Soul Palace No. 1 Player

Chapter 701: Resolving Resentment with Wine
Good guy!
Yang Shan exclaimed, "What a guy!"
This Xiao Ding is really a talented person!

Not only did he openly try to turn enemies into friends, he also secretly wanted to stir up conflict between Yang Shan and Huo Zhi.

On the surface, he remained calm, but secretly communicated with others without leaving any evidence.

Yang Shandu had an urge to get Xiao Ding to work under him.

I'm afraid Xiao Ding's ability to assess the situation is almost at its limit.

However, Yang Shan was basically certain that Xiao Ding would not be taken away by any other forces or even players.

Judging from Xiao Ding's current performance, he is the "brain" of the new generation of the Xiao clan.

In fact, Xiao Ding's strategic performance was so outstanding that Yang Shan couldn't help but think that this was an "auxiliary reinforcement" given to the new generation of the Xiao clan after they became too weak.

Except for Xiao Xun'er, all the other young patriarchs of the eight ancient tribes have not yet shown up.

Except for Xiao Xun'er and Hun Feng in the original novel, who have divine bloodline, the other young clan leaders should only be of the ninth rank.

A quick comparison will show that the Xiao clan currently has only four geniuses, while the Yan clan already has seven.

Huo Zhi is young, but she has ninth-grade bloodline!
Give Huo Zhi some more time to develop, and when the level gap is infinitely narrowed, the new generation of the Yan clan will have two ninth-grade bloodlines.

Huo Zhiyou’s Red Lotus Karma Fire ranks eighth on the list of strange fires.

As for the young clan leader Huo Xuan, in the original novel, he obtained the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, which ranked sixth on the Strange Fire List.

The strongest fighter of the new generation of the Xiao clan, "Emperor Xiao Qian", obtained the Azure Dragon Divine Tree, which ranked fifth on the list of exotic trees.

But in front of the "twin stars" of the Yan clan, Emperor Xiao Qian might be alone and unable to stand up.

The Xiao clan, which ranks first among the eight clans, has undoubtedly attracted the attention of all transcendent forces.

If there is a chance to bring down the Xiao clan, other transcendent forces would probably not want to let it go.

The relatively weak new generation of geniuses of the Xiao clan will probably be the first group to be targeted!

Therefore, recruiting Xiao Ding was just a thought.

Not to mention the issue of loyalty, Yang Shan does not intend to have too much contact with all the geniuses of the Xiao clan.

If we are labeled as "Xiao Clan Alliance", we will be in a lot of trouble!
Soul Palace is different, Soul Palace is just a branch.

Even if he officially joined the Soul Clan
Emperor Hun Tian is so awesome!

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Even with the lessons learned from five thousand years ago, I'm afraid all other transcendent forces will be more wary of the Xiao clan at this moment.

After all, the Soul Clan was so powerful five thousand years ago.

But the Xiao clan is awesome, that’s the current situation!
Yang Shan even suspected that Emperor Hun Tian would behave relatively weakly in front of Xiao Xuan whenever there was a grand gathering of the Eight Clans or similar occasions.

It was as if they were afraid of angering Xiao Xuan, which would lead to the Soul Clan being suppressed or even destroyed by the Xiao Clan.
And he definitely acted like a weakling in front of the leaders of other transcendent forces!

Although these are just Yang Shan’s speculations at the moment, the current actions of the Soul Palace and even the Soul Clan, as well as the words spoken by all the Soul Clan and Soul Palace people that Yang Shan has come into contact with.

Even if this speculation is not the truth, it should be pretty close.

"You are so cowardly, Lord Soul Emperor, hehehe"

Naturally, Yang Shan would not be ungrateful and refuse to accept Xiao Ding's "good intentions".

Huo Zhi is indeed a strong enemy. If it is a life-and-death battle, Yang Shan will definitely not fight Huo Zhi without sufficient intelligence.

