Wu Neng, who was violently splashed with cold water and knocked unconscious by Ye Chen's iron fist, finally regained focus in his eyes.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw a young monk staring at him with a smile and said: "Fellow Daoist Wu, are you awake?"
Wu Neng looked at the young monk, and then at the three people following the young monk. The expression on his face became even more confused: "Do you know me? Who are you all?"
Yang Lu smiled and replied: "This is Yang Lu, the consultant of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. As for these fellow Taoists next to me... they are all my friends. Of course, you may not know us, but at the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, I
I have seen your wonderful performance!"
When Yang Lu mentioned the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Wu Neng's face, but it was quickly replaced by fear: "Everyone, what on earth do you want to do to me?"
Yang Lu quickly made a calm gesture, smiled and comforted: "As you can see, you are already defeated by us. I also have two options for you to choose from. The first is to become our
As for the second member of the team, we will kill him in exchange for merit..."
"You...what are you talking about?"
Just like Rong Cheng and Xi Ziang, Wu Neng, who heard the news for the first time, was also stunned on the spot:
When engaging in team building on foreign battlefields, brother, you are really not afraid of death!
Since this was not the first time he had tried to persuade him to surrender, Yang Lu already had plenty of experience in talking nonsense. Regardless of whether Wu Neng believed it or not, there was a general principle of "the right person will get more help, the unjust person will get less help", and Xi Ziang and Rong Cheng both
The senior loser also kept urging him to surrender quickly with various purposes.
After some persuasion, Wu Neng had no choice but to express with confusion that he was willing to follow Advisor Yang's command.
And when Wu Neng officially joined the team, Yang Lu also adjusted the magic weapon configuration of the three losers again.
Wu Neng's Judge's Pen was given to Rongcheng for control, Rongcheng's Taomu Flying Sword was given to Xi Zi'ang, and Xi Ziang's natal flying sword was handed over to Wu Neng for safekeeping, forming a situation where the three of them held each other's natal magic weapons.
situation.
According to Yang Lu, only by giving each other's back can we fully reflect our team spirit!
In addition, as Wu Neng was captured obediently, Yang Lu also seized the special reconnaissance magic weapon he carried with him——
Pleiades Risinan.
According to Wu Neng's introduction, Pleiades Sinan is the ancestral magic weapon of Yueyun Villa. It is said that this treasure is also an ancient magic weapon unearthed by a senior of Yueyun Villa in a forbidden battlefield outside the territory hundreds of years ago.
With the help of Subaru Sinan's power, Wu Neng can detect abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations in the vicinity over a wide range, and can also detect cultivators holding their breath when the distance is less than 300 meters. Therefore, its practical effect is
, which is equivalent to strengthening the user’s spiritual consciousness detection ability by an entire order of magnitude!
If the spiritual energy fluctuations caused by activating Pleiadesinan were not too large, targets that were too close would find the user of Pleiadesinan. This magic weapon specially used for reconnaissance has almost no flaws. Wu Neng just passed
He mobilized Subaru Sinan at close range and discovered Ye Chen and the others who were secretly ambushing them in advance.
However, Subarisinan, as an ancient magic weapon, cannot be used directly by pouring spiritual energy into it. It must be refined over a long period of time, and outsiders cannot use it casually.
So Yang Lu made an exception and allowed Wu Neng to continue to hold this magic weapon to help his small team observe the enemy's situation.
Yang Lu was not worried about Wu Neng deliberately deceiving him. After all, when the opponent was in danger, he did not use Pleiades Sinan's power to fight back. This fully demonstrated that Pleiades Sinan was a reconnaissance weapon without any combat effectiveness.
With Wu Neng, a master of reconnaissance, joining the team, the fishing efficiency of the entire team has been greatly improved.
Yang Lu finally no longer had to put himself in danger and act as a decoy in person. He only needed to directly release his aura, and then let Wu Neng activate Pleiades Sinan, and he could check if there were any unlucky cultivators within a 20-mile radius.
The person is attracted by his own breath.
As long as there are no special treasures such as the Hidden Spirit Pill to suppress the fluctuations of spiritual energy, any method of stimulating the spiritual energy to move forward, whether it is divine movement or light escape, cannot be hidden from Pleiades Sinan's reconnaissance.
After all the members of the small team were ready, Yang Lu released his aura again, but before he could set up the escape light and spin it twice, Wu Neng immediately gave a reminder and said that he was more than ten miles away from everyone.
, from the due north, due south, and northeast, there is a cultivator each approaching this place quickly.
