal and Essence Spirit Crystal!"

"Impossible!"

Su Mei almost instinctively uttered those three words, but seeing Yang Shan's displeased expression, Su Mei quickly explained:

"True Lord, the reason I say it's impossible is because our Bloodshed Alliance currently only has some of the most common Seventh Order Spirit Crystal. We don't have a single Essence Spirit Crystal, let alone any exotic spirit Essence Spirit Crystal Variant Spirit Crystal!"

Yang Shan: "Just because we don't have any now doesn't mean we won't have any in the future. The Bloodshed Alliance owns two major mines, so why would we be afraid of not being able to dig out good stuff?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mei's eyes lit up. "True Lord, you're willing to take action?"

Yang Shan: "I won't make things difficult for you. From now on, all the Seventh Order Spirit Crystal mined from the two major mines that I can use will be kept for me! Of course, I'm not one to break the rules. You get what you put in, and I'll reciprocate with my contributions!"

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mei nodded:

"Alright, let's do as True Lord Yang says!"

Yang Shan: "There's one more thing!"

Su Mei: "Please give your orders, True Lord!"

Yang Shan: "I want that sixth-order Thunder Spirit Crystal too! In addition, you need to prepare two sets of sixth-order Precious Grade Foundation Spiritual Object for me, of the same attribute, either lightning or fire!"

Su Mei nodded. "The Secret Treasure Vault happens to have some, but True Lord, your current contributions are still far from sufficient."

Yang Shan stood up:

"The contribution will be made naturally. I'm heading to White Stone Mountain now!"

Su Mei was pleasantly surprised:

"Then everything depends on the True Lord!"

Yang Shan now only needs to ensure that he can get what he wants from the Bloodshed Alliance.

The vanguard of Demon Flame Valley and Mysterious Eagle Sect has already approached White Stone Mountain.

However, they did not launch a rash attack, but instead chose to garrison there.

After all, the Spirit Stone Mine is the most important resource point, and the Bloodshed Alliance has dispatched a large number of people to protect it.

The advance troops were mainly used for intelligence gathering and frontline deployment; to launch an attack, they had to wait for the main force to arrive.

The "Big Shot Gathering Camp" was exceptionally noisy.

Jin Shankao: "@Xiao Aotian, @Yi Qingyang, you guys are a bit slow. We've already set up defenses at White Stone Mountain and are waiting for your arrival!"

Yu Feifei: "You dare to plot against our Bloodshed Alliance? This time, we'll show you that the girls of the Meteor Association are just as capable as any man!"

Yu Feifei: "@Yang Shan, idol, idol, are you coming? You should come, right? Without you, we Meteor Association feel insecure!"

Ye Suifeng: "No! President Yu, look at me, I'm handsome, fast, have superb swordsmanship, and I'm incredibly strong. Aren't you reassuring enough?"

Yu Feifei: "@Ye Suifeng, can you beat Xiao Aotian?"

Ye Suifeng: "."

Yang Shan: "I'll help the Bloodshed Alliance."

Ye Suifeng: "Hahaha, the boss is carrying me!"

Yu Feifei: "An idol is indeed an idol. Just five words are enough to give me a huge sense of security!"

Xiao Aotian: "@Yang Shan, I knew it, I would eventually have to fight you!"

Yi Qingyang: "@Yang Shan, uh, Brother Yang, can we make a deal? How about we have a literary contest this time?"

Yang Shan: "A battle of wits? Tell me about it."

Yi Qingyang: "I will arrange for the brothers of Shu Xian Lou to wear uniforms. If you encounter them, please show mercy. As long as you break their Dou Qi Armor, they will not attack again. I would appreciate it if you would be lenient, Brother Yang. I will give each person five hundred yuan, is that alright?"

Xiao Aotian: "Damn, you're so willing to spend money?"

Yi Qingyang: "Sigh, the death penalty in the Black-Corner Region is too severe. Being able to exchange 500 yuan for a three-star member is already a huge profit."

Yang Shan: "@Yi Qingyang, is it 500 per person? Or 500 per person per visit? Explain yourself!"

Yi Qingyang: "One person!"

If each person only has 500 yuan, then with the current staff of 500 people at Shu Xian Lou, Yang Shan can earn at most 250,000 yuan.

It's only a few dollars. If it's a single person using it once, then you can "swipe" more.

Yang Shan: "It's possible, but I heard that your Shu Xian Lou has recently recruited several Dou Emperor from the Mysterious Eagle Sect! Dou Emperor are only worth five hundred?"

Yi Qingyang: "Twenty thousand!"

Yang Shan: "As the president of Shu Xian Lou, you've consistently been in the top ten of the Combat Power Rankings, so your three-star level..."

Yi Qingyang was almost in tears. "Brother Yang, there is no toad in the Chinese zodiac, how can you be a toad?"

Yang Shan: "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. Fifty thousand!"

Yi Qingyang: "Deal!"

Xiao Aotian: "Hey hey hey! How did it go through? Mycelium Bro! I also want to participate in the literary duel!"

Since they were so eager to give him money, it wouldn't be right to refuse. Yang Shan readily agreed, "Sure, but your life will cost 100,000."

Xiao Aotian: "I understand, after all, I'm the Second Under Heaven, hahaha!"

Jin Shankao, "Sigh, this is actually a good idea. We can fight amongst ourselves, but we shouldn't let it get too bad. Otherwise, if things go wrong, the other guilds won't wait for us to recover!"

Yang Shan: "Let's set the rules, but let's make this clear first: I can't always stop myself. If I kill someone, they're out of luck!"

Having a wide network of connections has many advantages.

Yang Shan never imagined he could generate income this way! As the saying goes, problems that can be solved with money are minor problems!

