Chapter 444 The Zhao Family and the Ji Family

Lin Zhao looked at the Zhao family patriarch who had fallen into the courtyard and was about to say something when he heard screams and cries of agony coming from all over the Zhao family compound.

The patriarchs of each family sensed something was wrong and, together with Lin Zhao and the experts from the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, descended upon the Zhao family residence to investigate. What they saw there shocked even the seasoned patriarchs.

Inside the main courtyard of the Zhao family, the Zhao family disciples, dressed in the robes of direct descendants, all opened their blood-red eyes and launched an attack on the normal cultivators of the Zhao family.

Those with stronger cultivation directly suppressed those with weaker cultivation and began to devour them. Even if the weaker demons had their heads broken by the stronger ones, they would still grab and bite passersby.

Within the massive pit smashed open by the Zhao family patriarch, the white bones were faintly visible.

These scenes are simply horrifying.

This wasn't the first time Lin Zhao had witnessed such a scene, but even so, she was still shocked.

"We urge all seniors to immediately take action and eliminate the demon."

Once the elders realized what was happening, they naturally suppressed everything in no time, given their cultivation levels.

Finally, it was the Demon Heart Tribulation that Elder Feng retrieved from the giant pit, which explained everything.

The Ji family patriarch looked at the Zhao family patriarch with disgust in his eyes and said, "The Demon Heart Tribulation has been planted. As long as one's intentions are not virtuous, one will willingly become a puppet of the demon race and become a half-demon. They will carry out the great cause of transformation for the development of the demon race. These direct descendants of the Zhao family have actually been transformed into demons by their own patriarch."

Knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, the Zhao family patriarch burst into laughter: "Ji Zeduan, what right do you have to talk to me? Back then, what the Ji family did to the Lin family was far more than what our Zhao family did. Who told the Lin family to possess the best thing but not have the ability to activate it, yet still forcibly occupy it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao understood why the Zhao family had attacked the Lin family. She exchanged a subtle glance with the Lin family patriarch, who was standing beside her and rarely spoke.

It was actually... for the Nuwa Stone?
"Our Ji family's actions against the Lin family are always open and aboveboard." The Ji family patriarch sneered, "Don't lump our Ji family together with you. Associating with the demon race, you have utterly disgraced the aristocratic families!"

"So what if we ally with the demons?" The Zhao family patriarch smirked. "In the land of aristocratic families, my Zhao family had to pay a huge price to obtain every resource, barely managing to reach a mid-level position. But after cooperating with the demons, in just a few years, even your Ji family had to temporarily avoid the Zhao family's sharp edge."

The other aristocratic patriarchs then realized why the Zhao family had developed so rapidly in recent years.

However, it must be said that the Zhao family patriarch's half-demon body was too advantageous. If it weren't for the curse that brought it out, the Zhao family patriarch could have used this half-demon body that he could control at will to keep it a secret for another hundred years and turn the Zhao family into a complete den of demons!
However, in the Zhao family today, almost all of the direct descendants, except for the younger generation who are studying outside, have been transformed into demons. Those with high cultivation levels who cannot be forcibly transformed into demons are also stunned by their ancestor's crazy actions and are at a loss for words.

"One person's decision has affected the entire family; what a scourge!" the Gong family patriarch said coldly.

The Zhao family patriarch ignored the jeers of the crowd, but raised his eyes, which now showed signs of demonic transformation and were bloodshot, and stared intently at Lin Zhao: "The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, what a wonderful thing. If I had known, I should have used the Ji family to kill you, you bastard, back then, so that your Lin family would never have a chance to rise again."

Having quickly stabilized the situation in the Zhao family, Lin Zhao thought of something and stared at him: "There must be more than one half-demon like you, right?"

The Zhao family patriarch smiled mysteriously: "Who knows? Didn't you lead the people to wipe out the Demon Realm? So, Your Highness Phoenix, can you really say that everything you've done can bring this plane a hundred years without demonic invasions?"

Lin Zhao lowered his eyes and raised his hand: "Take him away. Those members of the Zhao family who have fully fallen into demonic possession, kill them; those who have not fully fallen into demonic possession, lock them up."

It wasn't that Lin Zhao intended to be soft-hearted. Judging from the information given by the Zhao family patriarch, the demons in the Tianhuang Plane were probably not completely eliminated. By killing Tong Que, she had in fact freed these half-demons in a roundabout way, and the situation was still not optimistic.

Before eradicating the demon race, every cultivator in the cultivation world was a warrior capable of slaying demons.

It seems there's another matter to attend to before leaving the Heavenly Phoenix Plane. Lin Zhao rubbed his temples and looked at the Ji family patriarch.

When the Ji family patriarch met Lin Zhao's gaze, he knew that Lin Zhao had come to the Ji family after dealing with the Zhao family.

After a brief moment of thought, the Ji family patriarch said, "It seems you know about that unfilial son and the Ancestral Dragon Plane back then."

Lin Zhao was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised, when the Ji family patriarch did not deny it.

A family that could produce someone with Ji Wantang's personality is probably comprised entirely of people who are not quite normal.

“This matter concerns my Ji family; that wretched child is already dead.”

Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, then felt a sense of absurdity: "He's dead?"

She hadn't even sought revenge before her enemy died?

The Ji family patriarch didn't hide anything: "Yes, Ji Xiao killed him. As for taking your Phoenix Fortune back then, although he was bewitched into mentioning it, it was I who carried it out. If you have any grievances, come at me."

Lin Zhao looked at him for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "Since you said it, you will be in charge of the extermination of half-demons in this region of the Heavenly Phoenix Plane. There will be no reward of any resources."

After speaking, Lin Zhao looked at the Lin family patriarch. The Lin family patriarch knew what Lin Zhao meant, glanced at the Ji family patriarch with a complicated look, and finally shook his head.

No matter how big the conflict is between the Lin family and the Ji family, it can't compare to the conflict between the cultivation world and the demon realm. Besides, the Lin family is going to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane now, so these things can be put aside.

After all, Lin Zhao, as the direct victim of what happened back then, didn't kill the Ji family or their patriarch.

"The reason you've let go of it now is mostly because the Ji family and you need to eliminate the demons, and a small part..." Lin Zhao paused for a moment, then said, "Please give my regards to Ji Wantang. Perhaps we will have another battle in the future."

The Ji family patriarch never expected that this matter would be put aside so easily. He was even prepared for Lin Zhao to use the power of the Ancestral Phoenix to force them to move out of the aristocratic family's territory.

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's words, the Ji family patriarch vaguely saw through the present-day Lin Zhao the little girl he had captured to transfer the Phoenix Fate back then.

Perhaps from that moment on, the failure of the Ji family and Ji Wantang was destined.

Lin Zhao said, "But there's something else I need to ask."

Master Yun understood and immediately set up a soundproof barrier for Lin Zhao and the Ji family patriarch. Lin Zhao asked, "I wonder if Patriarch Ji is aware of the Zhao family's plot to attack the Lin family?"

The Ji family patriarch nodded. If it were before, he would naturally not have been willing to say these things, but now he was somewhat convinced by this junior. "The Nuwa Stone, but no one in your Lin family should know that the thing your strongest member is protecting is the Nuwa Stone. The one who knew about this was killed by the Zhao family before he could tell you."

Sure enough, these aristocratic families had inside information.

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, then took another deep breath: "Protect?"

"Yes, in fact, the eight great families originally existed to protect the Nuwa Stone."
