"Hmph, Li An, you really are here." A cold voice rang out from the crowd. Wang Qiang and Zhang Min slowly stepped out, smug smiles on their faces.
Chapter 463 Warmth and Strength
Li An's heart tightened. He hadn't expected to encounter remnants of the mysterious organization here, much less that Wang Qiang and Zhang Min would come in person. He held Guo Yao's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from her, which calmed him slightly.
"Wang Qiang, Zhang Min, what are you trying to do?" Li An asked in a deep voice, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination.
Wang Qiang sneered: "Li An, you have repeatedly ruined our plans. This time, we will not let you escape again."
Just then, a police siren sounded from afar, and a police car stopped not far away. Li Yun got out of the car and saw the scene before 467. His brows furrowed, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Li An, what are you up to now?" Li Yun asked loudly, his voice filled with obvious dissatisfaction.
Li An felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that Li Yun's suspicions about him had never been dispelled. But at this moment, he had to remain calm, dealing with the threat from the mysterious organization while also proving his innocence to Li Yun.
“Li Yun, let me explain, these people…” Li An had just started to speak when Wang Qiang interrupted him.
"Explain what? Li An, you are a criminal, and today we will bring you to justice!" Wang Qiang shouted, trying to incite the surrounding crowd.
However, Li An remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Wang Qiang and Zhang Min, bracing himself for the impending battle. Guo Yao clung tightly to Li An's arm, her eyes filled with trust, a trust that gave Li An immense strength.
"Attack!" Wang Qiang shouted, charging towards Li An first.
The battle was about to erupt. Wang Qiang used all sorts of ruthless moves, attempting a swift victory. Li An, on the other hand, nimbly dodged while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. His figure darted through the crowd, each dodge perfectly timed, as if he were one with the night.
"Li An, watch out!" Guo Yao suddenly shouted, as Zhang Min attacked from the side, her dagger gleaming coldly.
Li An's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't panic. He sidestepped Zhang Min's attack with ease, and at the same time, he threw a backhand punch, knocking Zhang Min back. However, Wang Qiang seized the opportunity to attack from behind, throwing a punch at Li An's back.
Li An sneered inwardly. As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he suddenly leaped forward, dodging Wang Qiang's fatal blow. At the same time, he turned and kicked Wang Qiang hard in the abdomen, sending Wang Qiang flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.
This brilliant counterattack stunned the surrounding henchmen of the mysterious organization; they hadn't expected Li An to be so powerful. Even Li Yun showed a surprised expression, re-examining Li An with a hint of doubt in his heart.
Wang Qiang scrambled to his feet, his face contorted with rage: "Li An, don't be so smug, today is your death day!"
With that, he charged at Li An again, intending to fight him to the death. However, Li An didn't take him seriously. He dodged Wang Qiang's attack with ease, and at the same time punched Wang Qiang in the face, knocking him dizzy.
Just then, Zhang Min charged forward again. Her eyes were filled with anger and resentment; she attempted to deliver a fatal blow to Li An with her dagger. However, Li An seemed to read her mind. He sidestepped, easily dodging Zhang Min's attack. At the same time, he grabbed Zhang Min's wrist and twisted it forcefully. With a "crack," Zhang Min's dagger fell to the ground, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
Chapter 464 Remnants of the Mysterious Organization
Pressing his advantage, Li An kicked Zhang Min in the knee, sending her sprawling to her knees. Then, he bent down, grabbed her hair, and slammed her head against the ground until she saw stars and blood trickled from her mouth.
"Tell me, where exactly is that mysterious power?" Li An asked sternly, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination.
Zhang Min groaned in pain, but she didn't speak. Enraged, Li An slammed Zhang Min's head against the ground again, knocking her unconscious.
Seeing their leader defeated, the remaining members of the mysterious organization began to flee in all directions. Li An did not give chase; he simply turned to face Li Yun, ready to explain everything.
“Li Yun, you see, these people are remnants of a mysterious organization, and they are plotting against me,” Li An said calmly, his voice tinged with helplessness.