Because based on Huo Zhi's current panel and combat performance, Yang Shan might fail!
The old bastard never fights a battle he is not sure of winning!
As for Xiao Ding's actual purpose of showing good intentions.
Yang Zhenjun was underestimated after all!
Xiao Ding estimated that at most he would put Yang Shan's level of intelligence on the same level as Xiao Li.

But actually
This old cunning guy Yang Shan has been playing with his brain ever since his previous life!

The Black Horn Region's Blood Robbery Tower formed alliances and disguised itself as Han Feng to divert trouble, using a group of guardians from the Guiku Branch Hall to create a danger of genocide for the Snake People.

Use the Phoenix Dynasty to make Feng Qing'er return to his loyalty, and then use Feng Qing'er to suppress the Phoenix Dynasty, so that Fenglei Pavilion will go from fighting between Lei and Huang to uniting, and take the lead.

Hundan withdrew from the competition for the young master, tried his best to protect Danghun Tower, and obtained the full support of the top leaders of the Soul Palace.

These operations were all led by Yang Shan!

Xiao Ding is still a little naive if he wants to play these games with him!
Xiao Ding simply understood the situation and knew that they were destined not to join the Fenyan Valley!
Therefore, Xiao Ding did not want the Yan clan's genius to join the Burning Flame Valley to gain an advantage.

Using Yang Shan as a knife can also provoke conflicts.

Unfortunately, Yang Shan’s knife has always been in his own hand!

Xiao Ding took the initiative to tell Yang Shan some information about Huo Zhi.

The martial arts that Huo Zhi practiced was one of the Yan clan's treasured martial arts: "The Mysterious Canon of the Fire Emperor"!
However, with Huo Zhi's current cultivation level, he could only learn the basics of "The Profound Canon of the Fire Emperor" by relying on the special advantages of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Even so, this basic chapter has already reached the quasi-heavenly level!

In addition, the quality of Huo Zhi's boxing gloves has surpassed the limit of Yuanqi and reached the level of quasi-holy weapon.

As for fighting skills, most of them had been forced out by Xiao Li.

It is a pity that Xiao Li did not use the "Sky Meteorite Finger".

Huo Zhi did not come up with any advanced fighting skills that surpassed the Earth level.

The two sides switched between offense and defense very quickly, and seemed to have a certain tacit understanding, neither giving the other a chance to display stronger fighting skills.

Xiao Ding: "Huo Zhi is treated the same as the young patriarch Huo Xuan in the new generation of the Yan clan. She should have learned the heavenly fighting skills, but the consumption of using heavenly fighting skills is too great."

Yang Shan recalled that in the ancient wilderness, Xiao Li and Gu Yao, one used the "Sky Meteorite Finger" and the other used the "Great Extinction Finger". Both were extremely powerful, but after using them, their auras were indeed weakened a lot.

It is naturally a powerful weapon used to deal with monsters with low intelligence and thick skin and flesh.

But at the current stage, I'm afraid no one has the ability to practice the heavenly level fighting skills to perfection.

Not only will the power increase be weakened, but the activation time will also be very long.

When Xiao Li and Huo Zhi fight each other this time, I'm afraid both of them are hoping that the other will use the heavenly-level fighting skills first.

Only by buying enough time can the Heaven-level fighting skills have an almost decisive effect.

If time is insufficient, it will also have the effect of finality, but in the opposite direction.

Both sides played very cautiously, and even Yang Shan couldn't tell who had the advantage.

But when the protective qi of both sides dropped by more than half, after a fist-gun collision, both sides were knocked back dozens of feet.

At this moment, Yang Shan suddenly felt that the power of heaven and earth around Huo Zhi seemed to be moving differently.

A deep red fire lotus appeared on Huo Zhi's fingers.

When the fire lotus was placed between the eyebrows, the energy of heaven and earth within a hundred feet radius of Huo Zhi began to fluctuate violently like boiling water.

The energy of heaven and earth is originally colorless, but it can transform into the color of any energy between heaven and earth.

