The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 64
The three of them laughed and had already left the lively Pinghai Avenue.

Just walking casually through the streets and alleys, the surrounding traffic became less and less, and finally even the hustle and bustle of the commercial street gradually faded away. When the three of them came to a remote alley, the surroundings were completely quiet. Only Li Qingning and Murong's pleasant chatting and laughing sounded from time to time in the alley.

Yang Lu originally enjoyed this warm atmosphere very much, but the too quiet environment around him quickly caught his attention. He frowned slightly, and he looked at the deserted alleys passing by with some doubts.

"Murong, is there usually no one in this area?"

Hearing Yang Lu's initiative to ask questions, Murong quickly freed his little head from Li Qingning's towering chest, and replied seriously: "This area is the goods storage yard of the major chambers of commerce, the goods piles of Qingning chamber of commerce and Haiya chamber of commerce. The market is also not far away. There are usually few people here, and now that the ocean-going trade has been completely stopped, pedestrians will definitely be even rarer than usual."

However, Yang Lu shook his head lightly: "Now is the eve of the Immortal Ascension Conference, and Haiya City is full of immortal seekers from other places. The storage yard, how could the City Lord's Mansion just let it sit here so empty?"

After being reminded by Yang Lu, Murong also felt that something was wrong: "You are right, even if these cargo storage yards are temporarily idle, the major chambers of commerce should send people to guard them to prevent tramps from coming to steal. But we haven't seen anyone else for a long time... It's really strange!"

Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more mysterious, Li Qingning couldn't help but frowned and said, "There is no one there for some reason. Could it be the effect of illusion?"

Before Yang Lu had time to ask what illusion was, there was a sudden applause in the shadows on the side of the road.

Following the reputation, a masked man wearing a bamboo hat appeared out of nowhere: "I didn't intend to show up so soon, I didn't expect you to discover the existence of the phantom array so soon! But it's not a big problem, It is enough to bring you here."

When Li Qingning saw the man in the hat suddenly appearing, he immediately asked, "You are the one who set up the phantom array in this area?"

The man in the hat nodded and said, "That's right, this set of [Yujihong Sales Formation] was laid by me myself."

Li Qingning took a step forward calmly, protected Yang Lu and Murong behind him, and then continued to ask: "Who are you? What do you want to do to us?"

The man in the hat did not answer directly, but chanted a poem softly: "Listen to the wind on the tall building, the lotus mist wets the clouds. At the Yujihong sales office, the Minister of Foreign Affairs slams... I am also entrusted by someone to come here to handle errands That's all."

This poem obviously has a different meaning, Li Qingning's pupils shrank slightly: "Listen to Heyu Pavilion! You are actually a killer in Ting Heyu Pavilion!"

"Oh? You actually know Ting He Yu Ge's name?" Seeing Li Qingning revealing his identity, the man in the hat was obviously a little surprised.

After seeing through the other party's identity, Li Qingning's eyes became more vigilant: "Ordinary people don't know what Tinghe Yuge does, so don't I know? You are so brave, you dare to do something to me !"

However, the man in the hat lightly shook his head and said, "Our target is not you, but the man named Yang Lu behind you. I don't know what kind of relationship you two have with him, but I suggest that you better not get in the way Lotus Rain Pavilion is on a mission!"

Although Li Qingning doesn't show up in public often, he is definitely more famous than Yang Lu. Since the killer who listened to Heyu Pavilion knew Yang Lu's identity, there was no reason why he didn't know Li Qingning's real identity. This shows that the other party did not see through Li Qingning's superb skills. Instead of using the disguise technique, he treated her like an ordinary person!
Hearing that the killer wanted to take his own life by name, Yang Lu couldn't help feeling tense: after hiding in the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce for more than a month, he even almost forgot the cruelty of the cultivation society.

The essence of commercial competition in the cultivation world is actually a game between the cultivation forces behind the major chambers of commerce. Since the game is dominated by the practitioners, the elimination of the physical body is undoubtedly one of the potential competition strategies.I have made drastic reforms during this period, and I have offended countless vested interests. Now some people even try to hire killers to eradicate themselves!

Thinking of this, he immediately warned in a deep voice: "A cultivator who kills mortals will lose a lot of merit!"

However, listening to the lotus rain pavilion killer sneered: "So what? As long as the reward is high enough, it is worthwhile to deduct some merits!"

Yang Lu pointed to his head and asked, "What price did the person who hired you offer?"

Listening to the killer of Heyu Pavilion, he smiled and pointed out four fingers: "A total of 4 yuan of Lingshi coins!"

"It's really a big deal!"

"You are a consultant of Qingning Chamber of Commerce, this price is not expensive!"

Seeing that the other party was determined to take his life, Yang Lu immediately turned his questioning gaze to Li Qingning.

No matter how powerful this killer organization named Tinghe Yuge is, it would never dare to assassinate the great-granddaughter of the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank. Will also retreat in spite of difficulties.

However, Li Qingning didn't pay attention to Yang Lu's gaze, and instead showed an eager expression. Even if she didn't speak, Yang Lu could see her true thoughts:

Missy wants to fight!

Seeing that Yang Lu didn't say a word for a long time, he stopped talking nonsense when he heard the killer in Heyu Pavilion.He raised his left hand, and a jet of black sword light made a strange howling sound, attacking in the direction where Yang Lu was standing.

However, Li Qingning was already ready to do it.

Almost at the same time as the killer made his move, Li Qingning stretched out his slender hand, and a blue vortex appeared in his palm.Then the black sword light seemed to be disturbed by some kind of force, and was quickly pulled aside by an invisible force, directly poking a huge transparent hole in a dry bulk warehouse with a masonry structure beside the road.

"Spiritual roots of the wind attribute, you are a Qi-refining Dzogchen practitioner!"

Seeing that Li Qingning easily blocked his attack, the smile of the killer in Heyu Pavilion froze instantly.

After the fight just now, both sides have clearly felt that Li Qingning's cultivation base is better than Ting He Yu Pavilion's killer!
This Mr. Killer never expected that Yang Lu, an employee of the mortal chamber of commerce, would be protected by a cultivator when he went out shopping. If he had known that things would become so troublesome, he would never have accepted the 4 yuan spirit stone coin. commission.

Realizing that the other party's cultivation was not as good as his own, Li Qingning said proudly: "Give up on your employer, and I can spare your life!"

Hearing the proposal given by Li Qingning, the Killer of Heyu Pavilion suddenly showed a look of struggle.

Just when Li Qingning thought that the opponent had been shaken, the killer of Heyu Pavilion suddenly changed his expression, and the black light that had just been knocked into the air shot out again from the ruins of the warehouse, stabbing Li Qingning's back at a faster speed.

It turned out that the killer's hesitation just now was all an illusion, he actually took advantage of Li Qingning's unpreparedness and brazenly launched a sneak attack!
Although Li Qingning has a higher level of cultivation, she obviously has no actual combat experience. She hastily slapped her palm in the air and slapped the attacking black light, but her movement was a little slower.

"Oops!"

Unconsciously, Li Qingning was hit by Wu Guang head-on, and immediately let out a mournful cry, and was knocked aside like a cannonball, and even knocked down a stone wall on the side of the road.
