The Fourth Financial Crisis

I think when he first came to the world of cultivation, if Yang Lu wanted to get some latest information, he had to deceive Murong and other poor Haiya City newsboys in order to get a few words from the "Cultivation Financial Weekly", and then try to use these fragmented information. Make some inferences.

However, with Yang Lu's current status in the world, there is no longer a need to interpret official eight-part essays to obtain information.

As a new high-level executive of the Haiya Department, although Yang Lu cannot yet borrow Jiang Huaan's Tingheyuge intelligence channel, he can temporarily borrow the Haiya Department's regular intelligence system and the intelligence channels of Han Xinhe and Su Yuanfeng. .

The Haiya Department is a commercial sect that needs to collect all kinds of information the most. Even without the channels of Heyu Pavilion, its conventional intelligence capabilities are no less than those of the law enforcement halls of the seven major sects.

With the Haiya system's intelligence network all over Kyushu, no matter what troubles the Seven Majors send, they can't be hidden from his eyes and ears. Even if unexpected situations arise, he can prepare in advance. If it doesn't work, he can hire Ting He with a lot of money. It is not an option that Yuge cannot consider to silence Cheng Shida or Fu Zhibin.

Of course, it would be great if Fu Zhibin and Cheng Shida could handle the matter directly. As their lives and fortunes were at stake, Yang Lu believed that they would go all out.

After watching Fu Zhibin and Cheng Shida leave, Yang Lu, Wang Ziwei, and the two Yuan Ying ancestors were the only ones left on the scene.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Wang Ziwei also expressed gratitude: "This operation was a great success, and I would like to thank Advisor Yang for his support!"

Yang Lu waved his hand casually and said, "Assistant Wang, you're welcome. I wonder what your plans are next?"

Wang Ziwei sighed arrogantly: "As of now, I can't say that I have any plans. Our ancestors have just regained their freedom, and I have also taken the primary responsibility for the Qishan Prison escape case. The Jiuzhou cultivators will definitely try their best to hunt us down. , We still need to find a safe place to avoid the limelight. After all, the administrative resources of the major cultivation sects are limited, and it is impossible to maintain a high-intensity search all the time. Let’s wait for the limelight to pass before we take the next step!"

"Do you have somewhere to go now?"

Wang Ziwei smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. After all, I have been the assistant to the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank for decades. I still have some resources in Zhongzhou. It's not like I have nowhere to hide. It's just that my ancestors..."

After saying that, Wang Ziwei turned his inquiring gaze to Wang Sandao.

Wang Sandao said calmly: "I am not very familiar with the current situation in the world of cultivation. Since Li Qingyang has accepted you as his successor, and Li Qingyang is a person valued by the Ascended Immortal, of course I believe in the vision of my old friend! "

"Thank you ancestor for your trust!" Seeing Wang Sandao's obedient attitude, Wang Ziwei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He is really worried that his ancestor will act on his own initiative!

However, Mingzhu couldn't help but sneered: "Wang Sandao, you are still so superstitious about the judgment of the ascended immortal. It seems that after two hundred years in Qishan Prison, your knowledge has not improved at all!"

"what do you mean?"

"Isn't it Lu Yang's crime that you were imprisoned in Qishan Prison?"

Wang Sandao shook his head firmly; "We are just fulfilling our agreement with the Bandit King. This is not his fault!"

"It's not the appearance's fault, so whose fault is it?"

This time Wang Sandao just remained silent, obviously not wanting to get too entangled with Mingzhu on this issue, and Mingzhu was not angry and still had that sneer on his face.

Wang Ziwei saw that the two Nascent Soul Ancestors were silent, so he continued: "After the storm has passed, we will definitely rescue the compatriots of the spirit race who have been enslaved by the seven major sects, and the Wuliang Sword Sect has the largest number of enslaved spirit races in the world of cultivation. The cultivation sect controls one-third of the total number of Jiuzhou Spiritual Tribes. When the time comes, we will definitely go to meet that leader Lin!"

Mingzhu said in a mocking tone: "What? Are you going to ignore the agreement with Lu Yang this time?"

Wang Sandao shook his head and said: "The Bandit King once said that when he leaves the world of cultivation, our spiritual race will be completely free and will no longer be subject to any restrictions. We choose to live in peace with the cultivators, but we are not willing to let down the Bandit King. expectations, but peace requires the joint efforts of both parties, and we will not just be lambs to be slaughtered."

Mingzhu continued to taunt: "So your spirit tribe is preparing to start a new war with the world of cultivation?"

Wang Sandao denied it again and said: "According to Lord Bandit King, we just want to make a living. If you cultivators insist on forcing each other hard, we have no choice!"

