Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2437  Power Of The Black Ying Empire

The Emperor and the rest of the Imperial Court had already been made aware of the Chimeric Beasts as well as the strange Yin Nascent Soul Worms that Yao Changying had managed to create.

It was one of the first things that the Crown Prince Feng Shun had related to his father.

The knowledge about this was certainly shocking to the Emperor. He had known about the Chimeras due to his position and knew how dangerous they could be, but had never expected that there were such Chimeras in the Rust Sky world too.

Even if the Bridge Plane was not connected to the Rust Sky World directly right now, it was still part of its territory.

He was also told about the Yin Heart Puppets, and about their presence in the Land of Exile within the Sea of Muxuan. It was their presence that made him extremely alarmed, as it meant that if they could exist there, there was a high chance that more such places might exist with their presence. As such, he had expended a significant amount of resources in searching for locations like these.

Though so far, there had been little to no success with it. As such, they had now been looking into old documents that might point them to such places, or just information about the Demonic Tribes.

But it was quite hard, as all this had happened a long time ago, and since information about the demons was limited due to the purge in the past, they couldn't find it in the usual places.

In fact, the only place that had any proper libraries with such information was actually in the Holy Topaz Dynasty as it had been in existence for a long time. But when the Emperor asked the Holy Topaz Emperor to find them, they were shocked to find out that all these books and documents had already disappeared.

Investigating it more led to the Holy Topaz Emperor finding out that all these documents had long since been taken away by Yao Changying. As such, their investigation had hit another major obstacle.

The more they discussed the more Lin Mu grew alarmed. 'To think things would get this bad…' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Though it's also strange that Yao Changying has not made a move personally either.' He found out that the woman had actually not been seen since the day Lin Mo fought her.

All her activities had been done through proxies.

"Right now our main targets other than Yao Changying are her Generals and her Elite Captains." Crown Prince Feng Shun revealed.

"Who are they?" Lin Mu asked.

"Her Generals are the strongest individuals she's 'raised'. There are four of them and all of them are at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm." Crown Prince Feng Shun revealed.

"That strong?" Lin Mu himself had killed several Seventh Tribulation Realm beings so far, but that was in the Bridge Plane.

It was different from killing human cultivators who had better intelligence and could use more techniques and work with others.

"Even the Elite Captains are all between Fifth to Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm. Though their numbers are higher and there's at least thirty of them that we know of." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "But some of the information Qiao De and Lady Kang have found out says that there may be as many as twice that amount." He added.

"Thats definitely a lot of them." Lin Mu furrowed his brows. "And I'm guessing they can all use the Withering Dao Energy?" "Of course. That's what has made them so much of a threat." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded.

"If they were just normal cultivators, I myself would have wiped them all out." Emperor Feng said. "But their strange techniques and the Withering Dao Energy makes it so that fighting them is very difficult for us. Plus, if any of us Emperors go to fight them, they do not hesitate to simply detonate." He added.

"Yeah, the Huiqing Emperor is currently injured due to that." Ziran answered. "We met him earlier too." "How bad is it?" Lin Mu asked.

"He's lost a leg." Daoist Chu said with a serious expression.

"Even a Transcendent Lost against them…" Lin Mu muttered. "But wait, whom did he fight?" he asked.

"One of the general and a group of troops. The general and all the troops surrounded him and detonated themselves." Ziran answered. "The Emperor managed to get away but not without injuries. His body also got infected with the Withering Dao Energy and it's why he couldn't heal his leg. Before it could get worse, he cut it off and forcefully purged all the energy from his body." He explained.

"It's good that the Huiqing Emperor is a Wood And Water elemental cultivator. It allowed him the best chance to survive it." Emperor Feng added. "That's also why Monk Hushu accompanied them. His Buddhist Techniques can also help clear it." Lin Mu nodded knowing that's why Crown Princess Shang and Ziran had managed to resist the Withing Dao Energy better in the Bridge Plane. Monk Hushu had also been great help, since he had managed to expel the energy from Lin Mu's body when they had encountered the very first Yin Nascent Soul Maggot.

"Has there been any methods devised to purge it yet?" Lin Mu asked next.

"Unfortunately, we can only purge it forcefully. There is no systematic counter to it." Emperor Feng shook his head. "Though we have managed to figure out a few methods to resist it." He added.

"What are they?" Lin Mu inquired.

"There are some Talismans and Alchemical pills that can help with it." It was Lady Kang who spoke this time. "I've been utilizing some of the Kang Clan's assets as well as the Dao Wind Empires experts to make them." She revealed.

"I thank you for your help." Emperor Feng replied. "The Kang Clan's assets have been incredibly important in finding out the prevention methods." The man said with gratitude.

Lin Mu could understand why, as Lady Kang had a lot of resources in her storage treasures just like him. As such, the chances of finding something viable were much higher. Once they found the right materials, the Empire could then use their wealth and sources to manufacture them en masse.

Lin Mu continued to discuss and learned that there had been different tasks that his companions had been doing all this time.

Daoist Chu, Ziran and Monk Hushu were mostly going around doing different missions as directed by Crown Prince Feng Shun.

Their group was well built as they could cover different tasks with their individual expertise. Daoist Chu had his formations, Ziran had his incredible experience as well as his knowledge about the Demonic Tribes and finally Monk Hushu was a Buddhist Monk and could help clear and resist the Withering Dao Energies.

And on top of that, all of them were skilled fighters too.

Lady Kang on the other hand, was using her business acumen to handle the logistics and information gathering in the Dao Wind Empire. Upon learning who she was, Emperor Feng had all but granted her an entire ministry and special authority, allowing her to run things on her own. Normally this would be incredibly inappropriate and almost dangerous for an empire, but Emperor Feng knew she was no normal individual.

Even if he considered their positions, Lady Kang was actually no bit inferior.

Emperor Feng might rule the strongest empire in the Rust Sky world, but Lady Kang and the Great Kang auction house sold and bought such empires along with entire worlds.

As such, there was no one more qualified than her to run such a department. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Of course, she was also being assisted by Min Ju, who was also more qualified than some of the ministers they had. Elder Hu on the other hand, had been guarding Lady Kang and was also her main 'messenger' for anything official. She would often be absent from meetings, thus Elder Hu would be her proxy there.

Crown Princess Shang had been helping the Alchemists and the Herbalists of the Empire in growing the herbs that were needed to make the pills that helped resist the Withering Dao Energy before and had even gone on some missions before.

But the recent incidents of assassinations had made Crown Prince Feng Shun to keep her isolated for her protection.

Lin Mu was quite surprised by the fact that she had been attacked even in the Imperial Capital. The price on her head also confirmed the fact that Yao Changying most certainly held a heavy grudge against her.

This was due to the fact that she was the only one amongst them that had a bounty on her head, despite the fact that everyone had opposed Yao Changying. Finally, Qiao De was gathering intelligence and using his connections with the Black Candle Pavilion and other organizations that dealt with it. In fact, he had been their main source of intel so far, since the Black Candle Pavilion had branches within the eight Kingdom alliance too.
