The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 678
Contrary to the description in Shuangwen's novels, fighting skills among cultivators is actually a very rare phenomenon in the realm of comprehension.

Because the first to attack others and be killed by the other party belongs to the legitimate defense category permitted by the law of heaven, and there is no need to deduct the merit of the counter-assassin. If a cultivator accidentally kicks the iron plate, the result will be a dead end. No one will joke about their own lives. Dao In most cases, cultivators are still used to negotiating to solve problems. Even if it is a fight, it is usually in the form of a ring to make three chapters and stop.

The most typical example is Yang Lu. He has been in the realm of comprehension for three full years, and he has experienced more storms and waves than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. Not even the second cultivator had personally beheaded.

As for the fighting skills of Nascent Soul stage monks, especially the death fight between Ming Zhu and Chu Zhe, most of the golden core stage monks may not have the opportunity to witness it even if they live their entire lives.

After witnessing the life-and-death confrontation of monk Nascent Soul, and feeling the unfathomable aura of Mingzhu Patriarch, the minds of the rest of the people went down for a while, and no one dared to initiate a conversation.

In the end, Yang Lu said with a relaxed expression: "Senior Mingzhu is in charge of the overall situation. I think Chuzhe can't make any fools. By the way, how is your merit? Have you completely reversed the process of becoming obsessed?"

Glancing at the headless body of Chu Zhe's incarnation, Mingzhu Patriarch looked down at his hands, and said with satisfaction: "Seizing a house is a felony that cannot be tolerated by heaven. The merit of beheading Chu Zhe's incarnation can even bestow There are nearly three golden wheels of merit for monks without merit accumulation, which is enough to make up for most of the merits deducted from violating the heavy oath. Although my merit is still in a state of extreme debt, there should be no life-threatening for the time being... Consultant Yang, we here It was a pleasure working together!"

Yang Lu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "You're welcome!"

Seeing that Yang Lu and Mingzhu Patriarch were talking and laughing like old acquaintances, Cheng Shida, who had just recovered from his senses, asked in a daze, "Consultant Yang, what's going on?"

Yang Lu didn't hide it either, but explained with a smile: "Just now, we have already lifted part of the restriction in the cell in order to communicate with Senior Mingzhu, and the damage to the main restriction of Qishan Prison has further destroyed the integrity of the restriction in the cell. As long as the monks in the Yuanying stage cooperate with some ingenious methods, they can bypass the prohibition and launch a fatal blow quietly. However, Senior Mingzhu only had one chance to make a surprise attack just now, so I dare not take the risk of communicating with you , please don’t be offended!”

With Mingzhu Patriarch supporting Yang Lu, even if he borrowed Cheng Shida's courage, he would not dare to take offense.

It's just that when did Mingzhu know the way of array?

Even if the restraint of his cell is incomplete, trying to decipher some of its functions quietly is not something that laymen can do, and everyone has never heard that Mingzhu still has this ability!
However, Mingzhu just said with an inscrutable expression: "Consultant Yang's words are wrong. Just now, I have already entered my body with demonic energy, and my strength may already be comparable to that of a great monk in the late Yuanying period. Even if I make a move with dignity, Chu Zhe may not be able to Catch my sword!"

Yang Lu didn't believe Ming Zhu's bragging.

If Chu Zhe really couldn't catch his sword head-on, how could Mingzhu have to wait until the opponent's most serious intentions before striking?

He should have been reckless a long time ago!

However, Yang Lu still has to rely on Mingzhuhu to pretend to be a tiger, so naturally he won't pierce the opponent's bragging.

Although Ming Zhu and Yang Lu gave explanations, they still did not answer the key question that Chu Zhe asked just before his death:

Why did Mingzhu help Yang Lu?

You must know that Ming Zhu did not hesitate to go crazy before, and he also wanted to tell the truth. He maliciously arranged three ascending immortals because he had only ten years left in his lifespan, and he had no intention of living for a long time. However, Mingzhu suddenly changed his mind again, and the desire to survive broke out again?

On the surface, it seems that Yang Lu's persuasion played a role.

However, everyone had Chu Zhe's Nascent Soul incarnation staring from the side just now, and it was impossible for Yang Lu to blend in with Mingzhu Patriarch under this person's nose. It's not something that Yang Lu's mere Qi-refining period cultivators can fool, not to mention that even Fu Zhibin who was standing beside him didn't notice the clue...

