Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The two men Ye Dai and Bei Wen were astounded at Young Master Shirong's intelligence, to say the least. A glimmer of admiration appeared in their eyes as they felt proud of having the chance of serving a man such as him.

'It was truly our fortune that we met Young Master Shirong and that he chose us back then. If not for him, we would have never been able to reach our current cultivation bases.' Ye Dai thought.

'Young master's predictions have always been correct till now, there is no doubt this is what must have happened.' Bei Wen thought.

While Lin Wu could not read the mind of the two men, he was still able to guess what they were thinking from their expressions and the look in their eyes.

'These two are no better either, they are far too deep into being followers.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Lin Wu could recognize the looks that that these two were giving Shirong. He had seen similar kinds of expression back in his previous life. He had seen plenty of people who were head over heels for other people; whether it be in terms of romantic interest or a more material one.

Shirong meanwhile was feeling a bit elated seeing the admiring looks of his two followers. He even felt proud of himself for selecting these two and recognizing their talent back in his clan.

"Young Master Shirong, what should we do next? While it won't be a problem, having these people killed, we still need a valid reason to present to their clans should they question us." Ye Dai questioned.

"Hmm, that is true. But fear not, we are in a forbidden zone where death is as common as air. We can simply tell them that they succumbed to the myriad of dangers that exist here, and they would not dare to doubt one bit. After all, even if they try to investigate, they would not have much luck.

Besides, I may be able to find a better excuse after investigating this area more. If we learn more about it, not only would we have a chance at fortune, but we will also be able to escape the suspicion of the clans much faster." Shirong answered.

Both Ye Dai and Bei Wen nodded in response, showing that they agreed with his words.

"Now then, let's go in further. I have a hunch that there is much more to this land than is visible." Shirong stated before he withdrew a spirit sword that was smaller than the one he had previously used to kill the people.

The spirit sword floated in front of him and he jumped on it. The spirit sword dipped for a moment due to the weight of the spear that was Lin Wu. Shirong had to adjust himself for a moment there before flying towards the depths of the area.

Ye Dai and Bei Wen also took out their respective spirit swords and followed behind Shirong. From time to time they would gaze at the spear in Young Master Shirong's hands and appreciate it silently. After they had learned of its power and value, they could not even dream of even owning something like that in their entire lives.

After all, even if they obtained it, there was no way they would be able to use it neither would they be able to keep it hidden from the strong powers of this world.

Shirong meanwhile kept on using his spirit sense to observe and analyze the green crystal spear in his hand. Although he had guessed that it was a pseudo immortal tool, he knew that he would not be able to use its full capabilities.

Another thing he was disappointed about was that no matter how much spirit sense he used, he still could not gain any information from the spear. Every spirit weapon had information contained within it that showed its abilities, but for some reason, he could not see it. It was as if an impenetrable barrier was stopping his spirit sense.

"Looks like I'll have to figure it out on the go as I use it. No matter what, a pseudo immortal weapon is still a great trump card." Shirong muttered to himself.

While the three men were flying over the area, Lin Wu was also looking down. While he had seen the area on the map and also directly with his own two eyes, this sky view was completely different. He could see the areas that he had visited and was able to identify them rather easily because of the many boulders and rocks that were present there… though it might have been more because of the map function.

Lin Wu was able to see more clearly how everything looked, and they had now reached the crater that was in the very center of the area. While traveling, Lin Wu had seen the zones that were in the form of concentric circles that extended outward from the central crater.

Each zone seemed to be slightly different, with the closest zone to the crater being made from solidified lava. This zone was black and there were jagged points and edges jutting out of its surface, showing that it had not calmed down fully even after two years.

"Young Master look! That crater, that must be where the meteorite crashed and also where the pillar of light originated from." Bei Wen exclaimed.

"We should be careful Young Master, our defensive talismans are deteriorating fast and although we have more of them, I still want to have some reserved in case of emergencies." Ye Dai warned.

"I know. Let's go check it out and be ready for any danger." Shirong spoke before he flew towards the central crater.

"I would have never thought that I would be returning to this place so quick after escaping it and definitely not at this speed. Damn, are the Core Condensation realm cultivators fast…" Lin Wu muttered in his mind before a chuckle escaped his mouth.

"Shame that you all are wasting your time here. Everything has already been taken by me, muahaha!"
