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

Chapter 541 Liquidation (Thanks to 'Night Sky' for the generous donation)
As his eye reconnected to the spirit world, and familiar messages appeared before his eyes, Zhang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Having long been accustomed to using his eyes, he was now really not used to the state of being completely in the dark, unable to contact others, and unable to check information anytime, anywhere.

As the spirit world was restored, the university town returned to order, and the first thing Zhang Yu saw was a series of divine lights sweeping across the sky.

The gods appeared in a frenzy across every level of the university town, with a quantity and efficiency that Zhang Yu had never seen before.

Every now and then, one could see a figure being disintegrated into a physical body and having its soul extracted under the infusion of divine power.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's heart tightened: "Has the purge begun?"

Zhang Yu understood that the school's higher-ups and the righteous gods would inevitably hold a reckoning for the various acts of destruction, loss, and crime that occurred in the university town during the collapse of the spirit realm.

Once various cameras are reconnected to the spirit world, the videos stored within will certainly be reviewed by the gods.

Countless others have been misled by the evil cult, and this will certainly be a key area of ​​investigation for Wanfa University.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There must be many other people who secretly filmed the incident with their eye fragments, and now they should be starting to report it on a large scale."

As for other things like the maintenance of the university town, compensation insurance for various material losses, and lawsuits and disputes caused by various conflicts during the collapse of the spirit world... Zhang Yu could tell just by thinking about it how busy Wanfa University would be in the future.

Just then, a series of documents popped up in Zhang Yu's eyes. He had received documents from the righteous god, including "Learn Anti-Demon Cult Knowledge!", "Why Do We Oppose Demon Cults?", "In-depth Analysis of the Evil Nature of the Feathered Ascension Cult", "Righteousness Endures, Demons Cannot Last Long: A Reassessment of the Social Cancer, the Unemployed Cult", and "On the Harm of Unemployment".

Looking at these documents, Zhang Yu felt a surge of anxiety: "I'm in a real hurry."

At the same time, a divine light shone down from mid-air, then swept across like a wall of light, scanning each person's body as if it were a scanner.

As one passerby after another was swept by the divine light, some showed no abnormalities, while others triggered alarms and were suppressed to the ground by golden hands.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu also became slightly nervous, but he knew that running away was impossible, so he could only calmly accept the scanning of the divine light.

As divine light swept over Zhang Yu's body, an option appeared in his eyes, asking if he was willing to accept the examination of the true god.

Zhang Yu readily agreed. His injuries had been treated, there was nothing shameful stored in his eye sockets, and the information sent by the Demonic Sect had long been deleted.

On the other side, Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, and other companions were also prepared, having already made preparations while cleaning up the scene. Xiao Qingxuan even spat out his outer core again and regressed to the Foundation Establishment realm.

A moment later, as the examination concluded, the divine light dissipated from Zhang Yu's body.

"Phew..." Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "The most basic check is over. There may be some more questions afterward, but we shouldn't be the main target and won't be interrogated strictly. It'll probably just be a formality."

As the spirit world recovered, a large amount of information began to appear on Zhang Yu's eye sockets.

Many of these messages were sent after the spirit world was hijacked, and they are being sent over a delay now.

Mo Shangjin: Are you in your dorm?

Zhang Pianpian: The spirit world has resumed contacting me.
Zhao Tianxing: Why are you all offline?

Yingxin's grandfather: Can you see it? Is there something wrong with the spirit world of Wanfa?
Much of the information came from the soul cultivators within the company. After all, once the connection to the spirit world within Wanfa University was lost, it was as if everyone at Wanfa University had gone offline, and the spirit world and countless messages of Wanfa University had also disappeared at the same time, as if a large piece of the world had suddenly been missing.

For Zhao Tianxing, Che Yufei, Hu Yuntao, and others who are still in the midst of an economic crisis, nothing is more terrifying than opening their eyes to find their company boss's profile picture turned gray.

This made them worry that something had happened to Zhang Yu, or that the company was about to go bankrupt.

After the spirit world was restored, and with Zhang Yu's return to the internet, naturally many more people sent him messages.

Magnet Lord: Come to the lab and we'll talk when we meet.

Director Gao: Go find your master right away.

Zhao Tianxing: Mr. Zhang, are you alright?

Ye Xingli (Poor Man Simulator): Junior brother, are you alright?

Seeing the constant stream of messages, Zhang Yu replied to a few of the more important ones before heading to the laboratory.

Upon arriving at Magnetism True Monarch's office, Zhang Yu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by the appearance of the unemployed old man, who smiled and said, "Magnetism, is this your newly accepted disciple?"

Zhang Yu was taken aback by what he saw, and then heard the Magnetic True Monarch beside him say calmly, "Zhang Yu, this is someone I specially invited to welcome you into the sect."

Zhang Yu looked astonished and said, "Master, how can this be? We can't join the Demonic Sect!"

After repeated urging from Magnetism True Monarch, seeing Zhang Yu's shocked and frightened appearance and his continued reluctance to join the sect, he finally removed the projection of the Unemployed Old Man and said indifferently, "You're smart."

Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looking terrified, and said, "Master, was that a test? I was almost scared to death."

At the same time, he thought to himself, "Thank goodness... judging from the conversations with the evil gods, my master probably hasn't joined the demonic sect."

Having confirmed this, Zhang Yu quickly realized that Magnetism True Monarch was testing him, aside from his initial surprise.

