The Fourth Financial Crisis

The Wuliang Mountains are the core hinterland of Zhongzhou's cultivation world. Usually, the number of cultivators in the surrounding areas is quite dense. The series of battles just now also attracted the attention of many passers-by.

But Cheng Shuying was personally stationed here. After feeling the aura of the Nascent Soul Stage monks, all the melon-eating people were scared to death. No one dared to check the situation. The effect was better than any spell ban with a dispelling effect. .

Under Cheng Shuying's invisible pressure, the area with a radius of dozens of miles soon became deserted. Cheng Shuying himself restrained Ye Chen, who was at a loss, and found a place with a wide view on the highest peak nearby to stand with his hands behind his hands. Silently waiting for something.

Ye Chen really wanted to ask Cheng Shuying what he wanted to do to him.

However, the spiritual energy fluctuations of the monks in the Nascent Soul stage are so vast. Every time he wants to speak, he will feel a huge pressure coming from Cheng Shuying's body, which makes him unable to say a word.

Obviously, Cheng Shuying didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all!

The scene where big guys from all walks of life took turns to stand up for him made Ye Chen think that he was the male protagonist of Shuangwen. However, when the matter fell into place, Ye Chen slowly realized that the big guys in the world of cultivation were fighting for him. In fact, they are using him as a tool, regardless of the role of a tool man. The ancestor of Yuanying is not even willing to say a word to him. Even Fei Fan would not be able to directly tie him out of the Wuliang Sword Sect if it were not inconvenient. I wouldn't waste so much saliva with him.

Now it seems that it is his master, Chen Ming, who is somewhat sincere towards him.

It's a pity that Ye Chen woke up too late. Now that the Yuanying Stage monks have come forward in person, his personal will is not even considered as dust in front of the Yuanying Stage monks.

In desperation, Ye Chen had no choice but to close his eyes and adjust his breathing.

He had just suffered serious internal injuries. Even if he practiced the Gengjin Body Transformation Technique, it would still take time to recover.

However, the two of them did not wait here for too long. Less than half an hour later, an escaping light carrying a terrifying aura quickly approached Cheng Shuying's location. In the blink of an eye, he rushed from a hundred miles away. near.

If Cheng Shuying's aura was like a small sun, constantly releasing terrifying pressure for dozens of miles around, then the incoming light was like a sharp fairy sword, directly exuding Cheng Shuying's strong and vigorous pressure. The breath is cut open in the front.

According to the mainstream understanding in the world of cultivation, spiritual energy is the original power born from the boundless sea of ​​void.

The Kyushu world where humans live is just a projection of the Infinite Sea of ​​Void. Therefore, humans in Kyushu are like the people in the painting, with no ability to affect the operation of the world outside the painting (the Infinite Sea of ​​Void).

Divine consciousness is like a bridge connecting the real world and the boundless sea of ​​void. Cultivators can feel and influence the movement of spiritual energy in the boundless void sea through spiritual consciousness, and have an impact on the real world by projecting spiritual energy into the real world. This is called magic.

As the cultivator's realm improves, the cultivator's ability to use divine consciousness to control spiritual energy becomes stronger. Nascent Soul stage monks can already use divine consciousness and spells to temporarily break through the barriers of the boundless sea of ​​void and the real world, while the legendary immortals, It can even allow the physical body to shuttle across the boundless sea of ​​void to achieve the effect of space teleportation.

Although the cultivator must guide the spiritual energy into the body and fully refine it before it can be transformed into various spells and killing moves, the unrefined spiritual energy can also be mobilized by the cultivator's spiritual consciousness. This is the so-called aura released by the cultivator.

Although this operation method of using spiritual consciousness to mobilize spiritual energy is very inefficient, the ultra-high output power of the Yuanying stage monks is there, which means that even if the Yuanying stage monks only use external breath, they can shock the cultivators to death. A monk who is not in the Qi refining stage.

The attacker used his own aura to forcefully break through Cheng Shuying's aura. He was clearly provoking through his spiritual consciousness!

Seeing that the aura environment created by his own breath was broken by the incoming attacker, Cheng Shuying sighed slightly, and his aura increased again. The aura environment with a radius of dozens of miles seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, moving like a whirlpool. It seems that he wants to stabilize the surrounding aura environment again.

However, the incoming Dunguang was not to be outdone, and erupted with a sword roar like a dragon's roar. The sharp sword intent contained in it completely shattered the aura environment that Cheng Shuying had re-condensed!

As the surrounding aura environment became chaotic, Cheng Shuying's expression also changed. Although he and the others used their spiritual consciousness to compete in the infinite sea of ​​void, the power mobilized by the Nascent Soul Stage monks using only their spiritual consciousness was no less powerful. The ultimate move of a monk in the Golden Core Stage.

