The Fourth Financial Crisis

The other team members saw Yang Lu suddenly set off a magic firework into the sky to scare the snake, and then their expressions suddenly darkened, and they had no idea what he was doing.

But Yang Lu didn't let them wait any longer.

Quickly calming down, he decisively ordered: "Everyone should follow the previous grouping, and move in groups of five. The four groups of A, B, C, and D will advance in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and southeast. They will take my place for me at a position a hundred miles away from here. Launch the same spell mark into the air. If someone dares to obstruct you on the way, the male monks will kill them on the spot, and the female monks must be captured alive. If you encounter a tough opponent, immediately send out a signal for help, and I will personally take the remaining people to support. , if you find other spell signals being launched into the air, don’t run to check the situation, send someone back to report the situation to me immediately!”

With Fu Hao's lessons learned, no one dared to ask him why he did these things.

Following Yang Lu's order, the entire team was very skillfully divided into four action groups according to the order in which they joined the team. Then the four groups of people shot off in four different directions. The whole process was strictly disciplined.

This kind of quasi-military cultivator group has never appeared in foreign battlefields, and it is rare even in the entire Kyushu cultivation world. After all, cultivators are all beings whose great power is attributed to themselves, and their individual combat abilities vary greatly, so there is no need to fight as a team.

After the four groups of people left, there were still five people who remained. These five people were all with relatively special identities in the team.

Yang Lu looked at the remaining people around him and continued to order: "Wu Neng, use all your strength to mobilize Pleiades, don't worry about the impact, and try to cover all targets within two hundred miles; Fu Hao, escape The speed of light is twice as fast as ordinary people, so I will continue to be responsible for supervising the actions of the four groups of members. If there is an emergency, report it to me immediately; Rong Sheng, Yang Chenglong, and Ye Chen, you three will be responsible for staying by my side. , if necessary, be ready for combat support at any time."

After everyone accepted the order, they started their own actions.

Since communication spells cannot be used in battlefields outside the territory, Fu Hao has been used as a messenger by Yang Lu for the past two days because of his fastest light escape speed. He has not been included in any hunting group. This time, he is still responsible for four action groups alone. liaison work.

As for Rong Sheng, Yang Chenglong, and Wu Neng, they are all the most senior members of the team and the most loyal subordinates under Yang Lu.

Wu Neng and Yang Chenglong's combat effectiveness is already stronger than that of ordinary late-stage Qi Refining monks. Although Rong Sheng's strength is somewhat reduced, the Golden Wheel of Merit makes up for his lack of combat effectiveness. The combined combat effectiveness of these three people is probably Better than any five-person action team.

Not only that, Yang Lu made an exception and allowed these three people to get back their own magic weapons, allowing them to form the most powerful "gendarme team" to teach disobedient team members for himself and Ye Chen.

If using other people's natal magic weapons can only bring out about 70% of the original strength at most, then after getting back his own natal magic weapon, the cultivator can already exert 90% of his own strength, and has the ability to defect alone and launch backstabs. conditions of.

For this reason, Ye Chen frequently expressed his concerns to Yang Lu in private.

But Yang Lu was very disapproving of this, and facts proved that what Ye Chen was worried about did not happen.

Just like the guys who treated the black slaves the most harshly on the plantations were often not the white slave owners, but the high-ranking black people who were given the status of "higher slaves" by the white slave owners.

After these three old losers got their magic weapon back and obtained the special status of "Team Military Police" and "Advisor Yang's Guards", they seemed to have become the masters of the team. They looked at other team members with a superior look. It feels like he not only supports the team and the collective more, but even physically punishes the team members, even more harshly than Ye Chen. It seems that he is afraid that if he is not harsh enough, he will not be able to show his infinite loyalty to Consultant Yang.

If anyone wants to undermine the unity of the team from within, Yang Lu doesn't even have to ask, these three old losers will be the first to refuse!

The domineering actions of these three gendarmerie members also successfully diverted the hatred from Yang Lu. Many times when Yang Lu instructed these three people to educate disobedient dissidents, it was obviously Yang Lu who made the decision, but everyone did not I think Consultant Yang’s intentions were good, but these three people just made Yang Lu’s decision-making more difficult!

These three people and Ye Chen now form the strongest mobile support force and reserve team of Yang Lu's team.

Since the team members cooperated very well, the cultivators also moved very quickly. After waiting for about ten minutes, all four action groups arrived at the predetermined location.

