A Game for Everyone: I'm Using Different Flames to Play Overload!

Inside the reception hall of the Soul-Slaying Branch Hall, Soul-Dan spoke to the token:

"Yes, Ancestor Bone Nether, I am willing to withdraw from the competition for the position of Young Master of the Three Lineages of Annihilation."

"Outside the clan, you must address me as the Second Heavenly Venerable!"

The voice of the Second Heavenly Venerable, Gu You, came from the token:

"Have you really thought it through?"

Think it through? What a load of rubbish!

Seeing Yang Shan nodding along, the idiot could only bite the bullet and say:

"Second Heavenly Venerable, my previous struggle for the position of young master was merely for self-preservation. Now that the Soul-Sweeping Pavilion is operating very smoothly, my elder brother, Soul-Sage, is constantly trying to trip me up."

The bones of the two Heavenly Venerables are hidden:

"Useless! The position of young master is something that must be fought for. Hun Xian has tripped you up, don't you know how to retaliate?"

Damn it: "But Second Heavenly Venerable, is there any point in us wasting our time like this?"

Second Heavenly Venerable Gu You: "What did you say?"

Damn it: "I'm doing just fine with the Soul-Slaying Tower right now. Who knows, this might just be the bright path that allows the Soul Palace to harvest souls everywhere in the future!"

Yang Shan's voice kept echoing in Hun Dan's ears.

And that bastard, like a broken record, continued saying:

"Is the position of young master more important, or is the future of the Soul Hall more important?"

"I am not capable enough to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, but I have found a way! Although I do not know if this path will be successful in the end, I cannot afford to lose the greater good for the sake of the struggle for the position of young master!"

The Second Heavenly Venerable Gu You coldly laughed:

"Heh, you bastard, when did you become so sensible?"

Damn it, I'm helpless:

“Actually, when I first started going solo, I already understood that if this path didn’t work out, then the Soul Palace would be the Soul Palace, and the Soul-Sweeping Tower would be the Soul-Sweeping Tower. I would be burned to ashes along with the Soul-Sweeping Tower by the wrath of many transcendent forces.”

"But then I thought, vying for the position of young master is a life-or-death struggle, and running the Soul-Sweeping Pavilion is also like snatching chestnuts from a fire. If I succeed, the Soul Palace will rise again as a result, and even the Ancestor of Annihilation might be willing to let me have my own page in the family genealogy!"

"At that time, whether I am the young master or not will not matter. Even if Hun Xian wanted to kill me a hundred times, he wouldn't dare to lay a finger on me!"

"I only have this one life, and I'm willing to fight for a more promising future!"

At this point, Yang Shan no longer needed to transmit his voice.

That bastard's already getting excited:

"Ancestor Bone Nether! I beg you! I'm withdrawing from the competition for the young master, please give me this chance!"

A sound came from the token after a long while:

"Good! You bastard, you have not let down Ancestor Annihilation's expectations. Internal strife is not as good as external strife. I approve of your matter! From now on, no one in Soul Sage, or even the entire Soul Palace, will interfere with you. They can even secretly provide you with more assistance. But I must remind you!"

"If you make a mistake, we will destroy the Lifeline without uttering a single word! At that time, your life or death will have absolutely nothing to do with the Soul Clan or the Soul Palace!"

The bastard exclaimed excitedly:

"Thank you, Ancestor Guyou!"

The bones of the two Heavenly Venerables are hidden:

"No need to thank me. It's rare for the Three Lineages to produce a pioneer like you. The great trend of the past five hundred years is an opportunity, and I hope you will seize it. I will replenish the Heavenly Venerable Token in your hand three times! If you want more support in the future, you can exchange it for your merits!"

The token's light dimmed, and Hun Dan realized that cold sweat had seeped out from his back.

Yang Shan patted the bastard on the shoulder:

"Look at you, so weak. You break out in a sweat after just a few words. From now on, you should slap your hips more often, so you won't get hurt by beautiful women."

"Get lost! Me, a dignified Dou Zun, would be harmed by beauty?"

