Chapter 897 After the War
Lin Zhao took out the Heavenly Mirror and a talisman, activating it. This scene surprised the Ancient Dragon Clan's matriarch.

"You didn't use any immortal energy to activate the Heavenly Mirror?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "When I was in the mortal realm, I saw some Maoshan Taoists who could activate talismans even when their own spiritual energy was thin, or even when some mortals had no spiritual energy at all. I found it very interesting at the time, so I made a note of it. Later, I studied whether it could be applied to immortal energy, and fortunately, it can."

As the matriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan looked at the talisman, a flash of inspiration struck her.

Lin Zhao can activate the Heavenly Mirror with talismans even without immortal energy in her body. Does that mean that although she can't use immortal energy now, she still has formidable combat power?

Thinking of this possibility, the Ancient Dragon Clan matriarch's initial worries about Lin Zhaosheng lessened somewhat: "What are your plans for the future?"

Lin Zhao looked at Qu Shu's reply on the Heavenly Mirror: "In short, let's reunite with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan first. We've dealt with the two priests in the Desolate Evil Domain, but the strange disturbances caused by these two priests from otherworldly evil thoughts need to be dealt with by them."

Upon hearing this, the matriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan sighed, "Indeed, with your current strength, you can no longer be considered a true member of the younger generation."

Lin Zhao's current strength, when fully unleashed, might be enough to fight against some powerful figures who have just advanced to the Immortal Venerable realm. Against these younger generation cultivators, it's simply too much of a bully.

Lin Zhao chuckled, unconcerned: "Lin Zhao is still quite old, so if anything goes wrong within the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, I will still take action. However, if I can't use my immortal energy, my combat power is limited to this."

Upon hearing this, the matriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan gave a wry smile.

Lin Zhao's abilities are nothing compared to the rest of the younger generation.

However, considering Youchen's cultivation level, the matriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan was not worried about the situation of the Ancient Dragon Clan: "In that case, I will continue to hide. After all, my presence here will inevitably affect the team members' performance to some extent."

Lin Zhao glanced at the location on the Heavenly Mirror and nodded.

She found a small mound of earth, sat down, and waited for the people of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to come looking for her.

While waiting, Lin Zhao looked at the black lines on her fingertips and sighed softly.

It wasn't that she was wary of the Ancient Dragon Clan's matriarch, but rather that the entire Ancient Dragon Clan didn't seem like people who followed rules, so some things absolutely couldn't be said too explicitly.
For example, in addition to not being able to use her immortal energy for three months, she is also suffering from an unknown poison affecting all her meridians.

This poison appeared as the energy of the Eight Priests entered the body, and it must have been the work of the Eight Priests.

With Lin Zhao's current cultivation level and alchemy skills, she has no way to deal with this poison. She plans to wait until she leaves the Desolate Evil Domain to try and find Granny Honghu.

She should still be in the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Having cured You Shen's Yuan Kong Body, Lin Zhao was no longer worried about how Grandma Honghu would be treated in the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Her concern was whether she could conceal her physical condition from the other old monsters in the Ancient Dragon Clan once she joined them.

The matriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan was a rather oblivious person, yet she still managed to sense that something was wrong with her condition; one can only imagine how other old foxes would react.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao sighed heavily, and suddenly heard a noise not far away.

A group of people was rushing here, with Qu Shu and Jin Ya at the forefront, followed by the people of the Tianhuang Clan.

To Lin Zhao's surprise, people from the Xuanwu, Baihu, and Zhuque clans had also come.

Lin Zhao said, "Oh, you're following us?"

Jin Ya gets angry just thinking about it. If Qu Shu hadn't stopped her, she would have definitely given these guys a good fight.

"I didn't want them to come along, but they insisted. Qu Shu wouldn't let me hit them." Lin Zhao walked over and patted Jin Ya on the shoulder. "What were you thinking?"

When the White Tiger Clan captain met Lin Zhao's gaze, his usually arrogant and provocative look became somewhat evasive this time. He then took a step back and stood behind a girl in white.

The girl in white was clearly the leader of the three teams. She stepped forward slowly and said, "We apologize for disturbing you, young master. We are worried about your health and have no ill intentions. We just wanted to see if there is anything we can do to help you."

The other person had an undisguised kindness about them, and Lin Zhao remembered that the girl's gaze towards him was the most peaceful among all the White Tiger Clan members.

Moreover, the aura emanating from this girl felt very familiar.

"I am Bai Yi of the White Tiger Clan, and also the young master of the White Tiger Clan in this generation."

When Bai Yi was mentioned, Lin Zhao understood.

"Have we had contact in the spiritual realm?"

Bai Yi gave an awkward laugh.

At that time, she and her brother still looked down on Lin Zhao, this rising star from the lower realm, with a somewhat condescending attitude. At most, they felt that Lin Zhao's appearance and demeanor were very much to their liking, and they were somewhat amused to see how far Lin Zhao could go.
Unexpectedly, after all these years, Lin Zhao has grown to a level that her siblings can only look up to.

“Yes.” Bai Yi nodded.

Lin Zhao waved his hand: "I'm perfectly fine, as you can see now. Do you still intend to fight me?"

Lin Zhao's reaction made the Vermilion Bird Clan captain's eyes flash.

Given Lin Zhao's temperament, this shouldn't be her reaction. Could it be...?

Bai Yi seemed to sense the change in the Vermilion Bird Clan captain's aura, turned his head and gave him a light glare. The Vermilion Bird Clan captain was somewhat unconvinced, but in terms of raw strength, he was no match for Bai Yi's vice-captain—Bai Qi, the former captain of the White Tiger Clan. Therefore, he could only endure Bai Yi's glare.

"In that case, we were overthinking it. The outcome of our battle with the young master is already clear, so there's no need for another one."

Lin Zhao nodded: "Then you can go."

This time, not only Bai Yi, but also Bai Qi and the Vermilion Bird Clan Captain were stunned. The Black Tortoise Clan Captain said, "Aren't you going to ask us for some spoils of war?"

Lin Zhao was speechless. Although she didn't usually act like a good person, she wasn't the kind of vicious person who would plunder every last bit of her.

"In the desolate and evil realm, you're lucky if what you have can keep you alive. Why would I ask you for spoils of war?"

Lin Zhao said, "Get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi bowed to Lin Zhao and readily led his team away.

The captain of the Vermilion Bird Clan gave Lin Zhao a deep look, said nothing more, and left with his men.

Lin Zhao looked at the last Xuanwu clan captain who hadn't left: "You still want to fight me?"

The Xuanwu clan captain shook his head: "Zhu Linan has a very strong spiritual sense, and he's petty and vindictive. He probably sensed that something was wrong with you, and he'll cause you trouble."

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow: "What does this have to do with you?"
