The Fourth Financial Crisis

Suddenly hearing about Chen Ming's strange behavior from the Guyun Sect monks, Su Yuanfeng couldn't help but become suspicious.

Su Yuanfeng transferred Ren Yi in order to ensure that Su Cheng would be promoted to the top eight, but now Chen Ming actually wants to transfer Ren Yi too. This matter is very intriguing!

Su Yuanfeng turned to look at Su Cheng, who was sitting in the main position, and asked in a cold voice: "Su Cheng, has the Mountain Eagle Sect accepted any new disciples with extraordinary talents in recent years? Especially Chen Ming himself, has he accepted any new disciples?" A new direct disciple?"

Su Cheng replied without hesitation: "As of now, our intelligence network has not received any news."

Su Yuanfeng continued to ask: "This is strange! Who does the Mountain Eagle Faction plan to send to compete this time?"

Su Cheng's answer was still very straightforward: "The current statement given by the Mountain Eagle Sect to the Wuliang Sword Sect is that they are planning to send a disciple at the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining to compete, but the specific person is always kept secret by the Mountain Eagle Sect."

Just like Han Xinhe entrusted his nephew Han Fulai to help with daily affairs, Su Yuanfeng apparently also entrusted many management tasks of the chamber of commerce to his junior Su Cheng.

Therefore, Su Cheng's situation should be similar to that of Miss Qingning. I am afraid that he has advanced to the Great Perfection state of Qi Refining long ago, otherwise he would not have so much free time to participate in the management of the Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that because Miss Qingning's cultivation talent is too high, she successfully advanced to the Great Perfection state of Qi refining after four years of casual training at home, but she just couldn't catch up with the extraterritorial battlefield trial that occurs every five years; while Su Cheng He deliberately lowered his cultivation progress in order to participate in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference at the state of Qi Refining Dzogchen and compete for the precious tickets to the Infinite Sword Sect.

After paying such a heavy price, Su Yuanfeng would never allow himself to capsize in the gutter. Fortunately, the foundation of the Haiya Sect is much deeper than that of the Mountain Eagle Sect. Even the Guyun Sect, which seems to adhere to neutrality, has actually secretly formed an alliance with the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. This allowed Su Yuanfeng to intercept this important information in advance.

It can also be seen from this point that the Haiya Sect is indeed a local force that once made the Wuliang Sword Sect fearful.

The predecessor of the Mountain Eagle Sect was actually only one of the five founding families of the Haiya Sect, but it has now developed into the top five sects among the seventeen sects in the southeastern coastal area of ​​​​Zhongzhou; and only the Su family of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce has Including a large number of behind-the-scenes allies with powerful backgrounds such as the Light Sword Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Guyun Sect. And the Haiya City Su family is only the second-ranked founding family of the Haiya family!

According to the information revealed by Han Fulai and Li Qingyang respectively, the reason why the Su family was suppressed by the Jiang family was not only because Jiang Hua'an was a Jindan monk, but also because the Jiang family in Haiya City held an extremely powerful and mysterious force. strength.

But just like Yang Lu didn't see Su Yuanfeng's true power until today, the real trump card in Jiang Hua'an's hand was something that even Han Fulai, who was also from the Haiya family, couldn't see through. But this mysterious force is at least no worse than those of the Su family's fair-weather friends and Xi Jinhu, the editor-in-chief of the "Cultivation Financial Daily" bribed by the Han family.

Seeing that Su Yuanfeng was silent, Su Cheng continued: "Uncle, the Mountain Eagle Sect and our Haiya Sect belong to the southeastern coastal area of ​​​​Zhongzhou. It is very likely that I will face the disciples of the Mountain Eagle Sect before advancing to the top sixteen. You see... "

Su Yuanfeng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter! I have invested more than one million spirit stone coins for you. If you still can't deal with Chen Ming's disciples, then even if you join the Wuliang Sword Sect, you will only be humiliating yourself. That’s it!”

Su Cheng nodded and said firmly: "I will definitely not let you down!"

Seeing that his juniors were confident, Su Yuanfeng turned to the others and said: "If there are no other forces secretly operating, the current lottery results have basically been decided. Su Cheng's opponents in the first three rounds are not powerful sects. If nothing unexpected happens, In the sixth round, Su Cheng will face off against Ling Yang, a member of the Han lightsaber sect. In the seventh round, he will face off against Miss Qingning. I have already dealt with all the key opponents I may encounter in the fourth and fifth rounds. If you say hello in advance, there won’t be any big problems.”

