Chapter 283: Capture the city without bloodshed!
A serious civil unrest recently broke out in Black Seal City.
It was initiated by three powerful elders from the Eight Gates whose levels were above Seven-Star Dou Wang.
Perhaps the three elders all understood in their hearts that without their leader Yuan Yi, the Eight Gates were doomed to decline.
The Great Elder wanted to invest all the resources stored in the Eight Gates into one person, forcibly break through to the Douhuang level, and stabilize the situation.
However, the third elder stated that he was the one with the highest qualifications and was the most suitable person to receive resources to impact the Douhuang level.
The second elder wanted to divide the resources and leave directly.
Therefore, the Eight Gates were divided into three major factions, and there were constant conflicts among them.
But before the three elders could finally reach a conclusion, Black Seal City was attacked.
Yin Gu Lao from the Tianyin Sect is ranked sixth on the blacklist.
Su Mei from Rakshasa Sect, eighth on the blacklist.
The two forces came with great momentum and broke into the house directly from the north and south ends.
The four words "Those who surrender will not be killed" have been echoing in the city.
The two major forces soon reached the headquarters of the Eight Gates.
Beside Su Mei, Su Yitong played the Fenggeqin with her hands, and as she plucked the strings, dense gusts of wind blew.
On the side of Black Seal City, there are few experts who can fight with it.
The second elder among the three elders of Black Seal City surrendered without a fight.
The Great Elder finally chose to join the Tianyin Sect.
Only the third elder was unwilling to give in and still relied on the Eight Gates Headquarters to resist the two major forces.
An elder beside Su Mei said:
"Master, the last line of defense of these eight gates is a bit difficult to attack!"
Su Mei smiled contemptuously:
"It's just a stubborn fight."
Then, Su Mei turned her head and asked Su Yitang:
"Sister Nianku, when will the help you mentioned arrive?"
Su Yitang: "Sister Mei, he said he would come as soon as possible."
Su Mei was a little worried:
"The Tianyin Sect is three points stronger than my Luosha Sect. That old man Yingu is more than fifty years older than me. On the surface, he is a four-star Douhuang like me, but he has been keeping a low profile for many years. When fighting with others, he rarely uses his full strength. If I face him, I will most likely be defeated."
Su Yitang vowed:
"Don't worry, Sister Mei, I will help you when the time comes!"
Su Mei smiled gently:
"You little girl, even though you have only been in Luoshamen for two years, I like you as a sister. You will definitely do what you say."
Since being signed by Yang Shan, Su Yitong also learned from Yang Shan about the rules of the subsidiary identity.
And under Yang Shan's suggestion, Su Yitong exhausted all his contributions to Luoshamen and then arranged a "fake death" for himself.
Afterwards, he put on a mask, changed his name to "Su Nianku", and started over.
Moreover, Su Yitong also learned from Yang Shan's behavior in the Blood Robbery Tower. She would take on missions whenever she had nothing to do and kill people all the time.
This caught Su Mei's attention.
Later, she and Yang Shan teamed up to kill more than 80% of the Dou Wang in Qianban City. When she handed a thick stack of task booklets to Su Mei, Su Mei was so scared that her legs went weak.
The old man of Qianban City is the fourth on the blacklist, a seven-star Douhuang! He also has a great elder who is a one-star Douhuang under him.
However, because of this, Su Mei also fully understood Su Yitong's abilities and began to promote her vigorously.
As Su Mei's contact with Su Yitong became deeper and deeper, her favorability towards her also steadily increased.
Today, Su Yitong has become Su Mei's most trusted and respected subordinate.
Su Mei was finally willing to compete with the Tianyin Sect, but it was all out of trust in Su Yitong!
Otherwise, Su Mei really doesn't have the courage to confront Yin Gu Lao!
The Third Elder of the Eight Gates might be talented, but he only has the strength of a Seven-Star Dou King after all.
How could they withstand an attack from two forces that were stronger than the Eight Gates in their heyday?
With the Third Elder finally being captured alive, the Eight Gates will probably no longer exist from now on.
At this moment, Yin Gu Lao activated his dark grey wings and flew into the air. As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire Black Seal City seemed to be able to hear his hoarse voice:
"Master Su, these eight sects have been destroyed. How about you come up and fight with me? If you win, I will retreat."