Facts have proved that monks in the middle stage of Qi refining are indeed the meat and potatoes of battlefields outside the territory. As long as they reveal a little aura, without deliberately seducing them, they can make countless monks in the late stage of Qi refining flock to them. It can be said that "an arrow that pierces the clouds can bring thousands of troops to come."
"Meet each other"!
Yang Lu has also realized at this moment that he may have seriously underestimated the investigation methods of the outside battlefield testers. Every time he jumped out to fish, he should have successfully attracted the attention of many cultivators. However, the cultivators who came after hearing the news
Most people's reactions were probably similar to Wu Neng's. They ran over to take a look at the situation and found that Yang Lu's behavior was a bit suspicious, so they left on their own.
Only a handful of reckless men, like Rong Cheng and Xi Ziang, would choose to commit suicide themselves.
In the past, when facing these cautious guys, Yang Lu had no ability to keep them and could only watch them slip away from his eyes. But now with Subaru Sinan's help, he no longer has to worry about these guys taking the bait.
And lost it again.
Now they can choose to take the initiative!
Since the Night Light Flower is located in the center of the valley, if a cultivator wants to sneak into the valley quietly on foot without activating the escape light, there are only three paths to the northeast, northwest, and south. And if someone comes from the south, there is no need to go around.
After walking more than half of the way around the valley, he could only enter the canyon through the passage due south to check the situation.
After learning that the three cultivators were approaching from three directions, Yang Lu immediately decided to lead his team to set up an ambush at the mouth of the valley due south to intercept and kill the unlucky cultivator coming from the south in advance.
Just as Yang Lu expected, in order not to arouse the alertness of the "target", these cultivators who came to check the situation all chose to walk on foot after approaching the valley, thereby minimizing the fluctuations in spiritual energy they generated.
However, the cultivator who came from the south to kill people and seize the treasure did not know that he had just reached the mouth of the valley when he was already being targeted by five cultivators with malicious intentions.
When Yang Lu and others saw the cultivator's clothes from a distance, they were also shocked by his identity.
The cultivators Yang Lu had met before were all small shrimps from the major vassal sects in Zhongzhou, and this cultivator who had just stepped into the ambush circle turned out to be an official disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect!
Unlike ordinary disciples of vassal sects, no matter how strong they are, they are still at the level of Wu Neng. There is a huge gap in strength between the outer disciples, inner disciples, and direct disciples of Wuliang Sword Sect.
The outer disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect may not be as strong as Wu Neng, but the inner disciples are definitely stronger than Wu Neng. As for those direct disciples, they are even stronger than Ye Chen, and the difference in clothing between the three is not close.
You can’t tell by looking at it!
Yang Lu just wanted to use the Eagle Eye Technique to observe the opponent carefully, but unexpectedly Rongcheng suddenly exclaimed: "Holy shit! This person turns out to be Yang Chenglong, an outer disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect!"
Hearing that Rong Cheng actually called out the other party's name, Yang Lu was very surprised and said: "What? Does Fellow Daoist Rong know this person?"
"This guy is a shameless liar. He deceived us so miserably!"
Noticing the surprised looks cast by everyone, Rongcheng gritted his teeth and added: "My master Fei Fan suffered an unjust injustice in the Shanying Sect. He asked people everywhere to appeal to the Wuliang Sword Sect, but the high-level cultivators of the Wuliang Sword Sect
Worried about offending Chen Ming's great supporter Cheng Shuying, everyone would just pretend to be deaf and dumb. Just when we had no way to complain, we happened to meet Yang Chenglong, a shameless liar!"
Yang Chenglong was not traveling very fast, and he was still some distance away from the ambush circle set up by everyone, so Yang Lu started gossiping casually: "Tell me more, how did he lie to you?"
"Actually, I've known this person for a long time, but I'm just not very familiar with it. I don't know when he learned about the difficulties my master Fei Fan encountered, and then he took the initiative to find me and lied to me that he was the "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly"
》The illegitimate son of editor-in-chief Xi Jinhu, he also defrauded me of the five thousand spirit stone coins my master gave me for the activity! When I saw him last time, his natal flying sword was not the one in his hand. I think he must
He used the stolen money obtained through fraud to replace his new flying sword!" Rong Cheng became more and more angry as he spoke, and his expression turned ferocious at the end. If Ye Chen hadn't been watching him with eager eyes, he couldn't help but jump out and talk to Yang Chenglong.
It was a fight to the death.
Hearing this, the other people showed very speechless expressions. Yang Lu even complained ruthlessly: "You can actually fall for such a low-level scam?"