Magnetism True Monarch looked at Zhang Yu and said, "This time, the two major demonic sects caused chaos in the university town, and we don't know how many people have been misled. The higher-ups have made up their minds to investigate, and someone will come to question you later." "If you have anything to say, tell me now, and I'll help you solve it."

"I don't want to hear about your problems from other people later."

Feeling the sharp gaze of the Magnetic True Monarch, Zhang Yu immediately said firmly, "Master, rest assured, I have never joined the Demonic Sect."

"After the spirit world was disconnected, I went to the office area with Mo Shangjin and the others."

"Later, we encountered a battle at the Golden Core level and were scattered. After that, I hid with my classmates until the Spirit Realm recovered..."

Seeing Zhang Yu deliver his prepared explanation, Ciji smiled slightly, rubbed Zhang Yu's head, and said, "It's good that you're alright."

“Zhang Yu, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but the Demonic Sect is full of tricks and is most skilled at bewitching people. I’m just afraid that you might fall into their trap if you’re not careful.”

“Remember, I am your master. You can talk to me anytime you need help, and I will definitely help you. But if you delay until the righteous gods find out there is a problem, then even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn’t be able to.”

Zhang Yu listened to Magnetism True Monarch's words with a touched expression, nodding occasionally to show that he understood.

But he knew in his heart that he could only believe half of what the Magnet Lord said.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Ordinary things are fine, Master will really take the blame for me. But what's happening to me now... If I really tell him about the evil god, it's hard to say how Master will deal with me."

At the same time, Magnet True Monarch recalled the various actions of the Demonic Sect: "These Demonic Sect members inquired about the laboratory, attacked me and Tianzhang one after another, and finally besieged the research department."

"Nine times out of ten, the Demonic Sect is interested in the experiments on the Nascent Soul Reincarnation."

That is why Magnetism True Lord considered whether Zhang Yu, the experimental subject, had encountered the Demonic Sect.
Besides Zhang Yu, Magnetism True Monarch will also talk to her other subordinates one by one to confirm whether they have any problems, so that they won't be exposed later and affect her path to becoming a Nascent Soul.

Just then, Zhang Yu saw Magnetism True Monarch frown, as if he had seen something in his eyes, and his face showed displeasure.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Master? What happened?"

Magnetism True Monarch sneered and said, "Do you still remember Feng Yuhan from that research department?"

Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Magnetism True Monarch continued, "The research department was besieged by the demon cultists, and this guy fought alone against the demons, protecting a large amount of school assets and making a great contribution."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred again: "Fighting against hordes of demons alone? It seems the Evil God really believed the information provided by Fu Ji and sent people to deal with Feng Yuhan?"

"But did Feng Yuhan really fight the demons alone? Or was he secretly controlled by the Demonic Sect and putting on this show?"

"Next time we go to the Dark Spirit Realm, we can find out what's going on."

Shortly after Zhang Yu left, Director Gao sent a message to Magnetism True Monarch.

Director Gao: Are you alright?
Magnet Lord: So far there seems to be no problem, let's continue to observe.

Director Gao: Sigh, after this incident involving the two major evil cults, everyone in the university town is living in fear. We don't know how many people have been controlled by these cults.

Magnetism True Monarch: It's likely that even before this incident, there were already Nascent Soul level figures cooperating with the Demonic Sect.

Director Gao: Nascent Soul level?
Magnetism True Lord: The divine techniques used by the Demonic Sect this time are very powerful. The fact that they were able to mobilize two Nascent Soul Divine Lords was beyond everyone's expectations. But even so, without inside help, it would have been impossible to so easily hijack the spirit realm inside and outside the university city.

Director Gao: Who do you think it could be?

Magnet Lord: Hard to say
Magnet Lord: In short, let's be careful in everything we do.
Looking at the message sent by Magnetism True Lord, Director Gao sighed inwardly, as if he could already see a hidden figure, silently plotting something in the darkness of the university town.

On the other side, Zhang Yu was questioned by the God of Justice shortly after leaving the laboratory.

As his thoughts traveled to the depths of the spirit world, Zhang Yu began to answer one question after another from the righteous gods.

However, just as he had expected, he was not the main target, and the matter was resolved after a brief inquiry.

Yu Xinghan, Shi Huaiyu, Le Mulan, Xiao Qingxuan, and the others all insisted that they hid with Zhang Yu until the matter was over. The seven of them testified to each other, and in the end, they all came out unharmed, which relieved them all.

Just as Zhang Yu and his group of seven successfully passed the test, Mo Shangjin, who was reportedly kidnapped by the Demonic Sect's Golden Core cultivator but later returned safely, became a key target of surveillance.

Su Yanyang was also suspected of being bewitched by the demonic cult because he hid in the cemetery and slept through the entire incident. He was sent to a rehab class to participate in anti-demonic cult training.

After rounds of checks, when the rankings and scores were updated that evening, Zhang Yu was surprised to find that his department's ranking had improved by one place, reaching 38th.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Among the people ranked ahead of me in the weapon crafting department, has something happened to one of them? I wonder if he was killed by the demonic sect when the spirit realm was severed, or if the righteous gods found out about the problem afterward."

Not only Zhang Yu, but all the students who survived in the university town have seen their rankings improve to varying degrees.

Just as after undergoing a process of refinement, the surviving students all felt that their path to immortality seemed to have broadened.

Meanwhile, just as Wanfa University was cleaning up the mess, the Top Ten Leagues on the other side also came to an end.
