Chapter 685 An Old Friend from the Construction Site: Zhang Yu's Trail

For the past few months, the thoughts of the auspicious deity have been wandering in the spirit world.

While collecting information about Wanfa University and tracking Zhang Yu's whereabouts, he was also bewitching and converting believers, turning people in the university town into loyal users of the Righteous Alliance and the Dark Spirit Realm.

This kind of thing is not difficult for Xiang Shen, who has been involved in the criminal world of Kunxu for many years and has been trained in the three major demonic sects.

Especially now, with the disappearance of the true gods and the continuation of war, the monitoring of the spirit world by teachers and students in various schools, as well as their trust in universities, sects, and the Heavenly Court, is far less than in the past.

In the past, when the rules were strict and the power of the Heavenly Court shone in all directions, even the auspicious god felt he could deceive people everywhere. How much more so now, in such a favorable time, is it his chance to show off his skills?

"We evil gods have finally caught up with a good era and are reaping the benefits of the times."

Thus, from the lowest-ranking demons and college graduates to factory workers, office workers, construction site elites, and laboratory geniuses, Xiang Shen gradually gained more and more eyes and ears in Wanfa University City.

However... for the past five months, he has still not found any trace of Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was like a dissipating cloud of dust, a wisp of smoke drifting by. In these five months, no one had seen him, no one had contacted him, and no one had even received a response to his messages.

Even with money transfers or inducements, there's no response from the other party.

"Isn't it in the university town?"

"Were they sent somewhere else?"

Just when the auspicious god had been without success for a long time and was at a loss in the face of the huge university town, a believer offered an interesting suggestion.

That was a believer whom the auspicious deity found outside the construction site, a student from Hehuan University named Fu Xinyao.

For Fu Xinyao, the appearance of the auspicious god was also an unprecedented opportunity.

She spent far too long at Wanfa University.

“I was originally sent to Wanfa University by the Divine Lord Qiongjiang. I thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain the appreciation of the Divine Lord Huashen.”

"I thought I could just keep an eye on Zhang Yu, but I ended up getting involved in the battle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators. I thought I could go back after things were over, but then I encountered the conflict between the top ten leagues."

"I thought that the Ten Great Leagues would be a great opportunity to serve the Divine Lord of the Nectar and make contributions, but I failed before I even got to play. The sudden change in the world shattered all my plans, and I was left at Wanfa University again."

"And so... month after month, month after month, and now I've been stuck in Wanfa University City for a full three years! I've wasted three whole years!"

"In three years, I was originally a student in the top major at Hehuan University, but what I achieved was that I became very familiar with everyone on the construction site."

"I didn't get a single bit of the benefits of the great changes in the world. My degree from Wanfa University has nothing to do with me, and Hehuan University no longer recognizes me as a student. It's all because the God of Qiongjiang disappeared, and my identity as an undercover agent is now unknown to everyone."

"And the dangerous environment in the wild further interrupted my journey back to Huan."

“A seemingly insignificant move by the Divine Lord of the Nectar back then completely ruined my life.”

Faced with the current situation, Fu Xinyao felt anger, heartache, frustration, and regret...

Especially seeing her former classmates obtain Golden Core certificates one by one and break through to the Golden Core stage, while she still had to work every day to serve the Foundation Establishment students on the construction site... she felt extremely resentful.

It was under these circumstances that she encountered the auspicious deity.

"Since there's no place for me among the top ten universities, I'll join the demonic sect and worship the evil god!"

Upon learning that Xiang Shen wanted to find Zhang Yu's whereabouts, Fu Xinyao remembered someone living inside her Yin organ.

“Pinghan,” Fu Xinyao said, “this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You don’t want to live in the Yin Vessel for the rest of your life, do you? Think carefully about how you can find Zhang Yu at the University of Ten Thousand Laws.”

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's name, Ping Han, who had been gradually becoming mentally numb within the Yin Qi, seemed to suddenly awaken.

"Zhang Yu..." he murmured the name softly, his spirits rising, and even his genitals began to twitch slightly.

More than three years have passed, but Pinghan still remembers the exam that changed his life.

Ping Han always believed that it was because he lost the military certificate exam to Zhang Yu, and because he failed to obtain the military certificate in his final year of university, that led to his series of tragedies.

As for the battle he lost to Zhang Yu, he never believed that he had lost to his opponent. In his view, it was all just Gao Chongguang's favoritism, the shady dealings in the Department of Civil Engineering, and the filth and discord among the higher-ups of Wanfa University.

Afterwards, watching Zhang Yu win the Civil Engineering Competition, transfer to the Weapon Forging Department, and even participate in the Top Ten Leagues, step by step rising to the top, and finally defeating Kuang Tianqing to become the strongest undergraduate student in the top ten universities, Ping Han felt even more distressed, as if he were being torn apart by a swarm of insects.

He had always thought that he would never have the chance to catch up with Zhang Yu or take revenge on him in his entire life, until this moment...

Hearing the question about the talisman, Ping Han murmured, "As long as Zhang Yu still needs to cultivate, he needs spiritual energy and magical power."

"We can find the spiritual energy flow data of the university town and check what hidden spaces exist to maintain a Golden Core level spiritual energy supply during the time Zhang Yu disappeared."

