Chapter 1341: Chapter 840:
There were, of course, some normal reports among these, but obviously a headline like "Divinity Transformation Reverses and Slays Void Refining" was far better at catching eyeballs, at going viral and spreading.
After all, in Kunxu, especially among the Ten Great Sects, a Lower Cultivator trying to逆伐 an Upper Cultivator was pretty much impossible.
And if you narrowed that realm gap down specifically to Divinity Transformation and Refining Void, the difference between them was like a heavenly chasm.
You could say that within the sects, no one even remembered how many years it had been since they’d seen something like this.
In many cultivators’ memories, this was the kind of phenomenon that only appeared back in ancient times, when Immortal Dao Technology was underdeveloped, when ancient cultivators hadn’t studied enough, and their understanding of the world and the Immortal Path was still shallow.
And now there are still Void Refining Cultivators who can be逆伐? I really want to see which Void Refining Cultivator is this much of a piece of trash.
And under these increasingly explosive headlines was precisely the footage of Xie Lanyin pointing out with a single finger, only to have Zhang Yu forcibly block it.
Of course, a simple video obviously couldn’t convey that at the time Xie Lanyin had already been cut off from the net, nor could it show how Zhang Yu inside the Immortal Cave Heaven had sacrificed more than a dozen avatars in a row just to wear down the power of that one finger.
So the entire video gave the impression that Zhang Yu blasted apart the power of Xie Lanyin’s finger with a single punch.
Under that kind of spin, some people thought Zhang Yu was amazing, but even more started questioning Xie Lanyin’s strength and performance.
"How is that possible? How did this little beast block my finger?"
Seeing this scene, Xie Lanyin was first startled, then immediately enraged: "Ridiculous. Divinity Transformation逆伐 Refining Void? This is blatant slander, defamation!"
In modern Kunxu, strength isn’t just a reflection of capability—it’s directly tied to a cultivator’s assets.
A major scandal like "Divinity Transformation Reversal Refining Void" wouldn’t just damage her authority in the Management Committee; it would directly affect the stock price of the company Xie Lanyin belonged to.
After all, if even your company’s Refining Void can be逆伐 by a Divinity Transformation, how can anyone trust your product quality?
And the important assets under Xie Lanyin’s name, including the mine that was transformed from her main body, would also be impacted.
After all, if this Refining Void can’t even handle a Divinity Transformation, is the quality of the materials you produce reliable?
So the very first thing Xie Lanyin thought of when she saw these scandals was to cover them up.
She suddenly mobilized the Soul Cultivator water armies under her, flaming everywhere, steering public opinion, shifting topics, and at the same time pushing the heat of other events to try to bury her own scandal, while also sending out a bunch of cease-and-desist letters, threatening some low-realm cultivators to stop spreading "rumors."
In a flash, Xie Lanyin’s funds were drained like running water.
But news about Divinity Transformation Reversal Refining Void was simply too eye-catching, too attention-grabbing, and Xie Lanyin realized she just couldn’t press it down no matter how hard she tried.
As the story of逆伐炼虚 exploded, the statements of the many Divinity Transformation Cultivators on site slowly began circulating throughout the Spirit Realm, and more cultivators started paying attention to the inside story of this battle.
On Tu Mu’s social platform, he posted: The Spirit Realm of the Old Cemetery Illusion Realm had only just been repaired recently and was already unstable. For some reason, Vice Chair Xie Lanyin suddenly made a move, using the Spirit Realm as a bridge to launch her Primordial Spirit Power across space, which led to the Mist Realm Spirit Realm connection being severed...
Riding the wave of the viral news, similar accounts spread widely, instantly making Xie Lanyin catch the scent of crisis.
"This little beast... wants to dump the blame for the Spirit Realm disconnection on me?"
Xie Lanyin sneered inwardly and immediately planned to contact the major investment-attracting enterprises to jointly put pressure on Zhang Yu.
But she quickly discovered that one person in charge after another was either offline, unresponsive, or claiming to be busy.
In that moment, after years of navigating sect politics, Xie Lanyin keenly sensed an increasingly dangerous signal, like an incomparably sharp Divine Blade in the void slowly descending toward her neck.
She of course had no intention of sitting still and waiting to die, and immediately tried to contact the other vice chairs in the Management Committee, as well as the chair.
But just then, a red warning suddenly flashed throughout the Spirit Realm Cave Mansion.
The next moment, a figure tore through layer after layer of Spirit Realm barriers and dropped right in front of Xie Lanyin.
"You..." Xie Lanyin looked at the Bu Yingshu before her, momentarily stunned. "Lord Bu, what do you think you’re doing?"
Bu Yingshu gave a cold snort: "You dare hurt my person and still have the nerve to ask?"
Thinking how Zhang Yu, who could help boost his talent breakthrough, had almost been beaten to death, Bu Yingshu felt like someone had almost beaten to death a viral cat with tens of millions of followers he’d raised; his killing intent surged in his heart.
Seeing the Innate Certificates appear one after another in the Spirit Realm, Xie Lanyin immediately warned: "I didn’t attack Zhang Yu. And Lord Bu! I’m a vice chair of the Management Committee, a Level 6 Sect Affairs Officer..."
Bu Yingshu directly clenched the Innate Killing Certificate and swung a punch straight at Xie Lanyin.
"Level 6 Sect Affairs Officer, huh? Then I’ll dedicate every slot on this certificate to you."
"Is that enough?"
Xie Lanyin said evenly, "Bu Yingshu, don’t think I’ll be afraid of you just because you’re from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan. The Immortal Clan of Wanfa doesn’t get to meddle in the affairs of the White Bone Sect."
Just as the two were about to exchange blows, another strand of Will descended—it was the chair of the Management Committee, Xiao Yunhe, a Seventh Level Tribulation Crossing Cultivator.
He reached out to block between the two, sighed, and sent a message to Xie Lanyin: "Why did you have to make a move on Zhang Yu? And beat him up like that? No matter what, he’s still a vice chair of the Management Committee."
Xie Lanyin: "I didn’t hit Zhang Yu!"
