Li Mingyang and Hua Yao slowly walked out of the old tavern filled with a stale atmosphere. The afternoon sun shone on them, casting two long shadows. However, the two did not rush to a new journey as people expected, but stopped at the same time and fell into a brief silence.

Li Mingyang frowned slightly, and the scene of talking with the talkative man in the tavern just now kept appearing in his mind. The man was eloquent and seemed warm and friendly, but for some reason, Li Mingyang felt a little uneasy. Especially when the other party mentioned the mysterious organization "Shadow Blade", this feeling became stronger.

"Shadow Blade", this name seemed familiar to Li Mingyang. But strangely, among the many intelligences he and Hua Yao had collected before, there was no detailed record of this organization. This undoubtedly cast a thick fog over the whole incident, making it difficult to see the truth.

With years of experience and keen intuition, Li Mingyang knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. He wondered: Who was this man? Why did he suddenly appear and tell them about Shadow Blade? Did he just happen to pass by here and happened to know these inside stories? Or did he have a deeper purpose and everything he said was just a carefully woven lie?

All kinds of questions flooded into Li Mingyang's mind like a tide, making him feel upset. But at the same time, a strong curiosity also arose spontaneously - he was eager to uncover the truth behind this mystery, find out what kind of organization "Shadow Blade" is, and what kind of relationship exists between it and the goal he is pursuing.

"Flower demon!" Li Mingyang lowered his voice and said solemnly, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the person I just saw. It is very likely that he is a member of the mysterious and dangerous 'Shadow Blade' organization! We must be extra cautious in our next actions!"

Hearing this, the flower fairy nodded slightly, indicating her agreement. A subtle hint of vigilance flashed across her beautiful eyes. "Well, I think the same as you. But so far, we don't have any solid evidence to prove his identity, so we must not act rashly to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

Li Mingyang frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes firm and he made a decision decisively. "In my opinion, let's do this! Let's go back to the depths of the jungle and meet up with the Lion King and other companions. When we meet, let the Lion King select a few trustworthy and reliable subordinates to quietly follow that person and secretly monitor his every move. If he is really a member of the 'Shadow Blade' as we guessed, then by following this clue, we may be able to obtain more important information about the mysterious organization!"

Having made up their minds, the two of them no longer hesitated and immediately rushed towards the dense forest at a very fast speed. Not long after, they successfully returned to a very hidden hiding place in the dense forest, and explained their findings and the planned plan to the Lion King and other companions in detail.

After listening to the words, the lion king narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp gleam flashed through them. Then, he nodded without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Let's do as you say. I will arrange people to carry out this task right away. But remember one thing, you must act carefully and cautiously, and never alarm the target due to a momentary negligence, which will ruin the whole thing!"

Not long after, two extremely powerful demon warriors received a confidential mission. Both of them were top masters of the demon tribe, possessing terrifying strength and superb fighting skills.

In order not to attract the attention of others, they cast a magical spell to transform themselves into ordinary humans. In this way, even if they walk among the crowd, their identities will not be easily exposed.

Quietly, the two demon warriors followed the man closely. They carefully kept a certain distance to avoid being noticed by the other party. The man seemed to be unaware of the pursuit behind him and continued to walk forward with firm steps.

At the same time, deep in the dense jungle, Li Mingyang was patiently waiting with the beautiful flower fairy. They hid among the lush branches and leaves, looking into the distance from time to time, hoping that the men sent by the Lion King could bring back useful information as soon as possible. The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.

Time is like the sand in an hourglass, passing by bit by bit, and every second is so long and short. The sun gradually retracted its blazing light and slowly sank to the west, like a tired traveler embarking on his way home. At this time, the sky was like an overturned paint tray, lightly stained with a layer of orange-red, like the blush on the cheeks of a shy girl, adding a touch of gentleness and mystery to the whole world.

At this quiet and beautiful moment, there was a slight noise in the dense forest, and two sturdy trackers returned silently. Their figures were looming in the mottled light and shadow, like ghosts walking out of the depths of the forest. The two looked solemn, and it was obvious that they had gained a lot from this operation.

"We followed the mysterious man all the way and finally arrived at an abandoned warehouse in the east of the city." One of the soldiers lowered his voice and reported the situation to everyone. His eyes were bright and revealed a hint of nervousness and excitement. "When we approached the warehouse, we found that he was secretly meeting with several people. These people all wore the eye-catching 'Shadow Blade' logo. There is no doubt that they are the targets we have been pursuing!"

