Chapter 1632 - 927: Changing Tides (Part 3)

"Have you old folks become so decadent that you don’t even have the guts anymore?"

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu sighed, "This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, are we really just going to watch helplessly?"

Bu Yuan Gui did not answer but scrutinized Bu Yingshu and said, "Why do you want to help Zhang Yu so much?"

"No way! I’m not trying to help him! He froze my Law Chain in the testing ground! I’d love to crush him with one stomp!"

After Bu Yingshu finished speaking, she turned and left, shouting, "I just can’t stand ’Four-Hour Work’ and ’Paid Overtime’! Such Law Chains should have been frozen long ago!"

Bu Yuan Gui secretly thought to himself, "As if you’ve ever worked overtime. My foolish daughter, there’s no need for us to get involved in this matter."

Bu Yingshu secretly thought, "Father can’t help at all, it seems I have to rely on myself."

...

Meanwhile, Ban Jincheng and Si Shian were trying to gather dirt on Zhang Yu.

But in doing so, Ban Jincheng was surprised to find, "This Zhang Yu, except for being too good to his subordinates and giving Soul Cultivators a pay raise, has almost no other dirt on him? Even when he gave money to poor people in the Lower Realm, it turned out it was actually for Wanfa University’s profit."

"No tax evasion, no embezzlement or bribery, every promotion was clear and every achievement unquestionable... Impossible, I don’t believe there is such a clean person in Kunxu, this only means we haven’t found out, Zhang Yu was well prepared."

Si Shian, standing by, coldly snorted and said, "Of course he was prepared. Such a major matter as Law Chain management, how could he not have been strategically planning? It was long secretly prepared to come at us."

"But this matter concerns the interests of countless Cultivators within the sect, we’re not the only ones opposing."

Si Shian’s gaze flashed as he looked at the lines of information in front of him, smiling, "Others have also stepped in."

As an Ascension Stage Cultivator, who once served as a legislative judge, Yiyao Sheng from the pharmaceutical company publicly spoke, "Zhang Yu, I advise you not to be so impetuous. Restricting Law Chains isn’t that simple, the matter of choice layers needs long-term planning. Don’t provoke sect conflicts for personal gain, making everyone unable to profit..."

On the other side, Si Xu Xiao, the Pavilion Master of Yufa Pavilion and a Level 7 Sect Official, also said, "If we talk about Law Chains, let’s just talk about Law Chains, don’t throw labels around lightly, or stir up sentiments of the Lower Cultivators..."

As numerous Cultivators successively stepped in to criticize and oppose Zhang Yu, naturally, there were Cultivators who spoke up in support of him as well.

Dugu Ming said, "Law Chain management is the trend of the era; the chaos of Law Chains within the sect has reached an unmanageable state, and no one can stop it."

Su Xianchen: "The emergence of Third Generation Laws marks the arrival of a new era, whoever takes the lead in this new era will gain an advantage in sect competition."

Seeing the intense conflict within Wanfa Sect, Lie Jinghong couldn’t help but speak up.

He secretly thought, "Each one of them using various pretexts, ostensibly criticizing Zhang Yu, but in reality, aren’t they just slapping the face of the Immortal Emperor? Truly a bunch of fools!"

But Lie Jinghong knew that when speaking out, he could not involve the Immortal Emperor, or else his comments might be deleted or, worse, he could be silenced.

So Lie Jinghong said, "Are those criticizing Zhang Yu truly criticizing Zhang Yu? After the implementation of the Effective Period of Laws, who will review the Law Chains, who will decide their fate, do you not know? I think you are just against the sect and against the Immortals..."

Meanwhile, Ying Aikun also appeared in the Spirit Realm at some point, accepting an interview from the Netherworld Palace.

"Zhang Yu’s Immortal Inheritance was snatched from my hands."

Ying Aikun said with grief and indignation, "According to inheritance laws, this Immortal Inheritance should belong to us descendants..."

Watching Ying Aikun’s interview, Zhan Xian coldly snorted and said, "The Dual Cultivation Duty, Reproductive Duty...the Law Chains that the Taizhen Immortal Clan forcibly inserted during Dao struggles should now be crushed one by one to return peace to Wanfa Sect."