Li Yun looked at Li An, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Li An to possess such strength, much less that he would defeat the remnants of the mysterious organization so easily. However, even so, the doubts in his heart hadn't been completely dispelled.
“Li An, I know you’re no ordinary person, but I can’t believe you based on just one side of the story,” Li Yun said in a deep voice, his tone firm.
Li An nodded; he understood Li Yun's doubts. After all, he had indeed had dealings with the mysterious organization, and his identity was indeed somewhat mysterious. But at this moment, he had to prove his innocence to Li Yun.
“Li Yun, I understand your concerns, but I can assure you that I have never done anything illegal or disorderly. That mysterious force does exist, and it poses a threat to the safety of the city. The reason I’m staying here is to find it and eliminate this threat,” Li An said sincerely, his eyes revealing determination and earnestness.
Li Yun looked at Li An and remained silent for a moment. Then, he slowly nodded: "Alright, Li An, I'll trust you this once. But if you do anything illegal or disorderly again, I will show no mercy."
Li An smiled slightly and extended his hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Li Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally extended his hand to shake Li An's. Their hands clasped tightly together, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Just then, Li An's phone rang. He answered it, and heard a hurried voice on the other end: "Li An, something bad has happened! That mysterious force seems to be making new movements in the Mysterious Forest!"
Li An's heart skipped a beat. He immediately hung up the phone and turned to Li Yun, saying, "Li Yun, I have something urgent to deal with. I'm entrusting this matter to you."
Li Yun nodded: "Don't worry, go ahead. Leave this to me."
Li An glanced gratefully at Li Yun, then quickly pulled Guo Yao away from the scene. They walked through the bustling crowd and disappeared into the night.
The Mysterious Forest, located on the edge of the city, is a pristine, untouched forest. At this moment, the forest appears particularly eerie and terrifying in the night, as if concealing endless secrets.
Li An and Guo Yao moved through the dense forest, their eyes sharp, as if searching for something. Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from ahead, making both of them feel uneasy.
"Li An, this is it. The aura of that mysterious power is getting stronger and stronger," Guo Yao said in a low voice, a hint of tension in her tone.
Chapter 465 The Source of Mysterious Power
Li An nodded, gripping his sharp blade tightly, preparing to face the impending unknown danger. The two continued onward, finally arriving at an open meadow. There stood an ancient altar, its surface shimmering with an eerie light.
“It seems this is the source of that mysterious power,” Li An said in a deep voice, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.
Just then, a powerful energy surged from the altar, causing both of them to stumble back several steps. Li An steadied himself, staring intently at the altar, preparing to face the impending challenge.
"Li An, be careful!" Guo Yao suddenly shouted. A black figure appeared on the altar, exuding an evil aura, as if it were a demon crawling out of hell.
Li An's heart tightened, and he immediately unleashed all his strength, engaging in a fierce battle with the black figure. The two figures darted across the grass, each collision accompanied by a deafening roar. Trees around them collapsed under their attacks, and the air was thick with smoke and the smell of gunpowder.
Li An grew increasingly fierce in battle, each of his attacks imbued with immense power. However, the black figure was no less formidable, its attacks equally ferocious. The two exchanged blows, locked in a stalemate.
Just then, Li An suddenly felt a familiar power surging within him. Overjoyed, he quickly merged this power with his own internal energy. Instantly, his strength increased dramatically, and his body radiated a dazzling light.
"Take this!" Li An shouted, his figure bursting forth like lightning as he rushed towards the black figure. The sharp blade in his hand swung like lightning, each strike aimed directly at the black figure's vital points.
The black figure was shocked; it hadn't expected Li An to be so powerful. It hurriedly unleashed all its might to try and defend against Li An's attacks. However, Li An's attacks were like a relentless storm, leaving it utterly powerless to resist.
Finally, after a fierce collision, the black figure was cleaved in two by Li An's blade. Its body turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air. The light on the altar also vanished, as if it had never existed.
Li An stood there, his panting echoing in the silent forest. He turned to look at Guo Yao, and saw a relieved smile on her face.
