Battle Imminent

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion in Black Seal City.

Su Mei, the leader of the Rakshasa Gate Sect, personally led a full twenty beautiful maids to stand in front of Hun Dan: "Young Master, do you see any that catch your eye?"

The Hun Dan crossed his Erlang, held the teapot, and took a sip.

"You, you, you, and you!"

He randomly picked four of the most attractive-looking ones. "The rest can leave!"

Su Mei smiled and said:

"Then I won't bother you any longer, Young Master. Please enjoy your meal."

After Su Mei and the other maids left, the Hun Dan rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"Shouldn't 'hehehe' be a sinister, wicked laugh? How come it sounds so lewd to you?"

The sudden echo in the courtyard startled Hun Dan. He looked towards the door and saw Yang Shan leaning against it, his arms crossed in front of his chest. His eyes, Unseeable through the holes in his mask, were particularly mocking.

"Cheng E? You little brat, you actually know how to come back!"

The Hun Dan rushed forward and punched Yang Shan in the shoulder. "I thought something had happened to you!"

Yang Shan: "What could be wrong with me? It's you who seems to have been slacking off lately!"

That Hun Dan was indignant when he heard that:

"What do you mean by slacking off? I'm at the Dou Zong Peak Young Master now, can't I even enjoy myself a bit?"

At this point, Hun Dan feigned a sigh, "This Young Master is about to break through the sect and enter the realm of the Venerable, and needs a large number of spiritual objects to build up his foundation. The Black-Corner Region can no longer accommodate this Young Master among men!"

Yang Shan glanced at the Hun Dan panel.

As expected of a seventh-grade Dou Di Bloodline, even though he has reached the Dou Zong Peak, he still has the ""Golden; Rising" Character Imprint" seal, which is even more powerful than the King of Beasts of the same level.

Judging from what that Hun Dan said, he probably wants to build his foundation to the "supreme" level. In that case, when he steps into the Dou Zun, he might even become a Five-Colored Word Seal! In the original work, only the Ancient Clan has a relatively detailed description of the bloodline situation of the eight major clans.

According to the standards of the Ancient Clan.

Among the new generation, Xiao Xun'er's bloodline is the strongest, followed by the "Four Great Commanders and Eight Great Leaders".

Of these twelve people, only Great Commander Gu Qingyang possessed the Ninth Grade Bloodline.

Ling Quan, the Ancient Clan genius who had met Yang Shan once and indirectly served as Yang Shan's henchman, was only the second to last among these twelve people, known as the "Seventh Commander." His bloodline was considered quite excellent among the sixth-rank individuals.

According to the original work, unless one possesses a divine or Ninth Grade Bloodline, the potential of Dou Di Bloodline will be limited to before reaching the Dou Sheng.

From this, we can infer that Hun Dan's Seventh Grade Bloodline is definitely not trash in the Soul Clan, and he may even have a chance to compete for a place in the top ten of the Soul Clan's new generation.

The Dou Di Bloodline is indeed powerful. I still remember that Hun Dan and Yang Shan were at roughly the same level back then.

Yang Shan, the number one player in Battle Through the Heavens, has been running around, using all sorts of schemes and plots to acquire resources, but he's only Three-Star Dou Zong yet.

All that Hun Dan had to do Smashing Bird Severing Thoughts, relying on the resources provided by the Bloodshed Alliance to cultivate. He'd already far surpassed Yang Shan, reaching the Dou Zong Peak! The Hun Dan patted Yang Shan on the shoulder:

"Little Brother E, you've worked hard all these years. Now I no longer need to lie Young Master. I'm going to return to Central Plains Young Master to see the LiezU. From now on, in the Soul Hall, Young Master will be your Young Master and your source of confidence!"

Yang Shan: "Then remember to leave me plenty of resources."

Hun Dan! "No problem! I'll just throw all the spiritual items you need for the Dou Zong stage at Young Master!"

Yang Shan raised an eyebrow. "Wow! Young Master, you are truly remarkable!"

Yang Shan's praise was much more pleasant to hear than Luo Xie's flattery; the Hun Dan was practically grinning from ear to ear.

"I know you're a little upset that I'm about to break through to the Dou Zun Young Master. Actually, your talent is already quite good; you just don't have the Dou Di Bloodline. Young Master believe you will definitely be able to break through to the Dou Zun in the future!"

Yang Shan: "When are you planning to leave?"

Hun Dan: "I was planning to go to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall to find you, but since you're back, I'll set off sooner rather than later. It's been so many years since I've been back. I wonder how my stupid dog brother is doing now. He'll be so happy to see me, hehehe!"

Yang Shan: "Before you leave, do me a favor."

That Hun Dan didn't even ask what he was supposed to do before agreeing.

"Between us, there's no need for help. Just say the word if you need Young Master to do anything!"

Yang Shan: "I have secretly formed an alliance with Blade Sovereign, and I need your help!"

"Yang Shan? Hmm. You know what, that Yang Shan is really quite strong. With him around when we were Bloodshed Alliance, Young Master and Luo Xie didn't have to worry about the Bloodshed Alliance's development much. He took care of all the tricky things!"

After saying that, Hun Dan couldn't help but ask, "You want to recruit him into the Soul Hall?"

Yang Shan shook his head:

"Yang Shan is now the Young Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, so he certainly won't join the Soul Hall."

Hun Dan:

"Wind and Thunder Pavilion? Joining such a force, what future is there to speak of!"

Yang Shan: "But after I formed an alliance with Yang Shan, Yang Shan confessed to me that his status as the Young Pavilion Master Fenglei Pavilion was not given to him by the current master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but by the founder of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

"The founder of the Sifeng Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"

The Hun Dan stroked his chin:

Who is it?

