The Fourth Financial Crisis

Chapter 536 31 Meeting

Chapter 536 3+1 Meeting

Liu Hanxing could not have imagined that just as they had formulated the next action plan, the specific content of this plan was already placed intact on the desks of the bigwigs in the cultivation world of Haiya City.

Under the personal chairmanship of Jiang Hua'an, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion also convened a "3+1" closed-door meeting to focus on the next response strategy. The protagonists of the meeting were naturally the three giants of the Haiya system and Yang Lu, the representative of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce who provided key intelligence.

After receiving the meeting notice from Jiang Hua'an, Yang Lu did not dare to delay for a moment. He hurriedly said goodbye to Li Qingning and set off from the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the meeting.

This time he did not come empty-handed, but brought with him the Eternal Heart Gu worm that he had purchased from Fei Fan at a high price of 200,000 Lingshi coins.

When he was in the battlefield outside the domain, Yang Lu relied on this Gu to hold Ye Chen hostage to do things for him. This time when the Haiya system encountered a crisis, this Gu worm once again became Yang Lu's strongest trump card.

According to the information provided by Yang Chenglong, Qiu Bufeng's method of breaking the ban requires the formation to artificially amplify the soul induction between Ye Chen and the secret room by a hundred times, and then use Ye Chen's sixth sense to reversely sense the specific location of the Haiya Archives.

If the Haiya system is really desperate in the end, Yang Lu plans to use the strategy of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot, and use this Gu worm to forcibly control Ye Chen, so that he has no time to mobilize the soul for induction.

This method is simple and crude, but very effective.

If Fei Fan knew that the Gu worm in his hand had such a powerful effect, not only could it help Li Qingning pass the battlefield outside the domain, but it could even save the entire Haiya system at a critical moment, he would definitely regret it.

Yang Lu has no doubt that if Jiang Hua'an has the opportunity to buy this Gu worm with money, he will be willing to pay even 20 million spirit stone coins!

Although the Eternal Heart Gu can completely defeat Liu Hanxing's conspiracy, Yang Lu does not want to use such a vicious method if it is not impossible. This is not because he is kind, but this method can easily push Qingning Chamber of Commerce to the forefront.

So far, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is only a business partner of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, and has not had any direct confrontation with the Wuliang Sword Sect. Even if Zhu Ziming once wanted to drag the Qingning Chamber of Commerce into the water, Yang Lu easily resolved it with his clever means.

After all, compared with the intricate Haiya system, the foundation of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is too weak. If the Wuliang Sword Sect can't deal with the Haiya system, can it not control the small Qingning Chamber of Commerce?

Therefore, Yang Lu has been trying his best to avoid standing on the opposite side of the Wuliang Sword Sect, hiding behind the scenes as much as possible.

What's more, Yang Lu doesn't think that the Haiya system will not be able to leave him. He always has a vague premonition in his heart, that is, the Wuliang Sword Sect's order to block the Haiya system, although it is beyond everyone's expectations, should not disrupt Jiang Hua'an's deployment.

This is not Yang Lu's conjecture.

The main reason is that the Haiya system has been too calm during this period. Even though Liu Hanxing brought Ye Chen to Haiya City with great fanfare, and it was clear that he was going to deal with the Haiya system, Jiang Hua'an and others remained indifferent.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

Yang Lu felt that Jiang Hua'an must have a trump card that he hadn't used yet!

Maybe Liu Hanxing wanted to catch the turtle in the urn in Haiya City, and Jiang Hua'an was planning to play a trick!

Therefore, before the Haiya system showed its trump card, Yang Lu did not intend to take the initiative to reveal his trump card. After all, he was just a new noble in Haiya City. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on the old money in Haiya City to support him. This time, he attended the closed-door meeting and was also curious about what other means the Haiya system bosses could use!

While flying with the escape light, Yang Lu arrived outside the Haiya City Lord's Mansion in a few takeoffs and landings.

This should be his second visit to the Haiya City Lord's Mansion. When he first came to the Haiya City Lord's Mansion, even if he wanted to meet the mortal clerk Han Fulai, he had to be cautious and tread on thin ice. However, this time when he came to the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Hua'an had already arranged for Haiya disciples to greet him at the main gate before he even stepped into the gate.

The Haiya disciple who was responsible for welcoming him obviously knew what kind of status Consultant Yang had in Haiya City, and his attitude was as respectful as if he was welcoming the master of his own sect.

Under the leadership of this person, Yang Lu gave the green light throughout the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion and went directly to the top floor City Lord's Office. In the City Lord's Office, Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe were already sitting at Jiang Hua'an's desk waiting for him.

