Chapter 1651 - 933: The True Shape of Kunxu, Law Chain Origin Point

Upon hearing Zhang Yu propose to increase the price, Su Lingyou’s eyes flashed with understanding, and she felt that Zhang Yu’s behavior was much more normal.

On the other side, Kuang Tianqing also noticed and thought to himself, "Hehe... Seems like I was overthinking it, this is normal. How can a cultivator climb to the position of Level 6 Sect Affairs Officer and still have that kind of naive ancient thinking?"

Kuang Tianqing then asked, "So... Lord Zhang, what do you want?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "According to my character setup, I should at least bargain for Le Mulan’s sake to meet their expectations and make it seem more reasonable, right?"

Upon hearing Kuang Tianqing’s answer, Zhang Yu continued, "Just like the last batch of Evil Gods, I want two portions."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu immediately ask for double the payment, Kuang Tianqing slightly furrowed his brows but still nodded, saying, "It’s not up to me. I need to ask the higher-ups..."

Zhang Yu continued with the second condition, "I also require half the payment upfront."

Kuang Tianqing immediately rejected, "That’s impossible!"

Zhang Yu insisted, "In doing such things, I also need to take a considerable risk. Moreover, there’s a chance of failure; you can’t expect me to take such risks and end up with nothing if I fail, right? You must give me half the reward in advance."

Seeing Kuang Tianqing still wanting to argue, Zhang Yu directly waved his hand and said, "You just report my demands, your higher-ups will agree."

Kuang Tianqing hesitated for a moment but, seeing Zhang Yu’s serious expression, he still complied.

Zhan Xian slightly nodded in his heart and said, "Not bad, Le Mulan is indeed of major importance to the Reincarnation Group nowadays. Raising the price appropriately, they will likely agree."

"We need the means to kill and the connection to Le Mulan without arousing suspicion... We might be one of the few candidates."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "But this task is impossible for me to complete. Better to stabilize the Reincarnation Group and first get some benefits in hand."

He naturally would not follow the Reincarnation Group’s request to send Le Mulan to reincarnation.

However, Zhang Yu also understood that simply refusing would only lead the Reincarnation Group to find others and other ways to accomplish this.

"Rather than... letting others do it, it’s better for me to go with the flow and first rescue Le Mulan."

At this moment, Zhang Yu had already decided to first gain control of Le Mulan, and then negotiate slowly with the Reincarnation Group.

"After all, the Reincarnation Group just doesn’t want widespread extension of life among Soul Cultivators to occur."

"As long as I can prevent this, then there is room for negotiations."

Moreover, Zhang Yu believed that with his current identity, given his importance in Wanfa Sect’s legislative reforms, he has quite a few negotiation chips with the Reincarnation Group.

A moment later, Kuang Tianqing seemed to receive a reply, a bit surprised, looked at Zhang Yu and said, "The higher-ups agreed, they will send over two Evil Gods."

Seeing Zhang Yu appear as if he had expected this, Kuang Tianqing couldn’t help but speculate madly in his heart, "What exactly happened to Le Mulan that makes the higher-ups value it so much? Zhang Yu hasn’t even taken action, yet they’re willing to pay him upfront?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Should I raise the price again? Forget it, asking for too much, if the task fails later... it might increase negotiation difficulty, adding trouble."

For Zhang Yu at this moment, the main purpose is still to first rescue Le Mulan, the reward is just incidental.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu said in his mind, "The next question is how to rescue Le Mulan, do any of you have ideas?"

Kao Sect Avatar said, "Right, Le Mulan no matter what is a cultivator of my Wanfa Sect! How can we listen to the words of these Reincarnation Dogs, harming our fellows?"

The God of Reporting thought to myself, "Hmph, not harming our fellows? I see it as Le Mulan can bring greater returns, which is why Zhang Yu wants to control Le Mulan. If my previous guess is correct, then this Le Mulan’s Dao Seed is remarkable, is it another ultra-high risk Dao Seed?"

Zhan Xian said, "The key is... how to make the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor believe that even if Le Mulan lives, the large-scale extension of soul cultivation won’t happen. This is not a simple matter, for a powerhouse at the Immortal Emperor level, trust is of little value, control is the optimal choice..."

Xiang Shen said, "So... what exactly happened with Le Mulan?"

While Zhang Yu and the others were discussing strategies in their mind, Kuang Tianqing also brought the two Evil Gods, transformed them into Black Pearls and handed them to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu operated the Heaven-covering Concealing Demon Great Method to take the two Evil Gods into his shadow, temporarily suppressing them and waiting for Fu Ji to wake up before feeding them.

The thought of Fu Ji waking up and having breakfast ready made Xiang Shen feel a slight tinge of jealousy, secretly vowed to perform more diligently in the future, striving for a chance to eat some leftovers at the table.

Kuang Tianqing urged, "Lord Zhang, if possible, please hurry to the 16th floor to find Le Mulan, there could be changes any time, delaying could bring troubles."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I understand."

Thus, the next moment, Zhang Yu left the Old Graveyard, returned to the center area of the 11th floor called Central Extreme Heaven, and rushed skyward towards the 16th floor.

At the same time, Zhang Yu contacted Bu Yingshu and asked, "Lord Bu Xuan, have you found Le Mulan’s location?"

Looking at Zhang Yu’s message, though Bu Yingshu had only managed to gather the whereabouts of Le Mulan, without understanding the specific situation, he did not want to show weakness in front of Zhang Yu.