There was a calmness in everything Yingu said.
The fighting spirit he cultivated was a poisonous attribute transformed from the water attribute!
The accompanying toxins tend to be cold and corrosive.
It's so difficult!
Relatively speaking, Su Mei's wind-attributed fighting spirit is much more normal.
Of course, Su Mei is no mediocre person. Her wind power and sonic fighting skills are extremely famous in the entire Black Horn Region.
Su Yitang chose to join Luoshamen because the core inheritance of Luoshamen is the wind attribute. (Luoshamen specializes in fireworks, and dual cultivation is a secret method.)
Therefore, although Su Mei felt that she was no match for Yin Gu Lao, she was faster, and it would not be easy for Yin Gu Lao to defeat her!
Just as Su Mei was about to leave, Su Yitong said, "Sister Mei, I'll go with you!"
Su Mei smiled charmingly:
"Sister Nian Ku, this is a battle between sect leaders. If you intervene, the other side will send out another person."
Su Yitong: "It's okay. Even if a Nine-Star Dou Wang comes, I can fight him."
Su Mei: "But there is no need. I trust you very much. I will hold Yingu Lao back and hope to receive the help you mentioned."
Su Mei did not give Su Yitong a chance to answer. She activated her fighting spirit, transformed it into wings, and flew up.
Compared to Yin Gu Lao's sinister face, Su Mei felt much more comfortable looking at him.
Like a ripe peach, it fully displays the charming grace of a mature woman.
But Su Mei's pretty face was very solemn at this moment. Although she believed in Su Yitong, she was indeed under a lot of pressure facing Yin Gu Lao.
Seeing this, Yin Gu Lao also had some doubts in his heart:
"Master Su, you normally wouldn't be so foolish as to confront me head-on!"
Among the top ten on the blacklist, Yin Gu Lao can be considered the oldest one.
He was able to stay on the blacklist for so long, and the Tianyin Sect rarely had major conflicts with other forces. That was all because Old Yingu was extremely cautious in what he did!
Just like now, the advantage is clearly on the side of Tianyin Sect.
But when Yingu saw that Su Mei dared to fly up and fight with him, he immediately began to have doubts in his heart.
"There's no point in talking any more, Old Yin Gu, let's just fight and see who's the winner!"
There is no distinction between men and women in the Black Horn Region, only between the strong and the weak.
Although Su Mei is a woman, she is so decisive in her actions that many men in power cannot match her.
Since she has decided to trust Su Yitong, Su Mei is willing to take the gamble this time!
If she loses, the worst that can happen is that she won’t get any of Black Seal City’s resources!
Su Mei has already taken out her weapon.
A bamboo flute!
In addition, she actually had a dagger hidden in her sleeve.
Use a dagger for close combat and a bamboo flute for sonic fighting skills at long range.
Su Yitong’s initial fighting style was actually learned from Su Mei.
Seeing Su Mei being so decisive, Yingu Lao's face also turned gloomy.
No matter what cards Su Mei has, the advantage is now in his hands!
Since Su Mei has other cards, let's force her to reveal them and see what happens!
Two four-star Dou Huangs are preparing for a battle in the sky.
Unexpectedly, a stronger wave came from the south.
Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei were both shocked.
"Seven Star Douhuang?"
"There is another three-star Dou Wang?"
Yang Shan and Luo Xie gradually approached, and finally stopped ten feet away from Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei.
Su Mei tried to see through Yang Shan's mask and find out his true self.
But she found that Yang Shan's mask was like a wall, completely blocking her mental detection!
Compared to Su Mei, the cautious Yin Gu Lao didn't even make any move to investigate.
Because he noticed that something was wrong with the behavior of Yang Shan and Luo Xie after they flew over!
Yang Shan was in front, with his hands behind his back, and there was no awe in his eyes for the Douhuang powerful man.
On the contrary, Luo Xie, the Seven-Star Dou Huang, was slightly behind, and his aura had already locked onto him!
what's going on?
The Seven-Star Dou Emperor is a subordinate of the Three-Star Dou King?
Yang Shan didn't need to say anything, Yingu Lao had already automatically imagined Yang Shan's "noble status"!
Therefore, Yingu Lao was quite polite, and even took the initiative to salute Yang Shan, the three-star Dou Wang:
"May I ask your Excellency, what advice do you have for me?"
