The Fourth Financial Crisis

The Xia family's tragic experience doesn't end there.

With the great success of Lu Yang's currency reform, three ascended immortals came to the Immortal Realm one after another. Lu Yang's enemies were in panic all day long, especially the sect of the Chushu Sect and the overlord of Nanman State, Wanhua Valley, who was originally anti-Lu Yang. After being forced to show their goodwill to Lu Yang and the Wuliang Sword Sect, the anti-Lu Yang forces in Nanman State were even more frightened.

Although he was an ascended immortal, he would not settle accounts for these trivial matters. However, in order to prevent speculators from deliberately currying favor with Lu Yang and the Wuliang Sword Sect and choosing to use his family as a sign of flattery, the head of the Xia family at the time still made a difficult decision. The decision was made to move the whole family to Huoyun State, which was famous for its "anti-Infinite Sword Sect".

However, all cultivating families have spheres of influence. A cultivating family that has lost its home base is like a rootless duckweed. Even though the Xia family was once a famous family in Nanman State, after experiencing the destruction of the family savings, the unfortunate death of the genius heir, and the entire family moving abroad After the successive blows from the foreign land, they inevitably suffered a heavy blow and were directly reduced to a third-rate family in Huoyun Continent.

By Xia Wu's generation, the cultivators of the Xia family are no different from ordinary grassroots cultivators. If the Xia family hadn't happened to have Xia Wu, a top spiritual disciple, the once prosperous Xia family in Nanman Prefecture would have been destroyed within a hundred years. To completely obliterate everyone.

It is precisely because of the mentality of "my ancestors were once rich" that Xia Wu believed that he failed to become the direct descendant of Elder Lu Youde because his family did not have a strong enough relationship within the Shenhuo Sect, and the culprit for his family's decline was undoubtedly Damn Lu Yang and his lackeys.

Therefore, Xia Wu came to hunt Li Qingning on the battlefield outside the territory not only to complete the task assigned by the sect's senior leadership, but also to avenge his family. The motive for killing was extremely strong.

The first time he entered the foreign battlefield, he was not like Liu Xiahui who killed two unlucky guys along the way. Instead, he headed straight for Li Qingning, but his luck was obviously not good. The random teleportation distance was too far away, so it took him four days to barely reach where Li Qingning was.

Taking out the Musk Fairy Rat in his arms again, Xia Wu found that Li Qingning was less than a hundred miles away from him. Now he felt a little more relaxed. He was indeed worried that Li Qingning would be killed early, causing him to miss the opportunity. An opportunity to turn around.

But at this moment, Xia Wu seemed to notice something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Who is spying on me!"

After a roar, Xia Wu immediately turned his head and stared at an unremarkable giant rock behind him.

Relying on the top-level mental skills he had cultivated, he was keenly aware through his spiritual consciousness that there were abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations behind the rock. After a stalemate for about a few seconds, he saw a submissive figure walking out with his hands raised.

"Senior Brother Xia, don't do anything, it's me!"

Seeing the appearance of the visitor, Xia Wu was surprised and said: "Guan Sanqi, why is it your kid?"

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Guan Sanji, an inner disciple of the Shenhuo Sect, quickly smiled and said, "Yes, it's me!"

Xia Wu frowned and said, "How did you get here?"

Guan Sanqi was obviously surprised and said: "Senior Brother Xia, have you forgotten? I am also a member sent by Elder Lu to surround and kill Li Qingning!"

After saying that, he also took out a muskrat from his arms.

After sensing the existence of his own kind, the musk fairy rat in Xia Wu's hand instantly became excited.

Seeing Guan Sanke and the Musk Fairy Rat in his hand, Xia Wu finally remembered that this guy seemed to be an inner disciple of Lu Youde's lineage, but his strength was a bit poor. However, in order to gather enough manpower to hunt down Li Qingning, Lu Youde could say that It was all out, even this kind of bastard was chosen to be the killer.

In Xia Wu's impression, Guan Sanke always looked submissive to everyone he met, and his attitude towards him was as respectful as other disciples' attitude towards Ai Wen. As for the rest, there was no special impression. Unless the other party brought it up on his own initiative, Xia Wu even forgot that this person was also his accomplice.

Seeing that Guan Sanqi was still the same as before, Xia Wu said disdainfully: "Why do you still want to assassinate Li Qingning? It's good if you can save your own life! For the sake of being in the same sect, I won't pursue it. It’s my fault that you were watching me, hand over your storage bag honestly, and then get out of here!”

The smile on Guan Sanke's face froze instantly: "Senior brother, what do you mean?"

