The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 129 The Battle Is Coming
Under the command of thousands of cultivators from the Mountain Eagle Sect, the mortals living in the outer city of Tianshu City are evacuating towards the inner city in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the out-of-town cultivators stranded in the inner city of Tianshu City began to flock towards the outer city wall.

Slaying demons and eliminating demons is the ultimate shortcut for cultivators with low academic level to accumulate merits of the Dao of Heaven. All cultivators from other places want to take this opportunity to beat up the dogs in the water and kill some ordinary monsters to accumulate merits.

Although the news of the attack of the Black Lake Flood King has gradually spread with the return of the attacked monks of the Mountain Eagle Sect, but similar to the judgment of the elders of the Mountain Eagle Sect, no cultivator thinks that the Black Lake Flood Dragon King can cause serious damage to the Mountain Eagle Sect. Substantial threat.

Just the two magic barriers in the inner and outer cities, and the nine-turn Tianshu formation, are not the existence that the Black Lake Jiaowang can resist, not to mention the Shanying faction has worked hard in the Tianshu Mountains for more than [-] years, and its background is absolutely absolute. There are only these things on the bright side.

Not to mention the Black Pool Flood King in the early stage of Jindan.

Even if it is a big monster in the later stage of Jindan, it is absolutely impossible to shake the real overlord of the Tianshu Mountains!

What's more, Zhongzhou's big brother Wuliang Sword Sect will never sit idly by such outrageous incidents as monsters attacking the city. It's almost time to arrive.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Tianshu City is as stable as Mount Tai.

Under normal circumstances, if a cultivator wants to enter the nature reserve to hunt monsters, he needs to spend huge sums of money to purchase hunting licenses from the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Mountain Eagle Sect. Killed demons and demons with his ability.

Although the corpses of monster beasts must belong to the Mountain Eagle Sect responsible for cleaning the battlefield, the merit of killing monsters and eliminating demons is their own. In the eyes of many monks from other places, this monster beast siege is simply a free "merit". buffet"!
This monster attack is undoubtedly a golden opportunity!
Of course, the upper echelons of the Shanying faction were very upset about the behavior of monks from other places who blatantly "snatched the head of the demon".

From the perspective of the senior leaders of the Shanying faction, all the monsters inhabiting the Tianshu Mountains are the private property of their own sect, and this group of out-of-town cultivators jumping out to reap their merits is equivalent to eating meat from their own pot.

But after all, these guys are all under the banner of "doing justice for the sky" and "killing demons and eliminating demons". It is not easy for the mountain eagle monks to restrict the personal freedom of these monks from other places. It can indeed significantly reduce the pressure on the magic barrier, and the senior leaders of the Mountain Eagle faction pinched their noses and acquiesced to this behavior.

As long as the Black Pool Flood King is killed, any loss can be made up for!

Liu Qi and Yang Lu also took advantage of this opportunity to follow the group of out-of-town monks to the outer city.

However, neither of them chose to follow the other monks to the outermost city wall. Instead, they both found a commanding height that was convenient for observing the situation in the city and hid.

Seeing that the Mountain Eagle faction began to clear the walls of the outer city and organize mortals to take refuge in the inner city, a sneer appeared on the corner of Liu Qi's mouth: "As expected. Not only did the Mountain Eagle faction not plan to rely on the magic barrier to stand firm and wait for help, but instead relied on the Jiuzhuantian With the power of the Great Pivot Formation, if you want to kill the Black Pool Flood King in reverse, you are simply asking for your own death!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, he casually picked up a message spell and sent it to other monks of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce who had already been lurking. This message contained no extra content, only the simplest six words——

Execute the backup plan!

After sending the message spell, Liu Qi's handprint changed again, pointing lightly at the top of his head.

One thousand meters above Liu Qi's head, a khaki magic imprint suddenly appeared. This magic imprint has no actual function, it is just a special symbol, even monks in the realm of inducing energy into the body can use it.

Since it was at noon, under the glare of the sun, this magic imprint looked very dim. If you didn't observe it carefully, others would not notice it at all.

In addition, Tianshu City has entered a state of general mobilization, and various magic lights are constantly shuttling in the low altitude like raindrops. Not only are the colorful aura rays so dazzling that people can't open their eyes, but the surrounding aura environment is even more chaotic, and no one will pay attention at all. To the subtle aura fluctuations caused by the magic imprint.

However, no one noticed in Tianshu City, which doesn't mean no one noticed outside Tianshu City.

Since Tianshu City has promulgated martial law, with the erection of the super magic barrier in the outer city of Tianshu City, unless one holds the identity token of a high-level Mountain Eagle faction, any communication spells will be actively blocked by the energy barrier of the outer city.

