Just now, he stared intently at the small boat from the shore, not missing any detail, but really couldn't figure out how the burlap sack was switched.

"When they turned, they secretly threw the burlap sack into the sea for another diver waiting there to take," Lin Yifan replied.

"I see!" Boss Ding suddenly understood everything.

Luckily, Lin Yifan had gone into the sea to track them, otherwise, they would have missed the perfect opportunity to catch the intelligence organization's operatives.

After eating, the two of them headed to the county's terminal building, preparing to take a plane to Qiandu County.

Because they were wanted nationwide by the Empire of Dongying, they couldn't take a plane the proper way; so Lin Yifan used the same method he had at Barujia airport, sneaking onto a cargo plane to Qiandu County.

Both Lin Yifan and Boss Ding were powerful cultivators and both possessed advanced Qinggong, so they easily sneaked onto the cargo plane heading to Qiandu County.

After a few hours on the cargo plane, they arrived at Qiandu County.

They quickly used their agility and Qinggong to escape the cargo plane.

Almost the moment the cargo plane door opened, they slipped out with such speed that the airport staff couldn't see them.

Leaving the airport, Lin Yifan and Boss Ding immediately headed to Fukang City; then from Fukang City, to Yongle village.

Though it was called a village, it was about the same size as a town in Shenzhou Country, so it was quite large.

Yongle village was almost completely surrounded by bamboo seas. Looking at the mountain of bamboo, Lin Yifan and Boss Ding felt a sense of powerlessness, unsure where the Shadow Organization's lair could be hidden.

Moreover, they learned that the bamboo sea was off-limits to people.

At that point, their only choice was to wait until night to sneak into the bamboo sea and conduct their reconnaissance.

Given the importance of this base, Lin Yifan speculated it would surely be under full-time, all-around surveillance, making it very difficult for them to slip into the bamboo sea to search for the Shadow Organization's base.

Still, if they didn't do this, they would never find out where the Shadow Organization's lair was. So Lin Yifan decided to take the risk.

He didn't share this speculation with Boss Ding, to avoid making him fearful and hesitant at the critical moment.

Finding an inn nearby, they settled in.

Arriving at Yongle village just in the morning; moving in such bright daylight would be extremely disadvantageous for them. Because when they wanted to hide, they found it very difficult to do so.

So resting here for the day and conserving their strength was a wise choice.

Although they stopped using Qinggong much earlier before reaching Yongle village, their movements were still noticed by spies lurking there.

The Shadow Organization, having long known they would come to rescue the hostages, had arranged traps ahead of time, waiting for them to step into it.

Now that the prey had fallen into the trap, it was time for them to close the net.

So after Lin Yifan and Boss Ding checked into the inn, they began to take action.

Just as Lin Yifan and Boss Ding were lying on the bed, trying to fall asleep, they suddenly sensed something was amiss.

They felt that the other guests in the inn seemed to be quietly going downstairs, not knowing what was happening.

Could it be that the Shadow Organization's cultivators were coming to capture them? Thinking of this, Lin Yifan immediately jumped up and shared his uneasy thoughts with Boss Ding.

After hearing this, Boss Ding felt that Lin Yifan's thoughts aligned with his own, and thus the two became alert right away.

They moved to the window, looking outside to see if forces were gathering around the inn.

Seeing a large group of cultivators dressed in black uniforms, wearing black masks and hats blocking the entire inn, they immediately felt it was not good.

They thought they were being very covert, not realizing they were still found out by the Shadow Organization's cultivators.

Moreover, they had a hunch that the Shadow Organization had likely set this trap ahead of time, waiting for them to fall into it.

They prided themselves on being smart, yet found their cleverness had backfired.

Although Lin Yifan had predicted that the Shadow Organization would eventually track them, he hadn't expected it to be so soon.

And in Pingcheng, he always wore a mask and hat, never showing his face. How did the Shadow Organization confirm that the suspicious man appearing there was him?

Alas! It's too late to say anything now. It was all Boss Ding's fault; if not for his lustful outburst with those two women, his identity wouldn't have been exposed.

Now, Lin Yifan really didn't know if bringing Boss Ding was right or wrong.

Facing danger, Lin Yifan had to use Boss Ding as a shield, saying, "Senior Brother! You kill your way through the front, and I'll escape right behind you."

"Junior Brother, are you betraying your Senior Brother like this?" Boss Ding felt a bit displeased, Lin Yifan was clearly sending him to his death.

"Senior Brother! What's that about me betraying you? Among us, your realm is the highest, isn't it natural for you to lead the way?" Lin Yifan retorted impatiently.

Boss Ding had no counter-argument; it was true. Reluctantly, he asked, "But you can't just do nothing at all, can you?"

"Of course, I won't entirely rely on you. If you're really occupied, I'll handle things myself," Lin Yifan replied.

"That's more like it." Boss Ding felt somewhat comforted.

As long as he didn't have to handle everything, he'd feel it was fair.

After they reached an agreement, they immediately grabbed their weapons and broke through the window.

They had bought the weapons on the way; in Yongle village, they couldn't act without weapons.

Seeing them attempt to escape, the cultivators of the Shadow Organization, who had been waiting outside for a long time—no, to be precise, the cultivators of the Voodoo Sect—immediately closed the net to capture these big fishes.

In the Empire of Dongying, the Shadow Organization tried to avoid showing themselves, to maintain a level of mystery and avoid having their weaknesses detected by hidden enemies.

So, when needed, they let their powerful subordinates deal with the issues. Thus, the affiliated Voodoo Sect became their executing agents.

They had originally taken in the remnants of this sect to handle all external troubles for them.

As Voodoo Sect's forces encircled them, Boss Ding angrily released two arcs of Blade Qi, trying to break the enemies' siege.

In the Empire of Dongying, it was hard to buy swords, so they had to buy two Empire of Dongying military sabers on the way.

Blades and swords have many similarities. As long as the martial arts were the same, they could equally unleash fierce energy.