Before he finished speaking, another soldier added: "Not only that, we have found more shocking clues around the warehouse. Various signs show that 'Shadow Blade' is not just an ordinary assassination organization, and there seems to be a huge conspiracy behind it. Perhaps, a world-shaking storm is about to sweep in..." At this point, he couldn't help but frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Hearing this, a sharp light suddenly flashed in the depths of Li Mingyang's eyes, which were originally as calm as water, as if it could pierce through the endless darkness. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a low and firm voice: "It seems that our previous guess was correct. This so-called 'Shadow Blade' organization is definitely not an ordinary character. They are very likely to be directly related to the major case we have been struggling to investigate!"

The lion king standing nearby nodded solemnly and responded in a low voice, "Now that we have confirmed this, we must not continue to sit and wait for death and waste time. Tonight, under the cover of night, we will immediately take action and sneak into the mysterious warehouse to see if we can find more crucial and valuable clues."

As the night deepened, the inky black sky covered the earth like a huge curtain. Li Mingyang led his companions, like ghosts, slowly approaching the target warehouse silently. The entire warehouse was dead silent, so quiet that it made people feel a little creepy. Only the occasional gusts of night wind blowing from afar, gently rustling the grass and branches, slightly broke the terrible silence.

Li Mingyang and his team approached the target cautiously and slowly like ghosts. Every step they took seemed to be on cotton, for fear of making the slightest sound and alarming the people inside. Finally, after a long and tense search, they found a ventilation hole in the dark corner of the warehouse that had not been completely closed.

This vent was like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing them a glimmer of hope. Li Mingyang took a deep breath, calmed his trembling mind, and then poked his head in without hesitation. He widened his eyes, trying to see clearly what was going on inside the warehouse.

The warehouse was brightly lit, as bright as day. Several mysterious figures in black tights were sitting around a huge table, which was filled with all kinds of maps and densely packed documents. Although the conversations of these people were very low, like whispers coming from underground at midnight, Li Mingyang could still hear some words vaguely with his keen hearing.

...The difficulty of the tasks we have received recently has been increasing, and the pressure from our superiors has also been increasing. If we cannot find that mysterious adult, I am afraid we will fall into an unprecedented and huge crisis.

At this time, the other man in black raised his lips slightly, revealing a sneer, and said slowly: "Don't worry, how could that gentleman give up so easily? As long as we can successfully find the crucial item he hid, all the problems will be easily solved."

Hearing this, Li Mingyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. In an instant, he keenly realized that the so-called "key items" mentioned repeatedly in the conversation between the two people were most likely inextricably linked to the ultimate goal of their operation. However, in order to avoid alerting the other party and thus causing all previous efforts to be wasted, Li Mingyang made a prompt decision and decided to remain silent for the time being, quietly waiting for the most appropriate time to take action.

The night was as dark as ink, so dark that it seemed to swallow everything. As time passed, the darkness grew darker. Inside the warehouse, the figures in black were tense at first, keeping a high level of alert, but as there was no abnormal movement in the surroundings for a long time, they gradually began to relax.

However, they did not know that under this seemingly calm appearance, a carefully planned operation was quietly unfolding. In the distance, Li Mingyang, hiding in the darkness, tightly grasped the signal device in his hand, staring sharply at the direction of the warehouse. When he saw that the time was right, he pressed the button without hesitation.

Instantly, a faint light cut through the night sky. That was the signal for action! After receiving the instructions, the group led by Li Mingyang moved towards the warehouse quickly and silently like an arrow from a bow. They were agile and coordinated, just like a well-trained special forces.

In the blink of an eye, the team had successfully arrived at the warehouse entrance. Without any hesitation, they rushed into the warehouse like ghosts. In an instant, the originally quiet warehouse was broken by the sudden intruder.

"Who is it?" A man in black shouted in fear, but what he got in response was a fierce attack. Li Mingyang led the charge, the sharp blade in his hand flashing with cold light, and every swing brought a gust of wind, making it difficult for the enemy to resist. The other team members also displayed their own unique skills. For a while, the warehouse was filled with swords and sabers, and shouts of killing rose and fell.

A fierce battle broke out without any warning...

The originally peaceful warehouse suddenly fell into chaos and noise, and a fierce battle broke out without warning. However, this thrilling battle ended as quickly as it had come.

Li Mingyang was as agile as lightning, swinging his sword vigorously, and each sword accurately stabbed the enemy's vital parts. His companions were also very skilled, each of them displayed their unique skills and cooperated with each other perfectly. They either attacked head-on, or attacked from the flanks, or made a detour to outflank, which made the invading black-clad men overwhelmed and exhausted.

After a short moment, the situation was firmly under control of Li Mingyang and others. In the warehouse, unconscious men in black were lying in all directions, and their weapons fell to the ground. The whole space was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with a tense and solemn atmosphere, which made people feel extremely depressed.
