Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

After the two days had passed, Wang Xiong received a message from the sect.

"Looks like they are in trouble now." Wang Xiong informed.

"Oh? They can't hold on anymore?" Lin Wu asked.

"Our people at the sect just told me that the Frozen Cliff Division was looking for us everywhere. They, of course, couldn't go to our division and ask about our whereabouts, thus they could only utilize their own people.

This also ended up catching the attention of the others at the sect, including the Frozen Plains divisions. While they don't do anything and interfere in our matters usually, my disappearance is still something they would have to care about.

After all, if I disappear due to the actions of the Frozen Cliff division, their neutrality would be threatened and they might end up being forced to join the Frozen Cliff division." Wang Xiong answered.

"Hmm… so things are going as we hoped for." Lin Wu said with a nod.

"Then do we wait more or go to the sect now, Senior?" Ye Jin questioned.

"Yun Bai has not responded yet, so I'll wait here for now. You two can head on. Waiting too long is not good either and your division might get disturbed as well." Lin Wu answered.

"Very well then. We shall leave right away." Wang Xiong stated.

Lin Wu nodded his head and let them leave.

"Thank you for teaching us the past two days, senior. We are really grateful and will make use of all that you taught us." Ye Jin said in a thankful tone.

After saying this one bit, the two of them flew away and Lin Wu watched them on the map.

~huu~

"That was slightly tense… though it went better than I thought. My Dao of bullshitting worked!" Lin Wu said, feeling pleased with himself.

He had tried his best to come up with things to teach them and thankfully they were okay with anything, even if it was not related to cultivation. This made his work easier and even helped him revise his own thoughts and knowledge.

"Now then… where the heck is Yun Bai?" Lin Wu said, finding it a big strange.

'Should I head on there and check it out myself?' Lin Wu wondered.

While he had the approximate location of the Grotto where Yun Bai and his clan resided, he also knew that there were some dangerous formation arrays protecting it. Yun Bai had briefly told him about them and how they only allowed those of the Frost Fox demon beast bloodline.

After thinking for a bit though, he made up his mind.

"Well, even if I can't enter that place, there is no restriction in me just being near it. Perhaps I'll get to learn something more if I'm closer." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Having made this decision, Lin Wu looked at the beast that was sleeping in one of the corners.

"Wake up Tim! We're leaving." Lin Wu called out.

~KIII~

Tim groggily shook his head as his ears perked up after hearing Lin Wu's voice.

"Leave?" Tim repeated.

"Yeah, we're leaving, we're going to find someone." Lin Wu replied.

"Food?" Tim questioned.

"Ah right!" Lin Wu said as he quickly created a new crystal fragment and tossed it to Tim.

~CRUNCH~

Tim easily caught it and started munching on it. In less than a minute, he had finished it and got energized.

~KIKIKIKI~

His eyes glimmered, and the sleepiness that he had disappeared quickly.

"Damn… its like he just downed a triple shot espresso." Lin Wu said, seeing the rapid change in Tim.

"HEAD WHERE!?" Tim asked excitedly.

"Well… just follow me I guess." Lin Wu said before he flew out.

His large body startled some of the birds and animals that were living outside of the sinkhole.

~WOONG~

~CHIRP~ CHIRP~

Lin Wu's rising body created a gust of wind and so did Tim, who's speed shook the trees as he passed by them.

"Now then… where is that place…" Lin Wu muttered as he gazed at the map.

He followed the system's instructions and made his way to an area that was about three hundred kilometers to the south of the sect. With their speed, Lin Wu reached the area in less than two hours. They could have gotten there earlier, but they had to avoid certain areas as there were disciples of the sect or other commoners living there.

"There it is!" Lin Wu said as he spotted the river.

The grotto where the Frost Fox demon beast clan lived was hidden behind an illusory formation array near this river. The river passed between several hills and carved out a valley between them.

The grotto was located in this valley and was sensed by the system after a little search.

~DING~

——

TARGET DETECTED: Updating map

NOTIFICATION: Daze Light Illusory formation array detected, Flare Bombardment Formation Array detected, Great Waterfall Formation array detected.

——

"Damn, those are some strong formation arrays. Not even the sect has formation arrays as strong as this." Lin Wu muttered.

Lin Wu could recall having read about these formation arrays and could tell that they were of the same class as the ones that were in the Taiji Celestial's tomb. Which was way beyond the normal standard of this world.

"How long will it take you to decipher and analyze them, system?" Lin Wu wondered.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The estimated time period of decryption and analysis is 7 days, 16 hours, and 43 minutes.

——

~Sigh~

"So even if I want to enter it, it will still take a while." Lin Wu said with a sign. "Best just wait here for him. And maybe try sending a message, maybe it can work at this range." He muttered.

Tim though, was restless and wanted to do something a bit more exciting than just waiting here. Lin Wu looked at him and knew that he was like a child on sweet coffee.

"Go and hunt something, just avoid humans. But don't go close to those hills." Lin Wu spoke.

"Hunt! hunt! Hunt time!" Tim ran away in excitement just as he received permission.
