Chapter 531 Four Against One
Lin Zhao was stunned by these words. After glancing at Ning Wengui, he could only change his self-reference and say, "The leader's words are really too kind to Lin Zhao. I'm afraid no one could make the Purple-Eyed Glazed Body a concubine."
"As for Lin Zhao, we'll consider these things once things are settled at home."
At least for now, with his elder brother still missing and the Ancestral Phoenix still in turmoil, Lin Zhao had no time to think about such matters.
Moreover, Qu Shu mentioned that Youli's star trail was being connected to some people...
You may not believe this claim, but you should still be wary of it.
Lin Zhao looked at Ning Wengui for a while, then thought of something: "I wonder what the leader's attitude is towards the war between the dynasties a few months from now?"
Ning Wengui said, "The Immortal Sect cannot give a clear answer, but since Master is allied with the Black Lord, if the Black Lord is willing to help the Great Qin Dynasty, there will naturally be no problem."
This was already the answer. Lin Zhao smiled gratefully, but when she met the leader's gossipy gaze, her scalp tingled instantly: "Thank you for your kindness, leader."
After speaking, Lin Zhao paused for a moment: "If the leader needs any help from the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor in the future, he can contact him through the Heavenly Mirror."
She took out the Heavenly Mirror, exchanged the Heavenly Mirror with the leader, and then took her leave.
Watching Lin Zhao's retreating figure, the leader turned to his disciple and said, "Your master has been thinking of you for so many years, you must have been in love with me. But it turns out you're just having a one-sided love."
Ning Wengui remained silent.
The leader sighed helplessly: "The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor is blessed with profound divine grace. What I just said was a reminder to you. You appear gentle and mild-mannered, but in reality, you are proud and arrogant. Can you truly accept being with others..."
Ning Wengui shook his head: "I thought about this problem when I came here. If I couldn't accept it, I wouldn't have asked my master to bring me here."
The leader then stopped asking questions: "Then keep up the good work. The husband of the Ancestral Phoenix in ancient times was no ordinary person either."
……
Lin Zhao and Hei Zhu communicated much faster. Both of them understood each other's purpose. Hei Zhu was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Lin Zhao presented the benefits he wanted, and after a brief deliberation, Hei Zhu readily agreed to Lin Zhao's request.
Of course, Lin Zhao also understood that the Black Lord's straightforwardness was partly due to factors such as Xuan Cang.
However, this trip to Black Dragon City went much more smoothly than she had imagined. She had thought that she would have to fight a fierce battle to end all of this.
When she left Black Dragon City, there was still some time before her leave was due. Lin Zhao hadn't decided where to go when she saw the message on the Heavenly Mirror.
Approaching the leader again, Lin Zhao asked curiously, "The leader said the tomb complex suitable for Nascent Soul and Integration cultivators to explore is about to be opened?"
The leader nodded. "I just received the news myself, but compared to other cultivators, I'm quite quick to receive information. But as expected, if this were only suitable for ordinary Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators, His Majesty wouldn't have been allowed to return. This time, the tomb that has been opened is the most dangerous in recent years. Therefore, only the direct descendants of the Five Lords of the Ancestral Dragon are allowed to explore it. The number of slots for the Five Lords' forces is also limited, with ten slots for each person."
Lin Zhao said, "So the disciples of the immortal sects also know? If the leader gives me one of the spots, what if..."
The leader laughed and said, "That's exactly the problem, which is why you and Wen Gui need to go to the Immortal Sect and subdue those gossips."
As the leader, she certainly had the right to directly allocate a spot to Lin Zhao, who was not from an immortal sect. However, this was ultimately a resource of the immortal sect, and the leader still needed to give these disciples an explanation.
"I will tell them that this trip to the ancient tomb is extremely dangerous, and I need an absolutely powerful leader before I can feel at ease sending my disciples in. As for what comes after, I will leave it to Your Majesty."
Clearly, Lin Zhao needed to demonstrate his abilities to deliver this explanation. Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao expressed his gratitude.
The leader waved his hand: "Helping His Majesty is also to help the cultivation world better overcome future calamities."
Although she is old and has not been promoted, her insight over the years is still exceptional.
Because the leader had given him a heads-up beforehand, Lin Zhao was able to guess the opinions of the immortal sect disciples about him.
However, when she followed the leader on a spirit boat through a spatial array to the gathering place of the immortal sect disciples, she was still shocked to see hundreds of Nascent Soul stage cultivators standing together in the square demanding an explanation.
Seeing Lin Zhao's shock, the leader coughed and said, "If it were cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage who were demanding an explanation from me, I wouldn't necessarily give them one. But these Nascent Soul stage cultivators are the backbone of my immortal sect, and I cannot let them down."
Lin Zhao could understand. After landing with the leader, he stepped forward, meeting the hostile gazes of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
"You're the Nascent Soul stage cultivator that the Lord wanted to send directly into the tomb complex?"
Among the hundreds of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, there was clearly a hierarchy. Directly in front of Lin Zhao were three men and one woman. Lin Zhao roughly sensed that these four people had the deepest spiritual energy foundation and the highest cultivation level among the hundreds of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
"it's me."
Among the four, the young man in the middle was clearly the leader. At this moment, he looked at Lin Zhao with extreme hostility. Because of the difference in cultivation level, he could naturally sense that Lin Zhao's cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Integration Realm.
This made him somewhat resentful, but he felt it would be beneath him to say even a few words to someone at the early stage of the Integration Realm. So the young man looked directly at the leader: "My lord, if the woman you brought back were a highly skilled Integration Realm cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, I wouldn't say anything. But the message you conveyed was clearly that the Integration Realm cultivator you planted was powerful enough to protect our sect's Nascent Soul and Integration Realm cultivators on their journey to the tomb!"
The leader laughed and said, "That's true."
This statement was practically tantamount to blatant lying in the eyes of most people.
The young man clenched his fists, his gaze towards Lin Zhao filled with hatred, wishing he could kill him as soon as possible. "We don't see anything wrong with Junior Brother Wen Gui taking a spot with his early Nascent Soul stage strength because of his Purple Eye Glazed Body, but what right does this woman have?!"
In the world of cultivation, opportunities are not so easy to come by. Especially such great opportunities that are rare for those who have reached the Nascent Soul or Body Integration stages. If you miss this one, who knows how many thousands of years it will take to get another chance like this.
There are only ten such opportunities in the entire sect, why should they be given to an outsider?
"If this woman's cultivation level could truly convince us, then so be it; we could tolerate it for the sake of the immortal sect's future. But a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, hmph!"
The young man wasn't stupid. If he just expressed his dissatisfaction, he could easily offend the leader and get involved in the matter of the entire immortal sect. Even if the leader wanted to investigate later, he couldn't openly make things difficult for him.
The leader laughed and asked, "So, what are your plans?"
The woman next to the young man smiled and said, "Since the leader admires this Miss Lin so much, we are not ignorant disciples who would do something like ganging up on the weak. But since the leader has high hopes for Miss Lin, she must have extraordinary abilities. So, how about Miss Lin fights the four of us?"
If they can't do it, they'll use numbers to bully the few, four against one.
Lin Zhao: "..."
Fine, in the end, she took up one of the immortal sect's spots.
Amidst the provocative or disdainful gazes of the other disciples of the Immortal Sect, Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Alright."
