Walker Of The Worlds

"What's the situation here in the capital? And what about your father?" Lin Mu questioned after Wu Hei had calmed down.

"The capital has a lot of spies of Gu Yao. Mostly in the form of disciples of various sects. There are a few that are being controlled by the curse but most of them are here on the orders of their sects.

Overall the situation is in a strange equilibrium but it can be changed at any moment. As for my father Wu Xun, ever since he was promoted to the position of a court minister, his influence has only grown.

He has been using this power to establish various deals that are likely to be helpful to Gu Yao. I haven't been able to gain much on his end due to being greatly restricted. He hasn't been letting anyone other than Gu Yao himself get an idea of what he's doing either.

And now that my mother is under the control of Gu Yao as well, the slight opposition that he had from the old powers that supported my mother have also faded away. Her power as the Zhen clan's final member is useless as well." Wu Hei answered.

"Hmm… looks like we will have to take a different approach. Have you thought of a plan? It doesn't matter if it is not possible now, we may be able to change that in the future." Lin Mu asked.

"There are indeed some plans that I made. I reckoned that since we are unable to directly oppose Gu Yao for now, the most I could do was to delay his rise. I was sabotaging his supply chains and saving the sacrifices, but that hasn't been that effective.

Another thing that I wanted to do was to alert the top sects to his existence. This would have been easy since they already knew the Northern Tribes are acting up, but his hold over the other sects is far too much to do it efficiently. I tried something like that, but it was stopped by his servants before the proof could even reach the top sects." Wu Hei replied.

"Crippling his supply chains may really be the way. I doubt Gu Yao will be able to hide the fact that the various elders of the sects are being controlled for long. Like you said before, the top sects were already suspicious of the many sects that were joining under the Zither wind alliance.
