When countless red warning banners suddenly appeared in the air, directly blocking Tianri Huangshen, Yu Xinghan also immediately became nervous.

It wasn’t until Zhang Yu’s palm gently patted his shoulder that Yu Xinghan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at the projection of Xuyang Zhenren with Zhang Yu.

At the same time, seeing the Level 40 Tianri Huangshen slowly stop and not directly crush his projection, Xuyang Zhenren also breathed a sigh of relief.

“It seems I gambled correctly. Ciji Zhenjun is now highly sought after and her reputation is growing, becoming more and more dazzling.”

“But at this critical moment, she has also become more careful and will never do anything too outrageous.”

As for being resented by Ciji Zhenjun because of this… Xuyang Zhenren could no longer care.

The competition in the patrol team was too fierce, and he was no longer a student, so he no longer had the qualifications for certification.

Xuyang Zhenren knew that if he didn’t seize this opportunity, he might be stuck in the Jindan realm for the rest of his life.

“Only by continuing to progress and get promoted do I have the chance to obtain a Yuanying certificate and break through my realm…”

Thinking of the person who contacted him before this operation began, Xuyang Zhenren’s resolve grew stronger, and his gaze towards Zhang Yu unconsciously became more resolute.

Zhang Yu said, “Xuyang Zhenren, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon. Do you know whose vehicle this is?”

Xuyang Zhenren said indifferently, “I only know that Yu Xinghan, who is scheduled to be tested for the Shuangxiu virus today, is beside you. Please ask him to come with me.”

Zhang Yu asked, “Xuyang Zhenren, does today’s testing of the Shuangxiu virus include people who are not at the construction site?”

A flash of light appeared before Xuyang Zhenren’s eyes, and a list was already projected.

He pointed to the three large characters “Yu Xinghan” circled in red on the list and said coldly, “This is the testing list planned by the team for today. Regardless of whether they have left the construction site, they need to be tested.”

Looking at the name on the list, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Sure enough… they’ve been watching Yu Xinghan for a long time.”

Feeling Zhang Yu’s scrutinizing gaze, Xuyang Zhenren met his eyes without backing down, their gazes seeming to collide in the air.

Although Xuyang Zhenren was in the Jindan realm and far surpassed Zhang Yu in strength, Zhang Yu, being held in the palm of the Level 40 Tianri Huangshen, with celestial flames soaring around him and like a great sun rising behind him, currently had an aura far surpassing Xuyang Zhenren.

He looked down at Xuyang Zhenren from above and said calmly, “This is my master, Ciji Zhenjun’s, vehicle.”

Xuyang Zhenren said seriously, “Student Zhang Yu, today is routine business. I hope you and Ciji Zhenjun can understand and support us. If Ciji Zhenjun is dissatisfied, I will definitely visit to apologize another day.”

Zhang Yu didn’t speak. Instead, he turned to Yu Xinghan and whispered, “Xinghan, just endure it for a bit after you go in, and you’ll be out.”

“When you come out, I’ll keep the company manager position for you.”

Yu Xinghan nodded, took a deep breath, descended from Tianri Huangshen, and walked towards Xuyang Zhenren’s location.

Throughout the entire process, Xuyang Zhenren’s projection continuously monitored the movements of Tianri Huangshen. In his perception, this enormous being, whose spiritual power fluctuations were earth-shattering, was also constantly watching his projection.

Thinking that Tianri Huangshen possessed the so-called “Tianri Tonggan,” capable of maintaining sensory synchronization across the spirit realm, Xuyang Zhenren felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at him through Tianri Huangshen, even directly seeing through his projection and landing directly on his true body, which was separated by mountains.

“Ciji Zhenjun…” Xuyang Zhenren’s heart sank. “Is she watching me?”

However, what Xuyang Zhenren worried about never happened. Until he took Yu Xinghan away, Ciji Zhenjun did not make any trouble, nor did she even say an extra word.

But soon after he took Yu Xinghan away, a communication descended from the sky, landing directly on Xuyang Zhenren’s forehead, demanding that he connect immediately.

Seeing the name on the other end of the communication, Xuyang Zhenren slowly exhaled and, after connecting, said, “Director…”

The voice on the other end was extremely cold: “Intercepting Ciji Zhenjun’s military-grade puppet at the entrance of University City, do you know how many people are watching? Are you trying to defy a Yuanying?”

And a moment before, when Xuyang Zhenren intercepted Tianri Huangshen.

Ciji Zhenjun’s eyes looked at the other party through Tianri Huangshen, and her thoughts had already crossed the spirit realm, connecting with Director Qiming Zhenjun of the Fourth Department of the Patrol Team.

The two stood opposite each other in the spirit realm, making the subsequent conversation seem slow but actually fast, with a large amount of communication appearing to be only an instant to the outside world.

Ciji Zhenjun said casually, “Qiming Zhenjun, I have something I want to ask.”

Although Qiming Zhenjun was human, his spirit realm projection was a beast-like form, resembling a dragon and a tiger, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, while also carrying a solemn righteousness.

Hearing Ciji Zhenjun’s question, Qiming Zhenjun seemed not surprised at all, as if prepared, saying, “Since the economic crisis and the sneak attack on the school by the Demonic Cult, the school leadership has placed great importance on the cult’s infiltration within the school.”

“Now, regular inspections are conducted throughout the school at intervals; it has become a routine.”

