Chapter 1699 - 948:

"Go and tell Zhang Yu! The Immortal Emperor is already so short of money. If he still dares to target the Immortal Emperor, I’ll have him flayed even if I have to report it to the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

"Don’t think that just because he has become the Ten Thousand Laws Divine Sword, he can do whatever he wants. As long as he hasn’t become an Immortal, he will forever be a dog of our Immortal Clan!"

"Tell him these words without missing a single word!"

With that said, Bu Aixian’s figure turned, and the projection gradually dissipated.

Upon hearing these words, a flicker of anger flashed in Bu Yingshu’s eyes.

"This guy..." Bu Yingshu thought to himself, "Zhang Yu is my dog alone! What does he have to do with you?"

At this moment, having also ascended to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, a hint of fighting spirit arose in Bu Yingshu’s heart: "Bu Yingshu, you are younger, more potential, and even more gifted than your aunt. Are you really willing to remain her junior for life?"

"Unleash your power and seize the position of aunt for yourself!"

But then, recalling Bu Aixian’s laws specifically governing the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan, Bu Yingshu had to temporarily swallow his anger and watch the other’s figure disappear.

"I’ll tell my father! Have Bu Yuan Gui come back and deal with you!"

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu immediately sent a message to his father: Dad! Bu Aixian refuses to cooperate with Zhang Yu in pushing for legal reform!

A moment later, Bu Yuan Gui said: I told you not to get too close to Zhang Yu. If he’s pushing for legal reform, why are you mingling in it?

Bu Yingshu: I’m doing this to ease the Immortal Emperor’s worries!

Looking at Bu Yingshu’s reply, Bu Yuan Gui thought to himself: "To ease the Immortal Emperor’s worries, there had better be some gain out of it, it can’t be for free."

"Zhang Yu... what exactly is he thinking? Is he really so confident that he can make these companies yield?"

Meanwhile, inside a Small Realm on the 16th floor.

Snake Desire Venerable laughed heartily: "Zhang Yu, oh Zhang Yu. I thought you had some clever tactic, but you actually plan to negotiate with companies?"

"Which company would easily give up their profits? This is against human nature, against Heart towards Immortal Dao, against Taoist Inheritance."

"Do you really think the words Ten Thousand Laws Divine Sword command absolute obedience wherever they go?"

"Your defeat will begin from this very step."

Thinking of this, Snake Desire Venerable had already begun organizing his temporary worker water armies, ready to propagate broadly as soon as Zhang Yu’s negotiations fail.

...

Meanwhile, in the Yuannei Cave Heaven, the office of the Real Effect Department was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Old Gao, knowing that all the companies invited by Zhang Yu had refused to attend, also showed a trace of worry on his face.

He noted down the Small Realms owned by these companies and thought to himself: "When I find an opportunity, I’ll steal the public space they’ve occupied."

Though he harbored thoughts of revenge, he also realized this couldn’t solve the immediate problem.

"If these companies keep refusing to talk and Zhang Yu finds himself helpless, the overtime phenomenon of each major company will become more severe and unchecked."

"If things continue to be turbulent like this, Zhang Yu’s promotion of the Law Chain will encounter numerous obstacles."

He looked toward the depths of Yuannei Cave Heaven and thought to himself: "Have you thought about what to do?"

In the office, Zhang Yu watched the public opinion reaction, but his face didn’t show too much surprise.

Fu Ji, on the other hand, grew increasingly angry as she watched: "Look! Zhang Yu, we’re clearly trying to help this group of Lower Cultivators negotiate with the companies, yet they don’t trust you, even slander you, curse you, and have reduced the Thought Wave Amplification of the Law Chain these days, causing the rank to drop by dozens of places, why are you helping them?"

Zhan Xian said: "Kunxu’s Cultivators have been constantly deceived from the moment they became conscious; having been deceived numerous times from childhood to adulthood, not trusting us is quite normal."

The God of Reporting thought to himself: "Even though the external Lower Cultivators are all opposing, as long as Zhang Yu truly succeeds, all opposition will transform into Zhang Yu’s power."

"He will consolidate the will of countless Lower Cultivators, becoming their spokesperson, negotiating with one company after another in the future."

"The potential benefits and space for maneuver... it’s enormous."

Thinking of this, the God of Reporting sighed inwardly: "Zhang Yu has ignited a fire himself, watching the struggle between companies and employees, waiting for both sides to feel the pain before stepping in as a referee. Once he succeeds... he’ll gain the power to influence the overall situation, a truly remarkable leveraging scheme."

"However..."

Fu Ji voiced her concern: "Zhang Yu, isn’t what you’re planning to do next too risky? After all, these companies have some association, more or less, with Immortals, even with the Immortal Emperor."

Zhan Xian coldly snorted and said: "In the sect or the sect enterprises, which one has no ties? Which one cannot trace its background back to the Immortals? Does this mean no reform should happen?"

The Kao Sect Avatar said: "Even so, it shouldn’t start with Law Realm services, charity-related companies which are all earning money for the Immortal Emperor. Thinking of how short of money the Immortal Emperor is, and now experiencing a loss in profit, I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for him."

But then Zhan Xian said: "If you wish to take, you must first give. If the Immortal Emperor is not willing to sacrifice some interests to push for reform, how will others be willing to support it?"

"If no one is willing to compromise, how will the reform progress?"

"And if this negotiation succeeds and shows that even the Immortal Emperor is willing to accept some loss for reform, who else will have reasons to oppose it? Only then will the reform progress smoothly."

Seeing that the Kao Sect Avatar was still dissatisfied, Zhang Yu said: "I believe the Immortal Emperor will support us. Because the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor surely possesses the magnanimity and the courage."

"The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor is not an ordinary person held hostage by Heart towards Immortal Dao."
