The Fourth Financial Crisis

Haiya City Lord's Mansion.

Dozens of famous monks from the southeast coast of Zhongzhou gathered together, waiting for the official launch of the merit bank listing ceremony.

This listing ceremony is currently a top priority for the Wuliang Sword Sect and even the Zhongzhou cultivation world. Almost all the major cultivation sects within a few thousand miles around Haiya City sent their first or second leaders to watch the ceremony. Representatives of overseas sects stationed in Zhongzhou also Everyone is present. If someone launches an infinite calamity in the main palace of Haiya City at this moment, almost half of the high-level members of the vassal sects in Zhongzhou can be wiped out.

Although all the big guys came to watch the ceremony in name, the atmosphere at the scene was far from harmonious due to the many conflicts among the various sects.

I saw a white-haired young monk saying to Jiang Huaan angrily: "City Lord Jiang is really a good trick. He just used some worthless eggs to toy with the millions of mortals in the Haiya Plain. No wonder overseas monks always He said that the most powerful thing in Zhongzhou is not the mental method of cultivating the truth, but the knowledge of manipulating ordinary people."

Since forcing out the former leader Lin Jianxing, Jiang Hua'an has become the true king of the sea cliff. I am afraid that no one will dare to speak to him in this tone for a long time.

However, facing the ridicule of the white-haired boy, Jiang Huaan just waved his hands and said with a smile: "Master Chen's words, Jiang can take it as a compliment. After all, spending small money to do big things has always been our Haiya City tradition. virtue."

Chen Ming immediately sneered, and was about to retort, but Jiang Hua'an beat him to it and continued: "Master Chen, our Haiya Sect and your Shanying Sect were one family seven thousand years ago, and they were completely members of the Wuliang Sword Sect back then. Head Bo Qing forcibly split our family into two. Now that the top management of the Wuliang Sword Sect has completely bridged the differences, it’s time for our two families to put aside those old grudges and move forward. I think Elder Cheng Shuying would also like to see Let’s shake hands and make peace between our two sects!”

Chen Ming opened his mouth, but what he wanted to say never came out.

Because Jiang Huaan's guess was absolutely correct. This time Haiya City hosted the opening ceremony of the Merit Bank. As the head of the Shanying Sect, the mortal enemy of the Haiya Sect, he personally came to support it. It was indeed Cheng Shuying's instruction behind it.

After all, the top management of the Wuliang Sword Sect has just completed a major reshuffle, and they want to promote such a major reform. It is necessary for the major internal factions to show their sincerity of unity, and what can be better than Chen Ming, the mortal enemy of the Haiya Sect, to come in person? How about giving a platform for reform to better demonstrate the unity atmosphere of the Wuliang Sword Sect today?

Therefore, Chen Ming could only force out a smile and said: "Our Zhongzhou cultivation world is a whole after all. Your Haiya City affairs are going smoothly, which is good for everyone. What I just said is naturally a compliment."

However, Jiang Huaan straightened his expression and said with cupped hands: "Thank you, Master Chen, for your understanding! In fact, we all know that not everyone in the huge Kyushu cultivation world wants to see this listing ceremony successfully held, so forcing mortals to cooperate is only the best option. The basic work, and more importantly, is to prevent the unscrupulous elements of hostile forces from coming to do malicious damage. The preparation work of the Merit Bank has taken a full two months so far, but there has been no major trouble in Haiya City so far. I think Chen The leader must have also put in a lot of effort secretly."

Jiang Huaan's words indeed came from his heart.

After all, the Haiya Faction and the Mountain Eagle Faction have been fighting for thousands of years. If you want to say which force has planted the most nails in Haiya City, it must be Tianshu City, Haiya City's good neighbor. These nails may not be able to be accomplished. What happened, but the ability to do bad things is not small. Chen Ming was the mole placed in Haiya City through the Shanying Sect. He learned the information about Ye Chen's whereabouts earlier than Jiang Hua'an, and rushed to listen to Heyu Pavilion. The killer brought Ye Chen back to the Mountain Eagle Faction.

It is precisely because everyone knows that the Mountain Eagle Faction is capable of causing trouble in Haiya City. Whether it is Liu Hanxing or various foreign forces, if they want to open up a situation in Haiya City, they will immediately think of using the power of the Mountain Eagle Faction.

