Chapter 143 Winners and Losers

The Black Pool Jiaowang was hit hard by the Eagle Sword, which is an arrow at the end of its flight.

It hurriedly turned around and spat out a dark venom, trying to interfere with Chen Ming's attacking rhythm, and then without looking back, dragged its remains and continued to run wild, without any thought of revenge.

In the face of the venom of the Black Pool Flood King, Chen Ming didn't even dodge, only to see a bright halo suddenly lit up around him, it should be some defensive magic weapon, and then he looked at black After the venom was poured, it only corroded the outermost half inch of the aura, and was annihilated by the majestic Spiritual Qi.

This kind of venom that can turn the Qi Refinement Realm magic weapon into ashes was blocked by Chenming casually!

At the same time, Chen Ming raised his hand and cut out the second sword.

Chen Ming showed no mercy for this sword, and the Black Pool Flood King did not have a second tail to resist. He saw the sharp sword light cut directly from the center of the shadow. The Black Pool Flood Dragon, who was running at a high speed, instantly lost his motivation to move forward.

"Bang——bang——"

After two muffled falls, the Black Pool Flood King's body like a hill was directly divided into by the sharp sword light. two , turned into two parts and fell to the ground, apparently completely dead.

Feeling that the breath of the Black Pool Flood King disappeared, all monster beasts driven by the Black Pool Flood King lost one's head out of fear, and began to recede towards the nature reserve like a tide, and shrank in the energy. The cultivators behind the barrier were highly motivated, and they all jumped out from behind the barrier and started chasing the monster beasts to beat the underdogs.

Because of this change, the outer city area of Tianshu City will soon disappear from the monster beast activities.

Under the command of the Sect Master Fei Fan, the energy barrier that was extinguished in the outer city of Tianshu City was quickly re-established. Even if the monster beast tide hits again, it is impossible to cause the damage just now. .

It looks like everything is going in the right direction.

However, Chen Ming, who had just displayed his diving might, had a gloomy face, staring at the dilapidated Tianshu City, without the joy that a winner should have.

Although the direct property loss of Tianshu City can be compensated by the monster beast corpse, or even a slight surplus, after the strength of the Tianshu Mountain Range Nature Reserve, it will take at least dozens of Years of recuperation can completely restore the vitality. In the future, the financial revenue that the Shanying faction will receive from the nature reserve, and even the entire monster beast hunting industry chain, will inevitably suffer a heavy blow.

What's even worse is that due to the serious damage to the infrastructure of Tianshu City, the pilot of the new generation of cultivation social security system has been completely destroyed. A way that ended miserably.

"Fei Fan, Huan An, you two, come back to Yingxiang Ding with me, I need an explanation!" Chen Ming casually clicked the names of the two Mountain Eagle Sect Elders, and then turned into Changhong again. , shot at the Shanying Sect Council Hall at the highest point of Yingxiang Peak.

Obviously, since the beast tide in Tianshu City has subsided, it is time to settle accounts after the fall.

According to preliminary statistics, this Tianshu beast tide caused a total of six Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and more than 30 Qi Refinement Realm cultivators to be killed on the spot, most of whom were out of place who did not obey orders. cultivator , this is a serious and vicious event that has happened in Central Plains for several decades.

Don't say that Fei Fan and Huan'an, the mountain hawk elders, will be extremely unlucky, because of those unfortunate out-of-town Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, Chen Ming himself will be held accountable by the Immeasurable Sword Sect executives. .

Chen Ming didn't even have time to organize the aftermath, so he was so anxious to find a few elders to discuss matters, also in order to unify the voice as soon as possible to deal with the next series of troubles.

And as the situation subsided as scheduled, Yang Lu finally didn't have to be a coward anymore. He pretended to be nothing, quietly mixed into the cultivator who went out of the city to beat the underdogs, and then took advantage of the chaos. Songjian Pavilion.

Be careful to keep the monster core obtained in this adventure, Yang Lu can't help but be relieved. Although this operation took some risks, the result is still satisfactory.

Chen Ming rushed back to Tianshu City ahead of schedule, of course it was no coincidence.

Yang Lu had already informed Li Qingning in Seacliff City of the news of the Black Pool Flood King's attack on the city through the messenger spell, and instructed Li Qingning to pass the information to the current one through Fang Jiancai's channel. Chen Ming who reports to the top management of Immeasurable Sword Sect.

As a new partner of Merit Hall, Li Qingning must have a way to directly contact Fang Jiancai, and Fang Jiancai is Chen Ming's partner. The two also went to the Immeasurable Sword Sect together this time. Headquarters reported the work, informed Fang Jiancai about the monster beast attack on the city, and informed Chen Ming himself.

