Wang Chen's Brilliant Scheme
The space inside the Tyrant Blade Ruins is not considered vast.
If we only consider the ground area, it is roughly equivalent to about ten football fields.
If you look from a high place, you can see the boundary at a glance.
The ground is covered with vegetation, but not a single patch of green can be found on the mountain in the very center.
There are a total of thirty-seven towers, arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, from the top of the mountain to the bottom.
Of the thirty-seven towers, thirty-one were emitting a faint glow.
The most conspicuous was the one on the mountaintop, shining the brightest! Each of the three great families had about ten people, each going their own way, seemingly wary of each other.
However, the Gongsun Family and the Shangguan Family were positioned on the left and right respectively, sandwiching the Yuchi Family in the middle.
According to what Yang Shan had heard and inquired about at the Alluring Beauties Pavilion, if any conflict arose between the three great families, the Gongsun and Shangguan Family would immediately join forces to besiege and kill the Yuchi Family.
Yuchi Xing, the Three Young Masters master of the Yuchi Family, is still unaware of what's happening. He's explaining things to his elder brother, who is hiding his identity, beside him:
"Our three great families have already explored the area around this secret realm twice, finding only some inconspicuous common medicinal herbs. These thirty-seven towers should be the location of all the inheritances within this secret realm!"
"The rules in this secret realm are quite strict. Each time you enter, you can only choose one tower. Whether you succeed or fail, you cannot go to other towers."
"Brother Wang, look! Those six towers at the foot of the mountain that aren't glowing are the ones we took after the first two times the secret realm opened. Some of them even contain sixth-tier Foundation Spiritual Object!"
"Sixth rank?"
The way Brother Wang looked at Yuchi Xing revealed contempt:
"I need a sixth-tier Foundation Spiritual Object?"
Yuchi Xing: "Brother Wang is a genius. His foundation as Dou Emperor is already perfected. Breaking into the Dou Zong is only a matter of time, so there's no need for that. Brother Wang can try going to the mountainside."
"Halfway up the mountain? You mean I should go halfway up the mountain?"
Sensing his brother's displeasure, Yuchi Xing smiled wryly:
"Brother Wang, that mountain is very strange. Even at the foot of the mountain, there is an inexplicable pressure. The higher we go, the more obvious the pressure becomes. The first two times we went, we could only reach a height of twenty zhang. Some people tried to climb further, but when they reached thirty zhang, they vomited blood and could not even stand up, let alone enter the tower to pass the test!"
This mountain is about 100 zhang high.
A height of about fifty zhang (approximately 150 meters) is considered halfway up the mountain.
It is evident that the first two attempts by the three major families to pass the test were extremely unsuccessful.
Brother Wang paused for a moment before speaking:
"Then I'll try to get to the halfway point."
In reality, Brother Wang already looked down on Yuchi Xing.
The three great families?
Three Young Masters? What the hell!
Can you even compare to him?
Brother Wang has made up his mind to go to the mountain peak, break through the tower, and retrieve the most precious treasure in this secret realm!
The conversation between Brother Wang and Yuchi Xing was overheard by Yang Shan's clone from behind.
Yang Shan's true identity is quite far removed from the members of the three major families.
Under the cover of the dense forest and the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, no one discovered that a Dou Zong had actually come to this secret realm! Yang Shan now needs to consider whether he can only choose one tower, even though he has the Mysterious Chapter of the "Tyrant Blade" and has received certain preferential treatment.
Yang Shan decided to take another look.
When Old Schemer, you must not be impatient! Since the secret realm is not large, the teams from the three major families quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Shangguan Song and Gongsun Lin exchanged a glance, and then Shangguan Song shouted:
"Gongsun Lin, we didn't get to a conclusion last time at the Alluring Beauties Pavilion. How about we take a gamble this time?"
Gongsun Lin: "What are we betting on?"
Shangguan Song: "Let's see which side gets more treasures! Whoever wins gets Xiao Hong!"
Gongsun Lin said with great enthusiasm:
"Come on, who's afraid of who!"
The two of them used a very lame excuse and led their men up the mountain.
Only the members of the Yuchi Family remained standing in the same spot.
Brother Wang smiled sinisterly:
"Heh, Brother Yuchi, it seems you're being targeted!"
Yuchi Xing had at least seen through some of the clues.
Shangguan Song and Gongsun Lin may have joined forces! "Those two bastards, Brother Wang, what should we do?"
Brother Wang appeared very calm. "They probably want everyone to take over all the towers in the lower areas together, while we either have to wait for them to fail in their attempt to break through the towers, or we can only continue to climb higher and endure more pressure."
"And they, regardless of success or failure, can assemble in advance, so that when one of our side comes out, they will surround and attack one of us!"
Brother Wang's analysis was very logical, and Yuchi Xing nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"In that case, let's do it the other way around!"
Brother Wang appeared to be in complete control of the situation:
"Although they all entered the trial at the same time, they will definitely not emerge at the exact same time. Brother Yuchi, you should stop trying for now and wait here with your men. Whoever comes out, surround and kill them! That way, you can get your hands on all the inheritances!"
