Chapter 1435 - 867: Old Salary King!

"Wang Overtime! Openly promoting high-salary ideology in the work group, inciting Soul Cultivators to choose jobs based on salary!"

"Li Xinxin! Blindly comparing salaries on social media, creating wage anxiety!"

"Zhao Youye! Publicly advocating salary supremacy logic, maligning normal employment systems! Disrespecting industry rules!"

As one after another Soul Cultivator’s charges were announced, the Soul Cultivators being brought up started to plead for mercy.

"I’m a tenth-generation company ghost! The company is my home, I’m a born ghost of the company, I didn’t compare salaries..."

"I sacrificed my physical body for the sect, you have no right to judge me!"

"Even the True Gods know I’m poor, so poor that I haven’t topped up Spirit Realm data for ages. How can I speak out? How to promote? You can’t wrong poor ghosts like this!"

Yet none of the cultivators present paid any mind to their pleas and defenses, and the audience in the live stream couldn’t see or hear the words of these Soul Cultivators.

"Punish! Punish! Punish! Punish! Punish!"

Xiao Yunhe listed the Soul Cultivators’ violations one by one, finally shouting, "...the facts of violating company regulations are clear, and the evidence is compelling. After ruling, the penalty is salary punishment, to be executed immediately."

"Cut your wages!"

As Xiao Yunhe pointed out, the selected Soul Cultivators screamed in misery, their hearts filled with terror.

But the next moment, a registration invitation appeared before them.

With the registration approved, Zhang Yu’s figure crossed the Spirit Realm and descended with a booming presence.

"Increase your salary!"

If seeing Soul Cultivators having their salaries removed just now made countless viewers feel chilled and terrified.

Then with Zhang Yu’s arrival, and his salary-increasing actions for one Soul Cultivator after another, countless viewers were even more shocked.

"Zhang Yu!" Xiao Yunhe coldly shouted, "In broad daylight, in front of so many companies, so many sect enterprises, you dare to raise salaries for Soul Cultivators like this?! You are simply lawless!"

Zhang Yu calmly replied, "Xiao Yunhe! Lawless is you! Money can buy all talents, this is the Righteous Path of Kunxu, the Righteous Path of the sect. You who cannot afford it, are the ones against the Immortal Path! Against Kunxu! Against the sect!"

While speaking, the unlimited salary increase power within Zhang Yu erupted mightily, and as he pointed once again, one by one the newly registered Soul Cultivators received immediate salary increases on the spot.

Zhang Yu shouted, "Today I will tell the entire Old Graveyard, the Soul Cultivators you don’t want, I will take! The salaries you remove, I will increase! The money you can’t afford, I will pay!"

"If you can’t afford it... then get out of here, I still need to keep recruiting."

Xiao Yunhe, Xie Lanyin, and other Sect Affairs Officers were shocked watching this scene, their hearts filled with fury and murderous intent.

Xie Lanyin coldly stated, "Rebellion! It’s total rebellion! You, a Level 5 Sect Affairs Officer, a Cultivator not even at Refining Void, dare to say and do such things?"

"If you get promoted two more levels, will you also dare alleviate poverty? Want to donate magnanimously? Evade taxes? You are simply treasonous!"

Meanwhile, as the confrontation continued, the number of people in the live stream kept growing.

Feng Tingting, who was watching the live stream, began to commentate: "The battle has begun! Minister Zhang and Chairman Xiao are now officially at war!"

"Chairman Xiao’s Salary Removal Divine Light is invincible within the Old Graveyard."

"But this time, facing Minister Zhang’s Fire of Salary Increase, he is cautious and blocked everywhere! It’s because Salary Removal Divine Light is inherently countered by the Fire of Salary Increase, and it seems Minister Zhang might cross two realms here, attacking from the Divinity Transformation stage against Tribulation Crossing!"

As Feng Tingting explained, she saw a large number of barrage comments from the Sky Sword Sect flooding in.

"This will burn until the Small Realm is obliterated!"

"Wow! Why didn’t you say it earlier!"

"To witness such an exciting battle, it’s worth it even if I deplete my data!"

Watching the growing number of barrages and viewers, Feng Tingting thought to herself that she made the right choice, as these cultivators from the Sky Sword Sect indeed enjoy this style.

At the scene, Xiao Yunhe gazed at Zhang Yu’s confident demeanor and sensed something was amiss.

