In the early hours of Kun City, there were fewer vehicles on the roads.

A car sped through the streets, flying through alleys and passageways.

No matter how the car turned, the Hummer behind it chased at a steady speed, unable to be shaken off.

The flat-headed man’s driving skills were obviously no match for Lin Fan’s.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yun Qingyao looked uncertain and surprised, "How did he find me so quickly?"

Suddenly realizing something, she quickly searched herself with her hands, from head to toe, not missing a single spot, until her hand paused at the hem of her clothes, where she found a small hard lump.

Yun Qingyao asked the flat-headed man for a knife, directly cut open the hem of her clothes, and took out a component the size of a button.

"What is this?" The flat-headed man asked curiously.

Yun Qingyao replied angrily, "A tracker! I didn’t expect him to put a tracker on me!"

With this tracker, even if she escaped to the ends of the earth, Lin Fan could track her down. No wonder she managed to escape from Feng County so smoothly; Lin Fan wasn’t in a hurry.

Yun Qingyao observed the outside of the car; they had arrived at a bustling street market, still quite busy despite the early hour.

A large truck loaded with cargo was slowly approaching from the left.

"Right turn, now!" Yun Qingyao commanded.

The flat-headed man sharply turned the steering wheel, steering the car into the right street, just as the truck arrived at the intersection, separating them from the Hummer behind.

Yun Qingyao looked back, her view obstructed, no longer seeing the Hummer. This meant Lin Fan couldn’t see them either.

A rare opportunity!

"Stop the car!" Yun Qingyao ordered.

As the car stopped, Yun Qingyao quickly got out, instructing, "Keep driving, don’t stop, he doesn’t know the area well, make him circle around more."

Saying this, she tossed the tracker onto the passenger seat, closed the door, and immediately ran into the alley beside them.

The flat-headed man started the car and continued forward.

By this time, the large truck behind had passed through the intersection, with visibility restored.

Lin Fan drove the Hummer, continuing to chase the car, and in a flash, the two vehicles were far away.

Hiding in the alley, Yun Qingyao sighed in relief, finally shaking off Lin Fan. That guy was too cunning to have placed a tracker on her; fortunately, it was now removed.

She needed to leave quickly!

Yun Qingyao walked out of the alley and hailed a taxi by the roadside.

"Driver, to Cyan Ox Stronghold." Yun Qingyao said.

The taxi quickly drove off.

Meanwhile, in the Hummer, Lin Fan continued to chase the car ahead. His phone lay beside him, running a tracking app with a blinking moving dot.

This tracker was requested by Lin Fan from Loli, a high-tech method used by police to track suspects. Lin Fan had anticipated that Yun Qingyao would try to escape, hence it served as his backup plan.

If Yun Qingyao couldn’t escape from him, he didn’t need to use the tracker, but if she unfortunately did, the backup plan would come into play.

Using this tracker, Lin Fan had tracked her all the way to Kun City.

Suddenly, a police siren sounded ahead, as a traffic cop pulled out on a motorcycle from the roadside, having noticed the flat-headed man’s speeding, and chased him down, ordering him to stop.

The flat-headed man didn’t dare to challenge the traffic cops; he slowed the car and pulled over.

Lin Fan also slowed down, following him to the roadside, and peered into the car, seeing only the flat-headed man inside.

Yun Qingyao had already gotten out!

Realizing there was a tracker on her, Yun Qingyao removed it before getting out, leaving it in the car to mislead Lin Fan.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile; this woman was truly difficult to deal with.

By then the traffic cop had gotten off and approached the flat-headed man, likely to issue a speeding ticket.

Lin Fan didn’t stop, driving past, and at the next intersection, headed back towards Li Xiangshui’s base.

Lin Fan was unaware that it was Li Xiangshui’s base, but Yun Qingyao had come to Kun City from Feng County and gone to this place, indicating its importance. It was probably the underground force managing Yun Sect’s business.

Finding this underground force would not be difficult to trace the whereabouts of the Yun Sect.

Lin Fan returned to Li Xiangshui’s base, parking the car outside the red gate.

As soon as he got out, he sensed something was wrong; the gate was wide open, with a strong smell of blood wafting out.

Lin Fan quickly entered and saw bodies on the ground.

Finally reaching the rooftop, Lin Fan entered Li Xiangshui’s office.

Lin Fan concluded, as did Yun Qingyao, that the slaughter was by a master; this person was extremely brutal, ruthless and decisive in killing, all victims slain with precision.

Except for Li Xiangshui behind the desk, who had been tortured before death. Lin Fan possessed top-notch insight and medical skill, allowing him to deduce from Li Xiangshui’s marks that he suffered terrifying torture before a knife pierced his brow, ending his life.

Why did the killer torture Li Xiangshui?

Was it vengeance, or did they have a purpose?

Based on Lin Fan’s judgment, it seemed like an interrogation.

Looking up, Lin Fan saw the office camera, finding the surveillance, yet its contents had been removed; Yun Qingyao likely watched it and took the hard drive.

Lin Fan searched around the building but found no clues, meaning finding information related to Yun Sect here was impossible.

Finding the underground force’s connection to Yun Sect wasn’t entirely without clues, possible via financial investigations, but it wasn’t something Lin Fan intended to pursue.

The place would soon attract police attention, so it was not advisable to stay.

Lin Fan didn’t linger and left the building, returning to the Hummer.

Entering Cyan Ox Stronghold in the navigation, Lin Fan set off to this place.

Assuming Yun Qingyao came to Kun City to rendezvous with the underground force, but this force was wiped out by unknown assailants.

Yun Qingyao’s only destination now would be Yun Sect.

Given the underground force worked for Yun Sect, it was possible the killer targeted Yun Sect, thus Yun Qingyao would likely return to check on Yun Sect.

He needed to catch up with Yun Qingyao as fast as possible.

Fortunately, Yun Qingyao’s cultivation hadn’t yet recovered; even if she left first, Lin Fan wouldn’t find it difficult to catch up.

During the early hours, the Hummer left Kun City, Lin Fan barely glancing at the city before leaving swiftly.

In the western part of Southern Yunnan, the Ten Thousand Mountains stretched endlessly, the dark complex terrain of deep mountain valleys seemingly filled with mystery and danger.
