Chapter 2530 Hands Tied

Lin Mu's actions had not gone unnoticed though, and the person behind it had been watching it all.

"It's him again!" Yao Changying hovered in the air cross legged as an indigo colored wisp floated in front of her chest. Fine tendrils were extending from her chest and connecting to the Soul Fragment, absorbing it steadily.

'Just focus on the task at hand. My Soul Fragment is a lot more important than him right now.' A voice rang in her head.

"I know." Yao Changying said with a frown. "But the stalling measures won't last long. I can only maintain so many Spatial Rifts even with the power of the Key." "Once you've absorbed at least half of the Soul Fragment, I'll be able to handle the rest. Then you can take care of them." The voice replied, a hint of unease in it.

But as time went by, Yao Changying's anxiety continued to increase. She was watching Lin Mu closing the Spatial Rifts which should have been impossible by normal means.

"How is he even doing that? What is he?" She couldn't help but question. "He seems different from what we saw before... is he the same as us?" she wondered

She remembered seeing the form of Lin Mo, who had threatened them openly. She had felt the dangerous power emitting from him and the deadly aura that surrounded him.

'Whoever he is, he is not simple. He seems to be fine now, but that aura he had back then... it was definitely that of the Devils.' The voice replied. 'Back when I was still alive, I had faced someone like him.' She revealed.

"Then we need to kill him." Yao Changying said with hate. "We cannot afford to let him be alive. If not for the fact that we need to keep the emperors busy, I'd have sent everyone to attack him right now." She uttered.

If not for her hands being tied, she would not have been here alone. "Just a little more. We're close to being done half." The Withered Spirit Daoist urged. "Once we have that, dealing with him will be possible, and when it's fully absorbed, there won't be anyone that will be able to stop us." She said, feeling excited.

Yao Changying simply nodded in response and focused on absorbing the soul fragment as the size of the indigo wisp began to decrease at a faster rate.

This had been the entire reason she had used the Chimeric Beasts to stop Lin Mu and his companions and not herself. After having blocked the explosion from the Atlantean Neptunium, she was a bit injured and needed to recover as well as absorb the soul fragment.

All the other Black Ying Empire members were currently busy in leading battles in the three continents and occupying the attention of the other empires. But if even a single emperor managed to find out what was happening here, they could rush over and attempt to stop her.

In her current state of absorption, she was highly vulnerable.

Ideally speaking, she should have done this in a safe place with a Dharma protector, but the detonation of the Atlantean Neptunium had forced her hand. The way she had saved the Sou fragment had been to connect to it, so that her body could protect it. And connecting to it meant that she was now forced to begin the absorption. But if there was anything Yao Changying was, it was stubborn. She would never turn on her goals now that she was this close to them.

'I'll kill you, Mu Lin. No matter what I have to do.' Yao Changying had never forgotten the multiple humiliations she had suffered at his hands.

She had given up a lot to gain this power, and she was not going to let her sacrifice go to waste. She would get what she deserved, for she believed she was born to rule over it all.