Ciji Zhenjun nodded and continued, “I have no other intention in seeking you out this time, nor do I wish for you to give anyone special treatment. However, Zhang Yu is my disciple after all, and if something happens to him, I need to know, don’t I?”

Qiming Zhenjun smiled, “Ciji Zhenjun, testing for the Shuangxiu virus is normal work, not just at one or two construction sites, and it’s not targeting your disciple.”

“Not targeting?” Ciji Zhenjun roared softly, and the Jiutian Yuanyang Pagoda behind her suddenly shone brightly, seemingly sealing off this entire area.

“Your subordinates stopped my Tianri Huangshen!”

“Right at the entrance of University City, warning projections were plastered everywhere. Anyone who didn’t know would think he was going to fight above his rank, trying to defy me, a Yuanying, with a Jindan realm?!”

Qiming Zhenjun was slightly startled and immediately said, “I was not aware of this matter; they did not report it to me.”

Ciji Zhenjun then slowly continued, “Qiming, you should also be aware of my current situation.”

Qiming Zhenjun nodded slightly, a hint of surprise in his heart as he looked at the Jiutian Yuanyang Pagoda behind the other party.

In his perception, this Jiutian Yuanyang Pagoda seemed to be on the verge of entering the Huashen level. In fact, he felt that this Jiutian Yuanyang Pagoda was already lingering between the Huashen realm, sometimes seeming to have crossed over, and sometimes not, to the point where even he couldn’t fully comprehend its depth.

Ciji Zhenjun continued, “As for Zhang Yu, he is an important achievement of the Huashen Fahai project, something that Wanhua Shenjun is also paying attention to.”

“To allow my disciple free access to University City, I made a military pledge before Wanhua Shenjun that I would ensure his safety.”

“Escorting him and his subordinates today is also for the same reason.”

Qiming Zhenjun quickly said, “I am also aware of this situation, and we all understand…”

Ciji Zhenjun continued, “It’s not that I don’t want you to investigate, but I hope you can control the impact. The Demonic Cult is not a small matter, but the university should prioritize economic and immortal development, and not neglect one for the other, don’t you agree?”

Qiming Zhenjun thought to himself, “She wants to distance herself from this matter, but also use Wanhua Shenjun and the project to support her disciple. Truly worthy of someone about to assault the Huashen realm; her every word and action is free from karmic entanglements.”

Qiming Zhenjun quickly assured, “We will definitely act in accordance with school laws and regulations and will also be mindful of the impact.”

Ciji Zhenjun’s figure then slowly disappeared, leaving only one sentence: “It’s good that you understand. Don’t let yourselves be used by those with ulterior motives to undermine the stability of the school.”

The phrase “those with ulterior motives” from Ciji Zhenjun echoed in Qiming Zhenjun’s mind. After ending the call, he immediately contacted Xuyang Zhenren and then pulled Xuyang Zhenren into the spirit realm.

Listening to his superior’s reprimand, Xuyang Zhenren immediately explained, “Director, I was just about to report this matter to you.”

Qiming Zhenjun said coldly, “Report? You only report to me after you’ve already stopped the person?”

Xuyang Zhenren explained, “There simply wasn’t enough time. By the time we located the target, they were only 30 kilometers from Wanfa University.”

Qiming Zhenjun snorted, “You intercepted Ciji Zhenjun’s military-grade puppet at the entrance of University City. Did you consider how big of an impact such a dramatic interception would have?”

Although they were still 30 kilometers away, to them, it was no different from being at the university city entrance.

Xuyang Zhenren said, “It wasn’t exactly a dramatic interception, was it?”

Qiming Zhenjun angrily retorted, “Ciji Zhenjun is the head of the refining department, the principal in charge of a school-level key project, and a Huashen candidate! How many people are watching her every move?”

“Your actions today, how much fluctuation will they cause in stock and coin prices? How much will they affect changes in commodity prices, and investments both inside and outside the school?”

“And do you know how many external forces are waiting for an opportunity to attack and discredit our school? How will this be exploited by others?”

Xuyang Zhenren said, “Precisely because of this, I had to intercept Zhang Yu, to prevent a further outbreak of the Shuangxiu virus afterward and the escalation of the situation.”

Qiming Zhenjun said, “Continue.”

Xuyang Zhenren said, “Zhang Yu just raised the salaries of everyone in his company today.”

Qiming Zhenjun was slightly surprised, “The whole company? Raised salaries?”

Xuyang Zhenren nodded and continued, “And Zhang Yu had previously been in contact with members of the Shuangxiu Cult from vocational colleges.”

“This time, it’s even suspected that he received news of our inspection in advance and even took Yu Xinghan away earlier. There must be a problem here.”

Xuyang Zhenren projected a series of documents: “This is Yu Xinghan’s recent work log. He has taken many days off this month, and his work efficiency has significantly decreased. These are standard symptoms of the Shuangxiu virus.”

“Would a normal person take so many days off?”

“Moreover, during this period, many people infected with the Shuangxiu virus have been found at the civil engineering construction sites, and they all had more or less contact with Yu Xinghan.”

“We strongly suspect that Yu Xinghan is using his work to spread the Shuangxiu virus…”

Upon seeing this, Qiming Zhenjun understood that Xuyang Zhenren had been targeting Yu Xinghan for a long time.
