Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu let Long Qingao digest the information for a bit.

'Need to let the fish rest a bit or the line will break…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

After about five minutes, Long Qingao seemed to have gained a grasp on it a bit.

"The elders of my clan would like to know the information too, senior." Long Qingao said.

"No." Lin Wu firmly stated.

"Huh?" Long Qingao had not expected this reply.

"That information is not yours to be revealed." Lin Wu spoke.

Long Qingao felt a bit suspicious but then Lin Wu's image in his mind reflected again, making him think that there was no reason for Lin Wu to lie or hide it from him.

"May I ask why?" Long Qingao asked carefully.

"Child, there are powers in this world that can threaten even me. And I'm not talking about your clan or the other two. And if they can threaten me, they can very well eradicate your clans." Lin Wu replied, sending Long Qingao into a tizzy again.

This time, the man thought for ten minutes before speaking.

"What kind of a danger is it, senior?" Long Qingao asked.

"Something that can end this world as we know it. It has already awakened too… I can sense it." Lin Wu spoke mysteriously.

"We need to stop it then! If we tell the ancestors, they will surely help!" Long Qingao pleaded.

"No… it will only be more problematic. Until I know where the threat comes from, it is not wise to reveal it." Lin Wu spoke.

Hearing this, Long Qingao furrowed his brows. He could tell that whatever the threat was it was not simple or direct.

"Just what kind of a threat is it, senior? Is it a beast? A human? Something else?" Long Qingao asked.

"You remember what you saw in the illusions right… it is something like that." Lin Wu replied.

Long Qingao's face fell, and he felt his body chilling.

He knew exactly what Lin Wu was talking about. He had seen the actions of Hei and how it could take over worlds and even control its beings.

'So that's what he meant by knowing where the threat comes from first…' Long Qingao understood.

"Very well, senior. I shall keep this to myself for now." Long Qingao stated.

"Mmhmm…" Lin Wu nodded his head.

"But… what is the condition that you have from me? To solve my problem." Long Qingao asked again.

"It is simple… you will need to act as my eyes and ears." Lin Wu replied.

"Eyes and ears?" Long Qingao raised his brows and knew what Lin Wu wanted him to do.

"Indeed… if the threat I'm talking about is true, it is likely it will come from a high place. Something on the level of your clan. Thus, it is best you can keep an eye out for suspicious activities or occurrence." Lin Wu explained.

Hearing this, Long Qingao took a breath of relief.

'As long as it's not spying on my own clan, it should be fine.' Long Qingao thought to himself, unaware that it wouldn't be his choice to make anyway.

"I accept senior." Long Qingao stated.

"Good. Then we can begin the process." Lin Wu replied.

"What are you going to exactly do?" Long Qingao asked nervously.

"Since the issue is from your bloodline getting a bit too strong for your body, we are going to address that. I will be suppressing it." Lin Wu replied.

"Suppressing it? But wouldn't that weaken my cultivation base?" Long Qingao asked, feeling a bit doubtful.

"It will indeed. But it will also give your body a chance to adapt to the bloodline. My restriction will automatically adjust according to the state of your body, releasing the bloodline.

Eventually you should be able to adapt to it completely." Lin Wu explained.

Long Qingao felt relieved at this and found it to be a better option than restarting his cultivation entirely.

"Alright senior, that's fine with me." Long Qingao accepted.

"Stand still then. This will hurt." Lin Wu said as he extended a spike out of his tail.

~gulp~

Long Qingao swallowed his saliva, feeling threatened at the sharp spike. He didn't know what Lin Wu would do with it, but didn't think that he would die. To him, Lin Wu needed no false pretense to kill him, when he had more than enough strength to suppress him without even doing anything.

Lin Wu moved his tail and brought the spike to rest on the man's forehead.

'System, do your thing.' Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

TARGET SELECTED: Long Qingao

INITIATING PROCESS: Pentagem V.3 Implant.

——

The spike extended a bit more and pricked Long Qingao's head. He could feel the skin being cut and the bone being touched. It sent waves of fear down his body, but he knew not to fuck up at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and stayed as still as humanly possible.

Lin Wu's spike broke through the skull and reached Long Qingao's brain!

At that moment, Long Qingao suddenly felt the pain disappear.

'Huh? This is rather strange… why don't I feel anything?' Long Qingao felt his entire body going numb, unaware that the system had already taken hold.

He didn't know how much time passed, but when his senses returned, he found himself standing in front of Lin Wu as the beast withdrew his tail.

"There you go." Lin Wu said.

"It's over?" Long Qingao found it to be a bit astonishing.

He touched his forehead and didn't even find any wound or scar there.

"You should take a look in the mirror." Lin Wu suggested.

"Huh? Why?" Long Qingao asked, but still took out a spirit axe that had sides polished to perfection.

Looking at his reflection, Long Qingao almost found it unrecognizable.

"My hair… my eyes… they're human again?!" Long Qingao exclaimed.

"Those were the side effects of your bloodline imbalance, thus they are gone now too. Once your body adapts to the bloodline, you shouldn't have such mutations again." Lin Wu explained, much to Long Qingao's pleasure.
