Lin Mu listened to their words as his concern continued to grow.
"In fact, the very first thing I did upon returning was to contact the Immortal Court about the situation and even threw in the fact that I had the Immortal Paragon ring with to make them consider it as the highest priority." Crown Prince Feng Shun emphasized.
"But they simply cannot co to the Rust Sky World." Lin Mu now understood.
"Yes… without the Interworld Teleportation Arrays, it would take a very long ti for any help to arrive. Even with the special fast ships of the Immortal Court, the nearest Teleportation Array they can take is still very far away." Emperor Feng said as he controlled the map and changed its scale.
~SHUA~
Now instead of just showing the Rust Sky world, it showed Four different Solar systems and and the extended area of the Space.
Lin Mu could see Four particular worlds highlighted among the solar systems. He could recognize their nas as the first of them was the Rust Sky world, the next was the Three Aster World, the third was the Zhuang World and finally the one na that he didn't know of was the Misty Sea World.
Lin Mu knew of the Three Aster World, as it was the Crown Princess's ho world and she had told him a decent amount about it. The Zhuang World on the other hand, was the world were the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect was from and was the ho world of Yao Changying.
But the Fourth World was rather peculiar, as it seed to be mostly composed of water. 'An Ocean World?' Lin Mu had known about them as even the Xiao Fan world had an Ocean World near it in the past which had only left behind a frozen remnant now.
As he looked at the map, Emperor Feng continued to control it and focused on one of the world.
"Let's say they use the Teleportation Array of our closest world, which would be the Three Aster World. It would still take reinforcents at least a hundred years to arrive." Emperor Feng revealed much to his shock.
"A hundred years? So there's still seventy five years left for their arrival?" Lin Mu calculated.
"Perhaps even more." Crown Princess Shang added. "The Teleportation Arrays of the Three Aster World might not be able to handle the level of reinforcent we need so there might be delay in their arrival." "Hmm… and I'm guessing the Zhuang World and Misty Sea World cannot help either." Lin Mu said. "Is the Zhuang World or rather the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect part of the Black Ying Empire too?" he inquired.
"No." Emperor Feng answered. "Rather, they had no idea of her involvent and are currently assisting us. I originally had the suspicion that they were involved too, but after further verification through our, as well as an independent investigation by the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts, their involvent was ruled out." He explained further.
"That's good… So what's their stance on Yao Changying's actions?" Lin Mu was very curious about this.
"Well… They've denounced it as the official stance of the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect and have already excommunicated Yao Changying as their mber." Emperor Feng answered.
"But that's not the view of everyone there, is it?" Lin Mu guessed.
"Indeed… Yao Changying had a heavy influence in her sect as well as the world. She still has supporters there and we wouldn't be surprised if they might be helping her even now." Emperor Feng confird his guess.
"Of course… That was bound to happen." Lin Mu could only shake his head hearing that. "Since the Teleportation Arrays are not working anymore, I suppose people cannot move between the Continents either?" He asked next.
"Yes. We all have to use the direct thods of traveling to them now." Daoist Chu spoke this ti. "In fact, we're just coming back from the Huiqing Continent ourselves." "Why did you go there?" Lin Mu inquired.
"This." Crown Prince Feng Shun said and handed an old book to Lin Mu.
"Shamanic Script?" Lin Mu recognized the words imdiately.
"You should read it. This is the latest information about Yao Changying we've found." Ziran requested knowing that Lin Mu could read the script.
Lin Mu was a bit surprised as this was an old book and didn't seem like it would contain new information about Yao Changying. But he still decided to read it to clear his doubts.
He didn't even need to consult Xukong about the words anymore since he had already learned the Shamanic Script of the Demonic Tribes in his ti in the Sleepscape. Lin Mu knew that he would inevitably need to read it again, whether it be in the Rust Sky World or elsewhere thus he decided to fully learn from Xukong.
And it wasn't just the Shamanic Script of the Demonic Tribe either. Xukong also taught Lin Mu a couple of other languages that were obscure and reckoned could co in handy for Lin Mu.
One of them was the Gnomish Script that Lin Mu had seen in the Trial Grounds before, and the second was a script that was used by Beastkins. The latter was sothing that was very similar to Beast Tongue, but had been adapted to humanoid vocal chords and given a written form. Still, it was not an easy script to learn, as Lin Mu had not managed to actually speak it. He could only read the textural form of it.
"This…" And once Lin Mu began reading through the old book, he couldn't help but be shocked again.
The old book was a collection of stories that seed to have been made for children. On their own, they seed like re fantasy, but once Lin Mu compared it to their current situation, he found it eerily familiar.
"She's following these fairy tales?" Lin Mu couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Unfortunately, she is." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded his head.
