Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

As the distance gradually closes.

Lin An noticed that the man in black was emanating an increasingly intense aura of panic.

He took a deep breath, accelerated suddenly, and caught up with the man in black in just a few leaps.

At this moment, Lin An drew the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade without hesitation.

The blade instantly burst forth with a dazzling light, as if it had devoured all the surrounding light, and a powerful and oppressive aura spread out.

Lin An shouted and gathered all his spiritual power into the blade.

With a sudden swing, a blade of light containing world-destroying power slammed into that person.

The man in black had no time to react before being struck head-on by the attack.

The immense impact sent him flying instantly.

Soon, the man in black fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The ground was smashed into a shallow crater.

The man in black lay in the pit, spitting blood, barely breathing, and nearly dead.

Even so, that person still seemed unwilling to admit defeat.

He struggled to get up, a hint of resentment and bitterness still flickering in his eyes.

Lin An darted forward, grabbed the man in black by the back of the neck like an iron clamp, and lifted him up.

In fact, Lin An deliberately spared this person's life in order to extract information about the mastermind from him.

At this moment, Liu Mingxuan and several others also rushed over.

Seeing how quickly Lin An acted, they captured the fleeing man in black.

His face was full of surprise.

"Young Master Lin, that was too fast!"

Liu Mingxuan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Lin An led the man in black to the crowd, his expression cold and stern: "This man must be interrogated properly. I want to see who is behind this, daring to attack me at the Liu residence."

Having said that, he glared at the man in black with eyes like knives and coldly asked, "Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

The man in black gritted his teeth, a flicker of fear in his eyes, but he still refused to speak.

Seeing the man in black so stubborn, Lin An sneered inwardly.

He felt no fear whatsoever when facing this guy.

With a cold laugh, he immediately said, "If you don't speak, I'll kill you with one blow, and then you'll be reduced to ashes."

The man in black trembled slightly, his fear growing stronger.

But he still held back and didn't say anything.

Liu Mingxuan stepped forward and advised, "You should tell the truth. You have already witnessed Young Master Lin's methods. If you continue to be stubborn, you will only suffer."

The man in black remained silent, though a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Lin An's eyes.

he knows.

This guy won't confess unless you deal with him harshly!

Therefore, Lin An delivered a powerful slap.

It hit the man in black!

But then, the man in black felt an intense pain welling up from the bottom of his heart.

It was something he simply couldn't resist!

correct.

Lin An's words were just meant to scare this person.

His true thoughts.

They directly used their own methods to torture this person!

The man in black's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat poured down his face.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"No...don't kill me! I'll tell you! It was the Wang family! It was Wang Zhenshan, the head of the Wang family, who sent us!"

Upon hearing this answer, Liu Mingxuan's face instantly turned ashen.

His fists clenched tightly, his eyes burning with rage: "How could the Wang family be so despicable! To carry out such an assassination on my Liu family's territory is utterly despicable! Do they really think the Liu family has no one to rely on?"

Su Yichen, standing beside him, also had an angry expression on his face.

He spat angrily, "The Wang family has gone too far! They're always arrogant and domineering, and now they're completely lawless!"

Zhu Ling'er's face turned red with anger as she stomped her feet and said, "How could they do this? They must be taught a lesson!"

"Interesting. Since Patriarch Wang is so eager to play with me, then I'll have to see what tricks Wang Zhenshan can pull."

Lin An remained calm, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It was as if they were facing not the powerful Wang family, but an insignificant ant.

Lin An slowly sheathed the Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade.

His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Wang family mansion, as if he could already foresee his next confrontation with Wang Zhenshan.

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, falling softly on Jinzhou City.

This added a golden glow to this highly anticipated cultivation event.

The entire city seemed to be injected with a magical vitality, awakening from its slumber and becoming bustling with activity.

The streets leading to the grand gathering of cultivators were teeming with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Cultivators from all over the world, dressed in different clothes and carrying their own unique magical artifacts, walked towards the venue in groups of three or five.

Their faces were beaming with excitement as they chatted with each other.

The sounds intertwined, creating a lively symphony.

In the sky, cultivators would occasionally flash by on their flying magical artifacts, leaving behind streaks of dazzling light.

This attracted people on the ground to stop and watch.

At the entrance to the venue, a huge archway soared into the clouds.

The guards at the entrance were dressed in uniform, looking sharp and alert, watching each cultivator entering the venue.

Lin An, Liu Mingxuan, and others slowly entered the venue with the flow of people.

Upon entering the venue, the scene before them was an eye-opener.

In the center of the spacious arena was a huge dueling platform.

It was forged from a mixture of precious spirit crystals and special spirit soil, and it emitted a faint blue light.

Around the dueling platform, rows of neatly arranged chairs were already full of people.

In one corner of the venue, various magical treasures, elixirs, spiritual plants, and other cultivation supplies were displayed. These were prizes prepared for this grand event, attracting everyone's attention.

On the other side were some temporary stalls selling various items related to cultivation, with vendors calling out their wares one after another.

Lin An strolled among the stalls with great interest.

On one of the stalls, there were all sorts of strange and wonderful magical artifacts.

The stall owner was a short, middle-aged monk with exceptionally bright eyes.

Upon seeing Lin An approach, he immediately introduced the sword with great enthusiasm: "Young Master, this Thunder Light Sword was meticulously crafted by me, infused with lightning-elemental spirit crystals. It possesses immense power, making it perfect for both combat and travel!"

Lin An smiled and shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the next stall.

On a nearby stall, a dazzling array of elixirs were displayed, their jade bottles emitting an enticing fragrance.

There are Spirit Recovery Pills that can instantly restore spiritual power, and Qi Gathering Pills that help break through realms.

The stall owner was an elderly woman with white hair, her voice hoarse yet full of enthusiasm: "Young man, my pills are all made from top-grade spiritual plants, with potent effects. Don't miss out!"

Lin An responded politely, still unmoved.

Su Yichen, meanwhile, was happily selecting items.

He stopped in front of a stall and picked up a folding fan with an antique pattern.

With a gentle wave, a spiritual energy shield appeared on the fan. Satisfied, he paid the spirit stones and put the folding fan into his pocket.

Zhu Ling'er is also selecting spiritual plants.

She fell in love with a spiritual plant that emitted a pale pink glow and whose leaves resembled butterflies, and quickly made a deal with the stall owner.
