Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 396 - End Of The Two Men?

Having heard Jiao Fan's side of the story, Lin Wu could understand his thinking.

'Didn't expect just my crystal body having this kind of a misunderstanding for him…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

​​

Old Man Tiandi heard everything as well and couldn't help but agree with Jiao Fan's words. To him, Lin Wu also seemed like an ancient cultivator that had lost their body and now resided in a puppet like this.

"Are you done here?" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle suddenly spoke.

Old Man Tiandi and Jiao Fan were startled upon hearing the cry of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and looked at her. They couldn't understand what she said and only Lin Wu understood the meaning.

"Oh? You're done checking out the area? Did you find anything interesting?" Lin Wu asked instead.

"Yes, I'm done. We should leave now. There are too many humans here, I don't feel comfortable. And… I feel hungry again." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said.

While Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi could not understand the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's words, for some reason, they felt chills going down their body upon hearing the last cry of the beast.

"Hmm… okay. Let's leave then. You can have your appetite satisfied as well. I want to restore the energy I used as well." Lin Wu replied before turning to look at the two men.

"Wh-what do you want?" Jiao Fan asked, instantly feeling that something was wrong.

"Well… it was pleasurable meeting and talking to you, but now… it's time to go," Lin Wu said with a smile.

"Ah, so that's what it was—" Before Jiao Fan could complete his words, he saw something that terrified him.

~gulp~

Lin Wu had moved at a blinding speed and swallowed Old Man Tiandi whole. The man didn't even have the chance to resist, and he was gone.

"Wh-why?" Jiao Fan questioned, feeling absolutely lost.

"It's just business…" Lin Wu nonchalantly said before eating up Jiao Fan as well.

The man had no chance to let out a cry or scream and was quickly reduced to mush. Of course, under the effects of Lin Wu's body, their Nascent Souls that tried to escape were killed instantly.

The radiation that his body passively emanated was far too much for the Nascent Souls to bear, especially when they were literally inside his body. And just like that, the two men who had entertained Lin Wu for about ten hours now were no more.

"Well, that should compensate for some spirit Qi I used up," Lin Wu said before turning to the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.

"Let's head off, shall we? We got a lot more humans out there." Lin Wu stated.

"Okay," The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle agreed and the two beasts left the temple.

***

Some distance from the temple, a woman was watching it closely.

"What is happening in there? What the hell was that strong spirit Qi wave?" the woman said as she wiped some sweat off her forehead.

~RUMBLE~

And just as she said that, she saw the two beasts who had entered the temple reappear.

"Did… did they change? Why's the bird beast like that now?" The woman realized.

And just as she was looking at the two beasts, she noticed something else. One of the beasts was looking in her direction.

"No… it can't be… is it looking at me?" The Woman wondered as she saw Lin Wu gaze at her direction or perhaps even at her.

Lin Wu, who had just returned to the surface, checked the map for any differences and found it to be relatively normal.

"There she is, I'll go meet with a certain person, while you can go and eat." Lin Wu said to the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.

"Sure." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said before flapping her wings.

~shua~

A single flap of her wings created strong winds that toppled the few buildings that were still standing nearby. As for the debris of the previously collapsed buildings, it was pushed away too. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle then started to fly up into the sky and gazed at the people below.

In reality, since she was at the Dao Shell real, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle didn't even need to flap her wings to fly. She could literally take off straight up and hover, using just her cultivation base. But since she had been used to flying like this for hundreds of years, it was hard for her to give up.

Besides, flying using her wings was far faster than by just using her own cultivation base. This was the one benefit flying beasts had over other non- flying beasts. When they reached the Nascent Soul realm, their speed while flying would still be far greater than the others.

~Piiiii~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle let out a loud cry that sent shivers down the people's spines. Meanwhile, Lin Wu calmly apportioned the woman who had been staring at him the entire time and had been spying for a certain mistress.

"He's really coming here!" The woman said to herself, feeling shocked.

She didn't know what to do at first, but then remembered her orders. The woman gritted her teeth and hesitated, but as Lin Wu got closer, her heart started to waver.

"Mistress will understand me, I'm sure of it. This was not my mission anyway," The woman said to herself before turning away and stepping into the air.

~shua~

But in the very next moment, she found a large emerald green wall appearing in front of her, blocking her way.

"W-what!" The woman said as she saw the obstacle.

"Now, now, not so fast," Lin Wu said as he got closer to the woman.

It was his tail that had blocked the woman's way. The woman turned around while shuddering slightly. Her eyes met those of Lin Wu and trembled as if a sheep encountering a wolf.

"Well… Hello there~"
