The Fourth Financial Crisis

Under Yang Lu's careful layout, this inconspicuous valley has become a black hole-like existence.

Any monk passing by this area, even if he just ran over to check the situation, could not escape the murderous hands of the Yang Lu criminal group. Although most of the monks were "accidentally" killed by the gang members, because the gang members almost never appeared Casualties, after just four days, the total number of Yang Lu's team reached twenty.

Of course, the total number of unlucky people who died at the hands of this large criminal gang had already exceeded thirty.

After Rong Sheng, the number one member of Yang Lu's team, cultivated the Golden Wheel of Merit, the third member Wu Neng and the fourth member Yang Chenglong also cultivated the Golden Wheel of Merit respectively.

Yang Lu himself also killed two people again, and his merit points successfully exceeded 25,000 points, which was not far from the 40,000 points required to build the second golden wheel of merit.

The main reason for achieving such brilliant results is that the scale of Yang Lu's criminal gang has far exceeded the imagination limits of normal extraterritorial battlefield testers.

Under Yang Lu's arrangement, more than 20 gang members surrounded the valley three levels inside and three levels outside. Even if the direct disciples of the seven major sects accidentally fell into it, they might not be able to escape.

This cannot be blamed on the extraterritorial battlefield testers for being too careless and easily falling into the trap set by Yang Lu's gang.

In the first few days of the extraterrestrial battlefield, most of the trialists were trying their best to find various treasures and would not attack others at will. After all, the extraterrestrial battlefield is not a game of chicken on earth. If you die, you will really die.

Therefore, the early battles in the extraterritorial battlefield were not intense.

According to the thinking of ordinary trialists, although the early stages of the foreign battlefield are full of dangers, as long as they do not get involved in the battle easily and just look at the situation, there should be no problems. If you don't look for treasures everywhere, you can't waste time waiting to shrink the poisonous circle!

However, what they didn't know was that Yang Lu's team brought together all kinds of talents.

Wu Neng's Pleiades Risinan can anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and Xi Ziang's illusions can deceive others. After that, there were even formation masters from Luoxia Sect and poison masters from Huaishan Sect in Nanman Prefecture who were coerced into "joining". Yang Lu’s team.

No matter how cautious the cultivator who comes to check the situation is, there is always a side trick that can catch him off guard. In the end, he will either become a new member of Yang Lu's gang, or he will be killed on the spot and reduced to merit and trophies.

What is more interesting is that the Tulinggen monk who Yang Lu met before and was attacked by the Wanhua Valley monks also fell into his hands on the third day of the battlefield outside the territory. This person's position was not far from Yang Lu. After spending a day recovering from his injuries, he was just about to start again when he fell into the ambush of Yang Lu's team.

Although this guy was able to escape from the direct monks of Wanhua Valley, he still had some skills, but that was just because the monks of Wanhua Valley were too lazy to chase him, and Yang Lu's team asked him to personally experience what "two fists are difficult to defeat ten" means. Six hands".

After interrogation, Yang Lu learned that this person's name was Zhang Zhicheng, and he was an outer disciple of the Qianji Sect, the second sect in Beimo Prefecture.

The Qianji Sect is also quite interesting. Its status in the North Mo State is quite similar to the status of the Golden Knife Sect in the Zhongzhou. It recruits many people who are talented in weapon refining, but their spiritual qualifications are not as good as the overlords of the North Mo State. Zijin Pavilion recruits standard weapon refiners, so the sect's weapon refinement level is ranked second in the Kyushu cultivation world, even slightly higher than the weapon refinement level of Wuliang Sword Sect.

Although the disciples of Qianji Sect do not have good spiritual qualifications, their powerful weapon refining abilities have also accumulated strong capital for Qianji Sect. This sect has spent money to create more than 20 golden elixir stage weapon refiners. The hard power is enough to compete with the Golden Blade Sect and the Six Sects of the Far North.

Although the overall strength of Qianji Sect is good, it is limited to the inner disciples and direct disciples of Qianji Sect. In fact, the outer disciples of Qianji Sect are not much stronger than the outer disciples of ordinary sects. Disciple Chen Ping probably knows who the outer disciples of Qianji Sect are.

Because of this, after seeing Zhang Zhicheng being able to control hundreds of magic weapons at the same time just like Doraemon, even the well-informed Yang Lu hunting team was shocked by him and even thought this man was Qian Ji. Yang Lu, a direct descendant of the master, specifically requested that this person be captured alive and that he must not be hurt.

However, after capturing him alive, Zhang Zhicheng finally revealed his secret. It turned out that this person was not a direct disciple of Qianji Sect at all, but the magic weapon recycler of Qianji Sect responsible for recovering magic weapons. If it were replaced by the earth, he was actually A rag picker.

A job like picking up rags is not a good job, because this kind of job cannot train real weapon refining skills. Zhang Zhicheng was appointed as a garbage collector by the sect, which in itself means being assigned. According to his own statement, he did offend a big shot in the sect and fell to this stage.

