"Mr. Yang, you're here."
Seeing the person coming, Minister Hua quickly stood up, respectfully welcomed the person into the conference room, and gave up his seat.
Seeing Hualong's actions, other people in the conference room didn't understand that this was the arrival of the Yang Shen realm cultivator from the relevant department.
Zhao Yijian Wenming and Su Xiaofan both stood up. There is still a certain amount of respect for the seniors in the Yangshen realm, not to mention that this person is the key figure that determines the success or failure of this operation.
Saint-level extraordinary creatures must be dealt with by Yang Shen cultivators, otherwise even if they clean up the surrounding extraordinary creatures, this operation will end in failure.
Su Xiaofan raised his eyes and looked at the other person. Mr. Yang was tall and rosy. It was difficult to tell the other person's age from his appearance.
And just like the ancestor of the Sword Sect, there seems to be a Qi blockage in Mr. Yang's body, making it impossible for people to clearly see his cultivation level.
However, Su Xiaofan felt that he should be weaker than the Sword Sect ancestor, because Su Xiaofan could still feel the coercion from Yang Lao.
On the contrary, the ancestor of the Sword Sect has completely restrained his cultivation, and seems to be even better in comparison.
"How are you, ancestors?"
Mr. Yang, whom Minister Hua called Mr. Yang, looked at Wen Wenming and said, "It's been more than ten years since I last saw you, right? Your cultivation has improved a lot."
"My ancestor is very good. I mentioned you, Mr. Yang, some time ago."
Wen Wenming's attitude was very respectful, "Thanks to Mr. Yang for his support back then, otherwise the junior's cultivation might still be stuck in the middle stage of foundation building."
Wen Wenming stayed with his ancestor for a while in his early years and met some of his friends, and Mr. Yang in front of him was one of them.
As a senior in the Yangshen Realm, Mr. Yang is the kind of person who prefers to support the younger generation. He once pointed out some questions about the cultivation of civilization, so that's why Wenming said this.
"Old man, what did I do to support you? It's because of your own qualifications."
Mr. Yang shook his head with a smile and looked at Su Xiaofan again, "In the late stage of foundation building in our twenties, it is really the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead. We are all old."
"Senior, thank you." Su Xiaofan quickly said modestly, but did not take Mr. Yang's words seriously.
If it is in the traditional martial arts world, it is natural that the muscles and bones are not used as strength as we age, and the older we get, the more damaged our energy and blood will be.
Therefore, those old boxers will recruit qualified disciples and train them to cope with being sought for revenge when they grow old. Many old boxers lived a miserable life in their later years.
But cultivators are different. What cultivators pursue is the evolution of their own life level. The older they are, the higher their cultivation level will be. After the life level jumps, there will be no problem of old age and physical decline.
"Xiao Wu, why haven't you two made any progress?"
Mr. Yang finally looked at the Zhongnan duo, but couldn't help but sigh.
The two of them advanced to the foundation building stage more than twenty years ago, but after more than ten years, there has been no progress at all, and their cultivation is still at the early stage of foundation building.
Hearing what Mr. Yang said, Taoist Wu said with a sad face: "Old Yang, you also know that the spiritual energy in the outside world is so thin now that it is really unsustainable."
"You guys, there is no aura in the outside world, but you are guarding the Qinling restricted area!"
Mr. Yang hated the iron and said, "Even if you stay in the restricted area for thirty or fifty days every year, you will be able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building after so many years."
Although he was blaming each other, everyone could tell that Mr. Yang had a close relationship with these two people, and he sounded like an elder was lecturing his junior.
"Elder brother went in, but... he never came out again."
Taoist Zhang said in a low voice: "This restricted area in the Qinling Mountains is too dangerous. The Zhongnan lineage is tied to the two of us. If something happens, the Zhongnan inheritance will be gone."
"Do you really think I don't know?"
Mr. Yang said angrily: "Your Zhongnan lineage has its inheritance. Even if you two die, the inheritance will not be broken."
"Go in this time, if you dare to offend me, I will throw you into the death zone!"
Mr. Yang knew the nature of these two people. If he didn't give them a beating, he might actually be able to escape from the battlefield.
Mr. Yang is not from the Zhongnan lineage, but he has been staying in Zhongnan since he started practicing, and he has an irreconcilable relationship with the two masters.
Although he came down from the mountain and joined the relevant departments more than thirty years ago, Mr. Yang has always taken good care of the Zhongnan lineage and obtained many benefits for the Zhongnan lineage.
In fact, Mr. Yang arrived a long time ago, and he also heard about the reduction of Zhongnan's membership from 20% to 10%.
But Mr. Yang knew that it was no wonder that others would get paid as much as they worked hard.
