Chapter 706 Zhang Yu's Plans (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, Zhang Yu continued his design work while also diverting a portion of his attention to this matter. Upon hearing Wen Wuyai's words, a sense of doubt arose in Zhang Yu's heart.

Zhang Yu: If they wanted to forcibly seize it, wouldn't they just crack the code? Why bother signing a transfer agreement?

Wen Wuyai: After Zhenzhen refused to hand over the key to the sword vault, they did indeed intend to force their way in.

Wen Wuyai: However, after forcibly breaking into the sword armory, I discovered that all the swords had been awakened.

Wen Wuyai: If one tries to forcibly seize these swords without the authorization granted by the Seven Emotions God, these swords will self-destruct.

Wen Wuyai: Especially since there is a Nascent Soul level flying sword among them, if it were to self-destruct, even a Nascent Soul level Divine Lord would not be able to stop it, and all the swords in the sword armory would be destroyed.

Wen Wuyai: So they really need to sign the transfer agreement and hand over the authority over the sword vault.

Zhang Yu then asked: "Tell me more about the specifics of Tianjian University."

Through Wen Wuyai's narration, Zhang Yu gradually learned that since the start of the war, Tianjian University had suffered huge losses on the one hand, and on the other hand, the five Nascent Soul Divine Lords had also consumed a lot of assets to advance their cultivation.

Furthermore, Tianjian University has not gained any advantage in the competition for space technology, yet it still has to continuously invest funds in research institutes and the import of space products, resulting in Tianjian University experiencing continuous losses and its economic situation becoming increasingly worse.

To alleviate this situation, Yu Feng Shenjun proposed to take out the sword treasury of Qi Qing Shenjun and convert it into cash to make up for the current deficit of Tianjian University.

While the other four deities remained neutral and did not directly intervene, they would still reap the benefits once the sword vault was breached.

...

Inside Tianjian University.

Bai Zhenzhen sat cross-legged in a quiet room, and a projection appeared in front of her.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the other party and knew that this cultivator named Zhan Yun Zhenjun was a disciple of Yu Feng Shenjun and a powerful figure in Tianjian University.

Zhan Yun Zhenjun spoke up, "Bai Zhenzhen, are you still going to resist?"

He glared coldly at her, thinking to himself, "Bai Zhenzhen, I thought you were a Nascent Soul disciple with the Seven Emotions God watching over you, so you could act like before? Times have changed. Now I am the Nascent Soul disciple, while you are just a Golden Core cultivator."

Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and said, "The sword vault was given to me by my master. If she comes back and finds it gone, how am I supposed to explain it to her?"

Zhan Yun Zhenjun thought to himself, "Trying to intimidate me by using the God of Ages?"

But in the eyes of Zhan Yun Zhenjun, or rather, most of the cultivators from the top ten universities, it's unknown whether the aging gods will be able to return alive after disappearing from the sixth level of Kunxu.

Even if they manage to return alive, the assets of each school have already been divided and absorbed by the Ten Great Schools and the Righteous Alliance. How much strength will the old gods have left? They are no longer a threat.

It can be said that as time goes by, as the cultivation of the new gods continues to grow and they continue to digest various assets, their fear of the aging gods is decreasing.

Seeing that Zhan Yun Zhenjun didn't care at all, Bai Zhenzhen continued, "The swords in the sword armory, ranging from Qi Refining level to Nascent Soul level, are of immeasurable value. You want to take them all away with just a few words? Isn't that going too far?"

Although the Divine Lord Yufeng initially agreed to let Bai Zhenzhen choose three swords, the three swords later became two, then two, then one, and finally he even demanded that the swords be below the Foundation Establishment level, which made Bai Zhenzhen curse inwardly.

Zhan Yun Zhenjun's gaze sharpened, and his eyes seemed to flash with sword light: "Now that the world is undergoing great changes, and the school is facing a life-or-death crisis, everyone should do their part. Why are you still arguing with me about these things?"

"If the Seven Emotions Goddess were still alive, I think she would have personally opened the treasury to donate swords to alleviate the difficulties the school was facing."

Zhan Yun Zhenjun said calmly, "Bai Zhenzhen, the school wants to deal with the sword vault. This is what everyone wants. Don't have any illusions and think that you can monopolize the assets left by the Divine Lord to all the teachers and students."

Bai Zhenzhen suppressed her anger and said, "I can cooperate with the school to make the swords in the armory available for the school's use and employment, at least we won't sell them..."

Zhan Yun Zhenjun waved his hand, interrupting Bai Zhenzhen once again: "They are all assets of the school, how can there be any dispatch or hiring?"

"The school has already signed a contract with Youming University, and these swords will be sold to them. You'd better cooperate as soon as possible. If you delay the school's business, no one can protect you, and no amount of money will be enough for you to pay back."

Bai Zhenzhen's heart sank upon hearing this: "Sell them to the Netherworld University? They'll dismantle the swords one by one, and even the remaining souls within will be..."

Zhan Yun Zhenjun snorted coldly, stopping Bai Zhenzhen from speaking, and then said, "That's not something you should be concerned about."

"Bai Zhenzhen, we've already given you the chance."

"If you continue to resist and try to monopolize the God's assets, it won't just be a simple matter of house arrest. Your accounts will be frozen, your assets will be investigated, and you might be fined until you're bankrupt and burdened with debts you can never repay in your lifetime."

