First, after your Foundation Establishment, have you noticed any changes in your mental strength or physical condition…?” Chen Boshi had formally begun posing his questions to Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu immediately gathered his scattered thoughts, listened intently, and carefully weighed each answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After answering the doctor’s questions, he still needed to ask how the base planned to safely bring him back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Wang Yu stepped out of the white gaming pod, frowning slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong? Have they arranged it? When can we go back?” Li Xiaodao stood beside the pod, having arrived earlier; seeing Wang Yu’s expression, he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We probably won’t be going back anytime soon. I’ll explain the details after we return,” Wang Yu sighed, giving a brief reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s face showed a flicker of surprise, but he knew this wasn’t the place to talk; he nodded and followed Wang Yu downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half an hour later, in the hotel room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? The homeland wants us to stay in Xierde for a while, and return only after the support team arrives and arranges it?” Li Xiaodao’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Wang Yu’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. What did your old superior tell you?” Wang Yu asked calmly in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My old superior said that under special circumstances, I’ve been recalled into service; all my activities in Xierde are to be under your command,” Li Xiaodao replied hesitantly, then honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, during your time in Xierde, you’ll be following my orders,” Wang Yu said with a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Mr. Sai, my orders are to prioritize your safety above all else,” Li Xiaodao immediately stood at attention and saluted Wang Yu solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then for now, you’re my bodyguard. According to the information I received, the homeland’s support team won’t find it easy to come over—they probably can’t use normal channels. So our waiting time will likely be long,” Wang Yu said, recalling Chen Boshi’s final instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean, Mr. Sai?” Li Xiaodao seemed to grasp something, probing cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s stick to our original plan: first, hide ourselves in this city. Ideally, obtain the identity of a native of Pengjie City—then no one will notice us. You’ve operated overseas before; you must have ways to do this,” Wang Yu asked, smiling at the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean directly replacing a native of Pengjie City, erasing our outsider identities so no one can trace us?” Li Xiaodao replied thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. That’s what I mean,” Wang Yu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this had been before today, it would’ve been difficult—but now that I’ve regained my original status, I might be able to use domestic intelligence channels to make it happen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Mr. Sai, if we do this, it’ll probably take several days before we get a definite answer,” Li Xiaodao said uncertainly after thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. Go ahead and handle it—it won’t hurt to wait a day or two,” Wang Yu waved dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood. I’ll arrange it right away,” Li Xiaodao replied, exited the room, and closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left alone, Wang Yu stared at the door, rubbed his chin, and murmured, “Shenwu Team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard the name of the homeland’s support team, his first thought was whether he’d misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A support team daring to use such a name—wasn’t that exaggerated and ridiculous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the serious expression of the person who mentioned the Shenwu Team, it seemed this team was truly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Chen Boshi, the members of the Shenwu Team had such unique identities that they were all on Western nations’ blacklists, forcing them to sneak into Xierde via special channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if they flew openly to the West, Western intelligence would immediately spot and heavily monitor them—how could they even think of providing support?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Chen Boshi explained, the more interested Wang Yu became in the members of the Shenwu Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered this, he stretched his body and began practicing the Four Beasts Diagram Art in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cindy knocked on the door eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief exchange, Wang Yu followed her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two appeared at a detached villa with a large garden on the outskirts of Pengjie City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stood on the second-floor balcony, gazing at the dilapidated garden below, overgrown with dense weeds; his face showed no expression, but inside he was quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The house was run-down, but the garden was genuinely huge—nearly a thousand square meters—and no buildings stood adjacent; the nearest neighboring villa was over a hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ensured sufficient secrecy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, a man wearing glasses enthusiastically detailed the property’s high cost-performance and advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether you buy it or not depends on your decision, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think I don’t know—this place is so remote and was once the scene of a massacre. If the price isn’t low, only a fool would buy it,” Cindy interrupted the glasses-wearer, clearly impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though this villa is haunted, that happened over ten years ago. And such a large detached house selling for only three hundred thousand? In all of Pengjie City, this is the only one at this price,” the glasses-wearer smiled apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. If it were truly this easy to sell, why has it been on the market for so long? If we hadn’t needed a bigger house, we’d never consider a haunted villa,” Cindy snorted dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glasses-wearer opened his mouth to say more, but after two sharp glares from Cindy, he clammed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Buy it. Use your name,” Wang Yu said, turning his gaze from the garden and giving Cindy an order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, sir. The transfer procedures are entirely up to me,” Cindy said, momentarily stunned, then beaming; he pulled the glasses-wearer aside and whispered urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s gaze returned to the grassy patch in the garden, his mind racing with thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, in the villa’s living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu sat in the main seat, with Cindy and Li Xiaodao standing on either side; the former was speaking to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Sai, I’ve contacted a small gang called ‘Blood Hand,’ joined them, and become one of their minor leaders. With enough cash and your help, I’ll eventually bring this gang entirely under your control,” Cindy said respectfully to Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.161Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","58e3dd2301a97883c9da546543ebb74207e97012475878663e4a62672a8b765b","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-401","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-399",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
