The Fourth Financial Crisis

Facing the protests of hundreds of people, Yuntianhua's pressure was much lessened. He took a deep breath and announced again in a rare tough tone: "There is no cash in the Lingshi Reserve Bank's account. You can follow me." There's no point in making a fuss, and it's not like we won't pay back the money, we're just paying it in installments!"

This unceremonious speech was not so much an attempt to calm the situation as a blatant provocation. It was completely arrogant with the attitude of "What can you do to me if I don't pay back the money?", coupled with the recent appearance of Yuntianhua The Six-Path Sword Escape Technique, which can only be used by the Golden Core Dzogchen Realm, was deliberately displayed during the body. It was clear that he wanted to use force to force the remaining creditors to agree to his conditions.

You know, when Yuntianhua faced tens of thousands of creditors just now, he was always polite and courteous. Unexpectedly, now that there are only a few hundred creditors left, this person's face suddenly changed.

Everyone thought that Yuntianhua was a good old man, but they didn't expect that he would act like a rogue and turn out to have such an ugly capitalist face.

The big creditors who were originally left at the end have been left waiting in line for several days. As a result, they could only watch helplessly as their allies were divided and disintegrated, and when it was their turn, they came up empty-handed. Not only did Yuntianhua not come out to calm the mood, but he showed off his force and added fuel to the fire.

This caused the mentality of many creditors to completely collapse on the spot.

Soon someone came out of the crowd and yelled, "Yuntianhua, do you think you can do whatever you want with your high cultivation?"

However, Yuntianhua just spread his hands and said with a smile: "Sorry, in the Jiuzhou cultivation world, a high level of cultivation means that you can do whatever you want! The highest level for you is the foundation-building Dzogchen realm. You really think that our Lingshi Reserve Bank is your home martial arts arena. ?"

"Shameless! Extremely shameless!"

"Yuntianhua, you must die a happy death!"

"This is a complete scam and we don't accept it!"

"Thief, if you don't lose money today, we will dismantle your spiritual stone reserve bank!"

"The Lingshi Reserve Bank has already studied and decided. You can only accept it, otherwise don't blame-" However, before he could finish his words, Yuntianhua was interrupted by the angry crowd.

I don't know which unlucky guy got so angry that he actually took advantage of Yuntianhua's strong stance and threw a fireball directly at him. Yuntianhua seemed to be too focused on talking, not only did he not cast a spell in time to resist, but he even failed to protect his body. Before the Gang Qi could activate, he was hit head-on by this fireball!

The president of Lingshi Reserve Bank was assassinated!

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Yuntianhua, who was hit by the fireball, felt a violent surge of protective energy all over his body. It seemed that he had suffered a serious backlash from mana. Then he spit out a mouthful of blood and his body staggered and fell. On the side.

After seeing this, everyone present was shocked.

Even the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect who were watching the excitement from a distance were shocked and said, "Who the hell did this? I asked you to send people to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, but I didn't ask you to assassinate Yuntianhua in public!"

When the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Have all my people been arrested by the Lingshi Reserve Bank?"

"I didn't give such an order either?"

"What do you think I'm doing? I didn't arrange this assassin!"

"Do you think this was not done by our people, but that someone was unhappy with Yuntianhua and was made angry by him?"

"I don't think the fireball is that powerful? Is Yuntianhua actually that weak? If Yuntianhua is seriously injured by a foundation-building monk, it would be a big joke!"

…

Just as the masters of the Wuliang Sword Sect were discussing, Yang Lu and Wang Ziwei, who were standing behind Yuntianhua, immediately shouted: "Someone is assassinating President Yuntianhua! Subdue these thugs immediately!"

"Catch these thugs! No one can let go!"

Seeing Yuntianhua being knocked down by a fireball that came out of nowhere, the cultivators protesting at the scene were also stunned.

In fact, what the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect just guessed were right. This attack on Yuntianhua was really not arranged by them. It was simply that someone was very unhappy after seeing Yuntianhua's tough speech and was ready to give Yuntianhua some color.

They felt that Yuntianhua was a master of the late Jindan period, and he had just demonstrated the extremely cool Six-Path Sword Technique. He was obviously deliberately demonstrating against them, so someone threw a fireball in an attempt to vent their anger.

But who would have thought that this ordinary fireball would seriously injure Yuntianhua!