Hiding in the shadows, Yang Shan, who had overheard the entire conversation between his brother Wang and Yuchi Xing, nodded repeatedly.
Brother Wang's plan is truly excellent and very practical! Yuchi Xing: "Brother Wang, what a brilliant plan! Then, Brother Wang, you..."
Brother Wang smiled and said, "I'll go challenge the tower first. Once I obtain the inheritance, I'll be able to deal with those two families more easily."
"Brother Wang is right!"
Yuchi Xing salute. "Then I wish you a triumphant return, Your Highness!"
At this moment, the Shangguan Family and the Gongsun Family have almost found their respective targets.
Just as Brother Wang predicted, they occupied all the land at the foot of the mountain.
From the foot of the mountain upwards, at a height of five zhang (approximately 10 meters), there are only ten pagodas in total.
Four of them already had their treasures taken.
With about twenty people left, they had no choice but to go up.
Shangguan Song secretly ordered, "Quickly occupy the towers, and don't be greedy!"
Despite his words, Shangguan Song kept striving to climb higher.
Gongsun Lin's actions were consistent with those of Shangguan Song.
Under immense pressure, Gongsun Lin gritted his teeth and said, "How could you bunch of good-for-nothings compare to me? I will surpass my elder brothers and become the young master of the family!"
Gongsun Lin shouted slogans loudly, but after taking only a few steps uphill, he casually lay down on the ground.
Gongsun Lin was at least Six Star Dou Emperor Huang, but he walked too fast and lost his footing.
The veins on his forehead bulged:
"Pressure, this pressure is so strong!"
Gongsun Lin probably reached a height of about seventeen zhang.
Shangguan Song was no better than Gongsun Lin.
The height difference between the two people needs to be measured with a ruler to determine who is taller or shorter.
The two exchanged a glance.
Although they formed a secret alliance, the two were actually competing with each other.
In the end, the two had no choice but to roll to the nearest tower.
A white light appeared at the tower entrance, shining on the two people, who then disappeared from the spot.
At this time, Brother Wang also began his mountain climbing journey.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he immediately felt an extraordinary, chilling aura coming towards him.
There wasn't even a breeze around, yet Brother Wang felt his face being blown upwards.
"As expected of the Dou Zun's legacy, its methods are indeed profound!"
At this moment, the elder brother no longer concealed himself; he took off the black robe that had been covering him.
This person looks young, but has a noticeable scar on his left cheek, which makes his face look somewhat fierce.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings, only fit to struggle at the foot of the mountain. Take a good look at the difference between you and geniuses!"
Brother Wang walks with incredible speed.
He swept past a Five Star Dou Emperor who was still trying to climb higher, and casually unleashed a Palm Force.
The pitch-black Dou Qi seemed to have a special corrosive effect. The Five Star Dou Emperor fell to the ground and howled in pain as his flesh and blood gradually melted, revealing his stark white bones.
Brother Wang grinned maliciously:
"Before I die, I'll let you die knowing the truth. The one who killed you is Wang Chen of the Yellow Spring Pavilion!"
Yang Shan, who was hiding in the back, suddenly realized.
No wonder he always felt that this Brother Wang was an NPC from the original story! It turns out he's Wang Chen, the genius from the Yellow Spring Pavilion!
Wang Chen only appeared twice in the original novel, and his storyline is a typical example of "getting slapped in the face by the protagonist".
But that doesn't mean that the person who gets slapped in the face by the protagonist isn't powerful.
On the contrary, those who get slapped in the face by the protagonist usually have some skills.
Take Wang Chen for example. He is the personal disciple of "Yellow Spring Venerable of the Yellow Spring Pavilion, one of the " Four Directions Pavilion." Among his peers in the Yellow Spring Pavilion, he is absolutely number one.
When Wang Chen first met Xiao Yan, he was at the same level as Xiao Yan!
At the "Four Directions Pavilion Assembly", Wang Chen also represented the Yellow Spring Pavilion as the number one genius in the competition.
When Wang Chen announced his name, Yang Shan was able to see his entire profile.
All the "?" in the panel have been replaced with data or text descriptions.
But Wang Chen's panel actually went from Golden Word Seal to ""Golden; Rising" Character Imprint"! But that makes sense, considering that the strongest geniuses of the Four Directions Pavilion in the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly are: Feng Qing'er, Mu Qingluan, Tang Ying, and Wang Chen.
Feng Qing'er's true form is the Heavenly Demon Phoenix with the bloodline of Ancient Beast.
Mu Qingluan's true form, the Sky Luan, also possesses the bloodline of Ancient Beast! The two women's inscriptions must both be multicolored.
Tang Ying and Wang Chen are naturally far inferior to them, but if it is just an ordinary Golden Word Seal, then it is somewhat mismatched with their status.
Wang Chen is extremely arrogant!
