Chapter 1226: Chapter 808: Killed Directly?

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "And... why is he a sect affairs officer of the Sky Demon Sect?"

Zhan Xian replied, "After the ancestor took action, many descendants were surely settled, but this Ying Aikun... I’m afraid he was protected by another powerful figure, so he was only expelled from the Wanfa Sect, stripped of his Immortal Clan identity, and finally joined the Sky Demon Sect."

"But after such ups and downs, his cultivation level seems to have dropped to the Divinity Transformation Realm."

Listening to these words, Zhang Yu’s heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "The powerful figure who protected Ying Aikun... who is it?"

Zhan Xian said, "The ancestor’s partner, the Wanfa Sect’s True Immortal... Taizhen Immortal Venerable. I’m afraid only she could save Ying Aikun and send him into the Sky Demon Sect."

Curiosity surged in Zhang Yu’s heart, "Save Ying Aikun?"

In Zhang Yu’s view, this partner of Yingxin Heaven was able to avoid being settled not only because of her formidable strength but also because she was not aligned with Yingxin Heaven.

Fu Ji said, "If it’s a truly selfish Immortal, there must be some benefit in doing so."

Although many thoughts passed through his mind, they flashed by in an instant, and to the outside world, it was just a brief moment.

Ying Aikun stroked his chin with one hand, glancing at Zhang Yu with an assessing gaze, seemingly unconcerned, then turned back to Qin Chuan and said, "Qin, life in the Ghost Faith Department isn’t easy, is it?"

"Is the Yufa Pavilion still the same? Is the Pavilion Master still Si Xu Xiao?"

Seeing Ying Aikun casually name a long list of names, Qin Chuan could only smile helplessly.

Although the other’s sect affairs officer level and cultivation realm were lower than his, their background was much greater. Even in the Wanfa Sect, Ying Aikun’s qualifications and connections were unimaginable, perhaps lying low for decades or hundreds of years... ready to rise anytime.

Thus, facing Ying Aikun, Qin Chuan, despite having a higher rank, acted like a junior, nodding repeatedly and agreeing.

Ying Aikun continued, "I’ve come today to tell you, borrow me the Soul Cultivators from your department for a while, and I’ll give you 5% interest."

Qin Chuan understood that by 5% interest, Ying Aikun meant borrowing 100 Soul Cultivators and repaying 105. This treated Soul Cultivators as mere consumables, calculating numbers without considering the specific identity of the Soul Cultivators.

Qin Chuan said, "The department’s Soul Cultivators are recorded... It’s not good."

Ying Aikun frowned and shouted, "What’s not good? Everything in the Wanfa Sect was established by the ancestor. You’re saying this to me?"

"I’m telling you, this time my sister is coming too, if you don’t lend me, she will come asking for it later."

Stunned by these words, Qin Chuan glanced at Ling Chiyue of the Sky Demon Sect beside him, surprised, "Could it be that she belongs to the Heavenly Demon Immortal Clan..."

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Yu said, "Ying Aikun also has a sister in the Heavenly Demon Immortal Clan? Are Yingxin Heaven’s descendants also joining the Sky Demon Sect?"

Zhan Xian was silent for a moment, then said, "Besides the Wanfa Sect, Taizhen Immortal Venerable has some descendants in the other nine major sects."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, then said, "Ah?"

Zhan Xian sighed and said, "Those descendants are unrelated to the ancestor."

In Zhang Yu’s heart, he mused, "Taizhen Immortal Venerable’s descendants, and yet unrelated to Yingxin Heaven..."

"Could it be... a green hat*? Did Taizhen Immortal Venerable give Yingxin Heaven a green hat? And not just one, but nine? All outside the Wanfa Sect, in the nine other sects, she had descendants with others?"

Thinking about it, Zhang Yu was astonished, "Aye, Ying... No wonder you want to flip the table. Kunxu truly follows suit and doesn’t act like humans."

Fu Ji said, "Is that so? Ying Aikun’s sister belongs to the Heavenly Demon Immortal Clan, what about the others? Clearly, Taizhen Immortal Venerable is an Immortal from the Wanfa Sect, but she can establish Immortal Clans in other sects?"

Zhan Xian said, "Except for the Heavenly Demon, they indeed belong to each sect’s Immortal Clans, or rather... it’s a cross-sect Immortal Clan, which can be called Taizhen Immortal Clan."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ji felt a profound shock.