After brushing his thoughts for a while, Cheng Shida asked again: "Consultant Yang, what agreement did you reach with Patriarch Mingzhu?"

Yang Lu smiled mysteriously and said, "The heavenly secret must not be revealed!"

And Mingzhu Patriarch who was standing behind Yang Lu also put his hands on his chest, pretending to be disdainful.

If Yang Lu dared to play tricks with him at this critical moment, Cheng Shida would have changed his face a long time ago. With a magnanimous look, he said: "Since that's the case, I won't inquire about Brother Yang's secrets!"

However, what Cheng Shida didn't realize was that Mingzhu's finger had a strangely shaped ring at some point!
It turned out that when he visited Mingzhu, Yang Lu discovered that the door of the ancestor Mingzhu's cell was not real, but an invisible transparent barrier. Under normal circumstances, this transparent barrier is stronger than the wall. It is impossible to penetrate, and even the spiritual consciousness of monks will be blocked.

However, when everyone in the prison passed their identity verification, the protective function of this transparent barrier was weakened by more than half. Offensive mundane objects can also be sent back and forth across barriers.

Previously, in Qishan Prison, there were Jindan stage felons who sent letters to their relatives and friends through the barrier. Cheng Shida also mentioned complacently that helping wealthy Jindan stage felons deliver letters was also the main source of extra money for their prison guards. At that time, the recipient designated by the prisoner was dead, and the letter could not be delivered at all. These prison guards even pretended to be the recipient, pretending to write a reply letter to the prisoner, in order to let the prisoner obediently hand over his property.

And this kind of fabricated reply is rarely even seen through by prison inmates who are extremely lacking in the spiritual world. According to Cheng Shida, the prisoners have received spiritual comfort, and the prison guards have obtained Lingshi coins. This is clearly a win-win situation!

However, since this transparent magic barrier can deliver ordinary letters, it should also be used to deliver other objects without mana fluctuations. After Yang Lu personally verified this feature through the small stones in the dungeon, he pretended to inadvertently put his spare The comprehension switch was thrown into Patriarch Mingzhu's cell.

Since the comprehension switch itself is a translator similar to a code book, the god does not have any supernatural powers, nor any mana fluctuations, but can automatically switch between natural language and array language, so it can be easily thrown away like pebbles and letters. Arrived at Mingzhu's feet.

And Yang Lu didn't throw this thing in to plot against Chu Zhe in the first place.

After all, Chu Zhe hadn't shown up at that time!

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to flirt with Ming Zhu in private behind Fu Zhibin and Cheng Shida's backs. Although the two seemed friendly with Wang Ziwei, Yang Lu was still not at ease with them, and he was able to grab some of his own cards always good.

It's just that following Mingzhu's suicidal revelation, Yang Lu gave up this meaningless attempt. After all, the other party is already a futures dead person whose life is counting down. Surplus value that can be extracted.

But with Chu Zhe's appearance, the situation is very different.

Yang Lu quickly realized that in Qishan Prison, only Mingzhu could fight against this person.

Of course, Yang Lu does not necessarily have to blend with Ming Zhu, he actually has two diametrically opposite options at hand:

The first option is to rescue Ming Zhu and kill Chu Zhe;

The second option is to directly threaten Chu Zhe to let him go.

The success rate of these two methods is not small.

Just like Mingzhu can plot against Chu Zhe only with Yang Lu's assistance, Chu Zhe also has a secret that must not be revealed, that is, he once took away his direct disciple.

But Chu Zhe didn't realize that this secret had been sent by Yang Lu to Tian Beixi and Lin Musen outside through the cultivation exchange, so as long as Yang Lu used this deadly secret to blackmail the other party, the other party might not choose to compromise.

So should I choose Mingzhu or Chu Zhe?
After careful consideration, Yang Lu still chose Mingzhu.

This is mainly because Chu Zhe not only has a deep mind, but also has a ruthless style of acting. Not only can he pretend to be crazy and fool the whole Guiyi sect, he even once murdered his direct disciples.

Not only that, the accomplices in the escape operation at the upper level of Qishan Prison actually didn't know the secret of Chu Zhe Yuanying's incarnation.However, Chu Zhe killed them all in order to avoid nights and dreams.

Cooperating with such a ruthless person will inevitably worry about being bitten back.

In contrast, Mingzhu is obviously a straight person.