There are about twenty towers along the road from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point.
This includes six locations where treasures have already been taken.
The Shangguan and Gongsun families sent a total of 34 people this time, so more than half of them were unable to enter the tower.
Therefore, in Wang Chen's view, these people were no longer useful.
Staying behind will only cause problems in future plans.
Therefore, Wang Chen directly and ruthlessly killed him.
At least half of these people were hired by the Shangguan and Gongsun families and had no loyalty to them whatsoever.
Seeing how ruthless Wang Chen was, they all began to beg for mercy, but Wang Chen seemed to be enjoying himself and ignored the pleas of these "ants".
They kill without burying! Unfortunately, these people are now in a very awkward position. They are under considerable pressure, and their Dou Qi circulation is also problematic. They can only be slaughtered at will.
Wang Chen truly lived up to his reputation as a genius valued by Dou Zun; his journey was as smooth as walking on flat ground.
Kill as you go!
Yuchi Xing, standing at the foot of the mountain, was practically having a brain orgasm from watching this!
With Brother Wang looking after us, we're sure to make a killing this time!
Wang Chen lived up to his genius status, rushing all the way to the halfway point of the mountain before slowing down.
At this moment, Wang Chen felt that he could hardly breathe.
This greatly surprised him.
"I, Wang Chen, possess the potential to become Dou Zun Dou Zun inheritance stop me halfway up the mountain?"
"This is impossible! This is impossible!"
He had already made his statement, and with so many people watching from behind, if he stopped halfway up the mountain, where would he put the face of the number one genius of the Yellow Spring Pavilion? Wang Chen forcibly withstood the pressure and roared, "What a joke! I, Wang Chen, am the future Dou Zun!"
Sometimes roaring is childish, but sometimes it seems to really unleash potential.
Despite the pressure, Wang Chen stubbornly charged forward another five zhang.
At a height of fifty-five zhang, there are still forty-five zhang to the summit.
But Wang Chen already felt like his bones were about to be crushed.
Wang Chen regained his composure and realized that this was almost his limit.
Although we didn't make it to the top of the mountain.
But looking back at the people from the two great families of Shangguan and Gongsun, they couldn't even climb twenty zhang.
Looking at Yuchi Xing at the foot of the mountain, his mouth was so big it could almost fit an ostrich egg; he was practically kneeling down to worship Wang Chen!
"Useless indeed, useless!"
Wang Chen sneered, found the nearest tower, and crawled inside.
At the foot of the mountain, Yuchi Xing also began to make arrangements. "Everyone, hide! If anyone comes down the mountain, kill them on sight!"
Yuchi Xing still has a brain.
If those who come out of the tower see the people at the foot of the mountain, all of them looking fierce and menacing, they probably won't dare to come down.
They'll have to brave the pressure to climb the mountain, and that will be incredibly physically demanding.
But just as Yuchi Xing turned around...
He saw a cluster of flames.
An absurd thought even flashed through his mind:
"These flames are so beautiful, and the lightning is quite pretty too, hmm?"
Boom!
The collision of lightning and fire instantly engulfed more than a dozen members of the Yuchi Family.
Yuchi Xing used his Dou Qi Armor to protect himself, and his Dou Qi Transformation Wings to take flight, forcibly leaving the blast radius, but he felt someone put their hand on his shoulder.
"Who!"
Before Yuchi Xing could react further, his Dou Qi Light Wings seemed to support a towering mountain.
He couldn't fly at all! Just like that, Yuchi Xing was pressed back to the ground from mid-air by a single hand.
Yuchi Xing mechanically turned his head to the side, forcing a smile, "Senior, what can I do for you?"
Yuchi Xing was so panicked he almost peed himself! "Damn it, why is there Dou Zong in this secret realm?"
Yuchi Xing was merely Six Star Dou Emperor with Purple Word Seal; in front of Yang Shan, he was just a nobody who could be easily manipulated.
Yang Shan said coldly, "Go up, fifteen zhang, find a tower, bring the treasure back, and you can live."
"Senior, I am from the Yuchi Family."
Before Yuchi Xing could finish speaking, he saw a huge, dark mass of demonic beasts overhead, their mouths wide open.
All the beasts roared in unison!
The Dou Emperor behind the Yuchi Family didn't even have time to utter a wail before collapsing to the ground, their lives extinguished.
"The Yuchi Family? Never heard of them!"
Yang Shan pushed Yuchi Xing forward. "You can try to resist, I'll give you a chance."
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Xing Xing's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
"It seems there's no need for you to go up there!"
"Senior, please don't make a move! This junior will go right away! Right away!"
Fearing he might lose his life if he was too slow, Yuchi Xing scrambled up the mountain as fast as he could.
With a casual wave of his hand, Yang Shan collected all the fallen items into his Storage Ring.
This Yuchi Xing is truly overestimating himself, daring to steal the job from me Blade Sovereign! Let him go and challenge the tower, get some good stuff, and extract some remaining value! The Dou Zun Remains should have decent stuff.
