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

Chapter 552 Prove your innocence
The emperor's words made Lin Zhao's heart sink.

After all, the Yin-Yang Pearl was indeed a celestial artifact cultivated by the Emperor himself, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were any connection between the Emperor and the Yin-Yang Pearl.

Moreover, the Emperor is a powerhouse beyond the True Immortal level, on the same level as the White Crane Elder. Lin Zhao really dared not say whether such a person might have something he didn't know about.

Under the Emperor's increasingly sharp gaze, Lin Zhao stepped forward: "It seems that if Lin Zhao does not prove her innocence today, His Majesty will not let this go."

The Emperor could certainly sense that Lin Zhao's words were putting him in the spotlight. After all, the disciples from the four teams were all extremely exhausted. These disciples represented the other four of the five masters of the Ancestral Dragon. By preventing them from leaving, he was undoubtedly disrespecting the other four masters.

Even so, the emperor remained unfazed, even looking at Lin Zhao with a mocking expression.

Being afraid of offending others is a thought only the weak have. With his strength and the importance of the Yin-Yang Pearl, what difference does it make if he offends not only the disciples of the Five Lords of Ancestral Dragon, but also the Five Lords of Ancestral Dragon?
Once it can be confirmed that Lin Zhao stole the Yin-Yang Pearl, he can naturally use this legitimate reason to take Lin Zhao away. At that time, the Yin-Yang Pearl will also be returned, and taking Lin Zhao to obtain her primordial yin can make up for the personnel losses this time.

"As long as Miss Lin Zhao is innocent."

The leader spoke up, "I wonder what Your Majesty intends to do to prove my young friend's innocence?"

Since the Emperor had spoken to this extent, they couldn't possibly refuse to give him face. However, if the Emperor wanted to forcefully frame Lin Zhao in front of her, that was simply wishful thinking.

The emperor knew that with the leader present, he couldn't simply label Lin Zhao regardless of the outcome, but since the leader had said so, he must have his own methods.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, another Yin-Yang Bead appeared in the Emperor's palm.

"The Yin-Yang Pearls are originally two pearls, mutually influencing each other's Yin and Yang, harmonizing with one another." The Emperor slowly said amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, his deep and oppressive gaze pressing down on Lin Zhao, adopting the demeanor of an elder: "Now that Miss Lin Zhao has admitted it, I will cherish your talent and spare some of your cultivation, considering that you have achieved such a level of cultivation at such a young age."

Lin Zhao scoffed, "The innocent are innocent, why should His Majesty cherish their talents?"

The emperor shook his head, his face showing magnanimity that he wouldn't hold a grudge against a junior like her. Then, he flicked out the Yin-Yang Pearl and shot it toward Lin Zhao.

"If Lin Zhao possesses the Yin-Yang Pearl, my Yin-Yang Pearl will surely be able to draw out its aura! Even if Lin Zhao uses some means to hide or suppress it, the connection between the Yin-Yang Pearls will not disappear!"

When Lin Zhao saw the Yin-Yang Pearl, she cursed the Emperor a million times in her heart, but at this point, she couldn't possibly go along with what the Emperor said. If she admitted that the Yin-Yang Pearl was on her, she would be taking all the blame the Emperor had previously made. If it only involved her, it would be fine, but she was now part of the Immortal Sect team, and she couldn't let the Immortal Sect members suffer the same fate.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Zhao came up with a solution.

When the Yin-Yang Pearl enveloped her, Lin Zhao indeed felt the Yin-Yang Pearl in the Qiankun Bag constantly pulsating.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang Pearl above her seemed to sense something and began to rotate around Lin Zhao, a sight that made the Emperor's eyes light up.

The Black Lord and the Chief exchanged a glance, both with worry in their eyes. The difference was that the Chief was already thinking about how to escape with Lin Zhao and his disciples, while the Black Lord looked at the Heavenly Lord and the Flood Dragon Lord.

The two met Kuro's gaze and gave him a helpless look.

Kuro twitched his lips and stopped moving.

However, a scene that left everyone speechless appeared: the Yin-Yang Bead just kept circling around Lin Zhao, without attracting any Yin-Yang energy from him.

"This is impossible!"

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor stood up: "The Yin-Yang Pearl clearly sensed everything, how could it not attract anything? What methods did you use?!"