With the rule of "literary debate," the internal strife among the various guilds in the group will result in far fewer losses in the future.

If Yang Shan just needs to stop in time each time, he should be able to earn an extra one or two million! After turning off the communication, Yang Shan contacted Jin Shankao and Yu Feifei privately.

When Yang Shan arrived at White Stone Mountain, Jin Shankao, Ye Suifeng, Yu Feifei, and Mei Yangyang were already waiting at the agreed location.

Ye Suifeng God Yang his hands together. "Hehe, thanks a lot for carrying me!"

Yang Shan smiled nonchalantly, "We're all friends, no need to be so formal. How much you can pick up depends on your own abilities."

Yang Shan robbed Black Moon Ridge a few days ago. Although he killed quite a few magical beasts, they were all sixth-tier after all.

Even with three times the experience gain efficiency, Yang Shan still needs about 800,000 more experience points to fill his experience bar.

Yang Shan also happened to be short of Contribution Points to exchange for Spirit Crystal.

So he set his sights on the vanguard forces of Demon Flame Valley and Mysterious Eagle Sect.

Within the map area of Faction Blood War, you can earn Contribution Points by killing enemy personnel! Based on current intelligence, there are no particularly powerful figures in the current advance force.

The strongest among them is Xie Zhen, the fourth elder of Demon Flame Valley, who has only just broken through to the Seven Star Dou Huang.

Yang Shan planned to launch a sweeping attack before the main forces of the two major powers arrived, and collect all the contribution points and experience.

Then he made a quick escape, accumulating an "Supreme Foundation," and then broke through to the Dou Zong.

At that time, with the Realm Suppression balanced, he wouldn't be intimidated even by Old Man Ying Shan! Even if the Earth Demon Old Ghost came and he couldn't defeat him, he could still escape with ease.

At that time, Yang Shan will use Xiao Aotian Yi Qingyang to "make money"! One person, one time, 100,000 each, and one person, 50,000 each.

As long as these two dare to be stubborn, Yang Shan can make them bleed profusely!

Of course, Yang Shan has always been loyal and would always think of his friends when good things happen.

Yang Shan could pull off a sweeping victory, but he was ultimately only one person and could not possibly annihilate the entire advance force of over 50,000 men.

There will inevitably be a large number of people who will flee when they see that things are not going well.

Let Jin Shankao and the others join in the fun, blocking several important escape routes. Yang Shan can take the opportunity to kill more, while the four of them can also get away with it and make a lot of Contribution Points.

Before long, the five of them had approached the camp of the vanguard of the Demon Flame Valley.

Although Demon Flame Valley and Mysterious Eagle Sect are cooperating this time, they are not completely in cahoots and are wary of each other, so they each set up camp in a different place.

Compared to the Mysterious Eagle Sect, the Demon Flame Valley was stronger and had more players, with its advance force numbering 30,000! After the other four had taken their positions according to the previous plan, Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Transformation Wings and appeared directly above the advance camp.

The pressure from the Nine Star Dou Huang was too overwhelming, and everyone in the advance camp subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The NPCs were alright, but the players inside the camp were completely terrified when they saw those Scarlet Wings.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"What brings Yang One-Blade here?"

"What's he going to do? Is he going to attack us?"

"No! How could he dare to do that all by himself?"

"He's Blade Sovereign! Blade Sovereign! What wouldn't he dare to do?"

"Grenade in the left hand, fire in the right, ha, GG!"

Honestly, when facing Yang Shan, aside from those with an exceptionally stubborn personality like Xiao Aotian, very few players don't feel hopeless.

Everyone here is a player, but Yang Shan is the only one who can pull off a one-hit kill!

And usually, they can wipe out a whole group in a second! As the Sea Heart Flame descends, the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning follow closely behind.

Overload is just one of Yang Shan's starting moves, but this technique, which only requires four points of Dou Qi to execute, is already more powerful than the ultimate moves of many top-tier players! The key is that this advance camp has a large area because there are too many people.

An Overload explosion can only cover one-tenth of the area.

After Yang Shan landed the first Overload, he immediately caught the second one! Then came the third, and the fourth Human-shaped Bomber reappeared in the Black-Corner Region!

Just then, a figure soared into the sky.

It was Xie Zhen, the fourth elder of Demon Flame Valley and Seven Star Dou Huang!

Xie Zhen had never met Yang Shan before, so he didn't recognize Yang Shan at first, but the aura emanating from Yang Shan made Xie Zhen very wary.

"Sir, you attacked without a word. Don't you think you're showing a lot of disrespect to Demon Flame Valley?"

Yang Shan didn't even bother to look at Xie Zhen, and muttered, "Old Mo, kill him!"

Ink Iron Marshal appeared from Yang Shan's Storage Ring, wielding Crescent Moon Blade, and charged towards Xie Zhen! Yang Shan was having a great time right now and couldn't let any Tom, Dick, or Harry spoil his fun.

Mowing the lawn is so satisfying! Hehehe!

Yu Feifei, who was blocking an escape route, looked at Yang Shan with eyes full of admiration. "Wow, my idol is so domineering!"

Mei Yangyang couldn't help but lick her lips. "Even more domineering than Liu Qing!"

Ten consecutive Overload covered the entire camp.

Coincidentally, the aftershocks of the first Overload attack had already dissipated in the affected area.

Yang Shan's current normal Overload damage is around 80,000, while the Dou Qi Armor Vitality Shield of Dou Wang players can generally reach 100,000.

So we need to use an Overload to finish them off.

Just as Yang Shan was about to make his move and reap the Contribution Points, the scorching heat rising from behind caused the Sea Heart Flame burning in Yang Shan's right hand to sway slightly.

"Behold my Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
