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

Chapter 566 After the War
If it were before, Lin Zhao really wouldn't know who this Lord Yuan was, but now...

Lin Zhao reached out and pressed his hand on the other person's head, tearing his soul directly out of his body amidst the tears streaming down Old Ancestor Duan Ye's face.

Taking out the Soul Nourishing Bottle that stores divine souls, Lin Zhao turned to look at the other two battlefields where people were undergoing tribulation.

After seeing their ancestor die, the two Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators from the Duan Ye family were already showing signs of turning tail and running away. The Kong family ancestor and the An family ancestor were naturally not to be trifled with either, and they held them back tightly.

Lin Zhao's first aid was to the An family patriarch. The Kong family patriarch was in a superior position, while the An family patriarch was truly risking his life to survive.

After joining forces with the An family patriarch to resolve the early-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator, the three of them together defeated the last mid-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator whose cultivation was unstable, thus announcing the outcome of this battle.

With the three Tribulation Transcending stage warriors unleashed, the battles that followed were insignificant.

Even someone like Lin Zhao, who is at the Integration Stage, still suffers from the disadvantage of the Heaven and Earth Domain when facing the Tribulation. Not to mention others, those at the Nascent Soul Stage are already doing well if they don't kneel down in the Heaven and Earth Domain of the Tribulation Stage.

Seeing that all the powerful members of the Duanye family had been captured, Lin Zhao remained silent and did not make any further moves.

Firstly, she was already an outsider, and secondly, having obtained the soul of Ancestor Duanye, she wouldn't have to worry about finding information about Zuoyuan.

Seeing the hideout of the culprit who had once torn the Lin family apart being dismantled and destroyed, Lin Zhao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

“This is just the first step.”

The heads of the Kong and An families, who were in charge of post-war affairs, came forward with their ancestors to greet Lin Zhao and bow deeply in gratitude, which Lin Zhao quickly stopped.

"My personal grudges are also involved in this action, so there's no need for you all to be so formal."

The four of them gave a wry smile, all of them sweating a little for their previous disrespectful attitude towards Lin Zhao.

The An family head was quicker to think, and whispered to the Kong family head, "It's all thanks to the Third Prince's good judgment that he left behind a Tribulation Transcending expert for our dynasty."

Previously, they had some dissatisfaction and doubts about the Third Prince's promise to give Lin Zhao the title of First Prince. Now that they think about it, they are indeed worthy of the Third Prince, who has not made any wrong decisions since returning.

If it weren't for the Third Prince's decisive action back then, the Jiang Clan would have been the ones to lose today's battle against the Duan Ye Clan, especially given that the Duan Ye Clan somehow produced a late-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator and a mid-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

The head of the Kong family also strongly agreed.

Looking at Lin Zhao, his gaze held a hint of awe. He carefully considered his words and said to Lin Zhao, "My lord, we have submitted an application to the Third Prince, welcoming the Panlong Tower forces to establish an influence in the Great Qin Dynasty and to treat them as first-class forces. What do you think of this?"

The Ancestral Dragon Plane and the Ancestral Phoenix Plane differ in this respect. In the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, power is highly centralized, and there is only one political empire across all continents of the entire plane—the Ancestral Phoenix Empire. The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor is the absolute monarch of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, commanding all forces.

The power in the Ancestral Dragon Plane is divided into five parts. In the territories belonging to the imperial dynasty, after the imperial dynasty has achieved political rule, it can manage the immortal sects that belong to the imperial dynasty's territory.

Of course, the immortal sect forces belonging to the immortal sect's territory are under the jurisdiction of the chief immortal sect.

However, every faction wants to have a subordinate, which not only involves the issue of legitimately being listed on the Zulong Sect Ranking, but also the issue of their subordinate allocating corresponding resources each year.

Lin Yi and Ming Gui arrived with the assassins from Panlong Tower. Upon hearing this, their expressions became somewhat subtle.

After all, Panlong Pagoda has been hiding all these years, with its headquarters deep in the mountains. Is it just that they are pretending to be profound?

Of course not. Which power would want to be an unknown force with no home base if it could exist properly within a dynasty and enjoy the benefits of a dynasty?

Previously, the strongest cultivators in the Panlong Tower were only at the Integration Stage, whose combat power wasn't particularly formidable, and they were engaged in assassination—a somewhat lackluster profession in the cultivation world due to the existence of mercenaries. No dynasty took them seriously. This time, the Great Qin Dynasty's show of goodwill was clearly because of Lin Zhao's presence.

Lin Zhao was also somewhat tempted by what the Kong family head said.

After all, it was her second brother's influence, and this incident also taught Lin Zhao that it would be somewhat inconvenient to act without her own people and influence in the Ancestral Dragon Plane.

If possible, she would certainly hope that Panlong Tower could achieve better development.

"On the royal family's side... can the Third Prince make all the decisions?"

If she remembered correctly, the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty had several powerful figures. Could these powerful figures agree to this?
After hearing this, the An family patriarch knew what Lin Zhao was worried about and immediately smiled and said, "This is what those elders indicated to us."

Lin Zhao didn't believe those other individuals would offer such a suggestion voluntarily, so it could only be the Third Prince.

"I owe them a huge favor," Lin Zhao sighed.

If the Third Prince has considerable talent in cultivation, he must be someone I have to be wary of.

"On behalf of Panlong Pagoda, I thank the Great Qin Dynasty for accepting us," Lin Zhao said to the heads of the Kong and An families.

After separating from the Jiang clan, Lin Yi excitedly slapped her on the shoulder: "Zhao Zhao, you're really something! Hey, my little sister can kill a late-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator, I'm going to brag about this to my brothers for three years when we get back!"

Lin Zhao moved his hand away: "Have you found out where my elder brother is these past few days?"

The excitement on Lin Yi's face slowly faded, and he shook his head. "My people found the place where my brother and I separated back then, but no one there has ever seen anyone like my brother."

This is hardly good news.

Judging from the current performance of Duan Yejia and Zuo Yuan, he did not obtain the ancestral dragon's soul from his elder brother, but there is another possibility.

—Lin Yu has already passed away.

Noticing Lin Zhao's emotional change, Lin Yi said, "Before you were born, my eldest brother was always the most talented and intelligent in the Lin family. He won't get into trouble."

Lin Zhao rubbed his temples: "My identity is not suitable to be revealed to the public. In order to attract the attention of my eldest brother, I will have to rely on my second brother from now on."

Lin Yi nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked, "I haven't had the time or the courage to ask before, how have your parents been all these years?"

Lin Zhao looked back at her second brother for a while. She and Lin Yi had some resemblance in appearance, but Lin Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were more like her father's. Although she had a woman's gentleness, she also had an undeniable aloofness.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was more inclined towards his mother, Yao Yun. He had long, narrow eyes that exuded an ethereal quality while also possessing a touch of unrestrainedness.

She could no longer remember what Lin Yu looked like when she was a child, only that he looked like when her brother nurtured him with the spiritual energy he left behind.

She looks different from both Lin Yi and her.

Lin Zhao was certain that her eldest brother had some special feelings for her because of her ancient phoenix aura, but after learning her identity, she was unsure whether her eldest brother felt the same way about the Lin family and their parents as she and her second brother did.

Lin Zhao replied, "The hard times are over. My parents are safe now. I just miss you all very much and feel very sorry for you."

Lin Yi was silent for a moment: "We're family, there's no need to apologize. As long as Mom and Dad are safe, that's all that matters."
