Chapter 1293 - 827: Kunxu Hero Zhang Yu
Chapter 1293 - 827: Kunxu Hero Zhang Yu
After disconnecting the communication with the Magnetic Pole, Xuanji shook his head with a sigh in his eyes.
"Junior Sister, oh Junior Sister, who would have thought that a proud person like you would ask for my help one day."
"If, in the past, when we were cultivating under the same master, you probably could never have imagined that one day the difference between us would be like a chasm, right?"
The sigh was merely a fleeting thought in his mind, and Xuanji had already refocused his attention back on his work.
For him, the time and memories before joining the sect were matters of the past, which had nothing to do with the person he was today.
Working hard, cultivating diligently, maintaining his position within the sect, and then continuing to climb higher... this was Xuanji’s current top priority.
As for the times gone by...
"It’s time to make a break with the past."
After a round of communication with the Magnetic Pole just now, Xuanji was even more certain of one thing.
"The past is no longer of any help to me, but rather a burden."
"Just talking to the Magnetic Pole now is a waste of my time."
Thus, with a thought, Xuanji quietly selected the Magnetic Pole from his contacts and chose to delete as a friend.
After doing all this, Xuanji felt as if he had unloaded a certain mental burden, feeling his mana operation and thoughts run more smoothly, as if even the speed at which he handled his work accelerated a little.
At this moment, a flicker of light suddenly appeared in front of Xuanji; it was his subordinate Soul Cultivator reporting to him, explaining that an important news broadcast was playing in the Spirit Realm.
Xuanji clicked the news link, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
One announcement after another regarding the handling of the Taizhen Immortal Clan, leaving him full of astonishment.
Especially seeing those once lofty Immortals being dragged out one by one, reported, criticized, and punished, it seemed to Xuanji as if he were witnessing battles filled with blood and chaos.
"The announcements in the news... this is not a bugle call of charge, but a declaration of victory."
Being a Sect Affairs Officer who had mingled in the sect level for a long time, Xuanji understood very well that news like this being released meant the dust had settled, implying not only that the struggle was over, but even the spoils were probably already divided.
"Just like that, the Taizhen Immortal Clan must be severely weakened."
"The Taizhen Immortal didn’t even make much effort to protect them... it seems the conflicts among the Immortals are indeed intense."
As Xuanji’s internal shock gradually subsided, suddenly a thought crossed his mind.
"Wait, the disciple the Magnetic Pole asked me to help seems to be caught up in this matter."
"What was the name again?"
With Xuanji’s level of cultivation, although he didn’t pay much attention to the other party, within a split second, he had retrieved everything from his memory.
"Oh, it was Zhang Yu."
In the next moment, Zhang Yu’s image had already appeared in the news in front of him.
"A hero of Kunxu, a model of the sect!"
"At a critical moment, facing anti-Kunxu elements, Zhang Yu stepped forward, disregarding personal safety, leading the charge, displaying the responsibility and commitment of the new era of Kunxu..."
Looking at the content of the news, Xuanji was suddenly shocked, followed by a sense of disbelief.
"Just a Lower Cultivator who passed the exams from the Lower Realm, how did he receive such heavy praise? On what grounds?"
"Who exactly is supporting him?"
But recalling the manner in which the Magnetic Pole asked for help, it didn’t seem like she had any backing.
While Xuanji was amazed and pondering, another message popped up in front of him; it was from the master he shared with the Magnetic Pole.
Master: Have you seen the news about the Taizhen Immortal Clan and Zhang Yu?
Xuanji: Just saw it
Master: The Magnetic Pole has accepted a good disciple. This Zhang Yu looks set to soar, and it’s an honor for our lineage.
Master: By the way, I heard the Magnetic Pole asked you for help? She’s not one to easily ask us. If there’s anything to help with, just lend a hand.
Reading the message from his master, then looking at the deleted Magnetic Pole from his contacts, Xuanji quietly opened the friend request, pondering to himself: "What reason should I use to add her back as a friend?"
...
Inside the training academy.
"...For many years, Zhang Yu has always been diligent and hardworking, climbing from the first layer of Kunxu step by step to the sect, gaining the qualification to enter the 14th layer..."
The Magnetic Pole and Old Gao watched the content of the news, both displaying looks of astonishment.
Especially after seeing various praises about Zhang Yu, they were both surprised and delighted.
Old Gao said: "With so many people from the Taizhen Immortal Clan being dealt with, and Zhang Yu being praised as a model, it looks like this issue is coming to an end."
Watching the news report with scenes of Zhang Yu confronting Su Lingyou, the Magnetic Pole also sighed with relief: "For the time being, it seems there’s no issue."
"This kid, how did he suddenly rise to this status?"
At this moment, numerous avatars popped up one by one on the previously sparse contact list of the Magnetic Pole.
Yinquan Divine Monarch from the Lower Realm: Congratulations Magnetic Pole, Zhang Yu has now gained recognition from those above, he’ll definitely soar to great heights next.
And those external cultivators who previously attended training at the academy together, also sent messages one after another, offering congratulations and subtly probing who Zhang Yu’s current backer might be.
Even a director from the academy suddenly reached out to Magnetic Pole.
Director: Magnetic Pole, do you have time? [Chuckling]
Seeing the usually aloof director, who always looked down upon Lower Realm Cultivators, suddenly being polite, the Magnetic Pole couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: "Who would have thought that one day I, Magnetic Pole, would gain honor through a disciple?"
