You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 1361 - 846: True Heroes Emerge Amidst Tempestuous Tides
The Committee Chairman Xiao Yunhe looked at Su Lingyou in front of him and did not make a move.
After all, even if something had gone wrong with the Old Graveyard now, the main responsibility still lay with Zhang Yu and Su Lingyou.
And as a fellow Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivator, if he were to fight Su Lingyou, they might very well shatter heaven and earth, directly causing even greater losses.
What’s more, to use his own assets and power to fight for the safety of a Small Realm... and for the lives of the masses—Xiao Yunhe felt this was simply putting the cart before the horse.
"I’m worth far more than those lower animals."
But Xiao Yunhe was not without methods either; the Spirit Realm interface flashed before his eyes as he sent a call for help to the True Gods present.
"Honored True Gods of the Heavenly Court, please swiftly stop Zhang Yu, lest the collapse of the heavens worsen and the future of the Small Realm be plunged into living hell."
Yet the next instant, the True Gods’ reply left Xiao Yunhe feeling disappointed.
"Vice President Zhang is currently exercising his powers in a lawful and compliant manner. Repairing the spatial structure is precisely his duty; we have no authority to stop him."
"As for your internal disputes, you will resolve them yourselves."
Seeing this, Xiao Yunhe cursed inwardly: "A bunch of non-stick pans, not a shred of responsibility! Truly unworthy of the title True God!"
Just then, under the surging pull of the Earth Evil Gravity, the crack in the sky slightly drew back, even showing signs of mending.
Vice President Xie Lanyin, watching this scene, furrowed her brows: "If he really repairs it, then all my preparations, my loans, my investments... won’t they all be for nothing?"
As the rift continued to close, killing intent rose in Xie Lanyin’s heart: "Ruined! A perfectly good plan to save the market, completely wrecked by this lower animal!"
For Xie Lanyin, whether Zhang Yu succeeded in repairing it or triggered a second heavenly collapse, accelerating the destruction of the Small Realm, would only mean she lost money—just a matter of losing more or less.
What frightened her even more was the connection between this heavenly collapse and Lu Hengzhang, as well as herself.
If the collapse of the heavens was stopped and the Small Realm did not crumble, who knew how much evidence would be left? If they traced it to Lu Hengzhang, traced it to her... then what?
Xie Lanyin wanted to make a move to stop him, but looking at Su Lingyou before her, the other stood like a towering, unreachable mountain blocking her path, leaving her unable to move.
The gap in realm was already enormous, and on top of that, the other party had come with her physical body, unlike them, who had only dispatched their Primordial Spirits. The power Su Lingyou could unleash was all the more terrifying.
Xie Lanyin couldn’t help but look toward Xiao Yunhe: "Chairman! Do something!"
Seeing Xiao Yunhe remain motionless, a flash of realization crossed Xie Lanyin’s mind, followed by a surge of inward curses: "You ignore the repair of the spatial rift, you won’t touch ’life-for-withdrawal’ either, you shove everything onto your subordinates, yet when it comes time to count profits you shout louder than anyone. At the critical moment you have not a shred of responsibility—this upper animal is truly unworthy of being Committee Chairman!"
While Su Lingyou and the others were locked in a standoff, on the other side, within the line before the Old Graveyard teleportation station, a figure suddenly shot into the sky, already flying toward Zhang Yu’s position—it was Bai Zhenzhen.
"You go on ahead, I’ll go lend Yu Zi a hand."
Leaving a message for Wen Wuya, Magnetic Pole and the others, Bai Zhenzhen accelerated once and vanished beyond the horizon.
At the same time, a message appeared before Bai Zhenzhen—it was from her superior, Vice President Xie Xue, who oversaw the Safety Supervision Bureau.
Though he shared the surname Xie with Xie Lanyin, he did not hail from the White Bone Sect but from the Netherworld Palace, in charge of the Law Chain concerning intentional harm. He had once besieged Zhang Yu in a Secret Realm and was one of the Vice Presidents supporting "life-for-withdrawal" this time.
Xie Xue: "Bai Zhenzhen, what are you doing?! Get back here immediately!"
Seeing that Bai Zhenzhen ignored him, Xie Xue kept sending messages, but never received a reply.
As a superior, the first thing he felt when a subordinate refused to answer him was not anger, but disbelief.
"Rebellion, outright rebellion—these dogs that crawled up from the Lower Realm..."
On the other side, after directly blocking him, Bai Zhenzhen sent a message to Zhang Yu: "How do I help you?"
Seeing Bai Zhenzhen’s message, Zhang Yu gave a helpless smile.
He had not wanted to drag Bai Zhenzhen into this, but he knew he couldn’t stop her—just as she couldn’t stop him from patching the heavens for the Old Graveyard this time.
As for Bai Zhenzhen’s choice, Zhang Yu chose to respect it.
So without extra words or explanations, Zhang Yu replied directly: "Stabilize the material that’s lifting into the air—the more, the better."
The Sword Qi within Bai Zhenzhen’s body trembled, then turned into countless threads surging out, shooting toward the surrounding high-rises.
The buildings around them, from which Zhang Yu had borrowed part of the Earth Evil Gravity, were now so light under the furious gale that they seemed ready to soar into the sky at any instant, dispersing in the air above.
But as Bai Zhenzhen’s Sword Qi swept across, the surrounding buildings were immediately stabilized.
In Zhang Yu’s Kunlun Eye, seeing the buildings within a small area stabilizing, he circulated his Inner Strength at once, increasing his extraction of Earth Evil Gravity from that region.
In this way, an ever more surging Earth Evil Gravity converged into Zhang Yu’s palm, further tugging at the spatial rift before him.
Especially with the aid of the Kunlun Eye and the Calculation Pool, Zhang Yu’s output became all the more precise.
The nine sets of Cultivation Techniques of Inverted Kunlun reinforced one another, and once Zhang Yu set the Earth Evil Gravity in motion, interfering with the material world became as smooth as rearranging a sand table.
And the Chain Technique Map of Inverted Kunlun was itself continuously exerting its effects.
