Chapter 583: A Shocking Interception (Thanks to 'Book Friend 150617214954387')

Seeing countless red warning banners refresh in the air, directly blocking the path of the Heavenly Sun Radiant God, Yu Xinghan felt a sudden surge of tension.

It was only when Zhang Yu’s palm gently patted his shoulder that Yu Xinghan let out a faint sigh of relief, joining Zhang Yu in looking toward the projection of True Person Xuyang ahead.

Meanwhile, seeing the Level 40 Heavenly Sun Radiant God slowly come to a halt, rather than simply crushing his projection, True Person Xuyang also felt a weight lift from his heart.

"It seems I bet correctly. Magnetic Pole True Monarch is currently the talk of the town, her prestige soaring, and she is becoming increasingly dazzling."

"Yet at this critical juncture, she has also become increasingly cautious, and she would never do anything too outrageous."

As for being held in contempt by the Magnetic Pole True Monarch... True Person Xuyang could no longer afford to worry about such things.

The competition within the Inspection Team was too fierce, and he was no longer a student; he had lost the qualifications to pursue further certifications.

True Person Xuyang knew that if he did not seize this opportunity, he might remain stuck at the Golden Core stage for the rest of his life.

"Only by continuing to progress, by continuing to climb the ranks, will I have a chance to obtain the Nascent Soul certification and break through this realm..."

Thinking of the person who had contacted him before this operation began, True Person Xuyang’s resolve hardened, and the gaze he cast toward Zhang Yu grew increasingly firm without him even realizing it.

Zhang Yu said: "True Person Xuyang, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Do you know whose vehicle this is?"

True Person Xuyang replied indifferently: "I only know that Yu Xinghan, who is scheduled to be tested for the Dual Cultivation Virus today, is by your side. Please have him come with me."

Zhang Yu asked: "Does the personnel list for today's Dual Cultivation Virus testing, True Person Xuyang, also include those who are not at the construction site?"

A flicker of light appeared before True Person Xuyang, and a list was projected into the air.

Pointing to the name "Yu Xinghan," highlighted in red on the list, he said coldly: "This is the testing list planned by the team for today. Regardless of whether they have left the site, they must be tested."

Looking at the name on the list, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "As expected... they have been targeting Yu Xinghan for a long time."

Feeling Zhang Yu’s piercing gaze, True Person Xuyang stared back without yielding, their eyes seemingly colliding in the air.

Although True Person Xuyang possessed the Golden Core realm, his strength was far above Zhang Yu's.

But with Zhang Yu held in the palm of the Level 40 Heavenly Sun Radiant God, surrounded by heaven-fire reaching the clouds and a great sun rising behind him, his aura at this moment was far superior to that of True Person Xuyang.

Looking down from on high at True Person Xuyang, he said calmly: "This is the vehicle of my master, the Magnetic Pole True Monarch."

True Person Xuyang said sternly: "Student Zhang Yu, today is a matter of routine duty. I hope that both you and the Magnetic Pole True Monarch can understand and support this. If the Magnetic Pole True Monarch has any grievances, I will certainly visit in person to apologize another day."

Zhang Yu did not speak; instead, he turned to look at Yu Xinghan and whispered: "Xinghan, just endure it once you're inside, and you'll be out soon."

"When you return, I will keep the manager position at the company for you."

Yu Xinghan nodded, took a deep breath, descended from the Heavenly Sun Radiant God, and walked toward where True Person Xuyang stood.

Throughout the process, True Person Xuyang’s projection kept a close watch on the movements of the Heavenly Sun Radiant God. In his perception, this giant entity with earth-shattering mana fluctuations was also watching his projection the entire time.

Thinking of the Heavenly Sun Radiant God’s so-called "Heavenly Sun Telepathy," which could maintain sensory synchronization across the Spirit Realm, True Person Xuyang felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him through the machine, even piercing through his projection to land directly on his true self, located mountains away.

"Magnetic Pole True Monarch..." True Person Xuyang’s heart sank: "Is she watching me?"

However, the thing True Person Xuyang feared never came to pass. Until he took Yu Xinghan away, the Magnetic Pole True Monarch did not make a move, nor did she say a single extra word.

But shortly after he took Yu Xinghan, a communication request descended from the sky, hovering directly before True Person Xuyang’s forehead, demanding he accept it immediately.

Seeing the name on the other end of the communication, True Person Xuyang let out a long breath, connected, and said: "Director..."

The voice on the other end was icy cold: "Intercepting a military-grade puppet of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch at the gate of University City—do you have any idea how many people are watching? Are you trying to defy a Nascent Soul expert?"

...

Just a moment earlier, while True Person Xuyang was intercepting the Heavenly Sun Radiant God.

The Magnetic Pole True Monarch watched the other party through the Heavenly Sun Radiant God, while her consciousness traversed the Spirit Realm to contact the Director of the Fourth Division of the Inspection Team, the Qiming True Monarch.

The two stood opposite each other in the Spirit Realm, making their conversation appear slow yet fast; to the outside world, the massive exchange of information took but an instant.

The Magnetic Pole True Monarch said casually: "Qiming True Monarch, there is something I would like to ask."

Although Qiming True Monarch was human, his Spirit Realm projection was a beast-like form resembling both a dragon and a tiger, appearing majestic and filled with solemn righteousness.

Hearing this question from the Magnetic Pole True Monarch, Qiming True Monarch did not seem surprised at all, as if he had been prepared, and said: "Ever since the economic crisis and the Demon Sect's sneak attack on the school, the school leadership has placed great importance on the infiltration of the Demon Sect on campus."

