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

Sirius unconsciously held his breath for a moment.

He had long suspected that Ye Heng held a special position, but the fact that Jin Xuan would bow down to this extent was far beyond his expectations.

Jin Xuan's arrogance is well-known within the Spirit Group. Apart from a few bigwigs in the General Bureau, when has he ever treated anyone else with such an attitude? Just who exactly is this Senior Ye?

The doubts in his heart grew like a snowball, but Tianlang showed no sign of it on his face. He simply focused his gaze more intently on Ye Heng's back.

He didn't ask, but silently noted down the coordinates and quickly planned the fastest route from the current safe house to the temporary command post of the Demon Sea Spirit Group.

"Senior Ye, this way. There's a dedicated lane, it's faster." Tianlang spoke up at the right moment, pointing to the underground parking lot entrance in another direction of the residential area.

Before setting off, he had memorized the key locations and passage information provided by the Demon Sea Spirit Group.

Ye Heng nodded and followed Tianlang underground.

The two got into a black sedan that Tianlang had obtained through special privileges. The car silently drove into the slightly congested traffic of the Demon Sea in the afternoon, but Tianlang was extremely familiar with the routes and could always find a relatively smooth path to weave through.

About twenty minutes later, the car drove into what looked like an ordinary technology park and stopped in a specific area of ​​the underground parking lot of an inconspicuous office building.

After several rigorous identity verification and security checks, Tianlang led Ye Heng into an elevator that required a special access card and iris verification, and they went directly down to the third basement level.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a command center brimming with modern technology.

A huge circular screen wall displayed real-time monitoring images, energy fluctuation graphs, and data streams of key areas throughout the Demon Sea. Dozens of staff members were busy at their respective control panels, exchanging hushed conversations.

A tense yet orderly atmosphere permeated the air.

In the meeting area separated by transparent glass on one side of the command center, several people were sitting around a table.

Jin Xuan was wearing a dark uniform from the Spirit Group, his brows furrowed, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

Sitting next to him were several older, capable-looking individuals who appeared to be high-ranking members of the Demon Sea Spirit Group.

Jin Xuan noticed Ye Heng's figure almost immediately upon his appearance at the entrance of the command center.

He got up quickly, his movements even a little hasty.

The others around the conference table also noticed Jin Xuan's unusual behavior and followed his gaze toward the door.

When they saw that the person who walked in was an unusually young stranger, and that the person beside him was Tianlang from Jinling, a look of surprise and doubt flashed in their eyes.

Jin Xuan no longer cared about the opinions of his colleagues.

"Senior Ye! You've arrived."

The address "Senior Ye" sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet yet busy command center.

Several high-ranking members of the Demon Sea Spirit Group showed astonished expressions, exchanging incredulous glances.

They knew Jin Xuan's temper and arrogance; even when facing a special envoy from the General Bureau, he wouldn't necessarily be so respectful. This young man…

Although Tianlang was mentally prepared, his heart still skipped a beat when he saw Jin Xuan make such a gesture towards Ye Heng in front of everyone.

He took a half step back without making a sound, standing to the side and behind Ye Heng, his eyes lowered, suppressing all his shock.

"Senior Ye, these are the key figures from the Demon Sea Spirit Group, discussing a plan to deal with Eclipse Moon. You…"

"Come out with me for a moment," Ye Heng interrupted him, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Yes, yes." Jin Xuan hurriedly replied, without even bothering to explain to his colleagues, and followed Ye Heng step by step towards a small lounge outside the command center.

Sirius hesitated for a moment and did not follow immediately.

He realized that the conversation might involve some inside information that he was not yet in a position to know.

He chose to stay near the entrance of the command center, where he could observe the situation while maintaining a proper distance. However, his gaze involuntarily followed the backs of Ye Heng and Jin Xuan, his heart filled with turmoil.

The door to the lounge closed gently.

Jin Xuan stood in front of Ye Heng with his back straight but his head slightly lowered, his attitude extremely respectful, completely lacking the imposing presence he once had as the deputy director of the Jinling Spirit Group.

He didn't even dare to ask Ye Heng's purpose, but simply waited quietly for instructions. The Gu worms within his body seemed to be silently reminding him that the will of this young man before him was a law he had to obey.

"You don't need to worry about things here in the Demon Sea for now. I'll handle the Eclipse Moon mission."

Jin Xuan suddenly looked up, a look of confusion and unease flashing in his eyes: "Senior Ye, what do you mean?"

"Go to Su Yingxue right now. She's in the Demon Sea negotiating a cooperation deal; find out her exact location yourself. You only have one mission."

"That means protecting her safety until I let you leave. No mistakes are allowed."

Su Yingxue? Jin Xuan understood instantly.

That's right, the president of the Su Group, Ye Heng's fiancée. So, Senior Ye came to the Demon Sea in person not only for the mission, but also mainly for this woman.

A complex emotion welled up in Jin Xuan's heart.

That day, her son was deposed and she became a slave, all because of this woman.

But now, he has to protect this woman.

Despite his mixed feelings, he had no room for negotiation.

"Yes, Senior Ye." Jin Xuan suppressed all distracting thoughts and replied in a deep voice.

"I'll be there right away. I'll make sure Miss Su is absolutely safe. Anyone who wants to harm her will have to step over my dead body first."

Ye Heng neither confirmed nor denied Jin Xuan's assurance.

What he needs is not empty promises, but tangible results.

"Remember what you said." Ye Heng gave Jin Xuan one last look. His gaze was calm and unwavering, yet it made Jin Xuan feel an invisible pressure.

"Go."

Jin Xuan said no more, bowed slightly again, then turned around, opened the door and walked out quickly.

Ye Heng stood alone in the lounge for a moment.

Arranging for Jin Xuan to protect Su Yingxue put his mind at ease. With Jin Xuan's cultivation level and his position as the deputy director of the Spirit Group, he was more than capable of handling most overt and covert threats in the Demon Sea.

This way, he can focus more on dealing with the real problem of the lunar eclipse.

He pushed open the door and walked out of the lounge. Tianlang immediately came to greet him, his eyes questioning, but he still didn't say anything.

"Let's go, let's go find the Arctic," Ye Heng said.

Tianlang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "Yes, Senior Ye. The car is up there."

The two stepped into the elevator again and left the underground command center.
