Chapter 163 One tower and one palace?
[Ding! Players, please note that Luo Xie intends to introduce players to the mysterious forces behind him. Players are requested to treat it with discretion. ]

Some special plots will not give specific goals and specific information.

Players need to explore step by step and uncover it gradually.

Yang Shan is quite familiar with these processes.

We just need to ensure that this special plot can continue, and joining the Soul Palace is a foregone conclusion!
Yang Shan hopes that when he reaches the Dou Wang level, he can report to the Soul Palace and become a notorious "Soul Envoy".

After all, no matter which branch of the Soul Palace it is, there are at least Dou Zun powerful people in charge, and their cultivation resources can get a lot of good things, not to mention Dou Wang, even Dou Zong can get a lot of good things!
Yang Shan: "Thank you for your cultivation!"

Luo Xie: "No problem, every force likes geniuses. I must be crazy to let a genius like you slip away!"

Yang Shan stretched out his hand.

Luo Xie: "What?"

Yang Shan: "Assassination mission."

"Are you so impatient? Don't kill any more people in this Black Seal City."

Luo Xie thought for a while and said, "How about this, I will stay in Black Seal City for a few more days, and after I finish dealing with things, you can come with me to Skull City to take on the mission."

Yang Shan: "Give me the task, I'll go first."

"You really can't sit still, okay, I'll find you one!"

Luo Xie picked out a book from a pile of books.

Yang Shan took a look and saw it was a four-star Dou Ling.

It seems that in Luo Xie's eyes, his actual combat power is only enough to defeat those who are one star higher than him?

So how did Luo Xie dare to say that he had a sharp eye?

Yang Shan didn't say much. Words are usually pale and actual actions are more effective.

Yang Shan put away the booklet:
"Then OP, I'm going to Skull City first."

"Go."

After Yang Shan left, Luo Xie sighed:

"It will finally be peaceful now."

Skeleton City and Black Seal City are adjacent cities and are the headquarters of the first-class force "Black Skull Tomb".

Although the helmsman of the Black Skull Tomb did not make it into the top ten of the blacklist, he was also a genuine Douhuang powerhouse.

In the original story, the Black Skull Tomb does not have many scenes. Its main appearance is at the auction in Black Seal City, where an elder of the sect bid for "Three Thousand Thunders" and was ambushed by the Blood Sect's young master Fan Ling and his men after leaving the city.

Seven days later, the dilapidated door of the pawn shop in the alley on the south street of Skeleton City was kicked over!
The shopkeeper who was taking a nap at the counter immediately turned over:
"How dare you, a rogue, to do this? I, the old man, greet the owner of this building!"

Luo Xie's face turned pale, and he immediately asked after entering the pawn shop:
"Where is Cheng E? Where did Cheng E go?"

The shopkeeper's legs were shaking with fear:

"Master Cheng E left in the morning."

Luo Xie stepped forward, grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar, and sprayed him in the face with his breath and saliva:
"Cheng E has done so many things in Skull City recently, don't you do anything about it?"

In the past seven days alone, more than a hundred people have died in Skeleton City, more than forty of whom were at the Dou Ling level.

Putting aside other forces in the city, more than twenty Dou Lings died in the Black Skull Tomb alone!

I heard that the person in charge of the Black Skull Tomb was so angry that he even sprained the waist of his newly-married concubine, and ordered martial law throughout the city.

When Luo Xie entered the city, he felt unwell.

Then he came to the shopkeeper angrily.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned pale:

"Master, I only have a silver medal, while Master Cheng E has a gold medal. How dare I control him?"

This shopkeeper’s rank is actually slightly higher than Yang Shan’s.

But the gold medal in Yang Shan's hand was enough to make the shopkeeper bow and nod.

"Hey, host, you're here early."

Luo Xie was about to ask for culpability, but when he heard Yang Shan's voice, his head snapped around like a machine, his expression like a ghost:

"Cheng E, you still remember to come back."

Yang Shan was puzzled:
"Owner, who has offended you? Tell me and I will kill him!"

Luo Xie: "Who else could it be? Come here!"

Luo Xie caught Yang Shan and went straight to the inner building.

"Didn't I just give you one mission? Tell me! What have you done these days?"

Yang Shan was already smiling in his heart, but he still looked confused:
"Ah? Murder."

Luo Xie: "Why do you kill people when you have nothing better to do?"

Yang Shan: "I just had nothing to do, so I killed people and robbed them."

Luo Xie: “.”

Luo Xie knew that Yang Shan liked to stir up trouble, but he didn't expect that he was so good at it.

Luo Xie originally thought that after giving Yang Shan a task target, he should practice well after completing it.

What the hell is he practicing!

But Yang Shan's answer left Luo Xie speechless again.

Yes!

In Black Horn, the most chaotic region in the northwest continent, killing people for money is the main theme.

It’s just that Yang Shan’s fighting power is really too outrageous.

More than forty fighting spirits were killed in seven days.

