The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 638
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Facing the gaze of Yin Huaiyuan, the most powerful man in the Arctic State, Elder Zhai subconsciously pulled up the tiger skin as a banner and said, "It's ridiculous! The Arctic Cold Palace is the Arctic Cold Palace for all the Arctic Cold Palace monks, not you, Yin Huaiyuan alone. The Arctic Cold Palace!"

Seeing Elder Zhai's awe-inspiring hypocrisy, Yin Huaiyuan immediately sneered, and then turned his head again to look at the two Golden Core stage monks behind him.

However, Elder Zeng and Elder Chu seemed to have suddenly developed a strong interest in the pattern of the thousand-year-old black ice floor in the Arctic Cold Palace. They just stared straight at their feet, as if they hadn't heard the conversation between the two just now.

Yin Huaiyuan has been the boss of the Arctic Cold Palace for more than 500 years, how can he not know the thoughts of these Jindan elders.

These refined egoists want to enjoy the benefits of deceiving themselves, but they don't want to take the risk of completely offending themselves. If it weren't for the "vicious incident" of the new art refiner, I am afraid that even Elder Zhai Kun would not be able to do it. Jumping out openly to make trouble for himself, at most it is making some troubles secretly.

It’s just that the new art refiner has already stepped on the face, and Elder Zhai can’t do it if he wants to jump out, but Elder Zeng and Elder Chu are not the leaders of the refining hall after all, so they still want to use Elder Zhai as a meat shield in front of them to shoot for themselves. Get yourself in trouble.

However, what Elder Zhai said may not be what they had in mind.

Although Yin Huaiyuan saw clearly in his heart, he did not force these two bastards to express their opinions on the spot. There is no shortage of fools in this world. As long as they see which side has the upper hand, they don't have to speak up, they will take the initiative to lean over , Forcible pressure will be self-defeating.

So he just shook his head with a smile, and then couldn't help coughing a few times: "Ahem, over the years, you have never dared to confront me directly, only dared to play these sneaky things behind my back, no Come to think of it, the first person who really jumped out and publicly contradicted me was actually you Elder Zhai, ahem!"

In fact, the relationship between the monks of the Arctic Cold Palace Jindanqi and Yin Huaiyuan is a bit non-violent and non-cooperative. Both parties want the other to transfer more power, but they both ask for each other.

It's just that in this non-violent non-cooperative competition, Yin Huaiyuan clearly holds the upper hand.

This is not only reflected before today, no one dared to openly contradict Yin Huaiyuan like Elder Zhai (in fact, Elder Zhai did not openly contradict, he had already planned to kill Lin Musen and Zhang Zhicheng, two outsiders, but happened to be Yin Huaiyuan was caught straight), and it is even more reflected in the supreme power of the Arctic Cold Palace, which is still firmly in the hands of Yin Huaiyuan himself.

Even for such a small matter as Wang Ziwei wanting to visit Qishan Prison, without Yin Huaiyuan's personal authorization, the elder Jin Danqi below could not make decisions for him.

After coughing violently for a long while, Yin Huaiyuan said again: "Elder Zhai, let me ask you one last question. Is it true that you, the so-called Fa-rectification masters, are powerless for my injury from the divine weapon forging body?"

Elder Zhai hesitated for a moment, then replied: "This is the case at present, but it doesn't mean—"

However, before he finished speaking, Yin Huaiyuan shouted violently: "Enough! You only need to answer yes or no!"

"This question can't be said--"

"Yes or no!"

Facing Yin Huaiyuan's aggressive question, Elder Zhai could only reluctantly answer: "Yes! We really can't do anything for the time being!"

Yin Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, don't stop me from trying the so-called heresy!"

However, Elder Zhai still wanted to struggle to his death: "No! As the head of the Artifact Refining Hall, I must not allow such a dangerous evil Artifact Refiner to act recklessly! You also know that the seven major sects are determined to kill me, and they are jealous of our overlord of the Arctic State! I have been in the position for a long time, what if this guy of unknown origin is an undercover agent sent by the Seven Great Factions, and came here to harm our Arctic Cold Palace Master, what should we do?"

"So, Elder Zhai has evidence?"

"I don't have any evidence, but this person was recommended by Shenhuozong and Qianjimen after all. Our Arctic Cold Palace has never heard of such a person before. Who knows what his intentions are?"

This time, Elder Zhai did find a good entry point.

Because in the conflict just now, Lin Musen accidentally slipped his mouth, saying that he was fully capable of healing Yin Huaiyuan's injury, but at that time, Elder Zhai hadn't taken the initiative to reveal this secret!
This detail is very inconspicuous, and the situation was very chaotic at the time, not to mention Elder Zhai, Tian Beixi, and Wenboshan didn't notice it, even Lin Musen himself didn't notice it, but Yin Huaiyuan, who was a bystander, noticed it keenly. this problem.