Even though Xi Ziang had been planning to win over Rongcheng to rebel, he couldn't help but ridiculed: "How could the dignified editor-in-chief of "Cultivation Financial Weekly" provoke the Yuan Ying ancestor of the Wuliang Sword Sect for the elders of a certain local sect? This logic does not make sense at all.
!”
Rong Cheng immediately defended himself: "It's not that I'm easy to deceive, but this Yang Chenglong is too cunning! He doesn't know where he got the private magic mark of the editor-in-chief of "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly"! How can ordinary disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect's Qi Refining Period get it?
This kind of thing? I saw that this person made a decent statement and had ironclad evidence, so I paid a deposit for Hulihutu!"
Before Yang Lu could ask any questions, Xi Ziang was surprised: "How did he get such a thing? Did you admit your mistake?"
Rong Cheng said with an angry face: "If I knew the reason, I wouldn't have been deceived! But I can guarantee that Xi Jinhu's magic mark is definitely genuine, and it is the kind with contractual effect. After all, it involves several people.
In the big business of Thousand Spirit Stone Coins, I will definitely not tolerate these most basic verification tasks!"
Xi Ziang didn't understand at this time: "Does the Wuliang Sword Sect not care about this kind of bluffing and cheating?"
Hearing this question, Rong Cheng's face turned slightly red and said: "So I say that Yang Chenglong is really too cunning. He never made it clear about his relationship from the beginning to the end. He just kept hinting that he had a relationship with Xi Jinhu. Even if I
I made a complaint to the Infinite Sword Sect. If Yang Chenglong insists that he didn’t say anything, it’s completely my own misunderstanding. I...I can’t produce any evidence to refute him!”
Yang Lu chuckled and said: "I think it's only one aspect that reporting is useless! Even if reporting is useful, I guess you wouldn't dare to report it. "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations" clearly stipulates that the crime of bribery is as serious as the crime of accepting bribes. Even if it is
If you can sue Yang Chenglong, all your five thousand spirit stone coins will be confiscated by the Wuliang Sword Sect, and you will even be fined additionally!"
The "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations" are the most important rules and regulations in Zhongzhou, and Yang Lu has already studied them in depth.
Although he is not an expert in law, he can also see that this set of regulations has done an excellent job at the mechanism design level. However, it still has several very obvious loopholes, especially the provisions involving bribery and bribery.
It is also full of loopholes.
For example, the crime of accepting bribes is equal to that of giving bribes, and there is no leniency clause for voluntary surrender. It is clear that bribers and bribe takers are not encouraged to report each other.
Another example is that in the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations", the crime of accepting bribes for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage is reduced by one level, the crime of accepting bribes for practitioners in the Foundation Establishment Stage is reduced by two levels, and the crime of cultivators at the Golden Core Stage is reduced by three levels. However, for low-level cultivators who offer bribes, the crime of accepting bribes is reduced by two levels.
Regulations that require severe punishment when dealing with ordinary people.
It would be fine if there was only one clause of a similar nature, but all the clauses related to bribery and bribery had similar problems, which made Yang Lu have to suspect that the Wuliang Sword Sect was deliberately condoning the corruption and bribery of its disciples.
He also specifically consulted Han Fulai, the master of bureaucracy, on this issue, and Han Fulai's view was completely consistent with his, that is, the Wuliang Sword Sect's legislation is encouraging corruption and crime.
Money means, then corruption is the only way for them to cultivate to the golden elixir stage.
Han Fulai further pointed out that this is precisely the power of the Wuliang Sword Sect's imperial skills. Only when all cultivators have criminal records can the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect have unlimited power, and the leader Lin Jianxing can send out the law enforcement hall's young men at will.
Eliminate dissidents within the faction. Instead, dissidents like Li Feiyu who stand and make money are the most difficult thorns to deal with.
Lin Jianxing really couldn't do anything to him, so he was forced to pass the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference to accuse him of an unfounded crime, even though the crime was so outrageous that everyone could see that it was an intentional crime.
After Yang Lu revealed the secret, Rongcheng was speechless.
Facing the sympathetic looks from everyone, he gritted his teeth and said: "Counsellor Yang, if you want to capture this person, I am willing to be the vanguard!"
Yang Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "This man is a disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect after all. Are you sure you can take him down?"
Rong Cheng immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Consultant Yang, Yang Chenglong is not very strong and is at the bottom of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible to engage in this low-level business of deception and abduction. Even if I am not his opponent, You Ye
With Fellow Daoist and Fellow Daoist Wu here, it will be easy to capture this person."
Yang Lu nodded and said: "In this case, you will definitely have a chance to take action later!"
