The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 547 The Sniper is in Place

Outside the banquet hall, Liu Hanxing and Fu Meng's spirits were already highly tense.

From the moment Song Feifan appeared, Fu Meng had secretly prepared countless countermeasures.

Seeing Jiang Hua'an's sudden activation of spiritual energy, Fu Meng thought that the other party wanted to throw a cup as an excuse, so at the moment Jiang Hua'an took out the token, Fu Meng clenched his fist fiercely, and directly activated the pre-set on Ye Chen's body in advance. With many protective spells, Ye Chen's body suddenly lit up with all kinds of gaudy protective spells, just like a human-shaped Christmas tree.

However, these protective spells whose strength reached the later stage of Jindan could not block the white aura at all. These white silk threads actually regarded these protective spells as nothing, and directly penetrated through them.

Seeing the light of the high-level protective spell that suddenly lit up on Ye Chen, Jiang Hua'an's pupils shrank slightly, and then he showed a dazed expression, sneered and said, "You don't need to waste your efforts, this token of the Patriarch of the Ye family in Zhongzhou is It was left by the ancestors of the Ye family in the middle ages before Bairi ascended. Although its only function is to identify the descendants of the Ye family in Zhongzhou, it is still a real fairy weapon, and ordinary protective spells are useless against it. As you can see In that way, the closer the bloodline is to the Ye family's main vein, the stronger the induction with the Patriarch's token will be."

Although Jiang Hua'an was speaking to Ye Chen, it was obvious that the words were not just for Ye Chen.

Fu Meng also knew that his eavesdropping spell might have been noticed by the other party, so he stopped his movements in embarrassment, and the gaudy aura on Ye Chen's body also dimmed.

What Jiang Huaan said just now is indeed the truth.

There are a total of seven spiritual roots with different attributes in the Kyushu cultivation world, and the seven spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder correspond to seven different aura colors, that is, gold and green. , blue, red, brown, cyan, purple.

Therefore, no matter how fancy the spells of ordinary cultivators are, they are all composed of these seven colors of aura, with only two special exceptions.

These two special cases are the black chaotic energy and the white fairy energy.

Demon energy can only be used by ancient demons and demon monks who practice demon skills. It can also be used by those demons who have gone crazy or are about to go crazy.

For a long time, cultivators have considered the spirit energy to be a special supernatural power that can only be possessed by ascending immortals. However, when the Manghuangyu was discovered by the practitioners, the practitioners discovered another kind of existence that could use the spirit energy. That is the indigenous spirit race in the wild wasteland.

However, the civilization level of the natives of the Spirit Race is very backward. According to the records of the Kyushu cultivators who have explored the wilderness, these Spirit Races "look like savages, have no knowledge of coins, are rude and illiterate", and do not understand the way of refining weapons at all. , so the white light emitted by Jiang Hua'an's token is undoubtedly the handwriting of Immortal Feisheng.

In front of the methods of the immortals, no matter how clever the mundane cultivation methods are, they are nothing but a big sword in front of Guan Gong's gate.

Jiang Hua'an didn't expose the fact that Fu Meng had eavesdropped on the conversation at the banquet, but just cast a few new soundproof spells casually, and then set his sights on Ye Chen again.

Seeing that Ye Chen was overwhelmed by the fairy relics in his hands, Jiang Hua'an pointed to the three white aura threads and explained respectively: "You are the current Patriarch of the Ye family in Zhongzhou, so you are most closely connected with the soul of the patriarch's token. Although Ling is not the head of the Ye family, but he is also the first heir of the head of the Ye family, and has a strong sense like the token. As for the blood sense in me, it is the four families of Haiya who frequently intermarried with the Ye family in Zhongzhou in the early years The result. In a sense, our four major families in Haiya City are actually distant relatives of your Zhongzhou Ye family!"

Although Ye Chen has little knowledge, he also knows what the power of a fairy is. If Jiang Hua'an presents other evidence to prove Yu Ling's identity, Ye Chen can find a way to refute it, but he didn't expect Jiang Hua'an to take out the legendary power directly. Fairy relic.

If Jiang Hua'an could fake this kind of fairy artifact, he would probably be the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Any doubts would be so pale and powerless in front of the real fairy artifact!

After seeing Jiang Hua'an's wonderful performance, Liu Hanxing's face was even uglier than Ye Chen's.

He dared to let Ye Chen go to the meeting alone, because he believed that Jiang Huaan was throwing a Hongmen banquet, and he would definitely find opportunities to be unfavorable to Ye Chen, so they were fully prepared to deal with it, but now it seems that Jiang Huaan might not really be throwing a Hongmen banquet. !
With Sister Ye Chen's heavy bargaining chip, Jiang Hua'an already has the possibility of surrendering without fighting.