Yin Huaiyuan's injury is the biggest secret of the Arctic Cold Palace.

A Qi refiner who came out of nowhere actually knew this secret, even if Yin Huaiyuan thought with his toes, he knew that there must be black hands behind this person!
So Yin Huaiyuan also turned his head to look at Lin Musen and said, "Then you can answer Elder Zhai's question. Who ordered you to come here? And who revealed my situation to you!"

Hearing this question, Lin Musen's heart sank.

He originally wanted to make up an excuse to fool the past, but the terrifying consciousness of the Nascent Soul stage monks oppressed him, and he couldn't even utter a lie.

What's more, Lin Musen's identity is extremely sensitive. He even has the identity of the most wanted criminal in Borneo. The more he talks, the more mistakes he makes. I don't know what to do.

Seeing Lin Musen's tongue-tied expression, Elder Zhai couldn't help but sneered on the spot.

Just when Yin Huaiyuan was about to say something again, Tian Beixi suddenly stood up and said, "I told him about Palace Master Yin's situation privately!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

Noticing everyone's gaze, even though Tian Beixi has always been bold, he couldn't help swallowing nervously.

She has even made up her mind that if Yin Huaiyuan breaks the casserole and asks the end, she simply admits that she wants to grab a man from Li Qingning, so why not help her man cure Yin Huaiyuan?
Strictly speaking, this is not a lie, even the lie detector method of monk Yuan Ying can't detect it!

However, just when Tian Beixi felt that he was about to die publicly, Yin Huaiyuan laughed: "I knew that Mr. Mu must be sent by the head of Tian!"

Hearing this, Tian Beixi was stunned.

She didn't expect Yin Huaiyuan to think that Lin Musen was arranged by Tian Daxiao.

Although this kind of misunderstanding will make it difficult for her to explain to her head master in the future, it also avoids the trouble of dying on the spot. Even Tian Beixi herself doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But since Yin Huaiyuan is willing to believe this explanation, she can't refute anything.

And Elder Zhai immediately jumped out and questioned: "Master Yin, the Shenhuo Sect has always coveted our dominance of the Arctic State. As the saying goes, it is necessary to guard against others. Now that the trade agreement between the two parties has been signed, how can you do it?" You know, this person is not the dead man Tian Daxiao sent to get rid of you?"

"Could it be that if Tian Daxiao wants to murder me, he still needs to send mere monks in the early stage of foundation establishment?"

"Who knows what evil means the evil art refiner has?"

"Do you have proof?"

"Although I don't have any proof, who among decent people will learn evil art refining? Palace Master Yin, people who believe in evil art refining have never had a good end. This person surnamed Mu didn't even dare to swear to the sky. Take care to cure you. If you kill yourself, it is a trivial matter, and the century-old foundation of the Arctic Cold Palace may also be destroyed!"

Lin Musen immediately choked back: "How can anyone make such an oath? Even if it is the traditional refining method, no one dares to guarantee that it will be [-]% successful. If you are [-]% to [-]% sure, it is worth a try!"

Elder Zhai stared at Yin Huaiyuan and said, "Palace Master Yin, you'd better think clearly, if something goes wrong with this person's evil methods, you will be trading your life with this foundation-building monk!"

Hearing Elder Zhai's threat, Yin Huaiyuan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: "Although I am not very proficient in refining weapons, and I don't know which school of refining weapons is better, but I know you Jindan elders very well. Little abacus, if other craftsmen say these words, I might seriously weigh the pros and cons, but today you, Elder Zhai, say these words, I have to give it a try instead!"

Yin Huaiyuan is obviously more willing to believe in Tian Daxiao than the Jindan elders of his own sect who have ulterior motives.

Although Tian Daxiao did have the possibility of killing the donkey, the so-called "Northeast Ocean Free Trade Agreement" was definitely not completed once it was signed, and there were still great opposition forces within the various sects in the Arctic State.

Only by being the master of the Arctic Cold Palace can these opponents be suppressed, and if Elder Zhai and other Jindanqi elders are allowed to take power, it is hard to say whether this agreement will become a dead letter.

Therefore, Tian Daxiao getting rid of himself at this juncture will definitely not do him any good!

What's more, Tian Daxiao was originally the kind of person who was good at using conspiracy. He had never sent assassins to assassinate political opponents, nor had he smashed the signboard of his Ascension Immortal Disciple.

Therefore, seeing that Elder Zhai was determined to splash dirty water, Yin Huaiyuan turned to the other two Golden Core stage monks: "Do you all agree with Elder Zhai's point of view?"

