The corpses that were just brought belonged to the minister of war and the minister of commerce. Both were important positions in the royal court and had a lot of influence. If one wanted to control a kingdom, having control of just the king wasn't enough, as these two could still oppose him to some level.

It would make sense if Gu Yao had them under his control too, perhaps.

"Put them here." Lin Mu gestured to the workers who were carrying the corpses.

The royal advisers all looked on anxiously while Lin Mu checked the corpses. After about five minutes, Lin Mu's brows furrowed, only pushing the anxiety of those men further high.

"Is it the same?" Wu Hei asked.

"Yes… it is far more apparent in these two." Lin Mu replied, before gesturing to Wu Hei. "Come."

Wu Hei walked closer and followed Lin Mu's directions as to where the traces were. Wu Hei himself had studied the effects of the Human Controlling Blood curse greatly since he wanted to heal his mother, and could sense its presence.

But now that the host of it had died, the presence of the Human Controlling Blood Curse was rapidly fading. Only those with spirit sense as strong and sharp as Lin Mu could sense it at this point.

But with his guidance, Wu Hei managed to sense the traces as well.

~Sigh~

"It really was that." Wu Hei let out a sigh. "This was all due to the work of Gu Yao. We now have confirmation of it. Let it be known to all," He ordered.

"Y-yes, minister Wu!" The royal advisers hurriedly replied.

Right now, there were very few people left in the royal court who held any authority to control it entirely and manage the situation. But with how things had gone and the unexpected deaths, the other ministers were scared into hiding.

Even the princes were useless and had all left the capital overnight. Some also had a fear of being accused of assassination.

"What are you next orders, Minister Wu? With the royal family in disorder, we do not have anyone to take the lead anymore." One of the royal advisers spoke.

"Yes, and since they left the city in times of distress, according to the laws of inheritance that are hereby debarred from contesting the rights." Another minister added.

Wu Hei rubbed his forehead, feeling like this was gonna be another headache for him.
