The Fourth Financial Crisis

Since "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly" has publicly reported it and has received official endorsement from the top leaders of the seven major sects, even if Yang Lu ran directly to the door of the Hanguang Sword Sect and shouted, "I am actually the mastermind behind the Qishan Prison case", it is estimated that He will also be treated as a lunatic.

Therefore, Yang Lu pretended to have just rushed back to Hanguang City and showed up in public with great swagger.

It's just that he is a traveler of Wang Ziwei after all, and has long been on the list of key concerns of the Six Sects in the Far North. Although the case has been determined, he was just discovered by the law enforcement monks of the Hanguang Sword Sect who were facing a formidable enemy. Please go to the city lord's mansion to ask.

If Ancestor Mingzhu hadn't cast a Nascent Soul-level concealment spell in advance to hide him, I'm afraid even he would have been taken away by the Light Sword Sect Law Enforcement Hall.

However, the law enforcement monks of the Hanguang Sword Sect did not have the opportunity to interrogate Yang Lu, because Yang Lu had just arrived at the main palace of Hanguang City, and before he could even sit down, Ling Yang, an old acquaintance of the Hanguang Sword Sect, brought him The decree of Wu Yanjun, the head of the Light Sword Sect, stated that the head of Wu would "interrogate" Yang Lu personally.

Although the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Hanguang Sword Sect were very strange as to why Head Wu had received the news and came over to fish for people as soon as he had brought people under control, the Hanguang Sword Sect still had the final say after all, so he also He could only let him go honestly and let Ling Yang take Yang Lu to the Hanguang City Lord's office in Head Wu.

Yang Lu was not surprised by Master Wu's warm invitation.

Because Wu Yanjun was the main man behind the prison break, since Yang Lu dared to reveal his identity publicly, he was sure that Master Wu would come forward to protect him. He even summoned Lingyang specifically to inform him, otherwise Master Wu would The decree of the sect will not come so quickly.

As Yang Lu expected, what awaited him in Hanguang City's main office was not so much an interrogation as a tea party with a harmonious atmosphere. Leader Wu Yanjun not only prepared the special spirit tea of ​​Arctic State early, but also brought a tea party that had just been held in Qishan The deputy warden Fu Zhibin, who had been separated from the prison for a while, called over to stay with him.

Ling Yang, who did not participate in this jailbreak operation, is not even qualified to accompany him.

Although this prison break operation was full of surprises and twists and turns, the final result was generally satisfactory. The entire Qishan Prison has now been razed to the ground, and no one can trace the secrets of the Qishan Prison Lingshi Reserve. Regarding the misappropriation, as one of the biggest vested interests, Head Wu seemed to be happy.

Since there were no outsiders present, Master Wu ignored what he said and repeatedly praised Yang Lu as "a boy born of heroes", which made Yang Lu, who was very skilled in shameless skills, blush.

Fu Zhibin's face looked a little unnatural because he had concealed a large number of details about what happened inside Qishan Prison, but Wu Yanjun did not doubt him and just thought that he had just committed a major crime and had not yet adjusted. own mentality.

Of course, even if Wu Yanjun knew what happened in Qishan Prison, he would most likely not say anything more. After all, what he wanted to see was that Qishan Prison was razed to the ground. As for what the process was like, he didn't care at all. !

Since both parties had done such a big thing together, Wu Yanjun now completely regarded Yang Lu and Fu Zhibin as his own.

So he also gave Fu Zhibin a few words of encouragement, saying that the road to cultivation is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Every cultivator must get a chance to progress at all costs. If he doesn't even have the courage to plan a riot in Qishan Prison, , they are destined not to go far on the road of cultivation, let alone achieve the Nascent Soul realm.

After hearing Wu Yanjun's condescending attitude, Fu Zhibin could only humbly bow his head and accept the instruction.

Although they are both Golden Core monks, the status gap between Wu Yanjun and Fu Zhibin is still very huge. Fu Zhibin is only a middle-stage Golden Core monk, while Wu Yanjun has already reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm. He only needs to survive the legendary great battle. During the heavenly catastrophe, Master Wu will be able to cultivate the Nascent Soul.

However, the great calamity is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed. Therefore, before facing the great calamity, half-step Nascent Soul cultivators must try their best to search for those spiritual artifacts and golden wheels of merit that can help overcome the calamity. , try to improve your chances of success as much as possible. A reckless person like Mingzhu can only be said to be a special case among special cases.

