The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 536 3+1 Meeting
Even in his dreams, Liu Hanxing would never have imagined that they had just formulated the next action plan, and the specific content of the plan had already been placed on the desks of the masters of the cultivation world in Haiya City.

Under Jiang Hua'an's personal presidency, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion also temporarily convened a "3+1" closed-door meeting to focus on the next countermeasures. Yang Lu, the representative of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce for intelligence.

After receiving Jiang Hua'an's meeting notice, Yang Lu didn't dare to delay for a moment, bid farewell to Li Qingning in a hasty manner, and immediately set off from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce headquarters to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the meeting.

This time he didn't come empty-handed, but brought with him the Yongjie Unity Gu worm that he bought from Fei Fan at a high price of 20 Lingshi coins.

When he was in the outer battlefield, Yang Lu relied on this Gu to coerce Ye Chen to do things for him, but this time the sea cliff department was in crisis, and this Gu worm became the strongest trump card in Yang Lu's hands again.

According to the information provided by Yang Chenglong, Qiu Bufeng's method of breaking the ban needs to artificially magnify Ye Chen and the secret room's sense of soul by a hundred times through the formation method, and then use Ye Chen's sixth sense to reversely sense the sea cliff archive room specific location.

If the sea cliff system is really desperate in the end, Yang Lu intends to use the bottom line to use this Gu worm to forcefully control Ye Chen, so that he has no time to mobilize his soul to sense.

This approach is simple and crude, but very effective.

If Fei Fan knew that the Gu worm in his hand had such a powerful effect back then, not only could he escort Li Qingning through the outer battlefield, but even save the entire sea cliff system at a critical moment, he would definitely regret it.

Yang Lu had no doubts that if Jiang Hua'an had the opportunity to buy this Gu worm with money, he would pay even 2000 million Lingshi coins!
Although the eternal knot unity Gu can completely defeat Liu Hanxing's conspiracy, if it is not impossible, Yang Lu does not want to use this kind of insidious method. to the front desk.

So far, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is only a business partner of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce on the surface, and has not had any direct confrontation with the Wuliang Sword Sect. Even if Zhu Ziming once wanted to drag the Qingning Chamber of Commerce into trouble, Yang Lu cleverly resorted to tricks Easily resolved.

After all, compared to the intricate Haiya faction, the background of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is too weak. The Wuliang Sword Party can't deal with the Haiya faction. Could it be that the small Qingning Chamber of Commerce can't handle it?
Therefore, Yang Lu has been trying his best to avoid standing on the opposite side of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and to hide behind the scenes as much as possible to use his methods.

What's more, Yang Lu didn't think that the Haiya Department could do without him. He always had a faint premonition in his heart that the Wuliang Sword Sect's order to block the Haiya Department, although it was beyond everyone's expectations, should not Jiang Hua'an's deployment was not disrupted.

This is not Yang Lu's speculation.

The main reason is that the performance of the Haiya Department during this period is really a little too calm, even though Liu Hanxing brought Ye Chen to Haiya City with great fanfare, making it clear that he was going to deal with the Haiya Department, but Jiang Hua'an and others were still indifferent.

As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Yang Lu felt that Jiang Hua'an must still have a hole in his hand!

Maybe Liu Hanxing wants to catch turtles in the sea cliff city urn, while Jiang Hua'an is planning to invite you into the urn for fun!
Therefore, before the Haiya Department showed his trump card, Yang Lu did not intend to take the initiative to reveal his trump card. After all, he is just a newcomer in Haiya City. At the critical moment, he still has to rely on the old money of Haiya City to top it out. This time Participating in the closed-door meeting, he was also very curious about what else the Haiya bosses could do!
In the case of flying in the flight of light, Yang Lu came to the gate of Haiya City Lord's Mansion after a few ups and downs.

This should be his second visit to Haiya City Lord's Mansion. When he came to Haiya City Lord's Mansion for the first time, even if he wanted to meet Han Fulai, a mortal clerk, he had to be careful, but this time he came to the City Lord's Mansion. Stepping into the gate, Jiang Hua'an had already arranged for Haiya faction disciples to greet him at the gate.

The Haiya disciple who was in charge of welcoming him obviously also knew the status of Consultant Yang in Haiya City, and his attitude was as respectful as if he was welcoming a teacher from his own sect.

Under the leadership of this person, Yang Lu gave the green light throughout the heavily guarded city lord's mansion, and went directly to the topmost city lord's office. In the city lord's office, Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe were already sitting at Jiang Hua'an's desk waiting for him.

