Chapter 708 Nuwa's Tribulations
Lin Zhao sighed, "Then let's take it one step at a time for now. Let's find whichever successor of the God-Emperor we can find first. How do we find the Nuwa Stone?"

Tian Daojin said, "A Cong and I each have a metal-attribute and an earth-attribute Nuwa stone. The Nuwa stones are interconnected. We have long been able to sense the locations of the wood-attribute and fire-attribute Nuwa stones. However, the sense of the water-attribute Nuwa stone has always been faint, and now it is becoming increasingly strange."

Water-attribute Nuwa Stone?

Lin Zhao thought of the man who had kidnapped her mother and threatened her in the Emperor's plane. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slowly, and an uncontrollable killing intent emanated from her.

"I might be able to find the water-attribute Nuwa Stone," Lin Zhao said after a pause.

Tian Dao Cong and Tian Dao Jin exchanged a glance, then looked at Lin Zhao in surprise.

Lin Zhao met the probing gazes of the siblings, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Because of this Nuwa Stone, it actually originated from a powerful family in the Tianhuang Plane. That family was the Lin family, which is my family."

Then, Lin Zhao told Tian Dao Cong and Tian Dao Jin, the two siblings, everything that had happened in the Demon Realm of the Heavenly Phoenix Plane.

After hearing this, Tian Dao and his sister Tian Dao Jin shook their heads: "The man who stole the water-attribute Nuwa Stone is called Zhang Hexuan? Is he from the Zhang family?"

Lin Zhao looked at Tian Daojin: "The Zhang family? Another major family in the Northern Alliance? But that person only said that his physical body was called Zhang Hexuan, so his real name probably isn't that."

Tian Dao Cong thought for a while and said, "If this is his real name, that would be good, because the Zhang family is a first-class powerful family in our Three Emperors Plane. If the Tian Dao family is the leading family of the Northern Alliance, then the real ruling family of the Northern Alliance should be the Zhang family. Our Tian Dao family has long been reduced to a mascot-like existence under the persecution of Tian Dao Xia, while the Zhang family, although it has countless branches and a thin Three Emperors bloodline, is indeed the most powerful."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao frowned.

Even if the man's real name is Zhang Hexuan, it would not be easy to find a member of such a family with countless branches. Moreover, the surname Zhang is too common, and they have no evidence to prove that this Zhang Hexuan is from the Zhang family of the Northern Alliance.

“He initially thought the Nuwa Stone could activate the bloodline of the Three Sovereigns, so he probably knew something,” Tian Daojin said. “However, the Nuwa Stone only managed to fully unleash the power of the Nuwa bloodline, making him the successor of the Nuwa. He thought that this power of bloodline activation was to revitalize his already ruined bloodline.”

These two are different.

The Nuwa Stone can only provide a stimulus, giving a potential successor to a Nuwa descendant whose bloodline was originally unpolluted. It cannot be used as a means of purification to cleanse their polluted bloodline, nor can it grant them the power of Nuwa.

"Let's investigate this further." Tian Dao Cong thought for a moment and then said, "Although I don't want to admit it, the Zhang family is very strict in managing its members. This Zhang Hexuan is very similar to the style of a certain faction in the Zhang family. Moreover, if I remember correctly, the water-attribute Nuwa Stone was kept in the hands of the Zhang family, and now the earth-attribute Nuwa Stone is also in the hands of the Zhang family."

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up.

Without further ado, the three immediately headed towards the location where the Zhang family of the Northern Alliance was now situated.

As for Su Bai, Lin Zhao handed him over to settle down after bringing Ming Lang and the others out of the Blue Duck Secret Realm.

After Su Bai and his men settled in, they walked around the Northern Alliance base twice. They were surrounded by several girls whose average age was no more than ten. Lin Zhao was happy to watch the spectacle. After watching the fun for a while, he sent a message to Su Bai and then went to do something with the Tiandao siblings.

After Su Bai finally managed to get rid of the girls who wanted him to turn into a fox and pet them, he was able to see what message Lin Zhao had sent him. When he saw the instructions on the message, Su Bai was so angry that he almost laughed.

However, after glancing at the Heavenly Mirror, he put it away and, with a swift movement, left the Northern Alliance base.

……

"Does the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor mean that he suspects our Zhang family of stealing the Nuwa Stone?" The Taoist elder opposite Lin Zhao asked slowly after hearing Lin Zhao's description.

Lin Zhao said, "It's just a guess. Of course, this matter is related to my choice at the time, so I naturally bear responsibility."

The Zhang family patriarch shook his head: "The one who entrusted the Nuwa Stone to the Lin family was probably one of our Zhang family ancestors. That ancestor only asked the Lin family to preserve it for a hundred years. Lin Zhao has preserved it for more than a hundred years. It is my Zhang family that failed to take it away as promised. The consequences after that are naturally the responsibility of the Zhang family. What does it have to do with His Majesty?"

After saying that, the Zhang family patriarch called over his deputy: "Go and look through the family genealogy. Is there anyone named Zhang Hexuan on it?"

Upon hearing the name, the deputy looked at Lin Zhao, seemingly wanting to say something but not daring to.

The Zhang family patriarch and Lin Zhao naturally noticed his somewhat strange reaction and made up their minds: "Just say what you want to say, why are you acting like this?"

The deputy gave a wry smile: "Master, isn't this the name of the Second Master's youngest son?"

Hearing his deputy's bitter laugh, the Zhang family patriarch took a moment to process it before remembering who this second master was and who his youngest son was. Immediately, undisguised disgust surfaced on his face.

"So it was this family of wretched children. No wonder."

Lin Zhao looked at the head of the Zhang family.

“However, this person should not be the real Zhang Hexuan.” The Zhang family patriarch leaned on his cane, his hawk-like eyes revealing a hint of bloodlust.

Lin Zhao asked curiously, "Why is the patriarch so certain?"

The head of the Zhang family chuckled, his smile amiable. "Because that family of bastards has been completely wiped out by my own hands. There won't be any survivors."

His words sent chills down Lin Zhao's spine.

It was somewhat difficult for Lin Zhao to accept that he was saying such things with such a kind face.

“Then this Zhang Hexuan may have no connection with the Zhang family,” Lin Zhao said thoughtfully.

"No, this just proves that this wicked child is a member of our Zhang family, the lineage of Zhang Lao Er. Even after death, the lineage continues. This Zhang Hexuan is probably a loyal follower of Zhang Lao Er's lineage within the Zhang family."

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhao realized that it was indeed a possibility.

After all, when you admire someone a lot, you will use that person's name or a similar name in public.

The Zhang family patriarch looked at Lin Zhao: "If this person is a member of the Zhang family, as long as we find him, I will have a way to make him take out the stone."

Lin Zhaocong took out a piece of paper that he had torn from Zhang Hexuan's spatial scroll from his spatial ring: "Finding him isn't actually that difficult. Perhaps this can lead us to him."

This scroll carries the aura of Zhang Hexuan himself. With Lin Zhao's tracking talisman, it wouldn't be difficult to find the "Zhang Hexuan" who is currently in the Three Emperors' Plane.
