At this very moment, as Lu Yang walked out of his seclusion and came face-to-face with Immortal Lord Qingyang, the cultivators below the sixth layer had already begun to go crazy...
The exchange rate, which had originally soared to 854, suddenly began to plummet.
844, 830, 800, 750... More and more people started selling the Carefree Talismans in their hands, but there were also red-eyed people who chose to hold on grimly.
"The fight hasn't even started yet."
"Even if he is an Unorthodox perfected lord, he might not necessarily lose to an Orthodox immortal lord. As long as he can withstand it and draw, the price of the Carefree Talisman will rise back!"
"Hold on."
"As long as that Perfected Lord Ming He can win, everything will be fine."
"Trust me, the price drop of the Carefree Talisman now is not a crisis, but an excellent window of opportunity to buy at the bottom. As long as we seize it and buy in large quantities at this time, once Perfected Lord Ming He wins—even if he just doesn't lose—the Carefree Talisman will immediately skyrocket, and our assets will multiply several times over!"
In an instant, countless gazes converged.
In the entire [Celestial Court], cultivators from the first to the sixth layer all widened their eyes, watching Lu Yang and Immortal Lord Qingyang. The resulting concept almost covered the universe.
Meanwhile, above Mengwei City.
Feeling the converging concept of [Money], Immortal Lord Qingyang nodded with satisfaction: The final step. After the harvest is complete, I can return to the sixth layer.
This time he had made a fortune.
Not only did he recoup the previous losses from the Daoyan Immortal Talisman and the Shaoyin Immortal Talisman in one go, but he also pushed his savings to an exaggerated figure.
Wait until I suppress this Perfected Lord Ming He with an invincible and domineering posture. While the Carefree Talisman crashes, my Qingyang Immortal Talisman will definitely see a certain increase. Then I'll borrow a bit more from the Heaven and Earth Immortal Bank, and I should be able to gather enough money to buy the [Taiyang Residing in the Spring Primary Position].
Good days are coming!
Thinking of this, Immortal Lord Qingyang immediately looked at Lu Yang below and sneered. "Since Fellow Daoist has come out, then come with me to the sixth layer."
"Immortal Lord is mistaken."
Lu Yang shook his head upon hearing this. "Since I created the Carefree Talisman, I have never evaded taxes or paid less than owed. I have not violated any rules."
"Why do I need to go to the sixth layer for investigation?"
It seems he is unwilling...
Seeing Lu Yang retort, Immortal Lord Qingyang was not surprised. After all, with the current price of the Carefree Talisman, if it were him, he wouldn't be willing to sit back and watch it collapse either.
No matter how desperate, one would want to take a gamble.
Pity, it's all in vain.
After all, a mere Unorthodox immortal lord, although having some means, is ultimately just Unorthodox—a big player to be harvested. And he also wants to make money?
As his voice fell, Immortal Lord Qingyang reached out directly:
"Stubborn and foolish. Since you openly resist arrest, I will personally take action and escort you to the sixth layer!"
Boom!!
rumble!
Instantly, as Immortal Lord Qingyang's spiritual power surged, the concept belonging to the Taiyang lineage erupted with a bang, instantly covering Mengwei City below along with it.
"Hiss!"
At this moment, the cultivators filling the city, including the seven Unorthodox perfected lords like Banshan, all sucked in a breath of cold air. The spiritual power concepts all over their bodies dissipated instantly.
Taiyang Residing in the Spring, its qi dissolves Yin.
Governing killing, commanding silence.
Spiritual Extinction!
Under the shroud of Immortal Lord Qingyang's spiritual power, the spiritual qi inside and outside the entire Unorthodox Alliance dried up completely, instantly plunging into an dharma ending age where spiritual qi was extinguished.
In addition, from Unorthodox perfected lords down to Qi Refining cultivators, their stature, divine abilities, and spiritual power also fell layer by layer. Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators were directly demoted to mortals, and although Unorthodox perfected lords weren't stripped of their stature because of this, they were still strugling—their aura withered to the extreme.
In the next second, Immortal Lord Qingyang's palm fell.
This palm gathered cold air, gathering clouds and capturing rain. White cloud dust rose wherever it passed, clearly intending to severely injure Lu Yang with one palm strike.
"Bang!"
A deafening loud noise, like a heavy hammer striking the price of the Carefree Talisman, caused the already tottering Carefree Talisman to plummet again.
At the same time, inside the Unorthodox Alliance.
Seeing this, Banshan also sighed deeply, thinking to himself: As expected... Ming He is finished!
