Ye Beiyuan opened her eyes and saw that the giant sword was stuck straight into Ye Heng's head, as if it was going to crush him.

Upon closer inspection, a thin layer of true energy shield was blocking the sword tip just an inch from Ye Heng's scalp, preventing it from advancing any further!

"This...!" She could hardly believe her eyes.

"Ye Heng actually blocked Jin Xuan's full-force attack using only his protective inner energy!"

Even more shocked than her was Jin Xuan.

No one knew the power of this sword better than him.

Back then, he once competed with the elders at home and even injured a master at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm!

Could it be that this young man before us has already reached the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Purple Mansion realm?!

At the age of twenty, his cultivation at the early stage of Foundation Establishment was already quite astonishing.

If it's the Purple Mansion Realm, that's absolutely astonishing!

Ye Heng's body trembled, and a burst of bright yellow true energy erupted, instantly shattering the giant sword that Jin Xuan was so proud of.

He grabbed Jin Xuan by the neck and lifted him up like a chick.

"If these are all the methods you have, then you might as well die."

Ye Heng's words were incredibly cold, like those of a merciless grim reaper.

"Senior, spare my life!"

For the first time in his life, Jin Xuan had his neck grabbed, and the feeling of death made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His previous arrogant demeanor completely disappeared.

In those short ten minutes, Campbell's emotions went up and down like a rollercoaster.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Jin Xuan would be completely powerless against Ye Heng!

He immediately changed his tune.

"Senior Ye, please show mercy!"

It's exactly the same thing, just with a different name.

Ye Heng looked at him with disgust. When Jin Xuan attacked him, Kang Bo was actually fully capable of blocking him, but he did not do so and just stood by and watched.

They said one nice thing after another, trying to be the good guy on both sides.

There's absolutely no real action! Their main selling point is a non-stick pan.

"You think you can just show mercy like that? Jin Xuan showed absolutely no mercy when he attacked me!"

As he spoke, he increased the pressure on his hand, and it looked like Jin Xuan's neck was about to be snapped.

At this moment, Ye Beiyuan spoke up.

"Actually, keeping him alive is better than killing him. Isn't a Foundation Establishment Realm henchman quite useful?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Heng loosened his grip slightly.

Campbell immediately added:

"Not bad, not bad! Although Jin Xuan's son, Jin Hong, is utterly wicked and unworthy of being called human, Jin Xuan, as the deputy director of the Spirit Group, is honest and diligent in his cultivation and has helped the country eliminate many spies who have infiltrated the country, as well as traitors who have rebelled against the country."

"He has worked hard all these years without complaint, and even if he hasn't achieved anything great, he has certainly put in a lot of effort. The main problem is that his son is such a scoundrel, which has led him astray."

With just a few words, he attributed all of Jin Xuan's crimes to his son.

For Kang Bo, the death of that parasite Jin Hong was not a loss.

However, a Foundation Establishment Realm expert is still useful to the country, so it's best to keep them if possible.

Ye Beiyuan also said, "Why don't you take him under your command and use him at your disposal? Not only can you make him serve the country, but you can also make him a weapon in your hands."

Ye Heng glanced at the golden Xuan in his hand, his mind beginning to stir.

Since he couldn't be by Su Yingxue's side all the time, having another deputy director as a bodyguard seemed like a good idea.

So he released his grip, giving Jin Xuan a chance to speak.

Jin Xuan collapsed to his knees, clutching his neck and coughing violently.

He was genuinely scared.

In the past, he thought death was nothing, but when that moment was infinitely close, the fear almost overwhelmed him!

He knelt on the ground and crawled to Ye Heng's feet.

Those honors, family pride... he put them all behind him.

Right now, he has only one thought in his mind.

That is to survive.

"I'm willing to serve as your subordinate, please spare my life!"

Campbell watched this scene with mixed feelings.

His former colleague now kneels before Ye Heng like a dog, begging for mercy.

He felt a deep sense of melancholy.

This is the world of cultivators, where strength reigns supreme and life and death are determined by fate.

"Subordinate? You're not worthy. From this day forward, you are a slave to me!"

Ye Heng sneered.

Having said that, Jin Xuan had no choice but to agree.

He then took out a black sphere the size of a soybean from the storage ring on his index finger.

Look closely, this isn't a sphere at all, it's clearly a cluster of extremely tiny insects!

They were crammed together so densely that it made one's scalp tingle.

With a flick of his finger, the black sphere entered Jin Xuan's body through his nasal cavity.

"This is the 'Evil Heart Burns the Body' Gu. Once implanted, if the user harbors malicious thoughts towards the caster or shows any intention to resist, they will be burned by a hundred Gu worms, leaving them unable to die!"

"Moreover, I dare say that no one in the entire Great Xia Kingdom will be able to break this curse!"

He might be able to convince himself to let Jin Xuan be his subordinate.

After all, within the Spirit Group, he was merely the director's subordinate.

But to say that he was Ye Heng's slave would be too humiliating!

The moment this thought arose, he felt a strange sensation throughout his body.

Immediately afterwards, I felt myself being thrown into a furnace, and intense pain shot straight to my brain.

Even more terrifying, he felt his flesh being devoured, and could even hear the gnawing sounds of the worms eating his flesh!

He was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

"I was wrong! I was wrong! I'm willing to be a slave! I'm willing to be a slave!"

Jin Xuan screamed frantically, unable to bear the dual pain of mind and body!

The effect lasted for a minute, but to Jin Xuan it felt like an eternity.

He lay on the ground, pale-faced and covered in sweat.

Looking at this scene, Ye Beiyuan could hardly imagine what kind of pain Jin Xuan had gone through.

She walked up to Ye Heng and said:

"I'm sorry, I wanted my dad to stop Jin Xuan, but he wouldn't agree... But thankfully, you handled it yourself. I didn't expect you to be so strong..."

Ye Heng smiled and said, "It's enough that you have the intention."

Seeing Ye Beiyuan with her head down, he suddenly couldn't help but pat her head.

Ye Beiyuan blushed and, unusually, did not resist.

If it were any of the people from the Spirit Group, they would have been chopped into eight pieces long ago if they dared to do this.

Seeing this, Campbell was also delighted.

Brother Ye, it seems the task you entrusted to me is about to be completed.

But... Su Yingxue seems to be Ye Heng's fiancée!

This is a bit troublesome.

He no longer thought about these things, nor were they something he should worry about.

So he stepped forward and asked with concern, "I'm glad you're alright..."

Embarrassingly, Ye Heng completely ignored him.

Ye Heng withdrew his hand and bid farewell to Ye Beiyuan.

"It's getting late, I should head back. See you next time!"

After saying that, he gently pushed off with his legs and flew into the air.

Going back? Probably to see her fiancée.

As Ye Beiyuan thought this, a feeling of inexplicable unease arose in her heart.

She began to wonder if he would do the same if she were in danger, rushing to her rescue without stopping.
