"That's right, Uncle Nine."

Lin Han replied.

"Little friend Lin, are you sure he's... okay?"

Uncle Jiu looked at Lin Hao with some worry. After all, the power of the drought demon was extraordinary. Even those who practiced cultivation had to deal with it with caution, let alone a seemingly ordinary young man.

"Uncle, don't worry. Although I'm young, I have my own way. Big brother said I can do it, so I can definitely do it!" Lin Hao patted his chest, his eyes flashing with confidence and determination.

"Uh... okay."

Uncle Jiu smiled awkwardly. Although he had some doubts in his heart, seeing that Lin Han and Lin Hao were so determined, he didn't say anything more.

"Everyone, hold on tight. We're going to meet up with Team Leader Hao right now."

Long Fei drove the jeep steadily, traveling through the city streets in the early morning. Although the speed was not slow, the interior of the car was unusually stable, as if even the noise from the outside world was isolated.

soon.

The vehicle slowly drove into a secretive and solemn military base. The towering walls and dense barbed wire declared the extraordinary nature of this place.

After passing strict inspection, the jeep slowly drove into the base and finally stopped in front of a spacious command building.

"Commander Lin, we're here." Long Fei stopped the car and got out first to open the door for Lin Han and his group.

Lin Han, Lin Hao and Uncle Jiu got out of the car one after another, and they were met by Wu Hao, Old Yan and Yan Lili.

"Consultant Lin, you're finally here. Everything is ready, just waiting for you to join the operation." Wu Hao stepped forward, his tone filled with a hint of urgency and anticipation. Behind him, Yan Xuelin nodded slightly, his eyes revealing recognition and trust in Lin Han.

Yan Lili stood aside with her arms folded across her chest, looking unhappy.

"Miss Jasmine, it seems that you are not in a good mood today?"

Lin Han looked at Yan Lili with a smile, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement. He deliberately slowed down his pace, walked to Yan Lili's side, and whispered, "Why didn't you sleep well last night? Were you unable to sleep last night because you were thinking about me?"

"...Mr. Lin, stop talking nonsense! Who... who missed you!" Yan Lili's cheeks flushed instantly. She glared at Lin Han and retorted angrily. But in those bright eyes, a trace of panic and shyness involuntarily flashed.

"Who knows? I sneezed as soon as I got home last night. It's really strange. Maybe... maybe someone is secretly scolding me behind my back." Lin Han shrugged innocently, with a playful smile on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lili became even more furious. She stomped her feet and was about to explode, but was stopped by Yan Xuelin's stern look.

Old Yan coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Lili, please don't be rude."

"Grandpa...he!" Yan Lili stomped her feet in grievance and wanted to argue a few more words, but finally she held back and just glared at Lin Han fiercely.

"Little girl, you're too young to fight with me! Haha... it feels so good!" Lin Han was secretly happy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Consultant Lin, I'm sorry! I embarrassed you! This girl is like she's been fuming this morning. Don't take it to heart." Seeing this, Wu Hao hurried to smooth things over.

"It's okay, it's okay. Miss Yan has a straightforward personality, which I quite admire." Lin Han waved his hand, with a playful smile still on his lips.

"Damn it!!! Mr. Lin, when you lose this bet, I'm going to make you kneel on the washboard, wash my clothes and cook for me every day, and work you to death, you damn bad guy!" Yan Lili kept cursing in her heart, but she could only suppress her anger on her face.

"Consultant Lin, this is..." Wu Hao's eyes fell on Lin Hao with a bit of curiosity and scrutiny.

"Oh...this is my younger brother Lin Hao!" Lin Han replied with a faint smile.

"Consultant Lin, when did you have such a brother? How come I didn't know about it?" Wu Hao scratched his head in confusion.

"Uh...well, forget it...I'll tell you!" Lin Han pretended to be mysterious, then sighed and said: "Actually, he is an orphan. I felt sorry for him so I adopted him as my brother! Uncle Jiu, are you sorry for what you did just now? Actually, he is not my uncle's son. This child has a very hard life..." As soon as he finished speaking, a complicated look flashed across Uncle Jiu's face. He nodded slightly and said nothing.

"I see……"

After hearing this, Wu Hao's eyes flashed with admiration. He patted Lin Hao on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Brother Lin Hao, you have a good brother. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. We are all a team."

“???” Lin Hao was a little confused and didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Then, Lin Han's voice rang in Lin Hao's mind: "Xiao Hao, cooperate with me and act out the whole scene, okay?"

Lin Hao suddenly realized and quickly smiled gratefully. He nodded to Wu Hao and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu. I will. Please take care of me in the future."

"Alright, without further ado, we must rush to Yunxia Village. Commander-in-Chief No. 1 is very concerned about this drought incident and has sent notices to Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, Yuxu Palace, Wudang, and other major forces. I'm sure they will respond quickly and work together to deal with this impending crisis."

Wu Hao's tone was solemn, his eyes revealing his seriousness about the upcoming challenge. He turned to face the crowd and continued, "According to our intelligence, the seal of Hanba lies deep within the ancient ruins in the mountains behind Yunxia Village. Not only is the terrain there complex, but it's also fraught with unknown dangers. We must be fully prepared to ensure the smooth progress of this operation."

"Then let's set off without further ado. We can plan the action plan in detail when we get there." Lin Han took over the conversation, his eyes firm and calm.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then, led by Wu Hao, the group took a helicopter to Yunxia Village.

As the helicopter gradually rose higher, the city below gradually shrank into a blur, replaced by endless mountains and lush forests.

Lin Han looked out the window, thinking about the challenges he was about to face, and at the same time he was full of awe for this ancient and mysterious land.

After arriving over Yunxia Village, the helicopter slowly descended into an open field. The villagers had already been evacuated to a safe location, and the village was remarkably quiet, broken only by the occasional chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

As soon as he got off the plane, Lin Han felt an unusual breath, a mixture of antiquity, decay and danger, which made him frown.

“Interesting…”

Lin Han whispered, his eyes blazing as he scanned the surroundings. He could sense an ominous aura slowly spreading from the depths of the mountain behind Yunxia Village, like a sleeping giant about to awaken, making the air around them heavy.
