Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The two disciples Xiaoge and Jun learned everything from Lin Wu and finally understood their duty. The two of them were chosen by Wang Xiong on the basis of their personality already and he knew that they would suit this thing.

That was the reason why he had sent them here. Lin Wu was happy that Wang Xiong could do this and felt that he was getting better and better.

"You two can go and cultivate in one of the halls for now, the spirit Qi is better there so it should help you two." Lin Wu ordered.

"Yes senior!" Xiaoge and Jun said in unison.

~SHUA~

Runes appeared around them and formed into teleportation formations which then took the two disciples away.

~Phew~

Lin Wu took a breath of relief after seeing this and removed all the effects that he had been using.

"That's one thing out of the way. Now to do the other tasks…" Lin Wu said as he checked the other windows.

He spent a few hours checking the situation of the other places and the beasts.

"Hmm… they should have already communicated with the Slim arm ape king, the demon spine ape king and the Split thorn horn beetle king by now right?" Lin Wu wondered.

He then decided to contact his servants to know how things were going. Fifteen days had already passed and thus there had been enough time for his servants to have talked with the kings.

~SHUA~

"Master?" the beetle beast directly appeared in front of Lin Wu upon his call.

"How's the deal with your ancestor going? Has he decided anything?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Ah! Yes. He accepted it right away. With you being one of the insect beasts as well, he has no problem with you being the overall king of the entire forest." The beetle beast answered.

"I see… that's good then. Guess I just need to ask the monkey beasts now." Lin Wu spoke.

"I know about that too," The beetle beast added.

"Oh, you do? Do tell." Lin Wu asked.

"The Slim Arm ape is fine with it as well but he wants you to ensure that his kin would be protected as well. He also has some things that he wants to talk to you about in person." The beetle beast replied.

"And what about the Demon Spine Ape king?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Well… he has a condition as well. He wants to fight you." The beetle beast answered.

"Hmm, just as I expected." Lin Wu nodded his head.

"Very well, guess I'll go and meet the father son pair now." Lin Wu stated.

"As you say, master. Is there anything else I need to do?" The beetle beast asked.

"Nothing for now. You can return to your tasks." Lin Wu said.

~SHUA~

The beetle beast nodded and teleported away. Lin Wu looked at the map and knew where the two monkey beast kings were.

"The beetle beast saved me some time there, time to head out and stretch a bit…" Lin Wu said before he teleported away as well.

~SHUA~

Runes rippled in the air, and Lin Wu appeared in one of the areas of the sixth ring. His body left a deep imprint on the ground just by the virtual of his sheer weight. Lin Wu looked at it and thought of something.

"Hmm… I'll need to do something about this as well. It's fine if I'm in non-hostile territory but in dangerous or enemy territory I'll need to be careful of leaving behind traces." Lin Wu took note.

With this done, he floated up and flew towards the territory of the two monkey beasts. The forest around him had gone silent due to his presence and all the beasts were scared enough to stay silent.

Lin Wu reached the monkey beasts' territory in a few minutes and landed in front of the cave. He knew that his aura would be picked up by the two ape kings rather quickly and he wouldn't need to announce himself.

~thud~

Lin Wu landed on the stony ground, cracking it a bit and looked into the cave.

"King Lin Wu," The voice of the Slim Arm Ape King was heard coming from the inside.

"Slim Arm Ape King," Lin Wu greeted.

The two ape kings walked in from the inside and looked at Lin Wu.

"You wanted to talk in person about the deal?" Lin Wu asked.

"Indeed. I'm fine with your decision as long as you satisfy some things that I want." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.

"And what are they?" Lin Wu questioned.

"I want you to do something… I want you to find the truth about this place… this forest and the Dark Bloom Caves. Since you live at the forbidden tomb, you must already have some idea but I'd like you to figure out the entire thing." The Slim Arm Ape king answered.

"Hmm… I can do that. But why do you want that?" Lin Wu asked feeling curious.

The ape king's request was something he was fine with and it wasn't something that was out of his goals. He was going to do them anyway himself but he wanted to know what the ape king's interest in this was.

"I once had a master… a long time ago. He was the one that raised me from a common ape all the way to the Core condensation realm. If it were not for him, perhaps I would have died a long time ago.

I have a debt to him and I'd like to fulfill it. His last wish was to find the secrets of this forest, but he died before he could do that. I've tried to do it myself but it wasn't really possible for me. The rules of the forest were hard for me to go against.

But you… you've already changed them. If you can do that, then you can definitely do this." The Slim arm ape king requested.

"Alright, I'll Do it!" Lin Wu agreed.
