Chapter 1432 - 866: Power in Hand, Life and Death at a Thought

Although very curious about the specific situation on Le Mulan’s side, Zhang Yu knew that he had to oversee the overall situation at the Old Graveyard and had no time to deal with matters elsewhere.

At this moment, a message crossed over from the Spirit Realm, directly appearing in front of Zhang Yu.

Silently and noiselessly, without fanfare, a document granting the authority of unlimited salary increase was placed before Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu understood that this was deliberately done by the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor to prevent competitors from having any time to react, catching them off guard.

As Zhang Yu held the document in his hand, the unlimited salary increase authority granted by the Wanfa Sect had merged with him.

At this moment, two big characters appeared in his eyes – Increase! Salary!

As Zhang Yu focused his thoughts on it, the entire image of the Old Graveyard also emerged before him.

The Netherworld Property Department, Soul Cultivation Company, Joint Venture Company... all the names and details of the sect affairs officers managed by Zhang Yu first appeared before him.

Then came the serial numbers, names, and details of all outsourced cultivators and soul cultivators.

Next was the salary data of all of them, along with the specific composition of the salaries.

All of this was within Zhang Yu’s perception.

At this moment, what appeared before Zhang Yu no longer seemed to be individuals, but represented different expenditures.

Zhang Yu felt that within this Old Graveyard... as long as he wished, he could adjust the salaries over the heads of countless cultivators under his jurisdiction, increasing them at will.

In an instant, he could make a cultivator immensely wealthy in the future, greatly enhancing their Immortal Dao potential.

With a single thought, he could also make a soul cultivator’s money for the coming month enough to be reborn and live another life.

In a fit of anger, he could even reset a sect affairs officer’s salary to zero, making them an entity with no salary.

At this moment, Zhang Yu could feel the Immortal Dao potential, cultivation growth, life and death of countless cultivators... all at his whim.

"Unlimited salary increase, though named as a salary increase, actually includes the adjustment of salaries up and down."

"Within the sect, this is practically the power over life and death... No, it’s more terrifying than the power over life and death. In Kunxu, where money can buy almost everything, this is the authority that can make the living die and the dead live."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu unconsciously lifted his head and saw a string of salary amounts and salary compositions above his head.

He could feel that as long as he reached up and adjusted some of those numbers, he could become immensely wealthy the next time he received his salary.

This wonderful feeling made Zhang Yu involuntarily feel intoxicated.

"If you do not betray me, I will not betray you."

At this moment, the Kao Sect Avatar recited a message from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor in Zhang Yu’s mind, which was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, quickly bringing him back to his senses.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "With this power, and with the push towards the Immortal Dao, it’s no wonder few can resist."

After a sigh, Zhang Yu shook his head, then called Yu Xinghan, Ye Xingli, and other important cultivators under him like Magnetic Pole and Qingmu into a meeting room.

Looking at these cultivators who had followed him all the way up from the lower realm, Zhang Yu circulated his mana for a cycle, then said, "Everyone, I have just received the unlimited salary increase authority granted by the higher-ups of the Wanfa Sect."

Then Zhang Yu briefly introduced the function of this authority.

Accompanying Zhang Yu’s words, the scene fell silent.

Yu Xinghan murmured, "Increase first, report later? Special approval from the Immortal Emperor? The higher-ups actually passed this down?"

Magnetic Pole was initially overjoyed but quickly turned serious, asking, "Zhang Yu, how do you plan to use this salary increase authority?"

Meanwhile, Shi Huaiyu, Jin Jun, and Bei Wufeng, upon hearing Zhang Yu’s words, were all eager and couldn’t help but smile.

Shi Huaiyu’s mind was filled with excitement: "With this authority, can’t Minister Zhang give us a salary increase at will? Then I can restock, as the old saying goes, ’A gentleman is never late to restock,’ I never thought I could still wait for a salary increase to restock in the sect..."

Jin Jun became excited, "Minister Zhang called us here, could it be that he’s directly going to give us a raise? How much will it increase? Double? Tenfold?"

Bei Wufeng glanced at everyone present and nodded slightly in his heart, "It seems this secret salary increase does not include demon descendants."

But at the next moment, Yu Xinghan suddenly spoke, saying something that surprised them all.

"Minister Zhang, I hope that while you hold this power, you will not increase the salaries of yourself and anyone present."

Upon hearing Yu Xinghan’s words, some were surprised, some were taken aback, and some were deep in thought.

Zhang Yu was momentarily stunned, then nodded appreciatively, saying, "This is what I wanted to talk to you all about today."

"This power granted by the Immortal Emperor is meant to expand the Law Realm, help us capture the Soul Cultivation Market, not for us to profit personally."

"So this authority, I’ve decided to temporarily only use it on the frontline soul cultivators."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s decision, many present felt disappointed, but with Zhang Yu’s current status and prestige, none dared to voice opposition.

Zhang Yu continued, "So after I raise the salaries for the soul cultivators, do not ask me about salary increases for others, and do not speak on behalf of anyone..."
