Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

With the defeat of the demon army, Jinzhou City finally ushered in a brief period of peace.

On the city wall, the cultivators were exhausted, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory. Lin An stood on the city wall, watching the black smoke gradually dissipate in the distance, but he was not completely relaxed.

He knew that although the battle was won, the threat of the extraterrestrial demons had not been completely eliminated.

These extraterrestrial demons are certainly not limited to the Sixth Demon Palace or the Seventh Demon Palace.

"Young friend Lin An, we owe you a great debt of gratitude this time; otherwise, Jinzhou City would likely have been lost."

Xuan Fengzi walked to Lin An's side, her tone filled with gratitude.

Lin An shook his head and said, "Senior, you flatter me. If it weren't for the timely intervention of the True Immortals, I alone would not have been able to withstand that Demon Lord."

Xuan Fengzi smiled slightly, patted Lin An on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, there's no need to be modest. We've all seen your courage and strength. But what are your plans for the future?"

Lin An pondered for a moment, then said, "Although the extraterrestrial demons have temporarily retreated, their threat has not been eliminated. I suspect that this invasion is just the beginning, and even more powerful demons may descend in the future. We must prepare in advance."

Xuan Fengzi nodded, his expression grave: "You're right. This invasion by the demons is indeed somewhat strange. Why did they choose to attack at this time? Besides wanting to seize the Heavenly Evolution Pearl, they must have other motives."

"Upon my return, I will report this matter to His Majesty and order the Great Qian Demon Suppression Division to dispatch spies to search for traces of extraterrestrial demons!"

Just as Lin An was about to answer, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura coming from afar.

He looked up and saw a golden light flash across the horizon, followed by an old man in a golden robe appearing on the city wall.

"Warriors of Jinzhou City, you have worked hard!" The old man's voice was loud and clear, carrying an air of authority.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Fengzi, Liu Zhanshu, and the others quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Welcome, Grand Preceptor!"

Lin An then realized that the old man in front of him was actually the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Kingdom—the Supervisor.

Lin An was somewhat puzzled. Why would the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty appear at this time?

The supervisor waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities, then his gaze fell on Lin An, and he smiled slightly, saying, "This young friend must be Lin An?"

Lin An nodded and said respectfully, "Junior Lin An greets the Imperial Preceptor."

The supervisor nodded in satisfaction and said, "This invasion of evil spirits was made possible thanks to your timely assistance in bringing in several True Immortals; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. On behalf of the Great Qian Kingdom, I express my gratitude to you."

Lin An quickly replied, "You flatter me, Grand Preceptor. I only did my bit of effort."

The supervisor smiled, then his expression turned serious. He said, "However, this invasion by demons is indeed somewhat strange. I suspect that their target is not just Jinzhou City, but the entire Great Qian Dynasty."

These words startled everyone. Xuan Fengzi frowned and said, "Does the Imperial Advisor mean that the demons' invasion has another purpose?"

The supervisor nodded and said, "That's right. According to the intelligence I've received, the extraterrestrial demons have been very active in recent years, seemingly searching for something. And this invasion of Jinzhou City may just be part of their plan."

Lin An's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of something. He quickly asked, "Imperial Preceptor, what is the demon searching for?"

The supervisor glanced at Lin An, pondered for a moment, and said, "As far as I know, they seem to be searching for an ancient artifact—the 'Chaos Bell'."

"The Chaos Bell?"

Lin An was taken aback; he had never heard of this divine artifact before.

The supervisor explained, "The Chaos Bell was forged by a powerful being in ancient times. It is said to possess the power to suppress heaven and earth and reverse time and space. It is a Heavenly-Rank Spiritual Treasure! If it falls into the hands of extraterrestrial demons, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Upon hearing this, Lin An's heart sank.

He never expected that the demon's target would be such a terrifying artifact.

If they succeed, the entire Great Qian Dynasty will likely be plunged into catastrophe.

"Grand Preceptor, how should we deal with this?" Xuan Fengzi asked.

The supervisor said in a deep voice, "The most urgent task is to find the Chaos Bell as soon as possible, and we must not let it fall into the hands of demons. In addition, we need to unite the strength of various sects in the Great Qian Kingdom to jointly resist the invasion of demons."

Lin An nodded and said, "The Imperial Advisor is absolutely right. However, the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell will probably be difficult to find. How should we proceed?"

The supervisor glanced at Lin An and suddenly smiled, "Young friend Lin An, we may need your help with this matter."

Lin An was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What does the Imperial Advisor mean?"

The supervisor smiled slightly, looking intently at Lin An, and slowly said, "Young friend Lin An, you are so young, yet you have been able to display such great strength during this demonic invasion, which is truly remarkable. I observe that you possess extraordinary luck, and you may be the key figure in finding the Chaos Bell."

Upon hearing this, Lin An was startled and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Grand Preceptor, you flatter me. I am but a humble cultivator; how could I possibly be worthy of such a responsibility?"

The supervisor waved his hand and smiled, "You don't need to be modest. I sense a special aura within you, which seems to have some connection with ancient artifacts. Perhaps this is the key to your ability to sense the Chaos Bell."

Lin An's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this old guy was so powerful that he discovered the strangeness in his body?

Seeing Lin An remain silent, the supervisor continued, "Young friend Lin An, this mission to find the Chaos Bell is of utmost importance. It concerns not only the safety of the Great Qian Kingdom but also the fate of the entire world. I hope you will join the Great Qian Demon Suppression Division and work with us to find the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell."

Lin An raised his head, looking firmly at the Supervisor, and solemnly said, "Grand Preceptor, I am willing to do my part for the Great Qian Kingdom. However, my strength is too weak, and I am afraid I am not up to the task."

The supervisor laughed and said, "You don't need to underestimate yourself. Your potential is far greater than this. As long as you are willing to join the Demon Suppression Division, we will naturally do our best to train you and help you improve your strength."

Lin An nodded and said, "In that case, I am willing to join the Demon Suppression Division and serve the country."

The supervisor nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Xuan Fengzi and the others, saying, "Gentlemen, although the demonic invasion has temporarily subsided, we cannot let our guard down. Next, we need to unite with the major sects to jointly resist the demonic invasion."

"At the same time, the task of finding the Chaos Bell will be led by the Demon Suppression Division. If you have any clues, please inform us in time."

Xuan Fengzi and the others nodded in agreement.

The supervisor then looked at Lin An and said, "Young friend Lin An, come with me back to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. I have important matters to discuss with you!"

Lin An nodded, then bid farewell to Xuan Fengzi and the others, and after saying goodbye to Su Yichen and Liu Mingxuan, he left Jinzhou City with the Supervisor.

……

The capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, Tianjing City.

As the capital of the Great Qian Kingdom, Tianjing City was incredibly prosperous, with its streets bustling with people and vehicles.

Lin An followed the supervisor all the way and soon arrived at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.

The headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division is located in the heart of Tianjing City. It is a magnificent complex of buildings, protected by powerful arrays, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.

The supervisor led Lin An into the headquarters and went straight to a spacious hall.

Inside the hall, several cultivators dressed in black robes had been waiting for some time.

"Grand Preceptor, you've returned." A black-robed cultivator stepped forward and bowed, then his gaze fell on Lin An, and he asked with a hint of doubt, "And who is this?"
