Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu watched Lian Xiaojian for a bit before moving back to the visitors.

"Hmm… I'll get to know about it soon anyway. And it doesn't seem like they are here for any trouble either…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

As long as there weren't people coming to pick fights with him, he'd be fine meeting with them. Of course, he wouldn't do this for each and every person. Otherwise, there would be an endless line of people wanting to meet him, all the way from commoners to kings.

In order to maintain his image, Lin Wu would only meet those that had a certain influence, reputation or power.

And the latest visitor had all of that, thus Lin Wu would certainly meet him.

'Perhaps he really is to reward me?' Lin Wu hoped.

It didn't take long for Lin Wu to verify this either, as Lian Dajian and Elder Ruanjian reached the fifth ring soon. There they were met with one of the Emeraldine Monkeys. He was the first one to have recovered, as he was the least injured and Lin Wu had sent him out early.

At the border of the fifth ring, the Emeraldine Monkey faced the visitor, his expression a bit strained.

'Is this really a human? Or is he a beast too? How is he looking like a ball?' The Emeraldine monkey couldn't help but think.

The fat man in question, Lian Dajian also couldn't help stare at the Emeraldine monkey. It was his first time seeing a beast like that, as the green crystal on his body was rather eye catching.

'They might really be useful as jewelery…' Lian Dajian thought to himself, finding the crystals rather elegant.

It wasn't that he hadn't heard about the Emeraldine legion from the reports of Elder Ruanjian, but it was still different seeing it in person. They certainly looked different from any other crystals he had seen until now.

And he has a businessman had a good eye for things such as this. After all, a lot of his business dealt with them and he needed to be knowledgeable about it all.

"Patriarch, this is one of King Lin Wu's subordinates." Elder Ruanjian introduced.

"Indeed. I'm here to guide Patriarch Lian Dajian to the king." The Emeraldine monkey spoke.

"Oh? The king knows of my arrival before even informing?" Lian Dajian said.

"The King knows all." The Emeraldine monkey said before turning. "Please follow me."

The two of them followed behind the beast while Lian Dajian continued to check everything out. His spirit sense was fully extended and was taking in all the sights. He couldn't help but feel impressed by it all.

'Perhaps he really might be able to do something…' Lian Dajian thought to himself.

A few minutes later, they were brought to the entrance of the Taiji Celestial's tomb.

"This is where our king resides. You will need to continue onwards." The Emeraldine Monkey said before taking his leave.

"Come on patriarch, it's rather straight." Elder Ruanjian said, having seen it all before.

Lian Dajian nodded his head and followed behind him. Along the way, he glanced at the many runes and carvings that were everywhere in the tomb.

"This is certainly different from what we've seen till now. I don't think runes like these are in most of the records, and some are simply unknown." Lian Dajian said.

"Patriarch is correct. I've tried finding out more about these runes, but was unable to. They are not only hard to comprehend, but the scripts are also different from ours. They are in Dao Script though so we might be able to learn after a while on our own." Elder Ruanjian replied.

"I see… would be good if we can get the king to allow us to do that too…" Lian Dajian muttered.

"Maybe next time, our current visit itself is going to be presumptuous. Who knows if he would even accept." Elder Ruanjian said.

"That is… true." Lian Dajian had nothing else to say.

The two of them soon reached the end of the corridor and the teleportation circle was now visible.

"We just step in and it'll take us to the king." Elder Ruanjian said.

"Hmm… let's go then. No use in making him wait." Lian Dajian spoke before stepping into the circle.

The floor shook lightly with his heavy steps, and the sound was a bit amplified in an enclosed space like this.

~SHUA~

Once both of them were in the circle, the runes started to glow and activated. The two of them felt their bodies turn weightless for a moment, and when it returned, they found themselves in another hall.

"Welcome… Patriarch Lian Dajian." Lin Wu's voice was heard clearly.

The fat man's already small eyes narrowed even more after hearing Lin Wu.

'He might be speaking in our language, but his voice is certainly not human… it feels… unnatural.' Lian Dajian couldn't help but think.

It wasn't that he was thinking that a beast speaking human language was unnatural, as he found the beast from before normal. To Lian Dajian, the Emeraldine Monkey speaking human tongue was the same as a human speaking, it seemed natural.

But in the case of Lin Wu, he didn't know, but he got an uncomfortable feeling.

'Hopefully it's nothing and I'm thinking too much…' Lian Dajian thought to himself.

Usually, he trusted his instincts, but he couldn't do the same today. After all, he was here for a specific task and couldn't really go away. He needed to talk with Lin Wu.

"King Lin Wu is certainly well aware. You knew I was coming before I was even here." Lian Dajian praised.

"Hahah~ A mighty figure like Patriarch Dajian is worth paying attention to." Lin Wu replied.

Lian Dajian couldn't help but nod in approval, finding the flattery decent for a beast.

"Well then, might I ask to what do I owe this pleasure? Why would the patriarch of one of the top three clans visit me?" Lin Wu finally asked.

"Today I'm here to ask for your help."
