Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

Lin An shook his head: "I have other things to do, I can't stay in Wan Yao Mountain forever."

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, all good things must come to an end."

Although I was reluctant to part with it.

But they still accepted Lin An's invitation.

They followed Lin An to the largest restaurant in Fumo Town and found a seat by the window.

The restaurant was bustling with activity, people clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, their laughter filling the air.

But the atmosphere at their table was somewhat subtle.

Wan Liang picked up his wine glass and stood up.

With a face full of remorse, he said, "Brother Lin An, we were wrong before. We doubted and misunderstood you. Please don't take it to heart. You are a magnanimous person."

Xu Hui quickly stood up and said, "Yes, Brother Lin An, we were wrong, please forgive us."

Lin An waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's all in the past, I've never taken it to heart. It's fate that we met. I hope you can all work hard in your cultivation so that we can have the opportunity to meet again."

Hearing this, the group felt their guilt lessen slightly.

"Brother Lin An, don't worry, we will definitely do our best. We wish you a safe journey. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

They all nodded and raised their glasses.

Then came another round of laughter and joy.

During the meal, Wan Liang and the others finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin An, aren't you the famous demon hunter from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain recently?"

Lin An did not give a definite answer, but simply smiled at them, and that was all.

The others understood immediately and didn't press the matter further.

After bidding farewell to Wan Liang and the others, Lin An left Wan Yao Mountain.

He embarked on his journey back to the Xu family.

Throughout the journey, he felt a mix of emotions.

When he finally entered the city, a feeling of being in another world washed over him.

The streets were bustling and noisy, filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and the laughter of people chatting.

He was on his way to the Xu family's house when he was drawn to a group of people having a heated discussion not far away.

A portly middle-aged man dressed in silk announced loudly with great interest, "Have you heard? The Xu family is having a happy occasion!"

A thin, elderly man standing nearby frowned and shook his head repeatedly: "What kind of happy occasion is this! I heard that Lin Tian of the Zhan family, in collusion with the Zheng family, forced the Xu family to marry Xu Qingyan to that mentally challenged third young master of the Zheng family!"

"Huh? Is that really true? How did the Xu family agree to it?"

A young man looked on in surprise, his eyes wide open.

The middle-aged man curled his lip, looking disdainful: "How could the Xu family refuse? The Zhan family and the Zheng family joined forces to put pressure on them, and the Xu family was weak and powerless, unable to resist at all! It's a pity for that girl Xu Qingyan, so beautiful, yet she has to marry a fool."

At this moment, a woman carrying a vegetable basket sighed, her face full of sympathy: "The Xu family has always treated people well, how could they have run into such a mess? Isn't this just pushing that girl into a fire pit!"

The young man scratched his head, looking puzzled. "Didn't anyone in the Xu family stand up against it? Did they just let them bully them?"

The old man stroked his beard and said helplessly, "What can we do even if we object? The Zhan family and the Zheng family are too powerful. If the Xu family doesn't agree, the entire family will suffer."

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and continued, "I heard the wedding is in the next few days. The Zheng family will definitely throw a grand banquet, but behind the scenes, who knows how many people are laughing at the Xu family!"

"In this world, those with power and influence can do whatever they want, and it's pitiful for ordinary families."

The woman couldn't help but sigh again.

Lin An stood aside, quietly listening to the crowd's discussion.

Lin Tian did this in order to force him to show himself.

The Xu family was weak and powerless, and could do nothing against the other side. The wedding was to be held soon.

Lin An's eyes instantly turned cold, and a surge of intense anger welled up in his heart.

He headed towards the Xu family without hesitation, his steps hurried.

He knew that the Xu family was facing a huge crisis at that moment.

He would absolutely not stand idly by.

He was going to stop this absurd wedding and make Lin Tian and the Zheng family pay the price for their actions.

……

The Xu family home was eerily silent.

Only the festive red silk trembled in the wind.

Inside Xu Qingyan's boudoir.

She was dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown, yet she looked like a caged bird, her face full of sorrow.

Her haggard face was reflected in the bronze mirror, and even the phoenix coronet and wedding gown could not conceal the sorrow and despair in her eyes.

The maidservant who was doing her hair and makeup looked at her mistress in this state.

Her eyes reddened, and she finally couldn't help but speak: "Miss, why don't you take advantage of the chaos and escape!" Her voice trembled, full of anxiety and worry.

Xu Qingyan slowly shook her head, her hair swaying gently with the movement.

Her voice was soft, yet firm: "No, if I leave, what will happen to the Xu family? They will definitely take their anger out on the Xu family, and the entire family will suffer annihilation."

"Miss, I've been with you since childhood, adopted by the Xu family. I can never repay their immense kindness. Please allow me to impersonate you and marry the third young master of the Zheng family!"

The maidservant knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face.

"No, this is pushing you into a fire pit! How can I sacrifice your happiness for my own sake?"

Xu Qingyan was shocked.

She quickly stepped forward to help the maid up, waving her hands repeatedly.

The maid tightly grasped Xu Qingyan's hand, tears streaming down her face: "Miss, I can't just stand by and watch you fall into the tiger's den. Rather than see you suffer, I'd rather bear it all myself."

The two were arguing when a series of noisy footsteps came from afar.

It turned out that Zheng Jia and Lin Tian had arrived.

The Zheng family arrived in a grand procession, strutting around arrogantly, to fetch the bride.

Lin Tian stood to the side, a nauseating smirk on his face, as if he were watching a meticulously planned farce.

"Why hasn't Xu Qingyan come out yet?"

Lin Tian stood at the entrance of the Xu residence, his brows furrowed.

He was visibly impatient and yelled at the top of his lungs.

The sound echoed in the courtyard, startling a flock of birds into flight.

One of the servants of the Xu family mustered his courage and stepped forward.

Her voice trembled slightly as she tried to dissuade him: "Young Master Lin... Miss might still be preparing, please wait a moment..."

"waiting?"

Lin Tian's eyes widened in anger.

His impatience instantly turned into ferocity, and he kicked the servant hard.

With a bang, the servant was kicked several meters away.

He fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful groan.

"I don't have that much patience. Go, break in and get her out of there!"

Lin Tian frowned, his face full of impatience.

"yes!"

The crowd echoed his sentiments.

Just as the Zheng family's servants were rubbing their hands together, preparing to force their way in, a familiar figure appeared like a ghost.

"Halt! Who dares to act recklessly without my permission!"

What comes with it.

It was a terrifying shout.

Lin Tian and the others were also taken aback.

He quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

Instantly, I was drawn to this figure.

Lin An!
