After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 443 Minggui Makes a Move
When they arrived at the aristocratic family's territory, it was already noon. The First Elder looked at the somewhat familiar scenery around him and sighed, "The Lin family was driven out of here at noon back then too."

Looking back now, the Lin family's decline and rise seem like they happened just yesterday.

A few moments after Lin Zhao and several powerful figures from the Ancestral Phoenix Plane arrived above the Aristocratic Family Land, the figures of several elders slowly emerged above the Aristocratic Family Land.

The two elders at the head of the group concealed their auras. Elder Yun commented, "They are half-step into the Tribulation Realm. This aristocratic family is indeed quite capable."

The ancestors of these two families were also prominent figures, having cultivated to such a level in the Heavenly Phoenix Continent.

Lin Zhao's gaze swept over the white-robed elder, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the brown-robed elder beside the white-robed elder, whose figure seemed somewhat unsteady, and asked, "Ancestor Zhao, how did you fare when the demons inflicted the demonic heart tribulation on you back then?"

The Zhao family patriarch did not expect Lin Zhao to bring people here and attack him without saying a word.

Originally intending to observe the situation, the Zhao family patriarch glanced warily at the True Immortals beside Lin Zhao, lowered his eyelids, and said righteously, "Patriarch Lin, please be careful with your words. My Zhao family has been fighting demons and protecting the righteous path for many years and has no connection with the demon race. If Patriarch Lin harbors resentment because my Zhao family strongly advocated for driving the Lin family out of the aristocratic lands, and tries to use this to coerce my Zhao family with the power of other continents, I think not only my Zhao family will disagree, but the other aristocratic families in the aristocratic lands will also not sit idly by."

He spoke in a grand and dignified manner, and even brought up other prominent families.

However, to his surprise, the Gong family patriarch, who was always concerned about his reputation, was the first to speak.

"No, please don't drag our Gong family into this. Back then, our Gong family didn't support driving the Lin family out of the aristocratic lands. I said then that there must be something fishy about the Lin family's experts being wiped out on the demon battlefield in such a short time. It was your Zhao and Ji families who insisted on driving the Lin family out, it has nothing to do with my Gong family. Old Zhao, don't be so shameless as to drag our families into this. So what if the Lin family head is here today to seek revenge? In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Didn't you also rely on your strength to disregard the rules and morality and drive the Lin family out back then?"

After saying that, the patriarch of the Gong family gave Lin Zhao a friendly smile: "Patriarch Lin, I am the grandfather of that girl Gong Jue."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao recalled the senior student from the South China Sea Academy who had taken good care of him, and his feelings for the old man in front of him immediately improved. He then nodded to the patriarch of the Gong family.

Upon seeing this, the Zhao family patriarch's face turned ashen with anger. After exchanging glances, the other aristocratic family patriarchs were left with nothing but the Xiang family, who finally stepped forward again and stood with the Gong family.

Before the Lin family declined, the Gong and Xiang families were the closest to the Lin family. The Xiang family also disagreed with the Lin family's relocation. However, the Gong and Xiang families had always been in the middle to lower ranks, or even at the bottom, of the eight great families, so these two families did not have much say.

Especially after the decline of the Lin family, these two aristocratic families also had a difficult time in the aristocratic lands for a period of time.

Back then, they were willing to provide some assistance to the Lin family, and in recent years, these two families have been the first to help the Lin family develop.

Lin Zhao nodded to the patriarch of the Xiang family, and then looked at the patriarchs of the remaining five great families.

The Ji family patriarch had other matters to attend to, so Lin Zhao didn't directly target him. Instead, he looked at the Zhao family patriarch, who remained the most defiant.

"The Zhao family fought against evil and upheld justice, and my Lin family harbors resentment?"

Lin Zhao pondered the meaning of those words for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. He took out a scroll from his spatial ring and asked, "Please take a look, everyone. What is this?"

