Chapter 874 Reunion of old friends

If it were the old You Shen, he would have handed over his annoying third brother without hesitation. But this time, he remained strangely silent for a while, then waved his hand and said, "You said that everything has its own destiny."

……

Lin Zhao looked at Jin Ya, who was sleeping on her back, and couldn't help but pinch her nose.

Jin Ya opened her eyes and was about to bite the person who pinched her nose.

Instead of getting bitten, his head was pinned down.

The cool, sweet fragrance filling her nostrils made Jin Ya immediately recognize who it was: "Lin Zhao, you've come!"

Lin Zhao let go of her: "How old are you? You can still sleep like a twisted dough stick in bed?"

"Isn't it because I've been too tired from fighting lately?" Jin Ya muttered to herself.

Lin Zhao said, "You, you fought? And you're tired? What kind of god could tire you out?"

Jin Ya's lips twitched: "There are still many experts in the True Spirit Realm, and many of them have bloodlines that are no less than mine."

Upon hearing Jin Ya's words, Lin Zhao realized that he had now entered the competition for the strongest younger generation in the cultivation world.

Here, even the bloodline of the Golden Crow is not considered the best.

This Central Domain Grand Competition was truly a spectacle where ancient dragons roamed everywhere, celestial phoenixes were commonplace, celestial foxes were less than dogs, and even the Human Emperor was insignificant.

This level of lineup is rare even in the True Spirit Realm.

"Now that you mention it, I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow's opening ceremony." Lin Zhao leaned back in the seat next to Jin Ya.

"You're going to rest?" Jin Ya looked at Lin Zhao, who had closed his eyes, in shock.

Lin Zhao let out a breath: "I was a bit overloaded from using the Ancestral Phoenix Will on my body before. I rushed here after using it up, so I'm a little tired. Please wake me up tomorrow when it's time."

Jin Ya nodded: "You should rest."

Lin Zhao turned her head; her breathing had already become steady.

……

Lin Zhao felt as if he had just closed his eyes when Jin Ya shook him awake: "Let's go, let's go, we should set off. The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan is waiting for us outside."

Lin Zhao, still half-asleep, asked, "The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan? Are they waiting for us?"

"Yes, there's another one from the Zhao family, who says he's an old acquaintance of yours."

Lin Zhao's mind wandered to the Zhao family he had met in the Divine Soul World, as well as Zhao Wuyan, whom he had met on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent. His thoughts were scattered, but he quickly brought them back to their own.

"It is indeed an old friend, but I don't know which one."

After all, she knew quite a few members of the Zhao family.

Jin Ya said, "There's someone we've met together."

That's Zhao Wuyan from the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

That awkward tycoon who possesses the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl.

With a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, Lin Zhao remembered that he still had something he could give to him and said, "Let's go see him. I didn't expect him to ascend as well and be able to participate in the Central Domain Competition."

It truly lives up to its name as the Ice Soul Yin-Yang Pearl.
On second thought, if Ning Wengui hadn't taken care of Mumu, would she have ended up here too?
Lin Zhao sighed, opened the door, and followed Jin Ya outside, where they were met by a group of handsome young men.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao, the young men all showed a hint of respect on their faces. Lin Zhao sensed their presence and greeted them, saying, "You must be fellow Daoists of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Lin Zhao, but I don't have much to offer as a gift. These are some talismans that I made recently, which are effective against evil thoughts from other realms. I hope you won't find them too inappropriate."

The members of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan never expected that following the clan's wishes to meet this matriarch would yield such an unexpected gain—a talisman effective against evil thoughts from another world. Even the lowest grade of such a talisman is not cheap.

Given Lin Zhao's current rank, what low-grade goods could she possibly bring out?
The initial superficial respect immediately turned into genuine flattery: "Thank you, Madam! You are so generous!"

The woman at the head of the group took the talisman, examined it, her eyes lit up, and she thanked Lin Zhao with a smile.

"Mistress, I am Su Yan, the captain of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan this time. These are our Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan members. Please tell us what you need, sisters and brothers of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

Her straightforwardness relieved Lin Zhao, who smiled and said, "Just call me Lin Zhao."

Su Yan quickly refused.

The Demon Ancestor only acted like a younger brother in front of Lin Zhao; in front of these people, he could kill them in a heartbeat.

After getting to know the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, Lin Zhao met the gazes of the Zhao family members over there.

To Lin Zhao's surprise, there was indeed Zhao Wuyan among them, but there were even more people from the Zhao family of Xianlin whom she had met in the Divine Soul World.

Lin Zhao sized them up for a while, confirming that their aura was much stronger than the ones he had seen in the Divine Soul World. He walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, it's been a long time."

The Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Zhao's attitude.

Even with the ascension of their junior Zhao Wuyan, the emergence of a new Ice Soul Saint Lord to oversee things, and the stabilization of the Zhao family's status in the Divine Soul World thanks to Lin Zhao's prestige, they are still far from being able to compare with a genius of Lin Zhao's caliber.

Unexpectedly, even after Lin Zhao reached this position, his attitude towards them remained the same as when they were in the Nascent Soul stage.

At the same time, they also understood why their family had withstood so much pressure to claim that Lin Zhao was one of their clansmen.

Just as the elders said, it wasn't that she climbed up to the Zhao family's social standing, but rather that the Zhao family benefited from her influence.

"Fairy Lin, thank you for all those years." The strongest members of the Zhao family, who had little contact with Lin Zhao, felt somewhat guilty because of some of their past speculations.

After all, Lin Zhao, who was not of Zhao family blood, had a better and greater reputation among the younger generation of the Zhao family than they did, which made them unhappy for a long time.

Lin Zhao laughed heartily: "What's the matter from back then? Didn't I ask you for plenty of benefits too?"

The younger generation of the Zhao family, whether they knew the truth or not, actually had a good attitude towards her. Regardless of what they were thinking, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. These people hadn't done anything to her back then and had acted entirely according to her own ideas, so Lin Zhao didn't need to care about their inner thoughts.

The younger generation of the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and placed Zhao Wuyan at the front: "This is our Zhao family's current young master, and also the Zhao family's captain for this mission. His name is..."

"Zhao Wuyan." The young man, whose appearance was so exquisite that it was impeccable, extended his hand to Lin Zhao: "Shareholder, it's been a long time."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, not bad, the Ice Soul Saint Lord is indeed powerful."

Touching the smile on her face, a slight warmth appeared on Zhao Wuyan's usually icy expression: "Without you, there would be no Zhao Wuyan today."

Lin Zhao was also somewhat moved.

When they first met in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, the other party was still a mortal who had never engaged in cultivation. How many years has it been? He has already reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

Since she began cultivating, Lin Zhao has met countless geniuses and has been called a genius by them, but each time someone manages to redefine her understanding of how many geniuses there are in this world.

She took out a Qiankun bag from the ring: "This contains things that will benefit your cultivation, but they are useless to me. I'm giving it to you."

This naturally contains the Yin-Yang Pearl and other items that Lin Zhao obtained from the Emperor.

Zhao Wuyan didn't refuse and accepted directly, "The Worry-Free Merchant Guild is now spread across various planes in the lower realms and has also made its way into the upper realm. Your share of the profits will not be less."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I never thought that I, Lin Zhao, would one day be able to enjoy the feeling of being a rich woman both in heaven and on earth."
