What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 540 Zhang Yu's Criminal Gang
The auspicious god was surrounded by colorful light, and he let out a cold snort, as if he still wanted to argue.

However, Xi Shen, with her thousand eyes and thousand feet, stopped him and asked directly, "What does this have to do with the research department?"

Fuki said calmly, "The so-called Research Department is the powerful institution that manages all the immortal research projects at Wanfa University."

"The study of the Nascent Soul Remains is naturally included in this."

"And Feng Yuhan, as the head of the research department and the main person in charge of the Nascent Soul Reincarnation project, do you think he's crucial or not?"

"In some ways, he is even more critical than the magnetic pole, able to interfere with the project's funding and personnel management, and previously even imposed a personnel blockade on the laboratory."

"But at the same time, he is much easier to deal with than a magnetic pole."

"Whether you simply want to control him, force him into the Demonic Cult, or convert him into your believer, it is far simpler than Magnetic Pole or Heavenly Chapter."

“Especially with the spirit world being hijacked by you, as an administrator, he is not as quick-witted as True Lord Tianzhang, and has lost the many blessings he used to receive, so he is at his weakest.”

Upon hearing Fuki's words, the three evil gods exchanged a rapid-fire message in secret once again.

“What he said makes sense. The administrators do know more than the test subjects and are easier to deal with than the magnetic poles and the heavenly chapters.”

"This guy is giving us so much information for free, probably because he wants to use us against Feng Yuhan."

"So what if we're being used? As long as there's benefit, mutual exploitation is perfectly normal."

Just then, Fukuhime spoke up again, "Have you finished discussing it?"

He suddenly stood up, slammed his hands heavily on the round table, glared at the three tall figures in front of him, and said coldly, "You can deal with Feng Yuhan as you please. I can release him to you as a greeting gift."

"But Wanfa University is my territory. You've had your fun, it's time to leave, isn't it?"

The auspicious god's body blazed with colorful light, and he said to Fu Ji without backing down, "Oh? What if we're unwilling?"

"Then don't blame me..." Fu Ji sneered, "I'll report everything here to the righteous god and expose your relationship with the demonic sect."

"Hmph, many of your believers have brought communication tools, haven't they? The true gods must be very interested in the technology inside."

In an instant, Zhang Yu sensed the murderous intent surging in the air, as if three enormous figures were about to press down on him at any moment.

After a long silence, the Thousand-Eyed and Thousand-Foot God of Happiness smiled faintly and said, "God of Fortune, we owe you a favor this time. But before this, we really didn't know that the University of Ten Thousand Laws already had a veteran like you who had made his move."

Fuki waved her hand, turned around and left: "Get lost."

"From now on, if it involves anything related to Wanfa University, come directly to me for advice. Don't act recklessly like you did today."

"If you ruin my big plans, you'll be sorry."

At this moment, in the eyes of the three gods, Fukihime had become an expert on the problem of all laws.

Xi Shen asked, "How can I find you?"

Fuki said calmly, "Don't you know how to use the summoning function in this conference room?"

Looking at the three silent gods, Fuki smiled faintly and sent an encrypted address to them with a light tap of her finger.

"If you need anything, just send the message through the Dark Realm."

After saying all this, Fuki's figure had already disappeared into the Dark Spirit Realm.

Looking in the direction where Fukuhime disappeared, Higanbana's Thousand Hands twisted in unison as she spoke, "Well? Have you found out his background?"

The auspicious god beside him contracted his colorful light and said, "I made some contact, but none of the evil gods on the second floor recognize him. This guy... with his strength and his setup... he might be from a higher level. If that's the case, it will be troublesome to investigate, and it will take more time."

Another evil god said, "He's hiding very well; I can't track him."

Xi Shen said calmly, "Then let's proceed according to the result we just discussed."

"We'll probably have to consider this person in our next plans."

……

Wanfa University, in University City.

Zhang Yu suddenly came to his senses, feeling as if his mind had returned from the Dark Spirit Realm to the real world.

Fuki breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, "Damn it, these three guys have been frantically investigating my background through the Dark Spirit Realm. If I keep dragging this out, there's a real risk they'll find out about me."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Why did they leave so quickly? Shouldn't they have taken the opportunity to gather more information from them?"

Fuki said calmly, "No rush, let the wind blow for a while longer."

"Once they finish their operation here and confirm the intelligence I provided, the next communication will naturally be smoother."

"Hehe, with this meeting room in the Dark Spirit Realm, we now have a safe channel to communicate with the evil gods."

"We can exchange intelligence with them in the future, and even try to exchange supplies. These guys should have a lot of good stuff."

Zhang Yu and Fu Ji finished their conversation in an instant, and then he looked at the crowd in front of him.

Zhang Yu realized that not much time had passed, even though he and Fu Ji had just spent a considerable amount of time communicating with the evil gods in the Dark Spirit Realm.

Fuki said, "The Dark Spirit Realm operates at a very high speed. Once inside, there is high-speed information exchange. A long conversation inside is only a moment to the outside world."

At the same time, Zhang Yu sensed that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange, and after a little thought, he understood.

