The Fourth Financial Crisis

After leaving the Mountain Eagle Sect headquarters, Yang Lu made a special trip to the Tianshu City Branch of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to inspect the property damage caused by the beast disaster.

Tianshu City is famous for its developed paper industry. Due to the relatively low unit price of paper products and the difficulty of storing them, the Tianshu City branch usually does not keep much inventory, so the overall loss is only a few thousand spiritual stone coins.

Compared with Yang Lu's gains from the animal disaster, this part of the loss is completely worth mentioning.

Despite this, in order to avoid suspicion, Yang Lu certainly did not dare to sell off those priceless demon pills in Tianshu City, so he only selected a few demon pills of good quality and exchanged them for more than 40,000 yuan of spirit stone coins.

After making up for the losses of the Tianshu City branch, and counting the windfall he had defrauded from Liu Hanxing and Zhu Ziming, Yang Lu came to Tianshu City with 100,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins, and another 100,000 yuan. Lingshi coins left Tianshu City.

Whether it is a large number of cultivation resources including the Surge Sword, or dozens of demon pills worth no less than 200,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins, they are all equivalent to picking up for free. It is not an exaggeration to say that this business is a profitable one!

After doing the aftermath work, Yang Lu packed his bags the next day and set off back to Haiya City with Chen Ping.

Since Yang Lu was still far away from breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining, he still had to rely on his divine walking skills to travel on foot.

It took another four days and four nights to return to Haiya City this time. Fortunately, Yang Lu was able to practice in his dream and did not delay his practice. While the two were hurrying on their way, Haiya City The situation has changed dramatically.

Unlike Yang Lu, who has to walk on foot, Su Yuanfeng, the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, as a monk who has established the Dzogchen Realm, can use the power of escape light to travel between Tianshu and Haiya in just half an hour. . On the day Yang Lu set out to return, Su Yuanfeng had already arrived at Haiya City.

In order to deal with Yang Lu's request as soon as possible and draw a clear line with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he immediately came to the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and began to investigate the small actions of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce within the Haiya system.

As the leader of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, Su Yuanfeng quickly obtained the details of the recent import and export materials of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce.

Since the Immortality Conference in Haiya City had just ended, the long-backlogged sea trade activities had exploded, and the average daily throughput of the entire Haiya City port had even reached several times that of normal periods.

Fortunately, Su Yuanfeng had a clear goal and quickly locked in all the transactions that the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce participated in.

In the past month or so, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has completed three export orders and one import order through the Haiya Chamber of Commerce fleet.

According to Su Yuanfeng's judgment, since the fugitives from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce need to flee overseas, they must leave with the export fleet, either mixed with the crew or mixed with the cargo.

Among these three export shipments, two were sent to Jiading Port, the largest port in Borneo.

Borneo is the farthest continent from Zhongzhou. Although the ocean-going fleets of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce are blessed by civilian immortal formations and can sail much faster than ordinary mortal merchant ships, it still takes nearly two years to reach Jiading Port in Borneo.

Most of the mortal exiles in Zhongzhou would not choose this ultra-long-distance route.

Because the uncertainty caused by such a long voyage is too great, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce only needs to remotely send a message to the Immortal Master of the Haiya Sect who is responsible for leading the fleet, and can seize the fugitives at any time.

After using communication spells to communicate with the guardian immortals of the two fleets and ordering them to carefully investigate suspicious persons in the fleet, Su Yuanfeng did not continue to pursue this clue.

Because the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's third export shipment was destined for the famous fugitive paradise in the Kyushu cultivation world - the outlying island.

Haiya City is located in the southeast of Zhongzhou, and is also the port closest to the east in the entire Zhongzhou. The outlying island is located in the depths of the Eastern Ocean, more than 3,000 miles east of Haiya City. It is two full miles away from Donghuangzhou on the other side of the Eastern Ocean. More than ten thousand miles.

As the largest archipelago in the Eastern Ocean, the outlying islands and their affiliated islands are distributed in the Eastern Ocean with a radius of nearly two thousand miles. They are distributed in a long and narrow shape from east to west, and the total area is equivalent to a small continent.

But the most special thing about this island is the ancient killing array that hangs over it.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the demonic army invaded Kyushu, triggering a huge disaster known as the "First Crisis of Heaven."

Although the ancient immortals successfully repelled the demon army with the help of the supreme power of the ancient heaven, the boundary barrier between the demon world and the Kyushu cultivation world was broken, and the heaven of Kyushu was also eroded by the heaven of the demon world.

After that, there was a decades-long phenomenon of "deficiency in the way of heaven" in Kyushu.

During this special period, whether cultivators kill mortals or cultivators kill each other, their own merits will not be deducted. Therefore, the entire Jiuzhou cultivator society rapidly increased in entropy and became a purgatory-like existence.

A great monk who has been practicing for thousands of years may be wiped out just because of a fight; if a mortal says the wrong thing, the whole city may be destroyed by cultivators; even if you want to live in a corner, as long as others do not follow martial ethics, you will be the same It is also death; when violence becomes the highest value in society, the destruction of civilization is almost inevitable.

In order to prevent the complete destruction of the cultivation civilization, the most powerful ancient cultivators at that time used the most powerful magic weapon in the cultivation world to set up a super killing array [Wanli Yanbo Formation] in the current outlying island area.

Although the outlying islands occupy a vast area, the land is not suitable for farming and was almost uninhabited in ancient times.

After this set of thousands of miles of smoke formation was built, it could block the entry of all cultivators with spiritual roots. Several ancient great masters moved a large number of mortals without cultivation into the outlying island area, forming a paradise where only mortals could live.

The first Tiandao crisis lasted for decades. It was not until the influence of the Demon Realm Tiandao subsided and the Nine Provinces Tiandao returned to normal that the Nine Provinces cultivation civilization finally got rid of the crisis and began to rebuild civilization among the ruins of the war.

Since the Great Formation of Thousand Miles of Smoke and Waves was personally arranged by the surviving immortals of the ancient heaven, it was simply not something that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators could break. Therefore, the outlying islands, as a country ruled by mortals, have been preserved from ancient times to the present.

For tens of thousands of years, all mortals who have offended cultivators will use offshore islands as their first choice of escape destination.

With the influx of a large number of fugitives from the cultivation world, the outlying islands have also formed a xenophobic social atmosphere that is extremely disgusted with cultivators. However, the local agriculture on the outlying islands is poor and requires continuous import of food from the outside world, so it is impossible to be closed to the country forever. Therefore, the ocean-going maritime merchants represented by the Haiya Chamber of Commerce still maintain relatively friendly relations with the outlying islands.

Zhongzhou is the mainland closest to the outlying islands. It only takes six days to take an ocean-going merchant ship from Haiya City to Yanbo Island, the westernmost port of the outlying islands. Therefore, the outlying islands have become a paradise for mortal fugitives in Zhongzhou.

Did you see this group of people scheduled by the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce leaving in a hurry? After the fleet transported grain to the outlying islands, Su Yuanfeng was almost certain that the mine manager Ji Sihan must be in this fleet.

It's just that this fleet has arrived at the outlying island five days ago and is currently on its way back. Unless people are sent directly to the outlying island to arrest people, it will be too late.

Although the Haiya Chamber of Commerce has partners within the outlying islands, it is absolutely impossible to randomly send a large number of people to the outlying islands without permission. In the eyes of the xenophobic residents of the outlying islands, this is the same as starting a war, so Su Yuanfeng has no good solution.

He just informed the Qingning Chamber of Commerce about this situation, which was regarded as completing the agreement with Yang Lu.