His face was valuable, but his face was not so great that someone could give up the fruits of a life-and-death struggle.
"Yes, Mr. Yang, my brothers and sisters must move forward bravely this time!"
Taoist Wu agreed angrily, but looked at Hua Long, "Minister Hua, the defensive treasure you mentioned must be given to us as soon as possible, so that we can have more time to get familiar with it."
"Okay, I'll give it to you when the meeting is over."
Minister Hua nodded and said: "Mr. Yang, do you think Brother Wen's plan is good? The troops are divided into four groups, but it is a bit risky. If one of them cannot be taken, it will be very troublesome."
"It doesn't matter if something goes wrong along the way. As long as the other three paths can accomplish their set goals, shouldn't we be able to deal with the rest?"
Mr. Yang shook his head and said: "Our trip is actually a bit risky, because there are two situations that we have not grasped before.
The first is that there are two more Chaofan, that is, the green wolf Chaofan. I thought it was one, but now I know that there are three. Three wolves subjugate the tiger and should not be underestimated.
There is also a saint-level transcendent in the inner circle of the Qinling restricted area. I went in a few days ago and already know what kind of creature it is..."
"Mr. Yang, how can you go in alone? What if you are surrounded by them?"
Hearing Mr. Yang's words, Hualong couldn't help but feel anxious. The man in front of him was the only top combat force that the relevant departments could draw, and there was no room for any problems.
"Mr. Yang, what kind of extraordinary creature is the inner circle?"
Wen Wenming also asked, but his concerns were different from Minister Hua's.
"Two news, one good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Mr. Yang now whetted everyone's appetite.
"Hear the good news first." Minister Hua knew that Mr. Yang's temper was like this. If he was anxious, he might be anxious to death first.
"The good news is that there are only six extraordinary beings on the outside of the Qinling restricted area."
Mr. Yang said with a smile: "This time I went in and directly killed the clouded leopard at the entrance to the restricted area.
It's a pity that the guy in the inner circle of the penalty area came out very quickly, and I couldn't bring out the Clouded Leopard's body. "
"It's okay if I didn't bring it out. It's not bad news."
Minister Hua couldn't help but smile when he heard what Yang said. The clouded leopard was extremely fast and good at sneak attacks, so it was still a great threat to them.
"That's not what I mean by bad news."
Mr. Yang shook his head, "The bad news is that the saint-level extraordinary in the inner circle is a giant bear. Although I didn't fight it, I shouldn't be its opponent."
Mr. Yang was very steady at what he did. He broke into the restricted area with lightning speed and directly killed the extraordinary clouded leopard, leaving other extraordinary creatures in the Qinling restricted area unable to react.
But the bear in the inner circle of the penalty area showed his body this time, but after feeling its momentum, Mr. Yang withdrew from the penalty area and did not resist it.
"Mr. Yang, can you stop me?"
Hearing what Mr. Yang said, Hua Long's face turned ugly. He couldn't deal with the saint-level extraordinary creature. Even if they killed all the extraordinary creatures in the outer circle, they still couldn't win this restricted area.
"I risk my life, but I can only delay it for half an hour at most. Maybe this time will be shorter."
Yang Lao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It has been cultivating in the inner circle for who knows how many years. This advantage is really too great. Even if I risk my life, I can only hurt it at most, and it is not a fatal injury."
Old General Yang spoke very clearly. He was no match for the bear. Even if he tried his best, it would only be the result of his death and injury to the other party. It is estimated that the other party's injury was not very serious.
"What about us? With ten foundation-building periods with you, is there any hope of killing it?"
Hualong asked, as long as Mr. Yang said the word "no", he would immediately cancel the operation.
"You guys are all useless. You have no offensive weapons and can't even break through the defense of the bear."
Mr. Yang's eyes swept over several people, and finally stopped at the third son of the Sword Sect.
"The three of them have refined their natal flying swords, which can break defenses. If they can injure vital parts, there is still hope of killing the bear."
Yang Lao, who has a good relationship with the ancestor of the Sword Sect, naturally knows that the offensive skills of the Sword Sect are unparalleled in the world. Fighting across ranks is not possible for others, but it is common for the disciples of the Sword Sect.
In terms of pure attack power, Mr. Yang may not be able to compare with the disciples of the Sword Sect who refine the natal flying sword.
Of course, if they fight each other, the comparison is not entirely about attack power. Just like the three civilized people, they may not be able to use flying swords in front of Mr. Yang.
"Mr. Yang, are you saying there is still hope of winning the Qinling restricted area?"
Minister Hua's eyes lit up. He knew that Mr. Yang had always acted more steadily. Now that he said this, he must be somewhat sure.
"There is hope, but it requires the cooperation of the three of them."