Mingzhu still wanted to ridicule, but Yang Lu took the lead and said: "In this case, we will definitely have opportunities to cooperate in the future. If I want to inherit the legacy of President Lu Yang, I must also gain control of the Wuliang Sword Sect, at least Let the Wuliang Sword Sect stand on our side, and Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, is the one we can't get around!"

Wang Ziwei nodded and said: "After the setback in Haiya City, Lin Jianxing has resorted to all possible means to control the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Even if he manages to deal with the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce, President Yun probably won't be able to resist it for long. , if you are planning to take action against Leader Lin, this opportunity will probably come soon, but what are you going to do? We want to rescue the Spirit Tribe of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and there are some tricks, but we want to force Lin Jianxing to give in. Then..."

Yang Lu understood what the other party meant, and interrupted with a smile: "Master Lin is the lord of Zhongzhou after all. Even if senior Wang Sandao and senior Mingzhu fully support me, I am not qualified to take over the Wuliang Sword Sect. But politics is to We have many friends and few enemies. We fully strive for the support of Mo Yunlan and even Tian Daxiao, especially Mo Yunlan. Only this person can compete with Lin Jianxing within the Wuliang Sword Sect. And after overthrowing Lin Jianxing, We also need Elder Mo to stand up and take charge of the overall situation. After all, Mo Yunlan is already recognized by the Ascension Immortal, so for him to serve as the leader of the Infinite Sword Sect is a popular choice and a legitimate one!"

If it were another Qi Refining Stage monk who said that he wanted to make friends with the Yuan Ying Ancestor and push the Supreme Elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect to the leadership position, Wang Ziwei would probably have been laughed to death on the spot.

However, when Yang Lu said this, he did not dare to refute.

Yang Lu just came to Arctic State for a business trip, and he made friends with Yin Huaiyuan from the seventh level of Yuanying, Mingzhu from the third level of Yuanying, and Wang Sandao who was said to be able to rival the tenth level of Yuanying.

If the Wuliang Sword Sect was not as strategically located as the Great Sen Luo Wanxiang Sword Formation, with the current lineup he had, he would have been able to form a team with the six Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Even if Yang Lu told him now, Mo Yun Lan is actually one of his, so Wang Ziwei won't be surprised at all...

However, Mingzhu sneered: "You want to ask Mo Yunlan for help? He is probably the person who wants to get rid of me the most in the world today!"

Yang Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say this?"

Mingzhu said calmly: "When I plotted to assassinate Lu Yang, Mo Yunlan was the personal bodyguard responsible for protecting Lu Yang. If Ma Tianyi hadn't stopped him in time, Lu Yang and Mo Yunlan would have been killed by me. Got it!"

Mingzhu actually murdered Mo Yunlan back then?

No wonder Mingzhu, as a dignified Golden Elixir Dzogchen monk and a registered disciple of the Ascended Immortal, had received so many death-free gold medals, but in the end he could not avoid being imprisoned in Qishan Prison...

How many people did this guy offend back then? !

Yang Lu was speechless, but Wang Sandao took the initiative and said: "The bandit king once said that Mo Yunlan is a very well-organized person, and he is definitely not the kind of person with a small belly. The past is in the past. If Mo Yunlan still cares about those little things, there is no way he can get the approval of the Bandit King."

Hearing Wang Sandao recite the Bandit King's quotations again, Mingzhu just rolled his eyes speechlessly:

In this guy's eyes, even Lu Yang's farts taste good!

Wang Sandao ignored Ming Zhu's disdainful attitude, but turned to Yang Lu and asked, "I heard from Wang Ziwei that you are Li Qingyang's most recognized successor, and he is even planning to pass on his mantle to you. The clan has always regarded the Bandit King as a god, so we can be considered a family. Is there anything you need my help with?"

If it were anyone else, he would probably go crazy with joy hearing this.

This is a favor from the strongest man in Kyushu!

However, Yang Lu did not intend to make any specific requests to Wang Sandao. After all, the two parties were naturally allies, and there would be no time to contact him if needed in the future. In contrast, he wanted to know more about the secrets of the ascended immortals hundreds of years ago.

Regarding the Spiritual Tribe and President Lu Yang, Yang Lu's questions had already skyrocketed. He had been worried about how to speak to Wang Sandao before, but he didn't expect that the identity of Li Qingyang's disciple was so easy to use, and he actually got Wang Sandao directly. good impression.

So of course he was not polite and asked directly: "I do have many questions that I need you to answer. The most important question is, what kind of existence is the Spiritual Race in the Wilderness Realm?"

After hearing Yang Lu talk about the flying immortal, even Mingzhu, who had originally looked disdainful, cheered up again.

Although Mingzhu was also a person close to Governor Lu Yang back then, he had never participated in the development plan of the Wilderness Territory, and his understanding of the Wilderness Territory was only average in the world of cultivation.

And Wang Sandao is a real native of the Wilderness Territory!