Then Yang Lu saw huge spell marks rising in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

This dense optical signal can be seen by all monks within a radius of hundreds of miles. As long as Li Qingning is within a distance of 300 miles, a response should be given soon.

Just as Yang Lu was anxiously waiting for the result, he saw a blue escaping light coming from him.

Before Yang Lu could speak, Fu Hao's voice came from the escape light: "Counsellor Yang, a strange signal was raised about two hundred miles due north. I am very sure that it is not our own. Signals sent by humans!”

Yang Lu grabbed Fu Hao's collar and said, "What signal? Is it some private spell mark?"

"That's definitely not a magic mark!" The first half of Fu Hao's words made Yang Lu's heart suddenly freeze, but the second half of his words suddenly took a turn, "If I read it correctly, the signal only has six words. ...Go away quickly, don’t come over!”

Come on, don't come over?

This is not the agreed upon secret code!

Yang Lu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood something.

At the same time, Wu Neng, who was controlling Pleiades, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Yes, two hundred miles due north, a very powerful spiritual energy wave broke out... This spiritual energy wave was even twenty more than ours. All of us are stronger together!"

Yang Lu said in a serious tone: "Fu Hao, call all the action teams back to me immediately and tell them that the war is about to begin! Anyone who dares to delay will be shot to death!"

…

On the other side, Li Qingning was located nearly two hundred miles north of the meeting point. Compared to a few hours ago, she was covered in blood, dragging a sword that was longer than her height with one hand, looking tired in the forest. Travel between.

As the blood groove of the sword slashed across the ground, a shallow blood mark was left on the ground.

Li Qingning didn't know how many waves of invading enemies she had repelled. She only knew that at least five or six people died under her sword, and even added a brilliant golden wheel of merit behind her.

Fortunately, these sneak attackers fought independently, and it was rare for multiple people to take action at the same time. Otherwise, Li Qingning's spiritual energy would have been greatly damaged long ago, and he would have been dead.

Even so, Li Qingning's left hand was completely numb. It was obvious that he had suffered serious trauma, and he could only use his right hand to drag the knife forward.

However, Li Qingning's bloody battle was not without effect.

She has proven through her own strong strength that without external intervention, unless a master of the direct descendant level of the seven major sects takes the lead in the attack, it will not only be difficult for cultivators with weaker strength to get advantage from Li Qingning if they rush forward rashly, Maybe other guys with ulterior motives will take advantage of it.

This made the monks lurking nearby become more cautious when taking action.

As time went by, the situation gradually began to develop in a direction that was beneficial to Li Qingning.

In fact, due to the large number of cultivators lurking nearby and trying to sneak attack Li Qingning, these guys with different motives have already had several rounds of internal strife among themselves. There are at least four or five unlucky cultivators who have not yet touched Li Qingning's body. He was killed first by other colleagues who came to assassinate Li Qingning.

On the battlefield outside the territory, it is really difficult for strange cultivators to work together even if they have a common goal!

In addition to the four or five monks who were poisoned by their colleagues, there were also some less courageous monks who had gradually sensed the malice from other lurkers and chose to retreat in spite of the difficulties. After all, although the reward for killing Li Qingning is rich and can even make an ordinary monk in the Qi Refining Stage ascend to heaven in one step, the prerequisite is that he must have life to spend it!

Seeing the ugly appearance of the cultivator ambushing beside Li Qingning, Liu Xiahui, the direct master of Wanhua Valley, also showed an expression of hatred for iron.

If everyone could work together to attack and kill them, even if four or five Li Qingning were tied up, they would be furious on the spot. However, with everyone restraining each other, this hunting activity became a joke.

After waiting for most of the day, the number of cultivators lurking around Li Qingning not only did not increase, but actually decreased by a few!

The only consolation is that the cultivators who currently dare to lurk nearby are all highly skilled and courageous people. Although the total number of people is slightly smaller, the average combat effectiveness should still be improved.

However, if the situation continues to deteriorate according to this trend, the siege on Li Qingning may end up without a solution due to serious internal strife.

Despite this, the direct descendant of Wanhua Valley still had no intention of taking action.

Unlike the other soldiers and crab generals who besieged Li Qingning, several direct masters of the seven major sects, including Liu Xiahui, were direct disciples of the Yuan Ying Ancestor who had a bitter feud with Li Qingyang. Although the level of mutual trust between these people was also very suspicious, At least it was much stronger than the other improvised mobs. Considering that Li Qingning's condition had declined significantly, as long as three people were able to attack at the same time, Liu Xiahui would be absolutely sure to take the opponent's life.

