"Since Brother Zhou has given it to me, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Lin An didn't stand on ceremony, and then took out another pill and gave it to the other party, "It's only right to return the favor. I happen to have another pill that can help someone break through to the Epic Realm, so I'll give it to Brother Zhou."
"This..."
Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and accepted it. "In that case, I won't be pretentious. This pill is indeed of great use to my Zhou Clan."
Lin An smiled and nodded. After exchanging a few more polite words, Lin An left Guangwu City via the Teleportation Formation.
As for Zheng Tang and the others, they had already left yesterday.
Upon arriving in the royal city, Lin An did not stop. He went to another Teleportation Formation and entered the Sin Abyss.
In less than a day, when Lin An reappeared, he had already returned to the First Line of Defense of Heavenly Vault Pass.
"The aura of King Realm Eighth Grade must belong to that elder of the royal family."
Lin An sensed an unfamiliar aura and immediately understood.
He did not reveal himself and went directly to the main hall where his maternal uncle Li Zhao, was.
" An'er, you're back."
When Li Xiyun saw Lin An, her eyes lit up.
"Mother, I'm home."
Lin An nodded, his gaze falling on the blood cocoon in the center, now covered with countless cracks. "Uncle should be finishing his rebirth by now."
"Yes, your grandfather has come to see you. The rebirth should be completed in about three days." Li Xiyun said with a smile.
After all these years, she was naturally happy that her older brother was finally about to fully recover.
"Aren't the royal family members planning to leave yet?" Lin An asked.
"Hmm, I guess they have some other motives, but with your grandfather around, there's no need to worry," Li Xiyun said.
Lin An nodded. Among the royal family members who came this time, only one elder of the royal family King Realm Eighth Grade.
With her maternal grandfather Li Yunshan around, she wasn't afraid of any underhanded tactics from the other side, especially with her mother Li Xiyun, a powerful expert at the King Realm, also there.
Furthermore, since he is also at the King Realm and his identity has not yet been revealed, there is even less reason to worry.
"How is your father?" Li Xiyun asked at this moment.
Lin An smiled. "Father already knows about Mother's situation and sent me with some things."
As Lin An spoke, he handed several jade talismans to Li Xiyun. At this moment, the jade talismans had the effect of capturing images.
Li Xiyun's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took the jade talisman. If Lin An hadn't been there, she would have activated it immediately to check.
"Mother, I'll guard this place, you should go and rest," Lin An said.
Li Xiyun nodded and immediately left the main hall.
Lin An then sat down cross-legged, glanced at the blood cocoon, and after confirming that there were no problems, he also entered a state of cultivation.
Meanwhile, in a pavilion in Heavenly Vault Pass.
"Elder, Li Xiyun said she was going to take care of Li Zhao and hasn't shown up for days. This is utterly disrespectful to me."
The Third Prince said coldly.
The elder glanced at the other party; it was normal for Li Xiyun, King Realm expert, to not take the other party seriously.
However, he cursed her inwardly as a useless piece of trash, having brought her along only to have her pester Li Xiyun.
Surprisingly, after so many days, the other party still couldn't even see Li Xiyun.
"Third Prince, there's no need to rush. We'll be staying at Heavenly Vault Pass for at least another half month. I'll look for an opportunity for you later," said the elder of the great clan.
These days he has also been looking for an opportunity to assassinate Li Zhao, but unfortunately Li Yunshan is keeping a close eye on him.
Furthermore, with Li Xiyun constantly watching over Li Zhao, he had little chance.
As they were talking, the elder's eyes suddenly lit up. He realized that Li Xiyun had just left the main hall.
"Third Prince, your chance has come."
The elder clan leader immediately informed the Third Prince of Li Xiyun's whereabouts.
Upon hearing that Li Xiyun had finally shown herself, the Third Prince immediately stood up.
"Elder, I'll go find her right away," the Third Prince said.
To say he had any particular affection for Li Xiyun would be an understatement, given that they had only met a handful of times.
The main reason for their enthusiasm is that they admire Li Xiyun's abilities.
If he had a King Realm expert like the other party, it would be much easier for him to compete for the throne in the future.
Moreover, once Li Xiyun is captured, it also means that the Heavenly Vault King will stand on his side from now on.
After watching the Third Prince leave, the eldest clan elder also began to take action.
He immediately went out of the attic and found Li Yunshan.
"Elder, is something the matter?"
Upon seeing the other party arrive, Li Yunshan asked curiously.
" Heavenly Vault King, I have gained some insights these past few days, and I would like to discuss the Dao with you. Do you have the time?" the elder asked with a smile.
Li Yunshan frowned, knowing in his heart that the other party was definitely not there to truly discuss the Dao with him.
It is imperative to take action and achieve the other party's true objective.
"Are you going to attack Zhao'er?"
Li Yunshan thought to himself, he wasn't stupid, and he had roughly guessed the other party's purpose over the past few days.
"Of course."
Li Yunshan nodded.
He knew that Lin An had returned and was now guarding the main hall where Li Zhao was, so he was not worried about the elder's petty tricks.
The other party wanted to entangle him, but wasn't he also entangled with the other party?
The two immediately sat facing each other, simultaneously releasing the power of the rules they possessed, and began to communicate.
On the other side, Li Xiyun was activating the jade talisman, and a shadow image appeared.
Looking at Lin Xiao in the commemorative photo, Li Xiyun's eyes were filled with joy and longing. As she listened to his story, her face flushed.
"How old are you? Still saying such embarrassing things," Li Xiyun muttered to herself, but her gaze never left Lin Xiao in the photograph.
But not long after, a voice suddenly rang out from outside.
"Reporting to Miss, the Third Prince wishes to see you," said the guard outside.
Li Xiyun paused, because she had been so engrossed in taking photos that she hadn't noticed the Third Prince's arrival.
Did he say what it was about?
"He didn't say, he only told me to send my subordinate to invite the young lady."
Li Xiyun frowned. She originally wanted to refuse directly, but then she suddenly remembered what her father Li Yunshan, had said to her before.
Is this the start of a fight?
Li Xiyun sneered. Now that An'er is back, even if the other party makes a move, they are bound to fail.
With that thought in mind, Li Xiyun left the room and headed towards the hall.
Meanwhile, the elder of the clan, who was exchanging cultivation experiences with Li Yunshan at the King Realm, realized that the Third Prince and Li Xiyun were meeting and knew that his opportunity had come.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure moved within the attic where they lived, and then vanished.
Inside the main hall.
Lin An, who was cultivating, raised an eyebrow. He sensed an unfamiliar aura approaching.
Although this aura was extremely well-hidden, even a Mythic Realm Ninth Grade expert would have difficulty detecting it, but for him, who had already reached the King Realm, it was discovered immediately.
"Is the royal family planning to take action against the eldest uncle?"
Lin An understood everything. He immediately concealed his aura, maintained his cultivation at the Mythic Realm level, and quietly waited for the other party to arrive.
