"Impossible, this defense mechanism was personally tested by Ren Zhongtian back then. Even he couldn't pass through it smoothly without triggering any alarms. I doubt you can either. Even if you force your way through, there will be a lot of experts waiting for you in the valley. Before you even see Shen Zuimo, you'll be caught," Lei Xiaolei said slowly.

"Is there any other way?" Xiaofan asked again.

"Taking the long way around the mountain, there are five more layers of blockade. The waterway is guarded by people twenty-four hours a day. Right now, only the cliff route has the fewest blockades, just one line. But the cliff is over two thousand meters high. It's steep and uneven; relying on manpower to climb is extremely difficult. If you fall, there's a risk of being smashed to pieces," Lei Xiaolei continued.

"Take me to the cliff," Xiaofan said immediately after hearing Lei Xiaolei's detailed analysis and quickly figured out the most advantageous route to reach the Yanhuang Soul.

"Xiaofan, you…" Lei Xiaolei initially thought that after saying all this, Xiaofan would give up the idea of infiltrating the Yanhuang Soul. But who would have thought he still wouldn't give up?

"I'm now going to prepare some climbing equipment and dry food. We'll set off later."

With that, Xiaofan stood up and prepared to go out.

Lei Xiaolei sighed helplessly and could only follow him out.

Some safety measures must be prepared properly because climbing over two thousand meters is not something that can be done just by sheer strength. If it were a building, Xiaofan might easily climb up ten or more floors, but a cliff is different.

After purchasing the climbing gear, Xiaofan and Lei Xiaolei had lunch.

Replenishing strength is also correct; then Lei Xiaolei drew the internal map of the Yanhuang Soul. Xiaofan's target was the special dormitory Lei Xiaolei mentioned earlier, a place ordinary people couldn't enter.

Time passed gradually, and after Xiaofan made all preparations, without greeting anyone else, he directly asked Lei Xiaolei to drive him to the Phoenix Perch Mountain.

The journey wasn't very far; at a quicker pace, they could arrive before sunset. Naturally, if it were a military helicopter, it would be even faster. Typically, when there's an urgent mission at the base, members are deployed using a helicopter.

About three kilometers from Phoenix Perch Mountain, Lei Xiaolei stopped the car.

"Going forward is the radar zone. We can only walk from here."

"Alright."

With those words, the two got out of the car and dashed forward at the fastest speed. The shadows of trees quickly passed by. No matter how fast Lei Xiaolei ran, Xiaofan kept up closely behind him. Such speed truly surprised him. Could it be that Xiaofan's strength had grown again after not seeing him for a few days?

By evening, around seven o'clock, just as night fell with lights beginning to illuminate, the massive and steep cliff lay before Xiaofan.

"Xiaofan..."

"Hmm."

"I have something to say to you."

"Go ahead."

"At dawn, I will personally inform the members of Yanhuang Soul that you're preparing to infiltrate from this cliff. At that time..."

"Hmm, thank you..."

Thank you? He was actually saying thank you. Lei Xiaolei was suddenly stunned. He was supposed to reveal Xiaofan's whereabouts!

"Why would you thank me?" Xiaolei asked his inner doubts.

"Because you also see me as a friend," Xiaofan smiled lightly.

"But what kind of friend betrays another?"

"From the moment you brought me here, you've already considered me a friend, haven't you? Also, you decided to wait until dawn to inform them, instead of reporting immediately; that alone shows you respect me. I know I'm putting you in a difficult position, so after this, you won't owe me anything. I won't be owed by you. We are just friends..."

Friends? Having a friend feels really nice.

Xiaolei originally thought that after leaving Yanhuang Soul and losing those comrades who went through life and death with him, he would no longer have any friends. But now, this guy named Ye Xiaofan befriends him without any concealment. This is what they call friends.

"Hurry up. Yanhuang Soul isn't easy to break into; I hope you can see her before dawn."

"I will."

With those words, Xiaofan no longer hesitated. His figure turned, his steps shifted, and he charged towards the cliff.

With a light step, his whole body sprang up five meters high. Using both hands and feet, he climbed up step by step.

"Damn, this guy is really abnormal, his strength has grown so much," Lei Xiaolei said with a bitter smile, watching Xiaofan's easy movements, then turned around and ran back to where they parked.

Sitting in the car, Lei Xiaolei didn't plan on leaving immediately. He intended to stand guard here for the night. Having been a member of Yanhuang Soul, he underwent the strictest and harshest basic training. Now, he's leading an outsider to infiltrate Yanhuang Soul, and although he doesn't know if it will succeed, he feels a certain level of guilt in his heart.

'Ring ring ring.'

"Hello? Li San?"

"Hey, where are you, Xiaolei? Ren Ying said Xiaofan returned this morning. Has he reached you?" Li San asked loudly.

"Yeah, we were just together half an hour ago," Lei Xiaolei replied with a bittersweet smile.

"Ah? Where is he now?"

"He's preparing to infiltrate Yanhuang Soul. This guy is too bold, he'll do anything."

"Yanhuang Soul? Isn't that where you used to be? Why would Xiaofan go there for no reason? Ah, right, the beautiful lady..."

"Yeah, Shen Zuimo, he's going to find Shen Zuimo."

"What beautiful lady? Shen Zuimo? Xiaofan is going after a girl?" At that moment, an irate voice came from the other end of the call.

"Oh, grandmother..."

"Ah, doesn't Shen Zuimo seem like the woman Xiaofan talked about before? He said he deeply loved a woman, and then she left. So now he's thinking of finding her again?" Chen Mei'er suddenly recalled what Xiaofan once told her about a woman he loved deeply and then left, and wondered if he's trying to find her again.

"Hey, Lei Xiaolei, tell me exactly what's going on?" Li San asked hurriedly.

"How should I know? Xiaofan just returned and wanted to see me alone, then asked me to bring him here. I don't know what's going on either. I only know this woman means a lot to him; I don't know anything else. I'm hanging up."

"Hey, hey… Damn, he hung up on me." Li San tilted his mouth to hang up his phone and then smiled at Chen Mei'er.

"Why smile? Doesn't that idiot realize a lot of people are looking for him?" Chen Mei'er said with annoyance, thinking she would never lose in terms of looks or figure to any woman.

"If it's Shen Zuimo, I think I know a bit, you must be Li San, right? Could you tell me under what circumstances they met before?" At this moment, Liu Siyan opened her mouth slowly, having waited bitterly on the side.
