"Of course, I had to come for something this big."
Su Wanli lowered his arm, feeling somewhat perplexed. Every time he tried to find fault with Ye Feng, he found nothing to criticize. Whether it was Ye Feng's appearance, personality, or abilities, he was undoubtedly one of the best among the younger generation that Su Wanli had ever encountered.
"Ye Feng, take a seat. I'll brief you on the latest intelligence we've gathered."
"Alright."
As Ye Feng sat down, Su Wanli picked up a remote control, and a map of Shu City appeared on the whiteboard in front of the three of them.
"Take a look. This is the latest terrain map we've collected. When I received word that criminals had entered the country, I immediately set up surveillance at every key transportation point. However, after several days of investigation, we've received no reports of any suspicious activity."
"So, I think there's a high probability that the group is already hiding somewhere in Shu City. Considering their target is likely my niece, Li Mucheng, I specifically checked whether there are any open or abandoned areas near where she is staying. But the results showed nothing of the sort."
With that, Su Wanli stood up from the couch and walked slowly toward the whiteboard. He zoomed in on the area where Li Mucheng was located, noticing that aside from a mountain behind her residence, there was only a main road leading into the city.
"The place where Li Mucheng is staying is highly defensible. Old Li and I have already deployed a large number of security personnel at every corner of the estate. If they dare to come in, they won't stand a chance of escaping."
On the side, Li Jing, who had been listening attentively, glanced back at Ye Feng, who was frowning deeply. Sensing something was off, he gestured for Su Wanli to pause and turned to Ye Feng. "Ye Feng, what do you think?"
"I think... they might not come by land."
"Not by land? Are you joking? Are you saying they'll come from the sky? Or maybe from the sea..."
As Su Wanli mentioned the word "sea," he suddenly realized that just a few dozen kilometers away from where Li Mucheng was staying, there was a coastal road. If the criminals were to sneak in from the sea, no one would notice until it was too late.
"Quick! Send a team to guard the coastal entrance immediately. If there's any suspicious activity along the way, take control by force."
Su Wanli immediately ordered his personal bodyguard, who was standing by the door.
"Yes, sir."
The bodyguard nodded and left the room.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Li Jing also nodded in approval. It seemed that inviting Ye Feng here today was the right decision.
Su Wanli stared at the whiteboard for a long time before sighing heavily. He had been focusing entirely on land routes, as the coastal area seemed unrelated to Shu City. But after hearing Ye Feng's suggestion, he realized that his vigilance had weakened due to the long period of peace.
"Fortunately, there's still time. At this hour, they probably won't make a move. As long as we secure the coastal area before nightfall, we'll be much safer."
"Actually, I don't think they necessarily have to wait until night to..."
As Li Jing and Su Wanli listened to Ye Feng's explanation, he suddenly paused mid-sentence, then abruptly stood up from the couch. The bodyguard nearby immediately became alert, watching Ye Feng closely, worried that he might do something unexpected.
"What's wrong, Ye Feng?"
Li Jing straightened up, his expression serious. In his eyes, Ye Feng was someone who always remained calm. If he was showing such urgency, something major must have happened.
"Something's wrong! Li Mucheng is in danger!"
"What?"
Before Li Jing could react, Ye Feng rushed over to the bodyguard and snatched the gun from his waist. His speed was so fast that the bodyguard didn't even have time to react. At the same time, Ye Feng shouted, "Get the car ready!"
The bodyguard was about to chase after Ye Feng, but Su Wanli stopped him.
"Don't chase him. Get the car ready! Old Li, stay here and contact Li Mucheng's people. This kid must have discovered something."
"Alright."
As an important figure, Li Jing couldn't afford to show himself. While he called for reinforcements, he anxiously repeated Li Mucheng's name in his mind.
"Li Mucheng, please don't let anything happen to you..."
Ye Feng, who had just left the room, quickly found the driver who had brought him earlier. "Quick, take me to Li Mucheng's estate."
"But Mr. Ye, without the CEO's orders..."
"No time for orders! If we don't hurry, Li Mucheng will be in danger!"
Hearing Li Mucheng's name, the driver clenched his teeth. Judging from Ye Feng's expression, something serious must have happened. Without hesitation, he opened the car door and started the engine.
"Mr. Ye, get in!"
With the roar of the engine, the car disappeared from the parking lot.
......
**[Emergency Mission: Rescue Li Mucheng]**
**[Failure Penalty: Host Elimination]**
**[Mission Reward: Unknown]**
Seeing the rows of red text appear on the system panel, Ye Feng had never felt so tense and urgent. When he saw the words "Rescue Li Mucheng" while sitting on the couch, he immediately realized something was wrong. It was highly likely that the group had already infiltrated the estate, and the people inside might not even have the ability to resist.
Considering Li Mucheng's danger, Ye Feng didn't hesitate to leave the room. Only now, sitting in the car, did he notice the failure penalty.
Hah... System, you're really ruthless. No missions for a long time, and now you drop a big one on me.
"Teacher."
Li Mucheng's sweet voice echoed in Ye Feng's ears. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked around, only to realize it was just his imagination. Recalling his time with Li Mucheng, Ye Feng clenched his fists even tighter.
Even without the failure penalty, he wouldn't hesitate to save Li Mucheng. Not for any other reason, but simply because she was his student.
If a teacher doesn't save their student, do they even deserve the title of teacher?
......
"Boom!"
Another explosion rocked the estate, leaving behind wreckage and scorch marks. Gunfire echoed intermittently, plunging the entire estate into a scene of chaos and destruction.
"Any luck? Can you get through?"
Ah Fu, holding a pistol, turned to the butler, who was frantically dialing a phone.
"No signal. All communication lines have been cut off. Anyone who tried to drive out to call for reinforcements didn't make it! These people have specialized equipment to block our distress signals."
The butler trembled and sobbed, clearly terrified by the situation.
"Ah Fu..."
A soft voice called out to Ah Fu. He turned around and quickly said, "Miss... stay hidden! Don't let anyone find you! The CEO is on his way. We'll protect you."
"What about... my teacher?"
"Ye Feng is definitely on his way too. Don't worry."
"Okay..."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
