Chapter 2505  Clues To Target

Everyone of importance was gathered in the Imperial Court as the information was announced. The news was heavy for all those that heard it.

"She really got it?" Ziran asked. "It is basically confirmed. The details match what Daoist Lin Mu obtained from the shrine before." Commander Dui showed them on a large formation screen. "It was an indigo wisp that had been sealed in the ruins below the city." He added.

"No one knew about the ruins?" Lin Mu questioned.

"None." Commander Dui replied. "The city was located more than two kilometer underground. The lowest anyone had scanned the ground was nine hundred meters at which the aquifers of the city were present. After that no one bothered to check." He explained.

"Hmm… The history of the Rust Sky World is quite tumultuous if we go back a couple hundred thousand years. It isn"t unusual for there to be a lack of records from back then." Emperor Feng stated.

"What kind of ruins were they?" Lady Kang asked, realizing that there was some potential there. "Demonic like before?"

"No." Commander Dui answered. "It seemed to be in a similar architecture to the Huiqing Empire and but had old writing that was quite outdated. At least that"s all they could see before the place was destroyed once again." He added. "Huiqing Empire"s architecture?" Lady Kang furrowed her brows. "So it wasn"t the Demonic Tribes that contained the Soul Fragment this time." She muttered.

"Since there had been multiple tries that the Withered Spirit Daoist has tried this, it wouldn"t be surprising that different civilizations have attempted in stopping her." Lin Mu replied. "At the very least we now know that it wasn"t a singular effort." He added.

"Daoist Lin Mu is correct, we need to think of the efforts they took in the past to prevent a situation like this today." Monk Hushu spoke up

But the monks words served little than to motivate them, for they still needed solid solutions to the problem.

"How"s the state of the Huiqing Emperor? How quickly can he return to the fight?" Lin Mu asked. "He"s been infected by the Withering Energy by a direct attack from Yao Changying so is still trying to purge it. The branch of the Guardian beast temple is helping him, but they still need time." Emperor Feng replied. "So the Huiqing Empire is left without a Transcendent…" Ziran said furrowing his brows.

It was a concerning thing as it meant that the greatest defense an empire could have was no missing. In normal times this wouldn"t matter much as there would be other experts strong enough to stave off most problems.

But Yao Changying and the Black Ying Empire were nothing but that. The access to the Chimeric Beasts meant that there was basically an endless number of cannon fodder that could a.s.sault the empire.

And all these were ones that could greatly damage the infrastructure as well as the environment. Not to mention the energy from the Yin Nascent Soul Maggots would infect even stronger experts and needed a lot of energy to purge.

If one didn"t have the wood element or strong cultivation, things would be be very for them "That makes things difficult. Since Yao Changying now has the upper hand in Huiqing Empire she has a lot more time to attack the other continents." Lin Mu stated.

"That"s what we expect too." Commander Dui replied. "But considering the fact that she is after Soul Fragments we expect that she"ll be going after the Holy Topaz Dynasty next." He added.

"That"s probably right." Lin Mu nodded. "How"s the offensive going there?" he asked.

"The Holy Topaz Empire is holding out a lot better than the Huiqing Empire thankfully. Plus the Holy Topaz Emperor is absolutely furious about it all and as such not slacking at all.

He takes it all as a personal offense that his very niece is trying something like this and does not intend to let her off at all." Commander Dui replied.

Hearing that Lin Mu couldn"t help but let out a breath of relief.

"That"s good. There"s no way she can be considered normal at all." Lin Mu replied. "The Holy Topaz Emperor has also given freehand in eliminating all Black Ying Empire people they suspect. As such the progress there has been limited for the most part." Commander Dui replied.

"Limited? So there"s someplace its not the same?" Lin Mu asked.

"The northern region for the Holy Topaz Continent is not the same. They have the full influence of the Black Fish Islands where Yao Changying"s power is the greatest. They have already gained a firm foothold there and there isn"t much that can be done there to stop them." Commander Dui answered.

"Can"t the Emperor himself stop them?" Daoist Chu questioned. "If I recall correctly the Black Fish Islands aren"t that far from the Capital city to be safe." He added.

"They aren"t but the Emperor is busy in dealing with the constant barrage of the Chimeric Beasts as well as the Yin Nascent Soul Beasts that are coming from the south.

The numbers are far too dense for him to be free. Especially since the death of each Yin Nascent Soul worm can spread enough baleful energy for a hundred kilometer area to be corrupted.

 The Emperor had to specifically cleanse that every time he fought them." Commander Dui explained

"That does make things tough." Lady Kang stated.

"Any clues on the location that Yao Changing is aiming for?" Monk Hushu asked this time.

"Nothing yet. There is a chance that she is still at a loss for it." Commander Dui replied.

"That is good. It means we still have the time to act against it." Emperor Feng stated.

"Indeed, we need to determine where the location is this time too." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.

"I think I might be able to do that." Lady Kang suddenly spoke. "You can?" Lin Mu asked with raised brows.

"Pyxis can." Lady Kang stated.
