The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 261 Opening

Although the standards of the Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference are very high, there are not many vassal sects whose head personally leads the team to participate.

The heads of the vassal sects of the Wuliang Sword Sect are all similar to the officials of the frontier. They not only have to deal with a lot of daily work, but also take time to retreat and practice. It is difficult to squeeze out free time to participate in any qi refining competitions.

Even though Yang Lu was already doing well in Haiya City, he only met Jiang Hua'an twice in total.

One of them was the Immortal Ascension Conference, which was regarded as the most important event in Haiya City. As the leader of the Haiya faction, Jiang Hua'an had to attend, and the other time was after Li Qingning was assassinated, and Jiang Hua'an came to condolences in person. If such a vicious event is not handled well, It may even be published in the "Cultivation of Finance Weekly", it is definitely inappropriate for him not to come forward to deal with the aftermath in person.

Other than that, Yang Lu never saw Jiang Hua'an again.

Even so, the courtesy that Yang Lu received in the Haiya department was enough to make ordinary Haiya sect disciples envious. Many Haiya sect disciples, let alone meeting Jiang Huaan, probably had not had the chance to talk to Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe for several years after entering the school.

It is said that when He Mingyuan's daughter joined the Haiya sect, because Han Xinhe personally took care of her, she was even recognized as the second generation of immortals by the same group of disciples who joined the sect.

Therefore, the second-in-command sects like Su Yuanfeng who personally lead the team to participate in the Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference are considered to be very high standards. Most sects only send ordinary foundation-building elders to lead the team.

As the head of the dignified Mountain Hawk faction, Chen Ming chose to lead the team to participate in the competition in person. Obviously, he did not travel thousands of miles to seek humiliation. It seems that there is no problem with the information provided by Gu Yunzong. There is a high probability that the head of Chen Ming is interested in this sword discussion conference. Have an attempt.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, Su Yuanfeng and Chen Ming just looked at each other coldly, and didn't even say a word of politeness, and when they saw Yang Lu beside Su Yuanfeng, Chen Ming frowned on the spot.

Yang Lu defeated Liu Hanxing's plot by himself, and Chen Ming still recognized his ability.

He originally planned to wait for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to close down, and take the initiative to recruit Yang Lu under his command. When he was in Tianshu City, he had already hinted at it. Now that Yang Lu still chooses to cooperate with the Haiya faction, he can blame him for being happy. up!
However, Chen Ming's hostility did not last long.

After seeing the final grouping results of the Sword Discussion Conference, Master Chen's attitude took a 180-degree turn on the spot.

Chen Mingchuan's face-changing expression naturally couldn't hide from Yang Lu's piercing eyes.

Yang Lu knew very well in his heart that Master Chen must have seen that Li Qingning and Ye Chen were assigned to the same competition area, so he suddenly put on a warm smirk at himself.After all, if Ye Chen wanted to enter the top eight, he had to pass Li Qingning first anyway, and no matter how confident Chen Ming was in Ye Chen's strength, he didn't think he could beat Li Qingning.

If both Ye Chen and Li Qingning made it to the top [-], Yang Lu was almost certain that the head of Chen would come to him immediately to make a deal!

However, Yang Lu understood the truth of being tough and unyielding, he didn't seem to notice the change in Chen Ming's attitude, and showed a very friendly smile to Chen Ming, as if a younger generation happened to meet an elder who was eager to help him.

And Chen Ming saw that Yang Lu's attitude towards him was still enthusiastic, and the fake smile on his face seemed more sincere.

Su Yuanfeng didn't know that Yang Lu and Chen Ming had colluded with each other when they were in Tianshu City. Seeing Chen Ming's weird smile, the well-informed president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce was a little confused.

Could it be that the head of Chen couldn't bear the blow of the Tianshu City incident, did he have mental problems?

The two sides just passed each other in this weird atmosphere, neither of them took the initiative to say a word, they were all suffocating bad water in their stomachs, and they were going to show each other a good look at the upcoming Sword Discussion Conference.

