Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu was almost at the border of the Millennium forest when he got a message.

"Huh?" Lin Wu was a bit surprised, but then when he saw who messaged him, he realized he forgot.

"Oh, no... I forgor..."

Regardless, he activated the link and talked to Tian Han and Tian Chu.

"Master, is everything fine? Is it done?" Tian Chu questioned frantically.

"Ah, yeah! It all went fine. Though there were some issues that needed me to leave right away." Lin Wu answered.

"What? Leave? You're not at the Frozen Cloud sect?" Tian Han was shocked.

"Yes, I've left it. You two should leave, too. Wang Xiong is currently taking care of things at the sect but there might be some problems that can happen once the patriarch of the sect returns." Lin Wu spoke.

"The patriarch? He's already here with us though." Tian Han replied.

"With you? WITH YOU!?" Lin Wu was shocked.

"Yes, we were picked up by him and another elder when they found us near the border of the sect. At first they thought we were intruding on the sect but then we told us who we were being from the Tian clan.

They asked us about all that had happened and we just told them about a great battle that happened in the sect. We denied all involvement and told them that we were about to go to the sect when it all happened." Tian Chu was the one who explained.

"So that happened..." Lin Wu had not expected the things to change this way.

'Though this can be good too...' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"The patriarch... how is he?" Lin Wu asked.

Tian Han understanding what Lin Wu meant, replied. "He looks calm on the surface, but I can feel the turbulent spirit Qi coming from him. He is certainly very upset." Tian Han replied.

"Hmm... alright, I want you to keep yourself reserved and only speak to him when called. Otherwise don't do any extra interaction. You should be able to contact Wang Xiong too and he'll make sure you two are safe." Lin Wu instructed.

"We are currently being kept in a different area, but I'll contact him. We had to wait till we were away from the patriarch as we didn't know if contacting you will be problematic and we'd get found out." Tian Han replied.

"The link can't be discovered by others, though I guess this was a good move either way." Lin Wu said, finding it reasonable.

He had left without explaining sufficiently to the two Tian cousins and it was still good that they were fine.

'Though the patriarch picking them up was rather unexpected.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"I think someone is coming. We'll go now, master." Tian Chu said.

"Alright, keep me informed if something happens." Lin Wu said before stopping the link.

He then contacted Wang Xiong to tell him about the two Tian cousins as well, just in case.

"Oh yeah, Senior, I heard of them from Patriarch Bing already. I've just sent someone to fetch them." Wang Xiong informed.

"Ah, so that was your people. That's fine then." Lin Wu said, finding it relieving.

"Do you want me to do anything else, senior?" Wang Xiong asked.

"Just make sure the two of them get out of the sect and return to the Tian clan. Them staying them any longer might pull the Patriarch's intrigue. Even if he doesn't suspect them right now, who knows what he might come up with later." Lin Wu replied.

"I'll do that, Senior. They told the patriarch that they were coming to the sect to ask about Tian Xiaoge. And since the Frozen Cliff division who met them last time doesn't exist anymore, we can just use the same excuse again.

No one will know about it." Wang Xiong suggested.

"Very well, do that. Keep me informed about any changes." Lin Mu spoke.

"I will senior. Patriarch Bing and Guardian Yun along with Elder Weizhe, have been in a private meeting this entire time. I'll tell you what the result is later." Wang Xiong replied.

"Alright." Lin Wu said before stopping the link.

~Sigh~

"Didn't think it would turn out like this. Thankfully, he didn't kill them right away... I still have a use for the two of them." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he finally reached the Millennium Forest.

~shua~

Teleportation runes appeared around him and the two beasts he was carrying. The arranged into a formation before teleporting Lin Wu into the tomb.

~thud~

Lin Wu appeared in the Taiji Celestial's tomb and released the two beasts that were still asleep.

"I should keep both of them close by to monitor. Just in case..." Lin Wu muttered before sending the two to nearby rooms.

He could always watch them with the monitoring formations and let the system keep tabs on them.

'Thinking of that... I kinda need to rest as well...' Lin Wu saw the state of his body.

While there were no injuries, Lin Wu still needed to recover a lot of the spirit Qi he had used up. The two skills he had used, the Obliterating Tempest and the Stellar Thundering Wind Splitter, both took massive amounts of spirit Qi to use.

In fact, The Stellar Thundering Wind Splitter took nearly half of Lin Wu's spirit Qi that he had in his body. Even the Obliterating Tempest took nearly a quarter of his spirit Qi. Both were skills that were not to be used causally and were decisive ones.

"I was really cutting it close..." Lin Wu muttered.

He also realized that he needed to get used to his new cultivation base and stabilize it somewhat. Since there was no way to breakthrough directly to the next stage by just pouring in spirit Qi, Lin Wu knew it was time for him to go steady.

Before resting though, Lin Wu informed the other beast subordinates and servants of his that he had returned and that he'll tell them more later.