The Carefree Talisman is also finished!
On the other side, the other Unorthodox perfected lords of the Unorthodox Alliance also looked like they had survived a disaster: "Alliance Leader... indeed possesses miraculous foresight. The sixth layer really took action."
"Fortunately, we sold early."
"Understand now?"
Hearing this, Banshan looked at everyone proudly and smiled. "You people, without investment vision, don't rashly speculate on other immortal talismans."
"Obediently work overtime in the Unorthodox Alliance to produce uniform Unorthodox immortal talismans. Although the money comes slowly, at least you won't lose. Moreover, you reap what you sow. Don't always think about making quick money; otherwise, you'll only end up like those bankrupt cultivators outside—losing everything."
After speaking, Banshan shook his head again.
The masters of the sixth layer were still masters after all. When an Orthodox immortal lord took action, how could a mere Unorthodox cultivator withstand it? From now on, the Carefree Talisman would be reduced to waste paper—
"Is that all your strength?"
A calm voice drifted out indifferently from the smoke and dust generated by Immortal Lord Qingyang's strike. In the next second, a streak of magnificent light rolled up the sky-filling smoke clouds.
Soon, the smoke clouds dispersed.
Within the magnificent light, Lu Yang stood with his hands behind his back. His figure seemed illusory and dreamlike. Although he was clearly standing there, he appeared transcendent and unworldly, floating like an immortal.
Safe and sound!
In an instant, the entire sixth layer fell into a dead silence. The Carefree Talisman, which had been close to crashing, also suddenly stopped falling. Everyone widened their eyes.
...Not good!
Immortal Lord Qingyang's eyelids twitched slightly, realizing something was wrong. He immediately shouted in a magnificent voice, "Audacious! A mere Unorthodox cultivator dares to speak wildly in front of me?"
Before his voice fell, he circulated all his spiritual power. Spreading his palm, a treasure seal overflowing with flowing light and color was held in his palm.
This treasure was named [Great Transformation Frost-Subduing Seal].
Usually, as a true treasure of the Taiyang lineage, it was hidden within the dao fruit. At critical moments, he needed to spend a huge sum to rent it out temporarily for use.
But he couldn't care about that now.
I must suppress this person as quickly as possible; otherwise, the Carefree Talisman will rebound. Then how much money will I lose from my previous sell-off?
Just thinking about it made Immortal Lord Qingyang's heart ache.
And the more this was so, the heavier the chill in his eyes became, finally turning into killing intent. Even if he had to kill Lu Yang, he would not hesitate!
"Boom!"
In the next second, Immortal Lord Qingyang deployed the true treasure with all his might, mobilizing the Taiyang profound wonder, mixing concepts, and draining all his spiritual power to thunderously crashed down towards Lu Yang.
Instantly, cold air rolled between heaven and earth, and smoke and dust filled the sky, swallowing Lu Yang's figure again. Even the [Money] concept converging in the sky fluctuated violently, as if turning into wave after wave, rising and falling, tugging at the emotions of all cultivators.
"Will he win?"
"No, no need to win. Just not losing is enough... As long as he doesn't lose, the Carefree Talisman can rise back, and I can make a huge profit from 'buying the dip' immediately!"
Soon, the result was revealed.
The concept dispersed. Lu Yang still stood calmly in place, his figure always shrouded in a layer of thin mist. Even the corners of his clothes were not damaged in the slightest.
Seeing this scene, Immortal Lord Qingyang was instantly stunned.
"Impossible..."
Before his voice fell, Lu Yang's figure had already appeared in front of him. Pointing with his fingers, rolling sword qi instantly pierced through Immortal Lord Qingyang's chest.
"Nothing is impossible."
If it were a normal battle, Immortal Lord Qingyang naturally couldn't be defeated by Lu Yang like this. However, to severely injure Lu Yang with one blow just now, he had drained all his spiritual power.
At this moment, he had no time to recover and was completely powerless to resist Lu Yang's sword qi. He could only watch helplessly as it pierced his chest.
"No—!"
At this moment, Immortal Lord Qingyang didn't even have time to care about Lu Yang in front of him or the injuries on his body. Instead, he immediately took out the jade slip used for trading.
Buy! Buy heavily into the Carefree Talisman!
As expected, the price rebounded... Regardless, buy it even at a high rebound price!
If he didn't buy now, he wouldn't be able to earn this money!
And because of the defeat in this battle, the Qingyang Immortal Talisman he issued would inevitably plummet as a result. The money he earned from speculating on the Carefree Talisman before might all be lost!