"You bastard!" he said irritably.

"Of course you're not afraid. It's not like you're in charge of the Soul-Sweeping Branch Hall. If Ancestor Bone Nether doesn't agree, I'll have nowhere to cry!"

Yang Shan: "He won't refuse. The Soul Hall wants to collect souls on a massive scale more than anyone else, without being targeted by other forces. How can someone without this kind of vision become a powerful high-ranking member of the Soul Hall?"

The scoundrel wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"You'll have to be the one with the solution!"

As he spoke, the scoundrel took out an eighth-tier refined spirit crystal from his storage ring, saying with a pained expression:

"I originally intended to use it myself, but the potential of this seventh-grade bloodline is still considerable, so I'll let you have it!"

Yang Shan: "Take it back, I don't need it for now."

That bastard was truly dumbfounded now:

"Cheng E, we're such good friends now, tell me honestly, do you have some kind of Dou Sheng father? You're a one-star Dou Zun now, with eighth-order refined spirit crystals, don't you want them?"

Yang Shan: "I don't really need it for now. As for whether I have any background, we met in the Black Corner Region, so what kind of background do you think I could have?"

Suddenly realizing:

"That's true. If someone really had a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) as a father, who would bother going to that remote place to risk their life?"

Yang Shan's Sea Heart Flame hasn't even reached the Dou Zun level yet, let alone Yue Mei's Blood Chain Seal, which requires a lot of experience.

Unless a breakthrough would result in a significant increase in combat power, Yang Shan would still prefer to stay at the one-star Dou Zun level and maximize the experience rewards for leveling up.

Yang Shan thought for a moment:

"Convert that eighth-tier refined spirit crystal into a spiritual item for breaking through to the Dou Zun realm, and give it to Xiao Wu."

Upon hearing this, Protector Wu, who had been hunched over, trembled all over, his legs buckled, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Even my own father isn't as good to me as that wicked man!"

Yang Shan almost couldn't resist kicking him.

Before they were even married, he suddenly had a wild son who was several generations older than him!

Protector Wu knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"Mr. Evil, from now on, Xiao Wu's life belongs to you! If you ask me to kill that scoundrel, I will not hesitate for a second!"

The bastard scolded:

"Little Wu, what do you mean? You dare to assassinate me?"

Yang Shan glanced at the scoundrel:

"Little Wu is showing his loyalty! Although we are good friends, if we ever have a conflict, Little Wu will always stand on my side, understand?"

That bastard scratched his head and ears in a panic:

"Why don't I have such a loyal lackey?"

Yang Shan: "Where are your old devil, the Earth Demon, and that Fan Lao?"

Damn it: "Fan Lao will be lucky to break through to the Dou Zong level in his lifetime. I told him to get out of Luo Xie's hands and work hard. Old Ghost Di Mo is currently out on a mission, but those two don't have Xiao Wu's insight and ability to get things done!"

The old demon's soul bears the mark planted by the scoundrel, which is equivalent to signing a contract of servitude, leaving his life and death out of his own hands.

But the protector of the wild goose is different!

Yang Shan gave Wu the biggest stage in theory.

In the Soul-Sweeping Branch Hall, when Yang Shan was not present, Protector Wu acted as his representative.

Therefore, the Protector of the Duck has priority in changing whatever he wants.

As long as the Dharma Protector does his job well, he will definitely receive the gifts!

Protector Wu is already preparing the spiritual items needed to break through to the Dou Zun level.

Spiritual objects that can break through to the Dou Zun level are extremely precious. Protector Wu originally had a five-year plan to collect all the spiritual objects within ten years.

As a result, once Yang Shan spoke, the time it would take for Protector Wu to break through to the Dou Zun level was reduced by at least three years!

Most importantly, Yang Shan's cultivation level was far inferior to that of Protector Wu in his early years.

But now, Yang Shan has broken through to Dou Zun, while Protector Wu is still stuck at the Nine-Star Dou Zong level!

