"They're stealing shit! They're stealing shit!"

"Get out of my way! It's all mine!"

"Hahaha, I haven't eaten this much in ages!"

Seeing the group of Qi Refining students acting so wildly, Zhang Yu and Mo Shang Jin casually made their move, and the powerful Earthly Fiend Gravity swept over them, knocking them all unconscious.

This was the third wave of Demon Cult they had encountered on their journey. Although these Demon Cult looked like penniless vagrants who had been wandering the streets for days, they still made many students in the Civil Engineering Department secretly alarmed. It seemed that no one had expected that so many Demon Cult followers had secretly appeared in the University City!

As the group continued their journey, they discovered that, with the passage of time and the absence of oversight from the Orthodox God, surveillance, and suppression from the school's higher-ups, more and more people began to act out of line, and the University City became increasingly chaotic!

During a battle with Demon Cult, a passerby killed the cultist and stripped him of his Dharma Skeleton!

Some people joined the Demon Cult in storming into the store and looting its goods!

Furthermore, Demon Cult chanted about Reincarnation and being reborn into a better life, launching suicide attacks Fourth Office, further escalating the fighting within the University City and causing even more casualties!

Burning, explosions, corpses, fierce fighting, and violent tremors emanating from deep underground...

Looking at the University City before them, everyone felt as if the place had become completely unfamiliar!

"Teacher Tsuchikayama."

Before the group from Tu Lishan could even settle down, a figure covered in black smoke was already locked in battle with Tu Lishan!

Feeling the surge of magical power from both sides at the Golden Core level, Zhang Yu and Mo Shang Jin simultaneously activated the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, leading everyone in a retreat!

However, the battle at the Golden Core level was still too terrifying for Foundation Establishment Student. The aftershocks scattered the group, and the team that had been advancing together was quickly separated!

Zhang Yu looked around at his five companions who had come out of the dormitory with him: Yu Xingzhai, Le Mulan, Xiao Qingxuan, Shi Huaiyu, and Shi Yunxiang. They had stayed close to him and hadn't been separated from him!

Meanwhile, outside Zhang Yu's dormitory, there was a "man".

He smashed the door open, looked inside at the empty room, and sighed, "Zhang Yu and the others are gone?"

Behind him, a burly figure shrouded in thick black mist said calmly, "Is this the place you mentioned where Zhang Yu lives?"

The man nodded. "It's Zhang Yu! Not only is he a prodigy in the Civil Engineering Department Heavenly Prodigy, but he also passed the Military Certificate exam in his junior year, mastered the Level 20 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, and even transferred to the Artifact Crafting Department. His talent is truly astonishing!"

"Moreover, it was he who participated in the Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact experiment and gained considerable benefits from it, so he must know a lot of secrets about the experiment!"

The imposing figure smiled slightly and said, "He is indeed a talent the sect needs. If we can successfully recruit him, the sect leader will be very happy and will reward him handsomely!"

Having said that, the imposing figure looked at the "man" again and asked, "Do you think he would willingly join the religion?"

The man said solemnly, "Zhang Yu has helped me so much, how can I watch him continue to sink into the quagmire set up by the Ten Great Sects? Whether he likes it or not, even if it means forcing me, I will force him to join the sect!"

'But now we don't know where they've gone!'

The imposing figure waved his hand and said, "It's alright!"

"The so-called Spirit Realm Severance does not mean that the Spirit Realm has disappeared; it simply means that the cult leader has temporarily hijacked the Spirit Realm both inside and outside the Ten Thousand Laws University!"

At this moment, the Spirit Realm is unusable for the teachers and students of Ten Thousand Laws University!

"But for us, we can still draw upon some of the power of the Spirit Realm to mobilize nearby resources!"

"Now that we've found the place where Zhang Yu used to be, finding him again shouldn't be difficult!"

With a flick of his finger, the imposing figure brought the surveillance footage from the vicinity of the dormitory to life!

"Oh? It's Mo Shang Jin?"

"Let's take him along too!"

Soon after!

On the shattered street, Mo Shang Jin, covered in blood, knelt on one knee, staring in astonishment at the "man" before him and the imposing figure behind him. His face was grim as he said, "You..."

The "man's" appearance has been clearly deformed, and his original appearance is no longer recognizable. However, even after the deformation, the "man's" face still cannot hide the smile of pleasure!

The man looked at Xue Chang, who used to be so high and mighty, now kneeling on the ground after being beaten, and couldn't help but burst into laughter!

"Mo Shang Jin, you never expected this, did you? You never thought this day would come, that you would kneel before me? What good are your grades? You're all going to join the Demon Cult with me now!"

With a soft bang, the imposing figure shattered. Mo Shang Jin's last remaining strength of resistance knocked the opponent unconscious, and he casually held him in his hand!

"They're gone, but Zhang Yu is still here!"

The man quickly followed the imposing figure, his heart pounding with excitement!

"Zhang Yu... I've come to find you!"

Thinking of Zhang Yu, a trace of resentment welled up in his heart!

"Zhang Yu... why do you help Le Mulan, Yu Xinghan, Ying Xin... why do you help so many people but not me?"

Clearly, his true thoughts were completely different from what he had just said. His desire to force Zhang Yu to join the sect was not out of gratitude, but out of resentment!

"Over the years, how many times have I tried to please you? How many times have I begged you? I've done everything I could to please you, and what have you done in return? These past few days, I've waited outside your door like a dog, constantly pleading and waiting for you to grant me even the slightest bit of magical power!"