"Think it over carefully."

Seeing Bai Zhenzhen, the former Nascent Soul disciple, now biting her lip and no longer offering any rebuttal, Zhan Yun Zhenjun smiled with emotion.

"It seems we can suppress it for a while longer and see if Qiqing has transmitted anything else to Bai Zhenzhen, so that she can expel it all at once."

The next moment, the projection of Zhan Yun Zhenjun's spirit world had already dissipated in front of Bai Zhenzhen.

Not long after, Zhan Yun Zhenjun in the office noticed a message from Wen Wuyai.

Looking at the message sent by the other party, True Monarch Zhanyun thought to himself, "True Monarch Zhuyi wants to visit Bai Zhenzhen?"

"True Lord Zhuyi, is that Zhang Yu? The privileged son of a university student from Wanfa University, the guy who was forcibly stuffed into the research association by the Magnetic Pole and who raks off funding..."

Thinking of this, True Monarch Zhanyun couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous, lamenting that his own master was not as good at training disciples as Ciji.

However, since Zhan Yun Zhenjun was in charge of Bai Zhenzhen's case, he naturally knew that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had a close relationship.

However, he still coldly refused Wen Wuyai's request.

True Lord Zhanyun: Bai Zhenzhen is currently cooperating with the investigation and is not available to meet with anyone.

At the same time, Zhan Yun Zhenjun understood that cutting off Bai Zhenzhen's connection with the outside world was to isolate and leave Bai Zhenzhen, who had cultivated the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, helpless and ultimately unable to withstand the pressure, so that she would give in.

In his view, this goal should be achieved soon, so how could he let Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen contact each other at the last moment?

At the same time, True Lord Zhanyun also sent a warning to Wen Wuyai.

True Lord Zhanyun: Wen Wuyai, get your facts straight, are you a Heavenly Sword or a Myriad Laws cultivator? The school trained you, not for you to spy on outsiders.

Wen Wuyai quickly replied: "True Lord, Zhang Yu contacted me on his own initiative, I had no choice."

Seeing the former Nascent Soul disciple now so timid and cautious, True Lord Zhanyun couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

To completely eliminate the influence of the Gods of Aging and suppress their disciples and followers, this is what True Lord Zhanyun has been doing for the past dozen months.

After giving Wen Wuyai a warning, True Lord Zhanyun had already returned to his work.

But soon after, a glint flashed in his eyes, and the message that appeared was a friend request from Zhuyi Zhenjun of Wanfa University.

"Hmm? They came directly to our door?"

Zhan Yun Zhenjun initially intended to ignore it, but after thinking about the Magnetic Extreme God of Wanfa University, he ultimately accepted Zhang Yu's friend request.

Zhang Yu: Greetings, True Lord Zhan Yun. I've long admired your name.

True Lord Zhanyun: True Lord Zhuyi, there's no need to be so polite. Just say what's on your mind. I still have school affairs to attend to.

Zhang Yu: I want to see Bai Zhenzhen.

Zhan Yun Zhenjun replied impartially: Bai Zhenzhen is involved in a case of school asset embezzlement. No one can see her until she has finished explaining herself.

Zhang Yu: True Lord Zhan Yun, could you do me a favor? [100 Spirit Coins]

True Lord Zhanyun: True Lord Zhuyi, this is an internal affair of my Heavenly Sword University. Does Wanfa University intend to interfere?

True Lord Zhanyun: If not, please respect yourself and refrain from interfering in the affairs of other schools.

True Lord Zhan Yun: Otherwise, I'd like to ask True Lord Ciji how he teaches his disciples.

After rejecting Zhang Yu, Zhan Yun Zhenjun thought to himself, "Hmph, the second-generation heir of Wanfa School, he still wants to extend his reach to Tianjian?"

In Zhan Yun Zhenjun's view, with the support of Ciji Shenjun, Zhang Yu could indeed act with impunity in Wanfa University and even in the Research Association.

However, if one wants to interfere with Tianjian University, then one is overestimating one's influence.

True Monarch Zhanyun shook his head: "How dare you interfere in the internal affairs of my Heavenly Sword University?"

"Even if your master were to come, it wouldn't work."

Especially now that Wanfa University no longer holds a monopoly on space products, in Zhanyun Zhenjun's view, Tianjian University has no need to be afraid of Wanfa University.

Of course, if Zhang Yu is willing to continue spending money and begging him, Zhan Yun Zhenjun wouldn't mind giving him face.

However, Zhang Yu did not contact Zhan Yun Zhenjun again in the following days, which made Zhan Yun Zhenjun frown slightly and feel a hint of displeasure.

...

On the other hand, after ending his conversation with Zhan Yun Zhenjun, Zhang Yu did not continue to contact the others at Tianjian University.

He knew that with his current strength, financial resources, and influence, it would be very difficult for him to have any impact on the internal affairs of Tianjian University.

"Asking me to fight against the True Lords and Divine Lords within Tianjian University to help Bai Zhenzhen... is too difficult, and it's not my area of ​​expertise."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "However, I also have my own area of ​​expertise... that is to influence the current top ten universities through immortal techniques."

The products Zhang Yu is currently developing and the spatial technology he is using will involve countless industries in the ten universities, and certain choices in certain places can affect the gains and losses of tens of thousands of spirit coins in a school.

And coincidentally, there was one place in this design that he felt was closely related to Tianjian University.
