"it is good."
Lin Chuan nodded, his eyes filled with eagerness. He took a deep breath and tried to imitate Jiang Wanying's Seven Star Steps. But after just a few steps, he started to mess up, constantly stepping on his left foot with his right, looking both awkward and ridiculous.
Jiang Wanying looked at Lin Chuan's flustered look and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But seeing Lin Chuan's annoyed face, she quickly suppressed her smile and walked forward to comfort him softly: "Don't worry, Chuan. This Seven Star Step may seem simple, but it actually requires the coordination of the pace and the circulation of spiritual power. It is inevitable to make mistakes when trying it for the first time."
As she spoke, she gently held Lin Chuan's arm and guided him to take the first step: "First, calm your mind, feel the spiritual power flowing in your body, and move your feet in accordance with the rhythm of the spiritual power." Jiang Wanying patiently guided Lin Chuan while slowly pacing, trying to help him find that subtle feeling.
After teaching Lin Chuan three times, Jiang Wanying asked Lin Chuan to practice slowly outside the attic, while she continued to look through the documents that Lin Chuan had reviewed, carefully checking for any mistakes.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Chuan immersed himself in the practice of the Seven Star Steps. At first, his movements were a bit stiff, but as he continued to practice, his steps became more and more smooth, as if he had reached some kind of tacit understanding with the spiritual power in his body.
Gradually, the seven flying swords, which had been resting quietly, began to tremble slightly. As Lin Chuan's Seven Star Steps accelerated, the flying swords seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly rising up and circling around him in a specific trajectory.
Finally, the seven flying swords successfully formed a sword formation. The sword formation glowed, emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, and Lin Chuan felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart.
"Is that it? As expected of me!"
Lin Chuan's face was filled with joy, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
……
Inside the demon clan's hall, the atmosphere was as solemn and dignified as ever.
The attendants knelt respectfully in the hall and, as usual, reported the recent major and minor events of the demon clan in an orderly manner.
However, what was different from the past was that there was now a charming woman sitting on the throne where Ye Wutan usually sat alone.
The woman was dressed in a purple gauze dress, with a graceful figure, like a willow swaying in the wind. She half leaned against Ye Wutan, her eyes full of affection.
Ye Wutan looked calm, with no emotion visible in his deep eyes. He would only occasionally turn his head to look at the woman beside him.
"Ever since the death of Pig King and Snake Nine, the Wolf Clan seems to be showing signs of swallowing up their clan."
The attendant lowered his head, his voice steady but with a hint of caution, not daring to look up at the expressions of the two people on the throne.
The demon clan adopts a system similar to feudal fiefdom. The Demon King has the greatest power and is the leader of the demon clan, while the other demon kings each rule their own territory.
To become a demon king, one must either possess the strength of the Spirit Transformation Stage or have a prominent status.
Moreover, the demon kings are divided into different ranks according to their strength. Those demon kings with prominent status but insufficient strength naturally depend on the Demon Emperor.
Those powerful demon kings will try every means to gather tribes without demon kings in order to enhance the strength and influence of their own tribes.
"Go down."
Ye Wutan waved his hand and spoke in a cold voice. The servant kowtowed respectfully as if he had been pardoned and slowly retreated.
"What do you think about this?"
After the servants left, Ye Wutan pinched Catwoman's chin, lifted her face slightly, and looked straight into her eyes with a sharp gaze, as if trying to find out her inner thoughts.
"I don't know who I am."
Catwoman lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, looking submissive.
"I brought you here to sit in on government affairs not just to look good. I don't need trash around me."
Ye Wutan exerted a little force, pinched Catwoman's chin with his fingers, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Catwoman felt the pain, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, but she resisted the urge to struggle. She looked at Ye Wutian pitifully and said hurriedly:
"Please calm down, my lord. In my opinion, the snakes and pigs are now like a delicious blood meal. There are definitely more than just the wolves who want to take a bite. My lord, you might as well wait and see what happens."
"Wait until they fight and deplete their strength. Then, My Lord, in the name of the Demon King, will step forward and legitimately clean up the mess, regaining control of all forces. This will also allow me to use this opportunity to eliminate those with ill intentions and consolidate My Lord's rule over the demon race."
Catwoman finished speaking in one breath, carefully observing Ye Wuotian's expression, feeling uneasy.
"Why didn't you say it before?"
Ye Wutan's eyes were as fast as lightning as he stared at Catwoman, the coldness on his face not diminishing at all.
"..."
"I have long hair and little knowledge, and cannot compare to your foresight. Besides, I have no interest in these things. I just want to quietly accompany you, my lord."
Catwoman raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her eyes full of tenderness and dependence, as if she was afraid that Ye Wutan would get angry and no longer trust her.
"If you want to stay by my side, you must be useful."

Fengtian Pavilion.
After practicing the Seven Star Steps several more times, Lin Chuan focused his research on the sword formation.
"What will happen if I put Xingye into this sword formation again?"
Lin Chuan muttered to himself, a hint of curiosity and determination flashing in his eyes.
With Xingye's entry into the formation, the connection between the flying swords instantly became disrupted. The sword formation's light flickered unsteadily, and the spiritual energy that had been flowing in an orderly manner ran wild like a wild horse.
But the spiritual energy was out of control, instead impacting his meridians, causing a sweet sensation in his throat and nearly spitting out blood. The seven flying swords trembled wildly, as if trying to break free from the sword formation.
The Starry Night Sword shone brightly, repelling the surrounding flying swords and making a harsh buzzing sound.
"Yanzhen."
A crisp sound was heard, and Lin Chuan felt that a hot and powerful spiritual power instantly severed his connection with the flying sword. The seven flying swords instantly fell to the ground, leaving only Xingye hovering in place.
Lin Chuan's body swayed and he almost fell. He steadied himself and turned around to see Jiang Wanying standing not far away with an anxious look on her face.
Her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with worry and reproach. "Ah Chuan, you're too reckless! This sword formation is extremely complex. How can you just add new swords at will? If you're not careful, your spiritual power will get out of control and endanger yourself."
"Senior Sister, I know I was wrong."
Lin Chuan immediately admitted his mistake, his head drooping and his voice full of regret.
"Achuan wants to learn sword formation?"
Seeing Lin Chuan admit his mistake, Jiang Wanying's expression immediately relaxed, her eyes full of concern and gentleness.
"I do." Lin Chuan said without hesitation.
"Um……"
"I'm not very proficient in sword formations, and my master is probably the same as me. We in Qingluan Holy Land don't have any elders who are particularly proficient in formations."
"So, for now, just learn the basics of sword formation."
As she spoke, Jiang Wanying took out a book titled "Detailed Explanation of the Basics of Sword Formation" from the storage space and handed it to Lin Chuan.
"In a few days, I will take Ah Chuan to see someone who is proficient in sword formations."
"Won't this disrupt Senior Sister and my plans to play?"
"No, it's just on the way."
