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, Mr. Yang seemed to have a Qi blockage in his body, making it impossible for people to clearly see his cultivation level.
However, Su Xiaofan felt that he should be weaker than the ancestor of the Sword Sect, because Su Xiaofan could still feel the pressure from Mr. Yang.
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 Yang Shen 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, why did I 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, that's a compliment." Su Xiaofan quickly said modestly and 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 have 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 and couldn't help but sigh.
These two people advanced to the foundation building stage more than 20 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!"
Yang Lao 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 practice to the late stage of foundation building after so many years."
Although he was blaming the other person, everyone could tell that Mr. Yang had a close relationship with these two people, and he sounded like an elder was lecturing his younger generation.
"Elder brother went in, but... he never came out again."
Taoist Zhang said in a low voice: "This Qinling restricted area 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, and even if you two die, the inheritance will not be broken."
"If you dare to let me off the hook this time, I will throw you into the death zone!"
Mr. Yang knew the nature of these two people, and if he didn't beat them up, they 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 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%.
However, Mr. Yang knew that it was not the fault of others, as he would receive as much money as he put in.
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 there is a problem along the way. As long as the other three paths can complete the 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 there was one Chaofan, but now I know 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-level 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, and if he was anxious, he might be the first to die of anxiety.
"The good news is that there are only six extraordinary animals on the outside of the Qinling restricted area."
Mr. Yang said with a smile: "I went in this time and killed the clouded leopard at the entrance of 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."
When Minister Hua heard Yang Lao's words, he couldn't help but look happy. The clouded leopard was extremely fast and good at sneak attacks, so it still posed a great threat to them.
"That's not the bad news I'm talking about."
Mr. Yang shook his head, "The bad news is that the saint-level extraordinary in the inner circle is a giant bear. Although I have not fought with it, I should not be its opponent."
Mr. Yang was very steady in his work. 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 without even reacting.
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 fight it.
"Mr. Yang, can you stop me?"
Hearing Mr. Yang's words, 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 said it very clearly. He was no match for that 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 you in ten foundation building periods, 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 in vain. You have no offensive weapons and can't even break through the bear's defense."
Mr. Yang's eyes swept across several people, and finally settled on 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."
To deal with Saint-level extraordinary beings, it is not possible to deal with large numbers of people. Opponents of the same level cannot withstand Saint-level spiritual attacks. In the past, Hua Long and others could only add chaos.
"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."
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. This time there was a high chance that he would have to fight hard. Hualong also knew that following the previously assigned method, it 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!"
Hualong 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 his 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 could 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 ones. I just want to try some bear meat. I haven't eaten bear paws yet."
Su Xiaofan was speaking from his heart. He didn't need the inner elixir to advance, so it would be useless to ask for it. However, the giant python meat he killed last time has been eaten now, and it happened to be that 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."
Yang Lao stopped laughing and said, "It's Xiao Su who is going to attack and kill the green wolves, right? 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 alarm 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 protective cover of 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 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 the defense of the bear, the operation can be canceled directly.
Hearing Mr. Yang's words, everyone except the three sons of Jian Zong felt a little bit uncomfortable, as 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. Those extraordinary creatures in the outer circle were not just decorations, at least they were a fatal threat to them.
Mr. Yang took the three sons of Jian Zong and Duobao, left the hotel at the foot of the mountain, and went directly to Zhongnan.
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 that were like ghosts, flashing and appearing in the mountains.
"Okay, your body 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 your strength, and your 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 status is somewhat similar to teleportation. As long as their spiritual consciousness touches the place, their physical body will be there almost instantly.
So generally speaking, even a Yang Shen cultivator with average body skills is far from being comparable to a Yin Shen cultivator.
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 surprise 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 rushing on their way.
"Junior Brother Xiaofan, your speed is comparable to that of flying with a sword."
Seeing Su Xiaofan, Wen Wenming and Zhao Yijian were both shocked.
The two of them have been practicing for a combined one hundred and fifty years, but their speed is actually not as fast as Su Xiaofan, a young 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."
"In a blink of an eye, thousands of miles, 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 a 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 I'll test your attack power..."
Mr. Yang waved his right hand, and a dark iron sign slightly larger than a palm appeared on his hand.
But at the next moment, the iron sign 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 looked 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 originally 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 something 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.
