Chapter 1681: Chapter 942: Minister Zhang Shouldering the Burden, Zhang Yu Split Three Ways

“I’m Wen Wuya from the Sky Sword Sect, and I’ve cultivated with Minister Zhang too.”

Then more messages from the Spirit Realm came pouring in: “I’m Wang Yin from the Netherworld Palace, and I’ve also trained with Minister Zhang.”

“I’m Ying Mingchi from the Sky Demon Sect. Minister Zhang exchanged essence blood with me when he was in the Lower Realm…”

Seeing these messages from the Outer Sect, Zhang Yu was taken aback: “Who notified them?”

Shortly after, messages from within the sects arrived.

From the Yufa Pavilion’s Audit Department, Zhang Yu’s old minister, Gu Qingya, sent a message: “When Zhang Yu was in Yufa Pavilion, we cultivated together, and he learned how to socialize upwards.”

From level 16, Si Shian and Ban Jincheng: “When Minister Zhang saw us this year, he immediately aligned downwards and cultivated with us.”

Witnessing this scene, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Ye Xingli’s eyes: “No wonder… Junior brother, to lessen our burden, hasn’t had a single break in these years, and no wonder he never sought dual cultivation with me.”

Seeing all these incoming messages, Zhan Xian sighed, as if witnessing one cultivator after another standing in front of Zhang Yu to shield him.

Zhan Xian said, “Zhang Yu… unbeknownst to you, you have already garnered such influence.”

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “Did these guys receive the news here so quickly?”

Fu Ji said: “It seems like it’s Wen Wuya spreading the news everywhere. This guy happens to be in the Old Graveyard, practicing the Shocking Sword Dao, observing us every day, and reporting our news…”

“Hmph, many who heard the news probably just want to put on a show in front of us. Some of the broke ones might even want to take advantage of us by making a pretense into reality!”

Meanwhile, Fu Ji thought to herself: “Is Wen Wuya’s dedication entirely of his own volition? Or is it Bai Zhenzhen orchestrating from behind?”

Zhang Yu had to admit, seeing so many people standing up for him, he felt a tinge of sentiment, but simultaneously… a tinge of awkwardness: “Damn it… honestly, you could just transfer some funds to me directly, and you wouldn’t even need to send these messages…”

Whilst Zhang Yu was pondering this, he saw the projections of Magnetic Pole and Old Gao join together: “We testify…”

The instant they spoke, Zhang Yu was shocked, yelling internally: “No, please! You two teachers, don’t…”

Magnetic Pole and Old Gao said: “Zhang Yu has loved dual cultivation since he was a child. In university, he was a famously talented dual cultivator, and after coming to the sect, he never gave up on this hobby, always quietly working on it…”

Hearing the two speak with such pride, Zhang Yu was helpless, internally mumbling over and over: “Stop it… everyone please stop…”

Witnessing all of this, doubts rose in Zhu Yan’s heart as well.

Is he truly here to curb the sect’s misconduct? Or has he targeted the Ten Thousand Laws Branch Hall of the Joyful Union Sect?

Seeing Zhang Yu seemingly having no misconduct issues, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of doubt himself, wondering if he’d wronged a diligent Sect Affairs Officer…

However, this thought quickly vanished.

Because Zhu Yan knew, whether Zhang Yu is wronged or not doesn’t matter.

“For the greater cause… even if you’re truly wronged, so what?”

Yet Zhu Yan understood that involving so many Sect Affairs Officers at once today, especially from multiple outer sects, a single error might cause surprise among allied sects, significantly increasing the difficulty of the investigation, and greatly diminishing the legitimacy of this operation.

“If we continue to forcibly take Zhang Yu away…”

Glancing at Bu Yingshu to the side, Zhu Yan coldly said, “Minister Zhang, this matter won’t end just like this. We will continue to investigate the specifics.”

While speaking, Zhu Yan gave Zhang Yu a deep look, as if signaling that he would always keep an eye on him.

Zhu Yan thought to himself: “A new Taoist inheritance is about to be born. What does this so-called sect’s legal reform count for in front of that? Ultimately, it must give way to the Taoist inheritance. Just how long can you, Zhang Yu, hold out?”

The next moment, as Zhu Yan turned and left, those in the office displayed a faint smile.

But watching Zhu Yan’s back, Zhang Yu knew this was far from over.

“Is this just the first method?” Zhang Yu contemplated: “After the legislation truly passes tomorrow, I fear there will be endless struggles to follow. Unless… I freeze all their law chains.”

As he pondered, Zhang Yu’s thoughts moved, and he added Zhu Yan’s information to his collection, along with the information of Ban Jincheng, Si Shian, and others.

At this moment, Bu Yingshu had somehow come up beside Zhang Yu, extending her hand: “Give it to me.”

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned: “What?”

Bu Yingshu said: “Your Yang Artifact, put it with me. From now on, just say it’s being used by me every day, ensuring the Dual Cultivation Support Department won’t bother you again.”

Fu Ji exclaimed in shock: “Oh no, Zhang Yu, this woman saw what happened today; she truly wants to exert control over you harshly.”