Yang Shan still looked like he was awesome and made a gesture to Luo Xie.
Luo Xie immediately said in a cold voice:
"My young master is somewhat interested in Black Seal City."
At the same time, Yang Shan also secretly sent a message to Su Mei.
The player's "sound transmission method" function will be passively activated as long as the player reaches the Fighting King level.
If the player learns sonic fighting skills, or has a strong soul power, the function of the "sound transmission method" will also increase.
Yang Shan’s “A Hundred Howls of Remnant Souls” is a low-level earth-grade sonic fighting skill, and his soul power has even reached the spiritual level.
Even a Dou Huang cannot easily detect his voice transmission!
"Master Su, I received a message from Su Nianku and came here specially. You will cooperate with me in a while!"
Su Mei is indeed an old hand in the Black Horn Region, and she hides her inner ecstasy very well.
A mysterious young man with a seven-star Douhuang as his bodyguard is willing to support Luoshamen!
What is the Tianyin Sect? What is Yingu Lao?
Even with Master Ban in charge of Qianban City, they did not dare to show disrespect to Luosha Sect after losing a large number of Dou Wang!
Yang Shan and Su Mei had a brief exchange without Yin Gu Lao knowing anything.
Then Su Mei put on an attitude that seemed polite, but was actually quite defensive:
"Sir, although you have the protection of a Seven-Star Douhuang, it is a bit inappropriate to want to occupy Black Seal City, isn't it?"
Su Mei's attitude made Yin Gu Lao a little unsure.
He originally thought that this mysterious young man and the Seven-Star Dou Huang were helpers found by Su Mei, and he was about to give in and withdraw.
So the two of them are not the same kind of people?
Yang Shan spoke calmly at this time:
"Tianyin City's Yin Gu Lao, Luoshamen's Su Mei, hey, they are not from the Black Alliance."
Yingu Lao and Su Mei both became alert.
Yin Gu Lao asked:
"Sir, are you from the Black Alliance?"
Yang Shan shook his head:
"No, I just wanted to rob Black Seal City, but after seeing you two, I had some other ideas!"
At this point, Yang Shan deliberately slowed down before continuing:
"The Eight Gates are no longer in use, but the resources of Black Seal City are still worth my attention!"
Yang Shan glanced at Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei:
"Let's find a place to chat with this young master!" Yin Gu smiled awkwardly:
"This young man, this old man..."
Yang Shan interrupted Yin Gu Lao violently:
"You cannot refuse my invitation. If you displease me, I don't mind letting the guards join forces with Luoshamen for once!"
Yin Gu Lao's face, which was not good to begin with, was now as black as coal.
If Su Mei and this Seven-Star Dou Huang joined forces, Yingu Lao felt that he would have no choice but to flee in fear!
Yin Gu Lao said quickly:
"Sir, if you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely. I am willing to make some good tea and have a good chat with you."
Yang Shan nodded and looked at Su Mei:
"It seems that you hope that my guards will join forces with Old Yin Gu?"
Su Mei also showed great fear:
"No, no, no, sir, I have never thought about it this way. I am willing to sit down and have a good chat with you."
"very good!"
Yang Shan flew to the ground first.
And Luo Xie's divine consciousness has been locked on the two of them.
Anyone who dares to escape at this time will surely be attacked by Luo Xie!
The two sect leaders had no choice but to instruct their subordinates to wait where they were and not to act rashly.
Then he followed Yang Shan to a restaurant not far away.
The owner of the restaurant had disappeared long ago, but it was no big deal.
Yang Shan found a seat by the window on the second floor and motioned for Yingu Lao and Su Mei to sit down.
Su Yitong must not be called up.
Otherwise, his relationship with Su Mei would be exposed.
Yang Shan didn't say anything nonsense.
This is the Black Horn area!
No polite words can sound more appealing than talking about benefits!
Yang Shan: "You two are both well-known masters on the blacklist, with countless elite soldiers and generals under your command. However, you two must have been a little scared recently, right?"
Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei must have received Han Feng's invitation letter before.
But they considered it for a long time and ultimately did not agree to join the Black Alliance.
In other words, Yingu Lao and Su Mei have greater ambitions in their hearts. On the other hand, they do not want to get involved in the feud between Han Feng and Canaan College.