"Terrible... truly terrifying."

"Having children is nothing, especially having too many becomes a burden, for today’s Immortals it’s wholly unnecessary; Immortals and powerful Cultivators long stopped breeding offspring."

Fu Ji exclaimed, "But to breed so many, and then place them in other sects, establish them as Immortal Clans, especially within the nine major sects? That’s truly an extraordinary feat! How exactly did Taizhen Immortal Venerable achieve this?"

Zhan Xian said, "It likely relates to the Taoist inheritance controlled by Taizhen Immortal Venerable. Over the years, her involvement in promoting dual cultivation and breeding-related Taoist inheritances and laws in the Wanfa Sect has all been linked to her."

"How substantial must the influence be?" Fu Ji continued to sigh, "Alas, I’d say Yingxin Heaven was too limited; with such a formidable partner and so many sons, he surely garnered reverence and envy among Kunxu’s populace... why bother rebelling?"

Right then, Qin Chuan looked toward Zhang Yu, introducing him to Ying Aikun, "This is Deputy Minister Zhang, responsible for overseeing the Soul Cultivators. He knows every Soul Cultivator in our department."

"Deputy Minister Zhang, it’s up to you to handle this."

Originally intent on having Zhang Yu receive members of the Sky Demon Sect, Qin Chuan now wanted to leave the matter of "borrowing Soul Cultivators" or "misappropriating Soul Cultivators" in Zhang Yu’s hands.

In case of any issue, it would then be Zhang Yu’s personal act, unrelated to Qin Chuan.

If smoothly handled, a share of benefits would go to Zhang Yu, while Qin Chuan claimed the majority.

Listening to Qin Chuan’s words, Zhan Xian said, "There’s a trap here, don’t accept it."

Zhang Yu said, "Minister, is there an official document?"

Qin Chuan smiled, "Deputy Minister Zhang, senior Ying and I are asking you for help, do we need an official document?"

Zhang Yu said, "Minister, if this pertains to the Ghost Faith Department’s business, then please issue the order through an official document." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Ying Aikun looked at Zhang Yu like a fool and said, "Kid, are you out of your mind? Don’t you know who I am?"

At this moment, a message from Bu Yingshu flashed before Zhang Yu’s eyes: Why hasn’t the Immortal Shuttle moved yet? [Furious]

Bu Yingshu: [Step]

Zhang Yu replied: Taoist Lord, please hold on, I’ll be ready soon

Ying Aikun said, "A deputy minister of the Ghost Faith Department, in the past... you wouldn’t even qualify to meet a subordinate of mine. Would you believe it if I told you I could have you transferred to logistics with just a word?"

Facing Ying Aikun’s threat, Zhang Yu could only say, "Then please formally issue an official document, Elder."

Ying Aikun laughed, surrounded instantly by divine light, revealing a dazzling array of Killing Certificates.

Simultaneously, numerous True God figures descended, all addressing Ying Aikun, "Esteemed user, you have begun using the Heavenly Court’s Killing Certificate; those you kill next are all deemed deserving."

And for everyone in the Ghost Faith Department, including Zhang Yu and Qin Chuan, messages appeared before their eyes.

"You have entered Ying Aikun’s legitimate killing domain; please abandon all resistance to avoid illegal conduct."

Seeing those several True Gods ready to pounce, Zhang Yu knew... resisting Ying Aikun now would risk immediate attack by the True Gods.

In the next moment, Ying Aikun reached toward Zhang Yu.

He didn’t cultivate, didn’t use mana, intentionally... slowly... inch by inch toward Zhang Yu’s head.

This feeling of crushing an opponent with pure privilege was far more enjoyable for Ying Aikun than with power.

Looking at Zhang Yu, Ying Aikun coldly said, "Try dodging, if you dare."

While Zhang Yu saw warnings continuously appearing, advising him not to evade, retreat, or resist...

When Zhang Yu tried to control the Immortal Shuttle, he sensed it was out of control.

With a loud bang.

Before him, Ying Aikun was no longer with an upper body, and the wall behind had layers of punctures.

Viewing the message from Bu Yingshu, Zhang Yu noticed his recent remark: If you don’t start it, I’ll do it myself!

Zhang Yu: Taoist Lord, it seems you crashed into someone

Bu Yingshu: Were there people? Thought it was a slowdown field

Bu Yingshu: No matter, collided with an Immortal Shuttle, and collisions are for nothing anyway