"I asked you to hand over the storage bag, don't you understand?"

Seeing that the other party wanted to rob him blatantly, Guan Sanki stammered: "But...but Senior Brother Xia, we are not only brothers in the same sect, but also allies in the fight against Li Qingning!"

Xia Wu stabbed the flying sword in his hand into the ground and said impatiently: "If it weren't for this relationship, I would have killed you a long time ago. Do you still have to talk nonsense? I'll count to three. If you still If you don't hand over the storage bag honestly and let me see if there is anything in it that you shouldn't take, then don't blame me, my senior brother, for being rude!"

Guan Sanqi showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "Senior Brother Xia, you are a bit bullying!"

"three--!"

"Brother, can I leave now?"

"two--!"

Seeing that Xia Wu was just counting down by himself and had no intention of discussing it with him, Guan Sanji's lips trembled twice, but in the end he did not dare to resist Xia Wu's unreasonable request.

He tremblingly took off the storage bag from his waist, and then threw it to the other party with a look of despair on his face.

"Isn't it right to be so obedient and obedient? Let me see, Senior Brother, if you have found anything good in the past two days!"

Xia Wu smiled with satisfaction and was about to reach out to pick it up——

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-!"

Countless dense silver threads suddenly shot out of Guan Sanqi's ordinary storage bag, trapping Xia Wu's outstretched arms before he could react.

Xia Wu subconsciously wanted to break free, but these slender silver wires were as tough as steel bars, making his struggle useless. Not only that, these silver threads continued to spread along the surface of his protective aura, and soon wrapped around his neck, giving him a terrifying feeling of hair standing on end.

Xia Wu couldn't help but said in shock and anger: "Guan Sanji! What on earth do you want to do!"

However, Guan Sanji did not answer him.

I saw him making a fist with his right hand, and the silver thread wrapped around Xia Wu tightened violently again.

Xia Wu had a strong premonition that if he was pierced by these body-protecting auras, his head would be cut off directly!

"you dare!"

Faced with this dangerous situation, Xia Wu immediately roared.

Then he saw that the protective aura on his body turned out to be like a saint in a medieval mural, lighting up layers of spiritual light. The silver thread was pushed back by the spiritual light, and for a moment it was unable to continue to tighten.

As soon as the situation was stabilized, Xia Wu gritted his teeth and said: "You are definitely not in charge of Sanji, who are you!"

"Guan Sanji" didn't make Xia Wu wait any longer. He saw his body shattered like a phantom, and then gradually transformed into a sweet palace-dressed girl wearing Huoyunzhou costumes.

Seeing this scene, Xia Wu said in disbelief: "Tian Beixi... you actually used the illusion of the Arctic Han Palace to deceive me!"

Tian Beixi, who revealed his true face, asked like he was offering a treasure: "Brother Xia, does the Guan Sanke I play look like? Have you brought out his timid temperament? In order to play the role of Guan Sanke well, I have been secretly observing him for a long time!"

To be fair, Tian Beixi's acting skills as a witch are indeed very good. But just now Xia Wu was easily deceived by Tian Beixi, but it was not at all because of Tian Beixi's superb acting skills.

He stared hard at the Musk Fairy Rat in Tian Beixi's arms, gritted his teeth and said, "How come you have the Musk Fairy Rat to care about for three seconds?"

No matter how brilliant the Arctic Cold Palace's illusions and Tian Beixi's acting skills are, they can't trick the Musk Fairy Rat into sensing the same kind of innate magical power. This special innate magical ability can not only ignore any spell restrictions, but can even ignore the red mist on the battlefield outside the territory.

In other words, the musk fairy rat in Tian Beixi's arms is actually a genuine product produced by Wanhua Valley!

In addition, Tian Beixi not only owns a genuine musk fairy rat, but is also familiar with its living habits. Otherwise, she would not be able to run around with this monster beast with conspicuous aura fluctuations like she did.

As we all know, the existence of the Musk Fairy Rat is a secret that is not told in Wanhua Valley. Even if Tian Beixi finds the cultivator who possesses the Musk Fairy Rat on the battlefield outside the territory and kills him, she will never learn the secret of the Musk Fairy Rat.

It's no wonder Xia Wu was unprepared for her!

Tian Beixi first calmed down the restless Musk Fairy Rat in his arms, and then replied calmly: "Why can't I have a Musk Fairy Rat? This was specially given to me by Junior Brother Guan in order to please me. Isn’t it possible?”