Although the spell barrier can block communication spells, it does not have the ability to block visual signals.

In order to cooperate with Liu Qi's special operation, all parties in the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce have agreed a complete set of visual signals in advance, so that when the communication of the communication spell is not smooth, the coordinated actions of all parties can still be maintained.

At this moment, Zhu Ziming was leading his trusted servant He Jie to ambush on the side of a lone mountain outside Tianshu City. He was staring at the situation inside Tianshu City, for fear of missing any details.

After seeing the magic imprint issued by Liu Qi, Zhu Ziming's slightly tired expression suddenly cheered up, and he quickly turned to He Jie and said: "Guard Liu has sent us a signal, and this time we are implementing a backup plan, the aura mine Have you arranged everything? This operation is related to the life and death of our Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, so nothing can go wrong!"

With Zhu Ziming's suspicious personality, he had no intention of letting other people intervene in this secret operation in cooperation with the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce. Even if He Jie was a hardcore house slave who had been with him for more than ten years, he couldn't fully trust him.

But relying on him alone, it is really a bit of a lack of skills.

On the one hand, he had to stay in Tianshu City to maintain close communication with Liu Qi. On the other hand, the aura mines outside Tianshu City also needed someone to lay them. He couldn't bring dozens of aura mines back and forth to the city gate.

Because of this, he called He Jie over bravely to help him lay the spiritual mine.

Naturally, He Jie also knew that this operation was of great importance, so he hurriedly bowed down and reported: "Young master, I have checked many times against the "Aura Landmine Product Manual" that comes with Zijin Pavilion, and there will never be any problems! "

The main reason why President Lu Yang is full of praise for the aura mine is that its operation is very simple, and it can even be laid by ordinary people.

President Lu once said that if it weren’t for the spirit mines, they would still need to be guided by the spiritual thoughts of the practitioners to detonate smoothly. In addition, the spirit mines would need to consume priceless spirit stones every time they were used. I am afraid that it can completely rewrite the social order of "realm is king" in the cultivation world.

These batches of aura landmines imported from Northern Mozhou have been bound to Zhu Ziming's spiritual consciousness. As long as He Jie lays them according to the procedure in the product manual, Zhu Ziming can detonate all of them with a single movement of his divine sense.

Zhu Ziming took a deep breath and didn't give any further instructions.

Seeing this, He Jie took the initiative to ask for instructions: "Young master, what should we do next?"

Zhu Ziming glanced at He Jie from the corner of his eye, and said expressionlessly: "Leave the next thing to me, you can evacuate first!"

"Okay, young master!"

He Jie nodded, making a gesture to turn around and leave.

However, he had just turned halfway, and his chest felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. The huge impact made his strong body tremble slightly. Slowly looking down, he found a hideous streak appeared on his chest. The terrible wound, a large amount of blood gushing out, dyed his poor-made coarse cloth clothes crimson.

Normal people have suffered such serious injuries, I am afraid there is no possibility of survival at all...

After this thought flashed through He Jie's mind, his body seemed to lose all his strength, and his knees slowly fell to the ground, but because of the massive secretion of adrenaline, he didn't feel the severe pain that he should have.

He looked up with all his strength, only to find that Zhu Ziming was also looking at him coldly.

Noticing the gaze of his personal servant, Zhu Ziming said in an emotionless voice, "Ajie, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's just that you know too many things, I can't keep you This hidden danger!"

He Jie is a prostitute slave of the Zhu family. He has signed a life-and-death contract and is not protected by the Heavenly Dao of Kyushu. Therefore, even if he is killed by Zhu Ziming, the master, Zhu Ziming will not lose a single bit of merit.At this moment, he suddenly realized that Zhu Ziming chose to take himself, a prostitute slave, to carry out the mission alone. I am afraid that he had no intention of letting him go back alive from the beginning!

However, He Jie didn't even have the strength to speak at this time, so he could only stare at Zhu Ziming with eyes full of resentment.

Zhu Ziming saw He Jie's expression, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ajie, this world is so cruel, you are just a lowly prostitute, but I am a noble cultivator, the anger of the weak Nothing can be changed, only the strong can set the rules of the game, if you want to blame it, blame this unfair world! As your master, what I can do is to help you relieve the pain before death a little..."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Ziming formed a palm with his right hand and slashed out a light blade again.

Due to the close distance between the two sides, the light blade directly slashed across He Jie's neck, ending his life before he felt the pain.

After killing his servant with his own hands, Zhu Ziming turned his attention to Tianshu City again, as if nothing had happened.

He didn't even need to dispose of He Jie's body, because there were such uninhabited mountains all around Tianshu City, and if a lot of mortals died in this kind of barren mountains, no one would notice it for decades.

