Chapter 264 The Emperor Takes Action
Lin Zhao let out a long sigh of relief, used the last bit of spiritual energy to unfold the Heavenly Phoenix Wings and land at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. As soon as she landed, she noticed the other members of the Phoenix Medicine Sect who were rushing over.

"Junior Sister Lin?"

Song Tingning, whose face still looked haggard, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Zhao land safely. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Junior Sister, the demons in this cave have not been cleared out yet. I'll have someone take you to a safe place to rest."

Lin Zhao waved his hand: "I'll be fine in a bit. There are Nascent Soul stage demons in that cave, so Senior Brother and all the elders should be careful."

Song Tingning looked at her for a while, until someone called him from the other side, then Song Tingning said, "Then junior sister, take care of yourself."

After Song Tingning and the elders of the Phoenix Medicine Sect went inside, Lin Zhao used the Phoenix Meridian Technique to repair the meridians in her body that were on the verge of being broken. With the help of Nirvana, the injuries in her body recovered at an astonishing speed.

She looked up at the sky and saw the sect leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect emerge from the mountain, his cultivation level approaching the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, steadily suppressing two demons who were at the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

The appearance of the sect leader caused a complete reversal of the situation. The four demons who were originally confident of victory became fat lambs surrounded by wolves.

After the leader of the demons gritted his teeth and took a few moves from the sect leader, a golden light descended from above and completely locked him in place.

Seeing this, the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators brought by Chi Ling were immediately filled with fighting spirit. Originally, the two could only fight the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Demon Clan to a standstill, but now that their morale was high, they managed to force the Demon Clan Nascent Soul stage cultivators to retreat step by step.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining demons who were undergoing tribulation withdrew the sealing formation they had set up and tried to escape.

He didn't even warn the Nascent Soul stage demon who was struggling in the battle, as he tore open a spatial rift and was about to escape.

Only four of the demons came this time. If more came, the disturbances they caused in the Northwest Continent would attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.

He already had two men tied down and one captured. If he didn't run, his entire army would be wiped out. He wasn't that stupid.

A spatial rift formed instantly, and he was about to disappear into it with a single movement. However, to the astonishment of the demons, a pale white hand emerged from the spatial rift he had torn open and picked him up.

This pale and slender hand clearly belonged to a woman. It seemed to have no strength at all, yet it had managed to hold a demon in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

"How can the land of the Ancestral Phoenix allow the demon race to run rampant?"

This sound...

The demon in the tribulation stage went limp and had no strength left to resist.

The sect leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect recognized who had made the move and bowed deeply to the hand, saying, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

Only then did Lin Zhao realize that the hand that had broken through the spatial rift to help was actually the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor.

It seems that the Empress realized something was wrong when Prince Ling went missing, and she immediately opened a rift to provide remote support.

At this time, Lin Zhao's injuries had almost fully recovered. She took out the Heavenly Mirror, saw the message on it, and released Yun Fei and Chi Ling without much thought.

The atmosphere between the father and daughter, who had just been released, was somewhat strange.

Yunfei looked listless, and Prince Chiling, who was standing next to her, also looked pale and not in a good mood.

Lin Zhao wisely refrained from asking what conflict had occurred between the father and daughter, and simply explained that the situation was now safe and the Empress had just made her move.

Upon hearing that the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor had made a move, Prince Chiling couldn't help but glare at his good-for-nothing daughter for the first time.

Yunfei knew she was in the wrong, but this was the first time her father had ever been so fierce to her. She forced a smile and said, "Who knew that the Second Elder was a madman... I was just curious, that's why I came along. Besides, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Prince Chiling was speechless with anger at his daughter. After all, he was still seriously injured and didn't want to talk to this spoiled girl anymore. He pinched his brow and said, "I'm not going to take care of you anymore. You will go out and train with Miss Ling'er. You are not allowed to come home until the Imperial Election!"

Upon hearing this, Yunfei's eyes widened.

Lin Zhao was even more distraught than her, screaming at the Prince of Chiling who turned and walked away: "No!"

She'd rather be forced to do it again by the neck than have a little girl following her around all the time. Unfortunately, Prince Chiling turned and left, and she couldn't keep up with his speed. She could only look at Yunfei, whose face was pale, and keep telling herself that at least she was a rich woman, so she should just make do. What else could she do but divorce him?

Yunfei gestured towards her father's back with her lip, then said to Lin Zhao, "I'll follow you from now on."

Lin Zhao slapped her face, thinking to herself, "I understand."

She looked at Yunfei, who was dressed in a pink dress and looked delicate and tender, and said, "Do you know why I didn't let Jinya come with me before, but instead had you come with me?"

Yunfei: "?"

Lin Zhao said, "Little Princess, you are a cultivator in the Heartbeat stage now. You can't be afraid of demons."

Yunfei bit her lip: "But I've cultivated all this time, and I've never actually been on the battlefield."

Lin Zhao said, "Then let's start with the lower-level demons. If you don't dare to fight the demons in the Heartbeat stage, then fight the demons in the Fusion stage. If you don't dare to fight the demons in the Fusion stage, then fight the demons in the Golden Core stage. If you don't dare to fight the demons in the Golden Core stage, then fight the demons in the Enlightenment stage. If you can kill a pair, don't just kill one. Let's start doing it."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Yunfei into the cave they had been in before.

Yunfei had been here before and knew the basic layout, but when she saw the cave in complete chaos, her legs went weak.

One after another, monsters that resembled neither humans nor demons were devouring flesh and blood, and even deeper into the cave, more and more monsters were emerging.

The Phoenix Medicine Sect dared not send cultivators below the Golden Core stage; they mobilized almost all the cultivators they could to fight.

At this moment, everyone was shocked that the Second Elder had kept so many monsters.

"Is that the Seventh Elder?"

Someone exclaimed as they saw a terrifying monster emerge from the depths of the cave.

"Didn't he go on a mission and then disappear?"

The group exchanged glances, scrutinizing the monsters intently, their faces growing paler.

Aside from being prisoners labeled traitors by the Second Elder, most of these monsters were actually former disciples of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

"Didn't they say they all went on a mission?" someone asked, their voice trembling with tears.

Upon hearing this, Song Tingning's face turned extremely ugly.

At this moment, everyone understood that these disciples and elders were not on a mission at all, but had been refined into demons by the Second Elder, and were living a life worse than death in this sunless cave.

Although I know that the person in charge has become a demon in recent years, knowing it is one thing, but actually seeing his influence is another.

Nearly half of the disciples and elders of the Phoenix Medicine Sect are here!
Lin Zhao sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, summoned the Heavenly Phoenix King, and shouted: "If we do not kill the demons, the disciples of the Phoenix Medicine Sect will suffer even more casualties."

A sharp shout and the shock brought by the Heavenly Phoenix King pulled many people back to their senses. Cultivators who could reach the Golden Core stage had no major problems with their Dao Heart, and they quickly calmed down and resumed the battle.

Lin Zhao severed the head of a monster that had completely fallen into demonic possession with a single sword strike, then glanced at Yun Fei's condition over there.

The little girl used a pink sword to stab a monster in its awakening stage to death, screaming in agony as she did so.

It was as if she, not the monster, had been stabbed.

Lin Zhao sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

She began to understand why Prince Chiling had entrusted this girl to her.