Mr. Yang nodded and said: "And we need three treasures that can defend against spiritual attacks. Without the treasures, they may not be able to withstand the roar of the bear. How can they fight?"
"As for you..."
Mr. Yang looked at Hua Long and others again and said, "When we take action, you'd better hide ten kilometers away, otherwise the roar will kill you."
Dealing with saint-level extraordinary beings cannot be effective only with a large number of people. Opponents of the same level cannot withstand the saint-level consciousness attack at all. Hualong and others could only add chaos in the past.
"Three treasures that can defend against spiritual attacks?"
Hualong thought for a moment and said, "It should be available. I'll have someone pick it up and it can be delivered in the evening."
Guqi
Hualong looked at Su Xiaofan and others and said, "The danger of this operation will be much greater. If you have any ideas, you can put them forward first."
It was different from what he had expected before. There was a high chance that he would have to fight hard this time. Hualong also knew that the method assigned previously was not suitable at this moment.
"I, Zhongnan, will only take half of the shares..."
Taoist Wu was very discerning, and before Hualong could speak, he reduced his share by half.
"Okay, then our department will also spend half of it, and we can give you 10% to Sword Sect!"
Hua Long is also very decisive. If he wants the three sons of Jian Zong to fight hard, it will definitely not work without enough benefits.
In this way, if this trip is successful, Jianzong, Su Xiaofan and others can get 40% of the share, which is almost the same as what the relevant departments get.
"Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Xiaofan, what do you think?"
Wen Wenming looked at Zhao Yijian and Su Xiaofan. Although he wanted to give it a try, he still wanted to seek the opinions of the two junior brothers.
"The extra 10% will be distributed later depending on the strength. Do you two junior brothers have any objections?"
The voice of civilization sounded in the minds of Zhao Yijian and Su Xiaofan. This time he used spiritual sound transmission to communicate.
Zhao Yijian and Su Xiaofan both nodded slightly.
"If I can kill the bear, I don't want the inner elixir or the fur, but I want one-third of the bear meat!"
What surprised everyone was that Su Xiaofan actually put forward such an opinion.
"Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"
Hualong looked at Mr. Yang. According to the rules of their department, the prey killed by high-level cultivators can be kept as his own. Even if it was a bear that the four of them killed together, only Mr. Yang was eligible to distribute it.
"Okay, I'll give you one-third of the bear meat..."
Mr. Yang looked at Su Xiaofan with interest and said, "But little guy, the most valuable things for a saint-level transcendent are the inner elixir and fur. Why don't you want them?"
"I want those useless things. I just want to get some bear meat to try. By the way, I haven't eaten bear paws yet."
Su Xiaofan was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He didn't need the inner elixir to advance, so it was useless to ask for it. However, the giant python meat he killed last time had been eaten now, so he could get some bear meat this time.
"You little guy, you are interesting."
Mr. Yang could see that Su Xiaofan was telling the truth and couldn't help laughing.
"The plan needs to be changed."
Old Yang stopped laughing and said, "Is it Xiao Su who is going to attack and kill the green wolves? Then I will work with you to kill the three green wolves first, and then fight against Xiong Zan."
As for you two, hurry up and get rid of those extraordinary creatures and meet us in the inner circle. Remember, you must be fast! "
"With Mr. Yang taking action, we can't fight in from the entrance." Wen Wenming had another idea at this moment. Yang Shen can completely crush the opponent against ordinary extraordinary ones.
"No."
Mr. Yang shook his head, "As long as I take action, I will alert the bear, and the other extraordinary beings on the periphery will not wait for you to kill them. Do you want to hide and seek with them in the restricted area?"
"It's better to attack at the same time. Everyone should keep an eye on the Chaofan they want to deal with and kill them as quickly as possible."
"Mr. Yang, don't we all have to go in through the entrance? It takes time to find those extraordinary ones."
Su Xiaofan expressed the questions in his heart, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him strangely.
"Junior Brother Su, you have to go through the entrance when you come out, but you can go in anywhere."
Wen Wenming knew that his junior brother didn't know much about the restricted area, so he immediately said: "As long as we find the extraordinary positions outside the restricted area that correspond to the outer circle, we can just go in."
"Hey, I forgot about this."
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but slap his forehead when he heard this. He actually knew about this. The barrier in the restricted area was designed to protect against the inside but not the outside.
"No more questions?"
Mr. Yang looked at everyone and said: "Xiaohua, go and arrange the defense of the treasure. Several members of your Sword Sect will follow me. We need to cooperate in advance..."
Hunting for saint-level extraordinary beings is really a matter of keeping your head in your belt. Even if Mr. Yang is not careful, he may encounter unexpected events, so he must be fully prepared in advance.
