Chapter 448

All three Venerables have agreed to this matter, and it will be announced to the Heavenly Phoenix Plane soon.

After giving the prepared gifts to Xiao Changqing's direct disciples and his fellow disciples who had taken good care of him in the past, Lin Zhao prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard a voice behind her.

The voice sounded familiar, and Lin Zhao turned around to look.

It was the original Yunding Peak disciple who she had entrusted to come to the peak where Xiao Changqing was located.

"Senior Sister." Hundreds of disciples gathered together and bowed to her, saying, "Respectfully seeing off Senior Sister."

Lin Zhao looked at them for a while, and memories of Cloud Peak flashed through his mind. These familiar or unfamiliar faces had appeared in those not-so-happy memories.

Even when she was at her lowest point, her disciples never took advantage of her misfortune.

Lin Zhao didn't believe that the evil thoughts from another world hadn't affected them, but they still hadn't done anything to her.

Before she left, she said, "I have already spoken with the sect leader of the Nanyin Sect. He will accept all the disciples who were formerly part of Yunding Peak and whose cultivation is sufficient as inner disciples of the Nanyin Sect. What happens after that depends on your own fate."

Because they were affected but never persecuted her, Lin Zhao was willing to give them this blessing.

When Lin Zhao left Cloud Peak and arrived at the last place she wanted to see in the Heavenly Phoenix Plane, she was stunned.

However, because of the information she provided on the Heavenly Mirror, the Yonghui Empire quickly sent people to welcome her.

Looking at the imperial city before him, which was many times more prosperous than he remembered, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask the young general who came out to greet him, "Is this really the Yonghui Imperial City?"

The scale here is comparable to some large cities in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane!

The young general nodded, a hint of pride in his voice: "Yes, thanks to the support of the Lin family and the Three Venerables over the past three years, Yonghui has annexed Holy Light. In addition, with the Youlan Empire previously handed over to Yonghui, the Yonghui Empire is now the largest empire on the Tianhuang Continent. Only the Changye Empire in the southeast corner remains. However, the Changye Empire recently sent a letter of surrender, willing to be incorporated into Yonghui's territory. From now on, the Tianhuang Continent will only have the Yonghui Empire."

But as he said this with such pride, he also understood even more clearly that the current glory of the Yonghui Empire was all thanks to the girl beside him.

Whether it was the support of the Three Venerables, the good intentions of the Lin family, or the entrustment of the Youlan Empire, all were directly or indirectly influenced by Lin Zhao.

This even includes Changye, who surrendered some time ago.

For three years, he refused to bow down to the increasingly powerful Yonghui. After learning that Lin Zhao had slaughtered the Demon Realm and killed Yunding, he wrote a letter of surrender within three days.

Lin Zhao was also somewhat moved upon hearing this.

There is only one empire on a continent, an achievement that only Ji Weiyang, the ancestor of the Ji family, could attain.

However, the Yonghui Empire of today is still far inferior to the Weiyang Empire of yesteryear.

The Weiyang Empire of yesteryear was a power capable of rivaling the Three Sovereigns.

However, for reasons unknown, the Ji family declined for a long time before reappearing as a prominent family.

However, everyone knows that the Ji family today is not the descendant of Empress Weiyang, but merely a descendant of Empress Weiyang's clan.

The reason why the Weiyang Empire, which was once at its peak, disappeared was also related to the fact that Empress Weiyang had no heir.

Lin Zhao followed the other party to the palace, and upon seeing the middle-aged man sitting on the throne, she bowed to him and said, "Uncle."

Emperor Yonghui quickly stood up: "Look at you, you're the head of the family now, and you're still doing these things. I didn't see you being this polite to your uncle when you were a niece back then."

Lin Zhao blinked: "That's different. Back then, Lin Zhao was the young master of the Lin family, and my uncle was just an emperor of one of the four great empires. Now my uncle is the only emperor of the empire, so of course I, the head of a small family, have to curry favor with him."

Emperor Yonghui, who had initially felt some awe and restraint because of his niece's current high status and power, had these words completely dispelled his apprehension. He couldn't help but slap her on the shoulder: "Alright, you're always being cheeky with your uncle! Niannian has been waiting for you." Lin Zhao looked at the little girl who had entered through the main gate and couldn't help but reach out and hug her tightly.

"Now that you belong to the Crown Princess, you still have no shame," Emperor Yonghui sneered coolly.

Yao Nian snorted: "If you say that again, I'll go to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane with the Lin family and give up being the Crown Princess, isn't that right, Sister Zhao Zhao?"

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "Alright, Niannian, you've gone to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane. Your cousin will make you a princess."

Upon hearing this, Yao Nian looked at her father with longing.

Emperor Yonghui quickly pulled the girl over.

This girl is the most talented, strong, and virtuous among Yonghui's lineage. She was his chosen successor long ago. If she's really taken away, he'll have nowhere to cry.

He was genuinely afraid that the little girl would really leave, since everyone knew that the princess of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane was far more capable than the Crown Princess of the Eternal Glory Empire.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao gave Yao Nian a helpless look.

Yao Nian didn't really want to leave; she was just betting on her own father mocking her.

Emperor Yonghui and Empress arrived at this time. Lin Zhao looked at her, stood up, and smiled, "Aunt."

Empress Yonghui smiled at Emperor Yonghui and said, "Look, I told you Zhaozhao is growing more and more beautiful. Some people even said that she was pretty when she was young, but she might not be as pretty when she grows up."

Emperor Yonghui coughed and glared at her: "You're so good at talking."

After looking at Lin Zhao for a while and asking about her past, Emperor Yonghui sighed, "You've had a tough time all these years."

Lin Zhao smiled slightly, "It's all in the past."

Empress Yonghui thought for a moment, then paused: "Zhao Zhao is almost twenty years old now. I wonder if she has anyone she likes by her side?"

Lin Zhao's teacup, which she had just picked up, froze at her lips; she didn't know whether to drink it or not.

When Emperor Yonghui and Empress saw this scene, they knew what was going on.

Ever since Lin Zhao's two engagements turned out to be unreliable, her sister-in-law has expressed that her daughter could remain unmarried. As for the head of the Lin family, he is someone who lets his wife make all the decisions, so he probably won't consider these things for Lin Zhao. But someone has to bring it up.

Empress Yonghui succinctly expressed her meaning: "Aunt has no other intention. Now that you have cultivated so much, it is good for you to venture out into the world. But if you can leave a legacy for the Lin family, that would be even better. As for other things, as long as it is between you and me, cultivators do not need to care about these things."

Lin Zhao understood, and she looked at Emperor Yonghui with a hint of admiration.

"Lin Zhao will consider this matter later."

After chatting about everyday things for a while, Lin Zhao checked the time and politely declined the three people's invitation to stay.

After explaining the matters of the Demon Realm to Emperor Shenghui, Lin Zhao left right on time.

Upon learning that there might be multiple half-demons in the Heavenly Phoenix Plane, Emperor Shenghui immediately ordered people to forge a Demon-Illuminating Mirror according to the blueprints provided by Lin Zhao, to screen them layer by layer.

As for other places, they are naturally guarded by personnel dispatched by the Three Venerables and other sects.

Furthermore, the Ji family, the most prestigious family in the land, unconditionally eliminates monsters for free without charging any resources.

Now that they have obtained all the resources left by the Lin family in the Tianhuang Plane, they have become the second and third most powerful families. The Gong family and the Xiang family, which are also the third most powerful families, have invited their patriarchs to oversee this demon-slaying campaign.

For a time, the Heavenly Phoenix Plane was free of the sounds of demons, becoming the most stable plane in the lower realm.