As he spoke, he turned around again and cast his gaze on the two Light Sword Sect monks.

Qu Jing naturally knew what Su Yuanfeng meant, and nodded his chin to the direct disciple standing beside him, and said: "Ling Yang, President Su is trying to test the strength of the lower class, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone first! "

Ling Yang, a qi refining monk from the Hanguang Sword Sect, replied loudly: "President Su, I practice the supreme inheritance of the Hanguang Sword sect [Edgeless Sword]. I just advanced to the Great Perfection state of qi refining a few days ago. Supplemented by my low-level mental technique [Hidden Sword Technique], as long as the direct disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect do not appear, no one among the disciples of the same level in Zhongzhou will be my opponent!"

After saying that, Ling Yang closed his eyes slightly.

After a moment, a strong wave of spiritual energy surged out from his body. Everyone quickly raised their heads and looked in the direction where the wave of spiritual energy was transmitted, only to find that the dense clouds above Haiya City had been struck by an invisible force at some unknown time. A long and narrow opening was opened, and the soft moonlight just fell on the place where everyone was drinking and feasting.

Ling Yang slowly opened his eyes and said, "Tonight's banquet is so sumptuous, but this junior didn't bring any gifts, so he had to stay by the moonlight!"

Su Yuanfeng couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised continuously: "It is said that the edgeless sword of the Han Light Sword Sect is unstoppable if it is not unsheathed. When I see it today, its power is indeed extraordinary!"

Qu Jing also smiled and added: "Ling Yang has high-grade spiritual root qualifications, even compared to the inner disciples of the seven major sects of Kyushu. In order to support President Su, our Hanguang Sword Sect also sent the strongest Qi Refiner A real ace!"

"Su will definitely remember the Hanguang Sword Sect's support for our Haiya Chamber of Commerce!" After paying polite greetings to the Hanguang Sword Sect monks, Su Yuanfeng turned to Yang Lu again and said: "I'm afraid the pressure on your side is even greater. After all, you The eldest lady of the family needs to advance to the top 16 before she can join Su Cheng. I wonder if she is sure?"

Yang Lu immediately held up his hands and said: "The eldest lady said that she is at least 90% sure!"

There is nothing bragging in this statement.

Hearing that Heyu Pavilion killer Li Wen has proven with his life that ordinary monks in the Qi refining stage, even if they are holding a flying sword, cannot withstand Li Qingning's bare-handed flat A, not to mention that the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference allows you to carry your own magic weapon!

Hearing Yang Lu's determined tone, the monk surnamed Du from the Guyun Sect also smiled and echoed: "It is said that when Miss Li was at the Lingshi Reserve Bank, she studied under the Supreme Elder Tong Xingu of the Zijin Pavilion and the Supreme Elder of the Yufeng Sect. Elder Xiao Nan, Supreme Elder Cheng Hua of Guiyi Sect and other senior experts, participating in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference without disciples of the seven major sects is really killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!"

Yang Lu quickly said politely on behalf of his eldest lady: "In fact, with the strong strength of Fellow Daoist Su and Fellow Daoist Ren, it is not a problem to enter the top eight alone, and there is no need for us to take action. But as the saying goes, a lion fights a rabbit, and it is necessary to use all your strength. Even if This is something that already has a 99% success rate, and we helped fellow Daoist Su improve it to 99.9%, which is also excellent, this is the so-called double insurance!"

After these speeches with extremely high emotional intelligence, both Su Cheng and Ren Yi looked much better, especially Su Cheng, whose eyes looked at Yang Lu much softer.

Originally, everyone was colluding with each other to cheat on their own behalf, which was a disgraceful thing no matter how you looked at it. However, after Yang Lu's interpretation, the nature of the matter became that Su Cheng had completed 99% of the work, and we were all just here. A finishing touch. This sounds many times higher than "blowing the whistle".

Su Yuanfeng couldn't help but laughed and said, "It's such an honor for Su to have so many friends take action!"

Yang Lu and others also raised their glasses and said, "Then I wish President Su and Taoist friend Xiao Su an immediate success!"

This banquet where the cultivation capitalist families blended with each other ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

While the bosses were smiling and saying goodbye to each other, Yang Lu also sighed secretly in his heart: The Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference may indeed have been a martial arts competition in the early years, but after so many years, I am afraid that the competition has long been no longer about martial arts, but about worldliness!
