Chapter 669: A Compiled Report (1/2)

With Mu Niu's breakthrough, Lin Mu was assured that the Mu clan would be fine for the time being, even if he was not there. While Nascent soul realm cultivators were what Gu Yao had many, it was still not possible for him to just send any random one to target someone.

Especially in areas that were not fully under his control. If he did so carelessly, he would only invite the ire and attention of the ruling power of that region, which might spiral out into him getting revealed to the world.

After all, one must remember that even after the blood tide happened and he put the blame on Lin Mu the one who got the fame of repelling the blood tide was Wu Xun. Even then, Gu Yao did not want to reveal himself to the world and wanted to stay hidden.

Silently gaining power while controlling the great powers of the world, such was his plan. The emperor of the Great Zhou Empire was already sick and the court officials were now starting to get worried about it.

The emperor himself was a cultivator and was at the Nascent Soul realm, but despite this he had become sick. This troubled the official to no end, as an illness capable of making someone of this level sick wasn't something easily dealt with.

While the royal physicians were doing their best in finding a cure to this, the official had already been deliberating on other options. The Empress though, has been prodding the officials to ask the Rainbow pill sect for their help.

If there was a sect that was said to be the top in alchemical pills in this world, then it was none other than the Rainbow pill sect. The only reason why they were not the overall top sect in the world was that they focused more on the field of alchemy and pill refinement.

The Sky Precepts sect stayed at the top because they were a relatively balanced sect and dabbled in everything while still managing to stay at the top. They also had a deep background and had plenty of resources left by their ancestors to tide them through centuries and centuries of time.

The Centennial sword sect, on the other hand, was highly focused on increasing their own personal power and relied on the sword arts to do so. It was said that the patriarch of the centennial sword sect was strong enough to fight multiple Dao Treading realm experts on his own.

The fourth sect in the rankings was the Zither wind sect, which had risen to this position due to the alliance that they had formed. While on the surface the alliance was supposed to be an equal share of power, the Zither wind sect being the first, had evidently given him a lot of benefits.

Below them at the fifth position, was none other than the Long Cloud sect, which was the creator of the Long cloud alliance. They were opposed to the Zither wind alliance and had joined up with the sixth and seventh ranked sects to form the Long cloud alliance.

It was only the tenth ranked sect which was now not in an alliance and was also independent, like the top three sects. They were fiercely competing to pull the tenth ranked sect, which was called as the Noon Grass Sect.

The Noon Grass Sect was perhaps the most low key sect of all top sects and was only in the top ten because they were old. People didn't know whether to call them lucky that their sect managed to survive for thousands of years or unlucky that they never managed one of their cultivators to break through to the Immortal Ascension stage.
