"Exactly! It’s the smell of decay! So, do you understand why I chose XianY now?"

"I get it! It’s said that XianY has many large tombs! This means that the headquarters of the Heavenly Secret Sect might be underground! It’s even possible that it’s within one of the major tombs!"

The conversation between Qin Yu and Guo Long made Ziyun’s eyes light up; she slapped her forehead hard, "Mr. Qin, you are incredible! You can pinpoint the location of the Heavenly Secret Sect just through a whiff of scent!

"In fact, I had sensed something off long ago; every time Big Sister came back from the Heavenly Secret Sect, she always carried a faint odor of decay with her, but I never thought about it in that direction."

"Boss, there are several large tombs in XianY. Can you guess, where would the Heavenly Secret Sect be?"

"Yang Tomb," Qin Yu said with absolute certainty.

"Yang Tomb? How is that possible? Yang Tomb is one of Dragon Country’s 4A-rated tourist attractions and a key cultural heritage site. If the Heavenly Secret Sect’s headquarters were at Yang Tomb, wouldn’t that be too conspicuous?"

Guo Long kept shaking his head.

Qin Yu’s expression remained calm: "Little Long Long, there’s a saying: ’The best place to hide is in plain sight.’ And do you think the archaeological teams have completely explored Yang Tomb?

"They couldn’t decode some of the mechanisms inside Yang Tomb, nor could they enter its most central area."

"Oh right, boss, I almost forgot! The mechanisms and Illusion Arrays of the Heavenly Secret Sect are amazing; they make you see only what they want you to see!" Guo Long nodded vigorously.

"Mr. Qin, I will book your flight to XianY right away," Ziyun said thoughtfully.

"Wrong, I need to make a trip to Capital City first, book me a ticket to the capital," Qin Yu said with a slight smile.

"Capital City?" Ziyun looked utterly baffled; she found herself completely unable to keep up with Qin Yu’s pace. Although she didn’t understand what Qin Yu was up to, Ziyun obediently booked the flight to Capital City for him.

...

Three hours later, the plane carrying Qin Yu arrived at Capital City International Airport.

Upon learning that Qin Yu was coming to the capital, Mo Yuqi was overjoyed and had come to the airport early to pick him up.

Even though Qin Yu had made it clear that his stay in Capital City would be brief, Mo Yuqi was still very happy.

"Boss, this way!"

At 6 feet tall with handsome features, Qin Yu stood out among the travelers; Mo Yuqi spotted him right away and waved frantically at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu grinned and walked toward Mo Yuqi.

"Boss, the Nuclear Energy Battery is ready! Let’s go." Before arriving, Qin Yu had informed Mo Yuqi of his intention—he needed to recharge the Purple Micro Battle Armor.

Qin Yu nodded slightly and followed Mo Yuqi to the Da’an Clubhouse. Qin Yu used the Nuclear Energy Battery to fully charge the Purple Micro Star Ring, and a familiar voice once again echoed in his mind.

"Purple Micro Star Ring charging complete, ready to activate the second form, would you like to activate it now?"

"Do not activate for now."

The voice in his mind disappeared, and with a slight smile, having the powerful Purple Micro Battle Armor made the trip to the Heavenly Secret Sect feel more assured.

Now that the energy was fully charged, Qin Yu decided it was time to say goodbye to Mo Yuqi. He looked around but didn’t see Mo Yuqi anywhere.

"Boss, I’ve already booked your ticket, and the car is downstairs, so I won’t see you off," Mo Yuqi said as he came in quickly.

With time pressing, Qin Yu nodded and hurried out of the Da’an Clubhouse. He looked up at the sky; time had flown, and it was already dark.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Mo has instructed me to take you to the airport," Mo Yuqi’s driver came up, speaking with a fawning tone.

"Mhm," Qin Yu nodded slightly and bent down to get into the car.

Half an hour later, Qin Yu finally boarded the flight bound for XianY.
