It is said that this man takes care of his subordinates and cherishes old ties, with the style of the ancients—so let’s see if it’s true or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ruoli knew that the one sending her this message was an evil god; it was only with his cover that she could appear openly on the second layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was merely bait, responsible for clashing with Yu Xinghan to attract Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to what Zhao Ruoli knew, there were at least four Nascent Soul cultivators hidden in the shadows; once Zhang Yu appeared, they would go all out to capture him, then use the evil god’s power to conceal him and deliver him to the fifth layer of Kunxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just afraid he won’t come.\" Zhao Ruoli frowned. \"Then we’ll have to detain all these people and interrogate them one by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning her eyes over Yu Xinghan, Shi Huaiyu, and the others, Zhao Ruoli thought to herself, \"These people are said to be very close to Zhang Yu; they should be able to extract a lot of information from them, and maybe even help us capture Zhang Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within University City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after Zhang Yu sent a request for help to Zhang Pianpian, the other party sent over quite a bit of data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"The construction team clashing with yours belongs to the Bauhinia Construction Company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"The data looks fine on the surface.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"The reason for the clash is…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu looked at the intelligence, which detailed how each side accused the other of delaying their construction progress; it escalated to bickering among the workers, then a physical fight, and even one death. Yu Xinghan was also injured by an opposing Golden Core true person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed perfectly ordinary, especially normal in this chaotic era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Pianpian sent another message: \"There is one oddity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"I looked through their Spirit World browsing history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"Very little; they hardly ever log into the Spirit World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the message Zhang Pianpian sent, Fuji said, \"There’s definitely something wrong here. How can normal people log into the Spirit World so rarely? Don’t they need to get information every day? That’s practically instinct for second-layer people, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This only shows one thing… maybe they’re getting information through other means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu's eyes flickered: \"You mean...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dark Spirit Realm!\" Fuji said. \"I think these people might be cultists or followers of some evil god.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Fuji wasn't really certain about that; she was just reminding him and hoping that Zhang Yu would go with her to the Dark Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the heavens and earth connected and the righteous gods disappeared, Fuji could faintly sense that the Dark Spirit Realm deep within the Spirit Realm was flourishing and undergoing all sorts of subtle changes over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an evil god, she was naturally extremely curious about what the Dark Spirit Realm had become after these few months of construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she hoped to use the power of the Dark Spirit Realm to increase her value in Zhang Yu's eyes and further elevate her say in matters, rather than being his puppet every day, managing the company for him and doing all kinds of chores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, of course, there was also the need to seek out the whereabouts of other evil gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finally escaped all kinds of supervision, in Fuji's view this was the best opportunity to hunt down colleagues and become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji then continued: \"Under the current situation, the Dark Spirit Realm will surely be used by evil gods as an important channel for communication, and may even become, like the Spirit Realm, a tool for countless cultists and followers of evil gods to connect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gaining the ability to obtain intelligence from the Dark Spirit Realm will bring you endless benefits in dealing with future developments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Fuji's words, Zhang Yu frowned slightly and sighed: \"The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had tried his best to avoid anything that would distract him, Zhang Yu understood that when something was unavoidable, he had no choice but to face the difficulties head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cults and evil gods, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-05-29T04:55:10.865Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","8c6432e922e80a1b771236c95154380c982740e957be2f899c117edf9057e22e","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-667","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-665",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
