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

Chapter 95 A Distant Journey, the Imperial Preceptor of Youlan

Su Ye said, "I don't understand."

Even without looking at him, Lin Zhao could feel the probing gaze fixed on him. He could only explain, "His family's affairs were indeed orchestrated by others, which is why the current emperor wants to compensate them."

Su Ye asked again, "How did you know?"

“Oh, I glanced at the letter when he was reading it. His parents gave him some hints, but he probably didn’t understand them. That’s why I asked him to do some more work over the years.”

The family feud must be avenged, but not in this way.

Su Ye said, "Why don't you just say so?"

Lin Zhao said, "Given his personality, if you tell him the truth, he'll just grab a knife and go find the enemy, and in the end, he'll still die. Okay, let's leave his matter here. I have to remind you, there's a cave near the imperial mausoleum, and inside there are hundreds of zombies, all of them quite powerful."

Su Ye said "Oh," and after a moment, added, "Your heart is as sieve-like as a leaf."

After saying that, he realized something was off and quickly added, "That was a compliment."

Lin Zhao smiled slightly, not taking it to heart, but simply increased the speed of his sword flight.

Although we now have a lead in investigating the matter, we still haven't found out where the cultivators from the South China Sea Academy and other sects in the cultivation world have gone.

This indicates that some things are still happening secretly on the Ancestral Dragon Continent.

It was already night when the two arrived at the imperial mausoleum.

Considering the zombies' fighting strength at night, Lin Zhao decided to rest for the night first.

Su Ye was a little down because she hadn't expected to spend another good night in Congo and have to sleep in the middle of nowhere.

However, this slight disappointment completely vanished amidst the aroma of the roasted wild rabbit that Lin Zhao had hunted.

Lin Zhao gave him most of the food, used some for herself, set up a barrier and pitched the tent, saying, "You keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll keep watch for the second half."

Su Ye said, "There's already a barrier, why do we still need to keep watch here?"

Lin Zhao crawled into the tent, leaving behind only the words: "We are not guarding against enemy attacks, but against any possible unusual situations."

Su Ye nodded, though she didn't quite understand.

As he watched the campfire burn in front of him, his head drooped lower and lower.

However, the abnormal situation that Lin Zhao mentioned did indeed occur.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ye shook Lin Zhao awake.

“There was crying.”

Lin Zhao listened carefully for a while and indeed heard the sound of a child crying.

Where did this child's crying come from in this desolate wilderness?

The two exchanged a glance, drew their weapons, and headed toward the source of the crying.

The closer they got to the source of the crying, the colder and more damp it felt. A small blue flame appeared in Lin Zhao's palm, dispelling the chill from his body.

"Girl, run! This is the Ghost Infant Binding Formation!"

As soon as her grandmother's reminder echoed in her mind, Lin Zhao grabbed Su Ye and ran without hesitation.

Following her grandmother's instructions, Lin Zhao only released Su Ye after running more than a hundred miles.

"What's wrong? Aren't we going to check?"

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous to check at night. Let's wait until daytime."

As she spoke, she asked her grandmother in her heart, "Grandma, how can we break this Ghost Infant Binding Formation?"

"This formation is an ancient formation that hasn't been seen for tens of thousands of years. The people of the Ancestral Dragon Continent actually put it in the mortal realm. No wonder those cultivators in the Enlightenment stage fell before. However, this Ghost Shadow Binding Formation is an evil formation that was refined using thousands of newborn babies from mortals as a catalyst. This formation can infinitely strengthen its resentful body by devouring the flesh and blood of living people and cultivators."

At this point, Lin Zhao and her grandmother understood why those corpses could advance so quickly—it wasn't just the nourishment from dragon energy, but also from the nourishment from those cultivators. "This is utterly insane!" Lin Zhao clenched her fists.

"A truly complete Ghost Infant Binding Formation is something that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can't do anything about, but this is just a fragmented formation. I really do have a way to break it."

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's take action tomorrow!"

Cut off their path to turning into zombies; only by eradicating their roots can we effectively fight the minions.

After explaining the Ghost Infant Binding Array to Su Ye, Su Ye asked, "Won't the two of us be used as nourishment in the future?"

Lin Zhao said, "If you fight me one-on-one, it's a bit dangerous, but if we go together, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Su Ye took a deep breath: "Are we really not going to ask our elders for help?"

The thought that the real Ghost Infant Binding Formation could even kill a Nascent Soul cultivator made him a little uneasy.

Lin Zhao agreed and sent a message to Teacher Hanyan using the Heavenly Mirror.

Su Ye also reported the entire situation on her side to her elders.

After the two discussed and decided on the route for tomorrow's operation, Su Ye asked, "Which faction are you a disciple of? I think you're about my age, right?"

To achieve such a high level of enlightenment at such a young age is something even top-tier forces couldn't cultivate; it could only be done by those three giants or holy families.

"Teacher Hanyan said we're partners," Lin Zhao said, handing him some dry rations.

Su Ye took the dry rations and was shocked when she heard Lin Zhao's words: "You're the Lin Zhao that Grandpa was talking about?!"

He had heard that Lin Zhao, this new queen, was said to be incredibly beautiful, with a face that could rival the beauty of fish and geese and shame the moon and flowers.

Is this what they mean by "fish sinking, geese falling, moon hiding, and flowers blushing"?!
At this moment, Su Ye began to have deep doubts about her own aesthetic sense.

Or has he been in the secret realm for too long all these years, and the aesthetic sense of the outside world has become so strange?
Grandpa also said that this was the Daoist partner he had carefully chosen for himself...

Although Su Ye wasn't one to judge people by their appearance, but...

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhao asked mischievously, "Doesn't it look like it?"

Su Ye remained silent, but still lied and replied, "There are some discrepancies, but let's continue with the mission."

Lin Zhao chuckled: "It's almost midnight, you go and rest, I'll keep watch."

Although the girl wasn't particularly pretty, her bright, moon-like eyes were incredibly lively when she smiled. Su Ye's heart skipped a beat as he looked at her, and his face flushed. He turned his head and walked into the tent.

He sat up as soon as I lay down: "You didn't get much rest the first half of the night either..."

Lin Zhao had already given him a quiet gesture, and Su Ye immediately quieted down.

Lying in the tent still filled with the girl's fragrance, he suddenly felt that having such a Daoist companion was quite nice.

Lin Zhao had no idea what the other person was thinking. At that moment, she was adding firewood to the campfire, her mind filled with thoughts of the Ancestral Dragon Continent.

She felt a sense of familiarity with Youyuan, whom she had met that day. He had long silver hair, green eyes, and a similar appearance to Ning Wengui. There was also the invitation from Empress Youlan.

Something flashed through Lin Zhao's mind, and he immediately thought of someone.

Yulan National Master.

Youyuan is that unassuming Imperial Preceptor of Youlan!
What is Ning Wengui's relationship with him? What role did Empress Youlan play in this?
It is said that after her engagement with Ning Wengui was broken off, the empress never appeared in public again, citing seclusion as the reason.

"Now that this matter is settled, the Yulan Empire must investigate it thoroughly."

After processing the information at hand, Lin Zhao's gaze hardened once more.

The affairs of the Ancestral Dragon Continent concern her eldest brother, so she cannot afford to be careless.
