"Yes!"

Jin Yunhai walked out of the President’s Mansion and headed straight for the helicopter airfield.

On the way, he thought of something and quickly took out his phone to make a call to the pilot office of Divine Concealment Island.

The call was answered by Zheng Lie. "Hello, Commander Jin Yunhai."

Hearing Zheng Lie precisely identify him, Jin Yunhai couldn’t help but suspect that Captain Huo’s right-hand man was like a computer machine—how else could he accurately remember their phone numbers?

"Hello, I’m Jin Yunhai. There’s something I’d like to inform Captain Huo about."

Zheng Lie maintained his indifferent tone: "Please go ahead; the captain is unwell, and I will relay the message."

With Zheng Lie saying that, Jin Yunhai didn’t hesitate further. He said, "Miss Xu Xingguang has entered the No-man District of the Kunze Mountain Range and is currently missing. I think Captain Huo might want to hear about something related to Miss Xu."

Jin Yunhai is neither blind nor stupid.

Last time, when he saw Captain Huo accompany Xu Xingguang to the Jiang Family wedding in West Continent City, he guessed that Captain Huo had unusual intentions toward Miss Xu.

Miss Xu entering the No-man District doesn’t mean they will necessarily find her.

But if the Huo Family is willing to intervene, things will naturally go much smoother.

Zheng Lie looked somewhat surprised, though not shocked, only saying, "Thank you for letting us know," and then hanging up directly.

Jin Yunhai raised an eyebrow.

Knowing Miss Xu has entered the No-man District, is this Huo Wen’an’s attitude?

Shouldn’t he be panicking?

Shouldn’t he immediately send someone to the Kunze Mountain Range to look for Xu Xingguang?

Jin Yunhai secretly pondered, perhaps the relationship between Captain Huo and Miss Xu isn’t as he imagined.

After more than seven hours of flying, Jin Yunhai’s helicopter finally reached the outskirts of the No-man District in the Kunze Mountain Range from the Capital City.

As he was struggling to find a suitable landing spot, he noticed a white helicopter parked in the valley below.

Jin Yunhai immediately grabbed a pair of binoculars and looked down at the valley, discovering that the helicopter was marked with an ancient script "Huo."

That was a helicopter from the Huo Family on Divine Concealment Island.

Divine Concealment Island is located at the southern end of Xia Country; it takes at least ten hours to reach the Kunze Mountain Range from there. However, he only needed seven hours from the Capital City.

This means that even before he called Zheng Lie, Captain Huo’s people had already set out for the Kunze Mountain Range by helicopter.

See, if this isn’t love, then what is?

However, that’s not all.

When Jin Yunhai saw the emaciated man sitting next to the helicopter in a wheelchair, he squinted his eyes.

Huo Wen’an had come in person!

As the commander of the Xia Country Alliance Army, Jin Yunhai was well-informed about the internal affairs of Divine Concealment Island.

To his knowledge, Huo Wen’an’s condition had worsened quickly during his month-long return to Divine Concealment Island.

The Ghost Doctor’s Divine Hand, Ye Mingluo, stayed by his side daily, carrying an emergency medical pack, showing how dire his situation had become.

At this moment, the Huo Wen’an appearing in Jin Yunhai’s binoculars indeed looked like someone on the brink of death.

He wore long sleeves and trousers, his body appearing so thin as if a mere squeeze could break him. His hand clutched a handkerchief, which was noticeably stained with blood.

He truly seemed to have little time left.

Yet, such a person already halfway into the Yama Hall came to the perilous forest upon hearing the news of Xu Xingguang entering the No-man District.

Jin Yunhai put down his binoculars and murmured, "This is true love, damn it."

Suddenly, he felt a bit sympathetic towards Huo Wen’an.

A dying man who, in his final moments, encountered the love of his life.

How lamentable.

"Commander, our helicopter is malfunctioning; it can’t enter the airspace of the No-man District. We’ll have to parachute down."

"Okay."

Jin Yunhai and his subordinates parachuted down around the valley, removing the parachutes and stepping on the overgrown grass towards Huo Wen’an.

Huo Wen’an was in a false sleep, seemingly not hearing his footsteps.

After staring at the paleness of the other’s face for a while, Jin Yunhai frowned and said, "Captain Huo, why did you come personally?"

Huo Wen’an then opened his eyes and looked at Jin Yunhai.

But the eyes that were always deep and dark now appeared bloodshot.

Huo Wen’an said, "My men have been inside for over two hours."

Jin Yunhai noticed a bundle of ropes of various colors tied to the trees beside them, each rope leading to someone risking their life to enter the No-man District to find Xu Xingguang.

These individuals should all be Huo Wen’an’s most loyal subordinates.

He obviously didn’t want his people to get lost in the No-man District.

Jin Yunhai thought about the legends concerning Huo Wen’an.

Legends said Huo Wen’an was a monster who emerged from Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, a being devoid of humanity, killing as casually as chopping trees, treating human life as worthless.

But that monster in the legend worried his subordinates might die in the No-man District.

Jin Yunhai pulled on the ropes and said, "The No-man District is so vast; what good are these ropes?"

Huo Wen’an said, "Including the ropes on their backs, they’re about ten thousand meters long."

Ten thousand meters.

This was the safety line he set for his subordinates.

Jin Yunhai frowned and asked, "If you can’t find Xu Xingguang beyond that distance, what then?"

Huo Wen’an closed his eyes, and lazily said, "Then they all come back."

"Just give up on the search?" Jin Yunhai seemed taken aback.

Shaking his head, Huo Wen’an said, "No, then I’ll go find her personally."