Protector Wu was very worried that even if he had a chance to break through to the Dou Zun level, Yang Shan would give up on him because he lacked potential.

But when Yang Shan came back, he smashed an eighth-tier refined spirit crystal for him!

This thing is a treasure that even many elders and Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace would fight over!

[Ding! Player, please note: Looking back, Protector Wu has come this far entirely thanks to your care. Your kindness to Protector Wu is akin to giving him a second life! Protector Wu's loyalty +15! Current loyalty: 93!]

well.

Given Wu's current level of loyalty, even if Yang Shan were to pull Wu up and slap him three times without giving him any reason, Wu's loyalty probably wouldn't drop much.

"Come on, come on, Cheng E! You've finally come back! Xiao Wu, go find about twenty maids. I want to give our evil master a welcome feast!"

Originally, Hunxian had a huge advantage in terms of both power and resources.

If the two brothers fight amongst themselves, that bastard has absolutely no idea what to do.

Now, at Yang Shan's urging, Hun Dan has decided to risk everything and withdraw from the struggle for the young master, setting his sights on the greater goal of "establishing a separate family tree."

With the promise from the Second Heavenly Venerable Gu You, Hun Dan no longer needs to worry about Hun Xian causing him trouble.

The development of the Soul-Slaying Tower will also receive more attention and support from the Soul Palace!

Hun Dan felt exhilarated, so he had to make sure Yang Shan felt exhilarated too!

Yang Shan: "No need, I don't have the time for that. I have three important things to do since I came back this time."

Damn it: "You say it."

Yang Shan: "First, could you help me find out if the Soul Palace has any methods to quickly improve alchemy skills?"

The bastard was stunned:

"You want to learn alchemy?"

Yang Shan: "It wasn't me, it was Yang Shan. Actually, it was Yang Shan and I who killed Venerable Huangquan. Yang Shan gave me his soul, and I have to repay his favor. He said that his soul had reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm, but he hadn't had time to study alchemy. However, he was a dual cultivator of thunder and fire, so it would be a waste if he didn't practice alchemy."

Damn it, nod.

"Alright, your business is my business. I'll ask the Star-Picking Celestial Venerable in a bit."

Yang Shan: "The second thing is, please help me exchange the soul of the Yellow Spring Venerable for a spatial jade scroll. The stronger the opponent, the better!"

Damn it: "Why is that?"

"Isn't it because of you?"

Yang Shan said irritably:

"Didn't you see the look in your brother's eyes? To stand up for you, I've already been put on your brother's kill list! The Second Heavenly Venerable is protecting you and protecting the Soul-Slaying Pavilion, but if another person dies for the Soul-Slaying Pavilion, will Soul Sage be afraid to take the blame?"

After careful consideration, you bastard:

"Hiss, that's true! What if Hunxian wants to kill you? How can we use your merits for this? You'd be taking the blame for me! Don't worry, even if I spend all my own contributions, I'll definitely find someone who can save your life!"

That's why having a good relationship is so useful!

Look at that jerk, so honest!

If you can't get resources, hiring thugs is relatively easy.

Yang Shan asked for this spatial jade as a precaution.

Even if he wasn't targeted by Hun Xian, if he were to appear in public as Cheng E and encounter any enemies he couldn't handle, he could simply use the spatial jade to turn the tables!

Yang Shan: "Third, raise the difficulty of the missions we can accept now, limiting them to six-star Dou Zun. You've come back for a while, so we should get you some big credit!"

Hun Dan frowned: "A six-star Dou Zun? You think you can fight him?"

Yang Shan: "It depends on who it is. If it's someone like Elder Zhaixing, even if he's only a five-star Dou Zun, I'm not confident at all. If it's not a formidable character, a six-star Dou Zun isn't necessarily unbeatable."

Yang Shan is now much more arrogant than before.

If used properly, the 49% of the power of heaven and earth in the Seven Star Thunder Killing Formation could kill not only a six-star Dou Zun, but even a seven-star Dou Zun!