In the mysterious forest shrouded in thick fog, Li An and Guo Yao walked side by side, each step treading on the edge of the unknown and danger... Li An's eyes were firm, and a resolute smile played on his lips, while Guo Yao followed closely behind, her eyes showing both fear of the unknown and deep trust in Li An.
"An, the fog is so thick, I can't see anything." Guo Yao's voice trembled slightly as she unconsciously moved closer to Li An, as if she could draw a bit of courage from him.
Li An gripped Guo Yao's hand tightly, feeling the slight coolness of her palm, and a warm current surged in his heart. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could pierce through the mist and reach the depths of Guo Yao's heart.
Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and then several hidden traps quietly revealed their menacing faces. Li An's eyes sharpened instantly, and he pulled Guo Yao sharply, the two narrowly avoiding the traps.
"Be careful!" Li An whispered a warning, while glancing around warily, as if ready to deal with any potential danger at any moment.
Guo Yao's heart raced, but she didn't back down. Instead, she nestled even closer to Li An, her eyes conveying her unwavering support.
Chapter 466 Look at me!
As they ventured deeper into the forest, the air seemed to grow heavier, making it difficult to breathe. Just then, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and several agile, mysterious creatures darted out of the bushes, heading straight for them.
"Watch out!" Li An shouted, drawing his longsword from his waist in preparation for battle.
These creatures had bizarre shapes and attacked with incredible speed, seemingly able to appear anywhere in an instant. Li An and Guo Yao fought back fiercely, but soon felt overwhelmed.
"These 10 guys are too troublesome!" Guo Yao said breathlessly, wielding her short blade.
Just then, a flash of silver light appeared, and Silver Moon appeared before them. It widened its eyes and gave Li An a playful look, as if to say, "Watch this!"
Silver Moon nimbly weaved among the creatures, using its familiarity with the forest to quickly pinpoint their weaknesses. It leaped and shrieked, guiding Li An and Guo Yao's attacks.
Seizing the opportunity, Li An ruthlessly swung his sword, slashing at the neck of one of the creatures. Blood splattered everywhere, and the creature collapsed. Seeing this, the other creatures showed expressions of terror, and their attacks weakened.
"Well done!" Guo Yao exclaimed excitedly, looking at Li An with admiration in her eyes.
Li An smiled slightly, but did not lower his guard. He knew that the real battle had only just begun.
The surrounding trees trembled, as if shaken by the battle. The leaves rustled, as if telling ancient forest tales.
Just when they thought they could continue forward, a massive barrier suddenly appeared before them. This barrier radiated a dazzling light, as if it could isolate everything.
"What is this?" Guo Yao asked in surprise, she had never seen such a powerful barrier before.
Li An stared at the barrier, his brow furrowed. He tried to break through it with his strength, but the moment he made contact, he was repelled by a powerful force.
"Damn it!" Lian roared angrily, feeling his dignity had been challenged.
Guo Yao rushed forward to help Li An up, her eyes filled with worry. "Are you alright?" she asked with concern.
Li An shook his head, his gaze returning to the barrier. He noticed some strange symbols on the barrier, which shimmered faintly, as if telling some ancient secret.
“These symbols… I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before,” Li An murmured to himself, as images flashed through his mind—memories of his explorations in ancient ruins.
"Do you remember these symbols?" Guo Yao asked, her eyes sparkling with hope.
Li An nodded, but his expression remained solemn. "These symbols represent an ancient sealing technique. To break through this barrier, we must first unlock the secrets of these symbols."
Upon hearing this, Guo Yao felt a sense of unease. She knew that this would be an even more difficult challenge.
Li An and Guo Yao sat in front of the barrier and began to carefully study the strange symbols. Silver Moon also came over and examined the mysterious marks with its curious eyes.
“These symbols look like some kind of ancient script, but they’re not entirely familiar to us,” Lian said, frowning.
Guo Yao nodded, looking at the symbols, a strange sense of familiarity welling up inside her. But she knew this feeling wouldn't help them solve the puzzle.
The World Where Chapter 467 Is Located
Time ticked by, and the three remained clueless. Frustrated, Li An slammed his fist into the ground, sending leaves tumbling down from the trees.