Yang Shan: "."

"Hun Dan!" he said irritably.

"Don't look at me so surprised. I used to live in the Soul World. How would I know who the founder of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was?"

Yang Shan: "I've never seen it either. Anyway, Yang Shan said that his master was at the Dou Zun Peak a thousand years ago."

Now it was the Hun Dan's turn to be surprised. "A thousand years ago, at the Dou Zun Peak? That kid Yang Shan is a successor of Dou Sheng?"

Then, the Hun Dan became suspicious again:

"That's not right, a successor of the Dou Sheng, and he only has this little strength?"

Yang Shan: "Yang Shan and I have both sworn an oath to heaven and earth. I don't think he would lie to me on this issue. It would be beneficial to build a good relationship with a successor of a Dou Sheng."

Hun Dan, nod.

"Understood. Your ally is my ally. Now, tell me, what exactly do you want Young Master to do?"

Yang Shan recounted the situation and the actions in detail.

The text emphasizes Han Feng's current status Soul Hall Protector.

After all, Yang Shan had wronged Han Feng a lot when he was under the identity of "Cheng E", and the two had a considerable grudge.

Yang Shan and Han Feng have a blood feud.

This operation will involve a confrontation with Han Feng, and Yang Shan is afraid that the Hun Dan will have reservations.

But the Hun Dan said:

Han Feng threw a chicken tail like a coin—who does he think he is! "He dared to offend you; in my eyes, he's already a dead man!"

Yang Shan corrected, "It was I who offended him back then."

Hun Dan: "You only offended him, but he wants to compete with you for the secret realm. In my eyes, he's already a dead man!"

Yang Shan cautioned, "You just need to follow the plan. No matter what good things are in that secret realm, you can't take them. Otherwise..."

Hun Dan: "I know you've already taken their money. If I reach out, I'll offend a prodigy with Dou Sheng backing him up, right? Don't worry, am Young Master that short-sighted? I'd love to have more powerful allies!"

After finishing his conversation with the Hun Dan, Yang Shan didn't linger.

Cheng E will not go to the secret realm. Yang Shan's reason is that he feels he is about to break through and is worried about getting injured during the operation.

Hun Dan's favorability towards Yang Shan exceeds 80 points, and even if Yang Shan doesn't give a reason, Hun Dan won't ask any more questions.

The six words "Cheng E won't betray me" are already ingrained in that Hun Dan's very bones.

After all, over the years, Hun Dan has provided very little help to Yang Shan; it's mostly Yang Shan who has been trying to help Hun Dan.

Now that he finally had a chance to repay the favor, Hun Dan secretly resolved to give Yang Shan some face! "It seems I have to lower myself. I'll just say I'm a henchman sent by a big shot from the Soul Hall to protect Yang Shan. Otherwise, Yang Shan will think my brother doesn't have enough power behind him!"

Yang Shan didn't invite Luo Xie this time.

Luo Xie's potential is limited; he is currently only Three-Star Dou Zong, Four Star Dou Zong is a long way off.

Even if Luo Xie went, he wouldn't be of much help.

Meanwhile, Luo Xie also encountered his true love in the Black-Corner Region.

Yang Shan had asked Luo Xie, and Luo Xie seemed to have lost his ambition to break through to the Dou Zun. He wanted to stay in the Black-Corner Region to spend more time with Su Mei.

After struggling for most of his life, returning to the Soul Hall, he will ultimately only be a minor character.

For Luo Xie, living a life of luxury as a big shot in the Black-Corner Region might actually be a better choice.

Yang Shan naturally respected the choice of the person who had helped him a lot when he first entered the Black-Corner Region.

Hun Dan also promised Luo Xie that he would arrange for Luo Xie to "retire" after returning.

Afterwards, Luo Xie was still considered a member of the Soul Hall and was under its protection, but he no longer needed to accept missions from the Soul Hall Soul Hall. Of course, if Luo Xie returned with enough souls, he could still obtain Contribution Points.

After settling things with that Hun Dan, Yang Shan had basically completed all his arrangements.

All that's left to do is wait patiently for the secret realm to open.

Yang Shan's foundation has been restored to its former glory, and his Extremely Fast Potential has reached the level of Five Star Dou Zong.

However, there are still too few Seventh-Rank Magical Beast in the Black-Corner Region.

No matter how far you go, you still can't get around Black Moon Ridge.

Yang Shan was too lazy to search everywhere anymore; he just wanted to wait for the Black-Corner Region Secret Realm to happen and kill more monsters or NPCs.

Yang Shan returned to Rakshasa City and began playing with snakes.

This water snake is truly amazing! The feel of it is incredible, so soft and smooth.

Moreover, unlike Ya Fei's allure, Yue Mei possesses a seductive charm deep down.

Yue Mei let Yang Shan experience the "58 yuan" service!

Keep in mind that Yue Mei's loyalty is as high as 90 points, and the system service fee for a single transaction is only 28!

But when Yue Mei stuck out her tongue, Yang Shan had to give her a thumbs up: Tian Yao Company's fees are truly reasonable! What does it feel like when a woman's tongue is as long as a snake? What does it feel like to condense Dou Qi into water on your lips? It's been a long time since True Lord Yang has been forcibly kicked offline for exceeding his healthy online time limit.

They've fallen! They've truly fallen!

When Yang Shan logged back in, Xiao Aotian, under the guidance of Heavenly Flame Venerable, had obtained rare and precious Foundation Spiritual Object from the Underground Magma World and successfully broke through to the Dou Zong with Supreme Foundation.

The secret realm of Black Moon Ridge is about to open!

"Yue Mei, get ready to go!"

Yue Mei responded, her alluring figure transforming into a seven-inch snake that slithered into Yang Shan's sleeve.
