Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu was supposed to meet Feng after a month to see if he accomplished his goal, but he had fallen asleep after returning to Tieba city.

'No, I would have known if the guy passed way before that…' Lin Wu looked at the system notification log.

After scrolling through it for a bit, he found it right there.

"Huh? He actually finished it in 2 weeks?" Lin Wu was surprised.

The notification was a bit old, which meant that it had popped up and Lin Wu might have just cleared it out without looking much.

"Oh, yeah… I was thinking it would take him at least a month, so any notification before that would just be some general stuff that I don't particularly need to see…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

It was the same as a notification on a smart phone. One would get a lot of them in a day and most were just useless, even though there was indeed some information.

In Lin Wu's case, it could be compared to that of a delivery that had arrived early, but Lin Wu cleared it out thinking it was just some promotional notification from the shopping application.

'Seems like my old habit carried over… the habits seem to linger, but the memories are fading.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He couldn't fully recall his past life, but certain things from then were still holding firmly in his mind. Pondering on it for a bit, Lin Wu pushed the thoughts away since he had another task at hand.

"Still, how the hell did he cause an explosion? A breakthrough at his level shouldn't case that…" Lin Wu said as he started to move towards where Feng was.

It took him barely a minute before he was there. His senses extended, and he started observing everything, wanting to know more before actually acting.

Above on the ground, a crowd was gathered around and a commotion was ongoing.

"Who would dare to attack the White Sheep Inn?" someone in the crowed questioned.

"Who knows? Could be anyone from their rivals," another person said.

Many such people discussed the matters while they observed the scene in front of them.

Right now, debris and broken parts of the inn could be seen lying around near it. A part of the building seemed to have been blown away, and approximately three floors were affected in the process.

Some of the rooms were entirely destroyed, while some were still half intact and their interior could now be seen.

"Only the lowest ranked wing of the White Sheep Inn seems to be targeted, though. Was someone the target of an assassination?"

"Maybe, but why would they target someone in the lowest ranked wing? Usually people worthy of such an assassination live in the high ranked wings right?"

"Hmm… could be someone hiding in that wing, maybe? They might have already known they would be killed, so they hid there to throw off the trail."

"Yeah, but their trick certainly failed if this is the result."

The people in the crowed continued to converse while the people of the White Sheep Inn were running around, trying to assess the situation. Even if it was just the lowest ranked wing that was affected, that too was only a part of it, the blame would still be on their heads.

After all, even if the other guests of the inn weren't affected directly, this would still tarnish the reputation of the White sheep Inn as a safe haven for all those that paid. And this in turn would affect the Yang Clan's face and they would not take it calmly.

"NONE SHALL LEAVE THIS PLACE!" Suddenly a shout was heard from the back, startling the crowed.

"Anyone that dares to leave without getting our permission shall be killed without hesitation!" Another order was spoken.

The people in the crowd weren't from a normal city and were furious upon hearing this. In Tieba city, these words were no less than picking a fight or inciting a riot. After all, the people in the crowed were made of a variety of unsavory people that didn't like to take orders.

But when they saw who had given out the orders, they stayed put.

"Damn! It's the Yang clan guards!" The people recognized.

The Yang Clan's guards were dressed in orange robes and had a black and grey armor on top of it. There was the crest of the Yang clan painted on the armor as well as embroidered on the robes of these guards.

None of the guards were weak either, with the lowest ranked being at the core condensation realm and the highest at the Dao Shell realm!

Such line up was enough to be part of a kingdom's army or even an elder's division in a sect, but now they were simply the guards of a clan.

"Its the Red Bandit! SHIT!" The people in the crowd saw an imposing person.

This man was dressed in similar robes to the rest of the Yang clan guards, but wore a helmed that was painted blood red. It revealed his face though, and black feather tassels hung from the side of its neck.

"This brute… why him?" The people in the crowd were terrified.

"When did the Yang clan recruit it?" they couldn't figure out.

The Red Bandit was an infamous expert in this region. He was said to have killed over three Dao Shell realm cultivators in the past and over a hundred Nascent soul realm experts. Not just that, he had a reputation for spilling blood for the smallest of things.

But of course, all of his acts had led to him being wanted by quite a few powers, since he had offended them. Finding him under the employment of the Yang clan was not something anyone had expected.

After all, if the Yang clan recruited him, they would offend other powers that were against the Red Bandit.

"Oh? Anyone have a problem with this arrangement? Do you all want to leave?" The Red Bandit said out loud.