Upon hearing this suggestion, the auspicious god was moved and felt that it made a lot of sense. So he mobilized his followers to start collecting data on the supply of spiritual energy and magical power over the past six months.

"It is required that the supply of spiritual energy and magical power will only begin within the next five months."

"It must be a consumption level equivalent to that of a Golden Core cultivator."

"It has to be a hidden space, an area that ordinary people cannot access or enter..."

As each location was investigated, a laboratory on the 555th floor finally came into Xiang Shen's view. "This laboratory, which should have been shut down by now, has been continuously receiving spiritual energy and magical power for the past five months."

"The surrounding area is also under strict guard, and you'll lose the spirit world signal if you get too close?"

"Hehe, it seems that it is indeed very likely to be here."

After confirming the target location, the next question is how to proceed.

Xiang Shen pondered, "I need to find an opportunity."

"An opportunity where the attention of five Nascent Soul cultivators from the University of Ten Thousand Laws is not focused on this."

The auspicious god smiled upon thinking of this, because this opportunity was not hard to find.

"On the one hand, the Righteous Alliance has been launching large-scale air attacks on the second floor, causing the power of the ten major universities to be pulled back and forth, and the energy, mental strength and computing power of the Nascent Soul stage have to be dispersed to various places."

"On the other hand... the other nine schools are putting pressure on the Magnetic Pole. Now the Magnetic Pole's main body has left the university town and is facing the accusations of the various schools' Nascent Soul cultivators."

Xiang Shen quickly completed his battle plan, and the time was set for the next air raid by the Righteous Alliance on the University City.

Just then, Fu Xinyao sent a message to Xiang Shen.

Fu Xinyao: My lord, may I participate in this operation?

Fu Xinyao: I am very familiar with the University of Ten Thousand Laws, and my soul cultivators are also familiar with the architectural plans of the 555th floor.

Auspicious God: Be ready at any time; act immediately when I call you.

As Fu Xinyao and Ping Han endured their agonizing wait, another wave of air raids descended upon the university town.

Streaks of lightning and fire traversed the sky and descended upon the university town.

The cultivators inside and outside the university city immediately followed orders and began to defend against the attack.

Large numbers of soul cultivators are wandering back and forth in the spirit world, which has already entered a state of war.

However, it was precisely in this state of all-out defense against external enemies that Wanfa University's monitoring of certain internal areas was weakened.

……

boom!
With a slight tremor, a large hole was dug in the ground in a corner of the 556th floor.

Immediately afterwards, a figure leaped down and landed on the 555th floor of Wanfa University.

Fu Xinyao and Ping Han followed closely behind, also falling into the cave.

Looking at the figure ahead, Fu Xinyao thought to herself, "It's actually a Nascent Soul Realm expert? Was it sent by the Evil God to infiltrate the University City? Or did a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the University City defect to the Evil God?"

The Nascent Soul True Monarch before her was enveloped in a layer of gray mist-like aura, making it impossible for Fu Xinyao to confirm his identity.

But regardless of the possibility, in her view, it all demonstrates the power of the evil god's methods.

Meanwhile, shrouded in this gray mist, Feng Yuhan, the administrative director of the research department, remained extremely calm.

Unlike Fu Xinyao and Ping Han, who were filled with regret, anger, resentment, and anxiety, Feng Yuhan did not indulge in emotional outbursts after becoming a follower of the Demonic Cult and a believer of the evil god during the Demonic Cult's attack on Wanfa University City.

In Feng Yuhan's view, when he was forced into a desperate situation, he had no choice but to join the evil god's embrace, so joining the evil god's embrace was the best choice.

Now that he has joined the side of the evil god, he naturally has to make achievements, continue to climb higher, and become stronger and richer until one day he can break free from the evil god's control.

Later, as the world underwent tremendous changes and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, Feng Yuhan secretly felt fortunate, thinking: "Perhaps joining the ranks of the evil god is not a loss for me, but an unprecedented opportunity."

So when the Righteous Alliance was winning victory after victory, he was overjoyed; when he completed the daily tasks of the Evil God, he felt satisfied; when the Magnetic Pole broke the spatial blockade, he sighed inwardly, feeling only regret.

To this day, the evil god has assigned him another great task.

"Capture Zhang Yu?"

Feng Yuhan naturally remembered this prominent figure from Wanfa University, and also remembered his past conflict with him.

However, in Feng Yuhan's view, his conflict with Zhang Yu was nothing more than a minor matter.

Even though he had once bowed and scraped to such a student, apologized, admitted his mistake, and transferred spirit coins, Feng Yuhan didn't think he had taken it too seriously. It was all just taking advantage of the situation and adapting to circumstances.

Just like today's attack on Zhang Yu, Feng Yuhan didn't feel any element of revenge in his heart. It was merely a mission from the evil god, an investment with inherent risks.

While pondering, he said to those behind him, "Stay close to me and check the terrain for any problems."

At the same time, a 555-story architectural design was projected onto the eye sockets of Feng Yuhan and Fu Xinyao.

That was a design drawing that Ping Han wrote down from memory, so its accuracy was naturally not 100%. In the actual process, there might be situations where modifications and reconstructions were needed, which would require Ping Han, who was inside the Yin vessel at that moment, to respond accordingly.
