Chapter 558 I'll Go Fight
His temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast. When it was time for meals in the military camp, Lin Zhao saw You Shen fighting with a group of soldiers for food, and turned to find Feng Chenlan.
Feng Chenlan's answer to her was that this was the young man's personality all along; he had just been raised incorrectly before.
Seeing Feng Chenlan's nonchalant expression, Lin Zhao took a deep breath and decided to just ignore it.
"By the way, the prince from our Western District Legion has also come out." Although Feng Chenlan felt that Zhao Lin, who was only at the Enlightenment stage, shouldn't know these things, he still valued Lin Zhao more because of his wife and that kid You Shen.
"It's the Third Prince who was just brought back a few days ago. The Third Prince has the support of the Immortal Sect and has temporarily suppressed the Duan Ye family. However, after the Third Prince returned, the Duan Ye family suddenly officially expressed their support for the Second Prince. I'm afraid that the Duan Ye family might do something during our dynasty's war."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao could understand Feng Chenlan's concerns. Currently, the peak combat power of the major general clans of the Great Qin Dynasty was all outside, with only the patriarch guarding the home. If they were to break ties with the Duan Ye family at this time, the major general clans would not be able to withstand the pressure.
What good is it if the immortal sects support the Third Prince? In the end, the immortal sects can't interfere too much in the affairs of the imperial court.
However, the sudden return of the Third Prince did manage to stabilize the situation in the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty.
It seems she needs to make a trip to the capital before the war between the dynasties begins.
Lin Zhao calculated the time, and his gaze towards Feng Chenlan immediately became somewhat obsequious.
Having dealt with Lin Zhao for a long time, Feng Chenlan could now guess what Lin Zhao wanted to do from her expression. She immediately asked with displeasure, "What, do you want to ask for leave again?"
Lin Zhao flattered, "Your Excellency is wise."
Feng Chenlan sighed: "If it were before, I would never have allowed it, but now that You Shen is here, it's fine for you to take leave."
Ultimately, a single consecration period doesn't have much impact on the battle.
Lin Zhao immediately thanked him and left the military region under the cover of night.
The Western District Legion was not particularly far from the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty. Lin Zhao took a teleportation array and arrived at the capital in half a day.
After calculating the time, Lin Zhao estimated that even if the battle here was resolved quickly, he would have little chance of returning before the start of the Imperial War.
Fortunately, You Shen was left there, and she could notify her immediately through the Heavenly Mirror if anything happened.
On the way here via the teleportation array, Lin Zhao calculated a fixed time to handle the official business in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane. Seeing that the Ancestral Phoenix Empire had now largely stabilized, he couldn't help but marvel at Qu Shu's formidable political skills.
Even if I were to actually be in charge of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire now, I wouldn't be able to handle many things better than Qu Shu.
While reminiscing like this, Lin Zhao opened the Heavenly Mirror, confirmed the location of the Kong family given by Kong Nan, and then headed towards the Kong family.
Yes, this operation against the Duanye family was orchestrated by the Kong family and the Third Prince.
When Lin Zhao was led by a maid from the Kong family to the meeting place, she felt the gazes from all directions and the faint pressure of spiritual energy.
Is this a test of their own limits?
Feeling the spiritual pressure gradually intensify after he stepped into the room, Lin Zhao didn't hold back and suddenly released his own spiritual pressure towards the source of the pressure.
An old man sitting third from the left in the east of the room turned pale from the pressure of the spiritual energy Lin Zhao fed back. He immediately clenched his fists and looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the east—the head of the Kong family.
The patriarch of the Kong family hadn't expected that the Nascent Soul stage cultivator his daughter had invited would be so young, and with such a temper...
The old man, intimidated by Lin Zhao's spiritual aura, noticed the displeasure in the patriarch's expression and immediately seized the opportunity to speak, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator, and she's got such a temper. She really doesn't know her place. Just because she has a little status in a second-rate, shady power, she thinks she's something special. Little does she know she's nothing but a stray dog in front of a first-rate power." Lin Zhao looked at the Kong family patriarch: "Patriarch Kong, are you just going to let this old dog bark like this?"