A surge of intense anger welled up within Li Xiao: "Zhang Yu! You're playing me, you're playing me and Ji Yuan Shu!"

Why can't you help us more?

"If only they had helped us a little more, Ji Yuan Shu might not have died, and I might not have joined the Demon Cult..."

During this period of economic crisis, Li Xiao experienced unprecedented turmoil regarding his path to Immortal Dao and his future!

This wavering, coupled with the contrast with Zhang Yu, fueled an overwhelming sense of jealousy, envy, and resentment within him!

Why is there such a big difference between people from the same social class?

We're both on the same level, so why is he helping Yu Xinghan but not me?

There are so many resources available; if you had just given me a little more, you could have helped me get through this difficult time!

This emotion reached its peak after Ji Yuan Shu's death!

So he chose to join the Unemployed Cult and proactively provided Zhang Yu's information!

The Unemployed Cult also showed a very positive attitude towards recruiting Zhang Yu!

Just then, Li Xiao finally saw Zhang Yu and the others not far ahead, and a morbid sense of pleasure immediately welled up in his heart!

"Heh heh, Zhang Yu... No matter how good your grades are, how amazing your Transfer Departments, or how outstanding you become in the Artifact Crafting Department department, in the end you'll still end up like me, joining the Demon Cult Sect with me, hahahahaha!"

At the same time, Zhang Yu and the others on the other side also turned around abruptly to look at the imposing figure chasing after them at high speed from behind, as well as Li Xiao further behind!

Seeing Mo Shang Jin being held in the other party's hands, Zhang Yu's heart sank!

At the same time, the imposing figure lightly tapped his fingertips, seemingly drawing upon the power of the Spirit Realm!

One after another, Formation formations were activated, instantly sealing off the entire area!

Then, with a series of loud bangs, the surrounding streets and houses deformed, forming walls that blocked off the entire space!

The imposing figure then said calmly, "You can call me Shadowless!"

"There is no Spirit Realm surveillance here, and the surrounding buildings have been temporarily sealed off. No outsiders will be able to hear our conversation from now on!"

"Zhang Yu, I'd like to invite you to join the Unemployed Cult!"

He then looked at the others present and smiled slightly, saying, "Of course, everyone else is welcome to join us!"

"Sorry, being unemployed is too damaging to my resume, so I'm not considering it for now!" Zhang Yu said with a smile, his mind racing as he considered what to do.

Shadowless said calmly, "Don't you want to hear our conditions first? As long as you're willing to join our sect, you can learn any of the various Cultivation Method we possess!"

"Not only Expert Level Cultivation Method, but also Military-grade Cultivation Method can be passed on to you!"

"It's not just Ten Thousand Laws University; our sect has also dabbled in the Military-grade Cultivation Method of other universities..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart sank. "If what he said is true, then it means that the Unemployed Cult has spies in many universities? That's how they managed to collect Military-grade Cultivation Method from various schools, right?"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity, you don't have any certificates, right?"

Shadowless said calmly, "Why be so fixated on that certificate on the path of Immortal Dao? Cultivating profound Cultivation Method will naturally make you stronger. What difference does it make whether you have a certificate or not? It's just a matter of losing some empty fame and material possessions!"

Zhang Yu sneered, knowing that if he really practiced the Cultivation Method taught by the other party, he would probably become a handle that the other party could firmly hold in their hands!

Seeing the change in Zhang Yu's expression, Shadowless sighed, "It seems you have many misunderstandings about our sect. I can only capture you first and then talk to you slowly!"

Before Shadowless could finish speaking, Zhang Yu's Gang Qi suddenly surged, and he entered the state of a Mountain-Moving Warrior!

Immediately following, the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, along with the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, erupted together, unleashing their full power from the very beginning: Mountain Moving Nine Heavens and Thousand Hand Sacred Martial.

Streams of Gang Qi, like countless powerful figures attacking simultaneously, fiercely surrounded and attacked the Shadowless before them!

Amidst a deafening roar and the tremors of the ground, the Shadowless figure was engulfed by streaks of golden, flame-like Gang Qi!

But the next moment, to everyone's astonishment, Shadowless tore through the Gang Qi in front of him and gently pointed a finger at Zhang Yu's chest!

With a crackling sound, Zhang Yu's golden armor shattered, and a bloody hole burst open in his chest!

"Golden Core." Feeling the surging magical power emanating from Shadowless, a sense of fear welled up in everyone present!

Shadowless said calmly, "If you're willing to come with me properly, you can suffer less!"

Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, Zhang Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which, mixed with Blood Qi Gang Qi, rushed towards Shadowless!

With a casual flick of his wrist, Shadowless dispersed the Blood Qi and then sent Zhang Yu flying once more with a palm strike from a distance!

This time, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, feeling that Zhang Yu was taking a beating a little too seriously!

At the same time, Zhang Yu's mind raced. "Should I use my Divine Spiritual Root?"

"Foundation Establishment versus Golden Core cultivator... my win rate is 0!"

"Using the concealment ability of my Divine Spiritual Root, I might be able to find a chance to escape! But that would expose my secret!"

Zhang Yu knew that if this secret were exposed here, it wouldn't just be exposed to the Demon Cult, but also to Yu Xinghan and the others!

As for joining the Demon Cult, that was the worst possible option for Zhang Yu. He even suspected that if he joined the Demon Cult, the Idiot Ritual would be activated and kill him!