But when Yang Lu asked him how he offended the important people of Qianji Sect, he refused to tell him even if he beat him to death. Even when Ye Chen tortured him with Gengjin Body Transformation Technique, this person refused to let go.

This kind of perseverance made Ye Chen, who also suffered from great hatred, repeatedly exclaimed in disbelief.

However, in order to survive, Zhang Zhicheng knew everything about other issues. For example, the strange magic weapons he used were actually the tatters he picked up and repaired from the pile of discarded magic weapons in Qianjimen.

It's just that most of the magic weapons that can be thrown away as junk have been completely scrapped. Even if Zhang Zhicheng has specially selected the scrapped magic weapons that are in relatively good condition and devoted all his efforts to repair them, he can only restore them to a small degree of functionality.

Considering that these scrapped magic weapons were inherently worthless, Zhang Zhicheng had an idea and decided to use them as disposable consumables.

For example, some magic weapons barely have some protective properties. Zhang Zhicheng organized these magic weapons into a group. When encountering a strong enemy like the monks from Wanhua Valley, he would throw them out as human shields; another example is that some magic weapons Only the detection function can still be used. He is like the "eye plug" in the MOBA game. He throws these magic weapons wherever he passes and uses them as one-time detection spells.

Relying on the massive amount of scrapped magic weapons he had on hand, this tactic worked wonders on the battlefield outside the territory. The Wanhua Valley monk was forcibly persuaded to retreat by the seven or eight scrapped shields he threw casually, and when Yang Lu's team caught him , Zhang Zhicheng was still desperately "inserting eyes" near the valley where Yang Lu was ambushing!

It has to be said that Zhang Zhicheng's strategy for operating in extraterritorial battlefields cannot be copied by others.

Because looking at the entire Jiuzhou cultivation world, only the magic weapon garbage dumps of the Seven Great Sects and Qianjimen can provide him with a sufficient number of scrapped magic weapons for him to pick and choose. In addition, Zhang Zhicheng was placed in the place because he offended someone. After working at the Qianjimen Magic Weapon Recycling Station for twenty years, I was able to accumulate a massive amount of disposable magic weapons.

It is precisely because he worked in the magic weapon garbage dump for too long that Zhang Zhicheng became the most special weapon refiner in the Kyushu cultivation world——

A weapon refiner who doesn't know how to refine weapons at all.

Because he only knows how to cultivate magic weapons!

Considering that repairing a scrapped magic weapon to a barely usable level is more difficult than repairing a damaged magic weapon, but the benefits are almost negligible, there should be no other weapon refiner in the Kyushu cultivation world who can develop similar skills. .

The arrival of Zhang Zhicheng also solved a big problem that had been bothering Yang Lu for a long time.

When a normal cultivator fights, the natal magic weapon must be used as a weapon. This is not only because the natal magic weapon is connected to the owner's mind and will backfire on the owner after being damaged, but also because the power of the natal magic weapon itself is stronger than ordinary magic weapons, so it must be guaranteed. He is in perfect condition so that he can deliver a thunderous blow at the critical moment.

Therefore, cultivators are very cautious when using their natal magic weapon, and try not to cause any harm to the natal magic weapon.

However, the biggest problem with Yang Lu's team is that not only do they fight much more frequently than ordinary extraterrestrial battlefield testers, but they also hold other people's magic weapons.

Of course everyone should fight with caution when holding their own natal magic weapon, but who would be polite to others when holding someone else's natal magic weapon? Of course, use it as fiercely as you want!

Yang Lu even saw a male compatriot using the folding fan-shaped magic weapon of his female teammate as a dagger, aiming it at the enemy's crotch and stabbing it hard...

This resulted in the natal magic weapons of Yang Lu's team members being damaged in different ways after continuous battles.

However, Yang Lu's team has neither a refiner nor any other spare magic weapons for his subordinates to use. This has led to the deterioration of the status of these magic weapons. There has even been excessive damage accumulated during the battle, resulting in The backlash against the owner of the magic weapon seriously affected the team's combat effectiveness.

And this Qianji Sect disciple Zhang Zhicheng, who only knows how to cultivate magic weapons, will undoubtedly make up for this most critical shortcoming!

Therefore, Zhang Zhicheng became the third non-combatant in the team besides Ye Chen and Yang Lu who did not need to participate in the battle.

Of course, Zhang Zhicheng is not the only new force who joins Yang Lu’s team. The further back the new members join the team, the more bizarre their special skills are. Otherwise, they will not be qualified to get Yang Lu’s ticket. Therefore, today’s Yang Lu team, It can simply be described as a plethora of talents.

Seeing the increasing number of cultivators around Yang Lu, Ye Chen was even more worried than Yang Lu.

