Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

An awkward smile could be seen on Elder Sima's face as he looked at the other elders who were staring daggers at him.

"Ahahah! It was just a joke, just a little joke!" Elder Sima hurriedly said.

"Humph! This is no time to be joking." Elder Giza said.

"Sorry!" Elder Sima said before standing up.

His expression quickly changed though, once he was a bit away from them.

'You guys would be the same if you got the opportunity. Humph! You're just regretting I was faster.' Elder Sima thought.

If his plan worked and Tian Han ended up going along with it, Elder Sima would end up becoming the second highest person in the sect, as Tian Han would be the contender for the sect patriarchs position.

He would pretty much be pushing down elder Qianshu. It was a simple but usable ploy and if it weren't for the fact than Tian Han was still conscious and responded, he might have gotten away with it too.

'Dammit, couldn't you have been unconscious for longer? I already had the mind bending pills with me.' Elder Sima thought to himself.

While Elder Sima was cursing his luck, Elder Qianshu had finally reached the location of Tian Han. He gazed at Tian Han as if he were a gemstone and the greed could be seen in his eyes.

Tian Han felt a gaze on him and looked up, recognizing the man he was staring at him.

'Fuck! He's already here? Where is the trap that was prepared?' Tian Han internally thought.

"TIAN CHU! GET THAT THING RUNNING!" Tian Han shouted through their link.

~HONG~

And just as he said that, it happened.

"Huh? A formation array?" The elders were surprised.

But the surprise was momentary as wary looks appeared on their faces. There were plenty of formation experts here and they could quickly asses and tell that this was no normal formation.

"How is there a formation here? Wasn't this place destroyed back then?"

"Not just that… this place just endured an entire heavenly tribulation. How are these formations even intact?"

"You are not asking the right question… the right question is… how did we not detect it?" Elder Giza said as a serious look appeared on his face.

~SHUN~

It was at this second that a change occurred in the formation.

Tens of pillars shot out of the ground and trapped the people within them. This included everybody that was within the formation array's limits, excluding Tian Han and Tian Chu.

"WHAT!?" The elders were stunned.

"Finally!" Tian Han said with relief before he stood up.

"Fuck! My body still hurts…" Tian Han muttered.

The spirit Qi infusion was still ongoing and his spirit Qi stores were slowly being replenished. But it would still take him a while before he would be able to fully heal up and reach his peak again.

~CLANG~

"What is the meaning of this?" one of the elder shouted and banged his fists on the interior of the pillar that he was trapped in.

"It's a Hundred Figure Prison Formation array!" An elder identified.

"How can one of those be here? I'm sure there was nothing like it made here ever before." Someone else said.

"Don't you understand… this was made be someone. Right under our noses…" Elder Giza spoke.

"Who could do this?" A female elder said while trying to breakthrough the pillars confines.

She was at the nascent soul realm and should have been able to exert enough strength to break many barrier formations. 

"The Frozen Brook Division?" someone suggested.

"It could be possible."

"No…" It was Elder Qianshu that spoke this time. 

His gaze quickly went to the only free person in the area. Him being none other than Tian Han.

"The culprit is right in front of us." Elder Qianshu said.

"What? How can it be him? He was literally undergoing a heavenly tribulation until a moment ago." The female elder said, finding it improbable.

While the elders discussed this, Tian Han was still nervous.

'I better get away from here!' he thought to himself and started to run away.

If not for the fact that he had yet to recover, he would have flown away from the Frozen Cloud sect in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately for him, his cultivation base didn't really allow that right now.

"Look! He's getting away!" The elders spotted Tian Han.

"STOP! Don't you dare run away!"

"This is the land of the Frozen Cloud sect! You have to obey our commands!" The elders shouted.

"Fuck that shit! You'll kill me if I stay behind. Who  are you even trying to fool?" Tian Han cursed the elders.

"STOP HIM!" the elders shouted while trying to break the pillars.

~BANG~ BANG~ BANG~

The elders started attacking the pillars non stop, hoping to shatter them. With each attack, the formations shook and made Tian Han nervous.

"WHATEVER YOU ARE GOING TO DO, DO IT NOW! TIAN CHU!" Tian Han shouted through the link.

And just as he said this, he felt a hot wave of spirit Qi suddenly spread through the area.

"Huh?" Tian Han stumbled and missed a step due to that, almost falling in the process.

"ARGH!"

"AHH!!!"

"UGAAA!!!"

"NOOO!!!" 

Soon cries of pain and death were heard spreading through the area. Tian Han couldn't resist the curiosity and looked back. But what he saw scared him to no end.

"SAVE ME!!!!"

"I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS!!"

Various cries were coming out of the mouths of the Frozen Cloud sect disciples and elders. Those that were weaker among them were currently being burned alive. The pillars they were trapped in were turned into furnaces and started heating up.

There were runes glowing on the ground below them, releasing a scorching heat. First, only the legs of the people were burned, but then this made them kneel to the ground, burning the rest of their leg.

Those that suffered it more, directly fell to the ground, being burned to a crisp rather quickly.

It was as if they were all placed in a frying pan!
