Chapter 709 Tracking
Upon seeing the fragment of the spatial scroll in Lin Zhao's hand, the Zhang family patriarch sensed it and said, "The remaining spiritual energy fluctuations on it are indeed from our Zhang family, but the feeling of these fluctuations... doesn't quite qualify them as direct descendants of the Zhang family."

Upon mentioning the Zhang family's direct descendants, the Zhang family head let out a barely audible sigh. The sigh was so faint that only Lin Zhao caught it, and he looked at the Zhang family head with curiosity.

The Zhang family patriarch avoided Lin Zhao's gaze, exchanged a glance with his deputy, and both shook their heads.

The two siblings from the Tiandao family didn't pay attention to the Zhang family's reaction. After all, ever since they met the Zhang family, they had always been like this, acting strangely and being very keen on spreading their bloodline and having more descendants.

Upon hearing the description of the two siblings from the Tiandao family, Lin Zhao sincerely exclaimed, "Actually, you can just say they're very prolific, they have a lot of children."

Tian Dao Cong glanced at the young man from the Zhang family sent by the Zhang family patriarch. The young man had black hair, wore white clothes, and had a pair of sandalwood-colored eyes. He had a calm demeanor, yet there was a chilling feeling about him.

The young man noticed Tian Dao Cong's gaze and remained unmoved by the Tian Dao family's complaints until he heard Lin Zhao's remark. He then blinked and said, "Young Master Tian Dao is right, but His Majesty may have misunderstood something. Besides our Zhang family's fondness for spreading our bloodline to increase our offspring, we also like to bestow the surname Zhang upon children without surnames. These clansmen who receive the Zhang surname can also intermarry with other Zhang family members. Therefore, although the Zhang family has many offspring, there are only a few branches that truly possess the Zhang family bloodline."

Lin Zhao looked at the young man thoughtfully: "Do you have the purest Zhang family bloodline?"

The boy shook his head: "I am just a slave to the future head of the family."

To Lin Zhao's surprise, even a genius as powerful as this young man, who had reached the True Immortal stage at such a young age, couldn't help but show a hint of fear in his eyes after mentioning the young master of the Zhang family.

"What is your young master's current cultivation level?"

After asking that question, Lin Zhao sensed that the gazes around him were somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhao looked at the Tian Dao siblings and Zhang Xuzhe, the young man from the Zhang family, with some confusion.

Zhang Xuzhe smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty is still unaware that the Zhang family has never had a young master, only a family head. As for the future heir I just mentioned, he is not the young master of the Zhang family. He is just the person who can inherit the position of family head after the passing of the family head."

Lin Zhao: "Is there any difference?"

“It’s different.” Tian Dao Jin patiently explained, “In our Three Emperors’ plane, the family head and the young master have almost equal rights. In fact, after the young master comes of age, his power is much greater than that of the family head. Therefore, very few families will establish a young master. Our Tian Dao family is an exception. As for the Zhang family, which is in contrast to the Tian Dao family, the Zhang family almost never has a position like the young master.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao opened his mouth in astonishment, and could only conclude that different places have different rules.

"I wonder where His Majesty the Demon Emperor has gone?" After following Lin Zhao out of the Northern Alliance base, Zhang Xuzhe looked down at its location, a flicker of emotion in his eyes, but it quickly vanished.

"Oh, I had him investigate and clear out the otherworldly evil thoughts around the base." Lin Zhao took out another tracking talisman from his spatial ring, looked at the location indicated by the tracking talisman, and looked at the two siblings from the Heavenly Dao Family.

What's to the south?

It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to Zhang Xuzhe from the Zhang family; it was just that no matter how normal Zhang Xuzhe acted, Lin Zhao could always catch a glimpse of madness and indifference in his unintentional expressions.

This indifference is not only directed at others, but also at oneself.

In other words, Lin Zhao had no doubt that he would stab himself in the back and end his life if necessary to achieve his goal. Although he didn't know why the Zhang family head had sent him to accompany them to find Zhang Hexuan, Lin Zhao was reluctant to talk to this man any further since he sensed something was wrong.

Halfway through their journey, Lin Zhao paused. Tian Dao Cong looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong, Lin Zhao?"

Lin Zhao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the people who were supposed to meet us have arrived."

A red figure slowly appeared not far away, with exquisite features and unparalleled demeanor. Her fox-like eyes seemed to contain the brilliance of stars.

Who else could rival Su Bai in such splendor?

Even though Tian Dao Cong had always disliked Su Bai and still had reservations about Su Bai and Lin Zhao's relationship, he had to admit that the Emperor's consort was indeed impeccable in appearance, and perhaps also in terms of status and strength.

only……

Looking at Lin Zhao, who was smiling and waving at Su Bai, Tian Dao Cong suppressed all the amazement he felt for Su Bai and let out a soft hum.

Tian Dao Jin sensed this change in his younger sister, patted her shoulder, and shook his head with a smile.

He naturally knew what his sister was thinking, but this was ultimately a relationship between Lin Zhao and Su Bai. Lin Zhao liked it, and they, as outsiders, couldn't reject her Daoist partner just because they admired and liked Lin Zhao.

After all, Lin Zhao herself chose this person.

Tian Dao Cong understood her brother's meaning and sighed helplessly, but unexpectedly met a cold glint in Su Bai's eyes, a glint that was enough to freeze her to the bone.

For a moment, Tian Dao Cong almost thought that Su Bai wanted to kill him in front of Lin Zhao.

It wasn't until Lin Zhao walked to Su Bai's side that the coldness in Su Bai's eyes vanished instantly, and she slowly recovered from her stiff and numb state.

If it weren't for the lingering shock Su Bai had just given her, she might have even thought that Su Bai's gaze was just her imagination.

"I have investigated the situation of the otherworldly evil spirits in this area. There are no materialized otherworldly evil spirits that can cause damage to the base, but I still have a strange feeling."

Su Bai looked towards the Northern Alliance, or rather, the south where they were currently located, and pointed in that direction, saying, "Over there, perhaps besides the person you're looking for, Sister Zhao Zhao, there are other things that exist."

When he finished speaking, everyone else was fine, but Zhang Xuzhe's brow twitched violently. He stared intently at Su Bai, but then, as if remembering something, he moved his lips but remained silent.

Lin Zhao took in this scene without missing a beat, and she remembered it. She then called to Tian Dao and his sister, along with Zhang Xuzhe, to head south in the direction indicated by the tracking talisman.

The brighter the tracking talisman, the closer the target was. When the tracking talisman emitted a soft sound and completely burned to ashes, Lin Zhao knew that they had arrived at their destination.
