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

Chapter 710 Zhang Xuyang

The eerie firelight illuminated a cave hundreds of meters below the surface. It was untouched by any otherworldly evil influences. While the environment was certainly less pristine than that of the Northern Alliance, its purity was perhaps unmatched.

Lin Zhao instructed the others to wait for her at the cave entrance. Su Bai stayed behind to guard the others while she entered the cave alone after affixing a concealment talisman. The deeper she went, the more astonished she became by the cave's vastness and depth.

She simply flew away on her sword, breaking through many formations along the way.

This excited Lin Zhao considerably. This was the first time he had found so many exquisite formations in a cave. Lin Zhao looked around and found that these formations had very different styles and were set at different times, which meant that these formations were definitely not set up by one person.

Unable to locate Zhang Hexuan for the time being, Lin Zhao took a closer look at the formations. What she found startled her.

Because all the names left on these formations are surnamed Zhang.

Are these all formations left behind by the Zhang family?

After a moment's thought, Lin Zhao and Su Bai exchanged messages through the Heavenly Mirror.

Before Su Bai could reply, Lin Zhao heard a cry of pain, followed by a somewhat familiar voice.

"What are you yelling about? I've been feeding and taking good care of you all these years, even bringing you the Nuwa Stone. And you're completely useless. What kind of purest Celestial Master bloodline do you have? If it weren't for the fact that your formation is still somewhat useful, I would have sent you to the Western Paradise long ago."

That voice, that tone...

Lin Zhao was certain that this was Zhang Hexuan, who had taken the Nuwa Stone from her back then, so she immediately headed towards the source of the sound without hesitation.

When they found Zhang Hexuan, he was whipping a boy who was tied to a stone pillar.

To Lin Zhao's surprise, the boy tied to the stone pillar had a face exactly like Zhang Xuzhe's outside.

Are they twins?
Did the Zhang family know this?
According to the Zhang family patriarch, they were unaware of the existence of Zhang Hexuan. However, Zhang Xuzhe clearly held a special status within the Zhang family. Even though he claimed to be a slave of the next patriarch, he was still entrusted with important responsibilities by the patriarch.

And this boy, who looks exactly like him, is being beaten up here by this guy whose existence even the Zhang family doesn't know about.

Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still did not act immediately. Instead, he continued to watch.

"Don't tell me that the Nuwa Stone is only useful to those vermin from the Heavenly Dao Clan now. Isn't the Zhang family supposed to have the purest bloodline? So pure that they can't control themselves after reverting to their ancestral form? Why are you such a waste?"

As Zhang Hexuan continued speaking, he started cursing again. Not satisfied with just cursing, he even kicked the boy. Meeting the boy's angry gaze, Zhang Hexuan had to admit he was a little intimidated.

After all, this is the strongest bloodline in the Zhang family's history. In the mysterious legends of the Zhang family, the strongest bloodline is an invincible existence.

But thinking about how he had beaten and insulted him all these years since he captured him, and how this guy hadn't uttered a single word, he completely let go of that little bit of fear and said, "What are you looking at? Be careful, or I'll stop feeding you and giving you water from today onwards, and starve you to death, you so-called genius of the Zhang family."

The boy's head drooped limply after hearing those words. Seeing this, Zhang Hexuan, knowing he had the other man in control again, sneered: "I thought you had some ambition, but you're just a coward. Behave yourself and continue making the formation for me."

When it came to formations, Zhang Hexuan finally paid attention to the formations he had set up. But once he did, he was stunned.

"how so?!"

The place he found was known only to the madmen of the Zhang family throughout the ages. These formations were also created by the madmen of the Zhang family. Ordinary people would avoid it like the plague, and even evil thoughts from other worlds dared not invade this place because of the existence of these formations. How could most of them have disappeared today?
It's one thing that most of it disappeared, but how come I didn't feel anything at all?!
The more Zhang Hexuan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly looked around and asked in a serious tone, "Who goes there? Why don't you show yourself?"

His blustering yet cowardly demeanor only made Lin Zhao find him utterly ridiculous.

"Didn't you say that getting the Nuwa Stone would activate your bloodline? Why are you hiding here doing these shady things now?"

Lin Zhao decided not to hide it anymore and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's voice, Zhang Hexuan took a moment to process it before finally recognizing whose voice it was, a look of horror appearing on his face.

"You were only... How is that possible? How did you find your way here? Did the Zhang family tell you?! Impossible, the Zhang family, those old fogies would never want anyone to know about this place."

When Lin Zhao's terrifying pressure pressed down on him like a mountain, Zhang Hexuan belatedly remembered the fragment of the scroll from before: "That spatial scroll!"

Thinking about this, Zhang Hexuan was filled with remorse. Of course, he didn't regret stealing the Nuwa Stone back then, but rather regretted not being more decisive in his methods and why he couldn't have moved the guy sooner.

Although this guy was full of complaints, Zhang Hexuan understood that since the Nuwa Stone was useless, if he still wanted to inherit the power of the Three Sovereigns and become the Creator God, he could only rely on this madman.

Lin Zhao reached out and grabbed Zhang Hexuan. Zhang Hexuan's body was uncontrollably thrown into Lin Zhao's hand. With a flick of her wrist, the Nuwa Stone was in her grasp.

Lin Zhao looked at the water-attribute Nuwa Stone in his hand that he had regained, then looked up at Zhang Hexuan: "I was originally planning to keep you here to ask you some questions, but... perhaps it would be better to ask him instead?"

Zhang Hexuan's gaze followed Lin Zhao's and landed on the boy. After realizing what Lin Zhao meant, his eyes widened, and he was about to remind him of something.

Lin Zhao knocked him unconscious and threw him aside. Looking at the boy tied to the stone pillar, she did not move immediately.

Because the boy who looked exactly like Zhang Xuzhe also looked at her, but his eyes didn't show the eagerness and joy one would expect upon seeing someone who could save them. Instead, they revealed a strange longing.

Realizing something, Lin Zhao summoned the Holy Dragon Emperor Spear in his hand and used it to block the sudden claw attack from the boy who had broken free of his chains.

Lin Zhao: "..."

This guy is definitely a bit off. He didn't utter a sound when Zhang Hexuan abused him so much, but as soon as I showed up, he went all out.

Blocking that claw, Lin Zhao saw the fighting spirit igniting in the opponent's eyes and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