Although they had just defeated a Golden Core cultivator from the Demonic Cult together, avoiding the danger of being killed or recruited into the cult, each of them had, to some extent, exposed their secrets of infringement, illegality, and other crimes during that battle.

Now that the battle was over and the tense atmosphere had subsided, they all felt a growing unease. What if they were discovered?
What if it gets exposed?
How much compensation is due?
Worry, tension, fear, terror... all of these are reactions that have long been suppressed by the countless rules and regulations of Kunxu over the years and have become instinctive.

Zhang Yu, who sensed all of this, understood everyone's reaction, because even he, a half-Kunxu person, felt a wave of lingering fear at this moment.

But he knew that someone had to step forward and speak up, and everyone had to keep the secret together.

"Everyone," Zhang Yu said, looking at the crowd, "besides the seven of us, no one else knows what happened today."

"Before this, we may have come from different places and earned different amounts of money, but from now on, if we die, we die together; if we go bankrupt, we go bankrupt together."

"As long as I, Zhang Yu, am alive, I will never treat you unfairly in the future."

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, everyone nodded slightly involuntarily.

Unbeknownst to them, Zhang Yu, who had just been charging forward and taking the lead in resisting the Golden Core cultivators of the Demonic Sect, had already gained their trust naturally.

Seeing the convinced looks on everyone's faces, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief and said to Ying Xin, "Ying Xin, you and Shi Yunxiang clean up the battlefield together, making sure there are no traces of our battle here."

"Huaiyu, please check the location of the body again to make sure no clues are left."

"Xinghan, go check if Lao Mo is awake. And while you're at it, put his hand fragments back in."

"Qingxuan, Mulan, could you two please help me reattach my arm?"

With Zhang Yu's instructions, everyone suppressed their unease and began to handle the situation in an orderly manner, gradually calming down.

As Shi Yunxiang cleaned up the battlefield, he looked at his other comrades who were working together, and a strange feeling suddenly flashed through his mind.

This was the first time in his life that he had committed a serious crime with someone, fought a deadly battle with a powerful enemy, and trusted each other to handle the aftermath.

This unprecedented feeling not only filled Shi Yunxiang's heart, but also the heart of everyone present.

"Happiness? Pleasure? Exhilaration? Excitement?"

Yingxin couldn't think of a specific way to describe it, but at this moment, when Zhang Yu handed over the illegal task to her, and she continued to sabotage the infrastructure with Shi Yunxiang, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

Shi Huaiyu carefully examined every corner where the body had just been, a feeling welling up inside him that he could not betray Zhang Yu's trust, nor the trust of his companions.

Even though she was working overtime for free, she didn't feel tired at all; instead, she felt waves of excitement.

As Fuki watched these scenes unfold, she thought to herself, "These guys, after committing crimes together, risking bankruptcy to fight each other, and learning each other's secrets, have gradually formed a close-knit group with Zhang Yu as their core."

"And... at least in the early stages of the group's formation, they enjoyed the feeling of being part of the group."

"Zhang Yu... might be very good at establishing a demonic cult."

……

Just as Zhang Yu was leading everyone to clean up the battlefield and destroy the evidence.

The situation in the university town is also constantly changing.

Inside and outside the data center, the Ascension Child suppressed the spirit world with one hand and resisted the siege of countless talisman department teachers and students and righteous gods of the Myriad Laws University with the other.

Outside the university town, streaks of light twinkled in the sky, representing unemployed elderly people hindering outside support.

At the same time, a large number of cult followers rushed toward the 666th floor of the university and the research office, and a fierce conflict broke out.

After the conflict at both locations came to an end, the unemployed old man and the ascension child led their people away.

In addition, a large number of cultists from outside the university also voluntarily left the university town.

Those who joined the Demonic Cult within Wanfa University naturally remained at the school, becoming the Demonic Cult's future thorns planted within Wanfa University.

As for those who viewed the cult's materials and voluntarily joined, some were still looting and fighting. Others, however, sensed the changing situation and, after a flurry of looting, retreated to their hiding places, making a hasty retreat.

There were also some who, although their hearts were with the evil cult, simply watched everything coldly from beginning to end.

The monks at Wanfa University also began repairing the spirit world.

But just as the demonic cult was gradually withdrawing, in places that were neither on any important battlefields nor receiving any attention from higher-ups...

As one of the demonic cultists retreated, he unleashed a burst of fiery energy with a punch towards the medicinal field.

“You rich bastards, burn down all your medicinal herb fields…”

Just as sparks began to flicker in the medicinal field, a shower of rain extinguished the flames.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

An invisible hand appeared in everyone's eyes.

Whether inside or outside the university town, inside or outside the spirit realm... everyone saw this giant hand at that moment.

As the giant hand descended, the spirit world network was instantly restored, and the righteous gods returned to their positions.

In an instant, all the foreign demon cultists who were evacuating were separated from their bodies and souls.

The university town returned to normal in an instant, and all order returned, as if the chaos a moment ago was just a dream.

But looking at the severed limbs on the ground and the destroyed infrastructure, countless people knew in their hearts that... some things were no longer the same as before.
