Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The two remaining men retreated and took a few steps back.

"Young Master Shirong… bu-but why…?" The late stage core condensation realm uttered.

"Young Master Shirong spare me, I will forever be in your debt and will serve you. This information will never be revealed to the others…" The early stage core condensation realm cultivator pleaded.

~Shing~

~Thud~Thud~

A flash of light appeared for a moment before swiftly disappearing, and upon its disappearance, two heads rolled on the ground.

The man called Young Master Shirong walked towards the two decapitate heads and looked at them.

"Humph! As if I don't know what you all were really here for. There's no way the clans would happily send their people on an expedition to a forbidden zone." Shirong uttered with spite as he stepped on the head.

~Crack~

~Splat~

The head that was under his foot that belonged to the late Stage core condensation realm cultivator was exploded like a watermelon. Shirong looked at Ye Dai and Bei Wen, and both of them moved at a rapid speed.

~Step~Step~

~Thud~

"Young Master was correct. They were indeed here to take advantage of use." Ye Dai said as he kneeled on one knee and cupped his hands.

"Young master is wise. He already knew they had bad intentions ever since they agreed to follow us." Bei Wen flattered in the same posture.

Shirong did not speak and simply took a look around, but the two men felt shivers going through their bodies for a second.

'Such strong spirit sense… this is… almost on the level of a nascent soul realm cultivator.' Ye Dai thought in his mind with shock.

'Is he already close to breaking through, perhaps?' Bei Wen thought.

"Hmm, seems like there is no one else here. Looks like the clans were confident in the people they sent and did not bother to send additional people in secret. They would have attacked us by now if they were truly here." Shirong said in a calm tone.

There was not one bit of anxiousness or guilt on his face, as if all the people that he had just killed were mere bugs meant to be squished.

"It is good that Young Master decided to hide our identities and directed us to separate before coming to the Deer Wood city, otherwise our disguise would not have worked." Ye Dai praised.

"Hmm," Shirong hummed in agreement and then spoke, "clean up the place, you know how to make it look."

"As you command, Young Master." Both Ye Dai and Bei Wen replied before getting to work.

They started taking the belongings of all the people that had been killed till now and collected their corpses together. They then took out a small gourd from their spatial treasure and opened its cap, pouring out its contents onto the corpses.

As soon as the liquid touched the corpses, it started to sizzle and pop. Soon the corpses started melting and reducing. About ten minutes later, all the corpses were reduced to a puddle of reddish black slag.

Meanwhile, Lin Wu was freaking out internally.

"F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK" He uttered incessantly.

Lin Wu was feeling both fear and awe of the massacre that had just happened. This was the first time he was seeing the might of a cultivator with his own two eyes and he was impressed to say the least. But on the other hand, he was reminded of how dangerous this world really was and how ruthless its people could be.

"Dammit, did I make a mistake disguising as a spear, perhaps? What if they find out? They will definitely kill me…" Lin Wu said to himself.

Lin Wu's two crimson red eyes were still open and thus had witnessed everything that had occurred. Because of the way he had made the disguise, he could only keep his eyes open and make them blink occasionally. Otherwise, if he closed his eyes because of fear, his disguise could potentially be discovered.

'What kind of a scheme did I get involved in? Hearing this man's words, it seems like he has been plotting something.' Lin Wu thought.

He then saw how the two men Ye Dai and Bei Wen changed their character and became submissive to Shirong. It was apparent that they had been working for him all along and seemed to have been part of the same scheme. He also saw the dreadful liquid which had melted the pile of corpses into unrecognizable slag.

"Wait, a minute… Am I now the property of a villain from a cultivation novel?" Lin Wu said to himself with shock.

Just as he was reeling from the shock, he felt a shadow appear over his head… or rather the spear blade.

"What?" Lin Wu said dumbly.

Lin Wu saw that the man named Shirong was now staring at him intently and was touching his body all around. From his head to all the way to the end of his tail. Lin Wu inadvertently felt shivers going through his body, but fortunately, it was in the inorganic crystal form or he would have been discovered.

"Impeccable craftsmanship… this is definitely not from this world," Shirong said with assurance.

"Truly Young master? But no traveler that is at the Immortal ascension stage and above has come to the world in recent years. Otherwise, there would have been a great upheaval." Bei Wen asked.

"It is certainly not manufactured here. All the peak tier weapon smiths and spirit tool refiners are accounted for. If they were going to be manufacturing any pseudo immortal tool or weapon, there would certainly be news.

If not for the ones that belong to the sects or other powers, at least the independent ones would have advertised it. I'm sure all the powers would have spared no expense in getting their hands on it." Ye Dai said.

"You two are missing the biggest point… this spear was abandoned here. Those cultivators from the Ling Kingdom's Royal Court definitely passed by here and may have even left it behind after finding it in the center of the area.

We know that they were scared and injured so it is likely that something had chased them down, which led to them abandoning it here." Shirong stated.

"This guy really likes to cook up theories…" Lin Wu muttered awkwardly.
