Chapter 464: Gu Yaos Influence (1/2)

Upon hearing the name of the Taiji celestial again, Lin Mu couldn't help but want to know more. But knew that this was not the right time for it.

”I understand how you got through it now. How is your Wu Teng? Since you said those related by blood would be able to resist it.” Lin Mu questioned.

”Wu Teng was much more injured by the time I woke up and had been taken away by the disciples of the Tri Cauldron Peony sect to heal. Unlike me, he did not have the Unity Reversal Secrets and thus was unable to break out of the control.

But now that I think of it, that was probably for the best. Because if he really did get free from Gu Yao's control, he would discover the fact that his Human controlling blood curse was less effective on us and restrain us even more.

Since my brother did not have the bloodline of the Shadow Lurk beast either, it would have only been even more difficult for him to hide that he had been freed. Besides, with his personality, I highly doubt that he would have chosen to hide and bide for the time being.

The most likely probability I can think of is that he would have chosen to directly attack Gu Yao and ended up dying to his servants.” Wu Hei answered.

~Sigh~

”Yes, I think that was good, too. But where is he now? I heard that only you, your father and mother are currency living in the capital.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Yes, it's only us three currently living here. From what I've learned, my elder brother is living at the Tri cauldron peony sect along with his wife and has been given a rather high position.

Since he is the link between the sect and the kingdom, he is favored by the king as well. Ironically, ever since Gu Yao started controlling the sects, the ties between the Shuang Qian kingdom and the sects have actually gotten better.

But this has been but a mere facade to hide the fact that all of the controlled sects are involved in human trafficking.” Wu Hei replied.

”How are they gathering people for the sacrifice now?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Now that they have sects on his side, Gu Yao has only gotten more brazen. You must have heard that the mercenaries have left the kingdom, right? Well, that thing is not entirely true. The ones that are still in the kingdom are free and safe, but the ones that decided to leave get captured at the border of the kingdoms.

No one knows about this currently and even the king does not know this.” Wu Hei answered.

”Why hasn't he controlled the king then?” Lin Mu questioned.
