Chapter 2571 Finding Evidence Of Foul Play

Lin Mu's time spent immersed in the memories had lasted far longer than he would have expected.

It couldn't be helped, as the perception of time within his mind was highly skewed. He simply couldn't estimate how much time was passing outside while he was here. Though he did know that time was considerably slower outside compared to within his consciousness.

After all, he was within his own mind, where several limitations of time did not apply.

There were a vast number of memories to sort through, and even if Lin Mu was done with the most informative ones, he still wouldn't know them by heart. It would take a long time for him to truly assimilate them within himself. This was a preventive measure to ensure that his own ego was not influenced by the memories of others. While this did slow the process of assimilation, it was far better than risking the loss of his sense of self.

Toward the end of his exploration, Lin Mu also looked through the memories of Yao Changying to find any critical information that the Empire might need to save their people. After all, remnants of the Black Ying Empire would still be alive, and there were others who had collaborated with them without fully falling under their influence. The Empire also had strong suspicions that Yao Changying's "rebellion" had been supported by external forces. The only question was where this support had originated.

Their initial guess was that Yao Changying had used her influence in the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect to secure resources and backing. But Lin Mu didn't think it would be that obvious.

After all, such a straightforward approach left many avenues for discovery, especially since Yao Changying did not hold total power in the sect. Even as the Daughter of the Sect Patriarch and the heir, she couldn't act without restraint.

If Lin Mu had learned anything about cultivation sects, it was that they often had intricate politics, much like the secular world.

As such, there was frequent opposition to those in power, including the Sect Patriarch. Members of the opposition would seize any opportunity to highlight flaws in the leadership or discredit those affiliated with it. Any overreach by Yao Changying would have drawn attention, as her political rivals would have had a vested interest in seeing her fall.