Zhang Yu secretly thought, "Besides the Full-time Immortal series, is the Taizhen Immortal Clan also the primary target for elimination?"

Zhang Yu understood that although the Taizhen Immortal Clan had been purged once, Yun Taizhen, after all, was from Wanfa Sect and had influenced the establishment of many Law Chains while in power. Even now, a large number of Law Chains are still in effect, and these legislators are intricately connected to various factions’ interests.

It was precisely because of these interest connections that the past Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor did not conduct a purge, but now...

"It may not necessarily be about purging; perhaps it’s about reaping the benefits."

Meanwhile, Lie Jinghong left a message in the Law Realm, "External sect forces have jumped out! Supporting the unhealthy trends within the sect through such interviews, and you still say there’s no external sect aid?"

And soon, new offensives from the opposition also arrived one by one.

First was the debt issue, Zhang Yu’s debt collection information was continuously sent out, not only to Zhang Yu but also to the desks of his colleagues, superiors, and subordinates, quickly sparking new hotspots.

"Is Zhang Yu trapped in a millennium debt poison?"

"Millennium debt poison, difficult to suppress? Is everything Zhang Yu has done for resolving this debt poison?"

Confronting the issue, Zhang Yu directly stated, "That’s right, for legislation, I voluntarily took on the debt of a millennium’s computational power."

"But I’ll say it here today: for the sect, for pushing forward the construction of new-generation laws, don’t just say a millennium, even ten thousand years! Even if it means I go bankrupt or have to reincarnate, I will change it to the end!"

Facing the concern from Magnetic Pole, Old Gao, and others, Zhang Yu said, "Don’t worry, it’s nothing, just a trivial debt poison; how could the salary ability I’ve honed through years of promotion not suppress it? If not, wouldn’t I have worked these years in vain?"

But Zhang Yu knew he couldn’t rely on his salary ability alone to suppress the debt poison inside him.

He looked at his still effective tax exemption certificate, secretly thinking, "In the testing ground, for the sake of legislation, using this tax exemption, to rid myself of the debt poison next, I’ll have to rely on this thing."

However, at this moment, there was still no one coming to cooperate with Zhang Yu on this matter.

Zhang Yu also understood that he had to hold on until the moment public opinion reversed, which is when cooperation could start.

And as the struggle within Wanfa Sect became increasingly fierce, Zhang Yu also felt the growing heavy pressure.

Whether it’s the business of the Netherworld Property Department, the projects of the Soul Cultivation Company, or his own business, all were being suppressed.

In both the Spirit Realm and the Law Realm, the voices of criticism and opposition against him were also growing louder, increasingly gaining the upper hand.

Zhang Yu knew this was inevitable, given that factions opposing the "Effective Period of Laws" naturally held the majority within the sect.

With external pressure still unresolved and the Immortal Emperor yet to take action, Zhang Yu being at a disadvantage was also only natural.

To repay the debt interest, Zhang Yu also had to sell off various assets stored within his Immortal Cave Heaven.

And with the boycott against Zhang Yu’s Soul Cultivation business, the originally rapidly growing number of Soul Cultivators in the company also began to decline, with some even leaving for other companies to seek employment.

Seeing this scene, Ban Jincheng and Si Shian were secretly elated, "It seems we don’t need more intense measures to suppress Zhang Yu."

"Under the external sect pressure, even the Immortal Emperor wouldn’t dare to go against the world and forcefully push through Law Chain management."

"With Zhang Yu’s cash flow, he won’t last long. In another month or two... even before the Law Chain pilot officially begins enforcement, I see him admitting defeat voluntarily."

Just as Zhang Yu’s disadvantage became more evident, a piece of news from the Vajra Sect swept through the entire Kunxu like a storm.

Seeing the content of the news, Ban Jincheng’s face changed dramatically, "Vajra Sect? Legislative Fruition?"

Si Shian, beside him, felt his mana shake violently, and despite the continuous infusion of magic medicine, he could not calm his mind.

"A change is coming."