If Yang Lu hadn't cleverly used Ye Chen's incident to break up Chen Ming and Liu Hanxing in advance, facing the cooperation between Lin Jianxing and the local snake Chen Ming, Jiang Hua'an might not have been able to help even with the help of Ting He Yu Pavilion and the external forces of Huoyun State. It's not that easy to get away with it.

Moreover, Haiya City has only been calm on the surface recently.

Since Jiang Hua'an's identity as the founding director of Ting He Yu Pavilion has not been widely exposed, just within Ting He Yu Pavilion, he has recently received dozens of high-dollar rewards from all over Kyushu, all targeting illegal activities in Haiya City. differential terrorist attacks.

Of course, these bounties were not released at all, and were cut off by Jiang Hua'an first.

However, the hostile forces that want to destroy this listing ceremony cannot put all their treasures on Tingheyu Pavilion. As Jiang Hua'an's mortal enemy on the table, everyone knows it even with their toes. There must be many people who hope that there will be trouble in Zhongzhou. The overseas cultivation forces will send people to secretly contact Chen Ming.

Although Haiya City and the Wuliang Sword Sect have been well prepared for a long time, they can only guard against those unscrupulous people who come to cause havoc temporarily. If they want to guard against the deep-lurking inner ghosts of the Mountain Eagle Sect, even Jiang Huaan himself cannot How much confidence, and there was no trouble in Haiya City during this period, which proved that Chen Ming at least did not take the opportunity to seek revenge.

Chen Ming could naturally hear what Jiang Huaan meant.

Facing Jiang Hua'an's thanks, Chen Ming raised his hand and threw out a list, snorting coldly: "I also sent a copy of this list to Elder Cheng and Leader Mo before I came here. City Lord Jiang might as well take a look for himself to see how many there have been recently. People want to see your Haiya City suffer misfortune! I’m going to be blunt, all the reputable sectarian forces in the entire world of cultivation have probably sent people to contact me recently!"

Jiang Hua'an only briefly glanced at the list, put it in his arms, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master Chen, for your support! Since Master Chen gave Jiang such a great gift, Jiang will not go without repayment, either way, Our Haiya Department is willing to take out 2 million spirit stone coins and deposit the first amount into our Haiya Bank’s merit account in the name of Master Chen!”

2 million spirit stone coins?

Upon hearing this number, the heads of various factions present were shocked.

Although everyone was a respectable big shot, they never expected that Jiang Hua'an would directly give Chen Ming such a big gift.

You must know that although the major cultivation sects in Zhongzhou Continent now have strong assets, their cash flow is not very good. The annual financial income of ordinary sects is only about 20 million spirit stone coins, while relatively wealthy sects such as the Mountain Eagle Sect can probably There are 30 million spirit stone coins. Even if the leader can get it, it will not be easy to get 2 million spirit stone coins.

Even Chen Ming himself had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

However, after all, Chen Ming had experienced many battles and had seen a lot, so he immediately reacted and said: "For a mere 2 million spirit stone coins, I want to tie the Shanying Sect to the Shanghai Cliff Sect's chariot. City Lord Jiang is really a good businessman! "

Jiang Hua'an waved his hand and denied it: "Master Chen's words are wrong! I am not trying to bribe the Mountain Eagle Sect. These are just my personal gifts to you. They have nothing to do with your two sects. You also There is no need to have any psychological burden, just think that this money is used to redeem the list you just gave me! Now we can be considered as having both money and goods!"

After hearing Jiang Hua'an's explanation, Chen Ming nodded and said, "Okay, since Lord Jiang is so generous, I won't be polite!"

Before coming to Haiya City this time, Cheng Shuying had specifically asked him to find an opportunity to publicly express his support for the work of Gongde Bank. Since Jiang Hua'an was willing to donate money, he happened to be the first person to take the lead in donating money by borrowing flowers and offering them to Buddha. In this way, he got the money in a reasonable and reasonable manner. Li, it can be regarded as fulfilling the instructions of Elder Cheng Shuying, and his face is justifiable.

Seeing that Chen Ming had no objection, Jiang Hua'an stroked his beard as if he had expected it. Just when he was about to greet the other sect leaders, a disciple of the Haiya sect rushed out to deliver a message.

"City Lord Jiang, the listing ceremony is ready. All distinguished guests are invited to watch the ceremony at the City Lord's Mansion Square!"

Hearing this, Jiang Hua'an immediately stood up and personally pulled Chen Ming's sleeves, and said to everyone with a smile: "In that case, please invite all the leaders to come with me. Today... may be recorded in the history of the world of cultivation. A moment!”