However, the possibility of being counter-killed is higher, so Yang Shan set the level limit at six-star Dou Zun just to be on the safe side.

Damn it: "I understand. Give me two days!"

Yang Shan smiled faintly:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Damn it: "Don't talk about hard work, we're all brothers!"

Two days later, when Yang Shan logged back in and stepped out of his private courtyard, he saw Protector Wu kneeling on the ground with a thud.

"Little Duck greets the wicked sir!"

A 90-degree bow is the highest form of etiquette in the Dou Qi Continent under normal circumstances.

Kneeling down is usually done to beg for mercy.

The fact that Xiaowu could perform the kneeling ceremony shows that its awareness is quite high.

Yang Shan: "Get up, what good news do you have?"

Xiao Wu took out a booklet from his storage ring, held it with both hands, bowed his head, and presented it to Yang Shan:

"Reporting to Mr. Evil, after Young Master Hun released the news, three forces have issued missions to our Soul-Sweeping Pavilion in the past two days, which require your decision."

Yang Shan took the booklet.

The first line reads:

Annihilation of Chen Yin, the Valley Master of Yin Valley, posted by Liu Cang, Vice Sect Master of Tianming Sect.

The second line reads:

Kill the Thunder Venerable, the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Gong Xing. Posted by: Xin Lian, the new Pavilion Master of the Yellow Springs Pavilion.

Yang Shan's lips twitched as he watched.

Leaving a big spectrum!

A valley master who wants to destroy the faction where his trusted secretary works.

One of Yang Zhenjun's deputies in the Fenglei Pavilion who wanted to eliminate him.

The Heavenly Nether Sect and the Yellow Springs Pavilion are truly audacious!

Especially the Yellow Springs Pavilion.

The former Yellow Springs Pavilion has become defunct in name only due to the "disappearance" of Venerable Yellow Springs.

This means that the Yellow Springs Pavilion has now become a puppet of the Nine Netherworld Python clan.

In the upcoming five hundred years, Huangquan Pavilion can provide a safe haven and sufficient protection for the prodigies of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

The last task was issued by Hua Jin from the Flower Sect.

And the mission objective.

Flower Sect, Five-Star Dou Zun, Yun Yun!

"Damn it, Hua Jin, you really deserve to die!"

Yang Shan is having a terrible headache right now.

None of the three tasks were ones I could accept.

Where do these experience points come from?

Could it be that we really have to go to the desolate ancient realm first?

In the desolate ancient domain, eighth-order ferocious beasts are not to say they are as numerous as hairs on a cow, but they are definitely found in large groups.

But how could Yang Shan not know how difficult it is to kill an eighth-tier magical beast?

The power of heaven and earth ignores realm suppression, but it doesn't increase damage!

Given the same level, Yang Shan would naturally prefer to face a human Dou Zun rather than an eighth-tier desolate beast.

Just then, Hun Dan flew over excitedly, landed in front of Yang Shan, and with a smirk, tossed out a spatial jade scroll:

"That's it!"

Yang Shan shook the jade silk:

"Who is that esteemed person on the other end?"

The bastard grinned:

"Four Heavenly Venerables, Blood River!"

Good guy!

The Four Heavenly Venerables have all been summoned!

Damn it, he explained:

"I'm thinking, what if that bastard Hun Xian gets desperate and calls his own mother over? His mother is a Seven-Star Dou Zun, and that old woman has a high status in the Second Clan. We need to find someone who can keep her in check, so we'll have to go all out this time!"

That bastard warned:

"This spatial jade can only be used once, Cheng E, you must use it with caution."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

At this point, Yang Shan played with the spatial jade scroll in his hand for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Damn it, does the Soul-Slaying Branch Hall have any Soul Sages as spies?"

Hun Dan said awkwardly, "I'm not sure about that yet, but given Hun Xian's personality, he definitely has it!"

Yang Shan: "Tell me, if Hun Xian knew that I was about to go on a mission alone, and that the route was easy to predict, would he try to harm me?"

Hun Dan's eyes lit up:

"I knew you were full of tricks!"
