Chapter 1635 - 929: An Immortal Emperor’s Special Gift, the Ten Thousand Laws Divine Sword

If Ban Jincheng wasn’t faced with a desperate situation, he naturally wouldn’t want to surrender, wouldn’t want to admit defeat, wouldn’t want to give up.

But watching his company’s stock price plummet continuously, watching his assets evaporate unceasingly, watching friends one by one blacklisting him...

He felt as if he was being crushed by a pair of large hands on his Dantian and Primordial Spirit, watching as his Immortal Path potential collapsed and dissipated bit by bit.

And the relationships, connections, Immortal Veins he had established in the past... all abandoned him without hesitation, even wanting to bite a piece off him.

Even when he asked Heavenly Question Star how to counter the "Effective Period of Laws," the other party answered him: I can’t answer you for now, let’s change the topic.

"Even the membership fee was paid in vain, who can be trusted?"

At this point, Ban Jincheng thoroughly recognized reality, the overall situation was settled.

In the situation of seeking help everywhere to no avail, Ban Jincheng finally thought of Zhang Yu.

"Shall I just kill him?"

Ban Jincheng’s heart also had murderous intent, after all, theoretically... killing someone only requires compensation, but having his laws frozen would be a catastrophe causing his family to be ruined.

But this thought stayed in his mind only for a moment, before he completely discarded it.

"No, he’s now very popular, I don’t even know how many people would protect him, even if I kill him, I’m afraid many would be willing to pay for his resurrection, and afterwards I’d face reckoning and revenge."

"I still have to find a way to plead with him."

"At least I need to plead before Si Shian, ask Zhang Yu to freeze Si Shian’s ’Four-Hour Work’ law next year, and then later to freeze my law."

According to the information Ban Jincheng obtained, Zhang Yu needed to research the underlying technical principles of a law first before using the True Domain of Laws to cover it when freezing another’s laws.

The other party needs to research and then cover the law first, this process will definitely consume a lot of time.

"In this way, there’s a lot to be said about the order of freezing laws."

In Ban Jincheng’s view, in Kunxu, the fear isn’t the death of a person, but the inability to earn money and participate in Kunxu’s economic activities; that is truly dead.

"Even an Immortal, unless reaching the realm where all beings become a useless class, otherwise... if not seeking external resources, not participating in Kunxu governance, not having assets grow and expand, then it is still dead."

In Ban Jincheng’s eyes, it’s like a cultivator refusing to breathe and refusing to absorb the spiritual mechanisms of heaven and earth.

The deeper one engages in Kunxu’s economic activities, the greater the profits absorbed, just like the body’s stronger ability to absorb nutrients, the higher the efficiency of breathing in spiritual mechanisms on the Immortal Path, which is the common pursuit of all beings.

And now, with the overall situation settled and laws bound to be frozen, Ban Jincheng seems to only have one way left to preserve his interests...

"How should I plead with Zhang Yu?"

Various materials about Zhang Yu quickly surfaced in Ban Jincheng’s mind.

He soon thought of Zhang Yu’s nostalgia, the care for old subordinates and old classmates, the protection of Lower Realm Cultivators.

Last time, it was because of this weakness of the other party that he chose Shi Yunxiang to act.

This time, he can similarly leverage this weakness by employing Shi Yunxiang again.

Seeing Ban Jincheng kneeling to Shi Yunxiang first, then kowtowing to Zhang Yu calling him dad, Fu Ji derisively remarked: "Kneeling and calling dad to plead? How could there be such a cheap way to get something done!"

Zhang Yu merely cast a faint glance at Ban Jincheng and then turned his head to look at another side.

In Spirit Realm vision, Si Shian was kowtowing with five parts of his body prostrated, shouting loudly: "Grandfather, please save your grandson."

Zhang Yu thought darkly: "These guys... really don’t surprise me at all."

In Zhang Yu’s view, this surrendering, begging, and betrayal among the Sect Affairs Officers of the Kunxu Upper Realm were simply trivial matters.

As Zhang Yu’s thought moved, his Spirit Realm vision was shared with both parties.

Suddenly, Ban Jincheng and Si Shian saw each other’s presence: "What are you doing here?"

"Didn’t we agree not to surrender?"

"You secretly approached Lord Zhang to negotiate without telling me?"

The exchange between the two completed in an instant, and the next moment Ban Jincheng lunged forward, clutching Zhang Yu’s leg: "Taoist Lord! This person’s ’Four-Hour Work’ law has long stirred up wrath and unrest within the sect; it must be frozen!"

On the other side, Si Shian sneered: "Ban Jincheng, you cling to thighs? Pretend to be pitiful? Such audacity, aren’t you trying to avoid spending a penny, and just plead for Lord Zhang to handle it?"

Upon speaking, Si Shian, still prostrating, promptly wired 500,000 Immortal Coins, saying: "Lord Zhang! Ban Jincheng doesn’t know how much Immortal Coin he has embezzled in secret with his ’Paid Overtime’, earning money rightfully belonging to the Immortal Emperor and the immortals. He’s the one whose law should first be frozen to set an example!"

Watching both sides suddenly erupt into chaos, undermining each other, exposing each other’s faults, while constantly transferring money to him, Zhang Yu directly shouted and then said: "Stop it, all of you!"

"I’ve reported your transactions already, I won’t take a penny."

When Zhang Yu said these words, his heart bled.

But he understood that since he was pushed out by the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor to establish the "Effective Period of Laws," and was now the focus of all, he absolutely couldn’t accept money from other legislative cultivators.

"Otherwise, it would be disrespecting the Immortal Emperor’s dignity..."

Sighing inwardly, Zhang Yu said sternly: "I am a loyal minister of the Ten Thousand Laws, how could I neglect the Immortal Emperor’s broader strategy, help you because you gave money in the matter of freezing laws? Don’t mention this again, whoever mentions it again, I’ll freeze his law first next year."