Is this guy invincible under the Fighting King?
Yang Shan took out the golden token:
"Owner, why don't you help me finish the task first."

Luo Xie thought in his heart:

"Forget it, forget it. Next time, I'll tell this kid not to kill too many people. Otherwise, just make a few people and move to another place."

Luo Xie was stunned after getting the token:
"Why is there only one soul?"

Yang Shan: "I killed too many people. I find it troublesome. Anyway, those people don't know what I look like until they die."

Luo Xie subconsciously covered his forehead.

He felt a little breathless.

Luo Xie actually really wanted to scold Yang Shan.

But considering that Yang Shan might develop well in the Soul Palace in the future.

Besides, Luo Xie had never told Yang Shan about these things, and even referred to the Soul Palace as a "mysterious force."

There is no valid reason to blame Yang Shan.

Luo Xie had no choice but to confront Yang Shan:
"Next time you kill someone, remember to store the soul in the token. This thing is very useful."

Yang Shan frowned:

"You want a soul body?"

Luo Xie: "What?"

Yang Shan: "When I was in the Jia Ma Empire, there was also a hidden force called Qing Yun Hui. They also killed people secretly and collected souls. OP, are you also a member of Qing Yun Hui?"

Luo Xie: "Qingyun Society?"

The personnel arranged by the Soul Palace may not necessarily be aware of each other.

After all, the Black Horn Region is still very far away from the Gama Empire.

Luo Xie might not be from the same branch as Wu Hufa, so it is normal not to know. Yang Shan took out a black bead from his ring:
"That's what they use to collect souls."

"Soul-gathering bead?"

Luo Xie took the bead and examined it carefully. After confirming it, he said:
"It seems that I have colleagues in the Jia Ma Empire as well! What is the strength of the senior leaders of the Qing Yun Association?"

Yang Shan: "I don't know, I only know that their three leaders are at the Dou Wang level."

Luo Xie pondered secretly in his heart.

The three leaders are Dou Wangs, so logically speaking, the big leader should be at the Dou Huang level.

Luo Xie asked:

"Did you have any grudges with the Qingyun Society before?"

Yang Shan: "Yes, we killed quite a few."

Luo Xie: "Why do you kill people wherever you go?"

Yang Shan: "There is no other way. There are too few cultivation resources. It is too slow to cultivate on my own."

As expected of someone Luo Xie favors, his style of doing things is indeed very "Soul Palace"!
Luo Xie: "Will you return to the Gama Empire in the future?"

Yang Shan: "Of course I have to go back. There are still my enemies over there. They are very powerful. I have to go back and kill them from time to time. Sooner or later, I will wipe them all out!"

Luo Xie suddenly had an idea and a smile appeared on his face:

"In that case, I have a deal with you. From now on, when you are in the Black Horn Region, you must keep a low profile when killing people. You cannot kill too many people in the same city in a short period of time. As you know, our Blood Robbery Building is in the assassin business. We have offended many forces over the years. If they surface, it will be a bit tricky."

Seeing that he was about to refuse, Luo Xie took out a black token:
"Since you want to kill people for resources anyway, why not kill more people when you return to the Jia Ma Empire for revenge! If you run into any trouble, take the token to the top leaders of the Qing Yun Association. I believe they will give me some face!"

Yang Shan played with the token in his hand and asked, "Is it reliable?"

Luo Xie said angrily, "How dare you! I am a Soul Envoy of the Soul Palace. I only have three of these tokens! If you have this token, you are my special envoy, and your status is the same as that of a Soul Envoy at the Dou Wang level. Who dares to touch you?"

It seems that Luo Xie really knows nothing about the situation in the Gama Empire.

The Soul Envoy's special envoy would be a joke in front of the Dou Zong-level guardian Wu!

But this token will be of great use after returning to the Gama Empire.

Yang Shan: "So, the power behind the host is called Soul Palace?"

Luo Xie said proudly: "That's it!"

Yang Shan: "Is the Soul Palace very strong?"

When Yang Shan asked this, Luo Xie knew that his chance to show off had come!

"Cheng E, do you know Zhongzhou?"

Yang Shan: “Uh, I don’t know.”

"you"

Luo Xie's mouth twitched:

"Forget it. After all, you used to live in the barren land of the Jia Ma Empire. It's normal that you don't know. Let me tell you, Zhongzhou is the most prosperous and spiritually rich land in the Dou Qi Continent!"

Speaking of these, Luo Xie was quite interested.

After all, although Luo Xie's strength in the Black Horn Region is not as good as those old hidden monsters, on the surface, he is also considered to be one of the top five strong men on the black list.

But Luo Xie is only slightly better than the lowest level in the Soul Palace.

"Zhongzhou is bigger than a hundred Black Horn Regions! It is the stage for the strongest people in the entire Douqi Continent. Not to mention Douhuang, even Douzong can be seen everywhere in Zhongzhou. Only those who have broken into Douzun can have a certain say in Zhongzhou!"