Seeing Tian Beixi talking nonsense here in a serious manner, Xia Wu was also furious: "You lied! Unless Guan Sanqi was desperate, how could he leak the secrets of Elder Lu and Elder Song to outsiders!"

Tian Beixi suddenly realized: "It turns out that Elder Lu's accomplice is Elder Song Qingshan from Wanhua Valley!"

Hearing this, Xia Wu was slightly startled: "Were you trying to trick me just now?"

Tian Beixi couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckled: "Are you realizing it now? I'm not familiar with you, and the battlefield outside the territory is so dangerous. If I don't have other agendas, why would I talk nonsense to you here?"

Xia Wu suddenly said angrily: "Tian Beixi, do you really think you have convinced me?"

Before Tian Beixi could answer, Xia Wu suddenly felt a flash of light all over his body, and instantly formed a layer upon layer of cyan light curtain. Not only were these three layers of light curtain thick and solid, they also had countless golden inscriptions densely spread throughout them, making it appear mysterious. Incomparably, as the cyan light curtain grew in momentum, the silver net seemed to be slowly opening.

It turns out that Xia Wu's natal magic weapon is very special. It turns out to be the invisible and qualityless Yimu spiritual light. Although this non-mainstream natal magic weapon is not very powerful, it is similar to Tian Beixi's Cold Sky Crystal and can flexibly handle various situations.

In the case where the enemy is ambushed first, this Yimu spiritual light is obviously more useful than ordinary magic weapons.

Seeing Xia Wu's desperate struggle, Tian Beixi's smile instantly turned cold: "Now that I know the cause and effect of the matter, it's time for me to show my true strength and invite Senior Brother Xia on the road!"

As soon as Tian Beixi's cold voice fell, the silver net she used to use the Cold Sky Crystal was suddenly wrapped in two rounds of golden light. Then the golden light was dazzling, and it suppressed Xia Wu's natal aura again.

Yimu's aura is mysterious and unusual, and is designed to defeat enemy-trapping spells such as the Cold Sky Crystal. Logically speaking, it would not be easily disadvantaged. However, after Tian Beixi activated two golden wheels of merit, the power of the Cold Sky Crystal was doubled on the spot. Much, this kind of ultra-high instantaneous output power directly caused Xiawu's resistance to collapse.

Soon, under the two loud sounds of "Boom" and "Boom", the cyan light curtain shook violently. Two places were deeply dented, and the light flashed wildly, making a tearing sound and shattering inch by inch. .

Xia Wu was startled and wanted to use other methods.

But his hands were tightly controlled and he couldn't take out any magic weapon from the storage bag.

However, Xia Wu was also a ruthless person. He actually bit the tip of his tongue on the spot, then summoned all the magic power in his body, and used his own blood and essence as a medium to spit out a lightning-fast blood arrow at Tian Beixi.

Tian Beixi was also shocked when he saw the sudden blood arrow.

She didn't expect that Xia Wu could use such a whimsical counterattack after his whole body was trapped.

However, Tian Beixi is now focusing all his energy on controlling the Cold Sky Crystal. If he is distracted from defense, his attack will undoubtedly fall short. Considering that Xia Wu's cultivation level is much higher than his own, if he cannot use the Golden Wheel of Merit to kill instantly If you kill the other person and wait for the Golden Wheel of Merit to enter the cool-down period, you may not be able to outsmart this person.

Thinking of this, Tian Beixi's eyes flashed sharply:

Fight!

She waved her hand fiercely, and the giant silver net did not hesitate at all, and continued to tighten violently with the help of the power of the Golden Wheel of Merit. However, she tried her best to dodge sideways, barely avoiding the heart point targeted by the blood arrow.

"Pfft"!

After a fierce confrontation between green light and silver light, Xia Wu's Yimu spiritual light was finally unable to withstand Tian Beixi's Han Tian Crystal, and his head was cut off directly.

Tian Beixi's body trembled, and she tightly covered her shoulders. It turned out that her body-protecting energy could not stop Xia Wu's desperate counterattack, and a ferocious bloody hole was opened from the shoulder blade by the opponent.

Despite this, Tian Beixi showed a slightly cruel smile. She was also a direct descendant of the Shenhuo Sect, and she achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining at the eighth level, but she won in the end!

Looking at Xia Wu's headless body, Tian Beixi took a deep breath and murmured to himself: "This is the third master I killed. I didn't expect this guy to be so much stronger than the first two. If we fight again If the fight continues like this, I don’t know if Li Qingning can withstand it. I’m almost unable to withstand it, so I can only wish her good luck first!”

After saying that, Tian Beixi moved and found a secluded place to meditate to recuperate.
