Chapter 275 Rumors of the Phoenix Clan
Seeing this, Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this second-ranked expert on the Prodigy Ranking.

After releasing the Zhao family, Lin Zhao learned a little about their current situation and then, with a great headache, instructed the Zhao family's cultivators in the Heartbeat stage not to come to the Divine Soul World for the next three months.

Lin Zhao wasn't particularly worried about cultivators at other stages, because the Zhao family had made it very clear that the Zhao family lacked capable leaders among the younger generation, and the higher one climbed, the deeper the Zhao family's foundation became. In addition, cultivators at other stages wouldn't face targeting from a powerful clan's young master like Lu Xiuqing.

With the Zhao family settled, half of the biggest problem that Old Zhao had given her was undoubtedly solved.

Thinking of Lu Xiuqing, who was still eyeing the Zhao family with covetous intent, Lin Zhao pressed her temples and sighed.

Li Yi said, "You've protected the Zhao family too tightly, which will only make them more vulnerable after they lose you."

Lin Zhao paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "If the Zhao family had someone in their early stages who could rank in the top 500 of the Prodigy Ranking, perhaps I could help them out, but..."

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. The Zhao family's foundation during the initial stage of development was too weak. Although it was much better than the integration stage, it was still far behind.

Lin Zhao learned from the Zhao family that, apart from Yunhe Cliff, where the Zhao family was in the Fusion stage, all the cultivation areas of the Zhao family in the Divine Soul World had been taken over. Moreover, now the number of Zhao family members who could enter the Divine Soul World was less than one-tenth of what it used to be. The previous nine-tenths had been directly sent back to their original bodies by those cultivators who seized the territory, and they would not be able to return to the Divine Soul World for one or two years.

Lin Zhao couldn't afford to wait a year or two.

Under such circumstances, Lin Zhao had no other choice.

Li Yi naturally understood the Zhao family's current predicament. He nodded and said, "However, if you can defeat the number one person on the Prodigy Ranking, you can maintain the Zhao family's status as a Heartbeat Stage cultivator in the Divine Soul World for nearly a hundred years."

Lin Zhao's eyes flickered: "Does the first place winner have any special privileges?"

Li Yi said, "To be precise, the top five all have this privilege. The clansmen and their areas of activity of the top five on the Prodigy Ranking will be protected by the law enforcers. In fact, this is most evident during the Integration Stage. After you defeated Qian Miao, didn't the Zhao family's area of ​​activity become stable? Even though you have now advanced to the Heartbeat Stage, for the next hundred years, no one will dare to mess with the Zhao family's Yunhe Cliff during the Integration Stage. This is a recognition of your past ranking. Otherwise, which prodigy would risk their life to fight for that ranking for a mere empty title?"

Of course, they only fight for things that benefit them.

Of course, such benefits are practically meaningless to some powerful clans in the upper realm, such as the ancient dragon clan, who don't care about the protection of the law enforcers at all.

After all, who would dare to provoke the ancient dragon clan?

Therefore, not all the geniuses in the upper realm are on the genius list; some with terrifying talents are hidden away and nurtured.

For example, the strongest young generation of the Phoenix Clan, and the leaders of the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan. Their younger generation rarely appears in the public eye, but who dares to say that these dominant clans have no outstanding talents emerging?

They have simply transcended the protection of the rules; they themselves have become a set of rules.

Even so, it is enough to show how much the Divine Soul World values ​​and nurtures the younger generation, and how many benefits it bestows upon the top-ranked geniuses.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh, "Are law enforcers really that good?"

Li Yi gave her a strange look: "Okay? Do you know that the people in the top five on the list don't actually need his protection most of the time?"

Lin Zhao remained silent for a moment, then sighed.

That's true. A force that can cultivate the top five on the list is not weak. People strive for that list more for better resources than for protection.

The Zhao family is truly...

Lin Zhao thanked Li Yi, saying, "At least we have a direction now, thank you." Li Yi took the soul coins Lin Zhao offered, weighed them in her hand, and tossed them directly into her soul pouch. Before leaving, she reminded Lin Zhao...

"Now everyone in the Upper Realm knows that Qu Shu has a fiancée. Although her identity and name are unknown, the fact that she is Qu Shu's fiancée means that you will become the target of everyone's criticism. But as far as I know, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will not do anything to you. After all, the one who is most qualified to inherit the position of the current Heavenly Phoenix Clan leader has no interest in men. You should be careful of the others. They are not as easy to talk to as I am."

Li Yi's words were so revealing that Lin Zhao still couldn't process them even after she left.

She pondered for a while and then understood.

Qu Shu did not reveal his identity, and the most qualified person in the Tianhuang Clan who was related to Qu Shu did not care at all whether Qu Shu had a fiancée or not, so others did not need to worry. However, the women from other forces had a lot of opinions about him.

After figuring it out, she looked at Qu Ying, who had been following her and had revealed his relationship with Qu Shu as soon as he saw her: "Since you know about my relationship with Qu Shu, you should also know what I was like before. So how did you recognize me?"

Qu Ying laughed and said, "Naturally, it's because my sister-in-law and I are on the same wavelength, and besides, my sister-in-law herself hasn't denied it."

So, this guy couldn't confirm her identity before?
Lin Zhao sighed, rubbing her forehead, speechless for the first time.

Qu Ying said with a smile, "Of course, it's no use for my sister-in-law to deny it. My brother and I are very close, and I have a way of finding out."

Lin Zhao said, "I'm going back to my original form now. Do you still want to follow me?"

Qu Ying spread his hands, and facing Lin Zhao's rejection, asked in confusion, "I have no ill intentions towards my sister-in-law, why are you rejecting me like this?"

Lin Zhao ignored him and flew away on her sword, while Qu Ying continued to chatter on.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm rushing you, but you must find a way to go to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan within ten years, otherwise my brother and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will really only be able to survive."

After confirming that Lin Zhao had heard him, Qu Ying didn't speak again. Only after Lin Zhao was completely out of sight did he rub his temples and sigh, "When my brother goes crazy, no one can stop him. I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse for my sister-in-law to be targeted."

……

Lin Zhao did not leave the Divine Soul World, but instead met Zhao Huai'an in an area where cultivators of all levels could move around, according to the information on the Heavenly Mirror.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao, Zhao Huai'an sighed and said, "Thank you, young friend. Otherwise, my Zhao family's Heartbeat Stage cultivators wouldn't even have been able to keep those few people alive in the Divine Soul World."

Lin Zhao said, "I will naturally fulfill your request, senior. However, some personal grudges I have may involve the Zhao family."

She was referring not only to offending the Lu family before, but also to her relationship with Qu Shu.

Everyone else now assumes that Zhao Ling'er, the daughter of the Zhao family in Xianlin, who was found, is engaged to Qu Shu.

Zhao Huai'an shook his head: "Young friend, your help to the Zhao family far surpasses what I and the Zhao family can give you. These things are not worth mentioning. During the Zhao family's heyday, we also had some contact with the Tianhuang clan. That clan is not an unreasonable one."

After hearing this from many people, Lin Zhao felt much more at ease.

"Senior, are you aware of the current situation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

Zhao Huai'an frowned and shook his head: "The true Heavenly Phoenix Clan has not appeared before the world for over a hundred years. Those active in various realms are Heavenly Phoenixes. I have overheard that there are no more than ten pure-blooded Heavenly Phoenixes among the younger generation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, while the number of Heavenly Phoenixes exceeds one hundred thousand."

Lin Zhao's pupils contracted. A difference of one in ten thousand?
What exactly happened to the Celestial Phoenix Clan?!