Just like now, the energy of heaven and earth that was boiling within a hundred feet radius of Huo Zhi turned into the color of flames and gathered towards the center of Huo Zhi's eyebrows.

The standard for judging a heavenly grade technique is whether it is possible to activate the technique without practicing, and directly plunder the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of at least a hundred feet for personal use!

Judging from the situation of Huo Zhi's activation of the technique, this range is indeed barely up to the standard, but it is not as exaggerated as "plundering". It would be more appropriate to describe it as "absorbing".

The efficiency of obtaining energy is not very fast.

Even so, Huo Zhi's fighting spirit has recovered quite significantly.

On the other hand, Xiao Li took out a pill and was about to swallow it, but he saw Xiao Ding slightly shaking his head.

Huo Zhi asked calmly:

"Why, you don't want to fight anymore?"

Xiao Li put away the pills and the spear together:
"I can't outlast you. The result of the fight is obvious."

Huo Zhi: "I don't need to use this method, but I just want to settle the matter today." Huo Zhi looked at Yang Shan:

"Young Master of Fenglei Pavilion, it's our turn."

Huo Zhi is a very warlike woman. She just finished a fight and seems like she is not satisfied yet.

Yang Shan was not so narcissistic as to think that Huo Zhi's eyes looking at him were different from Xiao Li's, which meant that she was interested in him.

Eyes can be deceiving.

But the system prompts no!
[Ding! Players, please note that Huo Zhi is very interested in the wonders of the world you control and would like to fight you. Huo Zhi's favorability +1! ]

Many misunderstandings in this world arise from misjudgment of behavior.

Whenever the eyes of the opposite sex stay on you for a little longer, most people will wonder "Is he (she) interested in me?"
The girl Huo Zhi is interested in the strangeness of his world!
Tianyao Company is good at making things happen.

In the original novel, when Huo Zhi looked at Xiao Yan, he was only interested in Xiao Yan's strange fire.

Now, in the game, Huo Zhi’s interests have expanded directly to all the wonders of the world.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

On the list of wonders of heaven and earth, there is a gap between nineteen to eleven and ten to five.

Silver Moon Thunder is obviously no match for the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

But the Northern Seven Star Thunder is not afraid of the Red Lotus Karma Fire at all!
A strange battle between heaven and earth with a top ten ranking.

Yang Shan was also very interested.

If possible, Yang Shan would actually be happy to discuss and research the wonders of heaven and earth with Huo Zhi.

Huo Zhi is definitely not as brainless as Xiao Kuang.

But as the most outstanding woman of the new generation of the Yan clan, it is natural for Huo Zhi to be proud.

Therefore, it is better to knock her down and let her ask the question herself.

Whoever takes the initiative will be passive.

This is not only applicable to love between men and women, but can also be used in many situations and psychological games.

Yang Shenqing is an expert in this field!

"Miss Huo Zhi, you said that we should settle the matter today. It won't take too long. You should first cleanse the mixed energy of heaven and earth in your body."

The heavenly level martial arts was indeed powerful, and could directly absorb the energy in a certain space for use during battle.

But this kind of energy exists naturally between heaven and earth.

Even in active volcano areas, there are still different energies such as gold, wood, water, earth, wind, thunder, space, and even light, darkness, and poison.

For practitioners, only the energy that is compatible with their own techniques can be easily absorbed.

Other energies all need to be refined.

After being refined, most of the energy will no longer have obvious attributes and will become pure spiritual energy to be absorbed by practitioners.

A small portion of it is unusable energy. If it is not eliminated from the body in time and settles for a long time, it will cause irreversible damage to the foundation, potential, and even the body itself.

This is the reason why many practitioners often develop hidden illnesses in their later years.

In their later years, they were obsessed with improving their cultivation and breaking through their limits. When practicing, they pursued efficiency as much as possible, and the unusable energy in their bodies accumulated more and more.

