The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the cave.

"Someone is coming!" Ling Xiu Han said vigilantly and quickly extinguished the candle.

The two held their breath, quietly waiting for any movement outside. A moment later, several men in black burst in, blades in hand. They were clearly not good people, and their target was Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan.

"Who are you?" Lan Yunyan drew the long sword from her waist and prepared for battle.

The leading man in black sneered: "We are following orders. As for the reasons, you don't need to know."

Before he could finish his words, the men in black launched their attack. Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan were forced to fight back. The two sides exchanged blows, and the battle was in full swing.

Despite the large number of enemies, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan worked in perfect harmony and quickly dispatched several of them. However, at this moment, more footsteps were heard outside the cave, clearly indicating the arrival of reinforcements.

"It seems we have to leave here quickly." Ling Xiu Han whispered to Lan Yunyan.

Lan Yunyan nodded in agreement, and the two quickly packed up their belongings and escaped from the cave through another secret passage. They ran all the way, not stopping to catch their breath until they were sure it was safe.

After escaping the cave, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan rested temporarily in a secluded area. After the fierce battle, both of them looked a little tired.

Lan Yunyan leaned against a big tree, breathing heavily, her heart full of confusion and anxiety.

"Who are those people? Why are they chasing us?" she asked, with a vigilant gleam in her eyes.

Ling Xiuhan pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed. "I don't know the specific reason, but what is certain is that there must be a huge organization behind them manipulating all of this."

"Then what should we do now?" There was a hint of anxiety in Lan Yunyan's voice.

She knew this incident was no accident, but rather someone was secretly targeting them. If she didn't find the mastermind quickly, she was afraid there would be more trouble in the future.

"We need to investigate the identities of these people and their purpose." Ling Xiu Han said, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Lan Yunyan nodded in agreement. The two decided to return to the North Sea Secret Realm to search for more clues.

Along the way, they tried to avoid crowded places to avoid being attacked again. After several days of trekking, they finally returned to the familiar Beiming Secret Realm.

After returning to the secret realm, Lan Yunyan immediately found Qin Feng and told him what had happened.

Qin Feng was shocked after hearing this and expressed his full support for their investigation. The three of them analyzed the existing clues together and made a detailed plan.

At the same time, Ling Xiuhan also began to use his own resources and connections to try to find out the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. Through a series of investigations and inquiries, they gradually discovered some clues.

It turns out that those men in black belong to an organization called "Shadow", which specializes in assassination and espionage. And behind this organization are some high-ranking figures in Qingyun Continent.

As the investigation deepened, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan got closer and closer to the truth. However, this also meant that the danger they faced was increasing. Late one night, while they were studying a piece of intelligence, they suddenly received urgent news - Qin Feng was missing!

This news tore Lan Yunyan's heart apart. Qin Feng was not only her good friend, but also her right-hand man. His disappearance was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

What worried her even more was that Qin Feng's disappearance was likely related to the previous investigation, which meant that the enemy had noticed their actions and had begun to take countermeasures.

"We must find Qin Feng as soon as possible!" Lan Yunyan said, her eyes full of determination.

Ling Xiuhan nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to take the initiative and find Qin Feng while also uncovering the mastermind behind this."

Thus, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan began a new round of search and rescue operations. They split into two groups, each heading in different directions to search for clues.

Lan Yunyan led a team to search the place where Qin Feng was last seen, while Ling Xiuhan was responsible for contacting other allies for help.

After several days of effort, they finally found the injured and unconscious Qin Feng in an abandoned mine.

After rescuing Qin Feng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After treatment, Qin Feng slowly regained consciousness. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Lan Yunyan finally let go of her worries.

However, the news brought by Qin Feng made everyone feel heavy again.

According to Qin Feng's description, before he disappeared, he had tracked down an important clue - the location of the Shadow Organization's headquarters.

However, he was captured and imprisoned for a period of time due to being outnumbered. Fortunately, he was helped by a mysterious person and was able to escape.

This mysterious man claimed to be Ling Xiuhan's friend, Li Mubai. Li Mubai told Qin Feng some important information about the Shadow Organization and helped him escape from danger.

After listening to Qin Feng's narration, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan became very interested in Li Mubai. They felt that this person might be one of the key figures to solve the current dilemma.

So he decided to go to where Li Mubai was to seek help and support.

According to the information provided by Qin Feng, Li Mubai lives in a remote small village located in the southeast of Beiming Continent. It is surrounded by dense forests and has a very hidden geographical location.

The two of them set off with Qin Feng, carefully avoiding possible pursuers along the way.

After a day and a night of travel, they finally arrived at their destination. The village was small, with only a few dozen households, but the environment was quiet and secluded, as if it were isolated from the world.

Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan met an old man at the village entrance. He claimed to be Li Mubai's father, Li Bo. Li Bo told them that Li Mubai was collecting herbs in the mountains and would be back soon.

While waiting, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan asked Li Bo some questions about the Shadow Organization.

Uncle Li sighed and said, "This organization has existed for many years. They act in secret and use cruel methods. Ordinary people like us don't dare to provoke them.

However, my son Li Mubai is a man of justice, and he has always wanted to uncover the true face of this organization."