Although he can no longer eavesdrop on the conversation in the banquet hall, he can see through the eagle eye technique that Ye Chen, who is standing in front of Jiang Huaan, has obvious wavering in his eyes. If his trump card is used by Jiang Huaan With Mouth Cannon incorporated, the Haiya City operation hosted by Liu Hanxing will become a complete joke!

Noticing the change in Ye Chen's attitude, Liu Hanxing looked at Yuling with murderous intent: "Fellow Daoist Fu, there doesn't seem to be any other protective spells set up in this banquet hall, look...can you find a chance to get rid of Yuling?" ?”

Fu Meng was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Liu Hanxing wanted to kill someone to silence him.

After all, Liu Hanxing was the commander-in-chief of the operation, and Fu Meng finally replied honestly: "I can try, but President Liu, if we kill Yu Ling, what will Ye Chen think of us? Don't we Has he also become his murderous enemy?"

Actually, Liu Hanxing didn't think much about the answer to this question.

Taking a deep look at the panic-stricken Yu Ling, Liu Hanxing said coldly: "I didn't tell you to do it now, let's play it by ear! After all, Ye Chen hated Jiang Hua'an for half his life, and even Jiang Hua'an is his obsession until today." , this person may not let go of his hatred so easily!"

"But Yu Ling is his own sister after all."

"For now, we can only take one step at a time!"

……

Fu Meng and Liu Hanxing were not the only bystanders at the banquet.

At the same time, in a higher attic on the edge of the headquarters of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, there are also two Jindan period monks who are silently observing every move in the banquet hall with eagle eye skills. One of them is Haiya Su Yuanfeng, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, and Gu Jianming, the great elder of the Hanguangjian sect and the ninth-level golden core monk, were the other.

Although the six extreme northern sects claim to be united in unity to the outside world, the internal struggle is also quite fierce.

For example, the Arctic Cold Palace and the Liuyun Sect have been competing for the position of the leader of the six extreme northern sects all year round. Yuejianshan and Aurora Pavilion are also constantly at odds due to different political inclinations, and the weakest Haiyuan Island and the Light Sword Sect are also because of The issue of maritime delimitation has often erupted into conflict.

The Lightsaber Sect is located at the southern foot of the Daxue Mountain in the southern part of the Arctic State. Although this area is sparsely populated, the territory ruled by the Lightsaber Sect is very vast. The area is almost equivalent to one-sixth of Zhongzhou. The output of cultivation resources is very The headquarters of Abyss Island is located in the archipelago in the southern waters of the Arctic State, across the sea from the Lightsaber Sect, and its population and resources are much inferior to that of the Lightsaber Sect.

But Sea Abyss Island also has its own advantages, that is, the faction has the largest ice-free port in the Arctic State.

In order to prevent the "six cases of the extreme north" from becoming the "five cases of the extreme north", Haiyuan Island formulated the idea of ​​establishing a faction based on trade thousands of years ago, focusing on the trade of the Arctic state, and constantly expanding its business in the four oceans territory, and by virtue of the huge wealth brought by trade, it has gained the strength to rival the Han lightsaber faction, its strong neighbor in the north.

However, Haiyuan Island's aggressive expansion of its trade territory has naturally aroused the vigilance of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, the traditional trade leader in the Eastern Ocean. There has always been more vigilance than support. Only when President Lu Yang was in power, the two sides had a short honeymoon period. However, with Lin Jianxing coming to power, the relationship between the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Haiya faction took a sharp turn for the worse again.

In order to compete with Haiyuan Island, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce will definitely not pin its hopes on the Wuliang Sword Sect, and must win over its own allies, and the Hanguangsaber Sect has become the natural ally candidate of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. From the perspective of Pai, I also hope that there is a commercial power like the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce, which can contain the trade power of Haiyuan Island.

It is precisely because of this historical connection that the Lightsaber Sect and the Haiya Chamber of Commerce have had a stable cooperative relationship for thousands of years. Whether it is the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference or the Yangjiang Port bidding operation, the Lightsaber Sect has firmly stood by the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Here, we can also see the unbreakable alliance between the two parties.

The Haiya Chamber of Commerce naturally understands the principle of reciprocating.

Since the trade in the Arctic State has been controlled by Haiyuan Island all year round, it is very difficult for the Han-Lightsaber faction to obtain external supplies. This is not to say that outside chambers of commerce cannot bypass Haiyuan Island to do business with the Han-Lightsaber faction, but the cost of doing so It is much higher than transiting through Haiyuan Island, which is not worthwhile on the economic level.

Even if some overseas chambers of commerce are willing to pay these additional trade costs in order to befriend the Lightsaber faction, they dare not bear the diplomatic consequences of offending Haiyuan Island.

Although Haiyuan Island is only the tail of the six sects in the extreme north, there are still thirteen early Golden Core, six middle Golden Core, and four late Golden Core monks in the sect.

In contrast, Yangmingzong, the largest vassal sect in Zhongzhou, only has three Jindan period monks. Among them, the head of Yangmingzong with the highest cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Jindan, which is not at the same level as Haiyuan Island.