Especially seeing the number of live viewers still surging, he felt the underlying risk.

But Xiao Yunhe understood, even if he shut down the live stream now, Zhang Yu could continue.

So Xiao Yunhe coldly said to Zhang Yu, "Zhang Yu, do you know the consequences of your actions? This malicious salary raising, do you know how much damage it will cause? How many stock prices will plummet?"

Xiao Yunhe questioned, "This is your so-called Ten Thousand Cities Peace? What of the common people in this Old Graveyard’s Small Realm?"

Zhang Yu snorted coldly, "You are worthy to speak of common people with me? When the heavens collapsed, the weight of the Old Graveyard rested on my shoulders! The entire Soul Cultivation industry was saved by me! Eternal Peace is not yours to claim!"

"The Soul Cultivation industry in the Old Graveyard has always been in an era of salary suppression, with all the inefficiencies and low quality... all these issues from salary suppression, hence they are gradually surpassed by High Intelligent Artifact Spirits."

"I’m not doing this for myself, but to change the entire Soul Cultivation industry, to pass the flame of Wanfa’s salary! To bring about the Eternal Peace!"

After speaking, Zhang Yu’s salary figures and structure floated above his head.

"I ask for a salary without guilt."

This open display of his salary and the transparency of salary structure was Zhang Yu’s resolved decision to show his commitment not to misuse salary increase power.

Watching this scene, Xiao Yunhe’s heart chilled: "We ensure salary stability and create a business-friendly environment, that’s Ten Thousand Cities Peace! If you keep increasing salaries like this, how many companies will be crushed? Bankrupted?"

Zhang Yu: "Then let them go! If they don’t run a company, there are plenty of people who will!"

"In all of Kunxu, are there not enough people wanting to start a business to make money?!"

After speaking, Zhang Yu turned to the live stream camera and said, "I announce that now all Soul Cultivators registering as new users can immediately enjoy the same salary increase policy, just like those who received increases within our company before, they have the chance to earn a higher share..."

"And now, existing users who invite new users to register can also get bonuses."

This bonus was naturally allocated from the revenue share of Soul Cultivators.

While he spoke, the specific rules had already turned into words appearing behind him, being transmitted to all text broadcast points for every viewer to see.

Watching this scene, Xiao Yunhe’s heart tightened, but he knew now that saying anything would not mean conceding.

Xiao Yunhe said, "Zhang Yu, no major sect will let you act so recklessly. This flame of yours won’t burn for long. The Soul Cultivators of the Old Graveyard are not fools, with salaries depleted and flame extinguished; no one will board your ship that’s doomed to sink!"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, "Xiao Yunhe, open your eyes wider and look clearly."

Xiao Yunhe was slightly stunned, then immediately adjusted the numerous blocks targeting Soul Cultivators.

In an instant, blinding flames rose into the sky.

With each Soul Cultivator registering as a new user, the salary increase notifications set by Zhang Yu descended across the Spirit Realm, turning into beams of rising flames.

Unbeknownst to them, these beams of salary flames had already covered large sections of the Soul Cultivators, appearing as a sea of flames in the Spirit Realm, the material world, and every corner of the Old Graveyard.

Particularly because inviting new registered users not only offered bonuses but also the previous Law Realm benefits, it encouraged registered users to keep inviting unregistered Soul Cultivators.

So each appearance of a salary flame would ignite even more salary flames around it.

Even making many high-level Cultivators furious, seeing Xiao Yunhe, Xie Lanyin, and others surrounded by flames, even their outsourced Soul Cultivators jumped ship.

Xie Lanyin shouted, "Zhang Yu, do you know that dividing so much money to Soul Cultivators will reduce the market’s overall profit by how much? No sect will let you go! Wanfa cannot protect you! Are you not afraid of the Immortals’ wrath, and billions being cut from your salary?"

Zhang Yu coldly said, "And what of the Immortals? Open your eyes and see clearly!"

Upon finishing, under Zhang Yu’s head, illuminated by countless salary flames, the words ’unlimited salary increase power’ appeared slowly.

Zhang Yu uttered word by word, "Raise first, report later, Immortal Emperor’s special permission!"

In an instant, numerous Soul Cultivators in the Spirit Realm seemed to cheer.

Numerous messages appeared under Zhang Yu’s account.

"Minister Zhang [Awesome]"

"Minister Zhang [Fire]"

"Old Salary King! [Fire]"
