"The other side has a submarine?"

The intelligence officer was dumbfounded. After all, submarines are not children's toys that you can buy just like that, and even small countries usually can't handle them.

Dane snorted coldly, "If Dragon King were just a simple mercenary, that would be easy to deal with. Alright, let's end this discussion here."

Those arrogant high-class people still thought Dragon King was just a mercenary leader, with a bunch of desperadoes at his command. If it were that simple, given the other side's arrogance, they'd have been wiped out long ago.

Dragon King does not represent a person but a group.

Moreover, even they couldn't completely figure out the mysterious nature of the other side. They only know that Dragon King has three groups under his command: Dragon Tooth Warriors, Dragon Guards, and one that has never appeared, Reversed Scale.

To this day, they haven't discovered where Dragon King's lair is, but it definitely exists. Many even speculate that the base might actually be within Yan Country's borders, which is why it hasn't been discovered, and Dragon King might actually be backed by Yan Country.

Hundreds of meters under the sea.

The Submarine Dragon shuttled through the dark waters, heading south along the Lijia State's mainland.

Combat Room.

"This is the information our personnel collected regarding that research institute. On the surface, it's an ordinary ore research institution, but in reality, it's affiliated with Gods Temple, specializing in unconventional research projects."

"Young Master, the meteorite you want is within this research institute. As for whether it's the one we need, we'll have to get it in hand to know."

An Xi reached out and enlarged the 3D projection, with pieces of intelligence appearing before him, using the world's most advanced technology. Even the computer system inside the Submarine Dragon integrates a small super-brain.

Besides, the Submarine Dragon has a displacement of over 20,000 tons. It was originally Luo Country's largest strategic weapon. Before Li Feng got his hands on it, it was just an empty shell, left gathering dust at the port for over twenty years.

The Submarine Dragon no longer carries strategic-level weapons, as they were dismantled. Thus, the vacated space allows for loading various equipment and even refurbishing more cabins.

After some modifications, the Submarine Dragon could be considered a mobile Dragon Palace.

"What about the defense here?"

"The outer defense can be described as tissue paper, but I'm worried this research institute is not as simple as it appears on the surface. And time is too short to gather more useful information currently."

Li Feng frowned.

"But it's not entirely without breakthroughs. This middle-aged man named Frank is a professor of physics from Country D, specializing in research on radioactive elements. In the industry, he is an authority."

"He is currently employed at this research institute, and I found that he recently booked a ticket to return to Country D."

"If we can intercept this Frank and discover the internal information of the institute from him, the chances of success will greatly increase."

"Hmm, let's do it."

Li Feng looked at the collected data, finding most of it insignificant. The research institute appears to have only seven or eight guards on the surface, looking like an ordinary research facility, but as a subsidiary of Gods Temple, it is clearly not that simple.

We can only think of the next step after capturing this Frank.

An Xi directly flipped through the research institute's intelligence and brought out another piece of information.

"Young Master, we can roughly determine where the Lin Family's lair is."

"Oh, where?"

It had only been three days since Li Feng left Yan Country. In Sea City, Li Feng had previously placed a hidden weapon on Lin Wan'er, which was injecting a nanotechnology tracker into her body. Without professional equipment, it's hard to detect.

In addition, Li Feng had also placed a silver needle sealing on Lin Wan'er. To break this, she would have no choice but to go home.

The Ancient Martial World in Yan Country has always been mysterious, unknown in the secular world.

After all, although Shaolin and Wudang are well-known, the Three Sects and Six Gates, and the Ten Great Families of the Ancient Martial World, are mysterious and unfathomable, with unknown roots.

An Xi directly pulled up a world map, sliding it to the southwest of Yan Country.

"Here, the ten-thousand-year-old mountains in the southwest, south of the colorful clouds."

An Xi pointed to a marked spot on the map.

Li Feng looked at the map, unsurprised. There are not many places in Yan Country where people cannot be found. With so many people in Yan Country, most habitable places are populated.

The northern deserts and gobis are obviously unsuitable for living, and the western plateau, although full of mountains, is equally harsh.

By comparison, the environment in the southwest ten-thousand-year-old mountains is much better, and this area is crisscrossed with valleys, more challenging than the Shu Road.

There are few large open spaces in the ten-thousand-year-old mountains suitable for developing towns, and coupled with inconvenient transportation, the interior is mostly uninhabited. Only occasionally some people gather in relatively developable areas.

Such a place is quite suitable for the Ancient Martial World, whose foundation is the Sects and Families. Their numbers are small, and to seclude themselves, they must find uninhabited areas, inaccessible even to the government.

"Young Master, do you need to send people to scout first?"

An Xi still bore a grudge over Sea City's incident, after all, it hadn't been that long.

Li Feng shook his head.

"The Ancient Martial Mysterious, having opened the Divine Acupoint, with extremely sensitive perception. Sending people to spy would only disturb the snake. Now that we know the location, I'll have to visit sooner or later, but before that, we need to get that meteorite first."

Night fell.

After hours of stealth, the Submarine Dragon traveled south to the tip of Lijia State, Cape Port, the largest port city at the tip of Lijia State.

The Submarine Dragon stopped dozens of nautical miles outside the port, where a waiting ship picked up Li Feng, An Xi, and others, arriving at Cape Port the next day at dawn.

Without delay, they headed north from Cape Port to the Golden City at the tip of Lijia State, a capital built atop gold mines.

"Young Master, Frank left the research institute early and checked into a local star hotel, accompanied by only one assistant and two bodyguards. His flight is at nine tonight."

"Oh, he left the institute early for the hotel. Could he be meeting someone?"

Li Feng slightly furrowed his brows.

According to the previous plan, they intended to intercept him directly on his way to the airport. After acquiring enough information, Li Feng would storm the research institute with Frank.

Unexpectedly, the target left early and went to a hotel.

"He was indeed meeting someone, but he just called for a prostitute."