With his strength as a direct descendant of the seven major sects, he could barely cope with six or seven late-stage Qi-refining cultivators who had nothing but their own magic weapons at the same time. However, Yang Lu was now surrounded by more than twenty late-stage Qi-refining cultivators. .

If these people suddenly rise up and attack, no one in the entire foreign battlefield may be able to stop them.

However, he soon discovered to his surprise that the total number of Yang Lu's men clearly exceeded the limit that he could handle, but everyone still maintained a very strange game balance, and no one took the lead in causing trouble.

Needless to say, the old members who joined the team early on have already chosen to lie down.

Since they joined Yang Lu's team, the originally thrilling battlefield of killing people and grabbing treasures has become extremely boring. Rather than fighting on the battlefield outside the territory, it is more like shooting in the sect's martial arts field.

Everyone only needs to draw out the magic weapons that do not belong to them in their hands. They do not need to use all their strength. The enemy will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming influx of magic weapons. The next thing is to choose to surrender the prisoners or kill people to seize the treasures and divide the spoils. At the conference, it was like treating the extraterrestrial battlefield as a dungeon.

If this team breaks up, these guys who have tasted the benefits of MLM will not know where to find such a comfortable place!

Without Yang Lu even saying a word, these old team members began to take the initiative to look at the new guys with vigilant eyes, guarding against any irrational actions by these new members that would undermine unity.

The newcomers' magic weapons are all firmly in the hands of the old man. Even if they want to resist Yang Lu's tyranny, they must first have a fight with the old members of the team. As the team grows larger, Yang Lu even There is no need to personally pay attention to the mental state of these new members. Team members will first start fighting among themselves.

This is the supreme wisdom of "mobilizing the masses to fight against the masses".

However, not all team members have such a strong sense of obedience and self-management.

In addition to Xi Ziang, there was also a new cultivator who later tried to plot a rebellion.

However, there is a time window for rebellion. No one reported Xi Ziang when he conspired to rebel, because everyone had just been captured by Yang Lu at that time, and they still had a sense of resistance in their hearts. However, those who later followed suit and rebelled were not so lucky.

This unlucky guy's rebellion was still in the mixing stage, but he was reported back by the old members who wanted to continue to eat and die. Of course, Yang Lu couldn't chill the heart of his own bastard, and "fired" the person who tried to rebel on the spot. He joined the team and distributed all his merits and property to the brave whistleblower.

After seeing Yang Lu's act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, Rong Sheng and others subconsciously turned their attention to Xi Ziang: There seems to be someone in this team who wants to plot a rebellion that has slipped through the net!

Noticing the malicious looks from around him, Xi Ziang almost peed his pants in fear.

After realizing that he would be reported sooner or later, he simply ran to Yang Lu and took the initiative to confess, saying that he had done stupid things and did not know the good of Yang Lu's team, so he dared to conspire to cause trouble. Now he has repented and is willing to Remain absolutely loyal to Advisor Yang.

In fact, Yang Lu had known for a long time that this kid was full of bad intentions, but as the saying goes, seeing through but not telling off, sometimes being confused is also a good management art, so he pretended to be angry and rebuked the other person on the spot, most likely to kill him directly. The meaning of sacrificial flag.

Yang Lu originally just wanted to win people's hearts through a combination of kindness and power, but he didn't expect it. In order to survive, Xi Ziang actually revealed a shocking news:

That is the mystery of his life experience!

It turns out that Xi Ziang is not an ordinary disciple of the Haiya Sect. He is not even a resident of the Haiya Plain, but a collateral member of the Xi family in Yunlai City.

The Xi family is one of the famous cultivation families in Yunlai City. The family moved to Yunlai City from Haiya City five hundred years ago. Xi Jinhu, chief editor of the Zhongzhou Editorial Department of "Cultivation Financial Daily", is the contemporary head of the Xi family.

However, there was no local sect in Yunlai City, and Xi Ziang's low-grade spiritual root qualifications did not qualify him to join the Wuliang Sword Sect, so Xi Jinhu found his ally Han Xinhe and stuffed all his incompetent disciples into the Haiya Sect.

It is precisely because Xi Ziang has a background in a cultivating family that he has the opportunity to come into contact with the secret technique of illusion. It is also precisely because he is a relative of Xi Jinhu. When he heard that Yang Chenglong was pretending to be Xi Jinhu's illegitimate son to defraud Rong Sheng, he revealed That weird look.

After listening to Xi Ziang's narration, even Yang Lu didn't expect that the henchman he accepted had such a background. Strictly speaking, both of them are the most important allies of the Han family in Haiya City, and they are completely their own people!

Considering that it is very difficult to train senior members of the team, Yang Lu actually had no intention of taking his life. Since Xi Ziang chose to surrender himself and was still a hidden second-generation down-and-out immortal, Yang Lu followed suit and showed his ability. Magnanimity means that as long as you, Xi Ziang, sincerely repent, I, Yang Lu, will forget about it.

This small rebellion was easily quelled.
