"Is there someone missing?"

Someone asked.

In the silence, this statement sounded particularly loud.

At this moment, those who thought they had missed something began to speak up one after another.

"It seems that Lin Ye hasn't returned yet?"

"Indeed, I checked again, I'm definitely not mistaken, Lin Ye hasn't come back!"

"What's going on? Lin Ye is missing?"

"Could it be the Abyss demons causing trouble again?"

The stands were instantly in an uproar.

Almost everyone was asking about Lin Ye's whereabouts, clearly very concerned about where Lin Ye had gone.

Some even directly attributed Lin Ye's disappearance to a conspiracy by the Abyss demons.

As the overall person in charge at the center, Marshal Gu, although confused about Lin Ye's whereabouts, immediately issued an order to have his staff close the conference room doors and cut off all signal connections within the center.

All of this was simply to prevent the panicked people present from spreading the news about Lin Ye.

Three years ago, when Lin Ye got lost in Alternate Space, his followers also caused quite a lot of trouble.

They wanted to force the Alliance to come forward and declare war on the Abyss demons.

This was evidently an unrealistic demand, without considering whether the human world's current power truly had the confidence to fully declare war on the demons.

They were just blinded by their fanatic faith.

Luckily, over time, these people gradually calmed down, and that chaos was suppressed.

This incident showed the Alliance a budding new sect, which later led to secretly supporting the creation of a sect.

This sect, the Holy Flame Sect, is currently the most active.

Though this happened years ago, the impact it caused remains vivid to this day.

With this precedent, Marshal Gu, being an old hand, naturally thought first about temporarily shutting down information.

After all, the cause of the situation wasn't clear yet, so it's best not to let these people spread things all over the place.

Especially with the Holy Flame Sect's influence being much greater than before.

If these followers find out about this, it would indeed be hard to handle if they start causing trouble...

Fortunately, those who were able to attend today were mainly well-known or highly qualified individuals.

Soon, under the persuasion of the staff, they quieted down and awaited investigation by various Alliance personnel.

The handling speed was remarkably quick.

Besides Marshal Gu's quick decision-making, Chen Daosheng's strong execution ability also played an essential role.

He was out there managing various affairs with no oversights, perfectly handled.

At this moment, he reported the situation to Marshal Gu.

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry too much, Lin Ye will be fine..." Marshal Gu patted Chen Daosheng on the shoulder, comforting him.

Others might not know, but Marshal Gu was well aware that Chen Daosheng was definitely the person most worried about Lin Ye in the venue.

"Yes, I know." Chen Daosheng nodded slightly, not saying much more.

Then, at that moment, Liu Sheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Lin Ye is fine. He's still in the Divine Hall; the Alliance Leader just kept him there."

Hearing this, both Marshal Gu and Chen Daosheng were a bit stunned.

Since they didn't want to cause a stir, they hadn't deliberately publicized Liu Sheng's identity.

After all, the status of the Vice Alliance Leader was quite esteemed, especially since Liu Sheng was a potential candidate to reach the Ultimate Strong Level, the strongest among current human Hundred-level Professionals, and also Liu Tianyuan's grandson.

Each of these identities was absolutely astounding on its own.

"Is it... the Alliance Leader who kept Lin Ye?" Marshal Gu was somewhat surprised.

But Chen Daosheng realized it, saying, "That's right! The Alliance Leader mentioned wanting to meet with Lin Ye before..."

"Exactly, so he's gone to find Lin Ye now... You know, when the Leader decided to come out once in a while, he just stopped by to see Lin Ye." Liu Sheng said.

His nonchalant manner left Chen Daosheng and Marshal Gu speechless.

Are these big shots always this wilful?

Deciding to act on impulse without notifying anyone?

Luckily, no major commotion happened; otherwise, it would have been another headache.

"You handled things quite well this time, and acted very swiftly. Marshal Gu, you've trained sufficiently below these years, it's time to train at the center!"

At this moment, Liu Sheng suddenly spoke.

At these words, Marshal Gu couldn't help but widen his eyes, unable to hide his inner joy!

Clearly, this meant sending him back to Headquarters!

He had worked diligently at the Shenzhen City Center for so many years, just to gain an opportunity for promotion, right?

He thought it would take at least another four or five years waiting for those old folks to move before getting a chance, yet Liu Sheng's words directly saved him five years of hard work!

How could he not be excited?

"I... Alright! I can leave at any time!" he said, his eyes shining.

"Hmph, don't think you can just pat your butt and leave immediately! Finish up all the tasks you're supposed to handle first!" Liu Sheng said with a half-joking scolding.

"Don't worry, Vice Alliance Leader! With Daosheng here, the center will definitely avoid any trouble!" Marshal Gu replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Daosheng straightened himself up significantly.

Marshal Gu's words undoubtedly meant he wanted Chen Daosheng to take over the position of center leader.

Obviously, everything was ultimately decided by the Alliance Headquarters.

"Him? Though he's a bit young, I saw how he handled things just now, quite impressive, let him take over your position!" Liu Sheng acknowledged approvingly.

"Thank you for your promotion, Vice Alliance Leader!" Chen Daosheng immediately bowed in gratitude.

For a moment, he felt somewhat dazed himself...

From joining the Professional Center in Shan City to transferring to Shenzhen City Center, it had actually been just over four years.

But he directly leaped from the bottom tier to the position of the top-level center leader.

Had it been a few years ago, he would definitely have thought he was dreaming.

...

Meanwhile, amidst the external chaos, Lin Ye was alone in the Divine Hall, quietly waiting.

He knew, in the human world, the only entity capable of keeping him in the Skill Divine Hall was that supreme presence.

At that moment, he finally sensed a fluctuation coming from a particular direction.

However, he did not move, as if everything was unknown.

The next moment, upon hearing the sound of footsteps reaching the ground, he immediately turned to look.

He saw a tall yet somewhat ordinary-looking middle-aged man appear not far from him.
