Rise Of The Worm Sovereign



With the Teleportation array set up, Lin Wu sent a message to Cang Ci as well as his other subordinates, instructing them that the Steel Frost Island was now also under their rule.

Cang Ci quickly responded with the plan that was already prepared by her. She said that she would be sending the relevant people right away and that they will get the things in Steel Frost Island started at once.

'They only get better as time goes by,' Lin Wu was pleased with the work of his subordinates.

He couldn't help but feel like he would need a lot more if he were to expand his influence. After all, he had already taken over two continents, and the third one would soon be added to it. 

"And this is just the Ming Dao World… I don't think I'll give up on my people here. It would be too much of a waste to just leave like that." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Originally, he had promised Guardian Yun Bai that he would find a way to get the entire Frost Fox clan away from the Ming Dao world. But now Lin Wu reckoned he would have to find a bigger method of doing so.

'Ascending myself won't be an issue, as it is just a matter of time. But bringing others along will be a difficult thing. I can always help them reach the immortal realm too, but the ascension after that would throw them in different places.

Plus, there is no guarantee whether they would survive or not. I need a sure shot way of bring them along and keeping them with me.' Lin Wu pondered on it while the teleportation array started to activate.

The people of the Steel Frost Island watched on in awe as thousands of runes filled the skies, turning into a large array circle. Once the circle was completed, a flash of bright light filled everyone's vision, making it hard to see.

Even Lord Geng Zilai had a hard time seeing and when the light faded away, tens of people were now standing there along with a bunch of beasts. The humans looked to be rather strong with the weakest being at the Core Condensation realm, but the beasts that had arrived were all at the Nascent soul realm at the very least.

Among them there was a large cicada on the back of which sat none other than Cang Ci.

"My King!" Cang Ci called out, seeing Lin Wu's majestic body.

"This is lord Geng Zilai, you should get acquainted." Lin Wu spoke, introducing the two.

"So you are Lady Cang Ci. I've heard a lot about you." Lord Geng Zilai cupped his hands in greeting respectfully.

"Oh? You've heard of me?" Cang Ci was a bit surprised.

"Of course! Your work is known quite well in the Long Continent now. Even this far out, I've heard about you through the news." Lord Geng Zilai said with a smile.

"Ahaha, that is normal. Cang Ci certainly does a lot of work for me and is one of my most trusted subordinates." Lin Wu praised as well.

"I am flattered, my king." Cang Ci lowered her head while a slight blush appeared on her face.

She couldn't help but feel warm after hearing Lin Wu's words. 

They talked for a bit more while Lin Wu gave some instructions as to what as to be done. He told her about the Caverns as well as the Ice Light Lichens within it. Cang Ci immediately formulated a plan and knew how best to utilize it all.

Lord Geng Zilai was stunned upon seeing how fast they could get the work done.

He reckoned even if it was some other royal adviser, it would still take them weeks to come up with something concrete like this. 

'In front of King Lin Wu's subordinates, all others seem like a joke. What use are those scholars who spend decades preparing when even beasts can do better jobs than them?' Lord Geng Zilai found it a bit ridiculous.

The discussion ran for about an hour after which the people that Cang Ci had brought along quickly spread around to do the work. They cooperated with the people of the Steel Frost Island and got to work.

Lin Wu, on the other hand, decided that it was time for him to depart.

"I shall take my leave now, Lord Geng Zilai. I still have a long journey ahead of me." Lin Wu stated.

"Of course, I shan't take any more of your priceless time." Lord Geng Zilai replied.

He had seen just how much Lin Wu could do in a few hours. With the formations that Lin Wu could set up in that time, he could very easily earn a large amount of fortune. This alone spoke of just how much his time could cost.

Even a single minute was worth hundreds of spirit stones, if one thought practically.

"Mmm, I hope to see you again later." Lin Wu said while also taking a look at the system map. 

The system had already scanned ahead and charted out a path for him. 

"Tim! Let's go!" Lin Wu called out to the weasel.

~KI~

Tim, who was seemingly talking with the other beasts, quickly responded and arrived at his side.

"We leave?" Tim asked.

"Of course. Our work here is done… Plus, we got tons of fishing to do on the way there." Lin Wu hadn't forgotten that they had an ocean to cross, quite literally.

Tim's eyes lit up after hearing that, and his excitement was palpable.

"FISH! WE GO FISH!" Tim said out loud before directly turning into a blur.

"And there he goes…" Lin Wu shook his head before letting out a chuckle.

~WHOOSH~

He too flew off, creating a small storm behind him. The two beasts disappeared into the sky, parting the clouds in half. Lord Geng Zilai and his people could only watch with respectful eyes as their savior left them.

"Shall we get to work now, too?" Cang Ci said with a smile.