But the Black Alliance has now been officially established.
On the black list, except for the two of them and Yuan Yi who had been killed, the rest of the strong men were all powerful elders of the Black Alliance.
The Tianyin Sect or the Luosha Sect are naturally weak when facing a behemoth like the Black Alliance.
But Yang Shan's next words made Yingu Lao and Su Mei have different thoughts.
"I've changed my mind. Looting Black Seal City can only bring temporary benefits, but occupying Black Seal City can bring long-term benefits!"
Yang Shan tapped his fingers lightly on the table:
“If this young master takes the lead and the three parties join forces, I’m afraid there won’t be any force in the Black Horn Region that would want to attack Black Seal City!”
Yang Shan’s words aroused a lot of thoughts in Yingu Lao and Su Mei’s minds.
According to Yang Shan, if the three parties could really join forces, not to mention other forces, even the Black Alliance would not dare to act recklessly.
After all, unless Canaan College collapses, the focus of the Black Alliance will definitely be on Canaan College.
It is simply impossible for them to come up with a more luxurious lineup than the combined forces of the three of them to seize the Black Seal City!
You know, although Yuan Yi is only ranked tenth on the blacklist, the resources of the Black Seal City, which is governed by the Eight Gates, are not inferior to those of the Tianyin City or the Rakshasa City!
Because although the Eight Gates dominate the Black Seal City, there are many other forces in the city.
Tianyin City and Luosha City were both completely controlled by Yingulao and Su Mei.
Yang Shan: "Luo Xie, please introduce yourself to the two sect masters."
"Yes, son!"
Luo Xie acted very well. He was respectful to Yang Shan one second, but when facing Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei the next second, he had a defiant look on his face:
"I am the owner of the Blood Robbery Tower!"
"Blood Robbery Tower?"
Yin Gu's hand holding the teacup trembled.
Although the Blood Robbery Tower is hidden in the dark, they, the real strong men in the Black Horn Region, naturally know some information.
The strongest assassin organization in the Black Horn Region.
Getting things done for money is the first purpose!
It is said that apart from giants like the Black Emperor Sect which has a Dou Zong master in charge, there is no one that the Blood Robbery Tower dares not kill!
There were even elders from the Tianyin Sect and the Luosha Sect who died in assassinations in the Jiexue Tower.
But Yingu Lao and Su Mei would definitely not be stupid enough to bring up these "old stories" at this table.
Dead people are worthless.
It's not worth it to offend the Blood Robbery Tower for this!
Yang Shan: "As for my identity, you can speculate as you please. I just want to say that if you are not interested, you can leave now. If you want to take 30% of the benefits of Black Seal City, then stay!"
Thirty percent!
To be honest, neither Yingu Lao nor Su Mei had expected that Yang Shan could actually give out 30% of the profits!
The gap between the Seven-Star Dou Huang and the Four-Star Dou Huang, as well as the mysterious Blood Robbery Tower and the completely unclear manpower behind it.
Even if Yang Shan only gave them 20% of the profits, it would be reasonable to ask them to help defend Black Seal City.
But if it is 30%, then it would be very subtle!
2, 3.
It is difficult to convey the core concept by just listing this number.
So if it is interpreted as:
The original benefits were suddenly increased by 50%!
That would reflect the temptation brought by the changes in these numbers!
Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei each accounted for 30%, and Yang Shan only accounted for 40%.
This means that all future output of Black Seal City will be related to their "core interests"!
Twenty percent may even work secretly without putting in any effort.
But 30%, that’s really worth their serious attention!
Not only that, Yang Shan also took out a jade bottle from his ring:
"Let me show you this little blue pill that I just made!"
Yang Shan saw that Yingu's old face was full of seriousness, while a barely perceptible blush flashed across Su Mei's face.
As expected of Su Yitong’s elder sister, once something related to color is mentioned, she can immediately make associations!
When the medicine bottle was opened, a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately emerged from the bottle.
Although Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei are not masters of alchemy, they can still roughly judge the quality of the elixir!
Yin Gu Lao swallowed his saliva:
"This is a top-grade sixth-grade elixir!"
Su Mei looked at Yang Shan with eyes that looked like tears were about to come out:
"Young Master is actually a sixth-grade peak alchemist!"