This head Wu never started trying because he felt that he was not sure enough.

Yang Lu even suspected that Head Wu, as the dignified head of the Sixth Sect in the Far North, wanted to participate in the major case in Qishan Prison in order to obtain enough cultivation resources as soon as possible to help him advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

At the end of the tea party, head Wu Yanjun specifically told Yang Lu that the Hanguang Sword Sect and the Haiya Chamber of Commerce have been partners for thousands of years. Now that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has also become a member of the Haiya Sect, there will be more opportunities for both parties in the future. There is a lot of room for cooperation. If the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has any problems that cannot be solved, they can directly call the Hanguang Sword Sect for help. He also promised to talk to Cheng Shuying and let the supreme elder of the Infinite Sword Sect take care of him personally. This young talent.

Faced with Wu Yanjun's proactive overtures, Yang Lu naturally understood and reciprocated the favor, saying that if the Northern Lights Chamber of Commerce under the Hanguang Sword Sect encountered any problems in the outlying island area, he could reveal his identity as Consultant Yang of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. banner.

Of course, Master Wu is very satisfied with this, and once again expressed that Consultant Yang’s future achievements may be limitless!

Since Wu Yanjun, the head of the Hanguang Sword Sect, has this attitude, it is naturally impossible for this "interrogation conference" to produce any results. And with Yang Lu's endorsement from the Hanguang Sword Sect, the rest of the matter will be much easier to handle. Under Wu Yanjun's personal instruction, the Hanguang Sword Law Enforcement Hall quickly produced a pretentious investigation report.

According to the final investigation results of the Hanguang Sword Sect Law Enforcement Hall (which are actually the one-sided statements of Yang Lu and Fu Zhibin), Yang Lu was also a victim of the Qishan Prison riot, and was completely deceived by the cunning undercover Spirit Tribe Wang Ziwei. Before he could Entering the lowest level of Qishan Prison, Wang Ziwei, who was the first to enter the lowest level of Qishan Prison, used evil methods to release Wang Sandao. Yang Lu was of low cultivation and ran for his life when he saw that the situation was not going well, and he luckily escaped. .

As for whether you believe it or not, Master Wu believes it anyway.

A few days later, Xiuzhen Financial Weekly also published follow-up official reports on the Qishan Prison riot.

However, the official explanation from the "Cultivation Financial Weekly" is very brief. It just states that Wang Ziwei, the assistant to the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, is actually an undercover agent who has been placed by the Ling clan within the cultivation world for many years. This person is really too cunning. When he went to Li Qingyang, Lin Jianxing, and went down to Yang Lu Shida, almost everyone who knew him was deceived by him.

All in all, all the mistakes were the fault of Wang Ziwei alone. Everyone except Wang Ziwei was the victim!

The casualty report of Qishan Prison finally came out.

Among the 427 prisoners held in the prison, 118 were confirmed dead, 129 were re-arrested, and the remaining 180 are still missing, and the prison guards are even more worried. Thirty-eight dead and 117 injured were suffered. Ke Zheng and Ming Zhu were also listed among the dead. The work of the six extreme northern sects to hunt down escaped prisoners will also continue.

The only slight regret is that Yang Lu still failed to confirm the life and death of his old acquaintance Lu Anping.

As for the rest of the content, it is the real-name statement of condemnation issued by the big guys in the cultivation world. In this long statement of condemnation, in addition to Wu Yanjun, Yang Lu also saw the names of several other behind-the-scenes masterminds. Even Cheng Shuying, who was far away in Zhongzhou, wrote an article saying that such unscrupulous atrocities would never be tolerated.

What’s very funny is that although Xiuzhen Financial Weekly spent several days reporting on the Qishan Prison case, it never mentioned the real protagonist of the prison escape case:

Wang San Dao!

This was not beyond Yang Lu's expectation.

After all, Wang Sandao is recognized as the strongest man in Kyushu. If it were so easy to catch him, the cultivators would not have deceived him to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect and then launched a siege. Now, "Cultivating Financial Weekly" has not mentioned it at all. This incident shows that the current senior leaders of the cultivation world have not thought about how to deal with this person.

Therefore, Wang Sandao is like the elephant in the room. Although everyone knows that there is such an unstable factor in the tenth level of Nascent Soul, which will have a serious impact on the pattern of the Jiuzhou cultivation world, everyone is pretending Didn't realize this.