Now that the aura environment constructed by his own consciousness has been destroyed, if he allows the other party to continue to act, he will be fine, but Ye Chen may be shocked to death on the spot.

So Cheng Shuying had no choice but to raise his hand again.

This time, a huge halo of light appeared directly around the two of them, blocking out all the violent aura.

However, Cheng Shuying did not show any joy on his face, because everyone was originally fighting at the level of spiritual consciousness. If he took the lead in using magic, it meant that he had lost.

When the attacker saw Cheng Shuying admitting defeat, he did not use other spells. The escape light suddenly fell in front of the two of them like a sharp sword inserted upside down. After the magnificent escape light dissipated, Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, The figure is revealed.

Seeing Lin Jianxing, who was carrying the Bailou Sword, taking the initiative to show up, Cheng Shuying's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, but he still took the initiative to speak: "Headmaster Lin, you just want to talk to me, why do you need to give me such power?" Woolen cloth?"

Lin Jianxing said expressionlessly: "Long time no see, I just wanted to take the opportunity to compare my skills with you."

Cheng Shuying shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can I be your opponent? If you want to compare skills, it would be more appropriate for you to go to Senior Brother Mo."

But this time Lin Jianxing snorted coldly: "Elder Cheng, do you really not know why I am here?"

Cheng Shuying knew that he couldn't avoid this question, so he had to bite the bullet and answer: "I didn't expect that the head senior brother would personally ask about the little things that matter to the disciples in the Qi refining period."

"I heard that my eldest disciple Liu Hanxing had some unnecessary misunderstandings with Elder Cheng. In order to clear the air for both of you, of course I have to break out and talk to you personally!" Although Lin Jianxing did not say it explicitly, he But he emphasized that he broke through the barrier and came out to see Cheng Shuying, and it was obvious that he was raising an army to investigate the crime.

However, Cheng Shuying still pretended not to understand and said: "For ordinary disciples in the Qi refining stage, why do you need to intervene personally?"

"Ye Chen is not an ordinary disciple in the Qi refining period. The Zhongzhou Ye family is a branch of the Xijizhou Ye family, the largest family in the world of cultivation. After the Zhongzhou Ye family massacre occurred, even the then head of the Shenxiao Sect Senior Ye Lun even came to Zhongzhou Wuliang Sword Sect in person to ask for his crimes!" As if knowing that no one dared to pry into the conversations of the Nascent Soul monks, Lin Jianxing didn't care when he spoke, and directly revealed Ye Chen's details. fell out.

Cheng Shuying frowned when he heard this and said: "The Ye family's secret is the undisclosed secret of the Mountain Eagle Sect in Tianshu City. Isn't it a bit over the line for Head Lin to send someone to secretly spy on the privacy of the Mountain Eagle Sect?"

"The privacy of the Mountain Eagle Sect?" Lin Jianxing seemed to have heard some joke, and showed a mocking expression on the spot, "Now that Ye Chen's life experience is known to the world, I'm afraid Elder Cheng doesn't know it yet!"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Jianxing did not explain, but casually cast a communication spell at Cheng Shuying.

After Cheng Shuying received the communication spell, he quickly read the contents, and a trace of shock appeared on his face: "Someone actually revealed the secret of Ye Chen's life experience to "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly"? I remember "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly" Xi Jinhu, chief editor of Zhongzhou Editorial Department, seems to be from Haiya City, doesn’t this mean..."

"Yes, if nothing else happens, the guys in Haiya City already know about Ye Chen's existence!" Lin Jianxing directly filled in the remaining half of Cheng Shuying's unfinished sentence.

Cheng Shuying was stunned for a long time, then glared at Lin Jianxing and said, "Did you do this?"

However, Lin Jianxing's expression did not change at all: "Why would I do such a thing? Don't forget, I am also the enemy of Haiya City!"

Cheng Shuying took a deep look at Lin Jianxing, obviously still not believing what he said.

Before Lin Jianxing arrived, Cheng Shuying had already prepared for a confrontation with the opponent. Although his cultivation and combat power were not as good as Lin Jianxing's, this was not the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect after all. Without using the Great Forest Luo Wanxiang Sword Formation, Lin Jianxing could Even if he could defeat himself, he would never be able to kill himself.

Cheng Shuying believed that Lin Jianxing would never dare to attack him!

Of course, his judgment was not without basis. Based on his understanding of Lin Jianxing, this person seemed to be very courageous in his actions, but when faced with major decisions related to life and death, he always looked forward and backward and found it difficult to make up his mind.

Since the other party doesn't even have the courage to destroy the Haiya Clan by force, how can they dare to attack themselves and provoke a civil war in Zhongzhou?

But Cheng Shuying didn't expect that Lin Jianxing would bring such news to him.

Ye Chen's card is powerful, mainly because the Haiya faction does not know his existence. Chen Ming and Cheng Shuying use this card to launch an attack, and they have every chance to catch the Haiya faction off guard.