Elder Chu and Elder Zeng were obviously not as active as Elder Zhai, especially Elder Zeng Xian, whose face was full of "Haren" expressions, his legs began to tremble visibly.

In the end, Elder Chu reluctantly replied: "We...we resolutely obey the sect's final decision!"

This kind of ambiguous nonsense basically means abstention.

"How can you be so useless!"

Elder Zhai saw that his colleagues were starting to retreat, and couldn't help being furious, but Elder Zeng and Elder Chu just turned their heads aside, pretending that Elder Zhai was not talking about themselves.

Yin Huaiyuan chuckled and said, "Elder Zhai, so you are the only opponent now?"

Elder Zhai swallowed his saliva and said, "You didn't convene the Supreme Elders Meeting of the Arctic Cold Palace. How did you know that I was the only one who opposed you? I demand that the Supreme Elders Meeting be held immediately according to the tradition of the Arctic Cold Palace!"

The Supreme Council of Elders of the Arctic Cold Palace is a deliberative body composed of eleven elders of the late Jindan period in the Arctic Cold Palace.

According to the tradition of the Arctic Cold Palace, when the lord of the Arctic Cold Palace has an accident, the Supreme Council of Elders can act as the lord of the palace. At present, the only people in the entire Arctic Cold Palace who know about Yin Huaiyuan's injury are the eleven late Jindan The elders, Elder Chu and Elder Zeng from the Artifact Refining Hall, and the three direct disciples of Yin Huaiyuan.

However, Yin Huaiyuan sneered and said, "According to the tradition of the Arctic Cold Palace, if the owner of the Arctic Cold Palace does not agree to convene the Supreme Elders Meeting of the Arctic Cold Palace, then the Supreme Elders Meeting of the Arctic Cold Palace will not be held."

Seeing the two sides arguing so skillfully, it should not be the first time that a similar dispute has appeared.

Obviously, the closure of the Arctic Cold Palace for so many years was because Yin Huaiyuan held on to his power and refused to let the elders.And his physical condition did not allow him to come forward to deal with things, which made it impossible for him to do anything.

Seeing that Elder Zhai did not answer for a while, Yin Huaiyuan continued: "Elder Zhai, you should be very clear that although I am seriously injured now, even if I don't have the karmic fire devouring spirit pill, it is easy for me to kill you. But it will only make my injury more serious. But I have been lying on the bed for so many years, and now I can barely walk two steps, and I am imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the Arctic Cold Palace, even if I lie back, it is no big deal. "

When Elder Zhai heard this, his face became cloudy and uncertain.

But he firmly denied it in the end: "Impossible! No one knows your physical condition better than me. Unless you die now, you don't have the strength to kill Jindan in the later stage!"

Yin Huaiyuan said coldly: "Then you can try it!"

Hearing these words, everyone turned their attention to Elder Zhai.

No one expected that this originally calm test would develop into a fight between the master of the Arctic Cold Palace and the head of the Artifact Refining Hall.

And Elder Zhai didn't speak again, but lowered his head deeply, as if he was thinking about the solution, but after a while, his figure suddenly flashed, and he pounced on the standing beside him like a ghost. Tian Beixi!
Everyone was slightly taken aback, but quickly reacted:
He wants to snatch the karmic fire devouring elixir!

Elder Zhai obviously still doesn't believe that Yin Huaiyuan now has the ability to manipulate the strength of Jindan period monks at will, and if Yin Huaiyuan wants to restore the strength of the heyday, he can only rely on the karmic fire devouring spirit pill brought by Tian Beixi.

As long as you control the karmic fire devouring elixir, it is equivalent to holding Yin Huaiyuan's life gate.

Tian Beixi was also aware of Elder Zhai's plan, but she didn't expect that Elder Zhai would do it as soon as he said it, and dared to directly attack her, the head of the Shenhuo Sect. By the time she wanted to react, it was too late up.

The powerful spiritual pressure of the Jindan late-stage monk directly suppressed her, a Qi-refining Dzogchen monk, unable to move.

Not only Tian Beixi, but even Lin Musen and Wenbo Mountain, who are close at hand, are unlikely to help. After all, the strength gap between Jindan late stage monks and Foundation Establishment stage monks is too great!
Elder Zeng and Elder Chu behind Elder Zhai have the strength to intervene, but these two people are not the kind of people who can resist things at all. His knees softened, and he sat down on the ground without any image.

Elder Zhai noticed everyone's expressions, and a stern smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Now that we have a showdown with Yin Huaiyuan today, it would be better to just take away Yin Huaiyuan's last life-saving straw, the Ye Huo Devouring Pill. Taking the emperor to command the princes, Zhai Kun will have the final say on all matters in the Arctic Cold Palace from now on?
