Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 260 - Reporting Back To The Clan?

Shirong went straight to the location of the merchant that worked for the Ji clan secretly. There were many of these people all over the continent, in each kingdom. They would gather intelligence for the Ji clan and also help supply the things to their other members that were current in that kingdom.

In some cases, they also brought a lot of business and profit to the Ji clan. These people were still merchants in the true sense only difference was where their loyalties lied. 

It took Shirong much longer than he had expected to reach the merchant. The place was much smaller than one would expect and looked a bit run down too. His carriage couldn't progress beyond a certain point due to the road being smaller and he stopped.

"Wait here, I'll be back later," Shirong ordered the servant and guards before walking into a narrow alley.

There he found the Shop that he was supposed to enter. There was no name board on it, and it was hard to identify for anyone. Unless they knew about it, they would have no idea that this place even worked.

~knock~ knock~

"The will of Ji is absolute." Shirong muttered the password before the door.

~creek~

The door of the shop opened and an old man stood behind it. He didn't speak anything and simply let Shirong in.

He went to a trunk that was placed on the ground and waved his hand over it.

~shua~

A formation appeared on the surface of the trunk and glowed for a few seconds before fading away. Then, from that trunk, he pulled out more trunks that were the same size as it. It was evident that the trunk was no common object and was rather a High Grade spatial storage tool.

The old man placed these trunks before Shirong and gestured to them.

"Here are the supplies that were provided by the clan, for the Young master's mission. If you need more, I can provide them for the right price." The Old man spoke.

"Let me take a look," Shirong said before opening the trunks one by one.

There were plenty of alchemical pills and spirit stones present in each of the trunk. There were even defensive talismans and some spirit tools that could come in handy for Shirong.

Then in one of the trunks, he found a small palm sized box. Upon seeing the Ji clan's crest on top of it, Shirong instantly realized what it was.

He opened it and saw the identity token that was placed upon a soft velvet cushion. Shirong cut his finger with a little bit of wind and dripped his blood onto the identity token. The token absorbed the blood in less than a second and glowed with a red light.

Its surface started to change as new letters appeared on it. The letters read: Shirong. This now fully confirmed that it was indeed Shirong who was the owner of the token. 

This token was actually a high grade spirit tool as well and had the functions such as verifying the user's identity, tracking their position, tracking their vitals, sending distress signals and also as a key to the Ji Clan's lands.

"Is there anything else you need? The merchant questioned.

"Yes, I do; The teleportation formation to contact the clan." Shirong stated.

The merchant looked a bit apprehensive, but upon seeing the token in his hand became relaxed. 

"Please come with me." The old man said, before taking Shirong to another room in the back. In this room, a lot of expensive goods such as spirit tools and weapons were being kept.

One of such things was a cabinet that had a lot of runes carved on it. These runes were intricate, and Lin Wu could tell they were runes used for spatial teleportation. He had seen the better and higher version of these runes in the Tomb of the Taiji Celestial and was well aware of them.

"Here it is." The merchant said, gesturing to the cabinet.

Shirong walked to the cabinet and took out a jade slip from his storage. He had recorded all he needed to report to the clan in this during the past few days, and just needed to send it now. He opened the doors of the cabinet and placed the jade slip in the center before locking its doors.

He placed his hand on the cabinet and poured spirit Qi into it.

~shua~

The runes on it lit up and the entire formation appeared on it now. If it was any other person they would have needed spirit stones to operate the formation as it required a lot of spirit Qi at once. Even if someone had that much spirit Qi they may not be able to output it all at once.

Thus the spirit stones helped in that aspect. But for Shirong, this was no problem now that he was in the Nascent Soul realm and could handle it just on his own. It took a minute before the formation was fully ready and the jade slip disappeared.

Shirong lifted his hand from the cabinet and nodded his head.

"This should be fine now…" Shirong muttered to himself.

After this, he didn't say much to the merchant and simply left the shop, returning to the carriage.

"Head to the royal palace!" Shirong ordered.

~Neigh~

The horse neighed before the carriage headed towards the royal palace. It was not hard to find the royal palace, as it was located at the very center of the city and could be seen from each point in the city.

It was the tallest building in the city and no one would have a problem finding it. The carriage came to stop at the inner gates of the palace before it could not progress anymore. Shirong got down and headed into the building while being greeted by the servants.

It was evident that they had already been informed of his arrival and were there specifically for him. It was now that he heard a voice call out to him.

"Young master Shirong, You're finally here!"
