A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Deep inside Warehouse No. 13 at the old port wharf.

Night Owl stood in front of the circular monitoring screen, his narrow eyes fixed on one of the images.

In the image, near the red dot representing Zhou Zixuan's safe house, several slowly moving cursors have appeared, which are energy feedback from the Spirit Group's scouts on the periphery.

Everything seemed to be unfolding according to his plan—the Spirit Group's attention was firmly drawn to this scene.

The staff officer, tablet in hand, strode closer and whispered, "Vice Sect Master, Shadow Bat has relayed preliminary observations. There are six people in the safe house, led by that young man named Zhou Zixuan, who is developing a detailed reconnaissance plan for the dock. Their conversation indicates that they are still unclear about the specific purpose of the celebration, and their attention is still focused on the unusual gathering of people and energy fluctuations at the dock itself."

A cold smile crept across Night Owl's face: "Very well. Let them keep guessing, keep investigating. This dock was originally prepared as their stage."

"However..." The staff officer pushed up his glasses and pulled up another report.

"Shadow Bat has also confirmed that the young man who entered the Azure Phoenix Group's safe house this afternoon, and Ye Heng, who later accompanied Lin Ruofei and claimed to be from the Spirit Group, are the same person."

"Moreover, the Hidden Bat cannot track him. The other party has extremely strong counter-surveillance capabilities, or his cultivation level is far beyond what was expected."

"His cultivation level far exceeds expectations?" Night Owl repeated the phrase, his eyes sharp as knives. "Does the Demon Sea Spirit Group, or even the Jinling Spirit Group, have any experts of this level? Kang Bo? Jin Xuan? They're both on our surveillance list, their whereabouts are clear. This Ye Heng... what's his background?"

The staff officer shook his head: "There's no matching record in the database. It's like it appeared out of thin air. But to make someone as unruly as Tianlang follow him with such respect, and to make Lin Ruofei agree to cooperate after a brief encounter... that's probably not simple."

"Furthermore, Shen Chongshan has also made contact with Lin Ruofei because of Ye Heng, and he may have already discovered our true target."

Night Owl sneered, "It doesn't matter. So what if Shen Chongshan found out? He's only just entered the late Foundation Establishment stage. We, on the other hand, have three experts at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. He would never imagine that we are this strong!"

At this point, a burning passion, a mixture of ambition and excitement, ignited within him.

He recalled the promise made privately by the envoy from the Eagle Kingdom—as long as the Demon Sea operation succeeded and he demonstrated sufficient value, he, Night Owl, would be granted a place in the Eagle Kingdom's "Gene Evolution Project," freeing him from the shackles of this mortal body and allowing him to embrace a more powerful and eternal life form!

The Great Xia Kingdom? The Spirit Group? They're nothing but a bunch of frogs in a well, clinging to outdated cultivation systems.

The future world belongs to the Sky Eagle Nation, to a new generation of humans who combine technology and extraordinary abilities! And Night Owl will become one of them!

Clowns, keep your show going. Tomorrow night, the real feast begins.

Inside a safe house near the old port pier.

Zhou Zixuan stood by the window, his back to the other three team members, his gaze fixed on the distant port area with its scattered lights and indistinct outlines.

I've been watching it for almost two days now.

At the port, apart from the workers loading and unloading cargo in an orderly manner, a few unremarkable cargo ships, and some port management personnel and a few security guards patrolling the area, nothing unusual was found.

There was no large-scale gathering of suspicious persons as expected, no obvious energy fluctuations, and not even any unusual flow of supplies was detected.

"Team Leader Zhou... the energy detector and the Lingbo radar haven't responded, and the thermal imaging shows that personnel activity is completely consistent with normal dock operations. Are we... going in the wrong direction?"

Zhou Zixuan gave a soft snort: "The direction is right. The people of Eclipse Moon aren't stupid; they won't openly display 'I'm going to cause trouble' on their faces. The calmer things seem, the more turbulent things are likely underneath. Keep watching; don't miss any details."

The team members exchanged glances and all sighed slightly.

In their view, this was undoubtedly a waste of time, futile, and might even have caused them to miss the real clues.

If I had known, I would have followed Ye Heng and left that day, just like Tianlang.

But they dared not say it outright, because he was Zhou Zixuan, the young master of the Zhou family, and the deputy captain personally appointed by Director Kang—even though many people believed that this appointment was merely because of his father, Zhou Zhenbang.

Zhou Zixuan was of course aware of what his subordinates were thinking.

At the same time, my father's always stern face, filled with disappointment and severity, once again appeared clearly in my mind's eye.

"All you do is hang out with your bunch of scoundrels! Is the Spirit Group some kind of place for you to get your resume polished? You don't do anything productive, you have absolutely no skills. How did I, Zhou Zhenbang, end up with a son like you!"

The elders in the family were pointing and whispering behind my back.

"Zhenbang, Zixuan isn't really suited for the Spirit Group. Let his younger brother give it a try."

"Letting him return to the family and manage some secular businesses wouldn't be a bad idea."

Zhou Zixuan gritted his teeth. This mission was his chance.

He was determined to prove that he wasn't some spoiled brat who only knew how to fool around!

Director Kang entrusted him with such an important task, and although his father didn't say anything, a hint of expectation remained in his eyes. The old folks in the family were also watching.

If he can uncover clues about the Eclipse here, or even stop their conspiracy, everything will be different.

His father would look at him with new respect and acknowledge that he wasn't a useless son. The gossip within the family would turn into envy and awe. Director Kang would value him even more.

As for Ye Heng… a guy of unknown origin and eccentric behavior, even if he's gained some attention temporarily, he'll ultimately be judged by his solid achievements. And Zhou Zixuan is about to make a great contribution!

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the three team members. The dim light from the window illuminated his face, outlining taut lines and the almost obsessive flame burning in his eyes.

"Cheer up, everyone! I know you've spent a lot of energy watching the docks these past two days."

"But think about it, if we catch Eclipse Moon by the tail here and ruin their grand plan in the Demon Sea, what a great achievement that would be! At that time, every one of you would be a hero!"

The bluebird and the rock looked at each other but said nothing.

Zhou Zixuan has said this same thing countless times in the past two days.

They were already immune to this kind of empty promise of encouragement.