Lin Zhao was already exhausted from suppressing the Yin-Yang Pearl in the Qiankun Bag. Hearing the Emperor's words, he sneered: "This junior would like to ask, why does the Yin-Yang Pearl circle around me when it sees me, even though it can't attract anything? Even if Your Majesty wants to smear me, you shouldn't be so obvious!"

She even turned the tables on me?

The Emperor was nearly driven mad by Lin Zhao's behavior, but even after so much time had passed, the Yin-Yang Pearl had failed to summon any energy, clearly proving Lin Zhao's innocence to everyone else. However, that was from everyone else's perspective; to the Emperor, the Yin-Yang Pearl's unusual activity indicated that something was amiss with Lin Zhao!
But how come we can't attract any scent at all?

How could Lin Zhao, who is merely at the Integration Stage, possess the ability to shield himself from the aura of a celestial artifact?

The leader breathed a sigh of relief, his tone becoming impatient: "Brother Huang, if there's nothing else, we'll take our disciples and leave."

God also spoke up to smooth things over: "Brother Huang Zhou, you've already checked, now we should go back and rest."

The Emperor retrieved his Yin-Yang Pearl, still looking at Lin Zhao with resentment, and said, "Lin Zhao, the two Yin-Yang Pearls have always been in sync. You'd better never take this Yin-Yang Pearl out again, or I will make you wish you were dead."

Lin Zhao shrugged, meeting the Emperor's threatening gaze, and laughed, "Lin Zhao doesn't have the Yin-Yang Pearl, so why would I take it out?"

The emperor flicked his long sleeves and led the people of the dynasty away.

After Lin Zhao followed the people from the Immortal Sect onto the sect's spirit ship, the leader led her to his resting room and asked, "Where is the Yin-Yang Pearl?"

Lin Zhao's lips twitched, and then he finally stopped suppressing the aura of the Yin-Yang Pearl and released it from his Qiankun bag.

"How did you conceal its presence?"

Lin Zhao summoned the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear: "Suppress it with the aura of my natal weapon."

However, just activating the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear to suppress the Yin-Yang Pearl, a celestial artifact, had already consumed a considerable amount of her spiritual power.

The leader's gaze swept over the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear: "It can suppress immortal artifacts... Fortunately, not many people can recognize this weapon."

Lin Zhao chuckled lightly, offering no further explanation regarding the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear's ability to freely change form, and said, "Senior, this Yin-Yang Pearl..."

The leader looked at the Yin-Yang Bead for a while: "This is indeed a good thing, but for us, it only serves to enhance our abilities and put pressure on the enemy. Moreover, it can only be used by people who cultivate Yin-Yang spiritual energy to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Yin-Yang spiritual energy?

A thought flashed through Lin Zhao's mind: "Can the owner of the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl do this?"

The leader was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Zhao as if he were a monster: "You know the owner of the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "We're friends."

"Your luck is incredible... Not only do you know about the Purple Eye Glazed Body, but you also know about the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl. You've witnessed two of the seven ancient physiques that are destined to become saints."

Lin Zhao asked in surprise, "The Seven Greats?"

"These are all physiques that haven't appeared for ten thousand years. However, among these seven physiques, the Purple Eye Glazed Physique and the Ice Soul Yin-Yang Pearl are among the best. This Yin-Yang Pearl is perfect for the owner of the Ice Soul Yin-Yang Pearl. Moreover, in his hands, this Yin-Yang Pearl might have some other effects. I wonder what kind of expression that old bastard, the Emperor, would have if he knew that his Yin-Yang Pearl ended up being given to the Ice Soul Yin-Yang Pearl."

After saying that, the leader left a restriction on the Yin-Yang Pearl: "However, it's best to take this out as little as possible before you hand it over to your friend. I've set a restriction on it. With this restriction, the Emperor won't be able to sense its existence for the next three years."

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhao quickly thanked him and then inquired about Ning Wengui's situation.

The leader waved his hand, "If he's not dead, he's fine. He just lost a little blood and will recover in time. However, something has been added to his body, which has made his previous instability on his spiritual platform much more stable."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao knew that his original essence blood had not had any adverse effects on Ning Wengui. He breathed a sigh of relief, and after restoring himself to his best condition on the spirit boat, he bid farewell to the leader.