Since Wang Sandao himself wanted to avoid the limelight and did not intend to cause trouble everywhere, this caused the Jiuzhou cultivation world to fall into a strange silent equilibrium. According to Yang Lu, this is simply the calm before the storm!

With the conclusion of the official investigation, the public opinion storm in Qishan Prison gradually subsided. In the end, Wang Sandao and Wang Ziwei took all the responsibility for this major investigation into Qishan Prison.

After the serialization of the series of reports is completed, the unpunished Mingzhu will be able to appear in public. This time he changed his name to "Sanxiu Hongtao". As the new guest of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, under the farewell of the six extreme northern sects, he followed Yang Lu in an upright manner. Boarded the Feitian Spirit Boat heading to Haiya City.

Logically speaking, there are still a large number of prisoners on the loose in Qishan Prison. If such random cultivators of unknown origin suddenly appear in Hanguang City, the Hanguang Sword Sect must investigate. However, everyone in the Hanguang Sword Sect now knows that Consultant Yang was a distinguished guest of Sect Master Wu, and was also a good friend of Elder Qu and Elder Fu. No one dared to check the identity of Hong Keqing, so they all accepted Yang Lu's excuse.

As for why the name "Hong Tao" was chosen, Mingzhu just said that it was just the name of an old friend.

Since Mingzhu’s ancestor’s ancestors were all ancient people hundreds of years ago, Yang Lu didn’t know who Mr. Hong Tao was, but looking at the complicated expression on Mingzhu’s face, there must be a past behind it. It's just that Mingzhu didn't seem willing to say more, and Yang Lu was too embarrassed to take the initiative to inquire.

It stands to reason that with the Nascent Soul monk personally piloting the spirit boat, the distance of tens of thousands of miles from Arctic State to Haiya City can be reached in just one day. However, Ming Zhuming is just a foundation-building monk. If Han Guang is still there today, City, and will appear in Haiya City tomorrow. Even the most sane people can realize that there is something wrong with this group of people.

Yang Lu was cautious and would definitely not make such a low-level mistake, so he still let Lin Musen be responsible for driving the spirit boat, while he and Ming Zhu would just be passengers.

Lin Musen was not originally a very honest tool, especially after he became the official deacon of the Arctic Cold Palace and obtained the legal status granted by Yin Huaiyuan. When he talked to Yang Lu, he felt quite confident. If it weren't for both parties now With each opponent holding a fatal secret, Lin Musen was probably ready to fly solo.

Even so, if it were Lin Musen from before, Yang Lu would still have to complain a few words like "I'm here to be a guest, not a driver."

However, the pressure of Mingzhu, the Nascent Soul cultivator, was too heavy. Seeing Yang Lu chatting and laughing with such a big boss, Lin Musen was stunned and did not dare to complain. After all, if he was not the driver, he would have to let Mingzhu. Can Zhu Lai be a driver?

Mingzhu was not familiar with Lin Musen and only regarded this dull gourd-like young monk in the foundation building stage as a tool. However, Yang Lu saw this change in his eyes.

And this is the benefit of Mingzhu returning to Haiya City with him.

A dignified Nascent Soul Stage monk, even if he sticks like a wooden stake and does nothing, he can still subtly influence the thoughts of many people and simplify many complex things countless times!

In this way, while enjoying the vast scenery of the Eastern Ocean, Yang Lu talked with Mingzhu, who had been out of touch with the world of cultivation for two hundred years, to popularize common sense in the world of cultivation today (since the changes that have occurred in the world of cultivation over the past few hundred years are very limited, it is equivalent to the earth After decades, this job is not as difficult as imagined), the journey of a few days passed quickly, and with Lin Musen’s reminder, Yang Lu once again vaguely saw Haiya City from the distant sea level. Outline.

Upon seeing this, Mingzhu was about to stand up and sigh something, but he found a communication spell suddenly shot from directly in front of the spirit boat.

"Huh? This is actually a summons from Jiang Hua'an?"

"Jiang Hua'an? Isn't he the current Lord of Haiya City? You can exchange private messages. It seems that the relationship is not simple!"

"That's right..."

Seeing this message that fell directly into his palm, Yang Lu was also a little surprised, because he and Jiang Hua'an were not really close, and this person rarely sent him private messages.

Just as he was about to check its contents, he discovered that several communication spells appeared in succession on the horizon in the distance, shooting in his direction like raindrops!