With the official announcement of the lottery results, the five-yearly Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference will soon begin.

Before the official start of the Sword Discussion Conference, Yang Lu followed Su Yuanfeng to participate in several dinners organized by the Haiya faction.

Since Li Qingyang has tacitly allowed Yang Lu to bluff and deceive under his banner, Yang Lu's confidence in participating in the entertainment has also grown stronger, with an arrogant attitude of "I am backed by the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank", even when he was waiting for a seat. , They all sat directly next to Su Yuanfeng, chatting happily with the elders of Luoxia Sect and allies of the Haiya faction, and stared at the partners of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce in a daze.

Through the observation at the dinner table, Yang Lu did discover some interesting devil details.

For example, the comprehension forces represented by the Murong family in Luoxia City are obviously overly enthusiastic about the Haiya faction. This unusual enthusiasm has far surpassed the relationship between ordinary business partners, and even reached the relationship between Party A and Party B.

This made Yang Lu seriously suspect that these guys might have something to do with Su Yuanfeng.

Another example is that Yang Lu experienced the hidden energy of the sea cliff system for the first time through the dinner.

In just a few days, the big bosses who came to visit Su Yuanfeng could be described as an endless stream. Even because Su Yuanfeng's schedule was really tight, he was forced to refuse the party invitations of some elders of small sects.

The only exception was that Su Yuanfeng did not receive any monks from the Infinite Sword Sect, and it was not known whether it was because the Infinite Sword Sect would not participate in the Sword Discussion Conference, or because Su Yuanfeng wanted to avoid suspicion.

On the day when the Sword Discussion Conference started, Yang Lu accompanied Li Qingning to a huge hilltop square early in the day following the flow of people.

Unlike Yang Lu's imagined martial arts of masters, the Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference gave Yang Lu the feeling of participating in the Olympics. Looking around, there was a huge crowd of practitioners, and the popularity was at its peak, which showed the enthusiasm of the competition atmosphere.

On the huge square, eight large arenas have already been erected. They are built with three people hugging thick and thin Tianshu Mountain spirit wood and supplemented by hard marble floors. They are all separated by more than ten feet. It is covered by a light mask engraved with mysterious spirit patterns without dead ends. Obviously, a powerful protective fairy array was laid by the formation master to prevent the aftermath of the battle from hurting innocent people. On the side of the ring, there is a temporary viewing platform for watching the competition. monks sit down.

Since the martial arts industry in Luoxia City has been completely commercialized, the prices charged for viewing stands in different locations are naturally different.

Su Yuanfeng was a key entertainer of the Luoxia Sect, and everyone in Haiya City naturally got the best seats to watch the game. This is like the VIP boxes specially prepared by the Olympic Committees for celebrities and dignitaries from all over the world.

After taking his seat in the viewing platform, Yang Lu watched the lively scene of the Sword Discussion Conference, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

It stands to reason that on such occasions, the protagonist of Shuangwen would have to go up and pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in person, but when it was his turn to encounter such a thing, he could only sit in the stands like a villain Boss and engage in a black box It's really weird to watch my beautiful young lady go off to fight in person...

However, Li Qingning hadn't read Earth Shuang's article, so he didn't feel the disobedience of Yang Lu at all. He just kept rubbing his little hands, obviously a little eager to try, and couldn't wait to hit someone to test his practice results in the past year.

With the continuous influx of cultivators, before the official opening of the Sword Discourse Conference, the viewing platform was already full of nearly [-] cultivators.

Most of these cultivators are foundation-building stage monks, and [-] to [-] percent of them are golden core stage monks, who are the elders of the major vassal sects who accompanied the geniuses of this sect to participate in the competition.

At the position directly in front of the viewing platform, a huge red list several people tall stood up, with bowl-sized gilt fonts on it, and basic information such as the names, schools of origin, and grouping status of the cultivators participating in the competition were written in flamboyant patterns.
