Rise Of The Worm Sovereign – Chapter 994

994 A Strange City

Chapter 994: A Strange City

Upon reaching the Human city, the first thing Lin Wu discovered was the lack of formation arrays.

“Huh? Why aren’t there any arrays here?” Lin Wu was surprised.

Other than the small formations that were used personally by the people, there were no city level arrays here. It almost looked like the city was a mortal city having no sign of an array. It could also be said to be highly unprotected.

‘Anyone can sweep the city apart without there being arrays. They don’t even need to be that strong, even a Core Condensation realm cultivator would be able to do it…’ Lin Wu thought to himself, realizing that there might be more to it.

Thus to look deeper, he glanced at the other characteristics of the city.

The first thing he noticed was that the majority of the people in this city seemed to be mortals.

“Nearly 95% are mortals with cultivation base under the qi refining realm.” Lin Wu found this astonishing. 

‘Even without any cultivation techniques, they should have been able to reach the Qi refining realm at the very least due to the sheer concentration of spirit qi here…’ Lin Wu reckoned.

Plus Lin Wu also knew of many cultivation novels that were spread around in the Ming Dao world. These were low leveled manuals and were basically available for free. But they weren’t good either.

If anyone used them, they might only be able to reach the mid or late stage of the qi refining realm at the maximum. But these techniques would still allow one to enter the qi refining realm.

“It’s not even that the people are not talented here either… I can already sense several people that are at the ninth stage of the body tempering realm and a couple at the tenth stage as well…” Lin Wu knew exceeding the eight stage of the body tempering realm was quite difficult without a proper body tempering manual.

It only lead him to believe that someone might be intentionally restraining their cultivation bases or there was something strange at play here.

Lin Wu continued to look around and soon found his first cultivator. He seemed to be at the Qi refining realm and was even at the very peak of it.

“That’s decent I suppose… rather high compared to the others.” Lin Wu continued looking for more and soon discovered the rest of the cultivators.

He soon recognized a pattern in all of them.

“These seem to be the guards… only the guards have a cultivation base here?” Lin Wu realized that the reason behind it all might have just been the person he had come looking for here.

He found several of the core condensation realm experts too but they were part of the guards as well. As for the Nascent soul realm experts, he found none.

The next strongest expert was at the Dao Shell realm, whom he detected to be hiding in the main building located at the very center of the city.

The building was rather vast, having several courtyard attached to it, a central mansion built with a rock garden and finally a large tower attached to the back of it. No matter what angle one looked at it from, the would know that this place belonged to a big shot.

“So here’s where all the formation arrays went to,” Lin Wu saw a couple of city protecting level arrays defending just this single place.

But that was not all, as when he tried to peek in, his spirit sense was actually blocked by the arrays as well.

“Oh, this is a little too well built for this place. Would be a shame if it cracked… hehe,” Lin Wu directly used his spirit sense and poked a hole in the array without a care.

To him, whatever the kind of an expert was hiding inside, he couldn’t hold a candle to the Aquadream Ocean Lotus Lin Wu had killed just a day ago. With that experience on his belt, Lin Wu now had quite a lot of confidence in holding up against other experts.

Plus he had seen Tian Guisha and the two Long Clan elders as well. In all, he had witnessed four Immortal Ascension realm experts and killed one. And while his fight with the Aquadream Ocean Lotus was a little chaotic, it was mostly due to the fact that Lin Wu was caught off guard that too in the habitat of the creature he was fighting.

If Lin Wu was gonna fight the Long Clan ancestors or even Tian Guisha, he would have a lot more confidence since he would know exactly how to target and weaken them.

Hence with this confidence, he barged into the residence of the local overlord.

~SHUA~

His actions were displayed rather brazenly as the runes of the array were forced to appear in the air.

“Look! What’s happening to the City Lord’s Mansion!”

“Why is it glowing?”

“I don’t feel good… I think we should leave…” 

The citizens chatted amongst themselves as they saw the changes. But then a few seconds later, all of their jaws dropped.

~SHATTER~

“WHO DARES!” A loud shout was heard coming from the mansion as the aura of a Dao Treading realm expert appeared.

~WHOOSH~

In the next second, a man that seemed to be in his early thirties appeared above the mansion. He was dressed in yellow and red robes looking rather gaudy. But that wasn’t all as the man was also decked in gold jewelry that seemed to cover his arms, neck and even his hair.

The man was a walking showroom of jewelry. It was almost as if he was scared that people wouldn’t know he liked gold.

“A Dao Treading realm cultivator at the Embryo Growth stage, interesting…” The bejeweled man heard a voice in his head at that moment before a cold feeling covered him.

“W-who?!” The man looked around frantically, not being able to detect anything at all.

“Let’s talk face to face then, shall we?” in the next second the man plummeted from the sky like a dead rock.
