Chapter 713: Another Ally (1/2)

To King Hong who had seen minster Fu Delun for a long time, he knew the nature of the man. He also knew that the man would have never acted like this before. A sudden change like this could only be attributed to a few things.

Either it was that the man was an imposter or that he was being controlled, just like Lin Mu had said.

”King Hong, perhaps we should still confirm this first.” Adviser Liu asked.

”Go ahead, check the royal repository.” King Hong replied before looking at Lin Mu and the other two disciples. ”I believe you all can hold him?” he asked.

It was now that Lin Mu spoke.

”Oh, he won't move anymore.” Lin Mu said as he moved towards Fu Delun and pushed him back with one finger.

~THUD~

The man helplessly fell on his back and did not react at all. His expression was stuck in a strange daze and his eyes were glazed over.

”He'll stay in this state for a couple of hours. You don't need to worry anymore.” Lin Mu explained.

While there were many questions arising in the minds of King Hong and the others, they knew it was best to process and not think too much. Lin Mu had certainly used a skill that was beyond them, and they didn't want to pry into his secrets for the fear of offending him.

Lin Mu's might was already established by now and there was no need for them to test it beyond this.

King Hong sat back down on his throne and wondered where was it that he had gone wrong. He questioned himself if he had noticed all this earlier perhaps none of this might have happened.

Lin Mu, who looked at the perplexed expression on the king's face, guessed what he was thinking.

”Is King Hong wondering how all this happened?” Lin Mu questioned.

”How did you know?” King Hong raised his brows in surprise.

”It is not hard to guess. With Gu Yao… a lot of people have the same reactions. That is just how he operates. One day everything will be fine, then a few days later you would find people betraying you and everything flipping around.

That is how Gu Yao controls people and causes devastation.” Lin Mu answered.

~Sigh~

King Hong sighed and didn't know what to make of this. He waited for Adviser Liu to appear and just kept on looking at the minister, whom he knew very well.

”Your majesty!” Adviser Liu's voice could soon be heard from the side.

In his hand were several documents, and a troubled expression was also on his face.

”Looks like… what brother Lin Mu said is true.” Adviser Liu stated.

”Let me take a look myself.” King Hong said as he took the documents in his hands.

He went through them one by one and saw the stamps of approval on them. The more he read, the more infuriated he got.