The Kong family patriarch's expression darkened further. He tacitly allowed the old man to attack Lin Zhao because he didn't want Lin Zhao to have too much say in this operation as an elder of the Panlong Tower, so he wanted to reduce Lin Zhao's prestige.
But whether the woman before him was his daughter's savior or a young Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't afford to offend her openly, no matter how he looked at it.
"Elder An, why aren't you apologizing to Fellow Daoist Lin?"
The old man who released spiritual pressure on Lin Zhao was also a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, but he boasted that he had contributed a lot to the Kong family and was only one step away from entering the Integration stage. He looked down on Lin Zhao, a Nascent Soul cultivator from a second-rate power.
"Panlong Tower is ultimately a second-rate force that cannot be brought to the table. They have no respect for their seniors whatsoever. I overestimated Elder Lin's upbringing. I apologize to Elder Lin here."
Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow, looked at the other people sitting around the table, crossed his arms, and repeated a few words in an ambiguous tone: "Senior, respect, manners."
She slowly stepped forward and looked at Elder An, "Who do you think you are, daring to call yourself my senior? Is it because the pressure just now didn't kill you, but instead gave you a chance to show your face?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man An spat out a mouthful of blood, slumped onto the table, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Everyone else's pupils contracted at the sight, and the head of the Kong family almost stood up.
Elder An's strength was top-tier even among those at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, yet he was utterly powerless against Lin Zhao, completely crushed onto the table by her overwhelming pressure!
The opponent is definitely not at the Nascent Soul stage; this level of intimidation suggests they are at least at the Integration stage!
If they could turn a blind eye to the Kong family patriarch's desire to kill Lin Zhao for showing off his power when facing a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, then a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was someone they couldn't afford to offend so easily.
So what if they're elders of a second-rate power? Their combined strength has already given them some say in this operation.
Strength is always the best passport.
The young man opposite the Kong family patriarch suddenly stood up and apologized to Lin Zhao: "It is my fault for failing to manage my subordinates properly. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."
His attitude was extremely sincere, and he even bent down. Lin Zhao only needed a moment to think before guessing the other party's identity.
This is probably Jiang Yubai, the third prince of the Great Qin Dynasty who received support from the immortal sects and led the Jiang clan to rival the Duanye family during this period.
For a prince of a high-ranking dynasty, or even the future heir, to apologize to an elder of a second-rate power like this was already giving him a great deal of face.
Lin Zhao lowered his arms from his chest, the provocation on his face slowly disappearing, replaced by a friendly demeanor: "Your Highness is joking. This cooperation is a win-win situation for both of us. It is understandable that Your Highness's subjects wanted to test my methods. How can it be Your Highness's fault?"
Her sarcastic remarks left the Kong family head speechless. He reluctantly admitted his blindness, ordered his men to carry Elder An away, and then moved the seat arranged for Lin Zhao a little further forward.
Lin Zhao was very satisfied with the Kong family's understanding of the situation. He sat down and looked at the people involved in the operation, saying, "According to Aunt Nan, the Duan Ye family has three members who have passed the tribulation, while we only have two here."
The Kong family patriarch said, "We will send all the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators to fight the weakest early-stage Tribulation cultivator from the Duan Ye family. After our patriarch finishes his battle, he will go to support the Nascent Soul cultivators."
Lin Zhao rejected the Kong family head's idea: "That's not appropriate. Using quantity to counter quality is treating our Nascent Soul stage cultivators as expendable resources. The Duan Ye family also has quite a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators."
The head of the Kong family frowned. As the person in charge of this operation, this was the first time someone had so directly disrespected him, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Then what brilliant idea does Elder Lin have?"
Lin Zhao crossed his long legs and said something surprising, "I'm going to fight that early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm."
