Chapter 433 Ambush
Lin Zhao overheard the whole thing and felt that this matter was not easy to handle.

So, this stone was sensed by other stones as well?
Doesn't that mean that this stone can also sense other things?
But what exactly is the purpose of this Nuwa Stone?
Lin Zhao went through the questions one by one in his mind, and finally decided to ask Qu Shu last, and get her mother out first.

As long as her mother is alright, everything else is negotiable.

After learning that the Grand Tutor was an enemy rather than a friend, Lin Zhao found an opportunity to get off the demon chariot and went to the other courtyard again.

But whether it was because he sensed something or because the Grand Tutor was simply a very defensive person, it is unclear.

Since Lin Zhao arrived at the villa, she has never seen the villa's gate open even once.

Except for the time when the Grand Tutor came out.

It was alright not knowing where Yao Yun was before, but now that she knows her mother is in this villa, Lin Zhao finds it hard to calm down and wait for the best opportunity.

After waiting for about three days without the gate of the villa opening, Lin Zhao opened the Heavenly Mirror and discussed the situation in the Demon Realm with Elder Yun and the others. After Elder Yun replied that he was about to go to the Demon Realm, Lin Zhao put away the Heavenly Mirror and returned to the Blue Duck Secret Realm. Looking at Tong Que sitting among a pile of talismans, he said, "How do I open the villa where you imprisoned my mother?"

Tong Que dared not provoke Lin Zhao, but it was impossible for him to obediently listen to a little girl.

He twitched his lips and shook his head: "That place will only be opened when the Venerable One and the Grand Tutor himself are present."

Lin Zhao said, "Do you really want to die?"

“If you kill me, the Grand Tutor will immediately sense it, and your mother won’t escape either.”

Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes: "You trust a human so much? You even know about the Nuwa Stone?"

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he stared intently at the other person's reaction, but Tong Que showed no unusual reaction: "Nuwa Stone? What is that?"

Lin Zhao wasn't sure if the other person was faking it or if the Grand Tutor really hadn't told him.

"It's laughable that demons are cooperating with humans."

Tong Que said, "If you were gentler, you, as a human, could also be the Empress of my Demon Realm."

Lin Zhao: "..." Why would I give up being the Empress of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane to become this worthless Empress?

He's got a hole in his head.

Lin Zhao ignored him: "What do you have that can prove it's you?"

Tong Que laughed and said, "What, you want to disguise yourself as the real me and go in? I advise you to give up that idea because that courtyard can recognize my soul."

This point is also blocked.

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue, then simply picked Tong Que up, searched his spatial ring, and found a cloak to cover him.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Zhao pressed down on his shoulder: "Since it's for recognizing souls, I'll trouble the Demon Lord to take me inside."

She reappeared with Tong Que in the corner where they had disappeared before. The Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear in her hand shrank, and she held it in her palm against Tong Que's waist. As if she did not feel the danger that suddenly rose around the courtyard and the dangerous aura around her, she coldly reminded him: "Your Majesty, please cooperate."

A flash of bloodlust crossed Tong Que's eyes, but he said nothing, only giving a wink to the two demon generals guarding the gate of the detached courtyard.

Upon seeing this, the two demon generals immediately bowed and opened the door.

Lin Zhao followed behind Tong Que. As they entered the courtyard, the silver ring on Tong Que's hand shattered the moment the courtyard gate slowly closed. Lin Zhao also realized that he had lost contact with the Blue Duck Secret Realm.

“I already knew from previous reports that you had a place similar to a personal space, so the formation here was specifically designed to counter that ability.” Tong Que cracked his knuckles, his eyes once again revealing undisguised aggression: “Lin Zhao, surrender now, and I’ll consider taking you in as a concubine.” Lin Zhao scoffed: “You think you’re worthy?”

Hundreds and thousands of demon generals surged in from all directions, each with a cultivation level of at least the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Zhao said, "You don't think I've been here near this villa for the past three days just to wait, do you?"

After Tong Que clearly saw what Lin Zhao was holding, he asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think you can do anything with just a talisman pen? Creating talismans from the ground is the skill of a true immortal talisman master."

Lin Zhao didn't bother arguing with him any further. As the Nascent Soul stage demon generals drew closer to him, the Heavenly Punishment Brush began to inscribe a spirit array in the air.

That was just a simple rune.

This rune actually has only one meaning.

--wake

Tong Que was not a spirit talisman master, so he didn't understand what Lin Zhao was doing. But soon, the tremors coming from all directions made him understand what Lin Zhao was doing.

"Even if you paste those copies all over this courtyard, you still can't destroy the defensive formation here!"

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors throughout the entire courtyard, Tong Que, his face grim, coldly spoke, then reached out to grab Lin Zhao.

However, all he managed to grasp was a glimmer of light and shadow.

—This is Lin Zhao's afterimage.

So what about the real Lin Zhao?
Tong Que looked closely and saw that all that remained on the scene were a group of demon generals being pushed and jostled by the turbulent spiritual energy caused by the bombardment of the talismans.

Ordinary earthquakes and tremors would not be able to harm a Nascent Soul stage demon, but the reason for this earthquake and tremor was the suppression of a Divine Transformation stage talisman.

This really made things difficult for these demon generals.

Even Tong Que himself was somewhat affected.

The lingering injuries from forcibly breaking the Demon-Locking Ring were already making him uncomfortable, and now that Lin Zhao had slipped away right under his nose, he was even more furious.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings! Find him! Find Lin Zhao for me, or none of you will leave here alive!"

The demon generals had barely managed to regain their footing when they heard this, and could only wistfully accept their orders and begin searching for Lin Zhao.

"She must have been impersonating one of you. The remaining two-thirds of you will come with me to the place where that woman is being held. I refuse to believe she can abandon her own mother!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhao, disguised as a demon general and hidden in the crowd, couldn't help but give Tong Que a thumbs up. She was just worried about how to find Yao Yun, and then someone delivered a pillow to her just when she was about to fall asleep.

So she secretly squeezed into the group of two-thirds who were following Tong Que, and followed Tong Que through countless hidden doors until they arrived at a dark basement.

Lin Zhao looked around at her surroundings, gritted her teeth, and then heard Tong Que's sinister voice from ahead: "Lin Zhao, I know you're among this group of people. Come out now, and I might spare your life and your mother's. Then you and your mother will be my concubines, and your mother will become the Grand Tutor's wife. The entire Heavenly Phoenix Plane will belong to you and your mother. Isn't that good?"

Lin Zhao: "..."

Honestly, if she weren't afraid of being exposed, she would have rolled her eyes.

She simply pretended to be deaf and didn't hear the explosive statement.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Lin Zhao, Tong Que flicked his long sleeves and said, "Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. I hope you won't regret it when you see your mother!"
