Chapter 839 Emperor Tower

Lin Zhao's expression changed, and she looked solemnly in the direction Youliang was looking.

Fortunately, Youliang relaxed his guard after a few breaths, which meant that Huangzhao had already left.

"This woman is rather strange," Youliang said, frowning.

Lin Zhao was alarmed by You Liang's words and asked, "Senior, did Huang Zhao do something?"

Noticing Lin Zhao's tension, Youliang quickly reassured him, "No, this time she didn't do anything. And unlike last time, when I could sense some hostility and killing intent from her, this time her aura is more like a test."

That's the weirdest thing.

How could someone like Huang Zhao possibly remain completely neutral and without any hostility or treachery?

Lin Zhao's gaze swept over the cabin where Qu Shu was, and he immediately opened his mouth wide, thinking that if it was as he thought, then Huang Zhao was living a very complicated life.

She came to see Qu Shu?
Would she even have the desire to come back and see the son she herself abandoned?
Or……

She was resentful when she learned that she had taken her biological son, whom she had never paid any attention to, to the Ancestral Phoenix Cemetery, which she had always wanted to visit. She wanted to see her son.

Lin Zhao couldn't understand it.

Ironically, although they are clearly mother and son, Huang Zhao and Qu Shu should have never met in this life.

At least as far back as Qu Shu can remember, they had never met.

These miscellaneous matters caused Lin Zhao to let out a long sigh, and unconsciously he placed a talisman on the deck.

"Are you going to speed up again?" Noticing the effect of Lin Zhao's talismans, You Liang asked curiously, "Can your divine soul control this speed and so many talismans now?"

The talisman increased the speed of the immortal ship to this extent; even Youliang, as an elder of the ancient dragon clan with extensive experience, had never seen anything like it before.

To understand this, reaching such speeds is not simply a matter of speed; it involves spatial jumps and spatial tearing forces.

The Celestial King would naturally not fear any spatial tearing force, but maintaining such a large celestial ship through constant spatial tearing and jumping would be a tremendous test of both celestial energy and divine soul.

In particular, these talismans are currently being manipulated entirely by Lin Zhao's spiritual power.

Can Lin Zhao manage to multitask?
Lin Zhao knew what Youliang wanted to ask, and waved his hand: "I can barely hold on, but I'll have to trouble you with Huang Zhao's matter during this time."

Yuliang expressed his confidence in entrusting the matter to him.

With their combined efforts, Lin Zhao and Qu Shu arrived at the central region in less than three days.

As they disembarked from the immortal boat, Qu Shu remembered something and asked Lin Zhao, "Why didn't Su Bai come along?"

Judging from that kid's personality—he'll automatically follow you after you acknowledge him as your master—there must be something fishy about his absence.

Lin Zhao said, "He went to deal with the evil thoughts from the otherworld in the ancient battlefield of the Northern Region. He probably wants to bring back more to help the Heavenly Phoenix Clan grow stronger?"

Lin Zhao sighed as she spoke.

Actually, she felt that Su Bai's feelings for the Phoenix Clan were deeper than her own.

Her feelings for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were based on the significant help they had provided her, their status as descendants of the Ancestral Phoenix, and her connection to Qu Shu.

Su Bai's feelings were simply a case of loving someone because of them. Of course, Lin Zhao wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Su Bai was only thinking about strengthening the Heavenly Phoenix Clan because of her.

More so, it was because of the Ancestral Phoenix God, who was born from the universe with him but died before him.

Hearing what Su Bai was doing, even someone as shrewd as Qu Shu was stunned, clearly not expecting it.

Finally, Qu Shu shook her head: "Just as stubborn as you."

Lin Zhao would say this every time: "Once we enter the central domain, let's not take the immortal boat anymore, because I sensed a lot of very powerful auras in the central domain. If they mistake us for enemies and shoot us down, that would be a big problem. Hmm... I know the location. Follow me."

The two flew on their swords towards the Heavenly Phoenix Domain.

As he traveled, Lin Zhao marveled at the prosperity and vastness of the central region.

"This doesn't look like a place where cultivators live. It looks more like a palace in the mortal realm, but it's much more magnificent than a palace in the mortal realm." Lin Zhao said to Qu Shu with some emotion as he looked at the towering and magnificent buildings.

Qu Shu was somewhat exasperated by her naive and unworldly demeanor. Before he could speak, a slightly effeminate male voice came from not far away.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Has he never even seen the Imperial Tower?"

Upon hearing the voice, Qu Shu frowned slightly. Before he could figure out who it was, Lin Zhao looked up and frankly admitted to the newcomer and his companion, "I ascended from the lower realm and this is indeed the first time I've seen the Emperor's Tower."

Only then did the man see Lin Zhao's face clearly, and his face immediately turned bright red, unable to utter a single sarcastic remark.

The young man in blue next to him also showed a hint of amazement when he looked at Lin Zhao. His originally somewhat casual attitude became slightly more restrained, but he still had a bit of the arrogance of a superior being.

"Fellow Daoist, from which plane did you ascend? Did you have any connection with the Upper Realm? I am Lan Mingxian of the Heavenly Emperor Tower in the Central Domain."

After Lan Mingxian finished speaking, he waited for the exceptionally good-looking man and woman in front of him to show expressions of envy, so that he could "casually" extend an olive branch.

Of course, the Emperor's Tower doesn't accept just anyone, but he could temporarily bring these two to the tower, as for whether he would grant them disciple status or something else...

If the two have some talent, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give them the status of outer disciples. If they don't have any talent, they can enjoy their outstanding looks, even if they are considered exceptional in the upper realm, or give them away.

Lin Zhao understood the implication in Lan Mingxian's words, his lips twitched, and he looked at Qu Shu, transmitting his voice, "I thought they should be able to see your identity?"

Qu Shu transmitted his voice to her: "The strongest among these people is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection."

Even if Qu Shu had no combat power, he was still a quasi-Immortal King, so these Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivators naturally couldn't detect that Qu Shu's true form was a Heavenly Phoenix.

Lin Zhao chuckled.

Looking back at Lan Mingxian, Lin Zhao didn't indulge his self-righteous attitude: "Fellow Daoist is joking. Although I don't have any connections in the Upper Realm, my good friend is a descendant of a great clan in the Upper Realm."

Lan Mingxian's smile froze, and his gaze towards Qu Shu became more wary and thoughtful. "It seems I was mistaken. May I ask which noble family you are descended from?"

Before Qu Shu and Lin Zhao could answer, a giggle came from behind Lan Mingxian: "What great family descendant? Just a down-on-his-luck person."

Lin Zhao looked at Qu Shu with a subtle expression.

Qu Shu remained expressionless.

The alluring woman who was walking towards them stopped not far from Lan Mingxian, her upturned peach blossom eyes looking at Qu Shu with a mixture of resentment and anger: "What kind of descendant of a great clan is a mere Heavenly Phoenix in today's world where the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has fallen? She can only fool the bumpkins who have just ascended."
