Chapter 1696 - 947: Kunxu Charity Should Help Those Most in Need

In an information space of the Spirit Realm.

After Wang Hai arrived here, he noticed there were already many Soul Cultivators inside the space.

His gaze flashed, and he immediately recognized Lei Jun, who also came from Songyang High School, as well as former graduates Zhou Chechen and Lanling.

While Wang Hai was pondering, the three had already approached him, and Lei Jun was the first to speak, "Principal, do you know what’s happening now?"

Wang Hai shook his head and sighed, "I don’t know either. Suddenly, Zhao Tianxing said there’s something to announce, and threw me here."

Upon mentioning Zhao Tianxing, there was a strange look in the eyes of the few others.

They couldn’t fathom how Zhao Tianxing, who was unremarkable in the past and ultimately got into a college, had in all these years become a Divinity Transformation Soul Cultivator, and the top person under Zhang Yu.

And speaking of Zhang Yu, the hearts of everyone felt even more bewildered.

Though they had been held and lacked smooth communication, they already knew Zhang Yu had become a prominent figure within the Wanfa Sect, and many people expressed admiration and respect when mentioning Zhang Yu.

Zhou Chechen said, "I heard we were reported for impersonating Upper Realm Soul Cultivators..."

Lanling exclaimed excitedly, "I’m not, I didn’t impersonate!"

Wang Hai sighed, "We are probably caught up in sect struggles, and have been used."

Lei Jun said, "I heard Lord Zhang is in charge of this area now, could it be..."

Upon hearing this, Lanling felt uneasy, sometimes recalling the conflicts with Zhang Yu in high school, and other times thinking about how he kept flattering Zhang Yu in alumni groups after college, wondering how Zhang Yu would treat him.

Zhou Chechen honestly sighed in his heart, "Entering the sect, the past must be severed, not to mention my relationship with Zhang Yu, he couldn’t possibly protect me."

Lei Jun murmured, "As long as I’m not sent back to the sect, everything is negotiable, just leave me in the sect to do anything."

Wang Hai mentally sighed, sharing similar thoughts with Lei Jun at this moment.

In his view, who amongst everyone present didn’t share Lei Jun’s thoughts? As long as they could stay within the sect to catch a glimpse of the Immortal Dao Peak, they were willing to bear any cost.

While everyone’s thoughts varied, they suddenly sensed a wave sweep through their minds, projecting them into reality.

In an instant, countless eyes and camera lenses turned towards them.

And up front at the main seat, a familiar figure was looking at them.

Wang Hai’s heart trembled, "Is that...Lord Zhang?"

Elsewhere, Ji Yuanshu and Ping Han stood together, their hearts also trembling.

Seeing the various titles on Zhang Yu’s head, such as Kunxu Heroes, Old Salary King, Ten Thousand Laws Divine Sword, and others they knew or didn’t know, Ji Yuanshu felt as if staring at an exalted deity, with not a speck of defiance in his heart.

"Never thought I’d see Zhang Yu again in my lifetime."

On the other hand, Ping Han directly fell to his knees, trembling as he said, "Lord Zhang, I’m innocent..."

Lanling directly lunged to the ground, crawling step by step towards Zhang Yu, "Lord Zhang, I’m genuinely just a Lower Realm Soul Cultivator brought in, I truly didn’t intend to impersonate an Upper Realm Soul Cultivator..."

Seeing chaos about to erupt at the scene, Zhao Tianxing had already shouted, "Enough, Lord Zhang is here, how can you disrupt order like this? Stand properly, Lord Zhang dislikes people kneeling around."

Speaking simultaneously, Zhao Tianxing readied a Spirit Realm talisman, prepared to control them to prevent a broadcast accident.

Seeing Lanling, Ping Han, and others all standing obediently, Zhao Tianxing realized he’d saved a talisman.

At this moment, Zhang Yu turned to the camera and said, "The confusion between Upper Realm and Lower Realm Soul Cultivators is my fault as the Minister of Netherworld Properties..."

After a public address of self-reflection, Zhang Yu resumed looking at the many Lower Realm Soul Cultivators, speaking, "I will personally fund their resurrection..."

Hearing these words, Lanling’s heart shook, "Why resurrect me? I’ve managed to die into the sect, why revive me? I can’t find work alive!"

Lei Jun’s heart also shook, followed by an honest sigh, "Indeed...Zhang Yu has entered the sect, how could he keep in mind those of us from the bottom level?"

And Zhang Yu continued, "...After resurrection, each will be returned to their original level..."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt increasingly bitter.

"Return?" Ji Yuanshu thought secretly, "Being sent back by Zhang Yu, who dare let me ascend again? Only while Zhang Yu is here, no one would dare let me enter the sect again."

The road to climbing the Immortal Dao Peak had been severed, plunging Ji Yuanshu and others into despair.

Lanling continued to kneel and pleaded, "Lord Zhang, I beg for your mercy, as long as you let me stay in the sect, I’m willing to do anything."

Zhou Chechen sensed the dense Yin Qi in the Old Graveyard, along with a faint Immortal Qi, and abruptly exclaimed, "Lanling, stop begging him! These Upper Cultivators only care about their own Immortal Road, how would they care about the lives of Lower Cultivators?"

Saying this, he raised his head to Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, do you dare make a bet with me, within ten years..."

Zhou Chechen knew begging these Upper Cultivators was futile, he eyed the surrounding cameras, wanting to stir some hype, provoke Zhang Yu, hoping to find that one chance at the moment when his Immortal Road severed...

Yet Zhang Yu said nothing.

Only Zhao Tianxing exclaimed, "Do you presume to gamble with Lord Zhang?"

In the next moment, divine lights descended, Zhou Chechen had successfully resurrected, transforming into a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the stage.
