Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

It didn't take long before Yang Ranran reached his residence.

'This is more of a fortress than a normal residence…' Lin Wu thought as he took a closer look at the place.

While he had seen it on the map, seeing it in person was still quite an experience. The residence was about five hundred square meters in size and had several individual buildings inside it.

The whole residence was surrounded by a ten meter tall compound wall and had formation arrays cast onto it. There were also several guards patrolling the top of the wall.

The interior of the residence was divided into three kinds of buildings. The first was the main building where Yang Ranran lived with his concubines. The second kind of residence was the barracks where the Yang clan guards lived.

Yang Ranran was technically given the position of commander in the Yang clan guards, thus having these many guards live near him was normal. This allowed him to act quickly in times of trouble.

An example of this was what had happened today. The Yang clan had its businesses distributed all over the city and thus they had several such 'residences' all over the city, located near their businesses.

As for the third kind of a building, this was just the servant quarters and facilities, like the kitchen and storage.

If this was located outside Tieba city, this residence along could be considered a kind of a place since it had everything that a palace did. There was even a prison built under the residence.

"There's barely two people in the prison too…" Lin Wu was surprised.

But then he reckoned with Yang Ranran's personality it was rare for someone to survive long.

"Doesn't seem like they were tortured. They have no injuries." Lin Wu observed the prisoners and found them to be relatively fine.

While their clothes were dirty and so were their surroundings, they didn't seem to be imprisoned for something too bad.

Lin Wu checked the system's data to see if these guys were some important people.

"Huh… no records?" Lin Wu was surprised.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The two prisoners were brought in just a day ago and thus there are no records of them.

——

"Interesting… maybe Yang Ranran has simply not gotten to them." Lin Wu reckoned.

The two prisoners were locked in different cells and it didn't seem like they knew of each other's presence either. The prison cells were reinforced with formation arrays and even a Nascent soul realm cultivator might find it hard to escape.

As for the two prisoners, Lin Wu found them to be at the peak of the core condensation realm.

~CREAK~

And just as he was watching the two prisoners, the entrance gate of the prison opened.

"Leave him. I'll deal with him from here." Yang Ranran said to the guards.

"Y-yes sir!" the guards hurriedly responded, knowing well enough what was going to happen and they certainly didn't want to wait and watch that.

Feng was still shackled and was easily carried by Yang Ranran. The boy's face had turned calm by now and it was unknown what thoughts were going through his mind.

Yang Ranran carried him like a suitcase and walked all the way to the end of the prison, going past the two prisoners who were visible scared upon seeing the Red Bandit. They almost let out a yelp but held their tongues in.

Upon reaching the end of the prison, Yang Ranran opened a metal door.

~shua~

He passed through some kind of a barrier before arriving in a room that was completely different from the rest of the prison. The room was bright and a few white lamps made from illumination pearls were hanging from the ceiling.

There were bookshelves, show cases as well as a desk and table in the center of the room.

"The brute has a study? Interesting…" Lin Wu muttered.

While Yang Ranran had the appearance of a crude and violent person on the outside, he wasn't dumb. Rather he was quite smart and there was a reason why he had lived this long despite offending many people.

His talent was also enough to show that he didn't lack any comprehension ability either. After all, he was at the Dao Shell realm and could easily become the sect patriarch if he ever started a sect.

Even in top sects, he would have the position of a high elder.

Feng noticed the change in lightning and looked around with a little difficult.

'This isn't the prison…' Feng realized.

~thud~

Yang Ranran put Feng down and opened the shackles on his hands and feet.

"Stand up." Yang Ranran said.

His voice was still firm, but didn't have the adverse tone to it like before. Feng detected the fine change in this and became suspicious.

"What do you want?" Feng asked, seeing that Yang Ranran had freed his body.

"Wait here for a day. You can leave after that. The suspicious of other people should have worn off by then. It's good that your face is covered in soot, it'll make it easier to mistake you." Yang Ranran replied.

"Huh? What do you mean? You're just letting me go?" Feng was confused.

"Yes. You can go now too, but the people will be watching the residence. They might just become interested in you as well." Yang Ranran said. "After all, not many come out of my prison alive." He added.

Feng's mind worked quickly, and he could roughly grasp the reasoning behind it. He had after all, blown up the White Sheep pavilion, even if it was by accident. Getting out of it scot-free would be a miracle.

There was still one thing that Feng didn't understand, though.

"Why would you let me go though? You were the opposite before." Feng questioned.

"You should thank your backer… whoever it is." Yang Ranran said, a hint of anxiety appearing on his face. "Dammit, you should have said what your background was, all this could have been avoided then." The man said, shaking his head.