Yang Shan smiled indifferently:
"I'm almost at the peak of the sixth rank, but I'm just a little interested, so I'll just practice it. I took this out just to tell you two that I'm bored, so I want to come to the Black Horn Region to develop. Do you understand?"
Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei nodded in unison:
"understand!"
Yang Shan: "This elixir is called Pohuang Dan. There is another elixir called Huangji Dan. I failed to refine it last time. Tsk, it's not quite there yet. But it should be not too far off. Do you understand?"
Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei's eyes were shining:
"understand!"
The Emperor Breaking Pill can help a Nine-Star Dou King break into the Dou Emperor realm, and the Emperor Extreme Pill can even increase the level of a Dou Emperor by one star without any side effects!
If it is the Perfect Imperial Pill, then there is a certain chance that it can directly increase the level by two stars!
For Douhuang strongmen, if their potential has been almost squeezed, then to upgrade one star level, it may take several years, or even more than ten or twenty years, just through hard work.
No Douhuang strongman can resist the temptation of Huangji Pill.
Unless he has already eaten it!
However, to refine the Huangji Pill, not only are the medicinal materials hard to find, the most critical thing is the person who refines it. Basically, he has to be a peak sixth-grade or even seventh-grade alchemist to have a certain degree of confidence!
In the entire Black Horn Region, it has been many years since a seventh-grade alchemist appeared.
Therefore, the peak of the sixth rank is the current ceiling for alchemists in the Black Horn Region!
If not, why is Han Feng honored as the "Emperor of Medicine"?
Therefore, most of the Douhuang powerhouses in the Black Horn Region have never eaten the Huangji Pill. Otherwise, how could Han Feng call on most of the powerhouses on the Black List to follow him to Canaan Academy to cause trouble?
How can we establish the Black Alliance?
Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei rejected Han Feng's invitation. It would be extremely difficult to ask Han Feng to refine the Huangji Pill in the future!
And now, Yang Shan took out the Pohuang Pill and said that he could refine the Huangji Pill in the future.
This would be like what the Black Alliance did, tying Yingulao and Su Mei tightly to his chariot!
Not to mention Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei, Luo Xie is feeling numb right now!
Of course he knew that Yang Shan was an alchemist.
But he didn't know that Yang Shan was actually already a sixth-rank alchemist!
No!
What's going on?
In just two or three years, it would have been fine if Dou Ling had transformed into Dou Wang, but his attainments in alchemy were so terrifying!
Can this still be a person?
Luo Xie always felt that even if that young man had the blood of the Dou Emperor, his potential would probably not be as great as Yang Shan's.
Luo Xie's heart was also pounding.
Because he had never eaten the Huangji Pill!
At this moment, Luo Xie's mentality changed a little bit, just a little bit.
It seems that following "Evil Brother" is more reliable than following that soulless young man!
And Yingu's old face was smiling brighter than a chrysanthemum.
In the Black Horn Region, relationships between people are basically based on interests. As long as there is profit to be made, Yingu Lao is not unwilling to bend his back!
Strength, interests, temptations, everything that is needed is here.
This negotiation went exceptionally smoothly!
Yang Shan naturally had his own purpose in making such a plan.
Not to mention that the bastard will need to stay in the Black Horn Region for a long time and require a lot of resources.
Yang Shan also needs more pure soul energy to help himself break through!
Besides, Yang Shan is not under the command of any force now.
But cooperate directly with the forces!
Although the output of props will still be limited, what Yang Shan can obtain is definitely more than one level higher than joining a powerful force!
Not just the soul.
Medicinal herbs, magic cores, spirit stones, and even the ability to ignore favorability limits and let Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei be your thugs!
In a version where the top players are only Dou Wang, having two four-star Dou Huangs as thugs is already a rather outrageous thing in itself!
The interests of Black Seal City were divided without bloodshed, and two first-rate forces were brought in as allies.
Yang Shan made the most of the Black Horn Domain and even the basic rules of the entire game.
After the cooperation was agreed upon, Yingu Lao and Su Mei both left behind a large number of people to assist the Jiexue Tower and manage the Heiyin City.
After Yingu Lao left, Su Mei set up a banquet to entertain Yang Shan, the distinguished guest!