Seeing Yang Lu walk into his office last like the chairman of the conference (actually because his escape light speed was the slowest and his office was the most remote), Jiang Hua'an couldn't help but feel emotional.

Just over two years ago, Yang Lu had just completed the Ascension Conference under his eyes. Although this person had already made a lot of noise when he was still a mortal, Jiang Hua'an at that time did not have any special impression of this low-grade spiritual root cultivator.

But who could have thought that after just over two years, the other party would suddenly become a guest of honor in his office, and even the highest-level internal meeting of the Haiya system had to invite this person to participate.

For a Jindan-stage cultivator like Jiang Hua'an who could easily live for hundreds of years, these two years were just a blink of an eye!

After everyone greeted and sat down, Jiang Hua'an also put away some of his scattered thoughts and said straight to the point: "I think everyone has heard the important news that Consultant Yang brought us just now. Do you have any thoughts?"

Su Yuanfeng, who was sitting directly opposite Jiang Hua'an, did not answer this question, but asked in a familiar manner: "What did Fellow Daoist Ji from the Golden Knife Sect say?"

Jiang Hua'an obviously knew what he wanted to ask Su Yuanfeng, and replied succinctly: "I have just communicated with fellow Daoist Ji. No one expected that Liu Hanxing secretly sent so many formation masters into Haiya City, and They also obtained some internal information from our archives, so they calculated it intentionally or unintentionally. Ji Daoyou said that based on his ability alone, there is nothing he can do now. "

Su Yuanfeng suddenly frowned and said: "Isn't Ji Zhanqun the second-ranked formation master of the Golden Sword Sect? His formation skills are second only to Zeng Zhiquan, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect? Why can't he even defeat the formation masters of the Wuliang Sword Sect now? What do you think... …Is this guy afraid of offending the Wuliang Sword Sect, so he deliberately makes excuses to evade it?”

Jiang Hua'an shook his head and said: "Don't forget, the Ji family of Qinglan City has signed a reciprocal agreement with us. If Ji Zhanqun dares to work without contributing and violates the principles of the agreement, his lifetime accumulation of merit will be completely ruined. As the head of the Ji family with the best spiritual qualifications in hundreds of years, he also has a good accumulation of merits, and he is not ready to die!"

Han Xinhe also nodded and agreed: "I think what Ji Daoyou said is true. After all, Wuliang Sword Sect suddenly activated the city closure order. It was obviously premeditated to catch us off guard. In addition, Liu Hanxing has the entire formation there. The team provides technical support and it’s really hard for him to do anything.”

After Yang Lu and Han Xinhe formally formed an alliance, they had already heard about the existence of the reciprocal agreement.

Now it seems that just like Liu Hanxing invited Qiu Bufeng as his formation consultant, Ji Zhanqun, the formation master from the Golden Blade Sect, should be the helper hired by the Haiya Clan through the reciprocal agreement.

It's just that the blockade of the Wuliang Sword Sect came too suddenly, and the materials needed to set up the formation were all kinds of strange. Even if Ji Zhanqun's formation level was as good as Qiu Bufeng's, it would be difficult to get all the materials needed to set up the formation. Make a difference.

Not only had Qiu Bufeng prepared the formation materials long ago, he could also continuously obtain supplements through Liu Hanxing's channels. This was the effect of Liu Hanxing's surprise attack.

From this point, it can be seen that the Wuliang Sword Sect made a good move in supporting Tianshu City to become the cultivation resource trade center in the southeastern part of Zhongzhou. This resulted in Haiya City having a huge trade throughput, but most of the goods were The accumulation of ores, mortal supplies, and other cultivation resources covering a huge area are far less abundant than Tianshu City under the rule of the Shanying Sect.

No matter how high Ji Zhan's group formation skills were, facing such a situation, it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Hearing what Jiang Hua'an said, Su Yuanfeng also rubbed his temples with a headache: "Now we have a lot of reciprocal agreements in our hands, but Liu Hanxing suddenly cut off the internal and external connections of Haiya City, resulting in us not being able to play any good cards. , if he really finds our archives in the past few days, things will be in trouble..."

Han Xinhe quickly asked: "Have our external allies taken action now?"

Su Yuanfeng nodded and said: "I have arranged this in advance. As long as there is any trouble here in Haiya City, our allies will take action immediately. Now that Haiya City has been blocked, our allies also have a reasonable excuse. With the strike and shutdown, the entire commercial supply chain in Zhongzhou should have been completely paralyzed by us!"

Han Xinhe immediately cheered up and said: "In this case, the blockade order issued by Lin Jianxing will definitely not last long."

