Chapter 2072
Xukong's words sealed his involvement in the entire issue.~Sigh~
Lin Mu let out a sigh, knowing that things had indeed happened due to Xukong and party due to him. ‘Though considering theydecided to take advantage of the weakened states, this was probably something they had thought of before anyways." Lin Muthought to himself.
He didn't think that this was the first time the Kingdoms would have thought of expanding and conquering their neighbors. Afterall, the Eight Kingdom Alliance was the only continent that hadn't seen the rise of an empire yet. They all knew just howprosperous and wealthy the other empires were, as well as the kind of gains they had after becoming empires.
They too desired the same, and wished to be the Imperial Family. Only by doing that would they get the most benefits and endup on the top. After all, there could only be one imperial family, as the other would all be eliminated.
‘Considering they were all injured together, the three Emperors should have known this too. Perhaps that's why they arewatching things for now.’ Lin Mu reckoned.
What Xukong did was basically giving the kingdoms a chance. He shortened the time it would have needed for them to do thesame.
"If not today, they might have done the same tomorrow." Lin Mu muttered, his voice heard by everyone.
"Yeah, this is something that would have happened in the future anyways." Ziran was the first one to speak. "I've seen this manytimes... Sects, kingdoms, empires... They're all the same. They all tend towards conflict and growth." He stated.
"That's true." Lady Kang chimed in too. "This is just a small conflict in the history of this world. And not the last one for them."She said with some detachment.
“Lady Kang is right." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "Father knew this as well. The Eight Kingdoms might have been in analliance, but it was an alliance maintained by equal strength. Now that the balance has been shifted, this was inevitable. Even ifthe Powerhouses weren't killed, it wouldn't have changed the outcome. Experts still die, whether its from cultivation or from beingkilled. Any one of them could have perished under an Immortal Tribulation or Qi deviation and the same things would havehappened." He explained.
"Or if one of the kingdom happens to be fortunate and births more powerhouses, the balance of power would tilt as well. Theresult would simply be delayed but not canceled." Qiao De agreed.
Hearing their words, Lin Mu nodded finding it to be agreeable.“What does this mean for us now?" Lin Mu asked. "The Imperial court must have a reason for informing us, right?"
"Yes." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "Since we still don't have details on how all it happened, and whether some otherpowers were involved in the killings the Imperial Court wants us to be careful. We are between the Eight Kingdom Alliance andthe Dao Wind Empire, thus anything can happen.
Even if they are unlikely to discover this place, we cannot predict it. Plus there is always a chance some expert decides to followus directly, without us knowing." He explained. "Hmm... So they think the other two empires could be involved in the killing?"Qiao De inquired.
"| see..." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied, still processing it.
"How are you using the ring then?" Qiao De asked in confusion. "If | recall correctly, the rings are a proof of identity and noteveryone can use them unless authorized." He added.
Even lady Kang wondered the same. She and the Great Kang Auction house had interacted with the Indigo World Hegemony'smembers several times in the past and she took knew the importance.
"Well, the ring wasn't exactly intact when | got it." Lin Mu replied. "I had it fixed and repaired some formations." He added."Huh... that's actually possible?" Qiao De hadn't expected that. "To bypass the encryption of the Indigo World Hegemony... is notsimple." He said.
"Well, Daoist Mu Lin does have a Formation Dao Embryo." Monk Hushu reminded them. "We also know his talent informations... | suppose it is good enough to take care of some encryption." He added.
Qiao De couldn't help but feel a bit amused.
"You certainly had me fooled." He chuckled. "Though | supposed, it was my fate and luck to be fooled. If not for that, | wouldn'thave thought of asking you for the expedition." He stated.
“Even if you didn't, | still would." Crown Prince Feng Shun chimed in.
‘Or | would.’ Lady Kang said in her mind. "I guess it is good you are not affiliated with the Indigo World Hegemony. They aren'texactly clean in their workings and aren't in a good standing with the Immortal Court." She spoke.
"That's true... While the Immortal Court is not acting directly against the Indigo World Hegemony they certainly did in the past.And even now they watch what they do.” Crown Prince Feng Shun added.
"Hah! The Immortal Court knows verywell how the Indigo World Hegemonyis. I've seen them, naaie omoperati nS-) Ziran\ ed. "TheIna: orld Hegemony is just goodat hiding them and leaves no openstrings. If not for that, the ImmortalCourt would always go after them."He stated openly. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!

They couldn't just rule as they wished, since there were far too many people, races, powers and worlds involved in it. Therewould always be conflicting opinions and some had vested interests in powers they might not be in proper agreement with.
Still, they couldn't just offend all their members thus had to let things be until they were given a proper reason to act.
"They do tend to dodge most of theactions by cutting away their losses...They have far too man pawns ierunning arpyndheye make use ofalid dispose of." Lady Kang said witha frown.

Hearing all that, Lin Mu had a complex expression. 'The involvement of the Indigo World Hegemony only goes deeper...’ Lin Muthought, a frown appearing on his face.
He didn't have a good opinion of them and didn't know how he would react if he ever met them face to face. But one thing wasclear... There was some conspiracy spanning several worlds now with many people involved.
"For now, we just have to be careful and keep to our mission." The Crown Prince spoke, bringing everyone out of their thoughts.
