Chapter 465: Reassurance (1/2)
Most of the assumptions that Senior Xukong had made turned out to be true and Lin Mu was thankful it had not gone beyond what they had expected. If it truly did, then they would have been unable to do anything.
Thankfully now that they knew the situation at hand, they would be able to make a plan that was appropriate for it and it would hopefully work.
”Brother Lin Mu, Gu Yao has also reached the Dao Shell realm himself due to the support from all the resources of the cultivation sects and the blood sacrificial. Did you master tell if this will affect his ability to control others with the human controlling blood curse?” Wu Hei questioned.
”Yes. My master already thought of this and told me that even if Gu Yao reaches the Dao Shell realm, he would be limited in his controlling ability. We can roughly consider that he has about ten Dao Shell realm cultivators under his control for now.
And if he wants to control more, he would need a lot of blood essence to use the Human controlling blood curse to control those that are at the Dao Shell realm. But if he wants to do the same with those at the Dao Treading Realm, he would need to be at the Dao Treading realm as well.” Lin Mu answered.
~phew~
”That means the top three sects are safe for now. They each have their respective Dao treading realm cultivators who will prevent them from being controlled.” Wu Hei took a breath of relief.
”Indeed. But we can't drop our guard here. There is still the wild card which is the Northern Tribes. What more information do you have on them?” Lin Mu asked.
”Honestly, I don't have much. Even Gu Yao himself does not interact with them as much thus we have no idea of what they're planning. The two times that I did see them speak with Gu Yao, they were merely discussing about more resources and nothing more.” Wu Hei replied.
”I see… what about the blood sacrifices? I know you have been trying to divert them.” Lin Mu said.
Wu Hei seemed a bit surprised upon hearing this but just attribute it to Lin Mu's skill of hiding and disappearing, whatever it was.
”I have been able to free a few of them by changing the location of deliveries. Though not all of them were able to survive it. But those that did are willing to join our cause as they want to take revenge for their companions as well.” Wu Hei stated.
”How exactly are you doing it?” Lin Mu asked.
”Well, I simply make it so that the sacrificial cultivators are delivered to a fake location and taken by someone who is disguised as one of Gu Yao's servants. They then pretend to take them. But this does not always work and the ones delivering discover it.
Me and the others have been able to kill those that find out thankfully, to stop this information from getting out. We were able to hide the fact that there are traitors within the ranks, by telling Gu Yao, the cultivators freed themselves somehow and escaped to that location. We pretend that we reached that place to capture them and that is how we justify the change of delivery location.
