Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Wang Xiong could feel the traces of lightning in the air that were still present. Since he had gained insights into the extreme yang of lightning, he could very well tell that this was caused by the Tribulation lightning itself.

"Nope, it was done by you. Or more accurately your body." Lin Wu replied to Wang Xiong.

"What?" Wang Xiong questioned, still feeling confused.

"We can talk about this later. Right now we have more important things to do." Lin Wu stated.

"What do we do now then?" Wang Xiong asked.

"Well… I'd say just do what you want. I've set up the stage for you, do the rest." Lin Wu said.

Wang Xiong's gaze stiffened and he nodded his head. He could tell that while all this seemed problematic, there may be some ways with which he could resolve this all. After looking around he found the elders who were still shivering in the corner, their defensive tools active.

"Alright senior. I won't disappoint you." Wang Xiong replied with determination.

Lin Wu hummed in response before making his body which was in the form of an armor, glow brightly. The people who were still awake were scared by this and were thinking that it may be their turn to be killed next.

But then when the light stopped, they saw Wang Xiong floating there without his armor. Lin Wu had taken this opportunity to get away and dug deep into the ground. There was already a crater below Wang Xiong due to the impact from the tribulation lightning and thus it wasn't hard for him to make use of that as a disguise.

Lin Wu didn't go too far though. He was still observing the situation and wanted to see how it would proceed. He had done enough to make Wang Xiong seem like a genius which he hoped would sway the opinion of the sect.

"The rest of them should be coming right about… now." Lin Wu muttered as he saw hundreds of cultivators flying towards the Central battle stage.

The most eye catching one from them was a middle aged man who was exuding strong spirit Qi fluctuations. The strongest that Lin Wu had seen till now.

"That must be the Dao Shell realm sect patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect." Lin Wu recognized.

There were more of the Dao shell realm cultivators among the group, but the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from them were far less. Evidently, those were the head elders of the sect. Overall, six Dao shell realm cultivators had shown themselves while four more were still hidden where Lin Wu had seen them on the map.

"WHO IS BEHIND ALL THIS!" The sect patriarch questioned in a thunderous voice.

Wang Xiong looked up at the powerful man and gritted his teeth before flying up to meet him.

"I am the one who did all this sect patriarch." Wang Xiong stated fearlessly.

"You!? You killed your fellow disciples?" The sect patriarch questioned with a stern gaze.

"They forced my hand patriarch. They have become corrupt with power and were abusing it. I reckon others elders will very well verify my claims." Wang Xiong said as he gestured towards three elders who were at the side.

The three elders looked at Wang Xiong and suddenly felt a dangerous aura lock on to them. They couldn't tell where it was coming from, but they knew if they did not act quickly, they may be in mortal danger.

"YES PATRIARCH! What Wang Xiong says is right! Niu San and his two companions intended to use the authority of the Discipline hall to suppress a genius like Wang Xiong." The elder quickly spoke.

"Yes, yes, patriarch. He was even forced to undergo a heavenly tribulation so that he could compete against the core disciples." The second elder spoke.

Surprise could now be seen in the eyes of the patriarch. While he had seen the heavenly tribulation and knew someone was having a breakthrough. But from looking at Wang Xiong, he couldn't tell that he had newly broken through.

If a cultivator broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, their cultivation base would take a while to stabilize and their aura would fluctuate a lot. But nothing of that sort could be felt from Wang Xiong. In fact, now that the patriarch thought about it, Wang Xiong's aura seemed to be almost comparable to that of an Adolescent Soul Stage Nascent soul realm cultivator.

"You are the one who had the dual layered Heavenly tribulation?" The sect patriarch asked for confirmation.

"Indeed patriarch." Wang Xiong nodded his head and displayed the full extent of his cultivation.

Everyone present here could feel two types of auras coming from Wang Xiong. These auras mixed and separated, sometimes being individual, sometimes together.

"Yin and Yang Duality Physique?" Someone among the head elders recognized.

~Gasp~

Shocked gasps spread among everyone as they heard about the legendary physique.

"AHAHAHA! MY FROZEN CLOUD SECT FINALLY HAS A TRUE GENIUS!" The sect patriarch laughed out loud, completely pushing aside the matter of three core disciples being killed.

"Bingo!" As soon as Lin Wu heard this, he knew his job here was mostly done.

He still waited and saw the rest of the events, which progressed rather quickly. The patriarch ordered this matter to be investigated and Lin Wu conveniently cleared the recordings of the recording formation of the central battle stage.

He also left some traces of Niu San and his companions on the formation node, which only smeared their identities further. Sanctions were issued against the discipline hall and their members went a shift.

Lin Wu discovered that the sect patriarch had actually been bothered by the Discipline hall for a long time but couldn't act against them due to the sect's rules. These were rules that were embedded into the main formation array of the sect by the ancestors and could not be changed.

Wang Xiong had just given him the very opportunity that he had been waiting for and he quickly took it, switching the members of the discipline hall with his own people.