This is a shackle that practitioners cannot break. Even a Dou Di strongman cannot bypass this link directly.

Therefore, even though the advanced heavenly skills can absorb a large amount of the power of heaven and earth and transform it into fighting spirit in a short period of time, the dross in the body must be eliminated afterwards.

Seeing that Huo Zhi did not respond, Yang Shan took out a jar of wine from his ring:
"No hurry, I just got tired of watching and feel a little thirsty."

After saying that, Yang Shan threw the wine jar directly to Huo Zhi:
"Don't worry if it's poisonous, you can drink some."

Huo Zhi nodded:
"Thank you."

Yang Shan took out another jar, then looked at the group of people around him who were staring at him eagerly, sighed, and with a wave of his hand, placed a jar of wine in front of all the geniuses present.

Not to mention Xiao Li, who has some grudges with Yang Shan.

Even in front of Xiao Kuang, who wanted to chop Yang Shan into pieces, there was a jar:
"Be economical, this stuff can't be bought in Zhongzhou!"

Huo Ran bent down and picked up the wine, smiling:

"Hehe, the younger brother of the eldest lady of the ancient clan invited me to drink. I have to taste it."

Of course, Yang Shan had to give enough face to Senior Tang Zhen.

Yang Shan personally brought the wine to Tang Zhen and handed it to him with his head down.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Ding's expression was extremely complicated.

His original intention was to create a conflict between Yang Shan and the Yan clan's genius.

After all, although Yang Shan is not a member of the Thunder Clan, he is the one in power in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and the Xuan Nu Lei Sheng standing behind him is also from the Thunder Clan.

Letting the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan fight will undoubtedly give the Xiao Clan's geniuses more room to perform.

Unexpectedly, a few words and the wine on the floor calmed the tense atmosphere.

Tang Zhen also noticed these details and began to admire Yang Shandu.

How many young people, especially those with great abilities, can achieve the same level of vision as Yang Shan?

He was pinching Xiao Kuang's neck and threatening him just now, and now he's offering him drinks!

When drinking, Yang Shan would naturally be closer to the Yan clan's geniuses.

After all, I and Huo Ran don’t know each other without fighting.

Where there is wine, there must be stories. Yang Shan and Huo Ran talked to each other about what happened when Emperor Wanbao hid the treasure.

Tianjiao is also curious, especially when it involves the eldest daughter of the ancient clan.

Yang Shan and the Yan clan's geniuses became more and more excited as they talked, and Xiao Ding's face became darker and darker.

It was beyond Xiao Ding's expectation that things would turn out like this.

Until Huo Zhi put down the empty jar of wine and said calmly:

"The wine is good, Yang Shan, it's time to get down to business."

Yang Shan nodded and smiled at the Yan clan's geniuses:
"If you want to know what happened next, let's talk next time!"

When Yang Shan passed by Xiao Kuang, he saw the unopened wine jar at Xiao Kuang's feet and said unhappily:

"You don't want to lose face, do you?"

Xiao Ding was about to send a message to Xiao Kuang to ask him to drink it to avoid any more unpleasantness, but Yang Shan had already taken the jar of wine away and said coldly:

"Xiao Kuang, not bad! You have guts. Since you don't want to resolve this grudge, I will beat you up every time I see you in the future. I don't need any more reasons!"

Tang Zhen almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Before, I praised Yang Shan for being so magnanimous that he treated his enemy to drinks!

After all this time, you are setting a trap for your enemy, right?
In front of so many people, Xiao Kuang did not give Yang Shan any face.

After that, if Yang Shan took the initiative to attack Xiao Kuang, he would really have a legitimate reason!
In fact, Yang Shan was mainly worried that he had tortured Xiao Kuang too badly just now, and was afraid that Xiao Kuang would not dare to attack him in the future.

Yang Shan knew that Xiao Kuang would never drink his wine.

so.
At least the next time they meet, Yang Shan can be in the right, take the initiative, and extort more money from Xiao Kuang!
