"All personnel of the Seventh District combat units, assemble!"
The broadcast in the Seventh District suddenly blared... its sound echoing through the night in the Thirteenth District. The members of the Thirteenth District also put down their work and rushed to the assembly plaza of the Seventh District.
"I have some bad news to share with you all. Our respected Left Divine Hall has perished."
A roar of murmurs swept through the crowd.
Yun Meng quickly finished briefing the mission and made a series of arrangements before returning to his office.
"He rubbed his temples."
Facing an enemy far more powerful than himself, Yun Meng felt a pang of difficulty. He hoped to find some useful clues within the ruins of the ancient tomb.

Early morning.
A ray of sunlight shone on Chen Fan's face from the windowsill.
"Hoo."
"Today, I'm heading into the Kunlun Mountains."
Chen Fan quickly put on his clothes and glanced at the time. It was eight o'clock.
"Just right." Unless there were special circumstances, the Kunlun Secret Realm could only be entered at a specific noon. As long as he entered and found Bai Zhannian's life-preserving lamp to see if it had extinguished, he would know Bai Zhannian's fate. Even if the hope was slim, Chen Fan would search and try for the sake of his brother. Perhaps this was brotherhood.
He walked out of the hotel.
The first thing Chen Fan saw was more than a dozen vans parked not far from the hotel.
"Still not giving up, huh? I really need to teach them a small lesson."
Chen Fan saw the numerous vans but ignored them and started flagging down a ride.
Before long, Chen Fan hailed a taxi and headed towards the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
As the car started and pulled onto the road,
The more than a dozen vans also started up and silently followed the taxi.
The taxi drove for a long time, and the driver also noticed the dozen or so vans tailing them.
Just as the taxi entered the old town area, the leading van suddenly accelerated and rammed into them.
The taxi driver seemed to have noticed this in the rearview mirror as well, and the car suddenly accelerated.
"This driver is an old hand, reacting so quickly," Chen Fan thought to himself.
Before Chen Fan could reply,
"Young man, have you offended someone? Why are so many vans following us?" the taxi driver, who had been silent until now, asked.
"Master, I'm sorry. It's just a minor skirmish. I've caused you trouble."
With that said, Chen Fan took a large wad of red bills from his luggage, at least two hundred thousand yuan, and handed it to the taxi driver.
"Master, this money is my token of appreciation. If the car gets damaged accidentally later, please use this money to buy a new one."
When the driver saw the large wad of cash, his eyes changed.
The driver's gaze shifted from casual indifference to sudden seriousness, making him seem like a different person.
Chen Fan looked at the driver with some surprise, "Master, what are you going to do???"
The driver said, "Have you heard of Mount Akina in the Red Sun Country?"
Chen Fan nodded in confusion.
"Hold on tight!!" the driver shouted, and he floored the accelerator.
A powerful sense of acceleration surged, and with a controlled drift around a corner, he left all the vans behind.
"Damn." Chen Fan's mind was filled with countless things he wanted to say but didn't know if he should.
Only one sentence popped into his head:
"Mount Akina's roads still exist today, but the old drivers of yesteryear are gone."
"Vroom... vroom..." this was the roar of the engine.....

Soon, the taxi arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Looking up, the tall and majestic main peak stood solemnly amidst the boundless mountain ranges.
Chen Fan could never have imagined that an ordinary taxi driver would possess such incredible driving skills.
The continuous acceleration had stunned Chen Fan, who was sitting in the back seat.
Even after reaching their destination, Chen Fan's heart was still trembling slightly.
The car had driven too fast; Chen Fan even felt that if this driver were given a sports car, he could outdrive the current racing champions.
Truly, "Masters are found among the common folk."
This was just a small interlude. After getting out of the car, Chen Fan quickly paid the fare and gave the driver a super-duper thumbs-up.
Looking at the driver's face, he seemed to be showing off to Chen Fan.
"Kid, was that fast enough?" The driver leaned out and looked at Chen Fan with eyes seeking praise.
However, the taxi driver's driving skills were indeed far superior to ordinary people.
"Amazing, amazing, amazing," Chen Fan got out of the car and had been enthusiastically praising the driver while he was still in the car. Now that he was out, he figured they would never meet again anyway, so why not praise him one last time. Da Feng Novel Network
"Thank you for your assessment, young man. I'll be going now," the driver said with a smug smile and drove away.
Chen Fan didn't think much of it. He looked at the ticket booth for Kunlun Mountain. The people queuing to buy tickets were packed like sardines. There were many tourists eating breakfast at nearby restaurants, waiting for their guides to take them to visit the ancient divine peak of China, a place that must appear in all fantasy novels.
At nine thirty in the morning.
The mountain gate slowly opened.
Tourists began to organize themselves into queues and enter.
As Chen Fan watched the mountain gate open, he walked to the staff area and revealed his identity as an investor in the Kunlun Mountain scenic spot.
"Manager Chen has arrived," a reception staff member said upon seeing Chen Fan. He walked over to Chen Fan and led him directly into the fast-track lane.
