Chapter 2438 Intelligence Gathering And Restrictions
Much to Lin Mu's surprise, even if the Eight Kingdom Alliance had been turned into the Black Ying Empire, the Black Candle Pavilion had still managed to survive and run their business successfully. "They actually let an organization like the black Candle pavilion actually run?" Lin Mu hadn't expected that. "They didn't control them?" he asked in doubt.
"We don't know exactly for sure, but Yao Changying's influence over people is not all encompassing. She doesn't use her absolute control over everyone, and only reserves it for the strong individuals. The rest all fall in line as long as she holds the threat of these experts over them.
Though most individuals simply beg for the power she grants them thus there is little for her to worry about controlling them.
Other than thus, even the Black Ying Empire and Yao Changing knows they cannot just shut down all businesses like the Black Candle Pavilion and need them to run their economy and obtain supplies. Though they have surely gained a foothold in these organizations too." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered.
"Officially speaking, Qiao De is no longer affiliated to us and is fully part of the Black Candle Pavilion." Ziran stated. "We never even met him in person to avoid suspicion and he is currently keeping up a facade to obtain as much information as he can." He added.
"Hmm... that's good." Lin Mu could see the advantage in doing it this way.
Not only could they continue to obtain valuable intel, they would also be able to strike when needed and Qiao De could turn things in their favor.
It was good that the man had maintained his previous connections and relations so that they could do this now.
"He's also important to us since there's only a few means of transport between the continents now and safe passage for ships is only granted to a few merchants." Daoist Chu stated.
"You guys went by ship all the way there?" Lin Mu knew just how much the distance between the Huiqing Empire and the Dao Wind Empire was.
"How much is it?" Emperor Feng interjected. "Our empire can provide as many Immortal Qi stones that you might need." He offered.
"It's not that simple." Lin Mu shook his head. "While I would be able to activate the skill, the targeting of the skill isn't exact. The skill only targets a world, and not an exact location on it. As such, since I'm already on the Rust Sky World, I wouldn't be able to go to a specific location within the world." He explained.
"That's a shame... But that doesn't mean that you can't go out right?" Emperor Feng asked next.
"That's right! Can't Daoist Lin Mu go to other worlds and get reinforcements?" Crown Princess Shang asked.
Lin Mu could see the logic in it and also understand why they were so hopeful. To them, the cost of just a large amount of Qi was not a matter as they would use as many stones needed to fuel it. As long as Lin Mu could bring over reinforcement from other worlds, it would foil Yao Changying's plans and break through the 'Teleportation Blockade' she had managed to set up.
But unfortunately for them, there was an additional condition to Warp.
"I can't do that either." Lin Mu shook his head. "I can only teleport to worlds I've been to before." He added.
Hearing that Lin Mu's companions' expressions fell. They all knew that Lin Mu had only been to two worlds, one mortal and one Immortal. The only other option for him to teleport to was the Xiaofan world, but that would do nothing for them.
"That's bad..." Crown Prince Feng Shun let out a sigh.
"It would have been well if the Temple Head was still here. He would've had a solution to the blockade." Emperor Feng shook his head.
"The Temple Head?" Lin Mu recalled that the man was among the only two Spatial experts within the Rust Sky Empire that was also a Transcendent Immortal.
