Duan Tianxing took a deep breath and continued, "The Palace Master created a painting while in seclusion, instructing all Martial Artists of the War God Palace to support it."

"And the person in that painting is you."

What!

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Even the ordinary Martial Artists of the War God Palace were dumbfounded because only the higher-ups of the War God Palace had seen this painting. The higher-ups had kept the news from spreading, so the ordinary Martial Artists were unaware.

This Lin Xuan actually had such a close relationship with the War God Palace!

Martial Artists from other factions were even more shocked.

Lin Xuan furrowed his brows and then, as if recalling something, quickly asked, "What's the name of your Palace Master? What does he look like? Hurry and tell me!"

He considered a possibility, although it seemed incredible, but he had to make sure.

Lin Xuan was very excited because he had thought of a possibility and needed to verify it.

Duan Tianxing did not intend to hide it either, as this matter couldn't be concealed. He thought once Lin Xuan left, those from the War God Palace would definitely come looking for him.

"The Palace Master of the War God Palace is named Lin Zhan. As for how he looks, I think you should know."

Lin Zhan!

Upon hearing this name, Lin Xuan trembled, and it was indeed as he had thought.

Although he was extremely shocked and could not believe it, the fact might be true.

Lin Zhan, that was his father's name. Lin Xuan never expected his father to be the Palace Master of the War God Palace.

But how was this possible?

He had only been separated from his father for about three years, and before that, his father was always in the Xia Country of the Tian Nan Domain. How could he suddenly become the Palace Master of the War God Palace?

The Palace Master of the War God Palace must at least be a King! What kind of opportunity could allow a Martial Artist at the Spirit Transformation Realm to become a King in such a short time?

Lin Xuan couldn't fathom it.

However, the facts before him indicated that the Palace Master of the War God Palace was indeed his father.

Thinking about the Sword Heart Pendant his father gave him and the words left in the Family's Ancestral Land, Lin Xuan felt his father might have a shocking secret beyond what was apparent.

As for what this secret was, he might only know when he met his father in person.

With news of his father, all the questions were resolved. Lin Xuan now finally understood why Duan Tianxing and the others were so intent on killing him.

Because Lin Xuan's true identity was that of the Young Master of the War God Palace!

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the heir of the War God Palace, and the Vice Palace Master, being ambitious, could not tolerate such a threat.

Hence, the series of hunts.

Lin Xuan couldn't believe how he got caught in this power struggle without reason; it seemed there would be fierce battles in the future.

"I'm done talking. Can you release us now?" Duan Tianxing gritted his teeth and said.

"Get lost!"

Lin Xuan kicked him aside.

"Tell your Vice Palace Master that he better not covet the War God Palace. Also, it won't be long before I visit the War God Palace myself!"

Everyone else took a breath of cold air, seeing Lin Xuan's tone, it seemed he intended to wage war against the War God Palace.

Now, many people had inferred some shocking news, and their eyelids twitched wildly.

They never expected Lin Xuan to have such an extraordinary background.

Duan Tianxing climbed up from the ground and left with the people of the War God Palace in a hasty and embarrassed manner, fearing he wouldn't dare provoke Lin Xuan again.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan also sat down to rest, but his mind was in constant thought.

He had found his father's whereabouts, and when the time came, meeting him at the War God Palace would be enough. Moreover, after handling these matters, he still needed to return to the Tian Nan Domain to rescue the Lin Family from their Ice Seal.

After dealing with the affairs of the Heavenly Martial Continent, Lin Xuan would fulfill his promise with Zero, leave the Heavenly Martial Continent, and venture into a broader world to complete his mission.

This mission was undoubtedly related to Dan Yu King and the legendary Elixir Sect, something Lin Xuan would never forget.

In the next few days, no one ran around; instead, they quietly waited, as the day of departure was very close.

However, just the day before their departure, another change occurred.

Because from the distant Azure Pine Hall, an extremely violent Demon Energy suddenly erupted, sweeping through the Nine Heavens as if a Supreme Beast had awakened.

Immediately afterward, a roar like Thunder sounded: "Damn brat, where are you hiding? Come out, I swear I will kill you!"

This voice was filled with endless killing aura.

And upon hearing it, those Martial Artists in the distance turned pale and trembled.

"It's the Heavenly Nether Bird, that's the Heavenly Nether Bird's voice! Damn it, it's revived again!"

"Not good, the Heavenly Nether Bird is coming, everyone run!"

Everyone was in a panic, fleeing for their lives.

There was no choice; the Heavenly Nether Bird was too powerful, even the King Level wasn't its match, and they couldn't possibly compete.

So they chose to hide, knowing that if they could evade for one more day, they could safely leave.

Lin Xuan also frowned, as he didn't expect the Heavenly Nether Bird to recover its strength so quickly, which was bad news for him.

Moreover, should it also leave here and reach the Heavenly Martial Continent, it would likely cause a bloody storm.

And with his current strength, he was not yet a match for it, encountering it again would be troublesome.

Beside him, Zhao Xue and Murong Qingcheng watched Lin Xuan with suspicion.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Xuan felt unnerved by their gazes.

"That brat the Heavenly Nether Bird mentioned, could it be you? What did you do to make it so furious?"

Murong Qingcheng looked puzzled, and Zhao Xue was also very curious.

Lin Xuan said lightly, "Nothing much, just plucked one of its feathers and took some of its blood."

"What, you injured the Heavenly Nether Bird?" The two were shocked.

This was huge news; what was the existence of the Heavenly Nether Bird, a Supreme Demon Beast, at least King Level!

Yet such a terrifying existence was injured by Lin Xuan, which was truly unbelievable.

"It's not that exaggerated, I wasn't the one fighting it; I just took advantage of the situation," Lin Xuan said.

Seeing Lin Xuan unwilling to elaborate further, the two didn't ask any more questions; instead, they quickly retreated away.

The best plan now was to leave safely, not to provoke the Heavenly Nether Bird.

The Heavenly Nether Bird searched around and, finding no trace of Lin Xuan, became furious, endlessly attacking everything in its vicinity.

Soon, the forests and mountains were leveled to flat land.

However, this situation lasted only for half a day before the Heavenly Nether Bird disappeared, and the terrifying presence also vanished.

This allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, yet that night, the terrifying aura surged once more.

Witnessing this strange scene, Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