No one doubted that Yuntianhua was acting. After all, Yuntianhua even vomited out his own essence and blood. Such an injury could not be performed at all.

If not handled properly, the foundation of his cultivation will be affected.

Following the orders from Wang Ziwei and Yang Lu, hundreds of foundation-building monks flew out of the Lingshi Reserve Bank headquarters. This was also the entire staff of the Lingshi Reserve Bank staying at the headquarters.

These foundation-building monks from the direct lineage of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, together with more than a dozen Golden Core masters who were watching eagerly from outside, quickly surrounded the protesting cultivators. Then, with Wang Ziwei's vicious wave of his hand, these people lined up to protest. The cultivators gathered around.

"These troublemakers are so crazy that they dare to murder the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank. Catch them!"

"You must never let a thug escape!"

Although the number of cultivators who gathered to make trouble was large, 30% of them were Qi Refining Stage monks, and there were only more than 300 Foundation Establishment Stage monks, and all of them were "focused on" by the Golden Core Stage masters of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, while the rest The protesters in the Qi refining stage had almost no power to fight back in front of the staff of the Lingshi Reserve Bank.

If it were suppressed only by force of cultivators, the Lingshi Reserve Bank might not be able to calm down the situation quickly. After all, the number of golden elixir masters in the Lingshi Reserve Bank is not very large. However, the Lingshi Reserve Bank also has the strongest array master in Zhongzhou as its trump card. .

At the same time that Wang Ziwei ordered action, Zeng Zhiquan, the head of the Golden Knife Sect, threw a set of formation flags into the sky. After the set of formation flags fell into place, a mysterious array appeared out of thin air in the Wuliang Mountains. Releases an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

This sense of oppression seems to directly act on the level of spiritual consciousness. All cultivators covered by the formation have problems with the movement of spiritual energy in their bodies. It is as if there is a delay in the control of spiritual energy by spiritual consciousness, and they often lose their consciousness. Once you think about it, it will take a few seconds for the spiritual energy in your body to react.

Although this delay is not long, cultivators all have their own spell-casting habits. It is like if someone who is used to using a 5G mobile phone returns to a 2G mobile phone, there will inevitably be huge discomfort.

In order to prevent misuse of the magic power in their bodies, the cultivators controlled by the formation seemed to be in slow motion. Everyone seemed to be constipated. They couldn't hold back a spell for a long time, and there were even some unlucky ones. He wanted to escape, but due to a mistake in mobilizing the magic power in his body, he fell directly from the air.

Although the staff of the Lingshi Reserve Bank were also within the control range of the formation, a faint fluorescence appeared on their bodies and their actions were not affected. It was obvious that they had all been registered by Zeng Zhiquan's formation in advance. own people.

Yang Lu has only been in the world of cultivation for three years and has been fully prepared. The only time he saw the formation master take action was when he watched the deadly fight between the monks from Baihe Tower and the monks from Dongshan Ju on the battlefield outside the territory. This was the first time he saw the Jindan stage. The formation master took action personally.

After seeing the astonishing effect of Zeng Zhiquan's action, Yang Lu finally understood the essential difference between the formation master and the formation:

Formations can only exert specific power in specific locations and are easily targeted by cultivators. However, formation masters can choose the most appropriate formations to respond to the enemy based on the actual situation on site, and can even change formations on the spot to deal with various emergencies.

The two are not on the same level at all.

For example, the formation used by Zeng Zhiquan is actually not very powerful. It only delays everyone's consciousness for a few seconds, and it has no lethality in itself.

Even if the opponent was prepared and shot down his formation flag in advance, or flew out of the formation's control before the formation flag was in place, Zeng Zhiquan's formation would be in vain.

However, when the protesters failed to respond effectively, Zeng Zhiquan's formation actually had a large-scale control effect, firmly controlling thousands of troublemakers in place.

Even if the ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage comes to the scene in person, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve this effect. It is not difficult for the ancestor of the Nascent Soul to kill all these thousands of people, but if you want to control all these people instantly like Zeng Zhiquan, , I’m afraid not everyone can do it.

Being attacked by the formation and the staff of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, the scene of the trouble suddenly turned upside down.

"You... what on earth do you want to do? It's really not President Yun who I attacked just now!"

"Every wrongdoer has his own debtor. We are protesting peacefully. If you beat people like this, is there any justice left?"

