Boss Mo squinted his eyes, knowing it was no longer appropriate for him to stay here. Seeing Ye Guichen easily subdue this group of elites with just two moves, he gave Ye Guichen a deep look and quietly retreated.

"Boss Mo, you've really struck gold here." After Boss Mo left, he got into an off-road vehicle not far away.

Inside the car, a voice filled with envy spoke.

Boss Mo turned to look at the person: "Mr. Feng, who asked you to be slow in taking action? Do you know what instructions Lord Military God has?"

The person sitting in the rear seat was none other than Feng Guoguo, newly appointed as one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors under the Military God.

After the battle in the grand martial competition, Feng Guoguo personally witnessed Ye Guichen's miraculous feats. Not only did he report back to the Military God, but he also informed him of Ye Guichen's formidable prowess.

The Military God only said two words: Recruit him.

Initially, Feng Guoguo didn't quite understand the Military God's intentions. But after pondering for a long time, he finally realized that someone like Ye Guichen, whose mindset was absolutely elevated, would never be easily bound by anyone.

The only thing to do was to recruit him.

As for getting Ye Guichen to join the corps, that would depend on fate.

Therefore, after receiving the Military God's directive, Feng Guoguo came to Jinling specifically to have more contact with Ye Guichen.

Of course, before actually making contact, Feng Guoguo had to make arrangements with Boss Mo to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As it happened, Feng Guoguo learned today that Ye Guichen was invited by Boss Mo to be a coach, so he quietly followed along to observe.

Seeing Ye Guichen in action left a deep impression on Feng Guoguo.

This time, Feng Guoguo felt that Ye Guichen was much more unfathomable than during the grand martial competition.

The speed of his cultivation left Feng Guoguo far behind.

"Boss Mo, even though Huo Feng is a top-tier master nowadays, wouldn't he still be no match for a Half-step Master?" Feng Guoguo sighed.

Boss Mo nodded: "Indeed! I was worried Ye Guichen wouldn't be able to handle these guys since Huo Feng and his team are elites of our Eastern Corps. They usually stand at the pinnacle, which inevitably makes them arrogant, forgetting there are always people stronger than them. But unexpectedly, Ye Guichen utterly crushed them with absolute superiority. Haha, I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed."

Boss Mo's heart was mixed with complex emotions.

Huo Feng and his team were his prized assets. He used to think that while they might not be the top talents in the country, at least they should rank in the top twenty.

But now, under Ye Guichen's hand, they seemed as weak as chicks.

The bitterness in his heart was imaginable.

Inexplicably, he felt even more eager for Ye Guichen.

Boss Mo glanced at Feng Guoguo: "Mr. Feng, is Lord Military God sending you to snatch Ye Guichen away? Let me make it clear first; Ye Guichen is a treasure I painstakingly found. Even if Lord Military God appreciates talent, he has to wait until Ye Guichen trains my people before discussing anything."

Feng Guoguo chuckled: "Boss Mo, you're overthinking. Lord Military God has no intention of taking Mr. Ye away, just wants me to have more contact with him."

"Really?" Boss Mo was visibly skeptical.

Feng Guoguo said seriously: "Why would I lie to you? Boss Mo, to be honest with you, during my first interaction with Mr. Ye, I was confident I could surpass him. But when we met again, I knew I couldn't catch up to him in this lifetime. Since you could invite him, it's a huge advantage for your Eastern Corps. But Lord Military God's intention is clear. Mr. Ye is still young, and his future is long. Early confinement in the corps might hinder his development."

"Of course, if Mr. Ye agrees to join the corps, it's for the best. But if he doesn't, he can't be taken away by others. At least in Hua Country, he's a valuable talent. As long as he has a righteous heart, whatever he does is worthy of affirmation."

Boss Mo's pupils slightly dilated, feeling emotional: "Lord Military God sees far indeed! But Mr. Feng, as one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, did you come to Jinling solely to contact Ye Guichen?"

Feng Guoguo smiled slightly, lowered his voice: "Boss Mo, it's said that your eyes are sharp. The rumors seem to be true. Haha, besides contacting Mr. Ye, I have a secret mission from Lord Military God."

"What mission?" Boss Mo straightened his back, seriously said: "Please instruct!"

Feng Guoguo patted Boss Mo's shoulder, indicating him not to be nervous: "This matter hasn't been concluded yet. I'm only investigating secretly. Just pretend you aren't aware. If the corps is needed, I will inform you. But before the matter is clear, I don't want to alert the enemy."

Boss Mo understood Feng Guoguo's meaning, nodded: "I understand. But since Lord Military God asked you to investigate personally, this matter must be..."

Feng Guoguo asked: "Do you know the Eternal Life Hall?"

Boss Mo paused, thought for a moment, and said pensively: "I seem to have heard of it, but it was many years ago. So, is the investigation related to the Eternal Life Hall?"

Feng Guoguo shook his head: "It's just a suspicion for now. Lord Military God is worried that the Eternal Life Hall might be reviving, so he sent me to investigate secretly. Also, half an hour ago, I received news that the Daoist Sect has also caught wind of it. If the matter is true, Jinling might become the center of a whirlpool. Your task will be heavy."

Boss Mo's expression became more serious: "If it's truly about the Eternal Life Hall, it will be big trouble."

Feng Guoguo smiled bitterly: "Boss Mo, perhaps you don't fully understand the Eternal Life Hall. Before coming, I specifically reviewed documents from a hundred years ago. What I found was terrifying. The documents show that the Eternal Life Hall, in pursuit of the Path of Eternal Life, killed indiscriminately. Despite the joint efforts of three thousand masters from the Daoist Sect, they barely managed to exterminate the Eternal Life Hall but suffered heavy losses. Since then, the Daoist Sect has been in decline. Even after nearly a century, they still haven't recovered."

"We only know that the world has been peaceful in these years, and the Daoist Sect has secluded itself for cultivation. It seems to have gradually faded from the public's view. But sect members always monitored worldly affairs, fearing any remnants of the Eternal Life Hall. If there are indeed remnants of the Eternal Life Hall, it would be difficult for the current Daoist Sect to completely eradicate it."

"After all, without full confidence, the Eternal Life Hall wouldn't reveal itself rashly."

After hearing Feng Guoguo's words, Boss Mo realized the severity of the situation, furrowed his brows: "Mr. Feng, what are your plans then?"

Feng Guoguo shook his head: "No concrete plans yet. But now, there are three Daoists from Heavenly Master Tao in Jinling, coincidentally staying at Mr. Ye's place. So, I plan to contact them first, understand the situation, and then make a decision."

As he said this, Feng Guoguo's gaze passed through the car window, landing on Ye Guichen: "I hope the news isn't true..."
