"So that's what you meant by him hunting people earlier." Lin Mu now understood.
"Indeed. Little Shrubby has been hunting them with a vengeance. His success has been the greatest among our investigators." Emperor Feng praised. "I see, that's good." He was pleased that Little Shrubby had been helping them. "Though has there been no other methods to verify their condition other than letting them act out?" he asked.
"There is, of course." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "But it is rather intrusive and requires us to check their souls directly." He stated.
Lin Mu could easily see why others wouldn't want something like that to happen to them. "Only those that were suspected to be seriously involved were subjected to this. But it also meant that the other hidden 'agents' went silent and made it harder to sense them." Emperor Feng said. "Though Little Shrubby can sense them through their smell. Which was a great revelation for us as we're trying to train other beasts to do the same." He added.
"How's the progress on that?" Lin Mu asked. "Not good." Ziran answered this time. "Most beasts are afraid of it and can't even be trained to sense the concentrated scent of that curse. And the few that can do that, are those at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm or above. There aren't many Beast Tamers that can control beasts like those." He explained.
"Hmm... I think Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang can do the same." Lin Mu said, remembering how the twins had managed to do it in the Spatial Plane.
"That'll be good. More ways to sense the threats." Emperor Feng was pleased. "Hmm... and I think that's what they are doing now too." Lin Mu said, sensing that all his beasts seem to be wandering the city right now.
Observing this, Lin Mu found it rather shocking, as it showed an uncontrolled growth of Yao Changying's influence.
"What are the other emperors even doing?" Lin Mu couldn't accept such a result. To him, it now seemed like the other two emperors had either been incompetent or indulgent in Yao Changying's work. "It's not their fault either." Emperor Feng spoke this time. "They're facing the same problem as us and are unable to figure out who's under her influence. The Holy Topaz Emperor particularly lost out since three of the Aristocratic Clans of their Dynasty, staged a coup and defected to Yao Changying.
Back then, he didn't know the scope of her control and quickly lost control of the northern region. This was also the main operative region of the Black Fin Island members, but now they're quite wide spread." He explained.
"He didn't think to take his niece seriously?" Lin Mu raised his brows.
"He sure didn't." Crown Princess Shang scoffed. "Now he's paying the price." "The Huiqing Emperor took it seriously right away though, and culled any signs of dissent." Daoist Chu spoke up. "Its why the influence of the Black Ying Empire is spread in small pockets there." He added.
"It's very concerning still." Lin Mu furrowed his brows as several problematic thoughts came to his mind. "But what I don't get is... if she's this problematic, hasn't this problem already escalated to the point where the Temple and the Immortal Court should be involved?" While Lin Mu knew that the Immortal Court didn't usually interfere in the matters of the worlds', the current conflict had already touched upon several things the Immortal Court wouldn't stand for. "That's where our greatest problem comes in." Emperor Feng said as his voice turned heavy. "We don't know how, but Yao Changying has... Sealed all forms of Teleportation Arrays in the Rust Sky World." He finally revealed.
"What!" This was absolutely stunning for Lin Mu, as it was no longer something that could be done by any individual.
"We are essentially trapped here." Lady Kang spoke up. "Indeed. We've already requested for help from the Immortal Court, as well as our other allies." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated, making Lin Mu quite concerned about their very grave situation.