Only the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, which has a deep foundation and stands on the opposite side of Haiyuan Island, is willing to take the risk of completely offending Haiyuan Island and send overseas supplies to Hanguang City, the lair of the Lightsaber Sect, at a loss price all the year round.

Of course, Haiyuan Island is not without means to counter the Haiya Group. In the Yangjiang Port equity bidding, representatives of the Haiyuan Chamber of Commerce maliciously raised the price with the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. With the Haiyuan Chamber of Commerce being forced out, there will inevitably be a lot of competition in the bidding for the Yangjiang Port equity project.

This time, after hearing that the Haiya faction was in trouble, the Lightsword Sect would naturally not sit idly by. Wu Yanjun, the leader of the Lightsword Sect, immediately dispatched the Grand Elder Gu Jianming to support them.

As the second-biggest master of the Hanguangjian sect after the master, Gu Jianming's strength is naturally beyond doubt.

While observing the situation in the banquet hall with the eagle eye technique, the natal flying sword in the sword box behind Gu Jianming trembled slightly, like a tiger eager to try, ready to launch a thunderous blow to the targets in the hall at any time, even standing still Su Yuanfeng beside him also felt like his hairs stood on end.

This is not Su Yuanfeng's illusion.

Because the kendo inheritance that Gu Jianming practiced is precisely the famous [Hidden Sword Art] of the Hanguangjian School.

Practitioners who cultivate this lineage are usually very taboo about using their own flying swords, but keep them in a special sword box to keep them warm all the time. Some monks who hide swords from the lightsaber sect have never even used them in their entire lives. Sword, but chose to hand over his flying sword to his apprentice after death to continue training.

Because the longer the warming time, the greater the power of the hidden sword cultivator when he draws his sword out of the sheath. This inheritance also has the reputation of "if you don't sheath it for ten years, you will see blood when you draw it out".

Although the hidden sword cultivator can cut a sword that is far superior to his original strength when he draws his sword out of its sheath, once the hidden sword is out of its sheath, it will take at least ten years of warming to restore it to its original state, but fortunately, hidden sword skills are unique in the cultivation world. Famous, in special scenes such as battlefields outside the territory, monks with hidden swords don't even need to draw their swords, just relying on the hidden front sword in the sword box can deter or even force opponents back.

Back then, Ling Yang, a contestant in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, was a practitioner of Tibetan swordsmanship.

It's a pity that Ling Yang has been in the fairy gate for less than 20 years, and the time of practicing Tibetan swordsmanship is far from home, so he was defeated by Ye Chen who practiced Gengjin Transformation Body Jue. The flying sword's time is many times longer than Ling Yang's!
In other words, Su Yuanfeng has advanced to the Jindan stage.

If it was a Qi-refining monk like Yang Lu, the body-protecting Qi might be cut by the sword intent leaked by Gu Jianming's natal flying sword.

Su Yuanfeng and Gu Jianming obviously noticed the change in the banquet hall.

Jiang Hua'an hadn't revealed his hole cards to Su Yuanfeng before, so Su Yuanfeng didn't know what happened in the banquet hall. In order to suppress the anxiety in his heart, he couldn't help asking softly: "Elder Gu, are you sure that Liu Hanxing and Did Fu Meng kill Ye Chen under his nose?"

Gu Jianming's gaze was fixed on the banquet hall, and he casually replied: "What? Could it be that President Su doesn't trust the old man's tricks?"

Su Yuanfeng waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to distrust the Great Elder. It's just that Liu Hanxing will definitely do his best to protect Ye Chen, and Fu Meng is also a famous difficult character in the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect!"

Gu Jianming replied: "Our Light Sword Sect's ultimate move, Yunwai Tianguang, is the strongest sniper method in the cultivation world of Kyushu. It is equipped with the technique of hiding the sword out of its sheath. Let alone killing a mere Qi refining stage monk, even Lian Liu It's no problem to kill Han Xing together!"

Seeing Gu Jianming's full confidence, Su Yuanfeng also nodded slightly. If the Haiya Chamber of Commerce hadn't sponsored Gu Jianming's practice back then, this great elder of the Light Sword Sect would never have wasted the precious opportunity to draw his sword for himself.

Turning his gaze back to the banquet hall, Su Yuanfeng couldn't help but be a little puzzled and said: "Ye Chen has been sitting down for a long time, but City Lord Jiang has not sent a signal for a long time, and even now the contracted female slaves are invited to add to the fun. Which one to play? Could it be that he really thinks that he can use his mouth to persuade Ye Chen to give up his revenge?"

"Huh? Is President Su planning to change his plan?"

Su Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hands fiercely: "The plan can't keep up with the changes, and I don't think we can wait for Jiang Hua'an's signal. As long as there is any change in the banquet hall, we will immediately take action and kill Ye Chen!"