However, according to Yang Lu's suggestion, Li Qingning did not immediately pass the information to Fang Jiancai.

After all, Yang Lu's ultimate goal is to make Fang Jiancai and Chenming owe him favor, not to help Tianshucheng solve the problem. The intelligence channel is a little faster, even if this favor is in place.

Actually speaking of which, the interests of Qingning Chamber of Commerce and Liu Hanxing are highly aligned on the issue of destroying the Heaven Destroying pivot city.

Now that Li Qingning has been tricked into Merit Hall's pirate ship by Fang Jiancai, if he wants to backstab each other immediately, there will undoubtedly be a complete break between the two sides, and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will lose Li Qingyang's protection. , can't afford the consequences of Merit Hall's post-autumn settlement.

But if Li Qingning is labeled as Merit Hall, Li Qingyang's plan will inevitably fall into a very passive situation. Therefore, the current situation of Qingning Chamber of Commerce can be described as a dilemma.

However, this attacking the mountain to shake a tiger planned by Liu Hanxing gave the Qingning Chamber of Commerce an excellent opportunity to get out of the predicament.

If Liu Hanxing can deal a heavy blow to Merit Hall and get Fang Jiancai and Merit Hall out of the game early, it will make Qingning Chamber of Commerce stay away from the vortex of the high-level political struggle in the Immeasurable Sword Sect as soon as possible, and it will not. So offend Merit Hall.

Therefore, the time when Li Qingning sent information to Fangjian was only two hours earlier than when Liu Qi launched the operation. There is no drama in rushing back to Tianshu City.

Even if the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce is unreliable, taking advantage of this time difference is enough to cause a fatal blow to Tianshu City.

However, due to the lack of necessary intelligence, Yang Lu still missed the special situation of the headquarters of Immeasurable Sword Sect.

In order to hold Chen Ming down, Immeasurable Sword Sect Sect Master Lin Jianxing deliberately arranged the routine debriefing meeting of the vassal Sect today, and asked Chen Ming to report the work in person, so just seeing Cai's information, And not immediately passed to Chen Ming here.

Fortunately, Lin Jianxing could hold back Chen Ming, but he couldn't hold back the Supreme Elder Cheng Shuying, who is also a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

Although the information about the monster beast attacking the city is very unbelievable, but because it is the information sent by Li Qingning himself, and Li Qingyang's secretary Prince Wei also confirmed the authenticity of the information again, he couldn't get in touch with Chen. In the case of Ming, Fang Jiancai chose to report the information directly to his immediate boss, Merit Hall, who was always in charge of Zicheng Shuying.

Actually, Fei Fan, the Sect Master of the Shanying faction, had already sent a summons spell, reporting to Chenming the news of the monster beast attacking the city, and asking him if he could use the nine-turn Tianshu Great Array. Kill the Black Pool Flood King.

It's a pity that the routine closed-door meeting held by Lin Jianxing, the trifling Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator's summoning spell could not be sent in, so Chen Ming didn't know what happened in Tianshu City until Cheng Shuying used Supreme Elder His identity forced the meeting to be interrupted, and Chen Ming woke up like a dream, and immediately set off to Tianshu City to save Changzi.

It is precisely because Yang Lu and Liu Qi have their own arrangements that Chen Ming finally arrived at Tianshu City nearly an hour later than Yang Lu expected, but it was also earlier than Liu Qi expected. Two hours early.

Although the timeline of the beast disaster in Tianshu City did not follow any party's plan, both Yang Lu and Liu Qi finally achieved their main goals, and the Shanying faction and Merit Hall were the The biggest loser of the man-made animal disaster.

Tianshu City, governed by the Shanying faction, was severely damaged, and more than 100,000 mortals were displaced. Not only did the pilot work of the cultivation social security system basically go bankrupt, but the future Sect's finances would also be greatly affected. It may affect the Sect merit of the Shanying faction.

Not only that, but the Shanying faction was hit hard just after announcing the pilot cultivation of the social security system. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Shanying faction was deliberately retaliated by hostile forces.

Since Merit Hall can't even protect the Sect he is covering, any local forces wanting to cooperate with Cheng Shuying in the future will need to weigh them up.

After this battle, the prestige of Cheng Shuying and Merit Hall will undoubtedly drop a thousand zhang in one fall, and they can basically announce their formal withdrawal from the competition for the reformation of the cultivation social security system.
