Chapter 797 Phoenix Venerable's Essence Blood
However, no matter how angry he was or how much he disliked Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao was not like other young people who would tolerate his attempts to extort money.

At this age, the cultivation level of a Celestial King is a mark of a young master of a powerful, overlord-level force. The fact that Lin Zhao, who came from the lower realm, could reach this level truly made him tremble.

However, although they dare not openly provoke Lin Zhao, they can still do some underhanded things behind the scenes.

Thinking of his future plans, a smile flashed across the eyes of the young master of Lingxiao Sect. When he looked at Lin Zhao again, there was no longer any anxiety, but rather a sense of pride and anticipation.

Lin Zhao walked back to the waiting area of ​​the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and heard Huang Qing ask him, "Young Master, when did you completely offend the Young Master of the Lingxiao Sect? I've noticed him looking at you with ill intent."

Lin Zhao cracked his knuckles: "I slightly offended him before, and just now... I provoked him a little."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yan and Huang Yu took a deep breath: "Young Master, you mean you provoked him?"

Previously, let alone provoking this young master, even just saying a few words to him would have made the young Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan worry about incurring his wrath.

Now Lin Zhao actually dares to provoke us directly?
"Why not?" Lin Zhao countered. "What did that guy do to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan before?"

Huang Qing said, "Because of the restrictions imposed by the elders of the Lingxiao Sect, he doesn't dare to do anything directly to the younger generation of the Tianhuang Clan. However... over the years, he has made a lot of trouble for our Tianhuang Clan by both openly and secretly, and made sarcastic remarks."

Lin Zhao could understand; after all, given the other party's hostility towards the woman, it was impossible for them not to do something to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

"As long as nothing substantial is done, it's fine."

Lin Zhao looked at the series of messages her second brother had sent her on the Heavenly Mirror. The other messages were fine, but one of them made her realize something.

That is the Dragon Phoenix Empire's chief imperial merchant confirming ownership.

Of the three imperial merchants, Lin Zhao's gaze fell on the Worry-Free Merchant Guild in the middle.

She remembered that when she first arrived in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, she borrowed money from this young man who was running the Worry-Free Merchant Guild.

When Zhao Wuyan joined the Phoenix Medicine Sect, his strength was negligible compared to Ji Wantang, his final opponent. He was new to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane and knew nothing about it, so he relied on the Zhao family's kindness.

The events of that year are still vivid in my mind, as if they happened just yesterday.

By the time she came to her senses, a quarter of an hour had passed.

She thought for a moment and then replied to her brother.

"I own shares in the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce; you can choose to have them."

Back at the Dragon Phoenix Empire's Imperial Palace, Lin Yi fell silent upon seeing the news. He then dismissed the other two chamber of commerce presidents.

The two chamber of commerce presidents were also smart men. Seeing the carefree king's actions, they knew they had no hope. They could only look at Zhao Wuyan with a sigh for a while before leaving with some regret.

Zhao Wuyan also understood why Lin Yi had kept him behind.

"Do you know the Emperor?" Lin Yi asked with some curiosity.

Zhao Wuyan nodded: "We met in the Zhao family's territory. At that time, the Emperor was still in the fusion stage."

Lin Yi was somewhat stunned when he heard about the fusion period.

It seemed that ever since he saw Lin Zhao again, she had always been a powerful figure capable of standing on her own, with wealth, beauty, and power all under her control. Although he had heard about the hardships his sister had endured along the way, he knew little about them.

Hearing that his younger sister had been so weak back then, he couldn't help but be curious: "What exactly happened back then? Could you tell me everything?"

Zhao Wuyan nodded.

……

Lin Zhao returned to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and saw the clan leader sitting quietly beside the furnace. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the clan leader say, "Young friend Lin Zhao, would you mind sitting with this old woman for a while?"

Lin Zhao thought for a moment and then sat down next to her.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief looked at the towering furnace before him: "For over a thousand years since I took over as clan chief, I have used every means and scheme to try to restore the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to its former glory, but it has all been in vain."

Lin Zhao listened silently as the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief recounted the hardships and difficulties the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had overcome over the years, as well as some of her own insights.

Finally, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief laughed and said, "You must be tired of listening to this old woman complain for so long, right?"

Lin Zhao shook his head: "What the clan leader said was all experience and insights. Lin Zhao's father was also once a clan leader. In the beginning, I was actually trained as a clan leader as well."

Not only had she served as a member of the Lin family, but even before Lin Zhao's talent had diminished, the Lin family had always strictly demanded that she meet the standards of a future family head. Therefore, Lin Zhao naturally understood how difficult it was to manage a large clan. She couldn't yet figure out the purpose of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief's words to her, but she was definitely not annoyed.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief said, "To be honest, before this, I only wanted to use you to help the Heavenly Phoenix Clan rise to power, and after we rose to power, I planned to abandon you."

Lin Zhao nodded: "It's human nature, I can understand."

After all, Lin Zhao himself felt somewhat guilty about being the young master of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief asked with a wry smile, "You silly girl, when you hear that this old woman is using you like this, you really don't have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or resentment?"

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "Because I had thought about this possibility before, and the clan leader did give me compensation for what I did."

The clan chief quickly remembered what reward he had given Lin Zhao: "You mean Qu Shu? This child is from our Heavenly Phoenix Clan. If he really has the ability, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will not bury him too much."

Lin Zhao said, "But it will still be buried, right? So, we should still thank the clan leader for not burying it."

Over the years, Qu Shu has helped her in so many ways, and Lin Zhao can certainly take it for granted. However, while she takes Qu Shu's help for granted, she should also consider Qu Shu's contributions without regard to anything else.

"...I'm telling you this now not just to express these things." The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief looked Lin Zhao up and down for a while: "Huang Yue, myself, and a few other old guys all feel that you are the most suitable person to inherit all of the Ancestral Phoenix's legacy."

Lin Zhao's eyes flickered.

"Don't tell your wife that you're not interested in this either."

Lin Zhao laughed heartily: "Of course I'm interested in that."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief smiled slightly: "Among the essence blood you brought that day, there was actually Heavenly Phoenix essence blood at the Immortal Venerable level. However, Heavenly Phoenix essence blood at the Immortal Venerable level can hide itself and be indistinguishable from ordinary Heavenly Emperor level Heavenly Phoenix essence blood. Apart from the direct descendants of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, no one else can sense the difference."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment. This Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Phoenix Clan blood essence actually knew how to disguise itself? Had it truly become a spirit?!

"And this is what we've discussed and decided to use entirely on you."