At the very least, Mr. Yang needs to know what the attack power of these three people is. If their natal flying swords cannot break through Xiong Zong's defense, the operation can be canceled directly.
Hearing what Mr. Yang said, everyone except the three sons of Jian Zong felt a little bit uncomfortable, as if they were all playing the role of soy sauce this time.
However, the world of cultivators adheres to the law of the jungle where the weak eat the strong.
If you have strength, you will have face, but if you don't have strength, it is normal to be ignored. Status and seniority will only be discussed among your peers, but outsiders will not recognize this.
Hualong was going to retrieve the defensive treasures, while Luan was leading the others to discuss plans. The extraordinary creatures in the outer circle were not just decorations, at least they were a fatal threat to them.
Mr. Yang left the hotel at the foot of the mountain and went directly to Zhongnan with the three sons of Jianzong and Duobao.
The four of them are cultivators above the Yin Shen realm, and they are not satisfied with their speed, not to mention Tiger Cat, who is known for his speed.
After entering the mountain, Mr. Yang's speed suddenly increased a lot, leaving Wenming and Zhao Yijian behind.
But Su Xiaofan and Duobao still followed Mr. Yang leisurely.
I don't know if he wanted to test Su Xiaofan's speed, but Yang Lao's speed suddenly almost doubled again.
However, Su Xiaofan and Tiger Cat still followed, and saw three figures flashing and appearing in the mountains like ghosts.
"Okay, your movement skills are not simple, you are also a big cat with speed."
After running for more than a hundred miles in the mountains, Mr. Yang stopped and looked at Su Xiaofan and Duobao in surprise.
Cultivating to the Yangshen realm is equivalent to experiencing the second jump in the level of life.
This jump will greatly improve the strength, and the spiritual consciousness, physical body and sensitivity will be greatly enhanced.
In terms of speed, Yang Shen cultivators can already feel the effect of space.
Their identity is a bit similar to teleportation. As long as their spiritual consciousness touches the place, their physical body will be there almost instantly.
Therefore, generally speaking, even Yang Shen cultivators with average body skills are far from being comparable to Yin Shen cultivators.
But what surprised Mr. Yang was that Su Xiaofan, a cultivator in the Yin Shen realm, had body skills somewhat similar to his, as if he had also touched the threshold of space.
"Okay, let's go back and leave those two people a little far behind."
Now Mr. Yang was a little curious about Su Xiaofan. He didn't know what kind of surprises this talented cultivator in his early twenties would bring to him.
I followed Mr. Yang back through the mountain road for about thirty or forty miles, and then I met Zhao Yijian and Wenming who were going all out.
"Junior Brother Xiaofan, your speed is comparable to flying with a sword."
Seeing Su Xiaofan, Wen Wenming and Zhao Yijian were both shocked.
The two of them have been practicing for a total of one hundred and fifty years, and they are actually not as fast as Su Xiaofan, a junior in his early twenties.
"Much slower than flying with a sword."
Yang Lao curled his lips when he heard this, "You guys don't understand, so don't talk nonsense. Real flying with a sword, thousands of miles in an instant, is not something you can comment on."
"A thousand miles in an instant, then... isn't that a sword immortal?" Hearing Mr. Yang's words, Wen Wenming and Zhao Yijian were stunned.
"There is no Sword Immortal, but there is one Sword Demon. Hey, why am I telling you this?"
Mr. Yang suddenly reacted and said angrily: "Don't ask so much about things you shouldn't know. Now let me test your attack power..."
Mr. Yang waved his right hand, and a dark iron sign slightly larger than a palm appeared in his hand.
But at the next moment, the iron plate swelled up in the storm and turned into a shield about half a meter wide and about one meter high.
"My black iron shield is considered a middle-grade treasure. Can you try to break it?"
General Yang waved his right hand, forming a protective body in front of himself.
"Mr. Yang, you...how did your black iron shield become bigger?"
Su Xiaofan stared straight at it. He couldn't hold back any doubts in his heart, so he asked directly.
"The treasure contains a trace of the principle of space, and it can change its size."
Mr. Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He really hadn't thought about this question deeply, and he didn't know how to refine weapons. He should ask the weapon refiner about this question.
"Junior brother, your and my flying swords can also become smaller."
Wen Wenming said from the side: "After refining, the treasures can be put into the body and turn into mustard seeds. Doesn't the body need multiple holes?"
"That's what senior brother said."
When Su Xiaofan thought about it, it made sense. No matter how short his flying sword was, it was only twenty or thirty centimeters long. How big was the Dantian? If it didn't get smaller, how could the flying sword be put in it?
"Mr. Yang, how about I come first!"
After explaining to Su Xiaofan, Wen Wenming was the first to stand up.
He opened his mouth and spat out, and a black flying sword floated in front of him.