Not only did this guy say whatever he thought of, with all his emotions and sorrows on his face, he even said that he was insane in order to express himself happily.In addition, when this person was young, he was used by various forces more than once. First, he was used by the Unworldly faction to assassinate the Immortal Feisheng, and then he was used by the Immortal Feisheng to entrap the Unworldly faction.

What's more, betraying one's own sect and assassinating the Immortal Feisheng with the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment stage, if one doesn't have the spirit of a fool, normal people really can't do it.

This kind of person is obviously much more trustworthy than Chu Zhe!

Tian Beixi also supported Yang Lu's decision.

In order to help Yang Lu, she also pretended to casually chat with Tian Daxiao about Wang Sandao and Mingzhu during this period of time. Tian Daxiao didn't know that her direct disciple was setting her own words, and told her a lot about these two people gossip.

Among them, Tian Daxiao's evaluation of Mingzhu is: Although this person is narrow-minded, selfish, and mercenary, he is really not a big villain, because he doesn't have that kind of heart and pattern...

This also strengthened Yang Lu's confidence in cooperating with Mingzhu.

At first, Mingzhu didn't realize what the strange stone that Yang Lu threw in was, but after Chu Zhe took the initiative to show up, Yang Lu quietly stepped back and pointed the same ring in his hand to Mingzhu. The ancestor shook, and then pointed to the "strange object" that fell on the ground, and Mingzhu picked it up knowingly.

And when he received the message from Yang Lu from the Boundless Void Sea through the switchboard (if he didn't have the Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he might not have noticed it), he instantly understood the usage of this thing.

It was also through the exchange of comprehension that Yang Lu reminded Ming Zhu that as long as he could kill Chu Zhe's Nascent Soul incarnation, he would be able to gain immeasurable merits and virtues, thereby reversing the process of his infatuation, and if he was willing to cooperate with Wang Sandao He can also take this opportunity to escape, without wasting the rest of his life in Qishan Prison.

Although Mingzhu has only ten years of life left due to the damaged foundation of his practice, it is a world of difference whether he spent these ten years in Qishan Prison or in a free body.

Originally, he chose to suicidally break the news to Yang Lu and others, mainly because he didn't know the real purpose of everyone's trip at the time, otherwise he would definitely use all kinds of threats and lures to coerce everyone to release him. After the real purpose, he himself has fallen into an irreversible process of madness. Now that Yang Lu gave him a chance to choose again, Mingzhu was moved in an instant.

And Yang Lu didn't keep Ming Zhu entangled for long, he quickly made up another heavy chip.

He told Ming Zhu about the three tests of Immortal Feisheng, and the secret that he can obtain the true inheritance of Immortal Feisheng by passing the three tests, and said that he is willing to swear to the way of heaven, if there is anything in the inheritance of Immortal Feisheng that can help him recover. Shouyuan's means, or the secrets behind the Kyushu cultivation world, he is willing to tell Mingzhu for free.

Although Mingzhu is the dignified ancestor of Yuanying, Yang Lu offered two conditions, which happened to be temptations he could not refuse!

So the next negotiation between the two sides hit it off, and soon they made a very strict oath of heaven to each other, and then Yang Lu let Lin Musen also connect to the call, and lighted a candle with his hand to quietly break some of the restrictions in his cell.

This process actually took a lot of time, but because Chu Zhe insisted on eradicating the grass and roots, he first killed the accomplices of Cheng Shida and Fu Zhibin, and then came to deal with a few people. This also gave Yang Lu and Mingzhu ample preparation time.

Then Mingzhu took advantage of Chu Zhe's urge to launch his ultimate move and when his mental defenses were the most relaxed, he suddenly launched his strongest ultimate move across the boundless void——

The future will be cut forever!
Under normal circumstances, Mingzhu's sneak attack would not be so smooth. However, Chu Zhe's Nascent Soul Incarnation has a cultivation level of Nascent Soul, but his spiritual consciousness is still at the third level of Jindan of Chu Zhe's body, so he He didn't notice Mingzhu's Yuanying's third-level consciousness lock at all, which made Mingzhu's ancestor subdue him with only one move.

If the old ancestor of Mingzhu hadn't seriously injured the opponent and made the opponent take precautions, he might not have the chance to use the second move, but fortunately, the final result was good, which also gave the whole escape operation the dominant power. , completely transferred to Yang Lu's hands!
