The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 220
Hearing the team leader's explanation, Shen Xiaotao suddenly realized.

What "don't let go of a remnant of Huoyun State" is all a high-sounding excuse!

The purpose of Manager Han is to consume the remaining combat supplies as much as possible, and then go back to the Haiya Chamber of Commerce for reimbursement. The Huoyun State merchant ship in front of him is just an excuse for Han Fu to stock up!

Thinking of this, Shen Xiaotao was speechless.

Now that the leaders have spoken, let's be soldiers and we're done!

Following the decisive battle in the Outlying Islands Strait a few hours ago, the Haiya Fleet once again fired ballista salvos at the merchant ships of Huoyun State like a military exercise. Under the bombardment of dozens of ballistas in turn, the entire deck of the merchant ship was destroyed. It was completely overturned, and the sideboard was pierced by several ballistas in succession, and the sea water began to pour into the inside of the hull.

After being bombarded by ballistas from more than 20 giant ships, the damaged Huoyunzhou merchant ship could not hold it anymore. The hull of the entire merchant ship began to tilt significantly to the side, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

At this moment, with the help of the eagle eye technique, Yang Lu clearly saw a big white flag hanging from the ship's only remaining mizzenmast.

The lookout on the Ruicheng also reported immediately: "Guard Han, the other party seems to have expressed willingness to surrender!"

"You must have read it wrong!" Han Fulai categorically denied the information brought by the lookout without even looking at the merchant ship opposite, and said on the spot: "I think the other party is clearly going to fight to the end and continue to shoot without my order." Don't stop!"

Facing his own boss's blatant accusation, the lookout and the standard-bearer dared not refute at all.

These two are senior crew members of the Ruicheng, and no one who can achieve this position is a fool. They know very well that if they refute Han Fulai at this time, it will be their turn to feed the fish in the sea next.

Therefore, the semaphore displayed by the Ruicheng remains unchanged:
keep shooting!
The indiscriminate bombardment of the ballista lasted for more than ten minutes. It was not until the merchant ship in Huoyun State sank completely that Han Fulai reluctantly expressed that thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the remnants of Huoyun State were finally prevented from escaping.

The continuous indiscriminate bombing also consumed all the ammunition in the Haiya Fleet's inventory. Even the most valuable parts of the ballista, those crossbow strings refined from the bones and muscles of monsters in the Tianshu Mountains, were abruptly broken several times. .According to Team Leader Qin, Han Fulai used tens of thousands of Lingshi coins to blow up the Huoyun State merchant ship and sank it, so it was a well-deserved death.

So far, the Battle of Outlying Islands has finally come to a successful conclusion.

Three days later, the Haiya Fleet arrived at Yanbo Island and completed the previously agreed deal with Xu Tong.

The crowd did not stop, and sailed directly from Yanbo Island to the sea fog area outside the outlying island. After several hours of sailing, the sky covered with sea fog suddenly became clear, and Yang Lu felt the long-lost aura environment again through his spiritual sense.

Yang Lu felt fine, but Lin Muhu, a monk from the Yufeng Sect who was on the same boat, obviously felt relieved.

For the native cultivators in the Kyushu cultivation world, the existence of the heavenly way and the aura environment in Kyushu is as natural as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

Whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, they are already used to the protection provided by the Heavenly Dao of Kyushu. Living on an outlying island without the protection of the Heavenly Dao, everyone always has a sense of insecurity that someone will murder them at any time; As unnatural as a missing arm.

After meditating for a while and recovering some mana, Lin Muhu raised his hand and sent a spell signal to the sky.

As the magic firework exploded, there was a sudden wave of spiritual energy in the distant sky, and then I saw a flying spirit boat the size of a private yacht approaching the flagship Rui Cheng of the Sea Cliff Fleet at lightning speed.

Noticing Yang Lu's questioning gaze, Lin Muhu clasped his fists and said, "The crisis on the outlying island happened suddenly, and the Yufeng Sect is nearly 20 miles away from the island. To be able to achieve great success, I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Yang and Guanshi Han for their generous help!"

Seeing the flying spirit boat coming straight towards Lin Muhu, Yang Lu thought thoughtfully, "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you ready to say goodbye?"

"That's right, but we'll see each other soon!" Noticing that Yang Lu was slightly surprised, Lin Muhu quickly added, "I don't mean anything else, I just saw that Yang Daoyou, as a senior apprentice of Li Xingchang, has already cultivated to In the early stage of Qi refining, you probably won't miss the trial in the outer battlefield seven months later!"

Yang Lu quickly waved his hand and said, "Nine deaths in the foreign battlefield. According to my current cultivation progress, I can only cultivate to the middle stage of Qi refining at most. Although I have reached the minimum trial threshold, it is still not suitable for adventures in the foreign battlefield!"

"It's such a pity!" Lin Muhu smacked his lips regretfully, and couldn't help persuading, "Although the battlefield outside the territory is dangerous, it is also a great opportunity for cultivators like us who are not from aristocratic families to turn around and counterattack. Senior Xiao Huang, the Ascension Immortal of your faction, killed three Golden Wheels of Merit in the outer battlefield back then, which can be called an unprecedented myth in the outer battlefield, if you miss this opportunity, you will waste five years in vain again!"

The extraterritorial battlefield is an ancient battlefield where immortals and demons fought, and it is also known as the most fierce place in Kyushu.

Killing someone on an extraterritorial battlefield will not only not lose merit, but will instead increase merit. It can be called the ultimate shortcut for cultivators to kill for treasure and change their fate against the sky.

According to the Heavenly Dao Convention signed by the seven sects of the Kyushu Cultivation World, practitioners in the Qi Refining Stage must have participated in foreign battlefields before they can advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Otherwise, a large amount of merit will be deducted for breach of contract. For two years, he did not continue to break through to a higher level.

Yang Lu even highly suspected that the so-called seven sects extraterritorial battlefield agreement was essentially a special method used by high-level cultivators to control the total number of low-level cultivators and prevent excessive introversion.

This speculation is not groundless. President Lu Yang mentioned in his memoir "The Beginning and End of the Third Lingshi Financial Crisis" that at the climax of the third Lingshi financial crisis, Tian Shangcheng, then head of the Shenhuo Sect, even once It is proposed to amend this extraterritorial battlefield agreement, and it is mandatory that every practitioner in the refining period must participate in at least two consecutive extraterritorial battlefield trials. He wants to use violence to reduce the total number of cultivators and reduce the pressure on the payment of spirit stone coupons.

Although the proposal was jointly rejected by the other six factions because it was too frenzied, President Lu Yang also pointed out that if he hadn't proposed a better "Lingshi Reserve Bank Plan", Tian Shangcheng's plan might not have passed, at least it It is more reliable than the plan proposed by the head of the Yufeng School, Yi Yuanzu, to tax all high-level cultivators and subsidize low-level cultivators. This kind of "Yi Yuanzu Plan" to divide the land from local tyrants was rejected even in the brewing stage up.

It is precisely because the battlefield outside the territory is too dangerous, Yang Lu always feels that he should practice for a few more years like Li Qingning before considering signing up.

Seeing that Yang Lu had made up his mind, Lin Muhu stopped persuading him.

He stood up and made a vertical leap, then jumped onto the flying spirit boat of the Yufeng faction that was coming towards him.

This flying spirit boat should be personally controlled by a monk above the foundation stage of the Yufeng Sect. In an instant, it turned into a blue rainbow and disappeared in the southeast skyline.