"There are countless forces in Zhongzhou, but the recognized top forces are called One Tower, One Palace, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Square Pavilions!"

One tower, one hall, two sects, three valleys and four square pavilions!

In her previous life, in order to inherit the "Nine Dragons Thunder Fire" of Fenyan Valley, Tang Huoer left Zhongzhou and went to various places to gain experience, where she met Yang Shan by chance.

Yang Shan had also heard these words from Tang Huoer.

The ten forces described in this sentence are exactly the same as those written in the original book.

But there is a problem with the order!
In the original story, it is not "one tower and one palace", but "one palace and one tower"!
As for why, Yang Shan had asked Tang Huoer, but Tang Huoer did not say much, just said that the "One Tower" was the Dan Tower, the holy place for all the alchemists in Zhongzhou, and the Soul Palace has always been very mysterious, so it was ranked behind.

But according to the original book, the generally recognized ranking is that Soul Palace should be ranked first, followed by Danta.

Moreover, when facing the Soul Palace, Danta would endure it as much as possible and was unwilling to have too much conflict.

If there are any changes from the original work, it is naturally because the game planners of Tianyao Company have made other arrangements.

If we can understand these changes in advance, it will definitely be beneficial to future development.

Now that Luo Xie said this again, Yang Shan wanted to seize the opportunity to ask:
"Is our faction one of these one or two towers?"

"You ignorant boy, what do you mean by one tower or two towers? It's one tower and one hall!"

Luo Xie patiently explained:
"This sentence describes the ten major forces and also ranks them. The tower is the Dan Tower, and the hall is the Soul Hall. Behind this old man is the Soul Hall!"

"Soul Palace? The name has the word "soul" in it, no wonder it requires a soul body!"

Yang Shan thought for a moment:
"That's not right, OP."

Luo Xie: "What's wrong?"

Yang Shan: "The Soul Palace is for collecting souls, and the Pill Tower is for refining pills, right?"

Luo Xie: "Yes, Danta is a recognized holy place for alchemists. Many of Danta's senior executives are legendary eighth-grade alchemists!"

Yang Shan: "I'm almost a fifth-rank alchemist. Wouldn't it be better for me to join the number one Danta in the future?"

"Asshole! You know nothing!"

Luo Xie seemed particularly excited when he talked about this:
"If not"

After saying these three words, Luo Xie forced himself to hold back and just said:

"It's just that my Soul Palace is keeping a low profile. Otherwise, Danta is nothing!"

Luo Xie patted Yang Shan on the shoulder and said, "You just need to know that the resources for cultivation in my Soul Palace are much more than those in Dan Tower! Moreover, there are many eighth-grade alchemists in my Soul Palace! If you enter Dan Tower, you can only be an alchemist, but in my Soul Palace, you can get the best development!"

"When you break into the Dou Wang realm, I will introduce you to others. If you are lucky enough to be noticed by a great man, you will rise to prominence in no time!"

Luo Xie was painting big pictures for Yang Shan like crazy, and Yang Shan pretended to be excited and said:

"Really? I will never forget the cultivation of the host!"

Luo Xie nodded repeatedly.

This idiot finally said something that pleased him!
Yang Shan felt it was a pity.

Luo Xie obviously knew something, but he didn't say it out loud.

In the original novel, the protagonist Xiao Yan, based on the "Xingyun Pavilion" among the top ten forces, formed the "Tianfu Alliance" with the three top forces of Danta, Fenyan Valley, and Huazong, and also recruited strong people, so that he was qualified to compete with the Soul Palace.

Now, Danta alone is able to overtake Soul Palace?
Can you bear the destruction of your soul?
Yang Shan tried to get more information from Luo Xie.

But Luo Xie kept silent about it and told Yang Shan that he would know the truth after he joined the Soul Palace and went to Zhongzhou.

During the communication with Luo Xie, Yang Shan "finally" promised Luo Xie that he would try to keep a low profile in the Black Horn Region in the future.

And because Luo Xie took the initiative to talk about the Soul Palace, specific introductory information also appeared on the black token in Yang Shan's hand.

Soul Envoy’s Personal Order: A special token given by the Soul Palace’s Douhuang-level Soul Envoy. Seeing the token is like seeing the Soul Envoy!
As a result, the "mysterious force" in the opportunity list description has now been changed to "Soul Palace".

With this Soul Envoy's personal order, Yang Shan can use the identity of "Cheng E" to visit the branch of Qingyun Society!

However, Yang Shan has no plans to return to the Gama Empire yet.

The matter of Gui Zun Ling has not been resolved yet. Yang Shan has almost visited all the toilets in Skeleton City in the past few days, but there is still no response from Gui Zun Ling.

At least you have to visit two or three more cities.

Even if the other half of the Guizun Order is in the hands of Dou Wang or even Dou Huang, at least one can be mentally prepared and plan earlier.

At worst, we can gather up the points and ask Luo Xie, the host of this post, to take action personally!
