Chapter 669 - A Compiled Report
With Mu Niu’s breakthrough, Lin Mu was assured that the Mu clan would be fine for the time being, even if he was not there. While Nascent soul realm cultivators were what Gu Yao had many, it was still not possible for him to just send any random one to target someone.
Especially in areas that were not fully under his control. If he did so carelessly, he would only invite the ire and attention of the ruling power of that region, which might spiral out into him getting revealed to the world.
After all, one must remember that even after the blood tide happened and he put the blame on Lin Mu the one who got the fame of repelling the blood tide was Wu Xun. Even then, Gu Yao did not want to reveal himself to the world and wanted to stay hidden.
Silently gaining power while controlling the great powers of the world, such was his plan. The emperor of the Great Zhou Empire was already sick and the court officials were now starting to get worried about it.
The emperor himself was a cultivator and was at the Nascent Soul realm, but despite this he had become sick. This troubled the official to no end, as an illness capable of making someone of this level sick wasn’t something easily dealt with.
While the royal physicians were doing their best in finding a cure to this, the official had already been deliberating on other options. The Empress though, has been prodding the officials to ask the Rainbow pill sect for their help.
If there was a sect that was said to be the top in alchemical pills in this world, then it was none other than the Rainbow pill sect. The only reason why they were not the overall top sect in the world was that they focused more on the field of alchemy and pill refinement.
This was the entire report that had been compiled by Jingming Shang and Miss Fen after collecting the information from their links.
Lin Mu had been reading it all day and had gathered these important points from this. And the reason why he had asked them to compile this was to see if they could pick allies from these powers.
With the current power they had, it would be impossible for them to resist Gu Yao for long.
"What do you think?" Lin Mu questioned the man sitting to his right.
"Hmm... the Long cloud alliance seems like the obvious choice since they are in direct opposition to the Zither Wind alliance. Any of the top three sects would be the best choice, but they are far too conceited to even believe the Gu clan can make a return and the Northern Tribes infiltration." Jing Luo answered.
"Indeed... plus, I am currently wanted by the top sects. While they might not recognize me at this moment, they definitely will once we actually go to them for the alliance proposal." Lin Mu replied.
Jing Luo was deep in thought after hearing this and wondered what might be the more reasonable choice.
"The top sects can be convinced, but to convince them it would need someone that can match their level and talk to them at the same strength." Jing Luo spoke after thinking for a bit.
"Indeed. If only we could get your grandfather to come out, all of it would work." Lin Mu spoke.