"Stop fighting, stop fighting. I don't want the money, why don't I?"

…

The golden elixir was used to build the foundation, and the foundation was used to refine the energy. The battle soon became one-sided. Even if someone tried to escape with the debuff of the formation, they would soon be defeated by the masters of the spiritual stone reserve bank who were well prepared. He raised his hand and cast a spell to shoot it down.

After just a few minutes, the nearly a thousand troublemakers at the scene were all sealed by the Lingshi Reserve Bank staff's Dantian Qihai, and they were firmly controlled in place.

Upon seeing this, Wang Ziwei waved his hand again and said: "Lock up these people and interrogate them strictly!"

Seeing that nearly a thousand protesters were all arrested by the Lingshi Reserve Bank, the masters of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect who were watching could not sit still.

Immediately, a master of the Golden Core stage came with the escape light and stopped him: "Assistant Wang, what is the Lingshi Reserve Bank doing? Are you actually going to fight in our Wuliang Mountains?"

The golden elixir master who came to break up the fight was none other than Tan Sijun, an old acquaintance from Haiya City.

Seeing Tan Sijun suddenly jumping out of nowhere and pretending to be a good guy, Wang Ziwei just sneered in his heart:

For so many days before, this group of protesters gathered to besiege the headquarters of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. You, the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect, all pretended to be deaf and dumb. But now that you have just arrested all the troublemakers, you, Tan Sijun, have become The Peace Envoy came to mediate and didn't even care about Yuntianhua's physical condition...

This is simply Sima Zhao’s intention, and everyone on the street knows it!

So Wang Ziwei signaled the staff of the Lingshi Reserve Bank to continue arresting people, and at the same time responded sternly: "Elder Tan's words are wrong. These madmen dare to openly assassinate the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. We must arrest them." After interrogation, the madman who stabbed President Yun must be brought to justice!"

"You can definitely hand the person over to our law enforcement agency——"

Tan Sijun was about to continue questioning, but before he finished speaking, he saw the pale Yuntianhua walking over with the support of Yang Lu.

Noticing Tan Sijun's inquiring gaze, Yuntianhua said in a weak tone: "Elder Tan, it is inevitable for my subordinates to take drastic actions when they saw me suddenly being assassinated. Since we have all caught them, all the merits that should be deducted will be deducted. It’s over, it’s not appropriate to continue transferring the prisoners to you! After all, Lingshi Reserve Bank is jointly run by seven major sects. It would be inappropriate to hand over cases involving Lingshi Reserve Bank to any of the seven major sects... …”

Although Yuntianhua's tone was weak, his speech had an unquestionable flavor.

Although Tan Sijun felt that Yuntianhua was playing a cruel trick, since the lunatics at Lingshi Reserve Bank would rather deduct their own merits and arrest all these hundreds of protesters, they obviously had no intention of letting them go easily.

And theoretically speaking, the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect does not have the power to control the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Unless Tan Sijun is willing to lead people to fight against the Lingshi Reserve Bank again, he does not have the ability to ask Yuntianhua to release people.

After a moment of silence, Tan Sijun could only snort and said: "Then please take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Tan Sijun didn't even express condolences to Xia Yuntianhua's injury, and drove away with the light in his sleeves.

Seeing Tan Sijun go away, and the protesting cultivators were all locked up in the confinement room of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, Yuntianhua breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the monks from the Lingshi Reserve Bank who were surrounding him and asked: " You...should not have had your merit deducted!"

Yang Lu and Wang Ziwei immediately confirmed: "Probably not!"

The Lingshi Reserve Bank cultivators who were responsible for arresting people also said that they found no signs of damage to their merits.

Yuntianhua closed his eyes and nodded: "It seems that the method Li Xingchang left before his death is correct. There are indeed no loopholes in the way of heaven in Kyushu, but this loophole is not good... ahem -!"

Before Yuntianhua could finish speaking, he coughed violently.

Wang Ziwei quickly stepped forward and asked: "President Yun, your physical condition..."

Yuntianhua waved his hand, indicating that he was fine: "Don't worry! The mere foundation-building spell won't do anything to me. I just temporarily removed my body-protecting energy. According to Mr. Li, if I'm not injured enough, Seriously, maybe Jiuzhou Tiandao will not judge your behavior as self-defense and counterattack."
