The Fourth Financial Crisis

Li Feiyu had no good way to deal with the blatant and troublesome behavior of the Arctic Cold Palace monks.

After all, the Arctic Cold Palace itself is a qualified participating organization. Mu Sen took the invitation letter from the Arctic Cold Palace to participate. In principle, there is no problem. His willingness to give up the submission quota of the Infinite Sword Sect is also his personal freedom.

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect has no way of punishing Arctic Han Palace for deliberately causing trouble, after this abstention incident, the Arctic Han Palace owes the Wuliang Sword Sect a favor. In the future, the senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect want to do things to the Arctic Han Palace. , which can be regarded as a reason.

However, Mouson's abstention triggered a chain reaction.

After seeing Musen voluntarily choosing to abstain, the eyes of Chen Ming, the leader of the Mountain Eagle Sect, instantly lit up.

Because according to the competition rules of the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, if any of the top eight players give up joining the Wuliang Sword Sect, then the players ranked ninth to sixteenth can choose one person to fill the spot.

The selection method for the loser group is no longer a knockout match, but a more efficient ring match. Just stand on the ring and defeat other challengers to get the vacant entry spot for the Infinite Sword Sect.

This kind of arena competition is completely a competition of hard power, and there is no chance of using the back door. At this moment, everyone with a discerning eye can see that only two of the eight candidates are truly capable of holding the ring——

Li Qingning from the Golden Blade Sect, and Ye Chen from the Mountain Eagle Sect!

No matter how you look at the other six related households, they don't look like the opponents of these two bad guys.

Since it was getting late, the loser group's arena match was scheduled for the next day. Yang Lu did not go back directly to his residence, but followed Li Qingning back to her resting place.

He didn't have any evil thoughts.

As Yang Lu told Li Qingning before, the outcome of the Zhongzhou Sword Competition was not determined by the fighting between the players in the ring, but by the big bosses behind the scenes who studied and decided below the ring.

Now that there is an extra spot in the loser group out of thin air, Li Qingning will definitely have distinguished guests visiting tonight. Yang Lu was worried that the eldest lady would not be able to suppress the situation, so he came over to defend her.

And things developed just as Yang Lu expected.

Before he and Miss Li could get their butts hot, someone took the initiative and knocked on Li Qingning's door.

After opening the door, Yang Lu saw Chen Ming, the head of the Mountain Eagle Sect who looked like a white-haired young man. He was holding a Mountain Eagle Sword with a smile on his face, and brought his troublesome disciple Ye Chen to visit him in person.

Regardless of whether Chen Ming was being hypocritical or not, the dignified Jindan monk personally visited the Qi refining monk, which definitely gave Yang Lu and Li Qingning a lot of face.

Although Chen Ming had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was here to visit an old friend, Ye Chen's face next to him was very gloomy. Rather than saying that he was here to visit an honored guest, it was better to say that he was here to attend Yang Lu's memorial service. Yes, even though Li Qingning sympathized with this unfortunate guy, she couldn't help but frown after seeing his unlucky expression.

But it was not difficult for Yang Lu to understand Ye Chen's thoughts.

After all, this guy is a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs. He just suffered so much injustice during the day, so it's strange that he looks good now.

Therefore, he seemed not to notice Ye Chen's expression, and greeted him warmly: "I didn't expect that it would be Master Chen who came to visit in person. The eldest lady and I were not prepared. Please don't be offended!"

Seeing that Yang Lu was so capable, and thinking that his subordinates were either stupid young people like Ye Chen or old-fashioned like Fei Fan, Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

Today's Mountain Eagle Sect is really depleted of talent. If the Mountain Eagle Sect had more capable generals like Yang Lu who could do things, why would he have to do everything himself as a great monk at the Golden Core Stage?

After getting rid of these random thoughts, he nodded to Yang Lu reservedly and said: "Counsel Yang, Miss Qingning, this incident happened suddenly. It is indeed our fault that we have taken the liberty to disturb you!"

After Li Qingning moved chairs for a few people to sit down, Yang Lu smiled and said: "Master Chen is here this time probably for tomorrow's arena competition! In fact, you don't have to make this trip in person. Even if you don’t mention the matter, we juniors will definitely help you handle it properly, so don’t worry!”

It's the same as helping others to do things, but different words give people different feelings.

For help seekers, the most embarrassing thing is often the first thing they say, especially when the elders ask the younger ones for help. Yang Lu took the initiative to bring up the topic, directly resolving Chen Ming's biggest embarrassment.

Chen Ming immediately showed a satisfied smile and said: "Of course I have nothing to worry about when Consultant Yang of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is doing things. I came here this time specifically to let Ye Chen communicate with young talents like you. If in the future Ye Chen Now that Chen can join the Wuliang Sword Sect, there are still many ways we can help each other, Ye Chen, don’t you think so?”

Ye Chen actually looked down on second-generation immortals like Li Qingning.

In his opinion, these second-generation immortals are nothing but good at reincarnation. Unlike him who relies solely on his own hard work, he looks down upon Yang Lu, a licking dog like the second-generation Xiu Xiu, even more.

Although before visiting, Chen Ming had already asked him to praise the two people in front of him. As a result, when he really faced the bad couple in front of him, he couldn't say the rainbow fart against his will.

Seeing that Chen Ming was about to get angry again, Yang Lu was still observant and came to the rescue in time: "Young Daoist Ye is firm in his Taoism. He can practice forbidden arts without losing himself. He can eliminate the elites of various factions with just a pair of iron fists. I have long admired him." Got it!"

Ye Chen forced a smile on his lips, which was a response to Yang Lu's compliment.

Yang Lu witnessed the whole process of the day's game with his own eyes, and naturally knew exactly where Ye Chen's pain points were. In line with the principle of saying good things without asking for money, Yang Lu continued to boast: "What I said is absolutely true. Anyone who is not a fool can understand how the other top 16 players won. Only Daoyou Ye relied on his own strength. , abruptly defeated the efforts of other Taoist friends for generations, this is an upright victory obtained by relying on true ability!"

These words touched Ye Chen's itch, and he couldn't help but said with hatred: "Young Taoist Fellow Yang is absolutely right. This Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference is full of shady scenes. If everyone speaks out like you, how can I Can’t make it to the quarterfinals?”

Hearing this, Li Qingning almost burst into laughter.

It's not good for you to say who is a just person. You have to say that Yang Lu is a just person. His junior brother Yang was clearly the biggest mastermind behind this sword discussion conference, but in Ye Chen's words, he became a righteous person who spoke out for justice. This is so magical!

Chen Ming also didn't want his disciple to continue to tell the truth and embarrass the Mountain Eagle Sect here.

He took out a token from his arms and handed it to Yang Lu, and introduced solemnly: "We will not let the Qingning Chamber of Commerce help in vain. This is the token of the elders of the Shanying Sect. The Qingning Chamber of Commerce is in Tianshu The city has a lot of business, as long as Consultant Yang leaves a magic imprint on this token, all the Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Mountain Eagle Sect will treat you as a junior when they see you."

Seeing this guest token, Yang Lu couldn't help but shrink his pupils:

Chen Ming is such a generous artist!

He had already expected that Chen Ming would definitely show some sincerity and would definitely not come empty-handed, but he did not expect that Chen Ming would actually bring out a token of the Mountain Eagle Sect of this level.