"Now, conducting inspections across the school at regular intervals has become standard procedure."

The Magnetic Pole True Monarch nodded and continued: "I didn't come to you for any other reason, nor am I asking for special treatment for anyone. It's just that Zhang Yu is my disciple, after all. If something happens to him, I should at least be aware of it, shouldn't I?"

Qiming True Monarch smiled: "Magnetic Pole True Monarch, testing for the Dual Cultivation Virus is standard work. It is not just happening at one or two construction sites, and it is certainly not targeting your disciple."

"Not targeting?" The Magnetic Pole True Monarch let out a low shout, and the Nine Heavens Origin Sun Pagoda behind her suddenly burst into brilliant light, seemingly sealing off this entire expanse of heaven and earth.

"Your subordinates have blocked my Heavenly Sun Radiant God!"

"Right at the gate of University City, with warning projections plastered everywhere. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was attempting to fight above his rank, using the Golden Core realm to defy me, a Nascent Soul expert?!"

Qiming True Monarch was slightly stunned and immediately said: "I was not aware of this matter; they did not report it to me."

The Magnetic Pole True Monarch then said slowly: "Qiming, you should be aware of my current situation."

Qiming True Monarch nodded slightly, feeling a secret tremor in his heart as he looked at the Nine Heavens Origin Sun Pagoda behind her.

In his perception, this pagoda seemed to be only a step away from entering the Deity Transformation level. In fact, he felt as if it were already hovering at the threshold of that realm.

Sometimes it felt as if it had already crossed over, and other times it seemed it hadn't; even he could not fathom its true depth.

The Magnetic Pole True Monarch continued: "As for Zhang Yu, he is an important achievement of the Deity Transformation Dharma Remains project, a matter that the Myriad Transformation True Monarch is also monitoring."

"To ensure my disciple could enter and leave University City freely, I gave a military pledge before the Myriad Transformation True Monarch that I would keep him safe."

"Escorting him and his subordinates today is for that very reason."

Qiming True Monarch quickly said: "I am aware of this situation, and we all understand..."

The Magnetic Pole True Monarch continued: "It is not that I forbid you from investigating, but I hope you can control the impact. The Demon Sect is no small matter, but the university must prioritize economic and Immortal Dao development; one cannot neglect one for the other, wouldn't you agree?"

Qiming True Monarch thought to himself: "To distance herself from this incident while using the Myriad Transformation True Monarch and the project to back her disciple—she is truly worthy of someone about to challenge the Deity Transformation realm; her every word and action is free of karma."

Qiming True Monarch quickly promised: "We will certainly act according to school laws and regulations, and we will be mindful of the impact."

The figure of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch then slowly vanished, leaving behind only one sentence: "As long as you understand. Do not let those with ulterior motives use you to disrupt the school's stability."

The words "ulterior motives" echoed in Qiming True Monarch’s mind. After terminating the call, he immediately contacted True Person Xuyang and pulled him into the Spirit Realm.

Listening to his superior’s reprimand, True Person Xuyang immediately explained: "Director, I was just about to report this matter to you."

Qiming True Monarch said coldly: "Report? You only report to me after you've already intercepted them?"

True Person Xuyang explained: "There was simply no time. By the time we located the target, they were only 30 kilometers away from Myriad Laws University."

Qiming True Monarch snorted: "You intercepted a military-grade puppet of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch at the gate of University City. Have you considered how much impact this 'shocking interception' will have?"

Although they were still 30 kilometers away, to them, it was no different from being at the gate of University City.

True Person Xuyang said: "It’s not really a 'shocking interception,' is it?"

Qiming True Monarch raged: "The Magnetic Pole True Monarch is the Director of the Artifact Refining Department, the lead person in charge of key school-level projects, and a candidate for Deity Transformation! How many people are watching her every move?"

"With your actions today, how much fluctuation will this cause in stock prices and currency values? How many changes in commodity prices and investments inside and outside the school will be affected?"

"Do you have any idea how many outside forces are waiting for an opportunity to attack and smear our school? How will this be blown out of proportion?"

True Person Xuyang: "It is precisely because of this that I had to intercept Zhang Yu, to prevent the Dual Cultivation Virus from spreading further and causing the situation to escalate."

Qiming True Monarch said: "Go on."

True Person Xuyang said: "Zhang Yu just gave the entire company a raise today."

True Monarch Qiming started slightly, "The entire company? A salary increase?"

Perfected Being Xuyang nodded, then continued, "Furthermore, Zhang Yu had previous ties with the followers of the Double-Day Cult in colleges and universities."

"This time, it is suspected that he received word of our investigation in advance, even spiriting Yu Xinghan away a step ahead of us; there is certainly something amiss here."

Perfected Being Xuyang projected a series of documents into the air: "These are Yu Xinghan’s recent work logs. He has taken many days of leave this month, and his productivity has seen a marked decline—these are standard symptoms of the Double-Day virus."

"Would a normal person take so much leave?"

"Moreover, during this period, quite a few people infected with the Double-Day virus have been discovered at the civil engineering construction sites, and they have all had more or less contact with Yu Xinghan."

"We strongly suspect that Yu Xinghan has been using his position to spread the Double-Day virus..."

Seeing this, True Monarch Qiming understood that Perfected Being Xuyang had been tracking Yu Xinghan for a long time.