The Zhao family patriarch turned pale the moment he saw the scroll. When the Ji family patriarch saw the scroll, his eyelids trembled slightly, but when he thought that the only connection between the Ji family and the Ancestral Dragon Plane was that the rebellious son was dead, he calmed down.

With their keen eyesight, the other aristocratic patriarchs naturally saw the handwriting of the Zhao family patriarch and the date recorded on the scroll.

It contained all the information about the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lin family back then, as well as their battle locations.

"So the reason why several Nascent Soul and Integration stage elders perished back then was because of an internal traitor." The Gong family patriarch mocked sarcastically. "I was saying that back then, your Zhao family was so convinced that the Lin family was weak and wanted to drive them away, just in case the aristocratic families investigated this matter thoroughly."

The Zhao family patriarch was furious and couldn't help but curse, "You're talking nonsense! Don't try to smear our Zhao family just to curry favor with the Lin family!" The Gong family patriarch sneered.

However, the patriarchs of these powerful families weren't fools; the reaction of the Zhao family patriarch spoke volumes.

However, the statement made by the Gong family patriarch is also problematic. The recipient of this scroll is someone from the Ancestral Dragon Plane. Theoretically speaking, if Lin Zhao had not brought a True Immortal from the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, or even an elder of the level above True Immortal, this scroll would never have ended up in Lin Zhao's hands intact.

Without this scroll, who would believe that the Zhao family would conspire with outsiders to harm the Lin family?
There's no reason for this!

Unlike the Ji family, the Zhao family has never been on good terms with the Lin family.

"Still being stubborn? When you were trading with the demons, Tong Que's suspicious and cautious nature led to you being subjected to a demonic tribulation."

As the Zhao family patriarch watched Lin Zhaochao walk towards him, he couldn't help but take two steps back.

After taking two steps back, his old face immediately turned bright red.

To be forced to this extent by a mere junior in the Nascent Soul stage, a dignified half-step Tribulation Transcending Realm expert, is an utter disgrace!
But he only dared to glare fiercely at Lin Zhao.

Because the four powerful figures from the Ancestral Phoenix Realm who were standing behind Lin Zhao were not just standing there. The Zhao family patriarch had no doubt that if he dared to lay a finger on Lin Zhao, these powerful figures could destroy their Zhao family's ancestral graves.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that when you made your deal with the Demon Lord, the Demon Heart Tribulation he placed on you will be activated by me? Or do you think that as a cultivator, I am powerless to deal with the Demon Heart Tribulation within you, which only demons can activate, otherwise you will fall into demonic possession?"

Upon hearing this, the Zhao family patriarch finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Now, he was indeed gambling; he could only bet that Lin Zhao was bluffing him.

"Enough! Patriarch Lin, you have repeatedly used your power to bully my Zhao family. You claim that the letters on this scroll are my notes and that I conspired with the Ancestral Dragon Plane of the Demon Clan to harm your Lin family. Please produce evidence that everyone can believe! If there is no evidence, the affairs of my Heavenly Phoenix Plane are managed by the Three Venerables. It is not up to the people of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane to swagger around here!"

After Lin Zhao stopped, she looked at him with a mocking gaze: "Do you think the three Venerables of the Lin family didn't know that the Lin family had arrived here?"

The Zhao family patriarch clenched his fist.

"Produce the evidence!"

“Minggui, give him the evidence.”

In response to Lin Zhao's words, a colossal black dragon appeared in the world. Its eyes were heterochromatic, one golden and the other blood-red. It simply extended its dragon claws toward the direction of the Zhao family patriarch, and the demonic energy and incantations emanating from the dragon claws activated the tribulations within the Zhao family patriarch's body.

Now, the Zhao family patriarch, filled with pain and utter disbelief, plummeted straight down from the clouds into the Zhao family mansion.

The other aristocratic patriarchs also looked at the black dragon summoned by Lin Zhao with surprise and uncertainty.

Even the patriarch of the Gong family couldn't hold back at this moment.

"A demonic dragon?"