Seeing Yang Lu walking into his office last like the chairman of the conference (actually because he has the slowest light escape speed and the most remote office location), Jiang Hua'an couldn't help but feel emotional.

Just over two years ago, Yang Lu had just completed the Immortal Ascension Assembly under his nose. Although this person had already made a lot of noise when he was still a mortal, Jiang Huaan at that time did not really care about this low-level spiritual root monk. Not particularly impressed.

But who would have thought that after just over two years, the other party would transform into a guest in his office, and even had to invite this person to attend the highest-level internal meeting of the Haiya Department.

For Jiang Hua'an, a golden core stage monk with a lifespan of hundreds of years, these two years are nothing more than a flick of a finger!

After everyone attended the ceremony and took their seats, Jiang Hua'an also put away some scattered thoughts, and said straight to the point: "You should have heard the important news that Consultant Yang brought us just now, what do you think?"

Su Yuanfeng, who was sitting directly opposite Jiang Hua'an, didn't answer this question, but asked familiarly: "What did fellow Daoist Ji from the Golden Knife Gate say?"

Jiang Hua'an obviously knew exactly what he wanted to ask Su Yuanfeng, and he answered concisely: "I have communicated with Fellow Daoist Ji just now, and everyone did not expect that Liu Hanxing secretly sent so many masters of array Taoism into Haiya City. Moreover, they also got some internal information from our archives, and they did the mental calculations without intention, Ji Daoyou said that with his ability alone, he is powerless now."

Su Yuanfeng immediately frowned and said, "Isn't Ji Zhanqun the second-ranked formation mage of the Golden Knife Sect, second only to Zeng Zhiquan, the head of the Golden Knife Sect? Why can't he even beat the formation mages of the Wuliang Sword Sect? You say... ...Is this guy afraid of offending the Wuliang Sword Sect, so he deliberately finds an excuse to shirk?"

Jiang Hua'an shook his head and said: "Don't forget, the Ji family in Qinglan City has signed a reciprocal agreement with us, if Ji Zhanqun dares to work and does not work hard, violating the principles of the agreement back then, his accumulation of merit in this life will be completely abolished. As the head of the Ji family with the best spiritual root qualifications for hundreds of years, this person has a good accumulation of merits, and he hasn't reached the point where he can lie down and die!"

Han Xinhe also nodded, and echoed: "I think what Ji Daoyou said is true. After all, the Wuliang Sword Sect suddenly activated the city closure order. It was obviously planned to catch us by surprise. In addition, Liu Hanxing has an entire formation The team provides technical support, and it is really difficult for him to do anything."

After Yang Lu and Han Xinhe formally formed an alliance, they had already heard about the existence of a reciprocal agreement.

From now on, it looks like Liu Hanxing invited Qiu Bufeng as his array advisor, Ji Zhanqun, the array master who was born in the Golden Knife Sect, should be the helper that the Haiya Department invited to help him through a reciprocal agreement.

It's just that the Wuliang Sword Sect's blockade came too suddenly, and the materials needed for the formation were all kinds of strange things. Even if Ji Zhanqun's level of formation was no less than that of Qiu Bufeng, it would be difficult to get all the materials needed for the formation. make a difference.

And Qiu Bufeng not only prepared the formation materials long ago, but also continuously obtained supplements through Liu Hanxing's channel. This was the effect of Liu Hanxing's sudden attack.

From this point, it can be seen that it is indeed a good move by the Wuliang Sword Sect to support Tianshu City to become the cultivation resource trade center in the southeastern part of Zhongzhou. This has led to a huge trade throughput in Haiya City, but most of the commodities are The accumulation of ores, mortal materials, and other cultivation resources covering a huge area is far less abundant than Tianshu City under the rule of the Mountain Eagle Faction.

No matter how high Ji Zhanqun's level of Taoism is, in the face of such a situation, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Hearing what Jiang Huaan said, Su Yuanfeng also rubbed his temples with a headache: "Now we have a lot of reciprocal agreements in our hands, but Liu Hanxing suddenly cut off the internal and external connections of Haiya City, which made our good cards unable to be played. , if he really found our archives in the past few days, things will be troublesome..."

Han Xinhe quickly asked: "Have our allies outside taken action now?"

Su Yuanfeng nodded and said: "I have already arranged this in advance. As long as there is any trouble in Haiya City, our allies will take action immediately. Now that Haiya City has been blocked, our allies have a reasonable excuse The strike has stopped, and now the commercial supply chain of the entire Zhongzhou should have been completely paralyzed by us!"

Han Xinhe immediately cheered up: "In this way, the blockade order issued by Lin Jianxing will definitely not last long."

