Chapter 431 Unexpected Changes and Calculations
Lin Zhao didn't know what Tong Que had said, but whatever he said, she felt it wasn't anything nice.

She carefully counted the talismans in her hand and realized that she was still missing a few talismans to rebuild the Heavenly Withering Ancient Array, so she decided to go to the Imperial Prison first.

The scene here was indeed not very pleasant, and the people imprisoned inside were all quite different. As Lin Zhao looked around, he kept taking out talismans from his spatial ring and using the concealment effect to hide them and stick them on the doors of the prisons where the prisoners were held.

"What do you want to do?" asked the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon.

"Whether I can rescue my mother or not, I intend to give the demons of the Demon Realm a big one." Lin Zhao stroked his chin.

"Any spirit talisman master at the Integration stage could see through your concealment talisman."

"Then let's see if they send a Spirit Talisman Master at the Integration Stage."

After confirming that Yao Yun was not in the Imperial Prison, Lin Zhao's madness subsided somewhat, and he regained some of his previous rationality, no longer having the urge to blow the head off a demon just by looking at her.

She returned to her previous room and met up with Jin Ya.

Lin Mang and Ming Gui haven't returned yet.

The next morning, Minggui and Lin Mang, who looked delighted, returned.

Lin Zhao knew her father very well; she could tell from their expressions that they had made a good discovery.

"Dad, do you know where Mom is?"

Lin Mang nodded, but his expression wasn't very good: "The Grand Tutor's residence."

Lin Zhao was surprised to find Yao Yun here. If she remembered correctly, there was only one human woman they had investigated who was sent to the Grand Tutor's mansion, and that was the current wife of the Grand Tutor.

Lin Mang's expression was strange: "Yes, your mother is now the wife of the Grand Tutor."

Lin Zhao found it utterly ridiculous: "A demon dares to force my mother to marry him?"

Minggui sighed, "This Grand Tutor is a human cultivator, and it seems he has a past relationship with the Madam."

Lin Zhao: "..." She didn't dare to say anything now, and cautiously glanced at Lin Mang's face.

Knowing that his wife has been living with a man she had a past relationship with for the past three years under the guise of marriage, regardless of what actually happened, is not a good thing for any man.

Lin Mang caught his daughter's gaze and said with a wry smile, "I'm not going to get angry here. It's good that your mother is in his mansion, otherwise, in this place full of demons, I don't know what kind of torment she would suffer."

Lin Zhao realized something: "That person, Father knows him?"

Lin Mang nodded: "Your mother was my fiancé before we got married."

Lin Zhao: "..." She took a deep breath.

Unexpectedly, a journey to rescue her mother unravels the love and hate entanglements of the previous generation.

Seeing his daughter's expression, Lin Mang knew she had misunderstood. He said helplessly, "Your mother has nothing to do with him. He has a girl he loves. It's just a marriage agreement."

Lin Zhao nodded hurriedly: "I remember that it was Mother who pursued Father first back then?"

Lin Mang: "? How did you know?"

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "My uncle told me."

The Emperor of the Yonghui Empire had told Lin Zhao quite a bit about her parents.

"That's why your father wondered how he became the Grand Tutor of the Demon Clan, and how your mother became his wife."

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment: "Why don't we just go ask my mother?"

Lin Mang shook his head: "Neither Minggui nor I can get in."

After all, although the two of them were disguised, they did not have the kind of talismans and invisibility cloaks that Lin Zhao used to conceal their presence.

So they only got this news after squatting outside the Grand Tutor's mansion for most of the day. Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Then I'll go."

Without hesitation, Lin Zhao went to the Grand Tutor's mansion that very night, wearing a cloak.

She found her mother's address without much trouble, because she could hear Yao Yun cursing from afar.

"Useless! You can't even handle this simple task, what use are you?!"

As Lin Zhao listened, she couldn't help but marvel at how her mother's power hadn't diminished in the past three years.

After her mother went into the room alone, Lin Zhao followed her in.

But when Yao Yun sat down, Lin Zhao couldn't help but turn pale after seeing her face clearly.

Because Yao Yun's originally dark and bright eyes were now tinged with purplish-red.

—She was assimilated into the demon race.

Lin Zhao felt a chill creep up his back, and his whole body was covered in a fine sweat.

She had imagined Yao Yun being captured, tortured, and left on the verge of death, and she had also imagined Yao Yun being manipulated and used as a tool to make things difficult for her.

But she never expected that Yao Yun would be transformed into a demon by them.

The only thing that could offer Lin Zhao some comfort was that the purplish-red color in Yao Yun's eyes wasn't deep, and the demonic energy hadn't penetrated too deeply, indicating that her spiritual energy was still resisting this assimilation.

If the transformation were complete, Lin Zhao couldn't even imagine what he would do. So, the next moment, Lin Zhao didn't care whether he would alert the enemy. He moved and appeared behind Yao Yun. He raised his hand and delivered a swift chop, knocking Yao Yun unconscious and taking her into the Blue Duck Secret Realm.

The moment she reached out to approach Yao Yun, she didn't notice the strange smile on Yao Yun's lips.

When the two arrived at the Blue Duck Secret Realm, Lin Zhao belatedly realized that something was wrong, but she did not let go of Yao Yun in her arms. Instead, she put a pair of silver bracelets on Yao Yun's wrist.

Yao Yun opened her eyes, saw the silver bracelet on her wrist, and no longer concealed her identity: "So clever, the Phoenix Maiden of Destiny."

Lin Zhao increased the distance between herself and the other party: "Demon Lord, how have you been?"

Tong Que tried to use demonic energy to remove his disguise, but no matter how he tried to manipulate it, the demonic energy within his body remained completely unmoved, as if he had become a mortal.

Tong Que's expression finally changed.

"what did you do to me?"

"The Demon-Slaying Twin Silver Rings are designed for demons below the Tribulation Transcending stage. Normally, they would have almost no effect on someone at the Tribulation Transcending stage like you, but who told you to have such a long history of injuries that you haven't recovered yet?"

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Of course, you can also choose to risk your strength to break this magic weapon, but in that case, you will only be able to exert the strength of the Integration Stage for the rest of your life."

The latter option was simply too bad, so Tong Que naturally wouldn't choose it. His gaze was fixed on Lin Zhao: "As expected of the woman I've set my sights on, she's truly capable."

He made almost no attempt to conceal his covetousness and desire; the dark, domineering, and obsessive look in his eyes disgusted Lin Zhao.

"You're already in this state and you're still disgusting me." Lin Zhao was speechless.

"Your mother is in my hands, not in the Grand Tutor's mansion. However, this Grand Tutor is indeed your mother's former lover. Do you really dare to attack me?"

Lin Zhao shrugged: "If anything happens to my mother, I'll drag you and the entire Demon Realm down with me. As for this Grand Tutor, what does he have to do with me?"

She truly hadn't expected Tong Que to value her to this extent, actually setting a trap for her personally. If she hadn't sensed something was off when he brought her in, she would be the one imprisoned now.

Tong Que narrowed his long, narrow eyes: "If you do anything to me, your mother will definitely lose her life."

Lin Zhao forced a smile: "Where is my mother?"

"Come back to the palace with me, become my Demon Queen, and I will naturally release my mother-in-law..."

Before Tong Que could finish speaking, Lin Zhao shot him through the left shoulder: "Why do you have to disgust me like this?"