Although the Jiuzhou cultivators brought back many spirit tribe natives from the Wilderness Territory, the martial arts of the spirit tribe could not increase the life span of the spirit tribe like cultivating the heart method. Only a very small number of enlightened spirits were directly enlightened by the ascended immortals. Clan, because they have practiced the Kyushu True Heart Method, their life span can exceed the limit of ordinary mortals.

However, it has been 500 years since the end of the Wilderness Domain Development Plan.

Even the Kaihua Ling Clan who practice the method of cultivating the heart, as long as they are not as successful as Wang Sandao, will have their lifespan depleted. In addition, the Kaihua Ling Clan had a war with cultivators back then, and most of the cultivators Because all the highly civilized Spirit Clan have died on the battlefield, today's Jiuzhou Spirit Clan are basically "Spirit N Generation" like Wang Ziwei. If Wang Ziwei had not become Li Qingyang's student, he would not know much about the Spirit Clan. More than ordinary cultivators.

Looking at the world of cultivation today, Wang Sandao is probably the only real native of the Wilderness Territory!

After hearing the open questions that Yang Lu talked about in general terms, even though Wang Sandao was a native of the Wilderness Territory, he still needed to organize his language a little.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly recounted the history of the Spirit Clan that he knew. The history of the Spirit Clan dictated by Wang Sandao was indeed different from the mainstream version circulated in the cultivation world, and the details were obviously richer... …

According to the mainstream theory in the world of cultivation, the Spirit Tribe is the savage natives of the Wilderness Territory. In the eyes of those cultivators who participated in the Wilderness Territory development plan, there was no civilization at all in the Wilderness Territory. The local Spirit Tribe except that they looked like humans , and apart from being able to speak, they are almost as civilized as monsters.

However, Yang Lu always felt that this explanation was very problematic, because if the Spiritual Race were really uncivilized savages, why could they develop an advanced language similar to the level of the Jiuzhou Cultivation World? You must know that the complexity of language is directly proportional to the degree of civilization. There has never been a reason why savages can develop advanced languages.

Moreover, language skills also require application scenarios to maintain.

According to the records of the cultivation world, before the cultivators came to the wilderness area, no outsiders had set foot in the wilderness area for at least thousands of years. Even if the ancient immortals really taught them the language of the cultivation world, it would be difficult for them after so many generations. Maintain your former language skills.

But through the introduction of Wang Sandao himself, Yang Lu discovered that the records of cultivators left out a lot of key information.

According to Wang Sandao, the Wilderness Territory is a livable planet similar to the size of the Earth. This planet is completely covered by dense primitive jungles. Only in the center of the Wilderness Territory is an ancient ruin called Star City. It is said that The martial arts and civilization of the Wilderness Territory originated from the Star City, and the Spirit Clan of the Wilderness Territory was originally a resident of the Star City. This is in line with what the world of cultivation says, the Star Capital is the relic of the ancient heaven, while the Spirit Tribe is It coincides with what the immortal servants of the ancient heaven said.

According to the ancient legends of the Spirit Tribe, the Star Capital once had a glorious civilization. However, I don’t know when a huge chaos suddenly broke out in the Star Capital, making the original home of the Spirit Tribe no longer livable, and the Star Capital turned into a huge... In the ruins, only a few spirit races fled to the wilderness and survived.

After losing the blessing of the Star City, the Spirit Clan could not maintain its previous level of civilization. The entire civilization quickly degenerated into a state of chaos and disorder similar to that of Monkey Mountain. If the Spirit Clan did not have a man named "Emperor Mang Huang" The strong men maintain order, and the entire Eldar civilization may have perished long ago in the bottomless killing of each other.

According to the knowledge of the natives of the Manghuang Territory, the Manghuang Martial Emperor is the only known powerful warrior who has cultivated to the level of the Martial Emperor. He has also successfully entered the Tao through martial arts and achieved immortality. With overwhelming strength that no one can match, , Emperor Manghuang Wu also became the supreme ruler of the entire Manghuang Territory, and ruled the Manghuang Territory for thousands of years.

However, although Emperor Manghuang was very powerful, his management ability had its limits.

You must know that the spirit race is born with the ability to practice martial arts. All adult spirit races have at least the physical fitness of earth's superheroes. They can blow up a building with one punch. No matter how strong Emperor Manghuang is, he is only one person. Without an arbitration machine similar to the way of heaven, he was unable to stop these "superhuman spirits" from fighting each other.

Therefore, for a long time, the Eldar society has always maintained a state called "low-level equilibrium" by Governor Lu Yang:

Everyone kills each other and is wary of each other. They form small groups tied by blood and hide in the deep mountains and old forests of the wilderness. Just like the Viet Cong guerrillas, they are always ready to kill others, or to be killed by others. The population density and settlements The scale has always been maintained at a very low level, and the living conditions are not even as good as those of the savages in the Paleolithic Age of the Earth.