However, Jiang Hua'an still shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that something will go wrong in these two days! This time Liu Hanxing is willing to pay such a huge political bargaining chip to deal with us, I'm afraid it's not a small chance!"

Hearing this, Su Yuanfeng slapped the table on the spot and said: "If you want me to say, we should have killed Ye Chen halfway at all costs, now it's all right, this son has entered Haiya City, what should we do now? Who Can you still go to Liu Hanxing's lair and kill him?"

Seeing Su Yuanfeng speak so unabashedly and fiercely, Yang Lu couldn't help rubbing his forehead too.

Your statement is too villainous!

Obviously everyone is fighting for interests, but Su Yuanfeng always utters such classic villain quotes, as if Ye Chen is the protagonist.

I think back in the Zhongzhou Discussion of Swords Conference, Su Yuanfeng kept inserting the flag of the villain big boss on himself, but Ye Chen overturned it, and now he uttered such cruel words. It's okay to lose!
After Jiang Hua'an heard Su Yuanfeng's remarks, he couldn't help but sneered: "Intercept Ye Chen halfway? Why do you intercept Ye Chen?"

Su Yuanfeng knocked heavily on the table and said: "Over the years, there are not many Xiuzhen families and local sects who have signed reciprocal agreements with our Haiya Chamber of Commerce. It is not difficult for us to find seven or eight Golden Core Stage monks? So many people flocked to him, he willow Can Han Xing stop it?"

In the end, the accusation in Su Yuanfeng's tone was very obvious, because it was Jiang Hua'an who proposed to put Ye Chen in Haiya City to close the gate to beat dogs, but it turned out that when Ye Chen entered Haiya City, Liu Hanxing promulgated the seal at all costs. city ​​order.

This also turned the closed-door beating dog led by the Haiya faction into a catch-in-the-urn led by Liu Hanxing in an instant.

At this time, Su Yuanfeng's aggressive tone seemed to be a matter of fact, but he was actually accusing Jiang Hua'an of misjudging the situation. Even Han Xinhe's expression changed slightly when he heard the words.

But Jiang Hua'an's expression didn't change at all, instead he asked casually: "Seven or eight Jindan late-stage monks, Liu Hanxing really can't stop it, but do you think Qiu Longbo can stop it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways.

Han Xinhe's expression changed for a while, and he said in shock: "According to the news from the Wuliang Sword Sect, hasn't Qiu Longbo already practiced in seclusion? You mean... Qiu Longbo's practice in seclusion is actually just a cover-up. When you came to Haiya City, you planned to use Ye Chen as a bait to catch all our helpers?"

Han Xinhe's exclamation can be regarded as expressing everyone's aspirations,
If this information is true, it means that behind Ye Chen's trip is the fishing law enforcement of the Law Enforcement Hall.

As Yang Lu has long seen, the behavior of Jiuzhou Tiandao is very similar to artificial intelligence. Even if it has not reached the level of the so-called "strong artificial intelligence" of earth civilization, it is still a very complex collection of rules.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that Kyushu Tiandao can make very complicated moral judgments.

For example, there are regulations in Kyushu Heavenly Law, as long as it is a malicious attack, the attacker's merit will be deducted. A monk with a high realm will deduct more merit when attacking a monk with a low realm, while a monk with a low realm will deduct more merit when attacking a monk with a high realm. There is a discount, so sending a master of the Jindan stage to kill Ye Chen will undoubtedly cause the high-level monks to lose a lot of merit, that is, the Sea Cliff Department has a large number of reciprocal agreements that cannot be copied, so they can be easily dealt with.

And if Kyushu Tiandao is a very rigid system of rules, Yuanying stage monk Qiu Longbo takes action against Jindan stage monks, in theory, a large amount of Heavenly Dao merit should be deducted.

But this is not the case.

Kyushu Tiandao also has a unique principle of "self-defense and counterattack".

According to this principle of "self-defense and counterattack", if one party is maliciously attacked by the other party first, the "attacking party" that launched the attack will temporarily lose the protection of Kyushu Heaven, and during the battle, if the attacking party suffers casualties, it will cause damage The "self-defense party" does not even need to bear any causal karma.

Kyushu Tiandao has a very strong subjective initiative in judging "self-defense" and "malicious attack", and strictly abides by the principle of substance over form.

This gives great room for phishing law enforcement to operate.

For example, if the Haiya faction sent Jindanqi masters to assassinate Ye Chen, not only those who directly attacked would be considered malicious attacks, but also those monks who assisted in guarding would also be considered malicious attacks, and anyone who protected Ye Chen would be considered a malicious attack. Regardless of the level of cultivation, they will be judged as self-defense!