However, Jiang Hua'an still shook his head and said: "I'm just worried that something will go wrong in the next two days! Liu Hanxing is willing to pay such a huge political bargaining chip to deal with us this time. I'm afraid he has a lot of confidence!"

Hearing this, Su Yuanfeng slapped the table on the spot and said: "If you ask me, we should have intercepted Ye Chen at all costs at the beginning. Now, this kid has entered Haiya City. What should we do now? Who is it? Can we go to Liu Hanxing’s lair and kill him?”

Seeing Su Yuanfeng's unabashedly cruel speech, Yang Lu couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Your speech is too villainous!

Obviously everyone is fighting for interests, but Su Yuanfeng always says this classic villain quotation, as if Ye Chen is the protagonist.

I remember that during the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, Su Yuanfeng kept putting the flag of the villain boss on himself, but Ye Chen overturned it, and now he has said such cruel words. If it were placed in an ordinary cool article, you would have already How about losing?

After Jiang Hua'an heard Su Yuanfeng's remarks, he couldn't help but sneer: "Intercept Ye Chen halfway? Why do you intercept him?"

Su Yuanfeng knocked on the table heavily and said: "Over the years, I don't know how many cultivation families and local sects have signed reciprocal agreements with our Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Isn't it difficult for us to find seven or eight golden elixir-level monks? With so many people rushing forward, he Liu will Can Han Xing be able to stop it?"

At the end of the sentence, the accusation in Su Yuanfeng's tone was very obvious, because it was Jiang Hua'an who suggested that Ye Chen be put into Haiya City to be locked up and beaten with dogs. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Chen entered Haiya City, Liu Hanxing promulgated the seal at all costs. City order.

This also made the Haiya Department-led strategy of beating dogs behind closed doors instantly turn into Liu Hanxing-led strategy of catching turtles in an urn.

At this time, Su Yuanfeng's aggressive tone seemed to be discussing the matter, but in fact he was accusing Jiang Hua'an of misjudging the situation. Even Han Xinhe's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

But Jiang Huanan's expression did not change at all. Instead, he asked nonchalantly, "Liu Hanxing can't stop seven or eight late Jindan cultivators, but do you think Qiu Longbo can stop them?"

When this was said, everyone looked at him sideways.

Han Xinhe's expression changed for a while, and he said in shock, "According to the news from Wuliang Sword Sect, Qiu Longbo has already been in seclusion to practice? What you mean is... Qiu Longbo's seclusion is just a trick. They made a big fuss and asked Ye Chen to come to Haiya City. They planned to use Ye Chen as bait to catch all our helpers in one fell swoop?"

Han Xinhe's exclamation was considered to be the voice of everyone.

If this information is true, it means that behind Ye Chen's trip, it is simply a fishing enforcement by the Law Enforcement Hall.

As Yang Lu had already seen, the behavior of Jiuzhou Tiandao is very similar to artificial intelligence. Even if it has not reached the level of the so-called "strong artificial intelligence" of Earth civilization, it is also a very complex collection of rules.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that Jiuzhou Tiandao can make very complex moral judgments.

For example, the Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao has a rule that as long as it is a malicious attack, the attacker's merit will be deducted. The merits deducted from a high-level cultivator attacking a low-level cultivator will be even greater, while the merits deducted from a low-level cultivator attacking a high-level cultivator will be discounted. Therefore, sending a Jindan-stage master to kill Ye Chen will undoubtedly cause the high-level cultivator who took action to lose a lot of merit. In other words, the Haiya system has a large number of reciprocal agreements that cannot be replicated, so that they can easily control them.

If the Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao is a very rigid rule system, the Yuanying-stage cultivator Qiu Longbo should theoretically deduct a lot of Heavenly Dao merits when he attacks a Jindan-stage cultivator.

But this is not the case.

The Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao also has a unique "self-defense counterattack" principle.

According to this "self-defense counterattack" principle, if one party is first attacked maliciously by the other party, the "attacker" who launched the attack will temporarily lose the protection of the Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao, and during the battle, if the attacker suffers casualties, the "self-defense party" who caused the damage does not even need to bear any causal karma.

The Nine Provinces Heavenly Dao has a very strong subjective initiative in judging "self-defense" and "malicious attack", and strictly abides by the principle of substance over form.

This gives great room for the operation of fishing enforcement.

For example, if the Haiya system sends a Jindan stage master to assassinate Ye Chen, not only will the person who directly attacks be considered a malicious attack, but those cultivators who assist in the vigilance will also be considered as malicious attacks, and anyone who protects Ye Chen, regardless of their level of cultivation, will be judged as the self-defense party!
