Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

But for Lin An, who is now at the Core Formation stage...

Although these demons were fierce, they could no longer pose a significant threat to him.

He brandished the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade.

With flashing blades, demons fell one after another under his attacks, becoming stepping stones for him to increase his strength.

However, Lin An's mind remained focused on finding the Zhanfu personnel.

He knew that only by completely resolving these troubles could he explore the secrets of the Xuan Tian Seal with peace of mind and continue to improve his strength.

Finally, Kung Fu pays off.

After several days of tireless efforts, on a misty morning, Lin An keenly sensed an unusual aura.

He quietly approached, following the direction of the scent.

After passing through a dense thicket of bushes, they found the people of the War Palace.

At the same time, the people from the Zhan family quickly discovered Lin An.

They were discussing how to deal with Lin An when they suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching and stood up alertly.

The moment they saw Lin An, a grim expression appeared on their faces.

His eyes flashed with hatred and murderous intent.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to come crawling to your death?"

A disciple of the War Palace coldly mocked.

His voice echoed in the mist, trembling slightly.

That was a manifestation of anger and fear intertwined.

In fact, after learning that Lin An had killed his previous group of companions, they had already developed some fear of him.

After all, all they saw at the time was the body of their companion.

Lin An's body was not found.

Does this mean that Lin An actually didn't die at all?

But if Lin An had not died.

Where is he now?

Have they already left Wan Yao Mountain?

Instead, they lurk in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike?

This caused a great deal of tension among the remaining members of the Zhan family.

But the pride of someone from the War Palace.

This made them even less willing to show the slightest cowardice in front of Lin An after seeing him.

Lin An looked at them with a cold smile on his face.

His eyes were filled with disdain: "Looking for death? I think you're the ones looking for death!"

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing through the valley like a great bell, carrying an undeniable aura.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin An's spiritual energy erupted instantly.

Its powerful aura spread outwards like a surging tide, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

The Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade in his hand gleamed with a cold light.

As if sensing its master's fighting spirit, it emitted a low buzzing sound.

With a flash, he charged towards the Zhan family like a black lightning bolt.

At the same time, a powerful blade of light cleaved through the morning mist, carrying boundless killing intent.

This blade of light was tens of meters long, and wherever it passed, trees were cut in half and dirt flew everywhere.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of everyone in the Zhan family changed drastically.

They hadn't expected Lin An's attack to be so swift and powerful.

But they were, after all, well-trained disciples of the War Palace.

They quickly realized what was happening and drew their weapons, unleashing their special skills in an attempt to defend against Lin An's attack.

In an instant, the valley was filled with the flashing of swords and the deafening shouts of battle.

The members of Zhanfu worked together seamlessly, forming a defensive formation.

The spiritual energy was gathered together, forming a solid spiritual energy barrier.

The blade's edge struck the barrier, producing a piercing sound.

A burst of dazzling sparks erupted, and the entire valley was enveloped by this powerful force, as if it were about to be torn apart.

However, Lin An's strength was far beyond their ability to withstand.

He unleashed the powerful strength of the Core Formation stage, with spiritual energy continuously surging from his body and pouring into the [Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade].

His swordsmanship became increasingly fierce, carrying an overwhelming momentum that continuously assaulted the defenses of the Zhan family members.

Under Lin An's fierce attacks, cracks began to appear in the spiritual energy barrier of the Zhan family members.

Their faces grew paler and paler, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.

"Hold on! We can't let him defeat us!"

A minor leader from the war garrison shouted loudly, trying to boost the morale of his comrades.

But there was also a hint of despair in his voice.

Lin An snorted coldly, having found the weakness in the Zhan family's defenses.

He leaped up suddenly, raising the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade high in his hand, gathering all his spiritual power, and unleashing a fatal slash.

"Look at the knife!"

He shouted, and an even larger blade of light shot towards the Zhan family.

This blade of light seemed to contain a world-destroying power, causing the surrounding air to distort.

The members of the Zhan family stared in horror at the blade of light.

They fought back with all their might, but it was all in vain.

The blade of light shattered their defensive barrier in an instant, and then blasted towards them without any hindrance.

A series of pitiful screams were heard, and the members of the Zhan family were instantly killed.

Their bodies, profusely bleeding from the force of the impact, crashed heavily into the misty valley.

After the battle, a strong smell of blood filled the valley.

Lin An put away the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade.

His breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.

He successfully dealt with this group of war garrison personnel.

Next, it was time to verify his suspicions.

Lin An slowly walked to the bodies of the Zhanfu personnel.

Their blood essence flowed on the ground, appearing particularly eerie under the shroud of mist.

Lin An carefully took out the Xuan Tian Seal and deliberately brought it close to the essence and blood of these people.

Something amazing happened!

The Xuan Tian Seal resembled a greedy monster.

Upon contact with the essence and blood, it began to absorb it frantically.

The essence blood seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force, continuously flowing into the Xuan Tian Seal.

Lin An stared wide-eyed, carefully observing the changes in the Xuan Tian Seal.

The original, ancient surface of the Xuan Tian Seal began to shimmer with a strange light, which grew brighter and brighter, as if it were about to break through the restraints.

As the essence blood continued to flow in, the aura of the Xuan Tian Seal grew stronger and stronger, and a mysterious power emanated from it.

Lin An could clearly sense that the Xuan Tian Seal was stronger than before.

"Just as I expected!"

Lin An was secretly amazed.

He finally confirmed a connection between the Xuan Tian Seal and the cultivation techniques of the Zhan Mansion.

He knew that this discovery could be a major opportunity for him.

Perhaps this will allow us to uncover more secrets of the Xuan Tian Seal and further enhance his strength.

"However, this only confirms the speculation so far, but the exact reason is still unknown."

Lin An thought to himself.

But no matter what, he felt it was a good start.

Then, his eyes turned cold.

"Now, even if I return to the Xu family mansion, I possess considerable strength. Next, it's time to reclaim everything I've lost!"

Lin An clenched his fists.
