Female Novel
Chapter 2030
Lin Mu had long since known that various clans and powers had ways to know whether their members died or not. They couldeven know if the member that died, just lost their body or even their Nascent soul was destroyed.
Depending on this, it made it easier for them to deal with the aftermath.
If just the body was destroyed and the cultivator survived due to their Nascent soul, the power backing them could find theNascent soul and help them revive. After all, a Nascent soul might have power, but it didn't have much in terms of defense.
As such, it was important to find and secure it quickly.
But if both the body and the Nascent soul had been destroyed, it meant that the member was truly killed. In that case, the powerbacking them would instead focus on finding the killer and enact revenge.
Of course, this was not the case for all powers, but it was still necessary to know the status of their members. It made sense thatthe Immortal Court could do so too.
“Hmm... if he has died for sure then it is likely that all his belongings are with someone else." Lin Mu guessed."That is true." The Saintess replied. "And | think we have a good guess as to who might have it." She added.
"The Hardliners of the Immortal Court..." Lin Mu replied as a frown appeared on his face. "They were the ones behind his death,and as such, they are an obvious choice." He spoke.
"Yes, but that complicates things." The Saintess replied. "They aren't exactly ones that would give up something they have intheir possession. Especially not of its part of a legacy. Considering they haven't used it till now, there's a chance they simply don'tknow what it is. But if they do find out—"
"They will never give it up." Lin Mu understood that much.
The Saintess simply nodded in response, knowing this was not going to be easy.
~Sigh~
“At least | have a significant lead this time... | won't have to wander like blind last time." Lin Mu muttered, feeling a bit better.The Saintess kept silent and let Lin Mu process it all. After a minute or so Lin Mu spoke again, this time in a much better mood.
“Looks like I'll be paying a visit to the Immortal Court after all." Lin Mu chuckled. "Maybe Crown Prince might be able to help mein this aspect."
"You are going to help him on the expedition, so it is worth making use of him." The Saintess replied. "Besides, you still need todetermine exactly which part of the Immortal Court that vault might be in." She added.
"Oh yeah... While we know it's in the Immortal Court, we don't know which section... East, West, North, or South." Lin Muagreed.
"There's also the Central Immortal Court." The Saintess added. "But it is definitely not there." "Huh? Central? But aren't thereonly Four as per the four guardian beasts?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows.
"Yes, but that is for the control of the immortal realm. There is still the Central Immortal Court, which is the main seat ofadministrative power that looks over the four branches. That is where the great decisions take place." The Saintess added.
"Then who presides over that?" Lin Mu questioned. "Among the four guardian beast clans, | mean. Do they all rule itcollectively?" He asked further.
"No... they don't." The Saintess said, much to his surprise. "The power that rules over the Central Immortal court is anotherbeast clan... The Yellow Dragon of the Center... The Ruler of the four guardian clans!" She revealed.
Lin Mu's eyes went wide in surprise as he learned this new information."There's a clan that rules over the four guardian beasts!?" Lin Mu was surprised."Of course... Didn't you think there was one representative beast missing among the five elements?" The Saintess asked.
"Of course! The earth element!" Lin Mu said in realization.
"The Azure Dragon belongs to theWood Element, and representsSpring. The Vermillion Bird belongs tothe Fire Element ang represeftsSumper, Rh White Tiger belongs theMetal Element and representsAutumn. The Black Tortoise belongsto the Water element and representsWinter. Then finally, the YellowDragon belongs to the Earth elementand represents the changing season!The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
The Yellow Dragon Clan has ruled over the four guardian clans since the immortal court was established and ensures that themembers of the four guardian clans uphold their principle and holds them accountable for any mistake that they might make.
Of course, other than that, they don't actually interfere in the normal workings of the immortal court. They let the Four Guardianclans handle their duties and only act if it is necessary." The Saintess explained in detail.
"Is that why there are no Hardliners there?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Indeed. The Yellow Dragon clanstands for harmony between all, andwould not allow someone of thhardliner ideglogy\witKin Hei?cbmipany. The number of externalmembers in the Central ImmortalCourt is already quite low, andamong them almost all are membersof the Peaceful faction." The Saintessrevealed. The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

"Wait... Is that why the Peaceful faction has been rising in recent times, as you said?" Lin Mu asked in doubt.
"Indeed... They've gathered supportfrom the Central Immoral Court. Plus,some of their high ranking membersare PN Keg Vand DragonCla 'so while their numbers mightbe lower than the Neutral Faction,their influence is certainlysubstantial."

"Huh... there's certainly a lot of complexities to the workings of the Immortal court." Lin Mu knew that things won't be simple. "Atleast that's one less place to look." He looked at the silver lining.novelbin
"If you wish to obtain that legacy, it might be better to get that entire vault. That way, they won't suspect you as much." TheSaintess suggested. "I think you should probably look at trading for the Vault in itself."