But when Ye Chen changed from a trump card to a bright one, making the Haiya series defensive, his value dropped significantly.

Not to mention that there will definitely be an endless stream of killers from Tingheyuge who come to assassinate Ye Chen. The Haiya Department will never let this guy enter Haiya City casually. If Cheng Shuying wants to use Ye Chen to cause trouble, he must talk to Haiya It's a face-to-face showdown.

But even Lin Jianxing is not willing to go head-to-head with the Haiya faction, let alone the Merit Hall led by Cheng Shuying?

But for Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, even if Ye Chen's deterrence is significantly reduced after becoming a famous star, he can still rely on the righteousness of the Wuliang Sword Sect and use Ye Chen to break the deadlock in the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system.

This means that when the Haiya Department learned of Ye Chen's existence, the Ye Chen in Cheng Shuying's hands had become a waste card. However, this waste card was handed over to Lin Jianxing, but it could still be recycled and reused.

On the surface, Lin Jianxing's actions seemed to harm others and not benefit himself, but it made Cheng Shuying's persistence completely meaningless. Even if he forcibly kept Ye Chen's useless card, he would not get any benefits.

This is the wisdom of political games!

Facing Cheng Shuying's questioning gaze, Lin Jianxing's expression did not change at all, as if he didn't bother to explain at all.

Although he failed to get a direct answer from Lin Jianxing, no matter who took the initiative to reveal Ye Chen's secret, Cheng Shuying was now in a situation where he had to give in.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Shuying still compromised and said: "What Master Lin said is that we don't need to hurt our harmony because of a mere monk in the Qi Refining Stage. Ye Chen can leave it to you to punish him, but after all, he is the direct disciple trained by Chen Ming. If I can’t give him a satisfactory explanation, I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince the public!”

"A direct disciple? Is there any master who poisoned his direct disciples?" Lin Jianxing glanced at Cheng Shuying coldly, as if he could tell that the other party was just looking for an excuse to negotiate terms with him.

Cheng Shuying's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Even if Chen Ming has no credit, he still has to work hard. I can't owe him anything!"

Of course, Lin Jianxing didn't want to compensate Chen Ming, so he asked instead: "I plan to let Ye Chen go to the Law Enforcement Hall for a higher position. This is considered to be a support for the younger generation, right? Why does Elder Cheng feel that I owe him?"

This inconsiderable statement was obviously an attempt to confuse the matter.

However, Cheng Shuying did not back down this time.

The failure to control the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system and the animal disaster in Tianshu City have already made him, the boss of the Merit Hall, lose his face. If he gives in to Lin Jianxing again, he will not be able to lead this team.

So he said with a serious expression: "Master Lin, you don't have to play riddles with me, you should know my bottom line very well! Senior Brother Mo cherishes feathers, so naturally he won't do anything extreme within the sect, but my basic base is If the people in Gongdetang cannot stabilize the basic market, then I have nothing to fear!"

Having said that, Cheng Shuying had openly threatened the leader. Although Lin Jianxing had never studied game theory, he knew with common sense that the other party's threat was not meaningless cheap talk.

As a worldly monk who also practices merit, Cheng Shuying is already far behind the worldly monks such as Qiu Longbo and Ren Tianyuan in terms of training time. However, in return, Cheng Shuying, who has just turned a thousand years old, has already acquired three merits and golden wheels. Body, even if you can cultivate the fourth golden wheel of merit, it will be just around the corner.

Because of this, the people in the Merit Hall are extremely important to him. If Cheng Shuying loses his basic base for obtaining merit, then he may really overturn the table.

On the contrary, it is Mo Yunlan, because his life span is more than five hundred years longer than Lin Jianxing's. Even if he loses power temporarily, when Lin Jianxing's life span is exhausted, he will become the well-deserved 26th generation leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect. This is Why did Lin Jianxing dare to arrest Mo Yunlan's subordinate Lu Anping, but did not dare to touch Cheng Shuying's subordinate Fang Jiancai.

After all, Mo Yunlan is a person who wears shoes. The more promising a person is, the less courage he has to lift the table.

Mo Yunlan was wearing shoes, and Lin Jianxing was also the same. Everyone was actually afraid of Cheng Shuying who was barefoot.

After a moment of uncertainty on his face, Lin Jianxing finally relented and said, "I can promise not to touch the people in your Merit Hall, but your people shouldn't continue to stumbling upon me!"

Using threats to force Lin Jianxing to make concessions also put a lot of pressure on Cheng Shuying.

Now that he finally got Lin Jianxing's concession, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said: "Of course, if Master Lin doesn't embarrass my people, we naturally have no motive to take the initiative. If Master Lin is willing to swear an oath to me on the spot, then The unpleasantness that happened today will be revealed to us in person!"
