Chapter 1194 800: Old Graveyard, Fu Xiantian's Legacy

"Going to the Old Graveyard? In charge of Soul Cultivator maintenance?"

After hearing where Zhang Yu was being sent, True Monarch Wu Xiang was immediately stunned: "How is this any different from being assigned to the logistics department to sweep floors? Humiliation, this is naked, barefaced humiliation!"

On the other side, the veteran member of Martial Arts Group One, Shen Qingyun, was also full of surprise when she found out.

She thought to herself: "Zhang Yu is someone Lord Bu specifically named, is the Pavilion really going to tear its face off with Lord Bu?"

Martial Arts Third Group's leader, Qu Yizhi, stared in shock at this news, thinking: "With that Lord Bu's temper, getting slapped in the face like this in public, how could he not blow this up to the heavens?"

Many Cultivators of the Yufa Pavilion harbored similar thoughts, and the eyes that had been looking at Zhang Yu with envy and jealousy gradually turned into a "waiting for drama" kind of look.

And the team members who had previously been circling around Zhang Yu all scattered in an instant, vanishing without a trace.

"This is clearly the Pavilion Master and the others killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, pressing Zhang Yu down." True Monarch Wu Xiang thought to himself: "Next, I'd better stay away from Zhang Yu, so I don't get dragged in as well."

For a while, all the members of Martial Arts Group One tacitly distanced themselves from Zhang Yu, while quietly observing him, waiting for the potential storm to break.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, Bu Yingshu never appeared, no one stirred up trouble, and Zhang Yu acted as if nothing had happened. He continued doing his work every day, calmly waiting to take up his post in a week, looking utterly composed.

Seeing this, everyone had the same thought flash through their minds: "Has Zhang Yu been abandoned by Lord Bu?"

"If that's the case, Zhang Yu will probably be stuck in the Old Graveyard for the rest of his life."

Some people were also worried about the performance reviews after Zhang Yu left.

Because they knew that once Zhang Yu left, they might have to work overtime every day. It wasn't that those above were too cruel, it was that Zhang Yu had set the bar too high.

...

Inside the office.

In Zhang Yu's mind, Fu Ji said: "This was absolutely the Pavilion Master's doing. Without his consent, how could they possibly demote you to a place like the Old Graveyard?"

Zhan Xian said: "You've probably been dragged into a struggle between Taoist Inheritances and become the chicken being killed to warn the monkeys."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He knew that in outsiders' eyes, even though he was very favored by Bu Yingshu, at the end of the day he was just a Cultivator from the Lower Realm who hadn't shown any particular significance.

"Outsiders don't understand the relationship between me and Bu Yingshu, and they don't know about my Dao Seed Chart and Bu Yingshu's Dao Seed, the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan."

"Their assessment of how important I am to Bu Yingshu is bound to be far lower than my actual importance to him."

"So using me as the knife… is pretty normal."

In fact, when Zhang Yu thought back over his experiences now, he also felt that whether from the Judgment Law Lineage's perspective or the Innate Dao's perspective, he, with no background, no seniority, and even coming from the Lower Realm, was indeed the most suitable one to be used as an example to kill the chicken and warn the monkeys.

Just then, on the other side of the Law Realm, Yu Xinghan said: "Zhang Yu, I checked the information on this Old Graveyard. It's the largest corpse item and Soul Cultivator distribution center in the Sect Level, a wholesale market."

"There's an endless influx of new Soul Cultivators pouring in, and every day Cultivators from all the major sects go there to purchase souls and bid on Ghost Kings…"

Yu Xinghan knew that if a Cultivator specialized in using Soul Cultivators and Immortal Dao Technology involving corpses, Bone, fresh blood, and souls, then the Old Graveyard was a convenient place that allowed them to buy many Immortal Dao Resources at low prices.

But for Cultivators of the Wanfa Sect, those resources were of limited use.

Instead, the environment in that Small Realm of the graveyard—specially constructed to preserve corpse items and Soul Cultivators, full of Yin Qi, ghost formations, Evil Qi…—would in turn hinder their cultivation.

Of course, if the pay was generous enough, in Yu Xinghan's view, going over there on assignment for a few years wasn't that big a deal.

However…

"The Ghost Faith Department of the Yufa Pavilion is specifically in charge of managing Soul Cultivators…" Yu Xinghan thought to herself: "The Cultivation Techniques reviewed by the Yufa Pavilion also include Soul Cultivator-related techniques, so they've always needed Soul Cultivators to participate in testing."

"Purchasing Soul Cultivators and maintaining Soul Cultivators are both to meet review needs."

"If it were purchasing, fine, but it just had to be maintaining Soul Cultivators."

In Yu Xinghan's view, the perks, authority, and influence of this job were far inferior to Zhang Yu's original Martial Arts review job as a Level 3 Sect Officer; it was a promotion on the surface but a demotion in reality.

And these work-related issues weren't even the worst part.

"I checked the latest information. It seems the Old Graveyard is currently undergoing postwar reconstruction."

On the other side of the Law Realm, Ye Xingli was also communicating with Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan.

Clearly, both Ye Xingli and Yu Xinghan were very concerned about Zhang Yu's promotion and his new position.

Ye Xingli said, "That Immortal war last time didn't just happen in the Lower Realm; it also took place in the Sect Level."

"Not only were many Small Realms severely damaged in the Immortals' fierce battles, but I heard even the Central Extreme Heaven at the center of the Sect Level nearly got smashed down."

"The Old Graveyard was one of the Small Realms affected back then."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly at that. He knew the Immortal war Ye Xingli referred to was when Brother Dao… or rather, Immortal Yinxin Tian seized the sixth layer of Kunxu and then clashed with numerous Immortals.

At this moment, that Immortal clash he had once seen in the Lower Realm surfaced again in Zhang Yu's mind.

Although at the time he had only caught a glimpse of that battle, like falling into clouds and mist, unable to see the true face of that great war.