Compared with his servant who died tragically, Zhu Ziming was more concerned about whether Liu Qi had sent new instructions.

Just like what he said just now, the weak in the cultivation world of Kyushu have no human rights at all. Compared to Zhu Ziming, He Jie is undoubtedly a weak person, but compared to Liu Hanxing, is the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce not a weak person?

At the same time that Zhu Ziming was killing the killer, at the top of a high tower with a wide view outside Tianshu City, several foundation-building monks wearing blue-gray mountain eagle elders' costumes were also paying close attention to the situation inside and outside Tianshu City. Look very dignified.

Although Liu Qi's magic imprint was faintly flashing above the heads of the elders of the Mountain Eagle Sect, they failed to notice it, because all their attention was firmly attracted by the faint changes in the distant forest.

I saw that more than ten miles away from the city wall of Tianshu City, the entire forest seemed to be alive. From time to time, monsters of different shapes and sizes could be seen walking through the dense forest like lightning.

Hidden in the shadows of the woods, there are countless monsters. The elders of the Mountain Eagle Sect can only roughly judge from the chaotic aura fluctuations. There are at least thousands of low-level monsters with different levels of cultivation. The number is already more than the number of cultivators in Tianshu City!
"Heitan Flood King is indeed the king of the Tianshu Mountains Nature Reserve. He can drive so many monsters. Judging by the momentum, one-third of the monsters in the nature reserve may have gathered outside Tianshu City. Our Mountain Eagle Sect has worked hard for hundreds of years to allow so many monsters to thrive here. After the trouble caused by the Black Lake Flood King, the nature reserve may not be able to recover without more than a hundred years of recuperation." A figure The tall elder of the Mountain Eagle Sect sighed, with a look of sadness on his brows.

"Elder Huan, this is not what I'm most worried about." Fei Fan looked at the vast forest in the distance, always feeling a little uneasy, "The Tianshu Mountain Nature Reserve has a history of nearly 5000 years since its establishment. The monster beasts have long developed the survival instinct of not wanting to leave the nature reserve easily. The nature of this Black Lake Flood King is restless, so why did he suddenly leave the habitat where he has lived for hundreds of years and come to Tianshu on his own initiative? What about sending the city to death?"

Elder Huan rubbed his nose and said: "It is said that this Black Pool Flood King was born 800 years ago by the master of beast control of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Is it broken? I have heard for a long time that the genetic characteristics of monsters bred by artificial insemination by cultivators do not seem to be very stable."

Knowing that Elder Huan was joking, Fei Fan shook his head and said, "Unless you enter the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual intelligence of monster beasts is not much higher than that of ordinary beasts. Is there a secret?"

Elder Huan immediately raised his eyebrows: "Senior Brother Fei, have you changed your mind?"

Fei Fan said solemnly: "That's not true, but I always feel a little uneasy. Although taking the initiative to kill this beast can not only recover the joint losses caused by this beast disaster, but also repay the sect's finances, it is better to stick to it and wait for it." Relief is more secure. Sect Master Chen should already be on his way back, as long as we pass through the magic barrier and persist for three hours, we will be able to get through this crisis safely."

Regarding Fei Fan's worries, Elder Huan was obviously very disdainful: "I think brother is still worrying too much! A beast is a beast after all, and it can't make any waves at all. Even if Sect Master Chen isn't here, it's easy for us to take it down!"

Hearing the words, other Shanying faction elders also echoed, "Elder Huan is right. Now that there are so many monsters besieging the city outside Tianshu City, if it is only supported by the magic barrier and dragged for three hours, I am afraid that it will not be consumed. Thousands of spirit stones!"

"That's true! The annual surplus of our Mountain Eagle Sect is less than 2000 million Lingshi coins. It really shouldn't be wasted like this."

"I also agree with Elder Huan's suggestion. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, the Nine-Turn Tianshu Grand Formation should also be used!"

The amount of Shanying faction's financial income is directly related to the vital interests of the top leaders of each sect. All the elders expressed their chests, saying that what Elder Huan said is very true, and they must use thunder to kill the Black Pool King!

Seeing that the elders were full of confidence, Fei Fan didn't know what these guys were planning.

What these guys chanted were righteous slogans, and all they planned in their hearts were their own business. Everyone clearly wanted to kill the Black Lake Flood King to share the spoils, but no one was willing to admit it publicly.

Compared with these elders who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, Fei Fan, the acting head, was obviously under more pressure.

If the plan goes well, of course it will be "Hello, hello everyone", but if there is anything wrong with the plan, these guys will definitely find a way to pin the blame on themselves.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, even if Fei Fan wants to retreat, there is no way to retreat, so he sighed quietly: "If this is the case, then I hope everything goes well!"