In a lawless foreign battlefield, coordinating more than twenty guys with ulterior motives to attack at the same time is simply an impossible task, but coordinating two or three guys with the most basic mutual trust to attack at the same time is still very feasible.

Before the arrival of several other core masters, Liu Xiahui could sit back and watch the other mobs consume Li Qingning's strength. It would not be too late to launch a fatal blow to the opponent after gathering three top masters.

But plans can never keep up with changes.

Liu Xiahui waited and waited. After seven or eight hours, only Ai Wen, a direct master of the Shenhuo Sect, arrived. There were still several masters who had been agreed in advance and were still missing. It was unknown what had delayed them. .

In particular, Xia Wu, a disciple of Lu Youde, the supreme elder of the Shenhuo Sect, and Zhang Qian, the leader of the Yufeng Sect, are the most strange.

Xia Wu and Ai Wen also completed the transmission from the Fire Cloud State Teleportation Array. The transmission location was not far from Li Qingning's location. However, the latter had already arrived for seven or eight hours, but the former still had not arrived. As for Zhang Qian, the leader of Yufeng Sect, he is famous for his superior light-escape speed. His progress on the journey should be more than twice that of other masters, but he also failed to make it in time.

Despite this, Liu Xiahui and Ai Wen decided to continue waiting. After all, several Nascent Soul Ancestors who had a bitter feud with Li Qingyang arranged for seven or eight direct disciples to come and assassinate Li Qingning. It is impossible for the other direct disciples to all fall apart halfway!

A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. As long as one more person arrives, they will be fully confident to take action.

Just as the two of them were waiting patiently, they saw a huge magic mark suddenly rise in the southern sky. Even through the hazy red mist, everyone could barely see its outline.

What the hell is this?

Before the unscrupulous gangsters lurking nearby realized what was happening, they saw Li Qingning wiping the blood on her pretty face, showing an excited look that she hadn't seen in a long time.

She seemed to want to raise her hand to do something, but hesitated slightly, but she quickly seemed to have made a decision, and then immediately launched another huge spell signal into the sky!

"Come on, don't come over...what does this mean?"

Seeing this clueless signal, Liu Xiahui was completely confused this time.

If Li Qingning planned to muddy the water and attract people to come and disrupt the situation, then she should have done so long ago. Why did she have to wait until her condition seriously declined before she started trying to fish in troubled waters?

Is this a signal for help?

But who would come to save her on the battlefield outside the territory?

Even if Li Qingning's appearance brings disaster to the country and the people, you won't let everyone fight for you when they see your face!

But no matter what, after this signal is sent out, it will inevitably attract many unrelated people.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiahui knew that he could no longer hesitate, so he immediately waved his hand to Ai Wen in the distance and shouted with a lion's roar: "Li Qingning has reached the end of her skills. Let's all join together. We must not let her fish in troubled waters!"

If Liu Xiahui had just said that, no one would have paid any attention to him.

After all, dead Taoist friends are not dead Taoists. Everyone comes to the battlefield outside the territory to make a living. Why should we listen to your command?

However, Li Qingning's act of launching a spell signal into the sky completely broke the fragile balance of the game and made all the besiegers realize that if everyone did not take action, unexpected changes might occur.

So the besiegers who were originally watching each other launched an attack on Li Qingning almost at the same time. In an instant, at least a dozen natal magic weapons shining with various auras swept towards the direction of Li Qingning.

Seeing a dozen powerful auras suddenly burst out, Li Qingning couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

The reason why she chose to hurry up was to carefully maintain the balance of the game between the prey and the hunters, so that the hunters would feel that if she continued like this, she would only become weaker and weaker, and only in this way could she gain more points for herself. Time slowly wears down these people.

In this way, although the chance of survival is still very slim, it is also her only chance of survival at the moment.

However, he never expected that Yang Lu would actually be on the battlefield outside the territory, looking for her in such a way that directly revealed his location!

She knew Yang Lu's strength very well. If he was protected by herself, his position would be exposed, but now that he couldn't protect himself, he was acting so arrogantly, which was simply drawing fire to him.

As a last resort, she could only send out a signal to let Yang Lu escape for his own life. He must not die looking for her.

However, her action of firing the magic mark aroused the most sensitive nerves of the hunters around her, making everyone eager to take her life!
